Neither Cen Jianxun nor Lin Wei gave up, and they came to see He Wenlin every day, especially Lin Wei.

He Wenlin was extremely annoyed. At first, she politely refused, but later she got fed up and scolded Lin Wei. Lin Wei was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she indeed behaved herself for a few days.

Liu Xinze would send flowers to the school every day, which was very high-profile, but He Wenlin refused to accept them, so he had to send the flowers to Chunfeng Education every day.

He Wenlin goes there every day.

Not only that, he sent He Wenlin more than a dozen text messages every day, but He Wenlin never replied to a single one.

He Wenlin felt annoyed because there were unread text messages. If she didn't check them, she was afraid of missing important information, but when she did, they were all from him.

He Wenlin wanted to block him, but at that time it wasn't a smartphone, and the functions weren't as complete.

"Stop texting me, or I'll really report you for harassment." He Wenlin was very angry.

She didn't feel any sense of pride or vanity from being pursued, even though Liu Xinze was quite good-looking.

She's a looks-obsessed person, but she's more than just looks-obsessed.

Of course, the most important thing was Liu Xinze's gaze; she always felt very uncomfortable.

"Linlin, I'm so happy that you took the initiative to call me."

"Stop texting me, you don't want me to call the police, do you? And stop calling me Linlin, we're not that close."

Why are you so serious? Don't you understand how I feel about you?

"Feelings?" He Wenlin sneered. "Liu Xinze, dating costs money. I want to buy a villa. Wait until you can afford a villa before you talk to me about feelings."

"Linlin, I have to criticize you for this. Love can't be measured by money. My feelings for you..."

"Stop talking nonsense. I love money, I'm materialistic, so you should go find your love and stop bothering me. If you text me again, I'll call the police and have you arrested! You try me!"

Because Liu Xinze is He Shan's boyfriend's cousin, He Shan told Luo Wenbin about it: "Tell your cousin to stop bothering Linlin. Linlin will really call the police. He sends more than a dozen text messages a day, doesn't he find it troublesome?"

Luo Wenbin knew that Liu Xinze was pursuing He Wenlin, but he didn't know the specifics.

Luo Wenbin called Liu Xinze and said, "That girl is really annoyed with you. She probably doesn't really like you. Just give up on her."

"Even virtuous women fear persistent suitors," Liu Xinze said. "Don't you know that?"

"If they're going to call the police and have you arrested, why are you afraid of being pestered?"

"I didn't do anything to her, but this woman is really difficult to deal with, she's so stubborn."

"I've told you before, a shrewd, capable, and strong-willed woman isn't someone you can win over with just a few words. Look at you, you've been pursuing her for so long, and you haven't even had a meal alone with her. Women are exceptionally difficult to deal with, and she's definitely very busy; she doesn't have time for romance."

Liu Xinze remained silent on the phone.

Indeed, he rarely saw He Wenlin. And it wasn't just that He Wenlin didn't want to see her.

He Wenlin had to check on the renovations of two stores at noon, and in the afternoon she had to go to Chunfeng Education and Cake Store No. 1. She would have classes at other times.

I went back to Shaoxing on Saturday. It seems like I've been constantly busy, every single day and every moment.

The phone kept ringing all day, and there were other business engagements as well.

A moment later, Liu Xinze said, "She has two cake shops opening soon. Can you ask your girlfriend which one she'll be going to during the National Day holiday?"

“I heard that Shanshan is going to be transferred to the Lantian Plaza store in Minzhou, and He Wenlin should go to the Yida store.”

"Okay, then I'll go to Yida that day."

"You really won't turn back until you hit a brick wall."

Liu Xinze didn't say anything. Of course, his cousin, a rich second-generation who didn't have to worry about money, wouldn't understand him.

Time flies, and it's already the end of September.

Lin Wei suddenly snapped angrily at He Wenlin: "Now my boyfriend wants to break up with me, are you satisfied now?"

"Are you out of your mind? Your boyfriend broke up with you, what does that have to do with me? I didn't steal your boyfriend, nor did I instigate him to break up with you. And you're taking it out on me? Are you alright?"

"If you hadn't refused to cooperate with him, how could he have broken up with me?"

"How did you even get into university with a brain like that? If he breaks up with you because of this, I think it's the right thing to do. He's not the right person for you! You have no place in his heart at all. You should have dumped this kind of man long ago!"

Chen Xinyi also advised, "Weiwei, I think she's right. The business has nothing to do with you, so why blame it on you? He's just looking for an excuse to split the profits with you."

"But if she agrees to cooperate with Ah Xun, it means I can help him, and Ah Xun won't break up with me, sob sob..."

"I suggest you see a neurologist!" He Wenlin said irritably. "Don't force me to hit you!"
