Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 173

Chapter 173: The Ingenious Plan of Fengwu

***

“Ye Han?” After hearing this name, Xu Fengwu frowned instinctively, but when she came to her senses, she realized she didn’t know why she had such a reflexive reaction.

She had never heard this name before, but this name made her feel somewhat… uneasy.

“Yes, I heard that the eldest daughter of the Ye family, Ye Xue, also went to Ruoming’s place,” Chu Suhe continued, “I really don’t understand. I heard from Qingxuan that their families are very wealthy, much richer than Ruoming, so why would they go to work?”

After hearing another unfamiliar name, Xu Fengwu shook her head and gave up the idea of continuing to probe for information.

Perhaps their families had business cooperation plans with Ruoming. After all, from Chu Suhe’s words, it wasn’t hard to tell that these two sisters were from prominent families. Xu Fengwu knew that even her family background was far from people of this level, and these people’s romantic relationships were all about matching social status, so they definitely wouldn’t have that kind of development with Xia Ruoming.

Even if they did, it wouldn’t be now.

“Never mind, I was just asking casually. I don’t know either of them at all, but thank you anyway, Susu.”

“It’s- it’s nothing. I’m just glad if I could help you, Fengwu.” Chu Suhe also showed her usual gentle smile, speaking softly to Xu Fengwu. Although her words still carried that timid flavor, you could hear that she was trying hard to speak to Xu Fengwu in a more friendly tone.

While they were chatting, the phone on her lap suddenly ran out of battery and shut down automatically.

Looking at the automatically shut-down phone, and thinking about Chu Suhe’s slightly expectant look when mentioning Xia Ruoming’s video earlier, Xu Fengwu’s eyes unconsciously shifted, and then “an ingenious plan” naturally popped up in her mind.

“By the way, Susu, could you lend me your phone? My phone is out of battery, and it’s not very convenient to charge it now. Could I use your phone? I’ll return it to you later, okay~” Xu Fengwu said to Chu Suhe, pretending to “act cute.”

“Ah… o-okay, Fengwu, there’s no need to rush… you can return it whenever you want…” Chu Suhe searched in her bag for a while and took out a phone that looked like an old-style mobile phone, placing it in front of Xu Fengwu.

Xu Fengwu was also stunned for a moment. Although she had heard Chu Suhe say she didn’t have a smartphone, Chu Suhe rarely used her phone, so she had never seen what Chu Suhe’s phone actually looked like.

She hadn’t seen such an old-style phone for a long time, even more outdated than those 100-200 yuan knockoff phones.

“Thank you, Susu~ I need to contact someone and go out for a while. Could you help me take my bag back? Susu, just use my meal card to have a good meal, consider it my payment to you~” After taking the phone, Xu Fengwu stood up and said a stream of words to Chu Suhe, “I might come back late today, so Susu doesn’t need to wait for me~”

Communicating with Chu Suhe was really difficult for her. Even though it was just friends treating each other to meals, at first Chu Suhe would occasionally accept once or twice, but later she would make all sorts of excuses. It got to the point where she had to find something for Chu Suhe to help with every time, and then treat her to a meal, only then would Chu Suhe feel at ease accepting her things.

“O-okay. Um… Fengwu, be careful when going out alone…” Chu Suhe picked up Xu Fengwu’s backpack and reminded her softly.

“Don’t worry, Susu, I’m not a child anymore.” Xu Fengwu said while running away.

“But… I’m not worried about that kind of danger, I’m just afraid you’ll get harassed again, and you’ll just coldly tell them to get lost, which will only make those trash more interested…” Chu Suhe said quietly, but unfortunately, Xu Fengwu had already run far away, and only herself could hear it.

…

…

After leaving school, Xu Fengwu randomly found a roadside cafe, ordered a coffee, sat down, and used the phone’s notepad to record the contacts in Chu Suhe’s phone… although there weren’t many.

There were only Chu Yu, He Ya, Luo Qingxuan, Xia Ruoming, and her phone numbers.

Looking at the numbers in Chu Suhe’s phone book, Xu Fengwu couldn’t help but laugh. Chu Suhe’s social circle was really small, just five people in total, one was her mother, and the other four were high school classmates whom she hadn’t known for long.

After recording the phone numbers, Xu Fengwu “accidentally” dropped Chu Suhe’s phone on the floor with a slip of her hand. Finding that the phone wasn’t broken, she pretended to slip again and directly stepped on the phone, then added two more forceful steps. Under the bewildered gaze of the waiter, Xu Fengwu took a photo, then calmly picked up the phone, took out the SIM card, and sent it to where it belonged, in the garbage bin.

“Uh, miss, was that on purpose?” The confused waiter held back for a long time but finally asked his question.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Which eye of yours saw that I did it on purpose? This was an accident.” Xu Fengwu gave the waiter a cold look and said indifferently.

After finishing everything, Xu Fengwu called a taxi and went directly to the electronics counter at the nearest shopping mall.

“Help me pick a high-performance phone, expensive and good. But it shouldn’t look too high-end, the appearance should be rather ordinary.” Standing at the counter, Xu Fengwu said to the sales assistant.

“Huh…?” The sales assistant was confused for a moment. How could someone make such a request? These expensive phones usually have quite striking designs, after all, if someone spends so much money on your phone, they should at least be able to show it off. No phone manufacturer would be bored enough to do this, so how could someone be bored enough to choose an expensive phone with a plain appearance?

“I said, help me pick a phone with good performance but unremarkable appearance, can you?” Xu Fengwu thought her voice was too low and the clerk hadn’t heard clearly, so she repeated it louder.

“O-okay…” The clerk was sweating, she had never heard such a request in her life, and suspected for a moment that this beautiful young lady was deliberately causing trouble.

After frowning and looking for a while, the clerk suddenly remembered this year’s slow-selling new product and finally brought out a phone, the silly-rich-people’s Samsung Galaxy S5 plus. The Samsung Galaxy S5’s sales weren’t great to begin with, and Samsung still released a plus version of the Samsung Galaxy S5.

This thing’s appearance could be considered shockingly ugly among Samsung phones, looking like a domestic knockoff at first glance. In Samsung’s appearance poll, it only received 135 votes, barely beating the Samsung Galaxy S1, but in terms of performance and price, it was absolutely uncompromising, just perfect for this strange young lady’s requirements.

As long as she wasn’t just here to make fun of them.
