Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 475 Tit for Tat 1.0
"Which her?"

Zhou Wang's expression froze, and he subconsciously began to play dumb, hoping that Ding Yi was testing him or making a slip of the tongue or something.

But he soon realized that his ideas were too naive.

Because the answering voice came from behind...

"I think Yi Yi is talking about me, the 'third party' who shouldn't be there, right?"

It should have been a playful voice, but to Zhou Wang, it was still mixed with a biting cold wind.

He turned back stiffly, only to find that Xia Xiwei, who should have been still wandering in the dessert shop, had been standing behind him at some point.

She had no bread or ice cream in her hands, but was carrying her LV travel bag.

She was still wearing a mask, but had taken off her sunglasses. Fortunately, the parking lot was relatively empty, so the chance of her being recognized by passers-by was not high.

Seeing Xia Xiwei appear here so quickly, Zhou Wang realized that he had thought everything was too simple.

It turned out that not only Ding Yi noticed the problem, but Xia Xiwei also found some clues.

But Zhou Wang couldn't figure out how they found out about each other. Zhou Wang felt that there shouldn't be any big flaws...

At this time, the cell phone in his pocket started vibrating again. Obviously, the person who called him was not Xia Xiwei. He didn't know who had been trying to contact Zhou Wang.

But of course Zhou Wang had no time to pay attention to it at this time. He just pressed the mute button of the mobile phone with a little annoyance. At this time, Zhou Wang quickly recalled the previous scene and suddenly realized something.

"perfume……"

"Yes, perfume."

Xia Xiwei smiled first, and glanced at Zhou Wang, "Hehe, you playboy, I smelled it when I hugged you. You have the scent of another woman... white musk, lily of the valley, and a little cedar woody fragrance, which fits your pure and innocent style very well!"

Xia Xiwei deliberately emphasized the word "pure and innocent".

Ding frowned, but soon relaxed again. She smiled and said, "Berries mixed with vanilla, Sister Xiwei, you are still very sweet, but the woody scent of cedar should be yours, which is a flaw!"

"Cedar? I don't have ..."

Xia Xiwei spoke in confusion.

Zhou Wang, who was standing by, felt overwhelmed after hearing this. He had planned everything, but he really didn't expect that the smell would reveal a flaw... The main reason was that he lacked experience in dealing with this kind of situation.

Seeing that the two of them were about to continue arguing like this, he was afraid that they would analyze Jiang Qingkui's existence, so he quickly interrupted Xia Xiwei:

"Well, what happened today is my fault. It's my fault for not arranging your itinerary properly... How about we take a bus back and talk about it later?"

"How can I blame you?"

Ding Yi shook his head at this time and said softly: "You should blame me for not knowing the tact, or I shouldn't have exposed you just now, but I really didn't expect that the woman who was pestering you would be Sister Xiwei. When did you two become so familiar with each other? I remember that you have only known each other for a short time, right?"

Ding Yi still maintained his smile, his eyes wandering between Zhou Wang and Xia Xiwei.

Ding Yi's tone was not sarcastic, so Zhou Wang didn't hear anything, but to Xia Xiwei's ears, every word sounded harsh.

What does "I'm pestering Zhou Wang" mean?
She immediately raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "So, there is also a magnetic field between people. Some people have never met each other, but they can feel like old friends at first sight, while some people, even if they have been childhood sweethearts, are just the most familiar strangers... Yi Yi, what do you think?"

Xia Xiwei's words obviously hurt some sensitive parts of Ding Yi's heart. After knowing Ding Yi for so long, this was the first time Zhou Wang saw her expression tend to get out of control. But it only lasted for a short second, and soon Ding Yi calmed down again.

She smiled, but did not argue with Xia Xiwei anymore. Instead, she looked at Zhou Wang who was listening in a daze.

"That's right, I made it difficult for you to pick me up. I should have given this time to Sister Xiwei... Zhou Wang, I have fallen behind for a long time, and I don't care about continuing to line up behind her, right?"

Ding Yi's sentimental question made Zhou Wang not know what to say for a moment.

He remembered Ding Yi in the "draft round", the innocent and pure girl, remembered the kiss, and remembered the promise he had forgotten. An inexplicable guilt began to envelop Zhou Wang's heart.

"I am sorry."

"Shh, why are you saying sorry?"

Ding Yi raised her green fingers and gently touched Zhou Wang's lips. She smiled and shook her head, saying sincerely: "Why don't you go with Sister Xiwei? I have relatives in Modu, I can ask them to pick me up..."

A good one who takes retreat in order to advance!

