The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 182 Let go
After Zhong Yun sent Xia Siyin home, he finally had time to take out his phone. Sure enough, he saw the WeChat message from Ruan Xi, "This gift is too expensive."

The time was an hour ago.

He responded, "Like it?"

Ruan Xi replied almost immediately, "I like it very much. But it's really too expensive. I can't accept it."

He knew what she was worried about. "I'm past the age of pretending to be rich. Since I can give it to you, it proves that it is within my ability. Please keep it."

From the moment she took out that card to pay off his debt that night at her hometown, she deserved any expensive gift.

"If you feel bad, you can return the gift."

……

On the other side, Ruan Xi was lying in bed, looking at the gold bracelet on her wrist, biting her fingers, thinking about what gift she should give him.

Just as I was thinking about it, Zhong Yun sent another message, "What was your roommate's reaction when he saw the gift you received?"

She thought of the envious words her two roommates said, her face flushed a little, and she replied, "They said you were so nice to me, I'm really envious."

"This way, it won't be long before all your classmates know that you have a generous boyfriend. Then there won't be so many people harassing you."

Ruan Xi touched the bracelet. So, is this the reason why he gave me a gift on this day?

After a moment, she responded, “Yes, thank you.”

"You guys are going to have military training soon, right?"

"Well, starting the day after tomorrow."

"It will be very hard. If you can't stand it, ask the instructor for leave."

"Ok."

……

Zhong Yun could clearly feel that Ruan Xi had become more distant from him, and there was nothing she could do about it. From her perspective, he already had a girlfriend, so naturally she had to keep some distance.

If a boy appeared next to her at this time, who knows what would happen?

People are like this. If you never fall in love, it's okay.

Once there are emotional setbacks, such as a broken heart, or a failed confession of love, and you are depressed and sad, it is easy for others to take advantage of you.

Therefore, girls who have just broken up or are emotionally hurt are relatively easier to pursue.

Zhong Yun felt that it was necessary to establish a good relationship with Ruan Xi's roommates so that any disturbances could be discovered in time.

This is called just in case.

After chatting for a while, he took the initiative to end the topic and asked her to go to bed early.

After Zhong Yun returned home, Meng Jiaen didn't call him or send him a message until she was ready to go to bed. She was probably afraid of hearing his answer and being rejected by him.

Indeed, normally, when one of the good friends of the opposite sex suddenly confesses his/her feelings, the other party always needs some time to react.

He thought about it and decided not to send it to her. He put the phone under his pillow, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

……

The next day, Zhong Yun learned from Yao Man that the banquet in the evening was initiated by Ye Qing's Ye Group to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the group's establishment.

Not only many business partners were invited, but also many official figures, so the scene was quite grand.

Yunwei Group and Ye Group are very important partners, so Xia Siyin naturally has to attend.

Zhong Yun’s first reaction was, did she do it on purpose?
Last time, when he was having dinner with Ye Qing, he went to the bathroom and when he came out, Ye Qing's attitude suddenly became very bad, causing Meng Jiaen to fall out with her.

At that time, Ye Qing mentioned Xia Siyin.

Zhong Yun guessed that it was most likely related to Xia Siyin.

Now, he was asked to attend the banquet of Ye Group as a male companion. Is Mr. Xia demonstrating? Or is he preparing to declare ownership?

What would happen to Ye Qing? She probably wouldn't agree to him being with Meng Jiaen in the future.

While Zhong Yun was thinking, Yao Man was observing him, curious about what he would do.

By chance, she found out that Zhong Yun was having affairs with the three women, and she also witnessed with her own eyes how President Xia went to the restaurant to disrupt things, causing a nice dinner to meet the parents to end in a bad mood.

Now, President Xia has made another move, obviously wanting to use this method to cut off the possibility of Zhong Yun and Meng Jiaen being together in the future.

To be honest, she felt that Zhong Yun was very lucky to have a woman like President Xia treat him so attentively. If he was still not satisfied, he should be struck by lightning.

If it were her, she would have kicked such a fickle man away long ago.

When it comes to company matters, President Xia is so decisive and ruthless. How come he is so useless when it comes to relationships?
Yao Man naturally stood on Xia Siyin's side, regardless of gender or relationship. She criticized Zhong Yun over and over again in her heart.

...Zhong Yun spent a long time thinking about whether he should attend the banquet with Xia Siyin tonight.

When it was almost noon, Ruan Xi suddenly sent him a WeChat message, "Are you free at noon?"

"what happened?"

"I want to treat you to lunch at noon. If you are not free, we can have dinner in the evening."

"Let's go for noon. Send me your location."

It's rare that she takes the initiative to ask me out, so of course I have to go.

Zhong Yun said something to Xia Siyin and went out.

Ruan Xi originally planned to stay in a shopping mall between her school and his company. When he learned that she planned to take the subway, he rejected the plan and decided to stay near her school.

He took a taxi there.

Xia Siyin's car was too eye-catching. If she drove it to meet Ruan Xi, her classmates would easily think that she was dating a rich man.

For a girl, reputation is very important.

Normal dating and hanging out with a rich man are two different concepts, and the latter is more likely to be criticized.

An hour later, Zhong Yun arrived at a street near Sun Yat-sen University. Because there were many people there, he got off the bus on the street.

He randomly searched online for a restaurant with good ratings and a lot of reviews, but he didn't know where it was exactly.

He turned on the navigation on his phone and it wasn't far, less than 20 meters. Just as he was about to go over, he suddenly felt someone pulling his clothes. He turned around and saw her again.
The one who pulled his clothes was Shi Xiuhe. This time she had learned her lesson and pulled his clothes without making a sound.

……

In a milk tea shop, Shi Xiuhe was making milk tea, which was a part-time job she found.

She glanced and saw Zhong Yun passing by the door. She felt like she was electrocuted and rushed out, dropping the cup in her hand.

It's really him!

Looking at the man in front of her who was looking down at his phone, she was so excited that she walked up to him and grabbed the corner of his clothes.

This time, she wouldn't let go no matter what.

"Xiu He, what are you doing?"

Another employee in the milk tea shop poked his head out and asked.

Shi Xiuhe turned a deaf ear and just stared at the man in front of her.

Zhong Yun saw that she was wearing a hat, an apron with the milk tea shop logo, and a transparent plastic mask. The stubbornness in her eyes made him feel a little soft-hearted.

He asked, "What do you want to say?"

The tears in Shi Xiuhe's eyes finally fell, "I just want to tell you, I'm sorry."

"Now that you've said that, can you let go?"

"I--"

Shi Xiuhe had a lot to say, and she had thought about how to ask for his forgiveness when she saw him. But now, Zhong Yun's words stopped her from saying anything.

She didn't let go of his hand, but tightened it. "Then, can you forgive me?"

At this time, many people stopped and looked at the two of them.

"Isn't that Shi Xiuhe? What is she doing?"

"Do you know her?"

"Of course, she's the most beautiful girl in our department and a master at part-time work."

"Oh……"

……

Zhong Yun couldn't help but frown as he saw more and more people gathering around to watch the show. Suddenly, he saw two familiar figures out of the corner of his eye and thought that he was in trouble this time.

Those two were Ruan Xi's roommates.

As luck would have it, I was bumped into by them.

I was thinking about getting along well with them last night, but now this happens. Isn't this the end?
He said, "I have to go see my girlfriend now, can you please let go?"

Shi Xiuhe's face turned pale, but under his gaze, she let go of her hand.
