Nie Zhen'er was a little surprised when she saw Wen Mu.



She recognized Wen Mu, but she was confused about Wen Mu's current state.



For some reason, Wen Mu was wearing a cheap suit and smiling gently at her. Yet a strong agenda peeked through his smile, as if he wanted something from her.



Nie Zhen'er could be sure that Wen Mu recognized her, however he didn't call her name directly. Nie Zhen'er guessed that something happened in the Wen family, causing Wen Mu to not want to recognize her out of inferiority.



Nie Zhen'er smiled lightly at Wen Mu, "Thank you, I need to head to the bus stop outside." Since Wen Mu wanted to pretend to not know her, she didn't need to tear apart his self-esteem.



It’s not a bad idea to treat each other as strangers.



Wen Mu held an umbrella for Nie Zhen'er, and the two walked into the continuous rain curtain together.



When they reached the bus stop sign, Wen Mu closed his umbrella and took out his phone to add Nie Zhen'er's WeChat account.



Nie Zhen'er seemed to understand the meaning of his actions as a realization suddenly flashed through her clear almond eyes and she took out her mobile phone from her bag.



"Let me scan you." Nie Zhen'er said with a smile.



Wen Mu didn't expect this progress to go so smoothly. He hurriedly clicked on his QR code and handed the phone screen to Nie Zhen'er, thinking in his heart: Nie Zhen'er was worth more than 100 million credits! He must earn this money!



Nie Zhen'er made a “huh” sound and said, "Your QR code doesn't seem to be right, it should be like this." After finishing speaking, she quickly tapped on the screen of Wen Mu's phone and then took out her phone to scan it.



He only heard the sound of a "ding!" as the QR code was scanned successfully.



Wen Mu took back his phone and waited for Nie Zhen'er's friend request. After another two seconds, the phone voice broadcast: "WeChat payment arrival: two hundred yuan!"



Wen Mu: "... …" There seems to be something wrong.



"You… …" Wen Mu raised his head in astonishment to look at Nie Zhen'er, only to see a bus stopping. Nie Zhen'er quickly patted his shoulder, "Cheer up, don't be knocked down by life," then she ran onto the bus.



As the bus started, it left behind a trail of exhaust gas and Wen Mu's changing face, kicking the trash can bitterly.



"I- F*ck!" That was shameful!



Nie Zhen'er must have thought that he dropped her off at the station for money. Although he did do it for money, he needed the hundred million, not this two hundred!



Wen Mu stared at the transfer information on the phone screen, fuming in anger.



Where does he look like he was short of two hundred dollars?!!



The shiny metal station reflected Wen Mu's infuriated appearance. Wen Mu accidentally glanced at it and saw his cheap suit… …



The first thing Nie Zhen'er did when she got on the bus was to take out her phone to send Luan Qing Xiao a text.



Zhen: Qing Xiao! Do you remember the TV series we watched last night?



Qing Xiao: What TV series?



Luan Qing Xiao was currently in a meeting and took the time to reply after receiving the WeChat.



Zhen: The one where the male lead wants to pursue the female lead and approach her by holding an umbrella for the female lead on a rainy day!



This time without waiting for Luan Qing Xiao's reply, Nie Zhen'er's messages continued in a stream



Zhen: Today was lightly raining, right? When I just came out and walked to the door to get my umbrella,



Zhen: A man suddenly appeared with an umbrella and said he wanted to escort me.



Zhen: I thought he wanted to pursue me… …



Zhen: But the way he looked at me was like looking at a pile of money.



Zhen: Do you know who he was? Wen Mu! He was wearing a cheap suit and seemed pretty bad off. I speculate their family may be bankrupt.



Zhen: Thinking that he used to be a rich young master, but now is so poor, in the moment I relented and agreed for him to send me to the stop sign.



Seeing these, Luan Qing Xiao understood what was happening. It must be the male lead pretending to be impoverished to gain sympathy in order to get close to Nie Zhen'er. She must expose the male lead’s true face.



Qing Xiao: The Wen family didn’t go bankrupt.



Nie Zhen'er saw the message sent by Luan Qing Xiao and was so surprised that she deleted the words she had typed.



