Childhood sweetheart? I'd choose a rich woman!

Chapter 27 Showdown

Go and call Ye Jingyao, and the three of them will go out for dinner.

Watching her best friend skip and hop along, and then glancing at the confident and composed man, Ye Jingyao asked with a smile, "Did you two go look at some nice cars today?"

"Look carefully, the deposit has been paid."

Su Jie smiled and nodded, "I've scheduled to pick up the car in five days."

Ye Jingyao asked curiously, "What kind of car did you buy?"

Shen Ruoxuan quickly answered, "It's Volkswagen!"

"public?"

Ye Jingyao had no doubts. "That car is economical and practical, not bad at all."

Shen Ruoxuan said without changing her expression, "It's because it's economical, practical, and durable."

Having somewhat grasped what was going on, Su Jie gave the girl a half-smile and said, "Actually, the masses are pretty good too."

"hey-hey--"

Shen Ruoxuan's face flushed slightly, and she gave a silly laugh, "That's just how it is!"

Her best friend was a bit neurotic, so Ye Jingyao asked, "What are we having for dinner?"

Shen Ruoxuan readily agreed, "It's my treat tonight. You can eat whatever you want!"

Ye Jingyao shook her head, "I'm not picky, I'll eat anything."

Shen Ruoxuan then turned her gaze to the man, "What would you like to eat?"

Su Jie said, "We'll be traveling by car tomorrow, so let's eat something light."

Shen Ruoxuan blinked. "Seafood?"

Su Jie shook his head. "I ate yesterday, I don't want to eat today."

Shen Ruoxuan pondered for a while, and finally her gaze fell on a sign not far away—

Stir-fried vegetables, grilled fish, dry pot, pig's trotters!

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her: "I know a place that serves really good pig's trotters, I'll take you there!"

Ye Jingyao had eaten at "Fuqin Night Market?"

Shen Ruoxuan nodded, "Let's go to Fuqin Night Market. There we can not only eat pig's trotters, but also other snacks."

Su Jie, who had also been to the Fuqin Night Market, reminded him, "We're going on a trip tomorrow, so don't eat anything random today, or you might get diarrhea."

Instead of driving, the three of them took the subway to Fuqin Community Station.

Amidst the lively atmosphere, the Fuqin Night Market is already bustling with activity, with many diners carrying their favorite snacks and delicacies.

Heading straight to our destination—the vibrant red pig's trotters!

It's a very simple shop name, belonging to a small, unassuming eatery on the street, but it has become known to more people with the rise of the Fuqin Night Market.

"Boss, three pig's trotters, please!"

Shen Ruoxuan called out familiarly, and the boss responded in a friendly manner.

"Little sisters, please find some seats, we'll be right there!"

Finding a table to sit down, Shen Ruoxuan took three pairs of disposable chopsticks. "The pig's trotters here are so tender they fall off the bone, and they don't have any strange smell at all. They're especially delicious."

Do you guys eat ice cream?

It was a bit hot, and Su Jie looked at Mixue Ice Cream not far away. "I'll treat you to ice cream that costs two yuan each."

Shen Ruoxuan nodded, "I'll eat!"

Ye Jingyao shook her head, "My stomach isn't very good, so I won't eat."

Shen Ruoxuan spoke up for her best friend, "Just buy her a cup of room temperature milk tea."

Watching the man go to buy ice cream, Ye Jingyao leaned close to her best friend and whispered, "Are you going to sleep with him tonight?"

Shen Ruoxuan blinked, feigning composure, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Seeing that her best friend was still pretending, Ye Jingyao deliberately put on a stern face and said, "If you don't tell the truth, I'm going back to school right now, and you can go have fun by yourselves."

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

Shen Ruoxuan knew that her poor acting skills had been seen through. "I'll tell you when we get back after we eat."

Ye Jingyao nodded. "You'd better tell me the truth, or I'll teach you a lesson!"

That man is definitely not a sister!

I bought two ice creams and a cup of milk tea, and they still tasted the same.

It has a faint, cheap creamy flavor, but it's icy cold and very refreshing.

The pig's trotters were also good; they were very clean, and the dipping sauce was especially fragrant.

After dinner, the three of them strolled around the night market, took a walk, returned to Chunxi Road, and then parted ways.

