Chapter 280 Seeing Through Everything

"I didn't see any!" Qu Jingyou said. "There were several men with him at the time. But I arrived early, so they probably hadn't had time to call any women yet. Anyway, someone like Lu Zuofan is probably a regular at bars, right? He definitely has plenty of women around."

After she finished speaking, she thought for a moment and added, "Sister, you must keep a close eye on your brother-in-law and make sure he doesn't go to those kinds of places. The passionate music and dim lighting make it easy for one-night stands to happen!"

Lin Xiyin said, "That place is a mixed bag, with all sorts of people. But not all men are one-night stands, so we can't generalize."

"That's true, but Lu Zuofan is definitely not being wronged."

"You can't say that," Lin Xiyin said. "Hasn't he changed a lot now?"

"Old habits die hard," Qu Jingyou said. "Anyway, I don't believe him."

"Jingjing, he said he would give you all his assets, don't you believe him?"

“Sister, making money is the easiest thing for him,” Qu Jingyou said. “Money can be earned back! Besides, his pursuit of me is actually an investment. If he loses, it doesn’t matter; he can make a comeback with the help of his family. If he wins, he’ll gain so much!”

Lin Xiyin was quite surprised: "Jingjing, you see things so clearly?"

She doesn't even look like herself anymore.

Qu Jingyou smiled shyly: "My brother told me all of this."

"I knew it," Lin Xiyin finally understood: "Your brother saw things clearly."

Qu Jingyou sighed, "I really hope these three months will pass quickly, otherwise it's very annoying that he keeps asking me to sign the transfer contract every day."

"Then I feel like his three months haven't been very useful," Lin Xiyin said. "Will he really keep his word and stop bothering you after three months?"

"If he breaks his promise, then I'll have another reason to dislike him."

"Then hang in there, three months will pass quickly."

Qu Jingyou thought about it and was very happy: "Yes!"

"So, how are things going between you and that teacher?"

Qu Jingyou's face immediately fell again: "Don't mention it, he has a girlfriend."

"Huh?" Lin Xiyin was taken aback: "You didn't know before?"

“He was in a long-distance relationship, and his girlfriend was abroad,” Qu Jingyou said. “Many of his friends didn’t know he was in a relationship, so everyone thought he was single.”

"and you……"

"It's okay!" Qu Jingyou said, "Fortunately, I only admire him, I don't really like him. Don't worry, sister, I'm not very sad."

Although she said that, Lin Xiyin knew that she must be feeling terrible inside.

But when it comes to matters of the heart, she didn't know how to comfort her.

She asked, "So, didn't you have a crush on any guys in college?"

Qu Jingyou is a senior this year, her last year, so she basically doesn't spend much time at school.

She said, "They all seem so immature, and they're all putting on an act."

Lin Xiyin felt that Qu Jingyou must have very high standards.

After all, she usually associates with men like Qu Chongyou.

Her family members were so outstanding that her standards for choosing men naturally rose as well.

It wasn't until a few days after Qu Jingyou left that she discovered a problem.

It seems she's starting to get entangled with Lu Zuofan.

Actually, Lu Zuofan had only sent her messages and occasionally called her before, but hadn't done anything specific.

Qu Jingyou removed him from her blacklist, thinking it was just another suitor, and she could ignore it.

But these past few days, it seems like she runs into Lu Zuofan no matter where she goes.

One time, she went out to eat by herself, and Lu Zuofan suddenly appeared and sat down directly opposite her.

Qu Jingyou felt angry whenever she saw him, she didn't know why, but she just didn't like him.

She said, "Did you get my permission to sit across from me?"

Lu Zuofan smiled at her and said, "There are no seats available, and I didn't make a reservation. Please have pity on me, Miss, I haven't had breakfast yet."

Qu Jingyou frowned; "What does it have to do with me that you didn't eat breakfast? Your joking around won't work. Don't try to be annoying to me with the same tricks you use on other women."

The smile on Lu Zuofan's face gradually disappeared.

Qu Jingyou was, after all, a beautiful and kind-hearted little princess who had never seen the dark side of the world.

Seeing Lu Zuofan's change of expression, she couldn't help but reflect on whether she had said something too harsh.

But soon, Lu Zuofan looked up at her again: "Can I sit here?"

Qu Jingyou originally wanted to say no, but then she thought that she was almost full, so she decided to do a good deed for the day.

"casual."

It's related to her family education; although she's pampered, Qu Jingyou doesn't waste food.

She tried her best to finish everything she ordered.

Lu Zuofan glanced at her every now and then, and thought that the way she ate slowly, with her cheeks puffed out, made her look like a little hamster, which was extremely cute.

Qu Jingyou swallowed what was in her mouth and said angrily, "Why are you staring at me like that!"

Lu Zuofan smiled faintly: "Sorry, I couldn't help it."

Qu Jingyou snorted coldly: "I told you not to use your girl-chasing tricks on me, they won't work!"

She said that just now, and Lu Zuofan held back, but now she's saying it again.

He couldn't help but say, "I've never done this to anyone else."

Qu Jingyou rolled her eyes: "Who would believe that!"

