Chapter 30. Low-profile version of the hero
Jiang Li turned around and saw that they were also stunned for a moment. Then she seemed to understand something. She threw the remaining tissue in her hand to Zhang Haoyu and rushed out with a dark face.
Ruan Tang saw him looking at her and hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to chase him out, Jiang Li suddenly pushed the door open and came back. She punched Zhang Haoyu on the shoulder in dissatisfaction and shouted: I thought you were so kind, but it turns out you are taking advantage of me.
When other people in the sauna room saw this, they thought it was a quarrel between a young couple, so they quietly left.
Xu Wei couldn't help but feel a headache: Why is their family so violent? She stood up and stepped forward to stop them.
"What a coincidence." Xu Wei put on a fake business smile and pulled her away from Zhang Haoyu.
Not sure if she was blaming Jia Yingjun for embarrassing himself in public and becoming a trending topic, or if she was simply furious, Jiang Li replied unhappily: "Unfortunately, if I must say it's a coincidence, then it's just clever and cunning." She didn't forget to glare at Zhang Haoyu after saying that.
In fact, Jiang Li was angry not because Zhang Haoyu used her as a wingman, but because he used her as a wingman and kept her in the dark, especially when she was unprepared to meet the public enemy of their family, Xu Wei. Of course, here she preconceived that she represented her entire family.
The four of them found a place to sit in the rest area. Xu Wei went to get four ice creams and put them in front of each person like a kindergarten teacher, sighing: We used to have to queue up here, but there are so few people today.
There was still a ball of toilet paper stuffed in Zhang Haoyu's nose, and the edge of the white paper ball was slightly stained red. He thanked Xu Wei obediently, like a lovable big puppy.
Jiang Li still refused to give her a good look. She just turned her head away and glared at Zhang Haoyu again: Mr. Zhang, just show off your money skills and show off the same attitude you showed me just now.
Zhang Haoyu desperately winked at her before Jiang Li leaned back in her chair and stopped talking.
Xu Wei was surprised: You booked the whole place?
Zhang Haoyu looked embarrassed: Not really, I just bought a set meal when I came and asked the boss not to sell tickets for today.
Ruan Tang looked calm and composed at this moment, but in fact she was on pins and needles. This feeling was a bit like the night when Jia Yingjun jumped out of the window. For her, the only thing in the world that would make her feel insecure more than meeting her ex-boyfriend with her bare face and greasy hair would be being "honest" with the man she had once had an affair with without wearing a bra.
She came back to her senses and happened to meet Zhang Haoyu's gaze. The moment their eyes met, his eyes quickly bounced away as if burned.
His reaction was noticed by Jiang Li, who sneered and said sarcastically: What a loser! I always thought this was just nonsense written in brainless youth novels and TV dramas. Are you worthy of the teachers in the hard drive?
Zhang Haoyu immediately retorted: Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t!
Ruan Tang asked: Are you here to see me?
Zhang Haoyu scratched his head embarrassedly: I saw your Weibo post, and the text said that some roads are destined to be walked alone. I thought you were alone so I wanted to pretend to run into you by chance...
Xu Wei turned her head to look at Ruan Tang, only to see her laughing and crying: "I just wanted to post a selfie and put a random caption on it. Don't you think about how I could possibly come to the sauna alone?!"
"I thought you broke up with him!" Zhang Haoyu argued confidently, "Women always do things that are incomprehensible when they break up."
Xu Wei:?
Jiang Li:?
"Why are you staring at me all day long instead of cooperating with your aunt in the palace fight? Has your stepmother been found?" Ruan Tang held his forehead helplessly.
Xu Wei leaned close to her and asked in a low voice: Who did you break up with?
Jiang Li was more direct and punched Zhang Haoyu again: "It's okay to be a dog licker, but why are you also a spare tire? How cheap!"
"We'll talk about this later," Ruan Tang replied quietly, then turned to look at Zhang Haoyu and said, "Did you know that your father left me his contact information the other day? I don't need to analyze what this means, right? If he knew you were entangled with me, he might kick you out, and then all his property would be left to your stepmother's children. Are you afraid? So, Auntie advises you to be a good girl. If you want to fall in love, go find another girl."
Zhang Haoyu moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not open his mouth and lowered his head with a look of disappointment.
Jiang Li, his wingman, didn't bother to pay attention to him. She turned her head and looked at Xu Wei with her chin in her hand, sighing: Aunt Xu Wei, you look good today.
