Upon hearing her words, Mu Tianwei panicked and said, “Why are you letting your imagination run wild? I’d be willing as long as you need the money!” However, he still felt the pinch.
The annual dividends would be handed to him and if Luo Zheng were to collect them herself, she would definitely find out. Hence, he was put on the spot!
Satisfied with his decision to agree, Luo Zheng praised merrily, “Father, you’re so nice! I must let those girls know that I’m a real heiress. We’ll see if they dare to look down on me again.”
Luo Zheng deliberately sounded childish. She decided to leave for school afterwards.
“Tianwei, look at her. She actually had the guts to ask for so much! Are you really going to give her five million yuan?”
Li Shufen was so angry that she rolled her eyes in annoyance, completely disregarding the fact that the money belonged to Luo Zheng in the first place!
Suppressing his anger, Mu Tianwei said calmly, “Mother, we’ll just give it to her if she wants it! Xuanxuan, pay attention to Zheng and inform me immediately if you find anything amiss about her.”
He could not help but feel worried, for he felt that there was something different about Luo Zheng, especially because she attended Luo Tingxue’s birthday party!
Fortunately, I have come in between her and the Luo Family... However, I still have to be more careful. I will be able to get the shares in less than half a year’s time.
He would not allow there to be any mistakes or accidents!
While listening, Su Xuanxuan complained, “Uncle, you have no idea how obsessed Luo Zheng is with boys. The university entrance examinations are just around the corner and yet, she’s still in the mood to woo Xi Mubai! Everyone in high school knows about this and they all say that she’s shameless... ”
Mu Cuiyun chimed in, “Let her go ahead and continue making a fool out of herself. She’s so shameless, it’s best that she ruins her own reputation! By then, we’ll chase her out of the Mu Family home and she can continue making a fool out of herself! We still have Mu Sen and Nianqing anyway. Who is she!?!”
“You’re right. Mu Sen and Nianqing are my dearest grandchildren! Luo Zheng is a Luo, not a Mu. The thought of it just irks me.”
Li Shufen looked extremely mean and harsh.
“Mother, Cuiyun, don’t provoke Zheng for the next half of the year! I don’t want her to bear a grudge against us and end up colluding with the Luo Family and insist on keeping her shares... ”
Mu Tianwei frowned, still feeling uneasy.
The Mu Family members looked at each other and decided that they had to bear with it no matter how indignant they felt!

“Ding-Dong... ”
Luo Zheng received a text message as soon as she entered the school compound with a lollipop in her hand.
She opened it to see that it was a notification informing her that she had received five million yuan.
They were rather quick in transferring the money. However, they still owe me plenty!
“Zheng... ”
Just as she was about to make her way up the building, she heard a noise coming from afar.
Luo Zheng cocked her head towards the side to see a girl scurrying towards her. “Xinlei, it’s you! Were you absent from school yesterday?”
Although it was just a guess, she reckoned that it should be true.
After all, Jiang Xinlei’s plan to plot against her had failed and she even ended up being molested. Had she been at school yesterday, she would have already confronted Luo Zheng!
Jiang Xinlei turned pale in shock. She had been staying at the hospital yesterday and was furious because Luo Zheng would not answer her calls.
“Zheng, why didn’t you answer my calls!?!”
She sounded rather hoarse and seemed to be suppressing her anger.
She failed at setting Luo Zheng up and ended up letting Gu Sisi take some nude photos of her. She even got played and abandoned by Mu Sen who almost caused her to get raped by Wuzi!
Luo Zheng should have been the one suffering that torment, not her!
Luo Zheng smiled and explained, “Oh, I damaged my mobile phone by accident and only got it replaced not too long ago. I haven’t had the time to get a new SIM card yet.”
Before Jiang Xinlei could even answer, she continued, “I left the hotel early that night because I was developing an allergic reaction to the aphrodisiac! Look, I’m still suffering the effects now and I don’t want to spread them to you... ”
She then lifted her sleeve to show Jiang Xinlei the red dots on her arm before retreating to leave a distance between them.
As expected, Jiang Xinlei did not suspect anything. Instead, she changed the subject. “Zheng, I heard about the bet that you made with Madam Zhao as soon as I arrived at school today. Is that true?”
“Yes, it is.”
Luo Zheng answered briefly while the sweetness of the candy lingered in her mouth.
It was a habit of hers to bring candy around with her wherever she goes, be it in the previous or present lifetime!
“Zheng, I don’t know what happened but I believe that you’re intelligent enough to make it to the top ten and win the bet against Madam Zhao, as long as you’re willing to.”
