Extra 75
Qin Man was taken aback. "He has a girlfriend? When did that happen? How come I didn't know?"
A barrage of questions came crashing down on her, seemingly out of curiosity, but in reality, her tone carried a surprise and disappointment that even Qin Man herself didn't realize.
Some feelings are not even apparent to oneself, but when faced with certain problems, one's inner self betrays one's true feelings.
Qin Man was in this situation at the moment. Before Qin Anning said that Yang Jingyu had a girlfriend, she did not think that she liked Yang Jingyu.
But when Qin Anning said it, her heart felt like it had been struck by something, sinking heavily.
She became aware of this emptiness, which led to a look of disbelief in her eyes.
Qin Anning said, "Oh, I only found out recently. Didn't I go on a blind date with him before? He succeeded in his blind date, and the two of them seemed to get along quite well."
"Is that so?" Qin Man replied absentmindedly.
"Yes, so you need to be careful and it's best to keep your distance from him."
Qin Man remained silent, lost in thought.
Qin Anning had already seen through everything, and her smile deepened. "By the way, they're going on a date tomorrow. How about I take you to see them?"
"I'm not going. What's so great about it? Who cares?"
"Okay, then let's not go."
Qin Man was feeling a bit agitated. After walking around the neighborhood for a while, she became too restless to continue and pulled Qin Anning back to the villa.
Yang Jingyu had already secretly left while they were out.
Qin Man was temporarily staying at Qin Anning's place. When she ate dinner that evening, she ate a couple of bites, put down her chopsticks, ran upstairs, and locked herself in.
Qiao Xing frowned. "What's wrong? Is the food not to her liking?"
Qin Anning smiled and said, "No, she broke up with her boyfriend and is in a bad mood."
"When did she get a boyfriend?"
"I don't have a boyfriend, I just broke up with my boyfriend. Never mind, let's eat quickly."
Sure enough, when it comes to matters of the heart, those involved are often blinded by their own emotions. When Qin Man advised her, she spoke with great conviction, but now that it's her turn, she still can't control her feelings.
Qiao Xing was confused by her words and didn't know what the two of them were up to, but it wasn't appropriate to ask too many questions about matters between young people.
Qin Anning returned to her room and sent a message to Yang Jingyu, asking if he had been scolded when he got back.
Fortunately, Qin Man only made verbal threats and did not actually go to her home to spread rumors.
Yang Jingyu asked: Did you really help me win her over?
Qin Anning replied: It's all settled. I told her you have a girlfriend, so she won't bother you anymore.
Yang Jingyu: Huh? It's that simple?
Qin Anning: What else? She's a sensible person, okay? Tomorrow, find a friend or classmate and put on a show for her, okay? I guarantee you won't see her again.
Yang Jingyu hasn't replied for a long time, and I don't know what he's doing.
Qin Anning also put down her phone, took a shower, and saw Yang Jingyu's reply when she came out.
It's an OK emoji.
The next day, Yang Jingyu actually found a friend to act with him and even informed Qin Anning of the time and place.
Qin Anning invited Qin Man to go shopping. Qin Man initially didn't want to go and wanted to pack her things and go home, but for some reason, she agreed.
The two shopped around in various malls for a long time, and Qin Anning wasn't in a hurry. They bought a lot of things.
Qin Man couldn't hold back any longer and asked casually, "Where is Yang Jingyu on a date with his girlfriend?"
Qin Anning glanced at her and smiled. "What, are you interested?"
“I’m not that I’m interested, but we’ve lived together for a year, so we’re practically friends. With his personality, he might get scammed, so we have to keep an eye on things for him.”
"Oh... I see. Okay then. Actually, I also think that girl has ulterior motives towards him."
"Right? Come on, take me to see it." Qin Man grabbed the clothes from her hand, put them down, and pulled her away from the clothing store.
Qin Anning didn't choose a place that was too far away; Yang Jingyu was nearby.
So she took Qin Man to the next street and parked the car in front of a jewelry store. "It seems to be inside."
Qin Man turned her head and saw Yang Jingyu with a girl.
The girl was plain-looking, not ugly, but definitely the kind of girl who would stand out in a crowd.
At that moment, she was holding Yang Jingyu's arm, pointing at the bracelets, necklaces and other items, asking the shop assistant to bring them out so she could have them all.
Although it was impossible to hear what the two were saying, their body language revealed that the girl was being affectionate with Yang Jingyu, and Yang Jingyu paid the bill.
After the two of them finished shopping, they went to browse other places.