Xia Xiwei, who was listening to this with great boredom, saw that Zhou Wang was obviously moved. Her dark eyes turned, and she immediately stepped forward, took Zhou Wang's arm, and said with a smile:
"Yi Yi, what are you talking about? Zhou Wang is here to pick you up, how can you leave alone? How about this, Zhou Wang, you can just let this car take Ding Yi, and we'll wait for the next car. If that doesn't work, I can take the subway back with you~"

Xia Xiwei's words didn't sound like anything important, and she even showed some humility, but she turned the tables and directly put Ding Yi in the position of a "guest". In addition, when he saw that she took the opportunity to show intimacy with Zhou Wang, Ding Yi's emotions, which had just calmed down, became uncontrollable again.

She took a deep breath and smiled, "Sister Xiwei, you still like to joke around like you did when you were a kid. You are a big star that everyone admires, how can I force you to take the subway? What if someone recognizes you?"

"If you are recognized, you are recognized."

Xia Xiwei smiled nonchalantly, "Who says that celebrities can't have their own private lives? Besides, Yi Yi, do you think I have the so-called idol burden? If Zhou Wang needs it, I can even take off my mask and squeeze into the subway with him."

"That's right, Sister Xiwei, why would you care about these things?"

Ding Yi smiled and said, "You are such a person who loves to share. You couldn't wait to share your experiences on Weibo not long after you met Zhou Wang. You must want everyone in the world to come and watch you and Zhou Wang... Unfortunately, I can't be as brave as you. I don't think everything can be shared. I still have a little self-esteem, even if it seems ridiculous."

Ding Yi's self-deprecation also caused Xia Xiwei's blood pressure to soar.

It seemed that Ding Yi was praising her for her "courage", but implicit in his words was just short of pointing at Xia Xiwei's nose and scolding her for being "shameless" and "unscrupulous".

This time it was Xia Xiwei's turn to take a deep breath. She maintained her smile, but no longer cared about propriety.

"Yi Yi, you are wrong. I don't have anything to share. Otherwise, Zhou Wang would have met my parents, and I haven't told anyone..."

This sentence really stunned Ding Yi, and she looked at Zhou Wang in a daze.

"You...have been to her house?"

"It was a mistake, I..."

Zhou Wang, who was feeling dizzy from the huge amount of information in the conversation between the two, was about to explain when Xia Xiwei at the side took over the conversation with a smile.

"Yi Yi, fate is really amazing. Do you remember that I complained to you about how I was troubled by my engagement with Jiang Minghao? Zhou Wang went there once and helped me solve this problem... My parents really like him!"

What Xia Xiwei said were actually objective facts, but she overlooked the most important point, which is that Xia Xiwei's parents were not extremely satisfied with Zhou Wang just because of his "relationship" with Xia Xiwei.

But this kind of highly suggestive rhetoric naturally sounded different to Ding Yi.

Her body trembled visibly, and her face even turned pale, but Ding Yi was Ding Yi after all, and she soon realized that something was wrong.

Because she understood Zhou Wang's character, he might not be loyal enough, but he was a person who attached great importance to promises. It was precisely because of this that she and Zhou Wang had not been able to get together.

Because Zhou Wang knew very well what she wanted.

The same goes for Xia Xiwei. Although Xia Xiwei looks carefree, doesn't Zhou Wang understand the price he has to pay if he really stays with her?
If Zhou Wang could really make a promise so easily, and even express his stance in front of Xia Xiwei's parents, then she and Zhou Wang might have been together in college. Why bother dragging it on until today?

After thinking this through, Ding Yi laughed again. She looked directly into Xia Xiwei's eyes, as if she could see directly into her heart. "Sister Xiwei, you should understand that truth. When you keep showing some kind of evidence to prove that you have obtained something, it often means that the thing is too far away for you."

Ding Yi murmured, smiling more charmingly, "The official Weibo announcement was like this, the post on WeChat Moments was like this, and the one you took Zhou Wang home was like this... You must be very scared inside, you're not doing this for me, you're doing it for yourself. You try hard to maintain these vain illusions because you know better than anyone that they can break at any time."

"Zhou Wang... never belonged to you."

Ding Yi's tone was gentle, but the conclusion he made was decisive, like a sharp sword stabbing directly into Xia Xiwei's heart. Her cheeks, hidden by the mask, turned pale, and her hands that were grabbing Zhou Wang's sleeves also tightened.

Yes, Ding Yi’s analysis is not wrong at all in a sense.

Xia Xiwei knew that because of her background, she had been lonely for too long...

At first, she was just curious about what kind of man could make Ding Yi fall for her. Ding Yi was a favored girl admired by countless people in the Beijing circle. Even Xia Xiwei would occasionally feel "inferior" to her.

The most outrageous thing is that the man is not even her serious boyfriend, and he seems to be entangled with other women.

It couldn't be that he had saved Ding Yi's life, right?
After actually getting to know Zhou Wang, although there was some acting involved, Xia Xiwei herself understood that Zhou Wang had unknowingly developed a fatal attraction to her.

