  Watching Jiang Xue's car leave, Su Mei couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt.

  In her eyes, Jiang Xu was undoubtedly a kind-hearted young man. Even though he knew it was a scam, he still gave her some money and even advised her not to commit crimes with Zou Dazhu again.

  Such a kind-hearted young person is rarely seen in today's society.

  After waiting for Jiang Xu's car to drive away, Su Mei finally withdrew her gaze and thought for a moment before asking Zou Rong: "Daughter, do you know this little brother?"

  Sumi wanted to make things clear, and she couldn't bear to let her daughter misunderstand such a kind-hearted young man.

  "Mom, don't mention him again, I don't have such a classmate." Zou Rong responded coldly.

  She was so angry because she knew Jiang Xu liked racing, and she instinctively thought that Jiang Xu must have crashed into her father's car because he was driving too fast, which is also why she was so furious.

  Su Mei did not expect that Jiang Xu and her own daughter would be classmates, she had to explain: "Daughter, this matter is actually my fault and your father's, you misunderstood him."

  "Mom, what did you say?" Zou Rong's face was puzzled.

  Sumi didn't hide anything either, and told the whole story from start to finish. After all, it was a reluctant matter, and in the end, Sumi felt embarrassed to continue speaking in front of her daughter.

  After listening to her mother's explanation, Zou Rong finally realized that she had wrongly blamed Jiang Xu.

  It's just that she couldn't believe in her heart that Jiang Xu, this extremely annoying young master, could possibly do something so kind-hearted, which was almost completely opposite to the impression she had of him.

  This made Zou Rong think of the scene this morning, as if Jiang Xu had completely changed since being rejected by her yesterday.

  "Should I go and apologize to him?"

  Zou Rong was very disgusted with Jiang Xu, this kind of rich second-generation son, but after all, it was her fault, and if she didn't apologize, it seemed like she couldn't talk her way out of it.

  This made her very entangled, thinking that her parents had actually done such a foolish thing. Zou Rong couldn't help but say: "Dad, Mom, how can you be so foolish? Can we cheat with this kind of money? If Dad accidentally really gets hurt, what will happen in the future?"

  Sumi also didn't want to, but she really had no choice. She sighed and said: "Daughter, Mom has no choice either. Your brother is already like that, are we just going to watch him die?"

  Zou Dazhu on the ground also helplessly sighed, he was originally a honest man, if not being forced too urgently, how could he possibly do such things.

  Zou Rong has an older brother three years her senior named Zou Xiaohai.

  Zou Xiaohai has been quite wild since he was a kid, after graduating from junior high school, he mixed with people in society, and in recent years, it has become more and more severe, collecting protection fees, intimidating and so on, almost becoming a thorough rogue.

  Just a while ago, Zou Xiaohai got addicted to drugs. In order to take drugs, Zou Xiaohai's behavior became more and more outrageous, stealing money and robbing people. Finally, he even borrowed a large sum of money from Gao Ge, who was lending money at high interest rates.

  Because he had no money to repay, Zou Xiaohai was taken away by Gao Ge. Moreover, Gao Ge threatened that if the Zou family couldn't pay back this sum of money, they would have to collect Zou Xiaohai's dead body.

  The Zou family was originally very poor, how could they possibly afford those high-interest loans.

  However, Zou Dazhu and his wife couldn't just watch their only son die, so in the end they had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure, and as a result, they ran into Jiang Xu first.

  Listening to her mother talk about her brother's affairs, Zou Rong also fell silent, her beautiful eyes turned red, and tears fell one by one.

  ▂▂▂▂▂▂

  Zou Rong is after all a kind-hearted girl, although she has a strong dislike for Jiang Xu this kind of rich second-generation boy, but she still decides to say sorry to him.

  In the afternoon, Zou Rong came to school ahead of time from home. She was too embarrassed to go to Class 9 to find Jiang Xu, so she waited at the school gate.

  Around two o'clock, Jiang Xu's vehicle finally appeared in front of Zou Rong. Then, she saw Jiang Xu walking over with a large pile of books in his arms and a big backpack on his back, looking almost like a bookworm.

  Zou Rong couldn't help but rub her eyes, this contrast was too big, she almost couldn't believe her own eyes.

  "Has he really changed?"

