Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!-Chapter 438: Overheard

Ah! Overheard!

Not knowing how to explain why she was hanging out with a man who worked as a "duck", Tong Mo simply made up an excuse, "I mean, I feel like eating duck..."

"Oh!" Luo Mengmeng looked unconvinced as she looked away.

That evening after school, Tong Mo spotted the dazzling Lamborghini from a distance.

"Uncle!"

Tong Mo hurriedly pushed her bicycle towards it with a smile on her face.

By the time she got there, the car window was just being rolled down, and Li Zijue’s handsome face appeared, smiling as he tossed out two words to her, "Get in."

"Right away!"

Tong Mo hung her bicycle on the back of his car and hastily opened the door to get in.

As soon as she sat down, she blurted out to him, "Uncle, did you know, I became an official!"

At that moment, Tong Mo hadn’t realized that she had let her guard down entirely in front of this man, and was even eager to share her happy news with him.

"What kind of official?" Li Zijue asked knowingly.

In fact, he had already known she became the head of the publicity department, and to celebrate her success, he had even postponed a project worth billions.

Tong Mo raised her eyebrows proudly and said, looking at him, "Head of the publicity department."

Li Zijue gave her a begrudging compliment, "Well done."

"Not at all, it’s just alright, the best in the world is all," Tong Mo quickly covered her mouth and humbly said.

Li Zijue: "..."

So it’s the best in the world, and still just alright!?

Li Zijue couldn’t help but laugh, as he buckled her seatbelt, saying, "To celebrate you becoming an official, I’ll treat you to a meal."

"Yes, please!" Tong Mo was thrilled, her fair cheeks revealing two small dimples.

Li Zijue opened a bottle of red wine, and Tong Mo eagerly poured a glass for both him and herself.

Raising her glass, she looked at him, "To Uncle, for my first time being such a high official, cheers!"

"Cheers."

Li Zijue slightly curled his lips, picked up the wineglass filled with red wine from beside him, and lightly clinked it against hers.

Tong Mo downed her drink in one go and then began to eat heartily.

Li Zijue smiled helplessly; he always felt like he was eating with a pig whenever he dined with her.

It wasn’t until many years later, when Luo Mengmeng came to his and Tong Mo’s house as a guest, that Li Zijue realized that Gu Zhihan’s family member was the real pig. Compared to her, Tong Mo was like a minor witch in front of a grand sorcerer!

Tong Mo ate quickly that evening. After wiping her mouth, she hastily motioned him, "Uncle, please take me home. Tomorrow morning, Mengmeng and I still have duty at the school gate!"

The duty schedule was already arranged by Gu Zhihan; she and Mengmeng were on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and tomorrow was Wednesday.

"Okay."

Li Zijue started the car and drove her home.

The next day.

Luo Mengmeng and Tong Mo were standing at the school gate, both wearing their student council badges.

They were carefully checking the students coming and going; any student without a student ID had to be noted by name.

However, the students at A Middle School were generally good students, and good students seemed to have one inherent trait—that is, honesty!

So Luo Mengmeng and her team didn’t catch anyone without an ID or skipping school all morning.

Just before the class bell was about to ring, they finally caught someone.
