Chapter 51 Potential Profiteer
Chapter 51 Potential Profiteer
What? Sheffield returned her greeting! Incredible!
Looking at the leaving figure of Sheffield, Alina felt a little inconceivable. He was utterly unpredictable. It
seemed that she couldn't give up, and she must greet him kindly when seeing him.
When Alina returned to her room and sat on the chair, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't called
Mr. Su yet. She immediately looked for her phone.
She found the number and dialed it. After ringing twice, Mr. Su answered the phone, "Hello, Alaina,
what's up?"
Alina looked at her foot and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Su, my foot was injured. The doctor said that I had to
rest at home for half a month. I'm really sorry. I'm afraid I can't go to school these days."
Mr. Su's first reaction was why she got hurt again. "Your foot was injured! Is it serious? Now that the
doctor asked you to rest at home, you just rest at home. I'll ask for leave for you, but I'm afraid your
study will be delayed."
Alina didn't worry about studying because she could teach herself. She worried about something else.
"Mr. Su, I can study by myself, but I'm afraid I can't participate in the program. So..."
"You don't have to worry about that. I'll get another student from class to take your place."
"Thank you, Mr. Su. I'm sorry to disturb you so early."
"It doesn't matter. Have a good rest at home and go back to school as soon as possible. If you don't
understand anything when studying, call me or any other subject teacher, okay?"
"Okay, I know. Thank you. Bye."
"Bye." Finally Alaina was willing to study hard and made great progress, but then she got hurt and
needed to rest at home. After hanging up the phone, Mr. Su's heart seemed to fall into the water on a This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
cold day.
After the phone call, Alina sighed that Mr. Su was really responsible for the class.
Maybe new teachers always had a special expectation and affection for the first class they took charge
of.
She remembered that when she was in junior high school, she met a head teacher who had just
graduated from university. He worked seriously and was responsible for them. He was very good to
them. He could always satisfy the students' requirements. Now she thought that he was a very gentle
and handsome young man!
With her chin on her hands, she was immersed in memories when she was awakened by the sound of
pushing the door open.
She turned around and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"
Wendy glanced at her, "If I don't come up, what do you eat? Drink the wind?"
"Ha ha..." Alina giggled, "Thank you, Mom!"
Wendy put the plate on the table and sighed, "You don't need to thank me. But Alaina, you must be
more careful in future!"
"Mom, I don't want to get hurt either. It's just an accident!"
"Well, don't make excuses. Hurry up and have breakfast. Then I'll take it down."
The breakfast was served with porridge, milk, buns and dumplings. Alina had a good appetite and ate
happily.
She gorged herself on the food.
"Slow down. You're a girl. Can't you eat with grace?" Wendy frowned and couldn't stand it anymore.
How could a girl eat like that? It was so rude!
'Well, Wendy is here.' Alina restrained herself and became gentler immediately.
Alina ate all the breakfast. Wendy looked at her daughter and found that she seemed to be eating
more. She asked in confusion, "Alaina, have you grown taller recently?"
"I don't know. Maybe not."
Wendy asked nervously, "Do you feel fatter?"
Alina didn't understand why she was so nervous. "No, I don't. My old clothes still fit me well."
Well, she wore either a loose T-shirt or a school uniform. Even if she got fat, she couldn't feel it.
Hearing her daughter say that she didn't gain weight, Wendy was relieved. Her daughter was the
slimmest!
"Have a good rest. I'll go downstairs. Call the servant if you need anything."
Alina smiled and said, "I know, Mom. Don't worry about me. I will take care of myself."
Wendy looked at her daughter for two seconds, and then she gently picked up the plate on the table
and went out.
Alina leaned against the back of the chair and burped.
She glanced at the alarm clock on the table. At this time, the car should have set off and they would
arrive at Ming Hua High School in a few minutes.
When she thought of school, she immediately felt that there was no time to waste, and that she should
take advantage of this period of time to make further efforts and improve her grades. She wanted to
revive the reputation of a straight-A student.
Alina opened her schoolbag and took out all the books in it. There were still some books at school and
she had to ask someone to bring them back for her.
Who should she turn to? Rose was not on the same way with her. It seemed that her desk mate was
not familiar with her. How about... Let Sheffield go there?
She didn't know whether he would agree or not. She believed that he wouldn't.
