Picking Up a Gorgeous CEO for a Wife

243: Chapter 0243: Substitute Driving 243: Chapter 0243: Substitute Driving “Classmates, being able to see everyone again has made Peilin extremely happy.

Let’s call it a day for now, and we’ll get together some other time,” Peilin said.

Realizing that Yu Peilin was just putting on a brave face, none of the classmates insisted on continuing with the activities.

They all began to look for designated drivers or called for DiDi Express to head home.

Surrounded by a few close classmates, like Liu Tian, Yu QinZhi, and Li Xiaonuan, Qin Yu and Su Ziyan made their way to the elevator.

Yu Peilin, Wang Zixin, Huang Wen, and a few others were chatting enthusiastically about something in the back and showed no intention of joining them, clearly not wanting to get on the same elevator as Qin Yu and the others.

What puzzled Qin Yu was why their usually confrontational deputy class monitor, Zhou Tianlei, had somehow joined them.

Zhou Tianlei didn’t seem to notice the lukewarm welcome from Qin Yu’s circle and made himself at home by asking, “Class monitor, are you free this afternoon?”

“Whether I’m free or not, I need to check with my wife first.

But go ahead, what’s up?” Qin Yu wasn’t keen to hang out with Zhou Tianlei.

With an ingratiating smile, Zhou Tianlei said, “There’s a small raw stone trade fair at Feng’s Manor this afternoon and evening.

I remember our class monitor used to love collecting stones in school.

Why don’t we go take a look?”

Having just whipped out three sets of property purchase contracts, Qin Yu had stepped into the ranks of the wealthy in Zhou Tianlei’s eyes.

Bringing such a wealthy classmate to a raw stone trade fair would certainly boost his own stature.

If it had been Liu Tian who extended the invitation, Qin Yu would have definitely gone.

But considering his mediocre relationship with Zhou Tianlei, Qin Yu’s first instinct was to decline.

When he heard “Feng’s Manor,” Liu Tian’s eyes lit up!

With evident excitement, he said, “Brother Yu, agree to the deputy class monitor!

Let’s go!”

Qin Yu blinked and, looking for confirmation, turned his gaze to Su Ziyan, “Wife, shall we go check it out?”

Su Ziyan wasn’t really keen on going, but seeing Qin Yu’s eager eyes, she nodded, “I’ve got a client at the company this afternoon.

You guys go ahead, and once I’m done, I’ll come over and join you for some fun.”

“In that case, Liu Tian, you and the deputy class monitor head over first.

I’ll drop off my dear wife at the company first,” Qin Yu turned to Liu Tian and said.

“Why go back first?

We can all drop sister-in-law off at the company.

It’s on the way anyway,” Zhou Tianlei eagerly chimed in, fearing that Qin Yu might use escorting his wife as an excuse to back out.

“Deputy class monitor, why are you so eager?

‘Undue diligence invites suspicion; either a traitor or a thief.’ Come clean and it’ll be easier on you.

Are you a shill for Feng’s Manor?” Li Xiaonuan also asked with a teasing smile.

“If only I had such ability, haha…” Zhou Tianlei laughed it off, but he truly didn’t possess such influence.

However, one of his close associates did have an exhibition hall inside.

Naturally, Zhou Tianlei would prioritize having people he brought to select stones in his associate’s exhibition hall first.

“True, if you had that kind of influence, you wouldn’t still be mucking about in the education industry.

Let’s look for a few designated drivers,” said Liu Tian with a shrug, not pressing further.

“I remember the Haitian Hotel offers a designated driver service.

Let’s check with the front desk,” Zhou Tianlei suggested with a smile.

While they were talking, the elevator dinged and stopped in front of them.

There were three people inside the elevator, and there was more than enough room for Qin Yu and the others to get in.

After they all entered the elevator and noticed Yu Peilin and others still chatting away merrily, with no intention of joining them, Liu Tian pressed the close door button.