Qin Anning followed behind with Qin Man, and soon they arrived at a luxury goods store. The girl went in and bought a watch and a bag.
Qin Man clicked her tongue in amazement. "Wait, what did Yang Jingyu see in this woman?"
"Isn't this great?"
"Is this alright? He's a rich second-generation, no, he's been rich for generations. He acts like he's never seen a woman before. This woman has no looks, no figure, and no class. They've only been on blind dates for a few days, and she's already buying this and that. In just a short time, she's bought nearly seven or eight hundred thousand yuan worth of stuff."
"Isn't this a classic gold digger?"
Qin Anning advised, "Don't talk about him like that. Yang Jingyu likes him, and he hasn't said anything about it himself. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm worried for him! He's definitely been scammed!"
Qin Anning turned her head away, scratched her forehead, and covered the smile on her lips.
Qin Man stood to the side, gritting her teeth in anger, seemingly even angrier than if she herself had been deceived.
Qin Anning cleared her throat and said, "Alright, let's go. You've already given those streamers so much money, so let's not worry about them."
Qin Man let out a heavy sigh. "Forget it, out of sight, out of mind. Let's go."
Yang Jingyu had noticed Qin Anning's car long ago. As soon as he saw the car leave, he immediately pulled the girl next to him out of the store.
"Finally leaving. You can go back by yourself now. I won't see you off." Yang Jingyu's face was full of heartache. He was acting, but the things he bought were real!
The girl next to him, carrying a bag, grinned at him and said, "Remember to come find me next time you need anything. I promise I'll be there whenever you call."
"Alright, just go now! I told you to buy it, and you actually did," Yang Jingyu said irritably.
"If you're going to act, you have to act convincingly. I'm a professional at playing gold diggers, hehe, goodbye!" The girl waved at him, happily carrying a bunch of things and taking a taxi away.
Yang Jingyu pursed his lips, glanced in the distance in the direction where Qin Anning had disappeared, but there wasn't much of a happy smile on his face.
I don't know if it's because I wasted hundreds of thousands of yuan, or for some other reason.
As Qin Anning said, Qin Man did not contact Yang Jingyu again in the following days.
Yang Jingyu was overjoyed, feeling as if the invisible shackles binding him had been removed, and even the air felt much fresher.
Qin Man is also staying at Qin Anning's house for the time being, behaving normally, and showing no intention of going back.
Qin Anning realized that this young lady was too concerned about saving face, and if she didn't do something soon, she might not be able to get over her heartbreak.
She entered Qin Man's room, where Qin Man was playing a game and seemed to be in a good mood, humming a little tune.
Qin Anning was completely bewildered. Had they really gotten out of there so quickly?
She plopped down next to Qin Man and asked, "How long are you planning to stay here?"
Qin Man said without looking up, "What, are you trying to get rid of me so soon?"
"Not really. I initially thought you liked Yang Jingyu and was thinking of coming to comfort you, but it seems I was overthinking it."
"You're overthinking it. How could I possibly like him?"
"Oh, so you don't want to know how things are going between him and his girlfriend?"
Qin Man curled her lip, "Not interested. A woman like that, no need to guess, they'll break up sooner or later."
Qin Anning then realized that it wasn't that Qin Man had come to terms with it; it was that she had never thought highly of Yang Jingyu and his 'girlfriend' and felt that their relationship wouldn't last long.
"What if I told you they're getting married?"
Qin Man abruptly raised her head, staring intently at Qin Anning. "What did you say?"
"Are they getting married?" Qin Anning asked tentatively.
"Is he out of his mind? They've only been dating for a few days and he's already getting married? What kind of spell has that woman cast on him, or has he never seen a woman before?! Is he in such a hurry to marry that woman that he doesn't want to live anymore?"
Qin Anning shrugged. "I don't know. I just heard it. It's not certain."
Qin Man stopped playing games, jumped off the bed, put on her shoes, and went outside.
Qin Anning hurriedly chased after him, "Where are you going?"
"Go find him."
Qin Anning stopped and thought for a moment, then secretly followed them.
Qin Man arrived at Yang Jingyu's door and sent him a message on her phone.
A few minutes later, Yang Jingyu came out and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Man tilted her chin up, looking at Yang Jingyu arrogantly, "I heard you're getting married?"
Yang Jingyu was taken aback, unsure who had spread the rumor, but it must have been Qin Anning. He nodded anyway, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Qin Man was incredulous at his answer. "Are you crazy? What do you see in that woman?"
