"Zhang Chao, why did you let Xue Wei go just like that?"

Li Mengjie bit her chopsticks as she looked at Zhang Chao with suspicion.

This morning, Xue Wei's arrogant appearance was still echoing in Li Mengya's mind. Although Xue Wei was expelled in the end, no matter how he looked at it, it did not appease him.

"Otherwise?"

Zhang Chao smiled, he did not want to do anything to Xue Wei in the first place, he just wanted to beat him up.

But who knew that Xue Wei would cause so much trouble, and that he would be expelled.

"I thought you would …"

Li Mengjie thought about it, she really did not think that Zhang Chao would do anything to him, but she felt that letting him off this easily was too easy.

Biting his chopsticks, he rubbed his head gloomily, but no answer came out.

"Let's not talk about this first. Shouldn't you introduce the beauty beside you to me?"

Zhang Chao smiled, and his gaze landed on a girl who was sitting next to Li Mengjie that he had never seen before.

Although Li Mengjie was not difficult to get along with, but to be able to be recognized as a friend by Li Mengjie could be said to be very few.

"Oh, this is... My friend is called Shen Meng, you are not allowed to bully her. "

Li Mengjie said while beaming, and then told Zhang Chao about Shen Meng protecting herself. This caused Shen Meng, who was seated at the side, to not be able to hold back from blushing, to look at Li Mengjie with slight embarrassment, without saying a word.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Chao."

Zhang Chao smiled, and did not ask too much about what Li Mengjie had said. After all, this was a school, so it was impossible for them to say that there was any sort of shortcut for Li Mengjie's students.

Zhang Chao yawned lazily and finished his lunch. He had not eaten since the morning and was really hungry now.

Zhang Chao, the day after tomorrow is my birthday.

Li Mengjie took out an invitation from her backpack and handed it over to Zhang Chao.

"Birthday party? "Not going."

Zhang Chao rejected without any hint of melancholy, and said indifferently after drinking a mouthful of wine.

He really had no interest in banquets or anything like that. All he could feel was bondage.

The banquet was a sociable occasion for the upper class like Li Mengya, and he did not need these things.

"It's not a party, it's a private party. "If you dare to refuse, I'll go and discuss with elder sister."

Li Mengjie pouted in dissatisfaction. There were so many people in the school who wanted to receive her invitation, but Zhang Chao had actually rejected their invitation just like that.

He really didn't know how Zhang Chao, this man who didn't have any gentleman's manners, could capture his sister's thoughts. As expected, flowers were planted on cow dung.

"It's better if you don't bother your sister."

Zhang Chao sighed softly, thinking that he did not have anything important to do recently. Furthermore, he had to ensure Li Mengjie's safety, who knows what might happen during the birthday party.

After coming to this conclusion, he took the invitation card and looked at the location and time.

"The location is on the sports field. Because they are all young students, there aren't that many restrictions."

Li Mengjie smiled. Since she was not Li Mengya, there was no need to hold such a banquet for her birthday. As long as she had a good time, it would be fine.

"Mm, I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll go and take a look. "

Zhang Chao thought about it for a while but still agreed to Li Mengjie's request. He casually received the invitation card and then continued to quickly settle his lunch.

Looking at the two girls who were talking to each other, Zhang Chao shook his head. Why did he feel that he was so old?

"Right, this is yours."

Li Mengjie took out a similar invitation card from her bag and placed it in front of Shen Meng, a faint smile hanging from the corner of her mouth.

Li Mengjie liked this friend of her very much.

"About that, I might not be able to go that day …"

When Shen Meng saw the invitation card, she was slightly startled, but a bit of hesitation appeared in the depths of her eyes, as if there was something hard to say.

When Li Mengjie saw Shen Meng like this, she understood what Shen Meng was worried about.

Shen Meng's family's conditions were ordinary, even the tuition fees were earned from her own work during the holidays.

Although it was a ball held on the playground, there was still some decent attire.

But a dress could be said to be a luxury for Shen Meng.

Li Mengjie had never been someone who made things difficult for others, so she did not say much. She only smiled and told Shen Meng to accept it.

"Zhang Chao, do you have anything to do in the afternoon? If not, why don't you accompany us to shop."

Li Mengjie looked at Zhang Chao with a smile. Since it was a ball the day after tomorrow, she naturally had to buy something.

All the girls wished to become the focus of attention at a birthday party, even the reckless Li Mengjie could not avoid it.

"I don't have anything to do, but do you have any classes in the afternoon?"

Zhang Chao thought about it for a while and felt that he had taken a long vacation. It had been a long time since he had been assigned other tasks.

However, this was also good. He was happy to relax and enjoy the life of a normal person.

"Since there are no classes in the afternoon, it's decided then. After lunch, we'll go shopping."

Li Mengjie happily made her decision, smiled as she looked at Shen Meng, and asked others to come over in the afternoon as accompany him.

Seeing Li Mengjie's passionate look, Shen Meng did not reject him directly.

"Mmm, Wood will be coming over soon as well." "Big handsome brother, today's hard work depends on you."

Li Mengjie looked at Zhang Chao with ill intentions. With this free labour, she naturally would not pitifully carry her own things.

"Understood, First Miss, I will do whatever you say."

Zhang Chao shook his head helplessly. Previously, he had heard his comrades complaining about how painful it was to accompany their wives shopping. He actually wanted to see if it was really as exaggerated as they said.

But the pity was that the first time was not for his wife, but for the little girls, Li Mengjie.

"That's good. Rest assured, when we get home, I'll definitely make sure to speak up for you in front of elder sister!"

Li Mengjie patted Zhang Chao's shoulders in a serious manner, his face filled with an expression that said "you can teach it".

As he nibbled on his dessert while waiting for Su Mu to finish dealing with the matters of the school and come over, it could be seen that Li Mengjie was really looking forward to the afternoon shopping spree.

Looking at Li Mengjie's arrogant appearance, Zhang Chao did not know why, but he suddenly had a bad premonition, he couldn't be tricked by this little girl, right? He did not know if he had enough time to regret it now.