I'm going out to play tomorrow, so I'll go to bed early tonight.

As soon as they returned to the hotel, Shen Ruoxuan was pinned to the bed by Ye Jingyao. "Tell me honestly, what are you hiding from me?"

Shen Ruoxuan raised her hands in surrender, "Don't mess with me, I'll tell you myself."

Ye Jingyao let go of her best friend. "Then you tell me."

Shen Ruoxuan's face flushed red. "I think I might like him a little."

"he?"

Ye Jingyao stared at her best friend, "Your colleague?"

Shen Ruoxuan blinked and nodded, "Mmm!"

Ye Jingyao said, "When we first met, we made a promise that we wouldn't date anyone in college and that we would take the postgraduate entrance exam together."

Shen Ruoxuan pouted, "I didn't pass the exam."

Ye Jingyao rolled her eyes. "I told you to study hard, but you didn't. Who can you blame?"

"After so many years of studying, I'm exhausted."

Shen Ruoxuan sighed, "I'm not as capable as you."

Ye Jingyao asked, "Do you really like him?"

Shen Ruoxuan nodded, "I like it!"

Ye Jingyao knew her best friend's criteria for choosing a partner: "Does his family own a fully paid-off apartment within the Third Ring Road of Chengdu?"

Shen Ruoxuan shook her head. "No."

"So what is it about him that attracts you?"

Ye Jingyao asked curiously, "You actually gave up the standards on your own initiative?"

She tapped her fingers and whispered, "Although he doesn't own a house in the Third Ring Road that he pays for in full, he has the ability to buy one there."

Ye Jingyao stared intently at her best friend, "What kind of car did you go look at this afternoon?"

Shen Ruoxuan's voice became even softer, "Maybach S480, 1.6 million!"

"You lie to me one minute, saying he's a sister; the next minute you lie to me, saying he went to buy a Volkswagen."

Sitting up, Ye Jingyao was a little angry. "What exactly do you mean?"

"Yaoyao, don't be angry. I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Shen Ruoxuan quickly hugged her best friend, saying, "You're so outstanding, you'll definitely find someone better in the future."

People gather in kind, and things are divided into groups.

Ye Jingyao, her best friend, has the same criteria for choosing a partner as her!

Now that a suitable target has finally appeared, she naturally wants to be on guard.

"Do you think I'd steal your man?"

Ye Jingyao retorted angrily, "Am I that kind of person?"

"I know I was wrong!"

"I judged him by my own petty standards!"

Shen Ruoxuan comforted her repeatedly, "I'll treat you to a big meal when we get back from our trip, so don't be angry anymore."

Ye Jingyao said, "You guys go ahead, I'm not going, I'm just being a third wheel."

Shen Ruoxuan laughed and said, "The money has already been paid, and they won't refund it if you don't go."

"Why did you drag me along on your trip with him?"

Ye Jingyao voiced her doubts: "Is it to entertain you?"

"hey-hey--"

Shen Ruoxuan was a little embarrassed, "He just asked me out, and I only went if you went."

Ye Jingyao still didn't understand, "You clearly wanted to go, so why did you only go when I went?"

Shen Ruoxuan sighed, "I had no idea he was so rich!"

Ye Jingyao asked curiously, "How much money does he have?"

Shen Ruoxuan didn't want to answer the question. "I don't know how much money he has, but it's enough to buy a car and a house."

"Go ahead and do it."

Ye Jingyao glared at her, "You won't agree when someone has no money, but you're all over them when they have money."

"No, that's not true."

Am I that kind of person?

Shen Ruoxuan pouted, "I've been his colleague for almost four months and I know he's a really good person. He's great at work and has a great personality, but I've never really known about his financial situation."

"I didn't know at first. Although I found him quite pleasing to the eye, I always stuck to my principles."

"When I found out later, I had no choice but to drag you into it too."

As she spoke, Shen Ruoxuan began to plead again, "My best friend, my dear Yao Yao, please help me!"

"Once we're officially a couple, I'll treat you to a month of lavish meals!"

"I'll treat you to a trip to Sanya!"

"When I get married, I'll ask you to be my bridesmaid, give you a big red envelope, and my children will be your godmother!"

Faced with her best friend's desperate pleas, Ye Jingyao finally softened.

"Shameless! You blurt out everything!"

"How would you like me to help you?"
