As soon as the words left her mouth, the young technicianâs hands were trembling with excitement.
She cautiously observed Jiang Lai, who seemed to be enveloped in a halo of holy light, so noble and untouchable.
"Are you really not kidding?"
"I donât like to waste words. If youâre willing, just wait outside."
"I am willing! Of course, Iâm willing!"
Youâd be a fool not to be!
It turns out rich people can truly be so capricious!
The young technician left excitedly, and before leaving, she applied a face mask on Jiang Lai and turned on the music, speaking respectfully.
"Just let me know if you need anything. Iâll be waiting outside."
The entire conversation was overheard by Zhao Zhaozhao.
She wanted to interject several times but hesitated repeatedly, finally blurting out one sentence.
"Jiang Lai, donât you think this is too much?"
Jiang Lai, relaxed and at ease, treated her words like nonsense and replied leisurely.
"What do you mean?"
"How did you advise me before? To be independent and not spend a manâs money. I listened to you and worked hard at the sales office to achieve my current financial independence.
But look at yourself, spending a manâs money extravagantly, completely forgetting what you once said, right?
Or were your words only meant for me?"
"Did you not want to spend it because of my advice, or you simply couldnât?"
Zhao Zhaozhao felt choked up by these words, almost losing her breath.
"Fu Lihan isnât that stingy with me! Iâm advising you as a friend not to lose yourself. No matter how well he treats you, he wonât publicly acknowledge your existence, let alone marry you. Are you fooling yourself like this meaningful? You and he arenât even in the same world, all this now is just an illusion. Youâll regret it once youâre sober!"
What a speech from the main heroine!
If only she could do as she preached.
Zhao Zhaozhao thought these words would wake up Jiang Lai a bit, but Jiang Lai casually replied.
"How would that be possible? That man has already taken me home to meet his parents. They really like me and even bought a new house next to mine, calling me daily to check in.
He and I are already a family, so whatâs wrong if I spend some of his money?"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhaozhao burst out laughing.
"Jiang Lai, I thought you were just losing yourself, but it turns out youâre beyond help.
Keep these fantasies for bedtime. Our conversation ends here, and Iâll never interfere in your relationship life again."
Jiang Lai was still indifferent.
This composure and confidence left Zhao Zhaozhao feeling like a cat scratched her heart, very uncomfortable.
"Do you still have something to say?"
Jiang Lai was resting with her eyes closed, waiting for Zhao Zhaozhao to finish and hang up herself.
The other person clearly had no intention of hanging up and instead began to ask her questions.
"Iâve been feeling down lately. Do you know where I am?"
"I donât know and Iâm not interested."
"Youâll never guess; Iâm in a place only the two of us know.
I had a fight with Fu Lihan. Although youâre not clear-headed now, I know clearly that Iâm not worthy of him, so I donât want to continue like this.
But heâs very obsessed, refusing to let me go no matter what. He even said heâd stay with me even if the sky fell.
You know, I really love him... but we canât just keep dragging this out.
So Jiang Lai, if he comes to find you, please donât tell him where I am.
Please, Jiang Lai, this time you have to help me. No matter what, I wonât soften and go back."
While Zhao Zhaozhao spoke, she cried. Just listening, it was indeed quite touching.
Two people in love unable to be together.
If it were someone else, they might soften, but unfortunately, Jiang Lai enjoyed hearing such stories.
When other girlsâ childhood memories were filled with princes and white horses, Jiang Lai inexplicably liked the witch in the forest.
Living freely and most importantly, enjoying eating children.
Although Jiang Lai herself was a child, she didnât like kids and fantasized all day about when she could become a witch, riding a broom to catch children and making stew out of them.
Such a twisted childhood created such a twisted her.
Hearing Zhao Zhaozhao cry didnât irritate her; instead, she found her crying quite creative.
Like a cat mimicking a mosquito.
"Jiang Lai, youâll help me, wonât you?"
"Of course, youâre right. Although Fu Lihan isnât much, compared to you, youâre indeed not his match. His fiancĂ©e is highly educated, from a prestigious family, beautiful, and smart. To be honest, as your friend, you donât compare at all.
While youâre young, earn more money and fully embrace independence and self-reliance!
Donât worry, Iâll definitely help you. If you want, I can ensure Fu Lihan never finds you.
But he wonât look for you forever; heâll probably just go back and marry once two or three months pass without news.
Hang in there, do not show up in the next two or three months."
"..."
Zhao Zhaozhao ended the call, hanging up decisively.
Jiang Lai paid no mind and continued to enjoy herself.
Didnât she not want to be entangled with Fu Lihan? Well then, Jiang Lai would reluctantly lend her a hand.
Once she left the beauty salon, Jiang Laiâs car was followed.
The driver was sent by Lu Zhixing, experienced and calm.
"Miss, someone is following us. Do you want the bodyguardâs car to get rid of them?"
"No need, just keep driving, head towards that golf course on the east outskirts."
The driver complied and continued towards the suburbs.
The car behind maintained a moderate distance, neither near nor far.
Upon reaching the golf course, Jiang Lai directed her car inside.
The Lu Family had a private area there, complete with dedicated caddy services.
When Jiang Lai arrived, all she needed to do was hand over the card Lu Zhixing provided.
The manager personally greeted Jiang Lai, and she was ferried directly to the field.
Once inside, four bodyguards stood guard at the entrance, verifying the identity of anyone trying to enter.
Under a clear blue sky, the lush green grass was pleasing to the eye, with a light floral scent carried by the breeze.
Beside, the field had regular entry requirements; one could enter to experience it by paying an entrance fee.
Across an artificial lake, Jiang Lai lounged on a chair soaking in the sun.
A caddy stood beside her with golf clubs worth tens of thousands, sunbathing alongside. The sun was quite blazing, standing still was uncomfortable, but it was much better than running to fetch a ball hit dozens of meters away.
They preferred guests who didnât play at all, the best clients for them.
"If youâre not playing golf, what are you doing here?"
Such private clubs charged by the minute, lounging there and lounging on money made no difference.
