Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

A full 300,000.

She stood there for a moment at the bank entrance, then looked down and sent a message to Lin Si.

Melancholy Sweetie: [Where did you get so much money?]

S: [I already told you, I earned it by playing games.]

Lin Si had indeed mentioned it before, but Lin Wu hadn't taken it to heart.

She rarely played games, but she knew that Lin Si was addicted to games and often played games at home from morning till night. Besides playing games, he would also go out and cause trouble with his friends.

She thought that making money through games was just an excuse Lin Si used to justify his gaming, and that he probably wouldn't make much money from it.

So every time she met Lin Si before, she would try to give him money.

Lin Wu deposited most of the money he earned in the past year into the bank to pay off his debts. Of the remaining small amount, half was given to Lin Si and the other half was used to cover his own living expenses.

She bit her lip.

My vision gradually blurred, and my eyes felt sore and hot.

My throat is also very sore, like I've eaten several lemons.

She felt wronged and guilty for the first time in a long time.

Not receiving a message from her, he sent another one: "I've already paid back almost 500,000, and this time I plan to save up 500,000 to pay it all back at once."

As it turned out, Lin Wu said that kind people had already helped them pay back the money.

Melancholy Sweetie: [Can you really earn this much money playing video games?]

s: [Hmm.]

Lin Wu: "..."

She really wanted to ask again.

How many hours a day do you play?

How many orders do you need to take in a month?

She couldn't bring herself to ask these questions.

More importantly, even if she asked, Lin Si might not answer.

He will most likely gloss over it.

So Lin Wu had to search for it himself.

She knew the games Lin Si often played, and after searching online for a long time, she found that a provincial standard game cost three or four hundred yuan, while a national standard game might cost twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

How long will this fight take...?

Lin Wu returned to the villa in silence.

Xu Jingwang seems to be feeling unwell these past two days and has been staying at home instead of going to the company.

She absentmindedly changed her shoes and greeted the person sitting on the sofa, "I'm back."

"Um."

Xu Jingwang, clutching the document, glanced at her, then quickly looked away. A few seconds later, he looked up again. "You... what's wrong?"

"Um?"

Lin Wu asked, "What? What happened?"

"Your eyes are a little red." He gripped the file tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. "Did something happen?"

"It's just a personal matter, it's nothing," Lin Wu said. "I'll be fine after a nap."

A personal matter...

Once that statement is made clear, no normal person will ask it again.

It's obvious that Xu Jingwang is not a normal person.

He pursed his lips. "What personal matter?"

Lin Wu: "…………"

She scratched her hair.

The assessment is complete.

He and the owner of the Rose Garden are indeed father and son!

They kissed so passionately they couldn't kiss any more!

Seeing that Lin Wu remained silent, he adjusted his posture, trying his best to appear calm. "Did you... go see Xie Yanhuai?"

"..."

"ha?"

Lin Wu's expression turned confused. "What did you say?"

Xu Jingwang was carefully observing her expression at this moment.

Seeing that she didn't show any signs of being caught off guard, he unconsciously let out a breath, and his tense upper body slowly relaxed.

"I was just asking." He began to justify his somewhat presumptuous question. "After all, you two were engaged before, but now he and Xia Ruoruo are deeply in love, their relationship is getting better every day, and I heard that the two are preparing to get engaged."

He spoke slowly, glancing at Lin Wu's expression as he spoke.

Judging from her expression, Lin Wu didn't seem too sad.

But he wasn't sure.

After all, everyone in Huaguang's graduating classes knew how much Lin Wu liked Xie Yanhuai.

"If it's an engagement, then it's an engagement. It's a done deal. Respect it and give my blessings," Lin Wu said as she took off her coat.

Xu Jingwang: "Hmm."

He lowered his head again; the paper in the document was already crumpled from his grip.

"Um..." Lin Wu whispered to him again, "How about I move out first..."

The person on the sofa could no longer maintain his composure. He suddenly looked up and asked, "Where are we moving to?"

"Aren't there employee dormitories?"

"There aren't any more." Xu Jingwang stared at her.

He spent the whole day at home, dressed in comfortable loungewear, a light gray sweater and black trousers.

It actually looks quite cozy, but his gaze is too aggressive, scrutinizing her very directly.

Lin Wu took a step back somewhat uneasily. "Then I'll rent another place."

"Do you have money?" Xu Jingwang's gaze was somewhat cold.

Lin Wu: "..."

Actually, during the few days she stayed here, this person had a very good temper; no matter what she said, he always listened.

Even the cook would contact her a day in advance to confirm the menu and whether there were any items she didn't want to eat.

"I have no money." Lin Wu took a deep breath, her eyes stinging even more.

Xu Jingwang pinched the bridge of his nose, suppressing his inner irritation, and chose to speak frankly, "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I just don't want you to leave."

Lin Wu's dissatisfaction vanished instantly. "...But I still have to leave eventually."

Xu Jingwang: "...You're right."

He lowered his head again and stared at the documents. "You can leave if you want."

Lin Wu has always been someone who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

If his attitude is particularly bad and he's so forceful that he won't let her leave, Lin Wu will have to run no matter what.

And now he's putting on this pitiful act again...

Lin Wu cleared her throat. "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you this: what exactly do you like about me?"

The man paused for a moment, then raised his hand. "And what about you?"

"What?" Lin Wu asked, confused.

"You liked Xie Yanhuai so much before, what was it about him that you liked?" He asked her directly, looking at her.

"I……"

Lin Wu was stumped by this question.

My mind went blank.

I like Xie Yanhuai...

"He's handsome, academically gifted, and comes from a good family." Lin Wu thought for a while and could only come up with these three reasons.

It seems like there aren't any more.

After all, Xie Yanhuai had a bad temper and wasn't nice to her either. Most of the time, Lin Wu had to coax him and try to win his favor.

"So what do you think of my looks?" Xu Jing asked presumptuously.

"You're very handsome," Lin Wu said.

Xu Jingwang: "Compared to him?"

"Each has its own merits." Lin Wu gave a thumbs up. "They're both equally good."

"I was always first in my grade when I was in school. Since I'm not any less handsome than him, and now I have money to buy you things, why can't you fall for someone else?" he continued to press.

Lin Wu: "..."

She was stunned.

What is all this?

Didn't she ask first?

How come he's in control again now?

Those filthy and despicable capitalists are indeed full of cunning schemes.

"W-How can you just fall in love with someone like that?" Lin Wu stammered.

The man looked at her without saying a word.

The living room was dark, with only the dim light from outside shining in, casting half of his body in shadow.