'Forget it. I'd better read the book and do exercises!'
Alina lowered her head and studied hard. Time passed quickly. Soon it was time to leave school.
"Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding..." The phone rang.
It was the first time that Alina had received a call from this phone. She took it and found it was an
unknown number.
"Hello, who's that?"
"Alaina, it's Rose!" Rose said happily.
"It's you. How do you know my number?"
"Hum, it's easy for me to get your phone number! I heard that your foot was hurt. What happened? Is it
serious? When will you come to school?"
"I'm fine. But I have to stay at home for half a month."
"Ah, it's been so long. I can't see you for half a month!"
"If you want to see me, you can come to my home."
"I can't find your home, or I must go!"
"I'll invite you over next time."
"Okay!" The person on the other end of the line answered briskly, "I tell you, today the head teacher
announced that you were injured and asked for leave, and that we need to have another person to
partner with Leo. Bonnie and others immediately raised their hands to recommend themselves. It really
pissed me off to see them looking secretly happy!"
The two chatted for a long time. Finally they hung up the phone reluctantly.
Alina looked at her phone's battery. It was running low and had to be recharged at night.
At this time, the sound of door opening came from the next room. Alina didn't know if it was Sheffield,
so she raised her voice and shouted, "Sheffield!"
After a while, there was no response. Alina guessed it was the servant who opened the door.
She stood up and was about to look out of the window. Because the window was not far away, she
didn't move the chair and directly jumped over with one foot.
Boom Boom Boom When she was about to reach the window, Sheffield's cold voice suddenly came
from behind, "You called me?"
Alina subconsciously turned her head. With one foot on the ground, she lost her balance and her body
was swaying uncontrollably. Her hands were waving in the air.
"Ah..."
Two or three meters away, seeing that Alina was about to fall down, Sheffield was so scared that his
heart trembled and he rushed to hold her.
With Sheffield's help, Alina quickly stood on her feet. She took a deep breath, turned her head and said
to him who was holding her, "Thank you!"
They were close to each other. When Alina spoke, Sheffield could clearly feel her hot breath.
He smelled strawberries. She ate them today! A thought flashed through his mind.
What she ate was none of his business!
With a sulky face, Sheffield loosened his grip and said fiercely, "Why you walk around with a limp? You
might as well break your legs!"
Why did he lose his temper all of a sudden? Alina jumped and turned around to face him.
"Sheffield, you cursed me as soon as you came back. If I'm really lame and I can't get married, you
support me!"
"Why should I support you? You are not my family!"
"After all, I'm your sister legally. The Xu Family is so rich. You have no problem raising me."
"You are not my sister." Sheffield said impatiently, "I'll leave if you don't need me."
"No, no, no. I need your help!" Alina grabbed his arm with a flattering smile, "I still have some books at
school. You know that I need to rest at home for half a month, so I would like to ask you to help me get
the books back, please."
"No, let me go!" With a straight face, Sheffield glared at the hand that grabbed his arm.
"Please. Just help me with it." Alina gripped his arm tightly.
"Let me go!"
"Come on. We see each other every day. It's not good of you to be so cold and ruthless!"
With a darkened face, Sheffield gritted his teeth and said, "For the last time, let me go!"
"I promise you that I will do the homework for you for three days," said Alina, throwing out her bait.
Sheffield turned his face away and said flatly, "A week."
Alina stretched out four fingers and shook them in front of him, "Four days, no more!"
Sheffield insisted, "A week. Let go if you are not willing."
Alina was spineless and quickly compromised, "Okay, a week. Remember to bring back all the books
for me tomorrow!" Then she withdrew her hand from his arm.
No wonder he would be a profiteer in the future. Now he had shown himself to be a potential profiteer.
Taking a step back, Sheffield asked, "Class, head teacher's number?"
"What? Well, class 126 in grade one. Mr. Su is the head teacher. I'll send his number to your phone
later."
After hearing this, Sheffield turned around and left.
"Hey..." Alina called him back.
After a pause, Sheffield turned his head and said impatiently, "Can you say it all at once?"
"Nothing. I just forgot to say thank you to you!" Alina said with a bright smile on her face.
A light flashed in Sheffield's eyes and he looked away uneasily. "Nonsense."
He turned around and strode towards the door, with a glimmer of a smile.
