Chapter 37 What Are We?

Zhou Xiao was a little confused. She raised her head in a daze and looked at the somewhat serious man in front of her. If she remembered correctly, this man seemed to be standing behind Keke’s boyfriend yesterday…

“What’s the matter?”Zhou Xiao asked in a low voice.

Wei Ling bent down and said in a polite tone, “Sorry to bother you. Mr. Huo would like to invite you over for a talk.” After saying that, he pointed at the black sedan not far away.

“Oh?”Zhou Xiao looked at Wei Ling warily. “It’s going to be class soon, and I don’t know you or Mr. Huo.”

Her response was painless to Wei Ling. He merely repeated coolly, “Mr. Huo would like to have a few words with you. He is Miss Keke’s fiancé.”

Zhou Xiao instantly thought of the noble man who claimed to be Keke’s husband. She hesitated. “But…” She did not think there was something to discuss between her and Keke’s fiancé. But before she could refuse again, Wei Ling politely made an inviting gesture to her. “Miss Zhou, don’t worry. It’s just a few words. You will be back for class in time.”

Zhou Xiao pursed her lips. She took a deep breath and followed Wei Ling to the black car. Zhou Xiao didn’t recognize the car, but she had seen it in a boy’s magazine in her class. She remembered that the boy had said that it was a limited-edition luxury car in the world. It was invaluable and could not be measured by money.

At the thought of this, Zhou Xiao stopped walking. She did not dare to get into the car.

“Miss Zhou, please,” Wei Ling opened the car door and said in a cold voice.

As the car door opened, Zhou Xiao saw the noble figure. She could not see his face, but she could notice the tailored suit on him. She sat in the car uneasily and did not dare to avert her eyes to look at the person beside her.

The man came with such an imposing presence.

Zhou Xiao could not help but press her hand against her thigh slightly. The air in the car was stuffy yet quiet. Zhou Xiao could even hear the sound of her heart beating fast. She wanted to be the ice breaker. But sitting beside this icy man, she dared not so much as breathe too loud to register his attention, let alone say something

“You are Keke’s friend.”

Finally, Huo Quan’s voice appeared in the car. It was very pleasant to the ear.

Zhou Xiao pursed her lips but did not speak. She lowered her head deep and nodded lightly.

“Keke has told me a lot about you.” Huo Quan stated coolly as his eyes finally settled on the person beside him. He had not heard a lot of names from Li Miaoke. Keke was among the very few. The first time Li Miaoke mentioned Zhou Xiao to Huo Quan, he had managed to glean her personal information, including her report card from when she was young and her impressions on the people who knew her.

This girl was so kind that she might appear stupid to others.

Zhou Xiao was from a divorced family and now lived with her mother. Her father had divorced her mother when she was seven years old. Then he found a rich woman who assisted him in his promotion to a company manager.

Zhou Xiao tightened her grip.

Huo Quan had noticed all her slightest movements. “Do you have confidence in your friend?”

Zhou Xiao really wanted to say that she did, but Keke had said it herself yesterday that she was…

“I…” Zhou Xiao clenched her fists and said in a low voice, “I don’t know.” “Keke likes you very much and values your friendship.” Huo Quan leaned against the car seat and crossed his long legs.

Zhou Xiao did not understand why this man was talking to her. When she finally mustered the courage to look at the man beside her, she was completely defeated when she met his deep-set eyes.

Although she did not know what this man in front of her did, she knew that this man’s identity was unusual. Kinsland High School was a prestigious private school. Both the principal and the school leaders had a lot of power. However, yesterday, she actually saw the principal and the school leaders fawning in front of this man with a respectful attitude.

If she remembered correctly, the principal called this man director at that time.

Zhou Xiao couldn’t understand why such a man would be with Li Miaoke. If Li Miaoke was what she thought she was. Then Li Miaoke was the intruder in her sister’s relationship.

“Can… can you let Keke go?” Zhou Xiao clenched her hands tightly and looked at Huo Quan’s indifferent face. She said weakly, “If you are not serious with Keke, can you just let her go? She is…”

“Let her go?” Huo Quan chuckled. “Do you know what we are?”
