Chapter 928: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Who’s Afraid of Who (13)
Besides, she was actually very concerned about her grandfather. Although she was not particularly close to her grandfather and did not visit the Xu family often, he was still her grandfather.
Moreover, her name had the word ” Yue ” in it because her birthday was on the 10th of October. The 10th of October of the year she was born happened to be the full moon night of the 15th of the 8th month of the lunar calendar, so her grandfather took the initiative to name her Zuo Yue.
At that time, her grandfather did not agree to let her call her by this name. He even said that the name her grandfather gave her was so tacky that he would not agree to it no matter what.
In the end, the two old men still had the same opinion.
Because the word ‘month’ on the fifteenth day of August meant that the elderly hoped that her life would be full.
That was why she was called Left Moon.
*****
Two days later-
What?!!!
Were the two cards in her hands really frozen?
Zuo Yue walked out of the bank near the school with a muddle-headed face. She looked at the two gold cards in her hands that usually had a fixed amount of living expenses. Her face was full of question marks.
Didn’t her mother say that she would freeze if she didn’t listen to her? She was already so obedient, yet he still froze her card?
Was he really going to make her obediently follow Xu Chengfeng and be completely restricted by that man?
If she really wanted money from Xu Chengfeng…
Just thinking about that scene sent shivers down his spine.
Zuo Yue reached into her wallet and felt for the few remaining banknotes. According to her daily expenses, this money was enough for a week at most. If she saved a little more, if she ate instant noodles every day and did not buy anything randomly, she could probably spend more than half a month.
Oh my god, although she had been restricted from spending money recklessly since she was young, at least she had a good life and didn’t need to spend anything special. Now that her card was suddenly frozen and she was in a foreign land, was her mother forcing her to become a beggar?
Zuo Yue sat on the marble steps opposite the bank with a sad expression. She held her chin with one hand and looked at the pedestrians coming and going. She was deeply conflicted.
Was he really going to ask Xu Chengfeng for pocket money? Or should he learn from his classmates and find a small shop near the school to do odd jobs? Anyway, she didn’t need to pay for the tuition fees herself. It was fine if she just wanted to earn some pocket money…
Moreover, Xu Chengfeng had already told her not to bother him with small matters. Her pocket money was a big deal to her. To him, he would probably just throw her a cold back view.
Do you want money or face? It was so difficult!
Zuo Yue returned to school with a defeated expression. She had originally planned to invite her new classmates and friends to the PUB for a drink after tomorrow’s night break. She was worried that her card might be frozen and embarrass herself, so she specially went to the bank to check.
In the end, it was really frozen!
An hour later.
“Zuo Yue, can we postpone the gathering after our night off tomorrow for a few days?”Zuo Yue, who had just returned to school, was about to go to the library with her close friends when Julie, who was the closest to her, suddenly whispered into her ear.
Zuo Yue had already planned to use the remaining cash in her pocket to treat them. When she suddenly heard this, she couldn’t help but ask,””What’s wrong? I already said that I would treat you to some sweet wine, although my card is a little…”
Before she could tell her the truth about the frozen card, Julie said with a smile,” I’m really embarrassed to suddenly ask to cancel the gathering, but before I came to Boston, my parents had already set a rule with me. Since I’m already 18 years old, my parents told me to learn to be self-reliant from now on. Last week, they stopped giving me living expenses, so Vina and I went out to look for a job a few days ago. Tomorrow night is the first day of work, so we can’t be late.”
Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. I remember that your family’s financial situation is pretty good.”
Julie smiled.” Many families in America have this kind of education model. We were only stopped from living expenses when we were eighteen. We were already very doted on by our parents.”
“Is the salary high?” Zuo Yue suddenly asked, her eyes shining.
Julie was stunned for a moment.
Zuo Yue immediately nodded repeatedly with an aggrieved expression as if she was in the same boat.
“Haha! Then you should come with us to work! We’ll put on cartoon costumes in the center of the most crowded commercial streets in Boston, and then take the main food in the restaurant and invite adults and children to try it. Our working hours are from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm every day. Our salary is 50 dollars per day. Do you want to go with us?”
“Wow, just going to the shopping street for two hours every day and you get fifty dollars!”Zuo Yue was surprised. Could it be a liar?”
“That new restaurant is opened by one of Vina’s relatives. Because Vina dragged us along to help out, she wasn’t stingy on account of us being her classmates. Don’t worry, it’s just wearing cartoon clothes and standing on the business street.””If you want to go, come with us tomorrow!” Julie said happily.”
Zuo Yue immediately nodded.”
..
That night, Zuo Yue returned to the villa near the medical university.
After entering the door, she glanced at the empty living room. She looked around again and confirmed that Xu Chengfeng had really not returned for the past three days since he sent her here that day.
He should be in Washington right now?
Previously, he felt that it was quite comfortable to suddenly change to a big house. However, after living alone in such a big place for a few days, he was so lonely that he wanted to call his good friends over and party until midnight every day.
” Crazy, arrogant, black-bellied man. Instead of pretending to be a businessman in Russia, he came to the United States to acquire some technology company. He caused me to be inexplicably thrown in Boston and entrusted to someone to take care of me. My card was frozen…”
Zuo Yue grumbled as she lay on the bed in the bedroom. She raised her phone and glanced at it. After scrolling through it for a while, she saw the private number that Xu Chengfeng had left on her phone that day.
You can only look for him when it’s urgent.
She was already so old. What urgent matter could she have? Was a matter of life and death considered an emergency? Was it considered an emergency that she was about to starve to death without her living expenses?
She didn’t even want to ask him for such a thing. What urgent matter could she have to look for him for?
It was clear that he did not want to care about anything else other than this villa!
Zuo Yue pursed her lips and was about to delete his phone number. Just as she was about to press the delete button, her fingers paused again. She endured it and finally threw her phone aside. She buried her head into the pillow and raised her hand to press on her head. She was so angry that she kicked her legs back and forth.
If you go out to work, so be it. Who’s afraid of who!
