She knew what he wanted to say and said it in advance:
"Zhao Menglou, thank you for paying so much for my lawsuit these days, and for today's lunch. I really thank you. But, we are really not suitable, so let's end it here, okay."
Seeing that she was still so determined, Zhao Menglou's handsome face suddenly changed. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her under his eyes, almost gritting his teeth and bursting out:
"Why is it inappropriate?"
Jiang Qiaoyue shook her head:
"You are a wealthy young man in Jingzhou, a daughter of a famous family, and an elite lawyer. As for me, you have also investigated my background. I have had no father since I was a child, and my mother was a maid. As for me, I am the daughter of a maid, and now I am just a cafe owner.
Chief and Private Investigation Partner.”
"You graduated from a well-known foreign university. As for me, let alone studying abroad, my mother couldn't afford the tuition when I went to college. I had to rely on the help of Su Mi's adoptive mother, the Qiao family, to study at a low-ranking university in Tancheng.
Later, my mother got sick, and I didn’t even get a college diploma, so I dropped out of school and went to work to support the family. To put it bluntly, I just graduated from high school.”
"You also know that I have had boyfriends before and many suitors, but I have never been with them... Then do you know why I just can't settle down and break up in a hurry every time? Because I always find out in the end
, the most they liked about me was this face, they never regarded me as someone who could settle down
Come and stay with the other half of your life. What they really want to marry is a gentle, virtuous girl with a good family background. At least, she has the support and help of her parents. Not someone like me who has no background and no family background except a face.
It’s so bad that I don’t even have parents, so I can only rely on myself. People like me can just play around.”
"I am not like Su Mi. Although I have been depressed and silent, I finally shined like a pearl and found a strong family with a backer and a background. I, Jiang Qiaoyue, am just an ordinary businessman.
I am a commoner and a grassroots class. It is impossible for me to have a strong family.
You belong to the family. And you are a shining young man from a famous family with unlimited future, and you are doted on by thousands of people. When you have lunch, you follow the strict table manners of foreign upper class society. You and I are like imported steak and tomato stir-fry.
Eggs, two dishes, not the same channel at all.”
"Do you understand? You and I are from completely different worlds. If it hadn't been for what happened in Maple City, we would never have been on the same track. The person who is suitable for you should be a girl as good as you.
You and I are forced to be together, and we will always be together
We hate each other. As time goes by, you will be like the two waitresses just now. When you look at me, your face is full of contempt, thinking that I am a commoner who can't even eat steak and even tie a napkin.
It’s such a mess, I don’t even know how to place the knives and forks.”
"Rather than this, wouldn't it be better for you and me to keep each other in the best memories? At least in your mind, I will always be a beautiful young lady."
Zhao Menglou listened quietly without interrupting the whole process. The pupils behind his lenses were like the autumn wind blowing across the lake, loosening and tightening at one time.
After Jiang Qiaoyue finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but he grabbed her arm fiercely and pulled her back.
When she met his burning black eyes, her cynicism and unruliness were swept away, replaced by heartache and persistence:
"I'm not any man you meet. I am who I am. Give me time and you will know."
"From now on, instead of eating steak, we will eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"
He invited her to eat Western food today, but he didn't have any sense of superiority.
It's just that I have been studying abroad since I started studying, so I got used to it.
But he didn't expect her to have such thoughts.
In this case, he just needs to stop eating Western food for the rest of his life!
Jiang Qiaoyue admitted that his tone and eyes had great power, and she was stunned unconsciously.
He leaned forward and kissed her lips hard.
The plump and plump lips, like a coquettishly blooming flower, were painted with greed, trembling as if they were enduring the wind and rain.
His heart was filled with excitement, and he slid his palms down and simply hugged her waist. After a moment's pause, he took off his obstructive glasses and threw them aside. He squeezed her into his arms and kissed her even harder.
The feeling I had two years ago is back again.
Accompanied by muttering and gasping, the scoundrels bloomed in her ears unscrupulously:
"Sister...I'm not just playing for fun. Give me a chance. Give it a try...it doesn't cost any money..."
Jiang Qiaoyue was so fascinated by the kiss that she drank a little red wine while eating dessert. The heat from the alcohol also caused trouble at the same time, making her back dripping with sweat. She couldn't help but raise her slender arms to hug her.
His neck, hanging softly on his body, responded.
It wasn't until the man's slender fingers kept climbing up her back, his fingertips separated from the fabric, and hooked the buttons of the underwear inside that her mind cleared up and she realized.
I pushed him away hard, took two steps back, gasped twice, turned around and walked quickly towards the door, but I heard his voice:
"Qiaoqiao, I will go to Zong's house to find you tomorrow. Let's go shopping. Let's treat it as our first official date, okay?"
She didn't agree to him, but only quickened her pace.
…
Jiang Qiaoyue ran out of the hotel, took a taxi and returned to Zong's house.
Fortunately, Zhao Menglou probably tasted some of the sweetness and didn't catch up.
Along the way, her heartbeat exceeded 110 and she never calmed down.
In any case, his flirting ability is still very high.
Just such a kiss actually messed up her mind.
And his sincere commitment.
...Maybe, we can really try to have a try with him...
As soon as this thought popped into her mind, she suppressed it immediately.
What are you thinking about?
His and her status are worlds apart!
What qualifies her identity to truly become his other half?
Being kept captive by him and becoming one of his many girlfriends? She would definitely not be willing to accept it.
If it is not developing in the direction of marriage, what is the difference between him and other men?
…
In the Zong family, Su Mi has been waiting for Jiang Qiaoyue to come back, for fear that something might happen.
Seeing her coming back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and grabbed her: "Have you finished eating? Is he not dishonest?"
"No." Jiang Qiaoyue shook her head.
Su Mi saw that her face was red, her ears were all red, and her hair was a little messy, but she didn't believe it: "Are you sure?"
She shook her head again, and after a while, she said: "Mimi, do you think I am a little too cold and harsh towards him?"
Su Mi paused and asked, "Is it because his background is so good? You feel that the gap between you and him is too big, and you are afraid that he is just for fun like the men who pursued you in the past?"
Jiang Qiaoyue knew that Su Mi could guess it, so she nodded.
"But I don't think he is just playing with you. And Sister Qiaoqiao, I can see that you don't have any feelings for him at all. Why don't you give it a try?"
