Chapter 281: Too Many Handsome Guys Around Su Zhaozhao
Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Too Many Handsome Guys Around Su Zhaozhao
Xu Jiaxin had seen her fair share of handsome men, but she was discovering that Su Zhaozhao was surrounded by even more.
Her own brother, for instance, was considered one of the most handsome men in their wealthy social circle.
Plenty of women were always chasing after him.
Then there was Xie Huaizheng. He looked cold and aloof, but he was wonderful to Su Zhaozhao.
She had been eating meals with them at their house recently, and aside from the first day when Xie Huaizheng had been inexplicably cold, he had seemed perfectly nice the rest of the time.
And the way he took care of Su Zhaozhao was just on another level.
And now this doctor was handsome too!
Plus, they were all different types. Xu Jiaxin felt dazzled.
Hearing Xu Jiaxin’s words, Su Zhaozhao let out a laugh. "Don’t get the wrong idea. I just know him, that’s all."
"Just know him? You’re not even friends? The way he looked at you just now was completely different from how he looked at me. Oh my god, the tenderness in his eyes was practically overflowing!"
Xu Jiaxin was getting very excited as she spoke.
Even though she knew Su Zhaozhao was married, she still felt that Zhaozhao looked incredibly compatible with every man around her.
’If only I could meet a man who’s both handsome and considerate in the future.’
’What about Xu Ziyang?’
’Actually, Xu Ziyang isn’t bad either.’ They occasionally wrote letters and even talked on the phone now. Thinking of this, Xu Jiaxin couldn’t help but break into a sweet smile.
Watching the ever-changing expressions on Xu Jiaxin’s face, Su Zhaozhao couldn’t help but sigh. "Jiaxin, can you please stop overthinking things? Sometimes, the ideas in your head are truly baffling to me."
Su Zhaozhao couldn’t help but give a wry smile as she said this.
"There’s really nothing between him and me. We just met when I was in the hospital before."
’Maybe we could have been considered friends back then?’
At the time, she didn’t have many friends here, and Lin Shumo’s kindness and gentleness had been a source of warmth for her.
They had gone out to eat together and helped patients together. She would teach him about psychology, and he would tell her how to take better care of her health and get sick less often.
Back then, their relationship could really have been described as good.
’But now?’
Because of what happened with Gu Qingran, Su Zhaozhao had long since silently let go of Lin Shumo in her heart.
They weren’t even friends anymore, and there was no need to be. It would just prevent any future awkwardness because of Gu Qingran.
"So what’s your plan? For Zhaodi, I can provide the money, but can we guarantee she’ll actually study hard?" Xu Jiaxin asked, looking at Su Zhaozhao.
Her family was wealthy, so they had realized the importance of education early on. Xu Jiaxin herself had worked very hard to get into the local university.
It wasn’t easy to get into a university these days; in fact, even getting into a technical college was already quite an achievement.
And Xu Jiaxin’s success in getting into university was also thanks to her parents constantly hiring tutors for her.
Because they all knew how important education was.
"But in an environment like Wang Zhaodi’s, can she really focus on her studies?"
"Don’t worry, I’ll keep a close eye on her. If her grades drop, I’ll talk to her immediately."
Su Zhaozhao’s words made Xu Jiaxin laugh. "Okay, Zhaozhao, that’s good to hear. I was honestly a little worried, because we both know that education is her only way out!"
Xu Jiaxin was very concerned for girls from families like that.
Especially since Wang Zhaodi was so smart, eager to learn, and so well-behaved.
"Relax. As long as I’m here, I’ll keep watch. I can even give you reports."
Su Zhaozhao winked at Xu Jiaxin. "But you, on the other hand... paying for her three years of middle school will cost a fair bit of money."
"It’s not that much money! Zhaozhao, don’t feel bad for me. My family is loaded." Xu Jiaxin patted her chest. "That’s why I said it would have been great if you’d married my brother. You wouldn’t have to work at all right now. You could be living a life of pampered luxury as a young mistress in our Shencheng City."
"No, no, my husband is amazing too! He’s wonderful—handsome, has a great body, and he’s very capable."
Besides, she now knew that Xie Huaizheng’s family wasn’t poor by any means.
’Hmm... actually, I could probably just coast now.’ But Su Zhaozhao wasn’t the type of person who liked to do nothing.
Su Zhaozhao was happy to have things to do now and then. If she did absolutely nothing, she would feel extremely empty.
"I think so too. Zhaozhao, you’re probably going to take the college entrance exam and want to go to university, right?"
"That’s right. I’m taking the exam next year, so I have to study hard and hit the books."
Xu Jiaxin immediately broke into a smile. "Okay! If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. I don’t really remember much of that stuff now, but I can do my best to help you recall it."
"Okay, thank you," Su Zhaozhao said to Xu Jiaxin.
’The girl described as the vicious supporting female character in the novel is actually this cute and warm-hearted.’
’It’s probably because I’m not the female lead, so Xu Jiaxin doesn’t have to compete with me, right?’
She had shown herself to be very kind in certain ways, just like today.
Su Zhaozhao went with Xu Jiaxin to her guesthouse, and that evening, the two of them found a nearby restaurant for dinner.
She had already told Xie Huaizheng that she wouldn’t be back for dinner.
After all, Xu Jiaxin was leaving tomorrow. And while it wasn’t too far from the city, making it not too difficult for them to meet, there were other factors.
But Su Zhaozhao was very busy these days, and so was Xu Jiaxin, who had classes and other things on weekdays.
On top of that, Xie Huaizheng was currently unwilling to let Su Zhaozhao go into the city without him, so it would be completely normal if they only saw each other once every six months.
That night, they found a decent little restaurant nearby. Xu Jiaxin ordered a lot of food and even asked the owner for a bottle of shaojiu.
"Zhaozhao, have a drink with me. Who knows when we’ll see each other next? I think, if I come here during winter break, we might be able to meet. But you don’t want to see my brother, and he always insists on coming to take me home."
Su Zhaozhao furrowed her brow at Xu Jiaxin’s words.
At that moment, Xu Jiaxin seemed especially perceptive.
"Zhaozhao, okay, okay, I get it. You don’t like my brother, so I won’t bring him up in front of you anymore. Don’t worry, I won’t let him know you’re here either. You’re already married, but my brother still hasn’t given up. What on earth is he thinking?"
Su Zhaozhao didn’t know how to tell Xu Jiaxin that Xu Jiaming had actually been here before and had even tried to drive a wedge between her and Xie Huaizheng. He just hadn’t succeeded.
’But forget it, better not to talk about all that.’
"Mm, thank you, Jiaxin. But since your brother said he would let go, I’ll trust that he will."
Su Zhaozhao still had some faith in Xu Jiaming.
Although he had seemed erratic at first, he had become much more normal later on.