Yang Jingyu retorted, "What's it to you? My parents haven't said anything, so who are you to tell me what to do? Mind your own business."
"I..." Qin Man suddenly became speechless, unable to speak because he had blocked her way.
"What?! You're not trying to ruin my relationship with her, are you? If you dare do that, I'll never let you get away with it!"
Qin Man glared at him, her face turning red with anger.
After holding it in for a long time, she finally managed to utter, "Who do you think you are? You think too highly of yourself? That's ridiculous!"
"You..." Yang Jingyu was still a little angry, but when he saw Qin Man's red eyes, he swallowed the words he was about to say.
Qin Man stepped on his foot, causing Yang Jingyu to scream in pain.
Qin Man turned and left, while Yang Jingyu spun around in circles behind her, clutching his knees, unable to catch up.
Seeing this, Qin Anning's face showed worry. She hadn't expected them to start arguing.
She rushed to Yang Jingyu's side, "Are you alright?"
Yang Jingyu's face flushed red, and he said angrily, "What kind of person is this! It's one thing to insult me, but to step on me like that? It hurts so much! Who would want a woman like that!"
"You went too far with your words. Even if she's a friend, she's just trying to show you some concern, and you don't need to say such harsh things. Besides, she clearly likes you. She's a proud person, and you provoked her, so of course she got angry."
"I didn't realize that. Even if she really likes me, I'm really unlucky!"
Qin Anning glanced at him. "You really have absolutely no feelings for her?"
No! Absolutely impossible!
"All right."
Qin Anning comforted him for a few words, then took her leave.
Since he didn't like it, there was nothing she could do.
When Qin Anning returned, Qin Man was already angrily packing her things.
"Are you going back?"
Qin Man threw all her things into her suitcase. "Why wouldn't I go back? The thought of seeing certain people as soon as I step out makes me so disgusted I can't even eat!"
This time, Qin Man was really angry. She quickly packed her things, took out her phone, and blocked all of Yang Jingyu's contact information.
Then, satisfied, he picked up his luggage and went to say goodbye to Qiao Xing.
Qin Anning couldn't keep her, so he had to take her to the airport.
Yang Jingyu didn't discover that Qin Man had deleted him until a week later, when Yang Han mentioned Qin Man while chatting with his parents.
When Qin Man came to his house to see Yang Jingyu, he thought the two of them could develop a relationship.
Yang Jingyu then tried to find Qin Man's WeChat Moments to see if she was criticizing him there, but when he opened it, he found that her Moments were gone.
I tried sending a message again, but it didn't go through.
He suddenly realized that Qin Man was going to cut ties with him completely, and they couldn't even be friends anymore.
A strange emotion rose within him.
Then he couldn't help but wonder if he had spoken too harshly last time.
Did I really make Qin Man angry?
Why don't you apologize?
No, no, that's just being a jerk!
Yang Jingyu began to struggle between his left and right hemispheres, engaging in internal conflict for several days.
Qin Anning sent him a message, telling him that she was going to Haishi for a few days to handle matters at the company there.
Yang Jingyu immediately said that he wanted to go too.
As the two sat on the plane, Qin Anning noticed that he seemed much more haggard than before.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so listless?"
Yang Jingyu turned to look at her and said hesitantly, "Qin Man deleted me. You know, she's so petty. She deleted me after just a few words."
"So that's what it is? Shouldn't you be happy? Your reaction is wrong."
Yang Jingyu looked utterly bewildered. "Could it be that I've really been tamed by her?"
He wasn't as concerned with saving face as Qin Man. After a period of repeated internal strife, he began to face his problems squarely.
Qin Anning felt exhausted. "I feel tired just thinking about you two. Why don't you try adding her as a friend?"
Yang Jingyu pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about it. I still don't think I could possibly like her."
Qin Anning took out an eye mask and put it on. "Then take your time to think about it. By the time you figure it out, she'll probably be getting married."
"You're using this trick again, Anning. You've already used the same trick on her."
Frustrated, Qin Anning ripped off her blindfold, took out her phone, opened her photo album, found a screenshot, and handed it to Yang Jingyu so he could see it for himself.
Yang Jingyu leaned over to take a look and saw it was a screenshot of Qin Man's WeChat Moments.
The picture is from a movie theater. Qin Anning is holding a man's arm. The man's face is not shown, but he is dressed in a suit and tie, so he is obviously a man.
Yang Jingyu remained silent after reading it.
"Do you believe me now?"
Yang Jingyu sighed and remained silent.
He seemed even more frustrated.
