#How big of a lie can a man tell to get a woman?#
Xu Zhixi: He lied to you saying he had no money.
Xu Zhixi had no grand ambitions, only pursuing a stable life with "five insurances and one fund," rejecting the melodramatic love stories of the wealthy. Faced with a continuous stream of olive branches from rich second-generations, she consistently rejected every single one.
To make her life more stable, after setbacks in her first job, Xu Zhixi resolutely embarked on the path of taking the civil service examination. However, just as she began preparing, she couldn't resist temptations and started a relationship.
Her boyfriend was a small team leader at a company, not a high position, but he was handsome and capable. Although not from a wealthy family, having lost both parents, he had accumulated hundreds of thousands in savings through his own efforts. More importantly, he was gentle and considerate towards her, meticulously guiding her at work, and never giving her any negative emotions.
Considering all of the above, Xu Zhixi thought: He's the one! When they confirmed their relationship, she righteously declared: "I'm studying for the civil service exam, so you can't ask me to devote too much effort to our relationship. You also can't let colleagues know about us. Also, don't involve me in complex interpersonal relationships."
Song Jing was from a prominent family, with a net worth of tens of billions, yet no girls had ever appeared by his side. Everyone in his circle said he was cold and heartless, only caring about the family business, like an immortal banished from heaven, never to descend to the mortal world.
Until one day, the usually deep-minded, calm, and outstanding man lost control of his emotions and forcefully pulled a young girl into his arms, only to be pushed away with disdain. He wasn't angry; instead, he humbly whispered, "I'm sorry."
Xu Zhixi trembled with rage: "Those rich people aren't your friends?"
"Blocked them, so they're not friends."
Xu Zhixi was so angry she laughed: "Tens of thousands in savings?"
"...A few more zeros can be added after that."
"And what else?"
Song Jing observed her expression, then hesitantly said: "My father is still alive."