Zhen: Ah? … …I thought he escorted me for money. He even gave me his WeChat QR code, and I transferred him two hundred dollars… …It’s over _(:з」∠)_. Wen Mu won’t be angry, right? 



In the Hong Ye Group conference room, Manager Wu was reporting on the completion of this stage of the project. Originally, Luan Qing Xiao put her phone under the meeting table to type, which they didn’t pay attention to. However, just as Manager Wu had finished the report, Luan Qing Xiao suddenly laughed audibly.



Manager Wu was immediately broke into a profuse sweat. He touched his forehead nervously and said cautiously, "President Luan, what advice do you have?"



The others also immediately sat down.



Because Luan Qing Xiao always had a composed expression, they had never seen her smile like this in the company. Luan Qing Xiao's smile at this time must be one of mockery!



Only Special Assistant Liu, who stood behind Luan Qing Xiao, knew the truth: their unsmiling President Luan was laughing because of her chatting on WeChat!



Hearing his words, Luan Qing Xiao raised her head and smiled in a good mood, "Manager Wu did good, let’s move on to the next one."



After the meeting, Luan Qing Xiao's sudden laugh at the conference has spread in the company, causing the staff to gossip all about it.



"What can change a calm and self-sufficient person? Love ah! President Luan must be dating someone!"



"I also think so. Managing a meeting but couldn’t help but laugh when thinking about your loved one is simply too normal. Who knows who President Luan’s boyfriend is? I heard the tycoon tends to join forces, so it must be the president of another company."



"Sigh, that cliche isn’t popular now. Besides, does our President Luan need a marriage alliance? I guess President Luan's boyfriend must be a little fresh meat that knows how to please women!"



"What are you talking about?" Fang Zheng Feng, the head of the Publicity Department, walked in with a stern face. "When at work, everyone must be at work. Did the company hire you guys just to chat and gossip?"



The gossiping female staff members immediately dispersed.



Fang Zheng Feng was not only the head of the Publicity Department, but also a shareholder of the Hong Ye Group as well as the helper Luan Ze and Ling Ya left for Luan Qing Xiao.



After Luan Qing Xiao completely took over the Hong Ye Group, Fang Zheng Feng would report the company's situation to Luan Ze every month.



This month’s report time has not arrived yet, but Fang Zheng Feng had taken the gossip of the female employees just now. He was now thinking about how to reveal the matter of Luan Qing Xiao’s suspected relationship to Luan Ze. What if Luan Qing Xiao was really tricked by a moneyless little fresh meat who can only sweet talk?



Fang Zheng Feng then called Luan Ze when he returned to his office.



Ever since Luan Ze had problems with his heart, he moved with Ling Ya to live in Country J. The couple raised flowers and took walks every day. As his mood improved, Luan Ze's illness also improved and there have been almost no more issues with his heart.



Luan Ze and Ling Ya had just finished their lunch and were planning to go out for a stroll before taking a nap when they returned.



Right after Luan Ze changed his clothes, his phone rang.



"Who’s called?" Ling Ya asked.



Luan Ze glanced at the memo, "It's Zheng Feng."



"Why did he call half a month in advance this time? Couldn't it be something happened to Qing Xiao?" Ling Ya worried.



Luan Ze patted her back, "Don't worry, I’ll ask Zheng Feng."



Once the phone connected, Fang Zheng Feng first greeted Luan Ze and Ling Ya. Next to Luan Ze, Ling Ya held his sleeve and urged him to quickly ask what was going on.



Luan Ze nodded and said with a smile, "Zheng Feng ah, why did you call me so early this month?"



Fang Zheng Feng said, "Actually, this is a matter related to Qing Xiao..."



"What's wrong with Qing Xiao?" Ling Ya snatched over the phone.



"Don't worry, Madam, Qing Xiao is fine. It's just that during the meeting this morning, she suddenly laughed in front of everyone. Later on, I overheard people in the company all say that Qing Xiao must be dating someone."



"That’s a good thing ah." Ling Ya couldn't help laughing.



"It is a good thing, but I listened to their analysis saying that Qing Xiao's boyfriend is probably a sweet talking little fresh meat. Think about it, these type of men generally have no money. I’m afraid Qing Xiao will be deceived by him, which was why I called to talk to you."



