Chapter 316: Chapter 132: The Academy’s Variety Show, Su Zelin Is Recommended to Perform

Sunday evening.

Jianglan City, Lijing District.

Huang Hongbo had just returned home after sending their daughter back to school, only to find his wife sitting in the living room, holding a passbook, looking displeased.

"Hongbo, I have something to tell you!"

Li Juan said angrily.

"What is it?" Huang Hongbo was a bit puzzled.

"Take a look at Panpan’s passbook yourself!"

Li Juan stuffed the passbook into her husband’s hand.

In the early 21st century, banks still offered integrated card-passbook services.

This meant that the bank card and passbook of the same account were interchangeable, allowing transactions with either.

When Huang Panpan was too young to open a bank account, Li Juan used her own name to open both a card and passbook for her daughter. Panpan received the card, while she kept the passbook.

Huang Hongbo glanced at the passbook and noticed the balance, looking slightly surprised.

"Why is there so little left?"

The account balance showed just over three thousand three hundred.

To an average family’s child, this would be a huge sum.

But their daughter was different; she was the child of wealthy parents. The pocket money given over the years far exceeded that of her peers, and Panpan never needed that much, so her small savings had accumulated to over twenty thousand.

Li Juan then handed Huang Hongbo a bank ledger.

She had obtained it from the bank staff, detailing the account’s transactions.

Huang Hongbo quickly found the anomaly.

There was a large transfer, taking out twenty thousand from the passbook.

He was even more shocked to see the account it was transferred to.

Su Zelin!

"I told you long ago, that delinquent is unreliable, and you didn’t believe me! But I never expected he’d be so audacious, daring to swindle our daughter out of money, and two thousand at that. It’s utterly shameless!"

"What’s going on here?"

Huang Hongbo frowned.

"What else could it be, when Panpan came back on Friday, I overheard her calling Su Zelin, telling him there’s no need to return the money, that she doesn’t need it. I suspected that Su Zelin borrowed money from Panpan, but thought it might be just a few hundred or a thousand at most. But who knew, when I took the passbook to the bank to check, it was short by twenty thousand!"

Li Juan was infuriated.

She never thought that delinquent would be so greedy and brazen!

"This won’t do. I must talk to that delinquent’s parents right away! I really can’t believe what kind of parents could raise such a child!"

Li Juan, being a strong-willed career woman, couldn’t tolerate a single grain of sand in her eye. It’s partly why her relationship with her husband was strained, and now she couldn’t hold it in any longer.

"Don’t rush!"

Huang Hongbo took a deep breath.

"How can I not rush, our daughter has been swindled out of twenty thousand, and as her father, you don’t think you should take charge? Are you just going to let her be deceived by this delinquent?"

Li Juan was furious, her voice raised by twenty decibels.

"Of course, I can’t turn a blind eye to this, but now is not the right time!"

Huang Hongbo said in a deep voice.

"Why isn’t it the right time?"

Li Juan asked.

"Because in just over two months, Panpan will be taking the college entrance exam! Think about it, if you go confront Su Zelin’s parents, they’ll definitely have to talk to their son, right? Then Su Zelin might contact Panpan. Our daughter willingly lent him the money, she doesn’t think she was deceived by him. If you make a big deal out of it, how would Panpan react?"

Huang Hongbo wasn’t as impulsive as his wife, his analysis was calm and collected.

Li Juan was slightly taken aback. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

She hadn’t thought of that.

Even if that delinquent tricked Panpan, Panpan doesn’t see it that way.

If she found out I went to confront Su Zelin’s parents, we’d definitely end up arguing, and it might even affect her study mindset and performance in the entrance exam.

"Hongbo, what do you suggest we do then?"

Li Juan suppressed her anger.

"In my opinion, since Panpan is studying so hard, we shouldn’t stir up any trouble. Whatever the case, we have to wait until after the exam, by then, Su Zelin will be back, we can get a clear explanation from him, and then decide what to do!"

Men tend to be more steady in handling matters, and his considerations were more comprehensive.

"What’s there to ask, it’s obvious he took advantage of Panpan’s innocence and wealth! But he picked the wrong person, I’m not so easily bullied. When the time comes, I’ll confront Su Zelin, make him cough up the twenty thousand, and keep away from our daughter, or I’ll call the police! But for now, I’ll hold off for a bit!"

"Alright, alright, let’s talk about it later, try to calm down!"

"How can I not be mad when faced with such a mess!"

"..."

A new week begins.

On the Finance Institute campus, East Zone male dormitory.

Su Zelin entered room 305, and immediately saw Liu Yanbin and Pan Yun.

The two had long become boyfriend and girlfriend.

In this older woman-younger man relationship, Liu Yanbin played the pampered role. Whenever she had free time, Pan Yun would often come to 305, bringing him meals and water, making their other roommates envious. Only then did they realize how great senior sisters were, how wonderful they were, they were terrific and praised them highly.

Under the influence of Liu Yanbin and Pan Yun, they all wished they could find a senior sister to spoil them too.

The two sat by the computer, sweet and affectionate, something Su Zelin had seen many times. Upon entering, he greeted them, "Hi, Yanbin, Senior Sister Pan!"

"Oh, the class monitor is here!"

Pan Yun seemed to adopt the stance of following Liu Yanbin’s lead, calling Su Zelin the class monitor as well, anyway, each had their own way of saying things.
