Gu Liji looked through the chat messages and saw that Ji Xing would send several photos every time he went on a business trip. The photos looked very high-end and showed off his petit-bourgeois lifestyle.
"You don't reject a guy who's so pretentious? You're saving him for your big grocery shopping spree!"
He couldn't help but grit his teeth and complain, anyone who didn't know better would think he was his blind date!
He angrily typed on the keyboard, not knowing what he was typing. Seeing his disappointed look, Cheng Qicai didn't want to say anything to provoke him.
"Alright." Gu Liji tossed the phone back into her arms.
When Cheng Qicai opened her phone and saw the content, she felt a wave of dizziness.
Gu Liji's post read: "[We're not a good match. I can't stand your pretentious act. What are you pretending for, acting like a complete idiot? Posting so many selfies is like an ugly duckling applying rouge—thinking you're beautiful, and then there's that piece of junk you're carrying. If you don't have it, don't pretend. *eye roll*"
no……
Cheng Qicai trembled, though Gu Liji's words deeply pleased her, but...
She's dead meat!
If Ji Xing were to tell the matchmaker that Ms. Yun knew he had insulted her like that, would she even live to see her birthday?
Cheng Qicai grabbed her phone to recall, when a video call popped up from Ji Xing's end.
The hand that was holding down the message button accidentally pressed the answer button, and Ji Xing's refined yet depraved face appeared on the screen.
"Xiao Cai, are you there?" Ji Xing called out to her in a deep voice.
Cheng Qicai awkwardly replied to Ji Xing with a "yes".
Ji Xing's tone was full of tolerance, "Did someone use your phone to send that message as a prank? I don't believe it was you."
“Uh…no,” Cheng Qicai hesitated, then closed her eyes, steeling her resolve, and decided to directly say the rejection, “but I really don’t think we’re a good match…”
Since things have come to this, let's just give up and do whatever we want!
Ji Xing interrupted her, looking at her like a child making a fuss, and asked in the tone of a rational adult, "Why? Did I do something wrong? I know you're still young and may feel intimidated by a life or people of a higher level than yours, but I'm willing to teach you to step into my life..."
Cheng Qicai didn't know what to say. She really, really wanted to rush in and slap him, then flush his brain with toilet cleaner. She felt so disgusted that she wanted to throw up the food she ate that morning.
Gu Liji's insults just now weren't harsh enough!
She calmed herself down and was about to say something when her palms felt empty.
Gu Liji snatched the phone away and saw him say to Ji Xing in the video with great sarcasm: "Heh, you think you're living a high-class life? You can only afford to eat at restaurants where the average cost is a few hundred yuan, wear watches worth thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, go to a high-end conference hall, and take a few photos taken from a distance of tens of thousands of meters. You really think you're a superior person?"
Ji Xing's face darkened at his condescending tone. "No, who are you?"
"Who am I?" Gu Liji put his arm around Cheng Qicai's shoulder, revealing a multi-million dollar watch on his wrist and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cufflinks. He then showed both of their faces in the video and said firmly, "I'm her boyfriend!"
Seeing Ji Xing's discomfitured expression, Gu Liji felt a surge of satisfaction!
He abruptly ended the video call, then smugly patted the sides of his hair and said, "How about that! Pretty respectful, huh?"
Cheng Qicai gave him a thumbs up with deep respect.
Since the facts are already set and I can't escape being scolded by Ms. Yun, I might as well do whatever makes me happy.
Cheng Qicai immediately blocked and deleted him.
“Not bad, you should have blocked this kind of person a long time ago,” Gu Liji then clicked his tongue twice in dissatisfaction. “If I had known this would happen today, I should have brought that watch from the safe. And these cufflinks were cheap too!”
Cheng Qicai kept showering him with compliments, "It's already great, thank you, Brother Gu! Brother Gu is super handsome today! Super handsome, handsome beyond belief!!"
Looking at the two childish people, Lin Fengjie was speechless. "President Gu, is there something you need?"
When Gu Liji was asked this question, he remembered his business and said, "Have the finance department compile this quarter's turnover figures and give them to me by Friday."
Not long after getting home from get off work, Cheng Qicai was indeed bombarded with phone calls from Ms. Yun.
She pretended to be riding her bike on the road and didn't see Ms. Yun's message.
If you can escape for a while, then escape for a while. Escaping is shameful, but it's useful!
But experience counts, and not long after the phone call stopped, a brightly lit message with the moon symbol popped up on the phone screen.
Cheng Qicai nervously opened the message, and a roar came from the phone's earpiece, which she had forgotten to turn down the volume on.
[Cheng Qicai, if you don't answer the phone, don't blame me for coming straight here!!!]
The sound made Cheng Qicai's ears go numb. Her hands trembled as she tapped on Ms. Yun's phone number and dialed back.
"Mom~" she tried to awaken the mother-daughter bond between them with her coquettish voice.
Ms. Yun's voice was completely flat, like the calm before a storm. "No, please just call me Ms. Yun."
As Ms. Yun spoke, she scoffed coldly, "I can't stand being treated like a mother. I told you to have a proper talk with Ji Xing, but you wouldn't listen and even went to insult him. You even told him you have a boyfriend. If you don't bring your so-called boyfriend back by Thursday, you don't need to come back at all!"
Before Cheng Qicai could even open her mouth after the roar ended, there was only a busy tone on the phone.
This wasn't just rain! It was hailstones the size of hammers! Before we could even take cover, we were hit by a barrage of pelts!
A mother's heart is as hard as iron!
On the other side, Gu Rongqi's villa.
"Brother, why are you being so kind as to treat me to dinner today?"
Gu Liji walked into the hall with a nonchalant tone and met the eyes of an elegant couple on the sofa. He immediately dropped his frivolous demeanor.
