Chapter 1079: Chapter 1080: Unpopular Real Daughter 23

When school started on the fifth day, Zhang Yu was not surprised to hear everyone complaining about the teachers.

“I swear I’ve been working since the first day of the holiday until yesterday.”

“At least you got it done. I haven’t even completed it.”

Before the homeroom teacher arrived, some students were still scribbling away, “The amount of homework is just too much.”

“Yeah, during the Spring Festival, I didn’t even dare to visit relatives.”

“Even during the New Year’s Eve dinner, I was trying so hard to work.”

Of course, they also asked Zhang Yu and her friend if they finished their homework. Chu Yun wasn’t foolish enough to say it was completed by New Year’s Eve; saying that would definitely invite trouble.

Chu Yun just listened to what her classmates said, aware that some completed it just yesterday.

But there were also those who finished before the holiday. If she could complete it, why wouldn’t those who were serious and hardworking?

Everyone’s an old fox. Chu Yun chatted about how she rushed through her homework during the holiday, leaving it up to others whether to believe her or not, as long as they did, that was fine.

“Only a little over four months until the college entrance exams,” someone lamented.

Once that was said, the previously wailing classroom fell silent, “Yeah, I’m actually hoping the exams come sooner.”

“Exactly, we’re taking them eventually, might as well do it sooner and get some relief.”

“Now, I even dream of being in the exam room.”

“I dream of doing homework nonstop.”

Everyone thought having the exams sooner would be good, at least they wouldn’t be as miserable as they were now.

“At least I wouldn’t have to skip family visits during the holidays.”

For them as students, the anticipation for the Spring Festival was mainly about delicious food and receiving lucky money.

“So, Zhang Yu, how was your Spring Festival?” someone curiously asked Zhang Yu.

“I went out for the Spring Festival,” Zhang Yu said blandly, “Being home alone was boring.”

Went out for the New Year? Many present didn’t believe it. Going out requires money. Her parents left her some money, but how long could it last?

Some remembered the time when the Song Family steward came to recognize her, “Zhang Yu, did you go back to the Song Family?”

Feng Lina snorted, “Go back for what?”

“During the New Year, I went with my parents to visit the Song Family Ancestral Home, and I didn’t see her.”

Zhang Yu was incredibly thankful for Feng Lina’s explanation, “Right, I didn’t go back.”

No one actually thought that Zhang Yu wouldn’t go back; it was unbelievable, “Why didn’t you, why didn’t you go back?”

“They don’t recognize Zhang Yu,” Feng Lina chimed in again, full of disdain for Zhang Yu.

“Right, right, right,” Zhang Yu fully agreed, “I have nothing to do with the Song Family.”

“So, please don’t associate me with the Song Family.”

“After all, they’re a Wealthy Family, and I’m just an ordinary person. If word got out, many would laugh at me and think I’m crazy for money, wanting to associate with the Song Family.”

“Even if I’m poor, I still have my pride.”

Zhang Yu sincerely asked everyone, “If I was clinging to the Song Family, crying and fussing to get back, then I’d accept what you’re saying.”

“But I’m not that kind of person. I just want to live quietly, so thank you all.”

Feng Lina didn’t want to see Zhang Yu feeling smug; actually, when she visited the Song Family during the New Year, she learned that Old Master Song insisted on Zhang Yu returning.

Although Old Master Song wasn’t the head of the Song Family, the Members of the Song Family couldn’t ignore his words.

Feng Lina was genuinely worried that if Zhang Yu returned to the Song Family, what would happen to her and the Feng’s house?

Feng Lina knew she had targeted Zhang Yu a lot, and once she returned, wouldn’t she seek revenge?

The Feng’s house wasn’t an important partner of the Song Family but instead begged the Song Family for orders. If they lost the Song Family’s orders, whether their own company could survive was a big question mark.

Watching Zhang Yu’s attitude now, Feng Lina wanted to provoke Zhang Yu into vowing not to return to the Song Family, but she didn’t know how to say it.

She wasn’t worried about what Zhang Yu would do, she was worried that if Song Weikang found out, she would be in trouble too.

Even someone as slow as Chu Yun noticed that Feng Lina was targeting Zhang Yu, “Why is she picking on you?”

“It’s normal, she targeted me a lot before. At that time, she was Miss Feng of the Feng’s house, and I was just a commoner, we couldn’t be compared.”

“But if I return to the Song Family, I’d be Miss Song of the Song Family. Even if not favored by them, I’d still be Miss Song.”

“The Members of the Song Family care about face, and if they knew how little respect Feng Lina showed me, wouldn’t they be angry?”

“Once they get angry and stop cooperating with the Feng’s house, her little factory would be in trouble.”

Zhang Yu could guess why Feng Lina didn’t want her to return to the Song Family—she was afraid of losing the Song Family orders.

Actually, Zhang Yu thought Feng Lina was worrying too much; she wouldn’t stop the cooperation between the Feng’s house and the Song Family.

If possible, she’d hope they could have more multi-layered collaborations.

If the Feng’s house wanted to cooperate more with the Song Family, they should do more, thoroughly tie themselves to the Song Family’s carriage.

If something went wrong with the Song Family, could the Feng’s house still have good results?

After hearing this, Chu Yun was really angry, “How could she act this way?”

“Whether or not you want to go back is your own business; she can’t manipulate like this.”

Chu Yun understood Zhang Yu’s attitude, knowing she was completely against returning to the Song Family.

But this wasn’t something for Feng Lina to manipulate, and it angered Chu Yun.

Zhang Yu held Chu Yun back from confronting Feng Lina, “Don’t bother with her.”

“In any case, I don’t want to go back.”

“Let her provoke if she wants to.”

Since the Song Family ignored her and didn’t want her to return, they definitely agreed with Feng Lina’s actions and would give her more orders.

But once the Song Family was in dire straits and hoped Zhang Yu could return to save the day, remembering Feng Lina’s behavior, they would think it was she who delayed the Song Family’s future.

For a family that wasn’t a top Wealthy Family, or even a Wealthy Family, dealing with the Feng’s house was not difficult.

Chu Yun couldn’t understand why Zhang Yu handled it this way, but from past experiences, she knew never to question Zhang Yu, who always had a well-thought-out plan.

In the following days, Zhang Yu could feel someone tailing her, but it was simple tracking, nothing more.

As long as there was no threat, Zhang Yu was too lazy to respond.

She could guess that those following her were either Song Weikang’s people or Song Shijian’s people.

Of course, it could also be other people from the Song Family, but Zhang Yu was too lazy to think about it, as it was too brain-consuming.

With someone following her, at least her safety was guaranteed.

Anyway, Zhang Yu was either at school or home every day. On weekends, she’d go shopping at the market, emphasizing a down-to-earth lifestyle.

Those looking for Zhang Yu were either her classmates or her classmates’ parents, with no one else.
