"Huh? Are all these people that young master Zhang's?" Hai Mingyue looked at the formation in the distance without fear, but rather with a hint of excitement, and asked Li Jia softly.
A Ferrari, two Z4s, four Porsches, and two BMW 750s filled the entire road with this luxurious lineup. Each car had a handsome young man leaning against it, and behind each car stood a line of nearly a hundred people, all in matching white suits, standing with their hands behind their backs. And in the very center of the Ferrari, leaning against the back, was none other than the famous playboy Zhang Xiaogang, the young master.
Li Jia slowly parked the car in front of the luxurious lineup and got out. "Young Master Zhang, quite a grand display. You're really willing to spend money on this, aren't you?" Li Jia said with a smile, glancing at the luxurious lineup behind Zhang Xiaogang. Clearly, this lineup was prepared in advance, and it was even possible that it had been rehearsed many times.
"Hehe, Li Jia, Ming told you, right? Leave Hai Mingyue as soon as possible. She's mine. Today I'll show you what the ultimate level of womanizing is. Just stand aside and watch. No woman I set my sights on can escape my grasp." After saying this to Li Jia, Zhang Xiaogang, holding a bunch of yellow roses, walked to the white Passat and bowed slightly to Hai Mingyue inside the car. "Mingyue, please come out for a moment. I have something to say to you."
Zhang Xiaogang's voice was surprisingly gentle, and his gaze towards Hai Mingyue was filled with sincerity, even giving Hai Mingyue the thought that this man genuinely liked her. However, when Hai Mingyue saw Li Jia smiling behind Zhang Xiaogang, she immediately dismissed the idea, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed open the car door and got out.
"Mingyue, please accept my love for you!" Zhang Xiaogang finished speaking and immediately knelt on one knee. The hundred or so burly men behind him, who had been hiding their hands behind their backs, brought them forward as he knelt, each holding a bouquet of fiery red roses. They then ran towards Zhang Xiaogang and Hai Mingyue in order of proximity, placing their roses on the ground as they reached them. In a short while, Hai Mingyue and Zhang Xiaogang were surrounded by roses in a heart shape. Zhang Xiaogang held his yellow roses high, and in his other hand, he held a necklace that shimmered brilliantly in the night. "Accept my love for you, Mingyue!"
It has to be said that Zhang Xiaogang's move was quite effective. He directly expressed his love for Hai Mingyue, then arranged roses into a large heart shape. Amidst the fiery red roses, a large bouquet of yellow roses stood out dazzlingly. Coupled with the valuable diamond necklace in his hand, any woman in this situation would probably be powerless to resist.
Hai Mingyue, being a woman herself, was somewhat bewildered by Zhang Xiaogang's sudden actions. A large bouquet of yellow roses, a stunning diamond necklace, and the seemingly vanished crowd—all of this stirred a wave of excitement within Hai Mingyue, even giving her a fleeting thought of accepting his offer. This time, however, it was Li Jia, standing not far away, whose gentle smile evoked a strange warmth within her. It was a sign of absolute trust. Otherwise, anyone else would likely have panicked long ago.
Looking at Zhang Xiaogang's sincere face, Hai Mingyue slowly shook her head after a long while. "I'm sorry. I can't accept you." After saying that, Hai Mingyue turned around and stepped on the roses on the ground, returning to Li Jia's car, leaving Zhang Xiaogang looking astonished and disbelieving. This method had always been successful for him; even the most popular female singer had fallen into his arms because of it. But today was the first time that Zhang Xiaogang's rose offensive had failed.
"Not bad." Li Jia approached Zhang Xiaogang, glanced at him, and said calmly. Before Zhang Xiaogang could react, Li Jia had already gotten into her car, started her Passat, and slowly drove past the convoy of luxury cars. Behind her, Zhang Xiaogang's face was contorted in rage. He casually tossed aside the expensive necklace in his hand and watched the Passat drive away. "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" his harsh voice echoed on the road. Soon, the convoy of luxury cars parted ways and disappeared from the street.
Li Jia, however, turned on the music in the car and drove slowly. "Why didn't you stop him?" Hai Mingyue asked, looking at Li Jia's almost unchanging smile.
"Do you need it?" A simple answer, and the two smiled at each other. Many tacit understandings are formed without words, just like what had just happened.
At the entrance of the Bayi Apartment, before Hai Mingyue got out of the car, Li Jia asked her with a smile, "Were you tempted just now? Did you have the thought of simply agreeing to his proposal?"
"Just a little bit more." Hai Mingyue pretended to think for a moment, then nodded in reply. After speaking, she smiled, opened the car door, and got out. A voice drifted over from afar, "Just a little bit more! What a pity!" "Hehe, get some rest!" After giving her this advice, Li Jia turned the car around and returned to the dry cleaner.
The email came from Koyama Yari, who had never spoken to Li Jia before. After the inspection, she left Li Jia an email with a very brief message: "Your shop is very clean, I like it very much, I will come again if I have the chance." That was all.
After reading the email, Li Jia closed her eyes and rested for a few minutes. Then she opened her eyes, turned off the computer, took out the last bit of plastic explosive, about thirty grams, from the drawer, put it in her pocket after thinking for a moment, went out and got into her car. The one in the car had already been used up last time. Li Jia put the last one in the car's ashtray, then turned around, got out of the car and went back to the store.
