134: Chapter 134 A Gathering of Three to Four

"No! This isn't real! You've been deceived, the reporters from the newspaper were also deceived, you've all been deceived!"

If you were to ask who understood Zhao Xiaoshuai best, and we turned the clock back half a month, it would definitely be Chu Ziqing.

His personality, his habits, his bottom line, his family background, even the family backgrounds of his close elders—she knew it all by heart.

His monthly salary, his monthly expenses, and the balance in his bank account—she knew it all clearly.

She remembered clearly that on the day they broke up, Zhao Xiaoshuai's savings didn't exceed fifty-five thousand at most!

Over these past few days, although his appearance had changed significantly, faintly surpassing the peak looks of his university days.

But wealth doesn't change that quickly. How could money be that easy to earn?

She had worked hard to manage things with Shen Lang and the successful man after him for so long, and she had only managed to scrape together one or two hundred thousand.

Seventy million? What kind of concept was that?

Even if Zhao Xiaoshuai had stepped in dog shit and won the lottery after they broke up, how much money would that be?

She snapped back to reality and realized that the intellectual beauty was already gone. She hurried out of the restroom and happened to see that intellectual beauty paying the bill.

And that ex-boyfriend, whom she had kicked away and looked down upon, was standing right there, watching as if it were only natural.

Chu Ziqing had once thought she understood this world, but now she wasn't so sure anymore.

When had she ever paid for her own meals when going out? Why could that girl, who was in no way inferior to her, so calmly rush to pay the bill?

Could it be that her ex-boyfriend had really become so incredibly sought-after that even a woman like that had to lower her status to please him?

She didn't believe it!

Driven by some impulse, she secretly followed the two of them out and saw them get into a black sedan.

She didn't recognize what car it was, but the logo looked like a Mercedes, so she secretly took a picture.

Returning to her seat, her gentlemanly date saw her distracted state and asked with concern.

"It's nothing. I just went out for some air and saw a car. Do you know what kind of car this is?"

The man, who had been calm and collected, saw the photo and showed rare excitement:

"Holy crap, this is a maybach S680! It's a real pity I didn't see it with my own eyes! Qingqing, you're lucky. I estimate there are no more than a single digit number of maybachs with this configuration in all of Chuncheng!"

Although she had tried her best to overestimate the value of the car in her mind, seeing the excitement of the man opposite her made Chu Ziqing feel even worse:

"Is this car that impressive? How much does it cost?"

"The on-the-road price is probably four million!"

"It's more than just impressive. It's not like if you have four million, you can afford to drive a four-million-dollar car. People who can drive a four-million-dollar car have at least tens of millions or more in liquid, freely disposable assets!"

"I'm not talking about fixed assets, but freely disposable liquid assets! A big shot like that probably has a net worth of over a billion!"

Listening to her date's endless explanation, Chu Ziqing became even more despondent.

This was impossible!

Jia Youran didn't mention the scene that happened in the restroom because she had forgotten to ask that woman's name.

She decided not to talk about things she couldn't explain clearly, and besides, she judged that this matter was unimportant.

Driving the maybach, Zhao Xiaoshuai repeated his old trick on Jia Youran, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Do you know the rules for the passenger seat of a luxury car?"

"I don't know."

Looking at Jia Youran's earnest and inquisitive expression, Zhao Xiaoshuai actually felt a moment of guilt.

But after a period of training, his skin had thickened, and he reached out and patted the area near the gear stick in the center.

"What does that mean?" Jia Youran truly couldn't understand and had no idea what the other person wanted to do.

"Stretch your leg over here!"

"Like this?"

Zhao Xiaoshuai shifted gears and then casually placed his hand on her leg, which was within reach, and started kneading it.

Jia Youran's legs were between fleshy and bony, with the typical soft feel of someone who lacked exercise.

The feel was closest to Bai Feng's, though Bai Feng was more voluptuous.

Watching her new boyfriend kneading intently, Jia Youran kindly reminded him: "You'll get points deducted if you get caught by a snapshot camera."

"If you run out of points, you can buy more; if you lose your license, you can retake the test. But if you don't touch a leg for a day, that's a day you've truly missed out on touching it."

Jia Youran actually felt that it made some sense again.

Her new boyfriend would always say things that seemed outrageous but, upon closer inspection, actually had some logic to them.

It was quite interesting, something she had never experienced in her twenty-plus years of life.

"You men, can you get pleasure just from this?"

"What else? How about we do something else in the car?"

"What else can we do in the car? Oh, you mean having sex in the car. Our current level of intimacy doesn't seem suitable for initiating that interaction yet, and that behavior is actually quite dangerous. The inside of the car is a closed environment..."

Listening to Jia Youran earnestly educating him, Zhao Xiaoshuai was once again speechless.

Jia Youran always responded in ways he couldn't possibly imagine.

This feeling... was quite novel.

It made him wonder, when it finally reached that point, would she still be able to earnestly lecture him on physiological knowledge?

Something like "I am now going to experience nervous system excitement combined with muscle contraction"—that kind of feeling seemed weird, yet somehow also a little cute.

After dropping Jia Youran off at home, Zhao Xiaoshuai checked the time. He had to rush back to pick up his Sister-in-law. The fireworks he had promised her today were already prepared.

...

...

"Huh, sister, you're back so early today?"

"I took time off to go on a blind date today, didn't I tell you?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot because I was busy! How was he? Is he handsome?"

"Well, from a physiological perspective, he should be able to meet the generally accepted standard of a Shuaige."

"Wow~ So how are things progressing? For this one, can you give him a chance and let him try to pursue you?"

"We have already confirmed our relationship. Today we tried holding hands and kissing like a couple, and it felt pretty good."

The two sisters had depended on each other since they were young and talked about everything. Jia Youran never shied away from any knowledge, so when talking about these things, neither of them felt anything particularly unusual.

"What! My sister, who was very likely to be single her whole life, has actually started dating a boyfriend! He can accept all of your conditions?"

"Yes."

"Quick, quick, when will you bring him for me to see!"

"Wait until my next day off. When will you bring your boyfriend for me to see? How about we set a time next time to have a four-person gathering; it would be more convenient."

"My situation hasn't even started yet; I haven't finally decided to date him."

After all, she was still a bit conflicted about accepting the fact that he had multiple women.

Jia Youran looked at her watch:

"You're still at home at this time? Is it the late shift today? It's about time, isn't it."

"Ah! Is it that late already? I have to go!"

Watching her sister rush out in a flurry, Jia Youran also felt a bit of anticipation. What kind of man did her sister like?
