70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 316: Huo Qingze’s Rejection

After a night’s rest, Xu Mumu was back to full energy, changed into the clothes she had chosen long ago, and then took the professors with her to the Forbidden City by car.

The Forbidden City was also crowded. Yin Yang had been there a few times, so with him as a guide, the group had a great time.

During the holidays, while Xu Mumu and her friends were having fun, Huo Qingze was relatively busy. After the college entrance examination, he could expect a new group for tutoring, so there was a lot of work to prepare.

Huo Qingze was so busy his feet didn’t touch the ground, while Shu Rong kept coming to find him for no reason, annoying him to no end.

"Don’t you have anything to do? Running to me every day?" Huo Qingze’s voice was a bit irritable; he didn’t have time to play with Shu Rong.

"I, cousin, I just wanted to come and see you." Shu Rong’s face turned pale. She could certainly hear the disdain and discontent in Huo Qingze’s words.

"I don’t need it, Shu Rong. I’m just your cousin. Go back, I’m very busy." For the first time, Huo Qingze spoke so directly. Although it was a bit cruel to this girl, if he didn’t say it forthrightly, she’d pretend not to understand. He didn’t want to play around with her anymore.

"Why? What’s wrong with me? I can change, cousin, please don’t drive me away." Shu Rong looked hurt, pitifully looking at Huo Qingze.

"Not liking is not liking. If you don’t leave, I’ll go find my fifth uncle," Huo Qingze said coldly.

"Cousin, whatever you need, I can help you. Why won’t you accept me?" Shu Rong was heartbroken.

"Then what do you say you can do? These days, each time you came, you made things worse, causing me so much trouble. I can’t afford to have you here. You better go back to the Shu family and be the eldest lady. Consider it me begging you, okay? Just don’t appear in front of me anymore," Huo Qingze said with a headache. If it weren’t for all the things that annoyed him, he probably wouldn’t say such harsh words.

But what he said was true. At first, Shu Rong wanted to help, so he arranged some simple tasks for her in order not to be bothered.

But this young lady didn’t know how to do anything and instead made things worse. Tasks that could be completed in two or three days took twice as long because of her.

He had no patience left for this young lady. Now all he wanted was to focus on his career. Relationships were left to fate.

Moreover, this time being pestered by Shu Rong had made him sure that his future partner would definitely not be her.

"I-I just haven’t done these things before, I’m not familiar. Cousin, please give me another chance. I promise to learn well and master everything," Shu Rong pleaded, clinging to her last hope, looking at Huo Qingze expectantly. She had liked him for so many years; how could she easily give up?

"Am I not clear enough? Shu Rong, don’t waste your time on me anymore," Huo Qingze said coolly. He didn’t want to say anything more to Shu Rong and walked away after saying this. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Shu Rong collapsed to the ground. Huo Qingze had rejected her. She had known Huo Qingze since childhood, so she was naturally aware of what kind of person he was. That he could say such words today meant he was extremely impatient—she had no chance at all.

In that moment, Shu Rong started to doubt herself. Did she really do nothing right and always cause trouble for Huo Qingze? Was she really that annoying?

How she made it home, she could no longer remember. After getting home, she locked herself in her room for several days, scaring the Shu family.

That was a later story. After playing at home for a few days, Xu Mumu had no desire to study. Indeed, the more she played, the more she wanted to continue, falling into a slump.

"Why do we have to go back to studying so soon?" Xu Mumu lay on the table, unwilling to move.

"Haven’t had enough fun yet?" Yin Yang said with a smile, pinching Xu Mumu’s cheek. It was so soft, and if her grandparents weren’t around, he would’ve kissed his little girlfriend.

"Not yet." Xu Mumu pouted. Compared to playing around, doing research was way too tiring.

"When we have time, we’ll go play again, okay?" Yin Yang said gently.

"Next time, let’s play somewhere else." Xu Mumu’s eyes shone. When everything was open, and she no longer lacked money, she would take her family to travel the world.

"Whatever you say, anywhere you want to go," Yin Yang said dotingly.

"Playing is not as important as studying, don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense." Professor Song glared at Yin Yang. This young man couldn’t ruin a promising student.

"Grandpa, you have dedicated your whole life to academia. You should take a good rest, maybe go around with us sometimes," Yin Yang said helplessly.

"Nonsense. At a time when the country lacks talents, what we can do is train more talents while we still can," Professor Song slapped the back of Yin Yang’s head.

"I’m not as noble as you guys." Yin Yang chuckled. He just needed to protect the people he cared about.

"You brat, you’re trying to infuriate me." Professor Song felt like he was going to be maddened. Yin Yang had always been smart, learning everything quickly. His grandfather tried to instill patriotic values in him, but he still went astray, which was quite frustrating.

"I’m just telling the truth, as you know," Yin Yang shrugged, unconcerned.

Compared to his grandfather, he had seen the darker sides. Although everything was progressing positively, he had never felt much about patriotism.

"You should speak less," Xu Mumu said helplessly. This guy, really, Professor Song was getting old; he should know how to be more agreeable.

"Mumu is still the best, let’s not listen to Yin Yang," Professor Song glared at Yin Yang. What use is such a grandson? Just knows how to annoy him.

"Alright, I’ll listen to Sir Song," Xu Mumu said with a smile.

After school started, Xu Mumu’s days became busy again. Professor Shen wanted her to come over to do experiments, and he also handed her a pile of books to read.

Though Xu Mumu found it a headache, she still read the books. Luckily, with Yin Yang accompanying her, once she read enough, Yin Yang would remind her to rest. Her boyfriend was just too considerate.

As the holidays approached, Professor Shen’s experiment officially started, and Xu Mumu resumed her familiar role as Professor Shen’s assistant.

Though many were curious about her, there were so many things to do with the experiment, no one really paid her much attention.

Xu Mumu was happy about this; it saved her a lot of trouble.

Professor Shen introduced her to many things. Even though she didn’t often go to Professor Shen’s place, he never gave her any fewer tasks.
