Chapter 185 Jealousy at Work



Tao Nianqiu was very tempted; she didn't even know what an 800-yuan watch should look like.

Even just a glance would be enough.

For Wen Yuan, there is no woman who doesn't like expensive things.

Even if Fu Linchuan opened a shop, so what if the watch costs 800 yuan?

Would he be willing to spend 800 yuan on a watch for Xu Chunmai?

Xu Chunmai felt disgusted. She couldn't understand why Yu Wenyuan insisted on coming every day when she had clearly refused.

"I don't need it."

Yu Wenyuan was also surprised, as Xu Chunmai hadn't accepted the things he'd given her a few days ago.

He thought those things were cheap, and that if he exchanged them for something more expensive, Xu Chunmai would be tempted and would accept them.

You know, many families can't even earn 800 yuan a year, yet Xu Chunmai didn't even glance at it.

Tao Nianqiu wanted to see what the watch looked like, but Xu Chunmai wouldn't take it at all; she couldn't see it at all.

Xu Chunmai tossed out a few words and continued walking past Yu Wenyuan.

Yu Wenyuan didn't pick him up this time.

He fell into deep thought. Could it be that even 800 yuan couldn't sway Xu Chunmai?

Unexpectedly, this woman has a big appetite.

Tao Nianqiu tugged at Xu Chunmai's sleeve, "Chunmai, did I hear that right? An 800-yuan watch? I've never even heard of one."

Xu Chunmai said, "I don't like anything that costs any amount of money."

She only liked the gifts that Fu Linchuan gave her.

Tao Nianqiu pretended to be very innocent and said, "Chunmai, I'm really not as noble as you, you know? I would be content if you let me see an 800-yuan watch."

Xu Chunmai looked at her and said, "Let's study hard, and after graduation we can work and earn money. We can buy whatever we like ourselves. Or we can find a lover who is compatible with us and has the same aspirations to buy it for us."

Tao Nianqiu looked at Xu Chunmai and said, "Eight hundred yuan, Chunmai. After we graduate and start working, will we be able to earn eight hundred yuan a year? As for finding a man to marry, I'd like to, I'd like to find someone who can spend eight hundred yuan on me. The problem is, where are such men so easy to find? Think about it, would your partner be willing to spend eight hundred yuan to buy you a watch?"

Thinking of Fu Linchuan, Xu Chunmai smiled and said, "Of course he's willing to give me everything he has. He's willing to give me the best of everything."

Tao Nianqiu found Xu Chunmai's smile extremely irritating.

She simply couldn't believe that Xu Chunmai's lover could afford an 800-yuan watch.

The two hadn't walked far when Yu Wenyuan vaguely heard their conversation.

At that moment, Xu Chunmai's smile went straight into his heart.

Why should a woman like that be Fu Linchuan's wife?

However, the female classmates around Xu Chunmai seem to be a breakthrough point.

This woman clearly loves money.

Xu Chunmai and Tao Nianqiu had just arrived at the school gate when Fu Linchuan's car stopped there.

Fu Linchuan parked the car and got out. "Why did you come out? Didn't I say I'd pick you up downstairs at your dorm?"

Xu Chunmai looked at him and said, "Nianqiu was going out to buy something, so I came out with her a little earlier."

Tao Nianqiu was dumbfounded.

Xu Chunmai's lover actually drove this car.

So, the person who came to pick up Xu Chunmai at the dormitory entrance that day was also her lover?

Xu Chunmai's family actually owns a car?

All of this impacted Tao Nianqiu's mind.

Xu Chunmai is beautiful, has a man who loves her, and her family is wealthy.

She simply couldn't understand why such good things kept happening to Xu Chunmai.

"Nianqiu, we're heading back now. See you Monday."

Tao Nianqiu, with an innocent look on her face, waved her hand with a smile, "Okay, see you on Monday. I'm praying for you, that you won't see that disgusting man again on Monday. Have a great weekend."

After hearing this, Fu Linchuan indeed asked, "What disgusting man?"

Tao Nianqiu was immediately startled, seemingly realizing his mistake belatedly, "Ah, Chunmai, did I say something wrong?"

Xu Chunmai felt that Tao Nianqiu was acting strangely today.

She replied casually, "It's nothing, see you on Monday, don't overthink it."

Fu Linchuan didn't ask any more questions. He closed the car door for Xu Chunmai and got into the driver's seat himself.

Soon, the car started and drove off.

Tao Nianqiu watched the car drive away before she smirked smugly.

After the car drove away, Xu Chunmai said, "Dachuan, didn't you think Tao Nianqiu was acting strange today? She's usually so quick to talk and says whatever comes to mind. I don't think I should care, but just now it felt like she was deliberately saying it to you."

Fu Linchuan said, "In my experience, she's not acting normally. Has Yu Wenyuan come to see you again?"

Xu Chunmai nodded. "Yes, just now at the dormitory entrance. He came to give me something again. Today he said it was an 800-yuan watch. I ignored him and came out."

Fu Linchuan smirked. "Eight hundred yuan? He's really generous. But there are watches that are much more expensive, why did he only buy one that costs eight hundred yuan?"

Xu Chunmai was very worried. "Dachuan, you know, he keeps coming to see me, which is a very bad influence. I have clearly refused, but he still insists on coming, and he even makes an excuse to introduce me to a job."

Fu Linchuan thought for a moment, then said, "I'll handle this."

"By the way, Tao Nianqiu, who just came out with you, did she see the watch that Yu Wenyuan gave you for eight hundred yuan?"

“Yes, she just told me that she would be content just to see an 800-yuan watch,” Xu Chunmai said.

Fu Linchuan pondered, "You should stay away from Tao Nianqiu in the future. I'm not trying to be malicious, but I just feel that Tao Nianqiu's way of speaking to me just now was probably an attempt to sow discord. There's no such thing as malice without a reason, but there are certainly malicious people who act without cause. Maybe she's just jealous of you, jealous that someone gave you an 800-yuan watch, and jealous that your man, me, drives a car."

"Huh?" Xu Chunmai trusted Fu Linchuan a lot. "You're definitely better at judging people than I am. I always thought she was just straightforward and said whatever came to mind."

Fu Linchuan said, "It's probably just appearances. She came alone on the day of registration. This girl is probably not as simple as she seems. Who knows what she might do in the future. You're in the same dormitory, so try to avoid each other."

Xu Chunmai nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

On their way home, Fu Linchuan and Xu Chunmai returned to the school gate after buying some things, where they were stopped by Yu Wenyuan.

"Your name is Tao Nianqiu?"

Tao Nianqiu swallowed hard and nodded.

"You're Xu Chunmai's roommate, right? I need your help with something. If you do a good job, I'll pay you two hundred yuan. But on the condition that you keep it a secret."