Xu Wei could hear the sting in her words and smiled: If you feel calm and comfortable, your complexion will naturally improve.
Jiang Li nodded. "Sleep must be good, right?" Alas, my uncle isn't so lucky. He's been coming home late every day lately. My grandma says he's visibly thinner. Who would have thought the culprit was here, enjoying life so leisurely?
Xu Wei asked knowingly: "Why? Are you in a bad mood because you lost the bet?"
Jiang Li was choked and speechless, and her big eyes were puffed up and stared at him like a pufferfish.
Ruan Tang didn't have the energy or the will to continue dealing with this group of young people, so she stood up and pulled Xu Wei away, smiling sweetly and saying: You two have fun, the old ladies are not physically fit and can't steam for too long, so we're leaving first.
After returning home, Ruan Tang had no time to study any development plan. She downloaded the dating website's app from behind the counter and made up her mind to spend 1,288 to buy a one-month platinum membership.
As she filled out her information online, she called Xu Wei: "What's your bra size? 75A? Oh, I saved the money I'd spent on my AOP treatment this month to get you a membership. I'm trading my beauty for your happiness, aren't you touched?" Answer me now, what? You have a vagina? Do you and your partner prefer sleeping on your left or right? What about your sleeping habits? Oh, and I need you to describe your past relationships in a few hundred words. Ummm... This is probably all known online, but just in case these elites don't read gossip, send it to me ASAP...
As they were talking, the door of the shop suddenly opened. Ruan Tang subconsciously looked up and said, "Welcome." Seeing that it was Feng Xue carrying two boxes of wine, she immediately closed the webpage as if feeling guilty.
Seeing that she was on the phone, Feng Xue waved to her as a greeting, and then put the wine into the refrigerator and wine cabinet respectively.
Ruan Tang thought about it, reopened the dating website page from the history record, and said to Xu Wei: That’s it for now, hang up.
After Feng Xue sorted out the drinks and took a bottle of ice soda to the counter, he glanced at Ruan Tang's computer intentionally or unintentionally, saw the big logo of the dating website, and asked: Aren't you learning editing and researching the store opening diary recently?
"Learning is a long-term process. The more I look at it, the more I realize that there is no rush. There are still many things to learn. I have been thinking about what my mother said these past two days. In this era, it is also applicable for women to get married first and then start a career. As for me... I can't let her worry all the time. This matter still needs to be put on the agenda." Ruan Tang sighed.
Feng Xue pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: That's right, this way my aunt will feel more at ease.
Ruan Tang gritted her teeth and smiled, "Is that so? I spent two thousand yuan on a premium membership, and it's really working. I just met this elite guy from Central, an Ivy League graduate with a Master's in Metalworking, who works as an M...MD at a Hong Kong investment bank and says he plans to develop his career in Beijing.
Surprisingly, he remained rational and objective, analyzing the situation for her: "From what I understand, financial elites in Central who become MDs generally don't easily shift their focus to the mainland market. Furthermore, whether they're looking to meet women or find a marriage partner, they generally don't go through dating websites... There are so many online dating scams these days, so you'd better be careful..."
Ruan Tang clenched her fists, mentally telling herself to stay calm. She looked up and saw Feng Xue staring intently at the TV mounted on the wall. The TV was broadcasting the news: Recently, relevant departments issued a key inspection notice, cracking down on illegal fundraising, financial fraud, and other illegal activities...
Ruan Tang quickly picked up the remote to change the channel, deliberately turning up the volume and muttering to herself, "What's going on?! They're playing economic news out of the blue. It's so inconsistent with the style of our store!"
She hurriedly opened her favorites and selected a movie from the playlist. It was Stephen Chow's "A Chinese Odyssey". The TV automatically jumped to the last playback point. Fairy Zixia said: My lover is a peerless hero. One day he will come to marry me wearing golden armor and riding on a colorful cloud.
Ruan Tang was watching TV with her face in her hands. She couldn't help but sniffling. When she came to her senses, she found that Feng Xue had already walked out of the store and was sitting on the motorcycle. When he saw her looking at him, he smiled and waved at her before stepping on the accelerator.
She thought to herself: Wearing an old T-shirt and riding a motorcycle can be considered a low-profile version.
Not long after he left, Ruan Tang suddenly received a WeChat message from him: The coffee shop is currently on the rise, so it’s best not to close it casually. If you want to meet your blind date, you can make an appointment at the pub in the evening.
