Nian Ueno

Wu Le is actually very confident. He owns a house and a car, has a stable job, is not ugly, is neither tall nor short, and has an artistic temperament, making him very popular in the dating market.

However, he has high standards and has never found a girl he likes.

He felt really good about the girl today.

Young, beautiful, and highly educated.

The moment Wu Le saw her, he knew she was the one.

Throughout the meal today, Jiang Weixi didn't say much, only occasionally chiming in with a word or two. She gave the impression of being a quiet, well-behaved girl with a good temper—the kind of girl who's easiest to handle.

When Jiang Weixi heard him say these words, she couldn't hide her surprise.

Why are we suddenly talking about marriage?

She didn't seem to extend any olive branch to him, so what made him misunderstand?

Jiang Weixi said coldly and expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, I have no interest in you."

She refused outright.

She is currently married and absolutely cannot have any entanglements with other people.

Wu Le was stunned for a moment, as she was planning their life after marriage when her beautiful fantasy was suddenly shattered.

You were rejected?

Wu Le's face instantly darkened, and even his tone turned cold and hard: "Miss Jiang, may I ask what you are dissatisfied with about me?"

The seemingly polite inquiry actually concealed anger and resentment.

Jiang Weixi found him inexplicable, wondering what kind of expression he was giving her. Did he think that others couldn't be dissatisfied with him?

But she still came up with a plausible excuse: "I don't think we're a good match. I need to focus on my studies right now and have no plans to get married."

"I heard from your mom that you'll be a senior in college soon, and you'll graduate in a year, right? That... won't affect your marriage at all."

"I'm sorry, I plan to pursue a master's degree and study for a few more years."

What did you study?

"philosophy."

Wu Le paused for a moment, then suddenly revealed a mocking smile, saying in an lecturing tone, "A master's degree in humanities isn't very valuable. With your major, you'll only find jobs with a monthly salary of a few thousand. In my opinion, a bachelor's degree is enough. Why waste a few more years?"

Jiang Weixi frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, and her tone became less polite: "That's my own business."

The implication is: You're meddling too much!

She revealed her thorns, and her words became sharp.

Wu Le was dissatisfied.

But he really liked this girl and didn't want to give up so easily, so he tried to persuade her.

He began to lobby:

"If you miss out on someone like me, you might not find anyone better in the future."

"You're at the best age right now. Find a reliable person to settle down with while you're young; that's better than anything else."

"I can still find someone in their twenties when I'm thirty, but if you're a girl and you start looking after twenty-five, your options will be much narrower."

"If you marry me, you won't have to worry about finances. You can focus on raising the children and doing what you love. Isn't that great?"

"Aren't all the things you're insisting on now ultimately for a stable life? What I'm giving you is the most stable life."

His tone was too lecturing.

Jiang Weixi frowned even more deeply. She had initially had a decent impression of him, but after hearing his words, she was now completely disgusted.

"Mr. Wu, let me be frank, I'm not interested in you. Please drop me off on the side of the road."

She didn't want to continue talking to this man; it would be a waste of time.

If she had known that Du Wei was calling her over today just for a blind date, she would never have gone.

Is she some kind of commodity? Why is she being displayed and shown around? Why does everyone want to trade her for some profit?

She reaped both the benefits and the ill-gotten gains from her beauty.

Wu Le continued driving forward.

Jiang Weixi raised her voice and emphasized again, "Please pull over to the side of the road, I need to get out."

Wu Le still did not stop the car.

After being rejected, he became enraged and resorted to slander.

"You're so pretty, do you have a lot of suitors? These days, many beautiful female college students are kept by rich men. Are you one of those girls?"

He glanced at her sideways, his gaze sweeping over her bag, his tone becoming increasingly sarcastic.

"Is this bag a high-quality replica or the real thing? Given your family's financial situation, you shouldn't be able to afford something like this. So, was it a gift from a wealthy client?"

Jiang Weixi clenched her fists, resisting the urge to punch him in the face: "You're being very offensive!"

Wu Le scoffed, "Why aren't you answering my question? Are you afraid to answer? Did I guess right? I suppose your mother doesn't know what you've been doing outside."

Jiang Weixi gave him a cold look: "I have no obligation to answer your questions. Stop the car, I'm getting out."

"Tell me first if you're being kept by a sugar daddy, then I'll stop the car and let you out." Wu Le's eyes held a wicked glint, along with a hint of vengeful pleasure.

If you can't have a beautiful woman, then slander her mercilessly.

Anyway, it's not his problem; it's these women who are vulgar and materialistic.

Jiang Weixi took out her phone, pressed the emergency call button, and hovered her finger over the dial button.

"Stop the car now, or I'll call the police immediately." Her attitude was firm, and her eyes were cold.

The atmosphere inside the car froze for a moment.

Jiang Weixi pressed the button directly.

My phone beeped twice.

When Wu Le saw that she was really going to call the police, he quickly stopped his car on the side of the road.

He didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he just made a casual remark.

He is still someone who values ​​his reputation.

Jiang Weixi immediately opened the car door and got out. Before closing the door, she spat at him fiercely: "Pah! What a piece of trash! You're filthy, everything looks filthy to you."

She slammed the car door shut and walked away without looking back.

Jiang Weixi stood by the roadside and hailed a taxi again, returning to the Zhenguiyuan residential area, where the house that Grandma Ji had given her was located.

Her new car is currently parked in the garage, but unfortunately she can't drive it because she doesn't have a driver's license yet.

Thinking of this, Jiang Weixi wanted to get her driver's license as soon as possible so she could drive herself wherever she went and wouldn't have to ride in other people's cars anymore.

She walked into the community gate, lost in thought, and when she was almost at her building, she felt someone following her.

Jiang Weixi turned around abruptly.

Wu Le was standing not far behind her. Seeing that she had been discovered, he quickly stepped forward with an "I knew it" look in his eyes.

"I knew it! So you were being kept by a rich guy? This neighborhood is too expensive for the average person; even renting it for a month isn't cheap."

"You're following me?"

"Don't put it so harshly. What do you mean by 'following' or 'not following'? I'm just curious."

Jiang Weixi called the community security guard: "Hello, I'm downstairs at building 35. A suspicious person has sneaked in. Could you please come and take a look?"

A black Bentley drove up from the intersection and slowly stopped in front of the building.

A man got out of the car.

Jiang Weixi was already annoyed by Wu Le's behavior when she looked up and saw the man walking towards her. She quickly waved and said, "Xiao Zhou."

From afar, Xiao Zhou saw Miss Jiang and a man standing downstairs. She was wondering what was going on when she heard Jiang Weixi call her name. She quickly walked over and asked, "And this is…?"

Wu Le glanced at the man and assumed that Xiao Zhou was her sugar daddy.

He noticed the Bentley the other party was driving, and after weighing the options, he felt he had no chance of winning and decided to give up on Jiang Weixi.

But before leaving, they still had to verbally humiliate her and cause her trouble.

Wu Le smiled and looked at Xiao Zhou, saying, "I'm this Miss Jiang's blind date. May I ask your relationship with her?"

Xiao Zhou: ?
