Mu Qing, hounded by marriage pressure to the point of not daring to return home, rented her elder brother's classmate, Ye Junbo, to pretend to be her husband, all for the sake of a peaceful lif...
Yang Xi came over with a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Lan Zheng. Seeing Xu Susu blushing and looking at him in a state of confusion, Yang Xi asked curiously, "What did you two talk about?"
"Susu, your face is as red as Guan Gong's."
She teased Lan Zheng again, "Master Lan, don't stare at Su Su all the time. Our Su Su is beautiful, kind-hearted, but timid. If you stare at her like this, she will get nervous, scared, and may even think you're attracted to her."
Lan Zheng: “…”
Xu Susu: “…”
"Yang Xi, I'm paying for her coffee today. I'm treating her. From now on, I'm going to cultivate a relationship with her. Well, I'm going to pursue her."
Yang Xi was stunned. Fortunately, she put the coffee cup down, otherwise she would have thrown the cup because of Lan Zheng's careless words.
Xu Susu was too shy to sit there any longer, so she stood up and said to Yang Xi, "Yang Xi, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You don't need him to pay for my coffee, I'll pay for it myself."
Yang Xi came back to his senses, waved his hand, and said generously: "It's my treat, it's my treat."
Xu Susu took out her wallet from her bag, took out a few hundred yuan and stuffed it into her friend's hand, then quickly took her bag and left.
Yang Xi looked at Lan Zheng, who was sitting quietly eating snacks, and then at Xu Susu, who was about to leave in a hurry. She said to Lan Zheng, "Master Lan, didn't you say you wanted to pursue Susu? Now that Susu is about to leave, why don't you get up and see her off?"
"When you're pursuing her, you should act as her protector and send her home."
Lan Zheng didn't even look at Xu Susu and said, "I'm hungry, let's eat something."
Yang Xi: "...Brother Lan, you won't be able to get a wife like this."
"I'm not going to marry her, so it doesn't matter whether I can get her or not."
Yang Xi almost vomited blood.
If you say you want to pursue someone, doesn't that mean marriage is the prerequisite? You actually say it doesn't matter whether you succeed or not.
"Her car was parked outside. How would she drive her car back if I took her home? So, I didn't want to make things more complicated and asked her to drive her car back. Next time if she doesn't drive over, I can ask someone to take her back."
Yang Xi could confirm that her friend's brother was a funny guy sent by Monkey to play with her and Susu.
Yang Xi sent Susu out himself.
Before Susu got in the car, Yang Xi comforted her: "Susu, Young Master Lan is just like that. Don't take his words to heart. I'll ask Qingqing what's going on for you."
"Qingqing always wanted to be a matchmaker. She had long intended to bring me and Young Master Lan together. But I knew Young Master Lan had no interest in me at all, so I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect..."
No wonder the old lady of the Lan family is so nice to her.
It turned out that he had a bad idea and wanted her to marry Lan Zheng.
The old lady doesn't like her grandson Lan Zheng. Lan Zheng has a special status. He is the next head of the Lan family. The old lady wants Lan Zheng to marry her, a girl who is thousands of miles away from Wangcheng. On the surface, she is still gentle and weak, a greenhouse flower that cannot withstand the baptism of the storm.
Does the old lady want Lan Zheng to be happy?
No, she didn't want Lan Zheng to be happy at all.
The old lady just thought that she was gentle, weak and easy to manipulate. She felt that her mother's home was far away and she only had her sister as a relative there, so it could be said that she had no strong backing.
Xu Susu really didn't expect things to turn out like this.
"I don't think Lan Zheng has any interest in you right now. I'll ask Qingqing and you'll know. You don't have to take it to heart. Don't be too sad. Lan Zheng usually doesn't allow young women to get within three meters of him. You are still special."
Being able to sit at the same table with Lan Zheng and drink coffee.
She did it because of Mu Qing, and since she was married, Lan Zheng was not averse to her and allowed her to appear within three meters of him.
"I'm not sad, I'm just surprised and frightened. Yang Xi, I'm fine. Go back quickly. It's sunny outside. Don't get burned. Ouyang will always come after me."
Seeing that Xu Susu didn't seem really sad, Yang Xi felt relieved.
Only after watching Susu get into the car and drive away did Yang Xi return to the store.
Seeing Lan Zheng sitting there drinking coffee and eating snacks as if nothing had happened, Yang Xi was speechless again.
Qingqing and Lan Zheng are siblings from the same mother, but their personalities are very different.
Alas, it’s no wonder that Qingqing is so worried about her brother’s marriage.
With Lan Zheng's personality, if he could get married, the Lan family's ancestral graves would be filled with joy.
Yang Xi did not go over to disturb Lan Zheng again, but sent a message to Mu Qing.
When Mu Qing was secretly sent back to City A by her father, the cell phone she carried was a new one with a new number, not the old number she was used to.
However, her mobile phone was in Ye Junbo's hands and was not given to Mu Qing's substitute.
After receiving the message from Yang Xi, Ye Junbo answered all of Yang Xi's questions on behalf of his wife.
After figuring out what was going on, Yang Xi was speechless.
I complained to my friend, "Qingqing, as soon as your brother arrived, he told Susu that he wanted to be friends with her and cultivate their relationship, which scared Susu. Susu left in a hurry, and I asked your brother to see her off, but he just sat there motionless. I asked him how he could pursue a wife like that, and he actually said that he wasn't going to marry Susu, so it didn't matter whether he could pursue her or not."
"Isn't he trying to play with Su Su's feelings? What if he really goes to see Su Su every day, becomes friends with her, cultivates feelings, makes her fall in love with him, and then he pulls away, wouldn't that be harming Su Su?"
Ye Junbo: “…”
This is indeed a difficult problem.
His brother-in-law is too direct.
In Yang Xi's words, this was an attempt to scare Xu Susu to death, so that he wouldn't have to marry her.
Finally, Ye Junbo replied to Yang Xi on behalf of his wife: "I will call my brother later and give him a good scolding. If he really has no interest in Su Su, then he should not provoke her. Although I really hope that Su Su will be my sister-in-law, the prerequisite is that the two of us love each other."
"A forced melon won't be sweet, and I don't want to force them to be a couple. He's gone to City A now, and the emperor is far away. Grandma doesn't know whether he's with Su Su or not. He can do what he wants. Why does he have to pester Su Su without any care?"
Yang Xi hummed: "That's right, you have to talk to your brother. Qingqing, how are you doing recently? Is your jewelry store open? Our new store will open soon. Will it be convenient for you to come back then? We all miss you very much."
Since he was pretending to be Mu Qing, Ye Junbo had no choice but to continue replying to Yang Xi's message: "I'm fine. The jewelry store is about to open. I'll try to find time to go back when the new store opens."
Yang Xi looked forward to it: "Call me before you come back."
"good."
"A customer wants to pay the bill, I won't chat with you for now."
Ye Junbo felt relieved and quickly replied to her: "Okay."
Fortunately, nothing was wrong.
