"..."

Zhu Mingyue's silence was deafening.

"..." Zhu Jinzhao pursed her lips tightly, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

How outdated… She stared at the floor beneath her feet, head down, silently complaining to herself.

Fortunately, she was dumped unilaterally, otherwise, a boyfriend like that would have become part of her cybercrime record sooner or later!

Hahahaha, Zhu Mingyue is really suffering because she's been entangled with this kind of person!

"Where is the person who bought the flowers?" Zhu Mingyue gritted her teeth, trying her best to control her emotions and not take her anger out on the innocent deliveryman.

The deliveryman shook his head, looking honest and simple, and said, "I don't know. I took this order on a food delivery platform. The person who placed the order just asked me to deliver the flowers to you and then read the message on the card to you. I don't know where the person who bought the flowers is."

Zhu Mingyue: "Was the person who bought the flowers surnamed Lu?"

The young man thought for a moment and said, "It seems so."

"I knew it..." Zhu Mingyue slapped her forehead in exasperation, then turned to look at Zhu Jinzhao with a complicated expression. "Take the flowers away and tell that guy surnamed Lu I don't want them!"

"That won't do." The deliveryman's arms were getting sore from holding the flowers, so he handed the bouquet back to Zhu Mingyue. "I promised Mr. Lu that I would personally deliver the flowers to you."

Zhu Mingyue frowned in frustration: "I don't want to!"

"You want it?" The deliveryman's smile vanished. He twisted his face, looking pitiful. "Mr. Lu warned me that if I can't deliver the flowers to you, he'll complain to the platform. Every complaint will cost me fifty yuan. I only make forty yuan for this delivery, I can't afford to pay that."

"Miss, please, please accept the flowers. If you need anything, just contact Mr. Lu directly. Don't make things difficult for a working person like me."

"..." Zhu Mingyue was forced into silence.

Her bright eyes narrowed slightly, a layer of boiling anger swirling between her brows, and she turned to look at Zhu Jinzhao beside her again.

"..." Zhu Jinzhao looked up at the sky with a silly expression that said, "I'm just a bystander."

“Okay.” Zhu Mingyue stared at her, reached out and took the flowers in front of her. “I’ll accept them.”

"Thank you!" The delivery guy was overjoyed, his sun-tanned face beaming with a smile that revealed only his white teeth.

"Miss, you're such a kind person!"

Zhu Mingyue said coldly, "You can leave now."

"..." Before she could even say anything, the young man had already turned and run away.

Holding the bouquet of large red roses, Zhu Mingyue turned her gaze away from Zhu Jinzhao, then unlocked her phone with one hand and replied to Lu Yuzhou's message.

Are you out of your mind? Jinzhao is still by my side today, why are you sending flowers in such a big show? Are you afraid Jinzhao won't know?

Lu Yuzhou hid in a corner of the Zhu Group building, peeking at the situation at the main entrance while replying.

—Don't worry, Mingyue. Jinzhao and I have officially broken up. Whether she is here or not will not affect my pursuit of you.

Zhu Mingyue rolled her eyes.

—You just broke up with your boyfriend and then immediately started pursuing me. Do you understand what "seamless transition" means? Stop messing around.

Idiot: I'm not kidding, I'm serious! Ever since I saw you at school, I've known what love at first sight really means. Mingyue, I truly like you.

Zhu Mingyue: Don't like me, I have no interest in you.

Idiot: Impossible! If you're not interested in me, why don't you ever refuse when I ask you out privately? You accept all the coffee and clothes I buy for you.

Zhu Mingyue: That's because...

Because she was up to no good back then; she wanted to deliberately break up Zhu Jinzhao's relationship!

But now she felt it was pointless. She didn't want to meddle in Zhu Jinzhao's affairs, nor did she want to go through the trouble of tearing Zhu Jinzhao apart. Zhu Jinzhao was an incredibly easy target, and she just wanted to play with her, not do the kind of strenuous work of tearing cotton.

Idiot: Why? You tell me!

Zhu Mingyue was speechless: ...

Idiot: Mingyue, you still have some feelings for me, right? You're just afraid of being scolded by Jinzhao, so you don't dare to accept my feelings?

Stupid B: It's okay, Mingyue, you don't need to be afraid at all. Zhu Jinzhao is an imposter; your three brothers will never believe her or care about her again. As long as you insist that we knew each other first and had feelings for each other, your three brothers will definitely not blame you!

...

Zhu Mingyue felt she had absolutely no way of communicating with this kind of man. If she had known Lu Yuzhou would be so persistent, she shouldn't have used that method to hook him in the first place!

Why are you so ordinary, yet so confident? I'm really not interested in you. If my previous meeting caused any misunderstanding, then I apologize to you here.

—I don't like you, so stop pursuing me.

Wow...you're having quite a lively chat...

Seeing Zhu Mingyue's fingers flying across the screen, Zhu Jinzhao chuckled smugly to himself.

But as she laughed, she remembered she still had important things to do—

With such a great opportunity right in front of her, she should immediately shamelessly fawn over Zhu Mingyue and sow discord between them!

Lu Yuzhou went to great lengths to buy such a huge bouquet of flowers in order to win over Zhu Mingyue! She must pour dog poop on this bouquet and shatter Lu Yuzhou's dreams!

"Cough, cough..." She cleared her throat and moved closer to Zhu Mingyue.

Zhu Mingyue turned off her phone, looked up at her, and saw that she was completely overwhelmed with problems.

"Well, Mingyue," Zhu Jinzhao sighed, feigning a troubled and conflicted look, and earnestly said, "As someone who's been through this, I don't mean anything by it, I just want to give you a friendly reminder."

Zhu Mingyue asked impatiently, "What are you reminding me of?"

Zhu Jinzhao: "I've been with Lu Yuzhou for three years, and I know he's not someone you can entrust your life to. Don't be fooled by the sweet illusions he creates."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Mingyue didn't quite understand what she meant.

She pointed to the flowers in Zhu Mingyue's arms and started spouting nonsense: "Lu Yuzhou is an extremely poor and stingy person. Do you think he bought this bouquet himself? Actually, he didn't."

Zhu Mingyue: "If it wasn't bought, then how did it come about?"

Zhu Jinchao kept a straight face and tried very hard not to laugh.

"If I'm not mistaken, this bouquet of flowers must have been stolen by Lu Yuzhou from someone's opening flower basket. He used to do this all the time. Whenever he wanted to give me flowers, he would randomly pick a few newly opened shops, sneak out at night, steal all the few roses, carnations, daisies and the like from the flower baskets, wrap them up in wrapping paper, and give them to me as a bouquet."

"Huh?" Zhu Mingyue's expression changed slightly, and she immediately moved the flower away a little. "But this flower looks very fresh and beautiful. It doesn't look stolen at all."

As she spoke, she examined the flowers in her hand. After a moment, she suddenly looked at Zhu Jinzhao with a suspicious gaze: "Zhu Jinzhao, you wouldn't be jealous of Lu Yuzhou pursuing me, so you deliberately made up this lie to sow discord, would you?"
