"How can you be like this? You have no manners at all."
"What are you barking about? If you like it, take it home yourself. Don't come here to disgust our Mingyue."
"You... how can you... Su Mingyue, can't you control your boyfriend? Letting him talk about your classmates like this."
"What my boyfriend wants to say is what I want to say. Do you think I would fancy you if you look down on yourself? Standing them together, anyone with eyes can tell who to choose."
"Heh, do you really think you're some rich young lady? Xu Fengze already said you're from an ordinary family. I just didn't expose you when you wore fakes and acted all high and mighty out of kindness."
Xu Fengze, clearly flustered, tugged at the girl's sleeve and smiled ingratiatingly at Su Mingyue.
"Mingyue, don't listen to his nonsense. I never said that to him."
"Shut up. Don't call me so intimately. Our families aren't close."
"What are you afraid of her for? She's not going to eat you, is she?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"I wear fakes? Are you kidding me? Our Su family hasn't fallen that low."
"You really think just because your surname is Su, you can slander anyone you want. I advise you to think carefully. Once this opportunity is gone, it won't come back. The Xu family is willing to give 800,000 as bride price, a real bargain for you."
She said, looking Su Mingyue up and down dismissively.
"Before you say that, you should look in the mirror. Mingyue, let's go. Talking to a moron will lower your IQ." With that, the two walked out.
"Mingyue, I truly love you. Please give me a chance. I will treat you well forever."
After saying that, he ran ahead to block their way, knelt down on one knee with a thud, and pulled out a ring from his pocket.
"Aren't you annoying? Han Qingfeng, let's go quickly."
Xu Fengze blocked the path, and wherever Su Mingyue moved, he moved with them.
"Mingyue, I've been pursuing you for so long, please say yes. Do you dislike my looks? I can change for you. What can this pretty boy give you?"
"Yeah, yeah. He's so devoted. Mingyue, just say yes."
...
Jun Jiuli glanced at the boy who was speaking. "Do you people have any sense of morality? If he likes you a lot, must you fulfill his wishes? Besides, Su Mingyue already has a boyfriend. Are you treating me as non-existent?"
"But he's been pursuing her relentlessly for so long, how can you reject him so easily?"
"If he relentlessly pursued you for a long time, would you agree?"
"How can that be? I'm a guy."
"What's wrong with being a guy? What if he's into that? If he were pursuing your sister today, would you still say this?"
The boy was left speechless. Jun Jiuli walked over, threw his bouquet of roses on the ground, and stomped on them fiercely.
"It's better to be sensible. Your intentions are all over your face. If you have any grievances, come find me, Han Qingfeng, at Han Corporation Building."
The fat man suddenly deflated like a leaky balloon, and numbly let them pass. Jun Jiuli escorted Su Mingyue out of the restaurant.
"Xu Fengze, the opportunity was right in front of you, why did you let them leave? I don't care, you have to do what you promised me."
Xu Fengze stood up and slapped the girl.
"Can you stop shouting nonsense? It was all your terrible idea, and you didn't even bother to find out who that guy was. If my family's business gets into trouble, I'll hold you accountable."
The girl looked shocked. She had taken Xu Fengze's money to scheme against Su Mingyue today. They were in a partnership, and she never expected to receive such a hard slap in front of so many classmates.
She also realized that the two people just now might have unusual backgrounds. Seeing the teasing gazes of her classmates, she fled the scene as if escaping.
"Han Qingfeng, you were so cool just now. You're a true friend, I'll treat you to a meal another day."
"Don't love me, it won't work out."
"Narcissist, when did I ever say I liked you? I just asked for a favor, hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮."
"Why didn't you tell Uncle Xu about this?"
"I'm not a child anymore, I don't need to report everything to my parents. Besides, it was originally a small matter, and if things got too awkward, everyone in the class would be uncomfortable."
"I didn't expect Miss Su to be so kind. But some people just don't know when to stop pushing their luck."
"Don't worry, I won't let them take advantage of us by even an inch. If they dared to act recklessly today, I would have definitely called the police and let them experience the taste of prison bars."
"I really can't do anything about you. Here, take this for protection."
"Thank you, Mr. Benevolent Han."
Jun Jiuli safely delivered Su Mingyue back to the Su residence and returned to her own villa to rest at eleven o'clock.
Shui Wa: "Host, why are you being so nice to Su Mingyue? She's not within our mission scope."
Jun Jiuli: "I'm in a good mood, is that not allowed?"
"Then when can you be in a good mood with me too? ⸜(๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝⋆*"
Annoyed, Jun Jiuli took a blue energy stone from her space and handed it to Shui Wa.
"Absorb as much as you can, and use it to strengthen yourself to help me manage the company."
"Okay, Host, you're the best."
Indeed, a little incentive went a long way. The next day, Shui Wa was extremely diligent. Without Jun Jiuli needing to supervise, it was flying through documents.
The phone rang. It was the female lead.
"Hello, who is this?"
The person on the other end took a deep breath before speaking. "Mr. Han, it's me, the girl you saved a few days ago."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Mr. Han, I have no way to repay your great kindness. Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer you."
"It's fine, just pay the bill."
Zhao Yanran bit her lip and touched her stomach. If this continued, she wouldn't be able to hide it.
"Mr. Han, I'll be direct. Can you lend me some money? I want to study abroad."
"Oh? Are we that close that I should lend you so much money?"
"Mr. Han, you're a good person. Please help me. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Shui Wa: "Mastering the art of getting something for nothing. Here's a 'good person' card."
"Miss Zhao, I'm a businessman, not a good person. Once your injuries have healed, please settle the bill."
"But I..."
"Alright, alright. I'm busy here. Don't call me if there's nothing important."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm afraid I'll be infected with white lotus behavior if I say any more. How thick can one's skin be? Free food, free lodging, and now you want me to send you abroad to study? Dream on."
Shui Wa: "She's thinking of coming back to repay you after she's educated."
"Thanks for the invitation, but I can't accept this favor."
"Host, how are you planning to deal with the female lead?"
"Don't say it so suggestively, okay? Be mindful of your identity. I'm a boy now. Maintaining a clean image is the first principle. Besides, the original host didn't intend to do anything to her. Let's just go with the flow for now."
"Heh, guess if I believe you?"
