A street urchin turned academic genius, starting by saving the blind school beauty.

Chapter 128 Let Xu Qingwan move in?

"You're the first friend I've heard Xiaowan mention. She must have thought a lot about what it would take for her to talk about."

"And your grandfather won't treat you badly. You can tutor her for two hours every Sunday, and the price will be the standard rate of five hundred per hour."

After speaking, Xu Fang took an envelope from the desk next to him and handed it to Lu Zhaoye.

"There's 10,000 yuan in here, consider it a deposit."

"?"

Lu Zhaoye frowned slightly. It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by the envelope in front of him. If he had 10,000 yuan to bet on the match, he could easily make more than 60,000 yuan.

Moreover, if you take two hours of extra classes a week, each class costs 500 yuan, which is 1,000 yuan a day. You only need to take the classes for about two months.

Lu Zhaoye was tempted, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the money.

"Grandpa Xu, I agree, but there's one thing we need to make clear: the tutoring time on Sundays might not be fixed; it could be in the morning or the afternoon."

"Furthermore, I cannot guarantee how significantly Xu Qingwan's grades will improve. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day. I can only assure you that her grades will definitely improve, but not right now."

Xu Fang laughed heartily, his voice full of energy, and his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Lu Zhaoye.

"It's alright, I'm relieved that you can say that."

Lu Zhaoye didn't waste any words, he just stood there and smiled, then took the envelope Xu Fang handed him and put it in his pocket.

"Ono, we were just talking about what Xiaowan asked me to do. Now, let's talk about what's between us."

Lu Zhaoye was taken aback, then nodded solemnly.

"Okay, don't be so formal, sit down and let's talk."

Without any hesitation, Lu Zhaoye moved Lao Gao's chair over and, as if he were at home, rummaged through a corner under Lao Zhang's table and pulled out a packet of tea.

"Grandpa Xu, Old Zhang's tea is really good, he hides it from me every day and won't let me drink it."

Xu Fang stared blankly at Lu Zhaoye, who had suddenly become mischievous, and the words Zhang Jianhua had said to him came to mind.

"This kid is a real troublemaker."

Xu Fang rested one hand on the desk, chuckled as he looked at the tea Lu Zhaoye had already placed in front of him, and his mood brightened along with Lu Zhaoye's lively spirit.

"This tea is good, but it's still lacking something."

Lu Zhaoye sat opposite Xu Fang, slurped a mouthful of food, and pursed his lips.

"Old Zhang is so stingy, he just uses water from the water dispenser. No wonder it doesn't taste good."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fang laughed heartily, shook his head with a smile, and then slowly said,

"Xiao Ye, what do you think of my Xiao Wan?"

"Resilient, independent, kind," Lu Zhaoye put down his teacup and uttered three words without hesitation.

Xu Fang's eyes lit up. Lu Zhaoye's answer, given without hesitation, was exactly the same as his own view of his granddaughter.

"Anything else?"

Lu Zhaoye knew exactly what Xu Fang was testing, but he didn't dwell on it. After a moment's thought, he continued to answer.

"Inferiority complex, timidity, cowardice."

Xu Fang paused, holding the teacup, clearly not expecting Lu Zhaoye to give this answer.

Lu Zhaoye glanced at it indifferently, without much reaction.

Young people always crave better and more perfect answers, but what's most precious about them is their youth.

Before you turn thirty, some people might bully you because you're young.

After you turn thirty, as young people enter middle age, you'll find that those people can no longer fool you, and you'll see right through their so-called emotional intelligence.

Because that's nothing more than taking advantage of children's sincerity.

And this is why Lu Zhaoye and Xu Qingwan's relationship has progressed to this point from beginning to end.

When he sees Xu Qingwan in a difficult situation, he will offer her an umbrella and lend a helping hand within his power.

"Xiao Ye, what about you? What kind of person do you think you are?" Xu Fang came back to his senses and looked at Lu Zhaoye with narrowed eyes.

Lu Zhaoye was taken aback and remained silent.

Xu Fang's lips curled slightly, and then he slowly explained, "We've just met, so naturally I don't know who you are."

"However, there's one thing I'm quite certain about you," Xu Fang paused, then slowed his speech and said gently.

Only kind people can see the kindness in others.

Lu Zhaoye's heart stirred slightly, and he laughed heartily, "Grandpa Xu, please don't praise me."

Xu Fang also lost the intention to test Lu Zhaoye. In fact, after hearing Lu Zhaoye say the word "kindness", he realized that...

He felt that the second thing was something he could talk about.

"Ono, you should know that Xiaowan never eats breakfast, right?"

Lu Zhaoye responded with a nod.

"Sigh, it's not good for Xiaowan to keep not eating, so I'd like to ask you to help me keep an eye on her," Xu Fang said sincerely, placing his hands on the table.

"It's nothing, Grandpa Xu, don't worry," Lu Zhaoye waved his hand and agreed.

"I'm relieved to hear that," Xu Fang said with a smile, then abruptly changed the subject.

"But as you know, Xiaowan doesn't have many friends. If she lives in the dormitory and gets bullied, she won't even know it."

Lu Zhaoye raised an eyebrow. With him, the King of Guanzhong, protecting Xu Qingwan, who would dare to touch her?

"I heard you live off-campus, so I was wondering if my daughter, Xiaowan, could..."

"No!" Lu Zhaoye's expression changed, and he immediately jumped up. He didn't even hear what Xu Fang said next.

"Grandpa Xu, I'm a boy, living together is absolutely out of the question."

Are you kidding me? There's Luo Xiao at home, and Zhang Xinhan next door. If they all get together, I'll be torn to pieces.

Xu Fang smirked and gestured for Lu Zhaoye to quiet down.

"Ono, I meant for Xiaowan to live near your house, not for her to live at your house."

Lu Zhaoye thought about it briefly and decided that it still wouldn't work. Wouldn't he run into Luo Xiao and the others sooner or later?

But just as he was about to refuse, Xu Fang pulled out another envelope from somewhere and handed it to him.

"Just keep an eye on her for me from time to time. Here's ten thousand yuan, consider it breakfast money."

"..."

Lu Zhaoye opened his mouth, but the words of refusal that were originally meant to be sternly refused were accidentally swallowed back down his throat, filled with the taste of worldly wealth and money, which was quite sweet.

"Grandpa Xu, is this also what Xu Qingwan requested?" Lu Zhaoye asked.

Xu Fang shook his head. "No, this is my request."

Lu Zhaoye was a little skeptical, something about it felt off, but he still agreed.

"Okay, I agree."

Xu Fang laughed heartily. Although this kid seemed stubborn and unyielding, no high school student could refuse so much money.

Once a person has desires, they can negotiate very well.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, this matter was actually at his granddaughter's request, but he had already discussed it with Xiaowan before coming.

The first thing he can help with is this.

As for the second matter, he would need to see what kind of person Lu Zhaoye, whom Xiaowan had mentioned, was before deciding whether or not to help.

Xu Fang knew very well that he was too old and no longer had the ability to help Xiao Wan get over her inner conflict.

But Lu Zhaoye was different; they were the same age, and Xu Fang trusted his judgment.

"Ono, thank you."
