Huo Beichen became a little angry: "No one with unclean hands and feet should be left in the house."
Ning Meng dropped her shoulders weakly.
She felt that no matter how bad a student was, he would never steal or rob, but she obviously still had a high regard for human nature.
Zhang Keke stole Huo Beichen's money in order not to be beaten again?
She sighed.
Huo Beichen was too lazy to call the police because of five hundred yuan, but he still took a deep look at Ning Meng before walking out.
Ning Meng hurriedly picked up her schoolbag, changed her shoes and followed him, asking, "Is there anything else missing?"
Huo Beichen glanced at her: "There is a bottle of red wine missing."
wine?
Ning Meng swallowed: "What year was it and how much was it?"
"It's 85 years old, not expensive."
Hearing the word "inexpensive", Ning Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard him continue: "It's only tens of thousands. Fortunately, I didn't take the bottle of 1978."
Ning Meng: “…………”
This time, she could hear the irony in Huo Beichen's words.
She was like a primary school student who had done something wrong. She lowered her head and felt uncomfortable no matter what she thought.
Seeing her dejected look, Huo Beichen snorted, put his hands in his pockets, and walked forward lazily.
The two people arrived at the school and found Zhang Keke in their seats.
Seeing the two of them, Zhang Keke timidly said hello: "Sister."
Ning Meng looked at her, not knowing what to say. Instead, she felt a sense of embarrassment. It was as if she was the one who stole the money and wine... She glanced at Huo Beichen, and Huo Beichen gave her a look with obvious meaning.
: She must have thought that the two of them didn't notice the lack of money.
After all, Huo Beichen has several thousand cash in his wallet, and it would not be easy to find out if five hundred is missing. The red wine is also in the wine cabinet, and whoever has nothing to do will go over and count it.
Thinking of this, Ning Meng couldn't help but glance at Huo Beichen. Why was this guy counting money so early in the morning? Forget about counting money, why did he go to the wine cabinet to count it?
Then there is only one possibility.
He heard a voice or saw something strange about Zhang Keke.
Ning Meng suddenly felt a sense of warmth in her heart.
Five hundred yuan and a bottle of red wine were not something he cared about, but after getting in touch with them during this time, Ning Meng discovered that Huo Beichen was not a person who spent money randomly.
If it had been anyone else, he would have grabbed the bag on the spot and called the police. After all, that bottle of red wine was quite expensive.
But he didn't catch Zhang Keke.
He had always disliked Zhang Keke, and he had never said more than ten words to her in total, so he didn't expose her for Zhang Keke's sake, but for his own.
This guy, although he still looks so arrogant, is actually very considerate and very good at taking care of people's emotions.
Ning Meng thought of this and sighed silently.
She nodded to Zhang Keke and sat next to Huo Beichen.
Zhang Keke seemed a little uneasy, squirming back and forth during class. From time to time, she turned around and glanced at Ning Meng secretly, and then turned back again.
At noon, she seemed to feel relieved when she saw that Ning Meng didn't do anything.
When the bell rang for the fourth period in the morning, she came over and said, "Sister, I want to treat you to dinner at noon today."
Ning Meng has a meal.
She glanced at Huo Beichen.
Huo Beichen sneered, ignored her, lazily stood up and followed Su Ye out of the classroom.
Ning Meng simply remained silent and said, "Okay."
No matter what, after spending half a month together, I have developed some feelings for Zhang Keke. Let’s make it clear during lunch today.
The two of them went downstairs, and Ning Meng asked: "Where to eat?"
Zhang Keke spoke: "Don't you like barbecue? I'll treat you to barbecue."
"You invite me?"
Ning Meng was stunned.
Zhang Keke nodded, "Well, I'll invite my sister."
She reached out and grabbed Ning Meng's arm: "Actually, my father was released two days ago."
Ning Meng has a meal.
Zhang Keke spoke again: "The police are still very powerful. My father already knew that he was wrong. After he came out, he gave me five hundred yuan and asked me to treat you to a meal."
Ning Meng:??
She looked at Zhang Keke with a bit of disbelief in her eyes.
But she still didn't expose Zhang Keke's disguise. She nodded: "Really?"
Zhang Kexiao: "Yes, dad said that he will never hit me again in the future."
After saying this, she lowered her head: "He will never hit me again. He promised me, so I won't go back to the villa tonight."
Ning Meng nodded.
The two of them came to the self-service barbecue restaurant. There were not many people in line, so they quickly got a seat. After the two of them entered, Zhang Keke went to bring a lot of meat.
Pork belly, tenderloin, and all kinds of meat are available.
Zhang Keke smiled and roasted the meat for Ning Meng and gave it to her: "Sister, you can eat it."
After Ning Meng took a few bites, he looked at her: "Why don't you eat?"
Zhang Keke stared at her, "I'm not hungry yet."
After finishing speaking, she took a sip of the free drink next to her, then looked around, and suddenly said: "When my mother was still here, she wanted to take me here to eat barbecue several times."
Ning Meng has a meal.
Zhang Keke said with a smile: "Unfortunately, my father was very strict, so he took all the money we had at home, so we didn't eat it."
After she finished speaking, she stuffed a piece of pork belly into her mouth with an exclamation look in her eyes: "It's so delicious!"
Ning Meng still didn't speak, but took the iron chopsticks from Zhang Keke's hand and continued to grill the meat.
Zhang Keke's mouth was full of oil. Recently, she lived with Ning Meng. Her little face finally had a smile and a little bit of flesh. At this moment, her cute eyes looked at her, "Sister, thank you for taking care of me during this time.
"
Ning Meng said nothing.
The two of them had a very full meal. After finishing the meal, Zhang Keke walked in front like a satisfied child. She was jumping up and down, looking very happy.
She looked back at Ning Meng and sighed, "Today is my happiest day!"
During class in the afternoon, Ning Meng noticed that Zhang Keke seemed to have changed.
She seemed to have finally broken free from some restraints. When the teacher asked questions in class, the person who usually wanted to lower her head to the table actually raised her hands in confusion.
The teacher also seemed surprised. He called her name and asked her to read an English text.
Zhang Keke stumbled while reading, but she read it very seriously. After finishing reading, she sat down with her face flushed with embarrassment, but it could be seen that she read very happily.
Soon, when school was over, Zhang Keke hugged her schoolbag and greeted Ning Meng: "Sister, I'm leaving first."
Ning Meng nodded.
Zhang Keke walked out and when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned back, looked at Ning Meng and bowed deeply.
