101: Chapter 101 The Cursing and Scolding Early in the Morning
"I thought the main switch for your streaming room was in Iraq, taking so long."
"Hehehe, I took a shower while I was at it. Didn't you want to have a heart-to-heart? That's definitely going to take a while, and of course, it's most comfortable to talk while lying in bed."
Zhu Zhuyin immediately rolled her eyes at her.
"Did you receive the money I transferred to you?"
"I received it, Sister Xiao Zhu, you really are like a real sister to me."
"Oh, so I'm only your 'real sister' when I'm lending you money?"
Zhu Zhuyin teased her a bit, then began to talk about what was bothering her.
"Xiao Wenyu, based on my previous chats with Brother Yun Fan, I think I can guess how old he is."
Is that it? She thought her Best Friend wanted to whisper some secrets, but it turned out to be just playing a guessing game about someone's age. Of course, she couldn't ruin the mood.
"So, how old do you guess he is?"
Zhu Zhuyin said, looking a bit distressed.
"At least thirty-four, and possibly over forty. He's almost as old as my dad. Tell me, what should I do!"
Xiao Wenyu looked at her, completely speechless.
"Isn't being in your thirties perfectly normal? He's only a cycle older than you. And aren't 'uncle-niece' romances and 'grandfather-granddaughter' romances popular nowadays? What's there to be so surprised about?"
Zhu Zhuyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing her Best Friend's words.
"Let's not even talk about being in his thirties; I can barely accept that. But over forty? I really can't accept that. If my dad finds out I'm seeing a man like that, he'll kill me."
"What's there to be afraid of? If something really happens later, just let him and your dad handle their own relationship. If your dad is older, he can call him 'little brother'; if your dad is younger, he can call him 'older brother'. He can just call your dad 'Dad'. Isn't that fine?" She started laughing before she even finished.
"Hahaha..."
"Ahhh..."
"Xiao Wenyu, are you sick? I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you!" Zhu Zhuyin shrieked in anger.
Seeing her Best Friend get angry, she finally stopped laughing.
"Alright, alright, let's talk business. Your situation is easy to solve! I have two solutions."
"What are the two solutions? Tell me quickly."
Upon hearing that it could be solved, Zhu Zhuyin asked hurriedly.
Xiao Wenyu then spoke with a serious expression.
"First, just ignore him. You can keep his contact info if you want, or delete it if you don't. If he asks to meet you in person, just pretend you didn't see it. Anyway, you've already earned over two hundred thousand this time, so don't worry about whether he tips you in the future."
Right, I just shouldn't go see him. After hearing her Best Friend's words, Zhu Zhuyin was indeed tempted. She was silent for a few seconds before asking again.
"What about the other method?"
"The second is, his age is something you only guessed yourself. Without meeting in person, nobody knows. Do you understand what I mean?"
"You mean I should still meet him and then play it by ear?"
Xiao Wenyu nodded with satisfaction.
"That's exactly what I mean. If you go and see that he's too old, just consider it a meal to thank him, and then use the excuse of going to the restroom to slip away."
"That method is not bad."
Zhu Zhuyin was quite satisfied too. Then, thinking of something, she stared at her with a smile, saying nothing.
Xiao Wenyu felt a shiver down her spine when she met her gaze.
"You, do you have something else?"
"Nothing else, really. It's just that I'm a bit scared to go offline alone, so you should come with me."
"Ah, I'm not going." Xiao Wenyu immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum.
"Besides, what if I make your Brother Yun Fan unhappy? Wouldn't that be a disaster?"
"There's no disaster or anything. He doesn't even know you. Plus, you can just stay a few meters away from me,"
She paused for a few seconds and added.
"If he isn't too old, I'll have a nice chat with him. If he's too old, that's when you come in. As for whether he looks upset or not, that's none of our business."
Xiao Wenyu thought about it and swallowed hard.
"Can I not go?"
"No, you have to go. I'll cover all your food, drink, and travel expenses for this trip. Regardless of whether it goes smoothly or not, I'll give you two thousand yuan when we get back. You don't have to pay this money back. Just think of it as traveling with me. Not only will you not spend a penny, but you'll also earn money. With such a huge benefit, you should be happy."
Xiao Wenyu couldn't help but mutter: I don't want this benefit. Being a spy for you, I'd rather just sleep at home.
"What are you muttering about?"
Zhu Zhuyin went straight for the trump card.
"Are you going or not? If not, pay me back those twenty thousand."
Seeing the other party bring out the ultimate move, she nodded helplessly.
"Fine, I'll go, okay? On that day, should I go to your side, or you come to mine?"
Zhu Zhuyin thought for a moment.
"I'll go to your side. I'm afraid you, Little Loli, will get lost while traveling. As for the time, I'll notify you later."
"Alright then. Remember to take care of me when we're out of town. Let me have the good food first, let me play with the fun things first..."
"I know, you really act like a kid."
Afterwards, the two chatted a bit more before ending the video call.
Seeing that everything was arranged, Zhu Zhuyin finally turned off the lights and went to sleep with peace of mind.
She had a dreamless night.
The next morning, past eight o'clock, Li Luo finally woke up.
He discovered that the Girl beside him was already gone, and then he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
Still feeling the anger that hadn't completely dissipated, he got out of bed and walked toward the bathroom.
A few minutes later, the sound of the two arguing came from the bathroom, which lasted for a long time before finally ceasing.
"Here, eat more."
As he said this, Li Luo picked up a piece of braised pork and handed it over.
The Girl raised her flushed face and gave him a coquettish eye-roll.
"You're restless early in the morning. I finally regained some strength after sleeping, and you've exhausted it all. I have to attend a class reunion at noon."
"Is it my fault? Someone was yelling louder than me earlier. I was ready to ignore her and turn to leave, but she wouldn't let me."
Xu Wei lowered her head in embarrassment upon seeing this, but cursed inwardly.
What a dog of a man. She had just reached the critical moment, and this dog of a man actually said he was leaving. What else could she do? She could only reach out and take the initiative to find it.
By the time the two were ready, it was already 9:40.
Li Luo drove to Jinlan Mansion again.
Opening the villa door and looking at the spotless new home, Xu Wei nodded with satisfaction. It seems Xinwan is indeed quite responsible.
Because Xu Wei had already called the furniture store while on the road.
So they didn't wait long before the worker delivered the goods to their door.
Looking at the clean floor, the worker immediately spoke up.
"Madam, we'll just go in directly. After installing these beds, the floor will definitely need to be cleaned again."
Xu Wei was just about to ask them to put on shoe covers, but hearing him say that, she thought it made sense. She decided to have Xinwan call some cleaners to tidy up later and just pay them.
