CHAPTER 1229: CHAPTER 1230: THE LOVE-STRUCK BROTHER’S SISTER 72

After Zhang Hao started studying at the technical school, he initially couldn’t adapt because from middle school onwards, his studies became hectic.

No matter how his grades were, he still had to do homework and attend classes. Otherwise, if he failed an exam, he would definitely not have a pleasant outcome.

After starting at the technical school, the academic aspect wasn’t too challenging. Even though he transferred halfway, he could still keep up with their progress, which shows how little there was to learn at the technical school.

Zhang Hao can now get along quite well with his classmates, play basketball together, and after school, go to the internet cafe to play games, living quite a good life.

Sometimes Zhang Hao would think, in hindsight, if he knew it would be so fun and he would end up studying a trade anyway, why did he struggle so hard? It would have been better to relax sooner.

On weekends, he could spend more time with Chen Jiaojiao. Previously, he focused on so-called studies so much that he couldn’t really spend good time with her, which led to these things happening.

Before, when they went out on dates, they always ate good food and went to fun places. Now Zhang Hao is tight on money, so they can’t spend it like they used to, and more often they have cheap dates.

Zhang Hao initially found it hard to adapt, but as time went on, he got used to it.

Zhang Yu and Lu Jiajia were out shopping and eating when they ran into Zhang Hao and Chen Jiaojiao, "What a coincidence."

Chen Jiaojiao looked at Zhang Yu, wearing a simple short-sleeve shirt and jeans, yet it looked very tasteful on her, no matter how simple the outfit was.

"Little Yu, what are you up to?" Zhang Hao didn’t expect to see Zhang Yu, "How do you have time to go shopping?"

"Just came out to see if there are any suitable books." Zhang Yu glanced at Chen Jiaojiao and noticed she looked a lot more haggard.

That’s right, previously she openly had Zhang Hao doting on her, and in private, she had quite a few admirers who would treat her to food and give her nice things.

Now the admirers are gone, Zhang Hao doesn’t have much money on hand, and wouldn’t give her many things either.

In the original owner’s memory, Chen Jiaojiao was always beautifully done up, so Zhang Yu thought she must have naturally good looks.

Looking at Chen Jiaojiao’s current appearance, even though she was wearing makeup, she still looked a bit haggard. It was estimated that without makeup, her condition might be quite bad.

"Are you two on a date?" After a brief chat with Zhang Hao, Zhang Yu was ready to leave.

Chen Jiaojiao didn’t expect to see Zhang Yu here and was quite surprised.

Unfortunately, Zhang Hao wouldn’t open his mouth, which made Chen Jiaojiao so angry she kept giving him looks.

Zhang Hao had no choice, "Little Yu, do you have any money on you?" If he could avoid it, he really didn’t want to ask Zhang Yu for money.

"How much do you need?" Zhang Yu knew when Chen Jiaojiao greeted her so enthusiastically, she must have an agenda; without one, she wouldn’t be this polite.

"Uh, is a thousand okay?" Zhang Hao’s voice got lower and lower, "I want to buy Jiaojiao a gift."

"You say, you want to buy Chen Jiaojiao a gift?" Zhang Yu was stunned. She was initially quite pleased when she heard Zhang Hao hesitantly mentioning borrowing money.

She thought it might be for a gift for Granny Zhang, as it was her birthday soon, and with this gift, it might be possible for her to not pull a long face every time she saw him.

Who would have thought, this kid wanted to borrow money to buy a gift for Chen Jiaojiao? "Do you know what day it is in a few days?"

Zhang Yu could confidently say that even with a little prompting, it was unlikely Zhang Hao would figure it out.

What day is it in a few days? Zhang Hao seriously thought about it for a long time and still couldn’t recall, "I can’t remember."

"It’s Granny’s birthday." Even though she was mentally prepared, hearing Zhang Hao say this line, Zhang Yu could only shake her head helplessly.

Oh, it’s the old lady’s birthday? Chen Jiaojiao knew it was Granny Zhang’s birthday, and her face fell.

When Zhang Hao realized it was his grandmother’s birthday, he suddenly came to his senses, "Right, right, I’m such a pig-headed fool; how could I have forgotten."

Zhang Yu thought, having already realized it was Granny’s birthday, he should know what to do, right?

"Forget it, Granny doesn’t lack money, I’ll just accompany her for a stroll." Zhang Hao had considered borrowing money from Zhang Yu, but then thought, doesn’t borrowed money have to be repaid?

Zhang Hao didn’t dare to default on money owed to Zhang Yu. Last time he borrowed money, he didn’t plan on repaying, but after she asked three times without getting it back, she directly approached Zhang Dong and got it from him.

"Are you still going to borrow the money?" Zhang Yu paused for a moment.

"Yes, Jiaojiao has her eye on something." He was in various kinds of financial need.

Zhang Yu transferred the money to him, "Remember to pay me back next month when you get your allowance."

With that, she left without waiting for Zhang Hao’s response.

Lu Jiajia looked back at Zhang Hao then caught up with Zhang Yu, "Aren’t you afraid he won’t repay the money?"

"What is there to worry about? If he doesn’t pay me back, I’ll find my dad." Zhang Yu said indifferently.

"If I tell my dad or Grandmother about the date he borrowed the money and its amount, what do you think they would think?" Zhang Yu knew Zhang Hao would not want to expose this matter.

Chen Jiaojiao looked at Zhang Hao unhappily, "He still has to pay you back?"

Zhang Hao nodded helplessly, "Yeah, I have to pay it back. If I dare not pay it back, she’ll definitely go to mom and dad."

Chen Jiaojiao pouted unhappily, "How can there be such a sister? It’s not like she doesn’t have money."

"She even took several ten thousand from a competition." Chen Jiaojiao would feel displeased whenever she thought about how Zhang Dong casually transferred large sums of money to Zhang Yu.

"And your dad too. No matter how good Zhang Yu’s grades are, she is still a girl. It’s your responsibility to carry on the family line."

Chen Jiaojiao thought Zhang Hao was a fool, just watching Zhang Yu take so much money from the family.

"You shouldn’t say that." Zhang Hao pulled Chen Jiaojiao’s hand, signaling her not to talk like that, "My dad said, a girl is also a member of the Zhang Family."

"Does your dad plan to let Zhang Yu inherit your family business?" Chen Jiaojiao became anxious. If Zhang Hao couldn’t inherit the Zhang family estate, what future would he have?

In the past, Zhang Hao thought Zhang Dong was trying to scare him and wouldn’t not care about his son.

But now, he really didn’t dare to gamble, very worried about whether his parents might actually leave the property to Zhang Yu.

Chen Jiaojiao grew more agitated, "What’s wrong with your dad, having a son yet not taking care of him."

"Zhang Hao, it’s not like I’m eyeing your parents’ stuff. If we have the ability, and we’re just as competent as your sister, we can earn our own money by working hard too."

Zhang Hao wanted to say that Zhang Yu didn’t care about the family’s stuff.

"Don’t say that. Zhang Yu claimed she wouldn’t inherit the family stuff, but talk is cheap."

"You must be more aware than I am of how much money your parents have."

"Zhang Hao, these days many siblings turn against each other over money."