"It might necessarily be a liar. Maybe the two people really love each other. This is the first one that could make Qing Xiao laugh in public. Our family doesn't care about the family background as long as he can treat Qing Xiao well."



"But Zheng Feng, your concerns aren’t wrong. We’ll call and ask Qing Xiao later."



After hanging up the phone, Ling Ya said to Luan Ze, "Qing Xiao is dating someone!"



Luan Ze beamed from ear to ear, "This lass, doesn’t even tell us two that she’s dating."



"Qing Xiao must be embarrassed to tell us. Say if Qing Xiao gets married this year, won’t we be able to hold our grandson soon next year?"



"I don't care if the man has money or not, just as long as he treats Qing Xiao well. Since Qing Xiao is busy with work, once their child is born, let's return to China and help her with the baby? Okay?" Ling Ya was as excited as a child, "Qing Xiao's baby must be extremely cute."



"You ah, Qing Xiao only just started dating and you already thought of them having a baby." Luan Ze said, "Let's call Qing Xiao and ask her now."



Luan Ze and Ling Ya sat on the sofa, while Luan Ze found Luan Qing Xiao's phone number from his contact list and pressed the dial key.



Luan Qing Xiao was currently chatting with Nie Zhen'er. After receiving the call, she explained to Nie Zhen'er: My dad’s calling, let's talk later.



Answering the phone, Luan Qing Xiao greeted, "Dad, how is your health lately? Where’s my mother?"



"Good, good, everything’s good." Luan Ze was originally a serious man. Ever since he no longer managed the company, his whole person has become amicable.



"Qing Xiao ah, you’re not that young anymore. Have you thought about dating anybody lately?"



Ling Ya held her hands together and waited for Luan Qing Xiao's answer.



"Dating?" Luan Qing Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Dad, did Uncle Fang tell you something?"



"Your Uncle Fang? Of course not. Qing Xiao, why would you mention Zheng Feng? Could it be that you’re hiding something from me?" How could Luan Ze be that easily duped in giving out his intention to Luan Qing Xiao?



"You've already exposed yourself. Stop pretending, your acting skills are far worse than my girlfriend."



"What pretending? And you’re even comparing your dad to your girlfriend? ... …Girlfriend?" Luan Ze's brain suddenly short circuited, "What girlfriend?" Zheng Feng clearly said it was a little fresh meat. Why did he suddenly become a female? When did Qing Xiao start to like girls? Although she has never shown that she likes boys, shouldn't the average girl like boys?



Without warning and changing to a girl, where would he get his grandson?



"In all seriousness, she’s not my girlfriend... … She's an ordinary female friend and an actor. I was joking with you just now, I’m not dating anyone." Luan Qing Xiao glanced at the message that Nie Zhen'er had sent her.



Zhen: Don’t tell your parents about our relationship yet, let’s wait until I meet their standards as your future partner ^_^



Luan Ze and Ling Ya both let out a sigh of relief, "Naughty girl, all you know to do is to tease your parents."



" You and my mother don't need to worry about finding a partner for me. When there is a suitable candidate, I will definitely tell you guys."



When Luan Qing Xiao returned home that evening, Nie Zhen'er had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her.



Luan Qing Xiao hugged her waist and pecked her, "Today was too thrilling, I almost spilled the beans. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. Baby, how are you going to reward me?"



Nie Zhen'er's face turned red, "I’ll give you a kiss."



Luan Qing Xiao pushed her luck. She leaned closer to her ear and uttered in a low voice, "I want to do this this and that tonight, you have to cooperate with me."



Nie Zhen'er immediately smacked her in embarrassment, but her mind recalled the feeling last time. Her body subconsciously became so sensitive that even Luan Qing Xiao's hand on her shoulder felt a little scorching.



"If you don't speak, I’ll assume you agreed." Luan Qing Xiao thought of the benefits she’ll receive that night and the exhaustion disappeared from her body. She reached out to pick up Nie Zhen'er and placed her on the chair in front of the dining table, "Today you don't need to move at all, I'll feed you."
