"Teacher Ji, Iâve only met him twice in total, twice! How do you expect me to know if he likes you or not? Honestly, Iâd like to ask, how long have you been together? What do you usually do together? How much do you know about him? Why canât you yourself determine whether he likes you?"
After speaking, she walked a few steps away, turned back, looked at Ji Yuzhi, and sighed, saying, "Teacher Ji, you need to ask yourself, why do you want to be with him? After all, marriage is a big deal, especially for women, and you need to be careful. Donât lower your standards just because you feel youâre getting older, and donât choose a man you arenât sure you understand just because of a moment of impulsiveness."
Why is Ji Yuzhi so quick to consider being with Hu Xiangyong?
Is it because of money?
Is it because that man is extremely charming?
Well, she admits, if her intuition wasnât so sharp, if she didnât know who he was, she too would think such a man is full of charm and incredibly attractive to women.
Besides, being able to lay out a fifty thousand price right off the bat is just icing on the cake.
Charm, wealth.
To Ji Yuzhi, it might truly be a fatal attraction.
If it werenât for Chiang Xiao feeling that Ji Yuzhi is genuinely nice, she wouldnât have said so much to her.
She just hopes Ji Yuzhi can calm down and think things through clearly.
Chiang Xiao feels that being with a man like that probably wonât end well.
Ji Yuzhi gazed blankly at Chiang Xiaoâs departing figure.
Even though Chiang Xiao didnât explicitly say it, Ji Yuzhi isnât stupid. She can feel that Chiang Xiao is continuously avoiding commenting on Hu Xiangyong, not even offering half a compliment.
She didnât say bad things about him either.
But itâs clear, Chiang Xiao surely doesnât have a favorable impression of him.
Why is that?
This is something Ji Yuzhi doesnât quite understand.
Back at the airport, Hu Xiangyong was worried about her going home alone at night and insisted on escorting her back, but she refused.
Based on that, shouldnât she feel some gratitude and possibly rate him favorably?
But no.
This time, Hu Xiangyong personally came to the school and even offered such a high price, yet it still couldnât move Chiang Xiao, making her feel impressed by Hu Xiangyongâs generosity?
Itâs really puzzling.
Ji Yuzhi pondered over it endlessly, but when she checked the time, it was nearly time for her appointment with Hu Xiangyong. She tidied up a bit and hurried to Fuxi Restaurant not far from the school.
Hu Xiangyong was already there.
Even though it was just the two of them dining, Hu Xiangyong had reserved a private room.
"Iâm sorry, am I late?" Seeing Hu Xiangyong already waiting inside made Ji Yuzhi feel a bit embarrassed, afraid he might be impatient or unhappy.
Actually, she wasnât late.
"No, I just arrived. I like to arrive five minutes earlier than the agreed time," Hu Xiangyong said.
He eyed Ji Yuzhi briefly.
Today, Ji Yuzhi was dressed beautifully, in a navy collar fitted marine blue dress, paired with black loafers, giving off a subtle elegance.
Thereâs no denying, this woman stands out when she dresses up.
Hu Xiangyongâs gaze deepened slightly.
"What would you like to eat? Iâve heard the food at this restaurant is quite good."
