Being the son of a businessman isn't easy, and Ji Nan knows that to well. So when he was forced to move he made sure to not let anyone know about his fathers income. He even made sure not to let anyone get to know him, but when he is tasked with tut...

Time had gone by slow after the start of class. I had tried my best to focus but I couldn't. I found myself just doodling on a piece of notebook paper most of the time. The bell for lunch had just sounded, and my phone began to ring. I pulled it out of my pocket to see Ba Wei's face. I smiled softly. I quickly answered it.
"You're quick."
He chuckled, "yeah."
"Why are you calling?"
"I just called to ask you what you wanted to drink. I gotta leave the school grounds to get the food so I thought I'd ask now."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm just going to get a sandwich from grandma. It's relatively close so I thought why not."
"hmm, that's true. Just let her recommend me something. I'm sure she has good taste."
"en okay. I'll talk to you when I get back."
He hung up and I got up from my seat and made my way out the classroom. I'm kind of glad he chose to leave the school grounds because I wanted to call my mother. I just wanted to tell her to go to my old apartment so we can talk. I know going there isn't going to make Ba Wei happy, but she won't be able to do much since I know he's going to tell Kang Wu to keep an eye on me.
I rounded the corner and was about to start climbing the stairs when someone called my name. I turned slightly to see one of the boys from my class walking behind me. I raised an eyebrow, but stopped and turned towards him.
"Can I help you with something?"
"Yeah, I actually just have a question."
"What is it?"
"Is your father the CEO of Ji Pyramid?"
I stared at him for a moment before simply nodding. I thought I'd be more upset about him knowing that but I didn't feel any particular way.
"Why are you hiding it?"
"I've never hid it, no one has ever asked," I said truthfully.
"I thought your name seemed familiar. It's funny. It explains why you always seem to have your nose stuck up at everyone."
I narrowed my eyes at the boy, "what do you mean by that?"
"Well, you always speak to people like they're beneath you. You're a rich kid, it explains it." I stared at him for a second before I turned and started to climb the stairs. I didn't really have the energy to argue with him about how I act around people.
"I'm gonna say this once," I said stopping halfway, "My wealth has nothing to do with how I treat people. I simply just don't like people. It's few people I like talking to."
"You're full of-"
"You're not one of them," I said cutting him off as I began walking again.
I expected him to say something but he didn't. When I made it to the roof I took in a deep breath and sighed. I'm kinda glad that he only found that towards the end of the school year rather the beginning. I know he's going to tell the whole class, and that means the whole school. Annoying. I walked over to the railing and sat down. I pulled my phone out, and clicked my mothers number. It rung for a few seconds before she finally picked up.
