save the bachelors

Chapter 4022 Chapter 4024 [The dust has settled]

After the first-instance verdict was announced, Yin Peng and others were still dissatisfied and filed appeals.

But good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil. Because they committed numerous crimes, the second trial did not change the verdict and the original verdict was upheld.

Xiang Nan felt very pleased to see such results.

Yin Peng and his men had committed many evil deeds and were full of crimes. Now they should spend their next life in prison. The food and accommodation in prison were bad, and they had to work every day. For these big bosses who had long been accustomed to enjoying life, this kind of hard life without freedom was probably worse than going to hell.

In Xiang Nan's opinion, this kind of punishment was far more unbearable than killing them.

……

After dealing with Yin Peng and others, Xiang Nan put aside his last worry.

In the following time, in addition to working hard to make money, he also tried his best to tutor Huang Shu with her homework.

A few months after school started, he had earned nearly 300,000 yuan by writing articles and speculating in stocks. In the millennium, such a sum of money was considered a huge sum, and most middle-class families did not have that much money. Of course, there is still a long way to go before he can achieve financial freedom.

Huang Shu's grades have also been gradually improving under his guidance. Now, if she performs consistently, she can be in the top ten in the class.

However, with such results, there is still a certain gap to enter a prestigious university like Tokyo University, so Huang Shu is also working hard.

……

Time flies, and soon it is December 10th, which is Huang Shu's birthday, and it happens to be Sunday.

Therefore, Xiang Nan, Huang Shu, Wang Di, Feng Xuejiao and others helped her celebrate her birthday together.

The four of them celebrated together in the typhoon shelter. Xiang Nan and the other two pooled their money and bought a big cake for Huang Shu.

"Happy birthday to you~" The three of them sang "Happy Birthday" together, making Huang Shu laugh from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you, thank you." Huang Shu said happily.

"Huang Shu, make a wish." Feng Xuejiao said with a smile.

"Yeah." Huang Shu nodded and made a wish, "I hope our friendship will last forever, like evergreen!" Then she blew out the candle.

"Well said. Come, cut the cake." Xiang Nan said with a smile and handed the knife to Huang Shu.

Huang Shu was about to share the cake when she heard someone calling her name, "Huang Shu~"

Everyone was stunned, then they looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zhang Xu walking towards them.

Huang Shu was a little nervous for a moment, and her smile froze.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to bother you." Zhang Xu waved his hand.

He could tell from the expression on Huang Shu's face that she really didn't like him.

When Huang Shu was with Xiang Nan, Wang Di and others, her smile was sincere and soothing, with stars in her eyes. Huang Shu had never shown such a heartfelt and sweet smile in front of him before.

From this, he knew that Huang Shu really didn't like him, and it was useless for him to continue pestering her.

"I came here today to give you a birthday present." Zhang Xu said, handing Huang Shu an exquisite gift box.

"Zhang Xu, thank you, but I don't want to accept it." Huang Shu waved her hand.

She knew that Zhang Xu liked her, but she really didn't like Zhang Xu. In that case, she didn't want his gift and didn't want to owe him a favor.

"Huang Shu, just accept it. This is my last gift to you." Zhang Xu waved his hand and said, "Because I am going to leave Shen Dong and go to the south to work. If I make money, I may come back. If I don't make money, I may never come back."

"Okay." Huang Shu finally nodded when he said that, and then opened the gift box, and saw a music box inside, with a beautiful ballet girl standing on the box. After starting, the music box will play pleasant music, and the girl will dance to the music. "Zhang Xu, thank you." Huang Shu saw this gift, and thought of herself who had been dancing since childhood, and she couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

"You're welcome, Huang Shu, happy birthday to you!" Zhang Xu nodded, "I'm leaving now, I won't bother you anymore."

……

"Huang Shu, he is quite unique." Feng Xuejiao said with a smile after Zhang Xu left.

Huang Shu nodded. She admitted that Zhang Xu was a good person, but she really didn't like him. This was an unsolvable problem.

Fortunately, Zhang Xu figured it out himself, otherwise, she really didn’t know what to do.

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore and divide the cake." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Zhang Xu went to the south to make a living. With his character, he might be able to make a name for himself. After all, it was the beginning of the millennium, an era of economic boom and prosperity. As long as he worked hard, he would have the opportunity to make a lot of money.

Xiang Nan has personally witnessed many people getting rich. For example, he has an uncle who sells kitchenware in Beijing. He first worked for others, selling, delivering, installing and repairing goods.

After learning the craft, he saved up enough money to open a store. In just a few years, he made a lot of money and bought a house and a car. His net worth is nearly 10 million. He is not a wealthy man, but he is rich.

Zhang Xu is very ruthless and even dares to kill people. Such a person dares to take risks and fight to the death, and is more likely to succeed. Xiang Nan is very optimistic about him.

"Divide the cake, divide the cake!" Huang Shu nodded and smiled.

After all, Zhang Xu was just a passer-by in her life. Now that he had left to make a living in the south, she felt not only no reluctance but relief.

Afterwards, everyone presented gifts prepared for Huang Shu.

Feng Xuejiao gave her a bottle of perfume that her mother brought from the United States. Wang Di gave her a tape of Liang Jingru's "Courage". Xiang Nan gave Huang Shu an oil painting of a warm and romantic cottage.

Huang Shu was very happy when she saw the perfume and the tapes, but when she saw the oil painting, she was completely stunned.

This cottage, which is as warm, comfortable and beautiful as home, is her dream home, so she was really moved when she saw it.

"It would be nice if I could really live in it." She couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't worry, it will happen." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Huang Shu nodded. Among all her friends, Xiang Nan understood her thoughts the best.

……

By the year 2001, there was only half a year left until the college entrance examination.

During the winter vacation, Huang Shu did not return to her uncle's house, but spent the Spring Festival in a rented house.

Xiang Nan was afraid that she would be lonely, so he invited her to his home to celebrate the festival together.

Together they put up Spring Festival couplets, made dumplings, watched the Spring Festival Gala, set off firecrackers... Huang Shu had a lot of fun.

"Qin Li, this is the happiest Spring Festival I have ever had." She said to Xiang Nan with a smile.

When she was very young, her father left her and her mother and took Xiao San to the south, so as far as she could remember, their family had never been reunited during the Chinese New Year.

Other families are harmonious and happy, but she and her mother are alone and depend on each other. Although she is not with her mother, uncle and grandmother during this year's Spring Festival, she is very happy. Xiang Nan and grandfather Qin Baishun bring her more warmth than her family.

"Huang Shu, as long as you are happy." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
