Xie Yuhan didn't have the courage to continue watching.
Her heart felt like it had been ripped open with a dagger, the pain making it hard for her to breathe.
She ran away in tears. Old Master Xie sighed slightly, then chased after her, eventually catching up with Xie Yuhan downstairs.
Xie Yuhan squatted beside the flower bed, her eyes red and glazed over, looking like she had lost her soul.
Master Xie sighed, then walked straight over and sat down next to her.
Neither the grandfather nor the grandson spoke first, and time passed by second by second.
In the end, Xie Laodao couldn't help himself.
"Xiaoyu, let's go back, it's getting late."
Xie Yuhan shook her head.
"I'm going to wait for him. I want an explanation from him."
Old Master Xie looked at his granddaughter with heartache. He had already seen the look in Mu Wanzhi's eyes when the treasure was being excavated in Qingyun Mountain. He didn't even need to do any calculations. He thought that after bringing his granddaughter here today to see this, she would know to turn back from the wrong path. But he didn't expect his granddaughter to still be so stubborn.
"Xiaoyu, what if he doesn't come down?"
Thinking of this possibility, Xie Yuhan's tears flowed again, but she still held onto a sliver of hope.
"I can't believe he would do this to me. He promised me..."
"A man's words are like a devil's lies; you believe everything he says?"
"Chen Zhe is different, I believe he is different!"
"Alright, then Grandpa will stay with you. You can stay as long as you want, and Grandpa will stay as long as you want."
"Grandpa... I can manage on my own."
Xie Yuhan looked at her grandfather with tears in her eyes. Her grandfather's old age made her feel a little sorry for him.
Old Master Xie patted his granddaughter's head.
"Silly child, how could Grandpa possibly abandon you?"
"grandfather!"
Xie Yuhan could no longer control herself; she stood up and hugged her grandfather.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I know I've disappointed you, but just this once, let me prove it, okay?"
Grandpa Xie patted Xie Yuhan on the back; "Okay, Yuhan, don't cry, Grandpa will always be with you."
Although she said she believed Chen Zhe, Xie Yuhan was still uneasy. She didn't send Chen Zhe any messages. The two of them sat by the flower bed, their eyes fixed on the entrance of the building.
From 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., fewer and fewer people came out, and there was no sign of Chen Zhe at all.
Just when Xie Yuhan was on the verge of despair, she finally saw Chen Zhe and Mu Wanzhi come out of the building.
A black sedan pulled up, and Chen Zhe personally escorted Mu Wanzhi to the car. He didn't go in with her, but stood there waving goodbye.
Xie Yuhan's eyes lit up. She stood up and looked at Chen Zhe in front of her. Her chest heaved with excitement. Chen Zhe and Mu Wanzhi did not choose to spend the night here. Perhaps things were not as she thought.
She took a step forward, wanting to hug Chen Zhe, to snuggle in his arms and act coquettishly, and to tell him that she had been a little jealous earlier.
But just as she was about to step forward, the car door suddenly opened again.
Mu Wanzhi burst out from inside. She was as fast as the wind, ignoring everyone's gaze, and rushed into Chen Zhe's arms, hugging his neck. Before he could react, she left a bright red lipstick mark on his face.
She smiled after the kiss.
"Tonight was unforgettable, see you next time!"
After saying that, she quickly got back into the car and drove off without giving Chen Zhe a chance to speak.
Chen Zhe paused for a moment, watching the car drive away, and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
I wiped the lipstick stain off my face with my hand.
Just as he was about to get into his car and leave, he was suddenly slapped hard on the back.
"You're really lucky with the ladies, kid!!!! It's fucking enviable!!"
Chen Zhe turned around.
He saw that the man was wearing a security guard uniform, had a cigarette in his mouth, and was looking at him with a nonchalant attitude.
That person was none other than his former college roommate, Yu Da, the womanizer in their dorm.
The two had met once before when they visited the East China Sea Pearl Tower. So much time had passed, and they never expected that he would still be working as a security guard here.
"You startled me; I thought it was someone else."
"Chen Zhe, you're making me so jealous! I was already envious of that rich woman you were with before, and now there's an even prettier one. My god, what tricks did you use? How come all these rich women are throwing themselves at you? Teach me, please? I'll kneel down for you, brother!"
