Chapter 637 Act Like You’re Asking for Help
Zhang Xiao said, "Alright, if I come across something I can’t handle, I’ll find you in Class One during the break."
After a long struggle, he finally added, "About that past incident, I apologize on behalf of my mother and I owe you an apology too."
Having said this, Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, glad to have gotten it out at last, and then smiled, "I won’t keep you any longer, goodbye."
Xiao Ya watched Zhang Xiao walking away quickly, "His true intention isn’t the wine, he’s really quite awkward."
Luo Qiao laughed, "Let’s go; if we go home any later, it’ll be too late."

Luo Tiancheng stood in front of the gate of First City Middle School, watching the students coming out. His eldest daughter, Luo Lan, had told him that Luo Qiao was studying there and that her grades were exceptional. She was a day student and didn’t reside at the school, so he had arrived early to wait for her.
He hadn’t informed his younger brother, Luo Tianming, about seeking out Luo Qiao, as he instinctively didn’t want his brother to know about Luo Qiao’s current circumstances. If it weren’t for his eldest son, Luo Tao, digging up the information, he wouldn’t have known how outstanding Luo Qiao had become.
He thought to himself how foolish his brother was. Had they taken good care of Luo Qiao, they would surely be living in glory by now. Instead, they were witless to the extreme, carelessly sending Luo Qiao away and taking a good-for-nothing troublemaker in her stead.
Yet, as Luo Qiao and Xiao Ya walked past him, he didn’t recognize them at all. In his memory, Luo Qiao was so thin a gust of wind could blow her away.
When the school gates finally closed and he had not seen Luo Qiao, he approached the gatekeeper who was locking up and asked, "Uncle, have all the students left?"
