“If I knew it would be like this, I would’ve asked you to drive the Honda minivan instead. After all, that car is much bigger than this one…”


  Liusu was still resentful at the fact that I borrowed the car from Mo Fei. After hearing this, her face that had just calmed down suddenly darkened again. I couldn’t help but whisper to Shu Tong, “Are you done complaining or not? Didn’t I say it already that It will be fine.”


  “How can it be fine?” The idea of using Mo Fei’s car was originally supported by Shu Tong, so she regretted it a lot and kept blaming herself. Then she noticed an extended luxury car coming in our direction. Her eyes were filled with envy. It was as if she really wanted a swap car with other people, “unless you have some other idea?”


  “Of course I have!”


  What I said was just an angry talk, in actuality, I also didn’t know what to do. But what I didn’t expect was that the extended luxury car did not look for a parking space, but steadily parked in front of us.

  Shu Tong jokingly said, “Are you telling me that this is your idea? And you hired this car?”


  Under the dim lights of the parking lot, the smooth maroon car’s body seemed to be developed by a layer of misty light. The driver who got out of the car was a woman. A woman who I had never met before. Seeing the woman look at me, and hearing what Shu Tong said, I blushed and said, “Of course not…”


  “I’m sorry, Mr. Chu, there is a traffic jam on the road. I’m sorry to keep you waiting for a long time.”


  This was not a very pretty, but very comely woman. She walked around from the front of the car, opened the door, and looked at me with a smile. Yes, she was looking at me. I was so shocked that I couldn’t even complete my sentence.

  My surname was Chu, and I was also a ‘mister’, but I was still not sure if she was talking to me, “Are you… calling me?”


  “Mr. Chu, this is not the occasion for jokes,” As her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, the woman ‘reprimanded’ me very gently, and then said to Shu Tong’s parents, “Those three must be Miss Shu’s family members, right? I’m really sorry, Mr. Chu has already told me, but I’m still late…”


  “It’s okay,” Women naturally like to compare. In front of a woman who was dressed in the custom-made suit, Shu Tong’s mother felt a little embarrassed, and Shu Tong’s father was afraid to even look her in the eyes, “Little Chu, this girl… I mean, this lady is…”


  I also wanted to know who she was, and I believed that Liusu wanted to know who she was more than I did…


  “My name is Min Rou, Mr. Chu’s secretary. Auntie, you can call me Xiao Rou or Rou Rou.”


  My secretary? Liusu, Shu Tong, and I were all stunned. I was just a little office clerk who could not even be regarded as a senior white-collar worker, but I had a female secretary driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom. What kind of joke was this? !

  “Mr. Chu, you forgot your watch on the desk. I brought it here for you.”


  While I was still in shock, Min Rou grabbed my hand and helped me wear a shiny golden watch on my wrist. Although I didn’t know much about watches, as a white-collar worker who loved material wealth, I often read fashion magazines, so I could still recognize the brand of this watch. It was an Omega watch!

  Not to mention Shu Tong’s grandma, who didn’t know anything about our plan, even Shu Tong, Liusu, and I were also confused by this woman’s natural and realistic acting. Her words and deeds were exactly like that of an attentive and considerate female secretary, so that the two women completely forgot the fact that I was not ‘Mr. Chu’ at all but just ‘Chu Nan’…


  “Wait, what are you doing?” I broke away from her soft little hands, and while trying to remove this watch that was obviously not mine, I lowered my voice and asked vigilantly, “who are you?”


  “It doesn’t matter who I am,” Min Rou blinked playfully, and said softly in a voice that only I could hear, “The important thing is that this is the Third Lady’s instruction.”


  I was stunned as soon as I heard what she said.

  …


  The Rolls-Royce leading the way stopped at the entrance of Great Waves Seafood City. After giving the car key to the parking valet, Min Rou replaced the bellboy to open the BMW door for me with a sweet smile.

  “This place… wouldn’t it be too expensive?” Shu Tong’s grandma glanced at the palace-like decoration inside through the glass door and wanted to drag me away. “How much would it cost to eat a meal in such a place? Boy, Grandma is not picky, let’s go home and eat at home.”


  Although I was very worried along the way, I didn’t forget about the original plan at all. With my gilded tongue, I made the old woman very happy along the way. I had to thank my stepmother for this. Because when I was still a child, I often made her very angry, and her punishment for me would always be asking me to say sweet words to coax her; so gradually, I became more and more shameless, and I would not blush easily when saying flattering words. Originally, it was a form of punishment, but after my stepmother got used to teasing me, it actually became her habit. Because of this, even until now, she would also ask me to say sweet words to her to coax her from time to time.