  This thought rose again in Zou Rong's heart, but Jiang Xu's impression on her had been too bad in the past, and she still maintained great skepticism.

  However, Zou Rong still took the initiative to walk in front of Jiang Xu and said very seriously: "Jiang Xu, I'm sorry, it was my misunderstanding at noon, I apologize to you."

  As she spoke, Zou Rong handed the two thousand yuan she had picked up to Jiang Xu, money that she absolutely could not accept.

  Jiang Xu did not expect Zou Rong to come and apologize to him on her own initiative. He wouldn't have even bothered with such a trivial matter, and he didn't take the money back. With a faint smile, he said: "I accept your apology, but I never thought of taking back what I've given out."

  Jiang Xu knew that Zou Rong's family must be in urgent need of money and would not actually take the money back.

  "No way, I absolutely cannot accept this money." Zou Rong shook her head firmly. This kind of money that was obtained by compromising her conscience, she would never use no matter what.

  "I won't take the money anyway, so you might as well throw it away."

  Zou Rong was getting anxious, her lips tightly pursed. She couldn't possibly throw away this money; she had to return it to Jiang Xu.

  Looking at Zou Rong's anxious appearance, Jiang Xu's heart suddenly moved, and he said: "Zou Rong, I won't take back this money. If you want to repay it, do it in another way."

  "Not allowed."

  Zou Rong refused Jiang Xu without hesitation, and her beautiful eyes were filled with vigilance and anger.

  And the little good impression she had accumulated in her heart was instantly collapsed at this moment, and in her eyes, Jiang Xu had already completely revealed his true face, everything changed was just a deception.

  Jiang Xu knew that Zou Rong must have misunderstood him, thinking he was going to make some unreasonable demands. He couldn't help but laugh and say: "Zou Rong, don't you want to hear me out?"

  "You speak, I listen."

  Zou Rong looked at Jiang Xu coldly, she actually wanted to see what shameless demands Jiang Xu would make.

  "I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to ask you to be my tutor. If you're not willing, then consider the money as a loan from me, with one percent interest per month, and you can pay me back after you start working in the future."

  Jiang Xu didn't want to force Zou Rong, and gave Zou Rong two choices. The interest money was naturally not something Jiang Xu would care about; he did this just so that Zou Rong wouldn't have too much psychological burden.

  After listening to Jiang Xiu finish speaking, Zou Rong's delicate and pretty face clearly turned slightly red, and her expression also showed a few more parts of embarrassment.

  Zou Rong found that she seemed to have misunderstood Jiang Xu again, and Jiang Xu's words and eyes were very calm, his smile was also very sincere, completely gone was the previous frivolous and flirtatious look.

  After some thought, Zou Rong had already made up her mind: "Jiang Xu, are you really going to ask for a tutor?"

  Zou Rong knew that her family needed money now, and she couldn't take the money with a guilty conscience, but if it was earned through her own efforts, she could still accept it in her heart.

  "Hmm." Jiang Xu nodded slightly.

  "I can be your tutor, but I have one condition."

  Zou Rong's tone was slightly hesitant, and after glancing at Jiang Xu, he continued: "The location of the tutoring will be decided by me. Also, I won't agree to any requests from you except for studying. How about it?"

  Zou Rongke didn't dare to go to Jiang Xu's home, after all she still didn't trust Jiang Xu, and the objects of her home tutoring were usually girls.

  "This is no problem at all, I can promise you."

  Jiang Xu responded very readily, and he was also very delighted in his heart, because this was equivalent to bringing him and Zou Rong's relationship much closer.

  As time went by, he believed that Zou Rong would definitely see his change.

  Zou Rong then said: "I usually work part-time as a tutor for 15 yuan an hour, the minimum is 12 yuan."

  After all, she is just a high school student, and the hourly wage for part-time tutoring is still relatively low. However, even so, she can still earn around 1,000 yuan per month, which is of great help to her family.

  "Then it's one hour and fifteen minutes, all the way until the end of the college entrance exam. If I can get into university, then the remaining money will be your reward." Jiang Xu said, he had no intention of paying Zhou Rong extra money, even if he did ask for more, Zhou Rong wouldn't accept it.

  "Alright, it's settled then."

  Jiang Xu's academic performance was among the bottom three in his entire high school class, and Zou Rong didn't think Jiang Xu could get into college through his own efforts, so she agreed without hesitation.
