Before Wu Xiaoru could react further, Lin Yanran coldly scolded her.
"Since when is it your place to lecture my boyfriend?"
"It was you who went on a blind date first, leaving Little Shan heartbroken. I’m not afraid to tell you that I have been pursuing Little Shan for quite some time, but he has principles. Because of you, he always kept his distance from me. This time, I should thank you, as your departure brought me and Little Shan together."
"Also, you look down on Little Shan, but I believe it won’t be long before he proves with his strength that you were blind."
At this moment, Wu Xiaoru felt deeply bitter and mournful inside.
Considering where Lin Yanran stood, how could she dare to fight back?
"How is it possible, how could such a noble young lady fall for Zhang Xiaoshan, how could it be, is there something remarkable about Zhang Xiaoshan that I don’t know of?"
At this time, Wu Xiaoru was inwardly questioning her own choices.
Zhang Yulian on the side also felt a bit regretful.
If Zhang Xiaoshan had nothing impressive to offer, why would a young lady like Lin Yanran pursue him for so long? Could it be that she had really misjudged this time?
The expressions on everyone’s faces were a picture of fascination.
Zhang Xiaoshan secretly thought that Lin Yanran was really immersing herself in the role, he was almost convinced himself.
At this moment, although Zhang Xiaoshan was feeling relieved, he was also worried about someone finding a flaw in his act, and even more so because he didn’t want to entangle with the Wu family anymore.
He took Lin Yanran’s hand, intending to leave.
"Your, your bag..." The owner of the small restaurant was terrified and hurriedly handed Zhang Xiaoshan’s canvas bag to him.
Due to the owner’s trembling hands, the canvas bag fell to the ground.
A thick stack of renminbi spilled out of it.
More than two hundred thousand yuan scattered on the ground.
Zhang Yulian’s eyes lit up like a greedy ferret. Latest content publıshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
The restaurant owner quickly bent down to pick it up.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, you, you clearly have so much money. Why wouldn’t you give my mother an extra two hundred thousand? Is it really that hard for you to come up with an extra twenty thousand for my sake?"
Seeing the money, Wu Xiaoru was first shocked, then angry.
Zhang Xiaoshan was so angered that he laughed. He was not going to tell Wu Xiaoru the truth.
"This was your own choice, what does it have to do with me?"
"Just now, you were mocking me that if I left you, I’d not find a woman who likes me. But what about now?"
"I am wealthy, and I just don’t want to give it to you, so what? Because you’re not worth that price."
After saying that, he took the canvas bag from the small restaurant owner, took Lin Yanran’s hand, and strode out of the restaurant, unwilling to even glance back at Wu Xiaoru.
"No, this can’t be real, this can’t be real?"
Wu Xiaoru was so upset she burst into wails of crying.
"Mom, our family didn’t just miss out on a golden opportunity, did we?"
Wu Yong was also somewhat bewildered at this point.
Zhang Yulian’s countenance was extremely ugly, and she was at a loss for words for a long while. When she finally managed to speak, she said,
"He, he must have just caught the fancy of that rich young lady. She will play with him for a couple of days and then soon enough, she will dump him. That money must be hers, it definitely can’t belong to that poor kid Zhang Xiaoshan."
"Little Long is the real catch for our family."
Seeing Lin Yanran leave, Wang Xiaolong swelled with arrogance again.
"Hmph, a prominent family like the Lin family would never accept a poor kid as their son-in-law. He, he is just bluffing for a couple of days, and there will be a time for me to deal with him soon."
"Right, right, right..." Wu Yong vigorously fanned the flames from the side.
"Brother-in-law, you are a notable figure in Qingshan Town, you can’t let that kid walk all over you."
"Hmph, as if you needed to tell me that, damn, today was just bad luck."
Wang Xiaolong, with a painful face from the beating, was in no mood to continue the blind date with Wu Xiaoru, especially after recalling Zhang Xiaoshan calling Wu Xiaoru a ’worn-out shoe’. Feeling uncomfortable, he covered his face and left dejectedly.
No matter whether he sought revenge on Zhang Xiaoshan later, today he had completely lost face.
Zhang Yulian followed him for a while, all the way out of the restaurant, but he didn’t give her any attention.
Wu Yong spoke with some concern.
"Mom, do you think Mr. Wang might not want to date my sister anymore?"
"Tomorrow, Little Yue is coming over to our house. I promised to help her raise money to buy a house in the city. Now that today’s plan is ruined, where am I going to find the money for her?"
Zhang Yulian was also somewhat helpless.
"If I had known that kid Zhang Xiaoshan was so rich, we should have taken it slow, sigh, but no matter, with my daughter’s beauty, Mr. Wang won’t give up easily. Besides, it’s not just the Wang family that’s rich in Qingshan Town, I’ll think of something to help you."
Meanwhile, Wu Xiaoru was like someone possessed, simply continuing to cry and wail.
Zhang Xiaoshan and Lin Yanran left the restaurant and turned down a deserted alley.
"Aren’t you going to let go?"
Zhang Xiaoshan wanted to keep walking but heard Lin Yanran’s shy voice from behind him.
Turning his head, he saw Lin Yanran, who had been pretending to be indifferent, now blushing immensely, biting her lip gently with an irresistibly tempting expression.
The alley was empty, with no one around, and the air felt somewhat charged with tension.
Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart pounded fiercely. Suddenly, he felt the urge to pin Lin Yanran against the wall...
