“What did you say? Go to your house?” Shen Zhaozhao looked at Zhou Huaiyu in surprise.
“Yeah, it’s almost New Year’s Day, and we have a holiday, so I’m planning to throw a party at home and invite our classmates over.”
His math had improved so much this time that if he suggested hosting his classmates at home, his parents would definitely agree.
“So many people, won’t it be inconvenient?”
“There’s no inconvenience, we’ll just have the servants prepare more food, and we can also have a barbecue in the yard. What do you like to eat? King crab, mini Australian lobsters? Snowflake beef steak, I can have it all arranged.”
Shen Zhaozhao’s shamefully heart was moved.
However, she had already planned to go home for New Year’s Day, so she could only painfully decline.

On the morning of New Year’s Day, Shen Zhaozhao was packing her things, getting ready to leave, when suddenly a message popped up in the family WeChat group.
Shen Zhaozhao clicked on it and found a photo of her mom and dad holding plane tickets at the airport.
Shen Zhaozhao thought it was telepathy, that her parents were coming to Jing City to see her, but her heart sank when she saw the destination on the plane tickets.
It turned out they only begrudged buying her a high-speed rail ticket to send her to school in Jing City but took the opportunity to fly off on a vacation while she was away from home.
Shen Zhaozhao was about to send a message to question them, but the next second, she saw the photo was retracted, and her dad added in a cover-up: [Sent it by mistake!]
Shen Zhaozhao: …
If she hadn’t been quick, she would have believed it.
Shen Zhaozhao, with a face full of grievance, opened Zhou Huaiyu’s WeChat: [What if I say I want to go to your barbecue now, is it still possible?]
The Most Handsome Guy in Jiu Middle School: [Of course it’s possible, I’ll personally come out to greet you in a bit.]
“Are you all packed?”
Sheng Chuyi came over to knock on the door and saw her putting her belongings back in the suitcase one by one, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: “What’s wrong?”
Shen Zhaozhao spoke angrily: “My parents went on a trip! Hmph, they don’t miss me, so I don’t want to miss them either. Let’s go out and have fun!”
The two of them took a taxi to the Zhou Family’s house.
In addition to a few of them, Zhou Huaiyu had also invited other classmates from the class.
“This is your house? It’s so luxurious!” Before, she thought that the Sheng Family’s villa was already big, but the Zhou Family’s was more than twice the size of the Sheng Family’s, just the courtyard at the entrance was hundreds of square meters.
This was Jing City, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, and such a villa could cost several hundred million, right?
Shen Zhaozhao once again gained a new understanding of her own poverty.
Zhou Huaiyu pointed to the big villa behind him and said to her: “That’s right, this is my house. Do you want me to show you around?”
“Sure!” Shen Zhaozhao nodded without hesitation, as even just satisfying her curiosity would be nice.
No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard a sneering sound from beside her: “Typical of someone from a small place, looking like they’ve never seen the world.”
Shen Zhaozhao turned to look at Zhou Huai’an and said: “Is this the kind of quality you rich people have?” Isn’t it said that Jiu Middle School has a 95% admission rate to top-tier universities? Shouldn’t they all be smart? Why does she feel like she’s running into a bunch of brain-dead eccentrics?
And aren’t rich people supposed to care a lot about manners? Why is it that everyone she meets is so rude?
Zhou Huai’an glanced at the girl who had spoken and loudly said: “Of course not, real rich people are very humble and low-key. We’re nothing like that. Only foolish people with shallow experiences, who like to seek attention, would show off their money and status.”
Shen Zhaozhao: “I get it, it’s what’s known as the nouveau riche mentality.”
Zhou Huai’an: …
There was no need to put it quite so bluntly, though.
