45 Pen (2/2)

With that, he handed the pen to Wan Chao.

She hadn't expected that this little boy would be so kind-hearted, that he didn't pursue the matter.

Wan Chao took the pen and continued to look grateful, thanking him.

The boy looked at Wan Chao again, then hurriedly turned around and left.

Wan Chao looked at the boy's flustered back view and rolled her eyes. Was this kid scared by her beauty?

It was all Jiang Kechu's fault.

Wan Chao didn't want to stir up any trouble at the moment. She only wanted to study hard and help Bai Zhexi run the soy sauce business, get into a good university, and live happily with her.

She stuffed the pen back into her schoolbag, lifted her hand, and saw that it was getting late, and hastened to the school.

During the evening self-study, Wan Chao tried her best to get rid of all distractions and lowered her head to study.

Her tablemate had looked up several times to see that Wan Chao'er was stroking a pen with one hand, and it seemed very strange. It seemed very precious.

When she returned home at night, Wan Chao placed a key in front of Bai Zhexi.

Bai Zhexi looked at the key and asked curiously: ”Where did you get this key?”

Wan Chao smiled and told her about Liu Li returning a thousand yuan, as well as the fact that she rented a small yard.

After a long time, Bai Zhexi could not recover her wits. She looked at the key and then at her somewhat immature sixteen-year-old daughter.

She hadn't thought that Chao'er would be able to get a thousand yuan. She also hadn't thought that this child would have such a big idea.

She didn't even talk about it with her before taking the initiative to rent a house.

Seeing that Bai Zhexi could not recover from her shock for a long time, Wan Chao pondered for a moment. Had she gone too far?

She organized her thoughts and said to Bai Zhexi, ”Mom, I didn't purposely not discuss this with you nor spend money carelessly. Look, we're making more and more sauces now, this place is really too small, and it's upstairs, it's too inconvenient to go up and down. Although we've spent money now, we'll always get it back …”

When Bai Zhexi saw how her daughter carefully consoled her, she felt extremely sad. She raised her hand to hold her daughter's hand, stopping her explanation. However, her tears still flowed down in a daze.

”Mom, I'm sorry, I won't do that ever again. Mom, I'm sorry, don't cry …”

Her mother's tears burned her heart.

”Mom doesn't blame you. I feel that I've let you down too much. You're still a high school student, and in the end, everything has to be done for you. Mom is too incompetent, and you still have to coax her. You did very well. Mom doesn't blame you, but Mom just felt too worried, and she couldn't hold back her tears.”

Wan Chao heaved a sigh of relief and carefully wiped her tears away. She said, ”Mom, as long as you're fine and stay by my side, then anything is better than anything.”

Bai Zhexi murmured, ”Yes, we must be fine, mother and daughter.” She held her daughter's hand tightly, feeling that she had never been so close to her daughter before.
