Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 528: The Fiery Showdown of Punching Door Frames and Smashing Tables

Sit up from the coffin?Huo Zhen’s lips twitched at Xiao Bailu’s words.

This woman speaks as sharply and boldly as she did back then, like a feisty little pepper.

But she happens to have the face of a classical beauty; when she doesn’t speak, she looks just like a noble concubine or Empress stepping out of a Tang Dynasty painting, truly contradictory.

Huo Zhen pressed his lips and retorted, "Three years have passed. If he was still alive, do you think he wouldn’t have come to see you?"

Xiao Bailu snorted and lifted her chin, "Who knows what that pervert is thinking? I clearly heard that recently he’s been active online, even stooping to fix a firewall bug for a little broke company under the Si Family. That dog of a man, he has time for such trivial things but no time to see me?"

Huo Zhen: "...That’s not him."

He really found it hard to explain.

He knew who helped Mrs. Hu Yi’s company through its crisis, even if others didn’t.

It was Sister Xin who agreed to help, Sister Xin found someone to do it.

As for why they used Huo Tingzun’s name...because Sister Xin once asked him if she could borrow his brother’s name, he said his brother was dead, so use it however you want.

At that time, he never thought this casual act would impact Xiao Bailu.

After all, he hadn’t seen Xiao Bailu for three years either.

He thought Xiao Bailu and Huo Tingzun both disappeared from this world.

Reflecting on the events of three years ago now feels vague and distant, like lightning and rain.

If those accidents hadn’t happened, he might be calling Xiao Bailu, sister-in-law now.

Seeing Huo Zhen not seeming to hide anything, she released his hand and spoke as if issuing a decree: "If he’s still alive, you tell me immediately. I’ve returned to the law school to continue studying, you should know where the law school is."

Then, she squinted her eyes: "If I find out you’re hiding the whereabouts of that dog of a man...Little Zhenzhen, you know Sister Lu’s temper isn’t very good..."

Her released hand slammed the doorframe beside Huo Zhen, causing it to shiver instantly.

Huo Zhen froze on the spot.

Watching Xiao Bailu walk away proudly, his gaze was complex.

"Huo Zhen, finished the exam?"

Qin Xin’s calm and faint voice entered his ears.

Only then did Huo Zhen come to his senses.

Looking at Qin Xin’s cool and composed face, he thought of Xiao Bailu’s alluring and bold face from before, Huo Zhen swallowed hard.

Although Xiao Bailu pounding the doorframe was quite intimidating, he still preferred Sister Xin’s quiet yet authoritative table-slamming.

"Yeah, there was a major question I couldn’t solve, so I left it blank." He answered honestly.

Qin Xin raised her hand and ruffled his hair: "It’s okay. You missed the exam over at the Medical College, there’s another one this afternoon, go take it. Tomorrow and the day after, see what school you’re interested in, go try them out."

Huo Zhen: "Okay!"

He hesitated a bit, then couldn’t help but softly say, "Sister Xin, can I suggest something?"

Qin Xin smiled: "Go ahead."

Huo Zhen: "Could you...pat somewhere else?"

Although being patted on the head by Sister Xin felt nice, it seemed like she was petting a small animal or a little brother.

He didn’t want to be seen as her little brother.

Qin Xin’s hand paused.

She curled her lips: "Alright."

Then, she patted him on the shoulder: "I forgot our Little Zhenzhen is a grown guy now."

"Sister Xin, I also want a pat, for comfort!"

Hu Yi, coming out of the exam room, saw this scene and shouted indignantly.

This contender number three just handed his paper in a few minutes early and now he’s here, getting a head start on acting cute and flirty with Sister Xin.

Hmph, sneaky!