  And facts had proved that sweet words were effective on women of any age…


  “Grandma, don’t worry, it’s not that expensive. Mr. Chu is a frequent visitor here, and we can get discounts on the final bill.”


  Min Rou was a typical person who would have no problems telling lies if it didn’t affect her. At the end-of-year dinner of the investment department, I once came to Great Waves. I still remembered that a table of meals at that time was more expensive than a month’s living expenses for me and Chu Yuan. If I was a frequent visitor here, I would’ve already gone bankrupt!

  The luxurious elegant room was jaw-dropping. Not to mention that the family members of Shu Tong who were dressed like typical countryside people, even I, who was dressed in a suit that cost several thousand yuan, also felt very uncomfortable eating here.

  From the fact that the waitress always called Min Rou “Miss Min”, I was even more determined that this young girl was not an ordinary girl. Probably, she was a real frequent visitor here.

  Being relatively unfamiliar with the menu, I handed the responsibility of ordering food to the ‘caring’ ‘little secretary’. With the excuse of going to the bathroom, I quickly hid in the bathroom and dialed Mo Fei’s number.

  “Fei Fei, is Ziyuan with you?”


  “Yeah, what’s the matter?” On Mo Fei’s side, it was very noisy, “We are eating in the canteen…”


  “In the canteen?”


  “Yes,” Mo Fei said and then lowered her voice before saying, “I was going to invite her out to eat, but she refused and insisted on eating with colleagues in the investment department… Chu Nan, you… wouldn’t blame me, right?” There was a strange sense of nervousness in her tone.

  “Why would I blame you?” I didn’t know whether I should laugh or cry, but at the same time, my heart also couldn’t help but skip a beat. Mo Fei was worried that I would misunderstand that she had neglected Xiao Zi. It felt like a wife was worried that her husband would blame her for neglecting his friend. In the past, I would only think that Mo Fei was trying to tease me, but from her recent behaviour, I could tell that she started to get more and more serious about her relationship with me. It made me very worried…


  “As long as you don’t blame me,” Mo Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and as if she had just noticed that there was a problem with her words, there was a trace of embarrassment in her tone, “do you want to talk to her?”


  “No,” I subconsciously refused, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: “… has she been with you the whole time?”


  “Yes,” Mo Fei would show a trace of embarrassment when she noticed that her tone was too intimate, but when she deliberately wanted to use an intimate tone, she would not feel embarrassed at all, “She is your friend, so of course, I have an obligation to entertain her for you. What? You don’t trust her or you don’t trust me?”


  This woman…


  “She… Did she have any strange behavior…”


  “Strange behavior?” Mo Fei seemed to realize something. She got up and walked away to the corner and said, “She didn’t have any strange behavior, But your behavior is quite strange, Chu Nan, why are you asking this?”


  I knew that even if I wanted to hide it, this kind of questioning attitude would not be able to fool the shrewd Mo Fei, so I simply asked, “after I left the company, did she make any phone call?”


  “It seems like she did, but I am not really sure,” Mo Fei replied vaguely and then grumbled, “Who would pay attention to this kind of thing? Chu Nan, what is going on? Isn’t she your friend? I also want to ask you about your childhood sweetheart, who is she really? !”


  ‘Who is she really?’ I wanted to know the answer to this question more than anyone…


  “Let’s talk about it later. By the way, don’t tell Ziyuan what I asked you just now. If she asks you, just say that I ask you to help me entertain her. I have something else to do on my side. I need to hang up now.” Before Mo Fei spoke, I quickly hung up the call.

  The people who knew that Shu Tong’s parents came to Bei Tian city and I needed to pretend to be her rich boyfriend, except for Dong Xiaoye, Yao Wan’er, and several other people in the general operation team, there were only Mo Fei, Ziyuan, Long Shan, and Mo Yizhi who just heard of it from me not long ago. And more importantly, only those four people who had the ability to make such a big show…


  Only when I got out of the toilet cubicle, I saw a beautiful figure standing in front of me and staring at me.

  I pretend to be calm and ask while washing my hands, “Do you also want to use the bathroom? You came to the wrong section. The women’s bathroom is on the opposite side.”
