Seemingly quite boastful, Yang He got carried away and added, "You didn't see the way Lao He beat people up today. He was so fierce and violent, even worse than when he beat me up last time!"

Perhaps the reward of driving a luxury car was too tempting, because Yang He's tone became cheerful.

Xu Ranyue: "..."

Is getting beaten up something to be proud of?

They actually have to bring this up for comparison!

Yang He seemed to say something else, but Xu Ranyue stopped listening and quickly hung up the phone.

Her mind was in complete turmoil, not because she regretted that she and He Yubai were no longer meant to be, but because she found it very strange.

Could it be that the appearance of a woman can really change a man from one extreme to another?

This was the first time Xu Ranyue had a direct feeling that, as she got older, the people in their circle seemed to be drifting further and further apart.

Jiang Mian ate a very satisfying meal, patting her round belly, and once again enjoyed He Yubai's service of taking her home.

Of course, there's still a good feeling about getting the other person into trouble, but not much of it.

Because when it came time to pay the bill, He Yubai didn't even blink when he swiped his card at the nearly 10,000 yuan bill.

After escorting him back, looking at the hotel in front of him, He Yubai teased, "You don't dare tell me the real address? You want to take a taxi again after I leave?"

This little swindler actually has counter-surveillance skills!

There was such a strong sense of ambiguity. This time, Jiang Mian didn't hide anything, but simply repeated the reasons she had given to Liu Yitang to He Yubai.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly said, "You have nowhere to go? My family owns many vacant properties, I can..."

"Stop!"

Jiang Mian quickly interrupted him, "I know you're rich and powerful, but you don't have to be so eager to help others!"

Although she knew the other party meant well, she felt she couldn't accept something for nothing.

And so what if he owns property? He would never live there himself. Otherwise, what's the difference between him and being kept?

"I'm quite happy living here."

A simple sentence was enough to politely decline.

He Yubai felt a pang of regret, but still wanted to try: "Since I gave you a ride, won't you invite me up for a cup of tea?"

"The hotel doesn't serve tea; at most, they'll boil some water and let it cool."

"That's fine too."

“I’m really sorry,” Jiang Mian said. “I lost the kettle because I drink bottled water.”

He Yubai: "..."

The rejection couldn't be more obvious!
