Xiao Jiu said in a serious tone, "Because you are too beautiful and too outstanding, no one is good enough for you."
Hmm, this must be the pinnacle of praise!
Su Xueli couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: Girls should be sweet-talking; it won't do them any harm.
Upon hearing this, Wei Mingshen squinted at Su Xueli and said, "That's not true. I just got dumped by a woman."
Xiao Jiu was shocked and blurted out, "Which woman is so stupid? Is she blind?!"
Su Xueli made an "uh" sound and couldn't laugh anymore.
Wei Mingshen smiled and said, "But that woman doesn't think she's blind. She thinks she's very discerning and is quite proud of dumping me."
"Damn, that woman doesn't deserve a man, not even a male dog..."
"Xiao Jiu, don't talk nonsense. Don't listen to only one side of the story. Maybe that woman has her reasons." Su Xueli couldn't stand it anymore.
Xiao Jiu continued to curse: "What hardship is she talking about? She's given such a stunningly handsome man and she's still not satisfied. Does she think she's one of the Seven Fairies? Bah!"
Su Xueli's eyelids twitched, and she stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Wei Mingshen gave a wicked smile.
Xiao Jiu angrily cursed "that woman" again, then asked curiously, "Brother Wei, who is that woman? Which village is she from? I want to smear mud on her face when I see her, to vent my anger for you."
Wei Mingshen smiled and looked outside. "Forget it, she's blind to have dumped me."
Xiao Jiu said, "Yeah, yeah, what an idiot. But it's good that she dumped you, now you're free, hehe. Um, Brother Wei, what kind of girl do you like?"
Wei Mingshen narrowed his eyes. "Let's see how fate works."
"Don't talk about fate, Brother Wei. Tell me what kind of person you like. Would you like someone who is dark-skinned, fat, and ugly if you were destined to meet them?"
Wei Mingshen instinctively grinned in disgust, then said, "Of course not, that would be too much of a stretch. My type is... someone like your sister Shirley."
Just then, Su Xueli came over from the restroom and overheard his words. She immediately said, "Don't be like Lord Ye who loved dragons but was terrified of them. You won't cherish them once you've got them. Xiao Jiu, you can believe anything in this life, but don't believe a man's words."
"Hey Su Xueli, what makes you think I don't cherish what I have? You try letting me have it and see what happens..."
“Wei Mingshen!” Su Xueli pointed at him.
He immediately narrowed his eyes, nodded, and remained silent.
Xiao Jiu, however, sensed something amiss. She looked at Wei Mingshen, then at Su Xueli, and asked, "Sister Xueli, what about you two?"
Su Xueli said, "We have no romantic relationship, we are just business partners. He has a sharp tongue and likes to get insulted."
Xiao Jiu's eyes darted around, then she said solemnly, "That's good."
Xiao Jiu grinned and cheerfully began cutting the thatch.
Su Xueli shook her sore neck, glanced at her watch, and said, "Xiao Jiu, it's almost time. It's your first day at work, so you might not be used to it yet. You can leave a little early and go for some exercise in the yard."
Xiao Jiu was about to lose her composure. She breathed a sigh of relief, dropped the scissors, rubbed her neck, and complained, "My neck is about to break, Sister Xue Li."
Su Xueli patted her back and praised her, saying, "It's not easy. You sit like a monkey all day, and you've actually been sitting for the whole morning. There are apples on the table. Why don't you eat an apple and go for a walk outside?"
Xiao Jiu glanced at Wei Mingshen, who was intently studying a Tang Monk.
She took an apple, went out to wash it, and came back, offering it to Wei Mingshen's lips, saying, "Brother Wei, have an apple."
Wei Mingshen quickly stepped back, saying, "You eat, you eat, I'm busy."
"You're busy with your hands, not your mouth, so I'll just hold it for you to eat."
"No, no, I'll finish dyeing this one first before I eat it."
"I can't just let you do my bidding, I'd feel uncomfortable doing that. I'm a very considerate person."
"Pfft!" Su Xueli couldn't help but laugh again.