“Jingjing, you have to understand, even though I’ve had many girlfriends before, I’ve never pursued anyone. Either they took the initiative to be with me, or… I just glanced at them, and everything else fell into place naturally. I won’t joke around with them, nor will I be unable to resist looking at them.”

"Yes, you've had a lot of girlfriends before, that's impressive!"

Qu Jingyou ignored what he said, finished her food, and got up to leave.

Lu Zuofan hadn't touched his food when it was served. Seeing her leave, he quickly followed her.

Qu Jingyou didn't want to argue with him in the restaurant; that would be beneath her dignity and too unseemly.

Once outside, she said, "I told you to pursue her, not to become a stalker or a spy. If you keep doing this, I'm going to lose my temper."

"You agreed to let me pursue you, but you don't answer my calls, you don't reply to my messages, and you ignore me when we meet. Tell me, what am I supposed to do? Three months will pass quickly, Jingjing. I don't want us to break up and never see each other again."

Hearing him say that, Qu Jingyou felt inexplicably guilty: "Then, then what do you suggest we do?"

Lu Zuofan's eyes were full of doting as he looked at her: "Could you reply to my message first? I promise I won't bother you too much. You can tell me anything, just treat me like... like a safe space. Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."

Qu Jingyou thought for a moment and said, "Then don't call me, and you're not allowed to follow me."

Lu Zuofan said, "I'll agree as long as you reply to my message."

After weighing the pros and cons, Qu Jingyou felt that replying to the message was no big deal.

She nodded; "Okay!"

Lu Zuofan smiled at her and said, "Jingjing, thank you."

Qu Jingyou looked at his handsome face and his incredibly charming smile, and then, thinking about how many women he had smiled at like that, she suddenly felt he was worthless.

She snorted and got into her car.

Watching her car drive away, Lu Zuofan took out his phone and started typing.

Qu Jingyou received his message very quickly.

Lu Zuofan: Does Miss Qu still need a driver?

Qu Jingyou can't drive, so she has a personal driver when she goes out.

She also tried to learn to drive, but the process was far from ideal.

She gets angry when this is mentioned.

She typed curtly: No need!

The message was sent with an exclamation mark.

You can feel her attitude even through the screen.

Lu Zuofan posted again: Free driver, can even help you carry your bags, I can help you with anything you want to do.

Qu Jingyou replied: If you send another message, I'll block you!

Lu Zuofan said: You promised you wouldn't block me.

Qu Jingyou replied: The little fairy can do whatever she wants!

Lu Zuofan typed with a smile: It was my fault, I'm sorry, I apologize.

Qu Jingyou simply stuffed her phone into her bag.

She said to the driver in front, "Uncle Li, I'd like to go to that bar from last time for a while."

Uncle Li, who was driving, was in his fifties and looked very composed.

He frowned, looking quite troubled: "Miss, it's not that I don't want you to go, but President Qu and your brother have specifically instructed you not to go to those places."

Qu Jingyou gave an "oh" and sat back down, looking quite disappointed.

Uncle Li shook his head, turned right, and took her home.

If he dares to take Qu Jingyou to those shady places, will he still have his job?

If anything were to happen to Qu Jingyou, he would be in grave danger.

Qu Jingyou went home feeling dejected.

She was listless, and everyone in the family noticed. Naturally, they took great care of this little princess they cherished and comforted her.

Her family members took turns trying to talk to her, but Qu Jingyou wasn't very happy. Finally, Qu Chongyou came back and went to her room.

"What's wrong? Why are you upset?" Qu Chongyou put down the milk: "Mom asked me to bring you some milk."

Qu Jingyou sat on the sofa and sighed, "Brother, do you think I'm very happy?"

"Little princess of the Qu family, if you're not happy, who is?"

"But there are many things I want to do, but you won't let me do them."

She needs her family's permission to make friends.

She needs to report to her family where she goes.

She loves small animals, but her mother is allergic to animal fur.

The students' planned graduation trip was also opposed by their families due to safety concerns.

She also said that wherever she wanted to go, her family could accompany her.

Everyone only saw her in her luxurious clothes and glamorous life.

But in reality, she has many unsatisfactory things.

But if she says it out loud, others will think she's being pretentious.

After all, what she possesses is something that most people could never afford even if they worked their entire lives.

What else can she say?

Qu Jingyou had already thought it through. She would definitely find a boyfriend who liked small animals, and after getting married, she would keep at least one cat and one dog at home.

At worst, I'll just take a shower and change clothes before going back to my parents' home, and not bring back a single hair.

Qu Chongyou talked to her for a long time. The girl's emotions came and went quickly.

Qu Chongyou was also tired after a long day at work. Seeing that she was alright, she asked one last time, "Has Lu Zuofan been bothering you lately?"

The phrase "free driver" popped into Qu Jingyou's mind.

She shook her head: "It's nothing."

She can handle it.

Qu Chongyou said, "That's good. Go to bed early. By the way, do you have enough pocket money?"

Qu Jingyou asked him, "Brother, could you tell Uncle Li where I want to go and ask him to take me there?"
