Chapter 171 Poor Country Bumpkin

The bell rang and the classes ended. As the students came out one by one, the campus was not quiet anymore.

Murong Xue saw Mo Zilin come out when she tried to call him. She wanted to greet him, but she then found that he seemed to be chasing a cute girl before him. So she stepped back into the car and left them alone.

"Ling, what's up? Why are you avoiding me recently?" Mo Zilin took a few quick steps and grabbed the girl's hand.

The cute girl was very impatient and got rid of his grip immediately. Frowning, she ordered in a very unfriendly tone, "It's all over between us. Stay out of my life, okay?"

"Why? Everything is fine with us. Did I do something wrong?" Mo Zilin was puzzled. They had been talking about their ambitions and had a very great time. He did not understand why her attitude totally changed and why she was so cold now.

Arms crossed, the girl spoke in a more indifferent tone with a disdainful look, "I was wrong. You were a good-looking man who wore fancy clothes, so I thought you were rich and I could gain face by befriending you. But you do part-time jobs and work as a teaching assistant. It's so humiliating."

"Ling..." Mo Zilin's eyes were wide open and his face was filled with surprise. He never thought that this cute girl turned out to be so vain.

"Don't you look at me like that, you country bumpkin. No girl will go out with you. Get away from me." The girl cursed.

Mo Zilin remained silent and his face was blank. To be honest, he was not very upset that he was wrong about her.

But Murong Xue could not bear to see this. She got off the car and called his name, "Zilin."

Mo Ziwen got off the car after Murong Xue, and the two with the sports car attracted people's attention immediately.

Mo Zilin became happy the moment he saw them. He ran over to Murong Xue and hugged her at once, "Sister Xue, you are back!"

Murong Xue hugged him happily and responded, "Ha-ha, I haven’t seen you for a few days. You are taller now." She touched his head and checked if he was alright. Mo Zilin seemed to be fine.

"Sister Xue, I'm a grown man now, not a child." Mo Zilin teased.

"Once Xue is here, I'm invisible to you?" Mo Ziwen complained that his younger brother completely ignored him.

Hearing this, Mo Zilin turned around, stuck his tongue out, and felt a little embarrassed, "Brother!"

At the same time, the audience around them began to whisper.

"Oh my, isn't he the general manager of Rise Group?"

"Yes, that's him. I've seen his interview."

"The one next to him seems to be the Eldest Miss of the Murong Family!"

"That's her! She has competed for our country internationally."

"..."

The cute girl's face changed when she heard what others talked about. Seeing how Mo Zilin got along with the ones adored by people, she clenched her fists. What was more, Mo Zilin called them "Brother" and "Sister Xue".

After a while, she calmed herself down and came forward with a smiling face, "Zilin, they are your sister and brother?"

Turning around, Mo Zilin was confused about her sudden change. Seeing that she smiled as she had done before, he began to wonder whether she was mental, so he failed to make a quick response.

But Murong Xue's eyes grew cold as she knew the girl's intrigues. Although the girl was too young to perfectly conceal herself, Murong Xue thought that she was able to manipulate Mo Zilin with time.

"Zilin, this is?" Murong Xue asked.

Murong Xue's question cheered up the girl immediately as she eagerly wanted to acquaint herself with the Eldest Miss of the Murong Family. If she had known that Mo Zilin knew Murong Xue, she would have never said those things to him. Now she did not understand why he did part-time jobs as he was already rich and she blamed him for the misunderstanding.

Turning around and taking a look at her, Mo Zilin changed his face. He was no fool and he knew that Ling was vain and what she was planning now, but he would never let her come near Murong Xue who was like a fairy and worshiped by Mo Zilin.

Smiling and proud, the girl was waiting to be introduced as Mo Zilin's girlfriend to them. She did not feel that anything was wrong about what she said just now as Mo Zilin was always gentle and kind to her and never lost his temper, and she firmly believed that he would forgive her as long as she said nice things to him. Then…

"Sister Xue, I don't know her. Just ignore her. By the way, how long will you stay this time?" Mo Zilin only cared about Murong Xue now.