After Yu Da finished speaking, he actually looked like he was about to kneel down, but he found that Chen Zhe didn't stop him at all.
He knelt down for a bit and then stood up again.
"Why didn't you stop me? Did you really want me to kneel down before you?"
Yu Da's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.
Chen Zhe smiled.
"You're the biggest heartthrob in our dorm, how could I possibly teach you? That woman was just a close friend of mine, not what you think."
"Really?" Yu Da was a little skeptical.
He looked Chen Zhe up and down with his eyes.
"Is what you're wearing real or fake?"
"It's rented, 1000 yuan a day, just for showing off occasionally."
"Huh? Hahaha, really?"
"certainly."
"But the rich woman you brought before didn't seem to say that..."
The rich woman Yu Da was talking about was Chen Si, who had previously held the same position and had been thoroughly looked down upon by him.
Thinking of Chen Si, Chen Zhe felt a little sad, but he didn't want to tell the person in front of him his innermost thoughts.
"That's my sister too. She only said that to save face for me."
Chen Zhe's words made Yu Da feel a little better.
He changed his tone abruptly, and his chest immediately puffed out.
"Oh, I knew it! I knew you weren't that good. Back in the day, you were just more conscientious as a lackey. When it comes to picking up girls, I'm the better one. Let me tell you, brother, I've recently caught the eye of a rich woman. She keeps begging me to be with her, and I'm hesitating whether to say yes or no."
Yu Da touched his chin, looking conflicted.
Chen Zhe feigned surprise: "Wow! A rich woman, how old are you?"
Yu Da looked a little embarrassed.
"Not much older, only 3 years older."
"Oh, isn't that great! Don't hesitate, just agree!"
"Three years older than my mom..."
"Forehead……"
Chen Zhe was speechless for a moment.
Chen Zhe had met Yu Da's mother before. She had visited his dormitory when they were in college. She was 60 years old at the time, and Yu Da was his late-life son.
"Chen Zhe, don't make that face. It makes me look like I'm in a terrible situation. Although she's a bit old, she has romantic feelings for me, unlike your so-called 'sister-brother' relationship. She said if I'm with her, I can get a lot of money, a huge amount of money!!!"
His mouth was wide open, and his expression was exaggerated.
"How much?" Chen Zhe asked casually.
"You'd be terrified if I told you!"
Yu Da held up two fingers.
"This number!"
He looked at Chen Zhe smugly.
"Twenty million?"
Chen Zhe asked.
The number Chen Zhe mentioned startled Yu Da so much that he dropped the cigarette from his mouth.
"Holy crap! You're kidding me, aren't you?"
"You were the one who held up two fingers and said it was a large sum of money."
"I... guess a little lower..."
"Two million?"
Yu Da; "..."
"Even lower?" Chen Zhe asked.
"Could it be 200,000?" Chen Zhe felt that the number was too low and unlikely.
Yu Da noticed the slight disdain in his eyes.
I felt somewhat dissatisfied.
"You think 200,000 is low? Kid! Two hundred thousand!! Not a dollar!! It's ten thousand! And it's a one-time payment. 200,000 is an amount that many people can only dream of. You earn 4,000 a month. You would have to save for four years without eating or drinking. That rich woman only asked me to spend a year with her. Isn't that better than you?"
"Um...you're right, haha, then just say yes."
Yu Da's expression became conflicted again; "I was going to agree, but I just saw a girl I really like. She's absolutely gorgeous. When I compare her to that rich woman, I feel like I'm losing out. With my dashing image, chasing after a beautiful woman is a piece of cake. Giving up a young and beautiful woman, and even a whole forest of options, for a rich woman in her sixties is a deal that's really making me conflicted."
Chen Zhe rolled his eyes inwardly.
He replied perfunctorily, "Is that woman beautiful? Where is she? I'd like to see her."
"It's right over there, let me point it out to you, that girl looks so innocent... wait, where did she go? She was just here a moment ago? How did she disappear in the blink of an eye?"
Yu Da scratched his head, puzzled.
Chen Zhe shrugged. "Since it's gone, I'll go back now. Let me know next time you find it."
"Hey, don't run away! Do you think I'm lying?"