With Mo Zilin's answer, the girl's smile disappeared and her face hardened, eyes wide open, and she did not realize that she raised her voice, "Zilin, why do you..." But she realized her improper reaction soon and quickly calmed down. Having a look at Mo Ziwen and Murong Xue, she spoke in a sad voice, "Zilin, are you angry with me? I didn't mean it just now. There were reasons for that." While excusing herself in a crying tone, she looked like a wronged girl with tears in her eyes, which would mislead people that they were bullying her.

Murong Xue said nothing, only turning to Mo Ziwen. Although she was willing to teach this girl a lesson and uncover her mask, it was better to let Mo Zilin deal with it.

Mo Ziwen felt the same and he did not care about these little tricks at all. He knew his brother, so he was confident that Mo Zilin would solve the problem, especially with his favorite person around.

"Oh, so what did I do wrong to become poor country bumpkin?" Mo Zilin was no more a gentleman now. Even his smile became cold now.

Seeing his look, the girl surprisingly found that Mo Zilin suddenly became charming and attractive. She fixed her eyes on him and her face was rosy red. It was the first time that she had seen this about him since she knew him.

However, she then recalled how she cursed him before and her face paled. She bit her lip and continued in a soft voice, "It's a misunderstanding and I'll explain it to you later." Her begging face was quite appealing.

Standing aside, Murong Xue watched these with relish. She was really impressed by the girl and she believed that this immature girl, once grown-up, could be another Xiao Keli.

Thinking of Xiao Keli, Murong Xue changed her face. A few days ago, the men she sent to watch Xiao Keli reported that Xiao Keli disappeared, which evoked an uneasy feeling inside her. She knew Xiao Keli hated her, so she guessed that the mysterious group in the last life had found Xiao Keli, who would come back and take revenge once she stood firm.

Different from her last life, she would not be so gullible this time and she would expand her influence as soon as possible to confront them.

"No need. Just never show up in my life. So disgusting." Mo Zilin refused coldly, and then he turned to Murong Xue smilingly, "Sister Xue, let's go. Where do you want to go now, home?"

"No. Do you still have classes today? Let's have dinner first." Murong Xue said dotingly and she was assured that Mo Zilin would not fall for that girl again.

After the three got into the car and drove away, the girl was standing still with a twisted smile on her face.

In the car, Murong Xue talked a lot with Mo Zilin and made sure that the incident just now would not influence him. Then she felt relaxed and checked his pulse to examine whether he was fine. The results turned out to be good and he was much stronger than before, which might be the work of the spiritual water.

"Sister Xue, I'm fine, really. I'm feeling good these days, not tired at all. I even signed up for the track and field events. Although I failed to be the champion, I came third. So you don't need to worry about me."

"I know you are amazing, but I heard you are doing part-time jobs. You are too young to work now. Just resign and concentrate on studying, okay?" Murong Xue said while touching his head.

"Sister Xue, I'm an adult now, and part-time jobs won't affect my studying. I rank top in the class each time. So I want to continue my part-time job as I want to be as good as you. I hate to depend on you for everything..." Mo Zilin's voice became weak as he felt smaller in front of Mo Ziwen and Murong Xue. He thought that Murong Xue and Mo Ziwen were so awesome and that he was holding them back. The jobs he did would help achieve his personal fulfillment. Despite menial payments, he was supporting himself through his own hard work.

Murong Xue did not expect his answer, so she was surprised. Then she smiled at him, "Zilin is grown-up. I found you very reliable now. You can do it if you like, but you have to take good care of yourself." Murong Xue felt that she was acting like his mother, but she was quite pleased. Mo Zilin had been very sensitive and had been living with caution before, which made her feel distressed.