Obviously, the two of them had only met a few times, but Xia Xiwei herself couldn't explain how it all started.

Maybe it was the mystery surrounding him, or the power, wealth, and status that were totally inconsistent with his age, or maybe it was his unenthusiastic attitude towards himself...

Unable to find the real reason, Xia Xiwei could only attribute it all to a miraculous fate.

But no matter what, at this moment, Ding Yi, with a light tone, directly shattered the ambiguous illusion that Xia Xiwei had always wanted to create, and also made Xia Xiwei fall into uncontrollable shame and anger.

"Yi Yi, Zhou Wang may not belong to me, but you don't seem to have the right to interfere in the affairs between him and me. How can you get involved?"

"Sister Xiwei, I remember I reminded you last time not to insult me ​​with such excessive words."

"Insult? But what I stated seems to be just objective facts."

"Sister, it's true that you're pitiful. Are you sure you're looking for love, or... just want to fill the loneliness of a long-term lack of love? I think this person doesn't have to be Zhou Wang, right?"

"What about you? Do you really like Zhou Wang, or do you just want to control him? Yi Yi, you are such a proud girl, but you are always ignored by Zhou Wang. It must be very uncomfortable, right?"

"Sister Xiwei..."

When the two of them were having the coldest confrontation with the brightest smiles, Zhou Wang, who was overwhelmed, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

It was true that they were targeting each other, but they were undoubtedly torturing Zhou Wang.

"enough!"

Zhou Wang raised his voice and interrupted the two of them. When they looked over, Zhou Wang said angrily:
"If you want to quarrel, then quarrel. Can you please consider the situation? This is an airport. There are many people around. How can you behave like this?"

Before Xia Xiwei and Ding Yi wanted to say anything, Zhou Wang interrupted them again with a cold face.

"You like to argue, right? Then you can keep arguing here. There's only one bus anyway, so you can take a ride if you want. If you don't want to, forget it. I can just take the subway by myself... Damn it, what the hell is going on!"

After Zhou Wang finished cursing, he broke away from Xia Xiwei without hesitation and turned away.

His back was like the wind, but his ever-quickening pace revealed another meaning in the eyes of the two slightly stunned women.

"Hmph, coward!"

A simultaneous hum came from Xia Xiwei and Ding Yi at the same time.

With their intelligence, how could they not see that Zhou Wang was not really angry, he just found an excuse to slip away...

After finishing speaking, Xia Xiwei and Ding Yi were both stunned. They looked at each other and then turned their heads away slightly.

Although Zhou Wang's tricks were very low-level, it must be said that after he left the scene, Xia Xiwei and Ding Yi were indeed unable to argue any further.

After a brief silence, Xia Xiwei stretched and said, "I'm so sleepy. I'm going to the hotel to take a nap. If you mind, you can take a taxi by yourself."

After saying that, Xia Xiwei got into the business car with her bag, lay down on the middle seat, and squinted her eyes.

Ding Yi raised her eyebrows, but soon calmed down. She got into the car directly and sat next to Xia Xiwei without saying a word. She looked natural and generous, without any embarrassment.

In the passenger seat, the bodyguard Xiao Qi, who had been stunned for a long time, saw the two women get into the car one after another, but his boss "fled" from the other side. He looked at Gao Xing in the driver's seat in panic.

That look seemed to be silently asking: "Brother Gao, what should we do now?"

Gao Xing obviously had no similar experience. The corners of his mouth moved, but he finally responded with his eyes: "You drive and send them back. I'll go find the boss..."

……

As the business car carrying Xia Xiwei and Ding Yi slowly drove away, at a corner not far away, in another Mercedes-Benz business car, Xiao Wang in the driver's seat also looked embarrassed, and kept glancing at Jiang Qingkui in the back seat.

He had already driven away, but before he left the parking lot, Jiang Qingkui suddenly asked him to come back.

Xiao Wang was in a dilemma, but he didn't dare to disobey Jiang Qingkui's order. He had to drive the car back while secretly calling Zhou Wang to remind his boss.

But Zhou Wang didn't answer the phone. When he drove back and saw the boss on the platform confronting two other incredibly beautiful beauties, Xiao Wang finally understood that Mr. Zhou was also busy with his own affairs...

Xiao Wang saw it, and of course Jiang Qingkui saw it too.

But during the whole process, Jiang Qingkui, who was sitting by the car window, did not say a word, but just sat there and watched silently.

Xiao Wang wanted to die. He would rather lead the charge in the most chaotic battlefield than stay in this car.

Everything finally ended when Xiao Wang was suffering from the agony of living day by day. He watched the business car carrying the "other two boss ladies" drive away, but Jiang Qingkui still didn't move. Xiao Wang couldn't help but wink at the assistant girl who looked more friendly sitting in the passenger seat.

Xu Lingyue was actually also very uncomfortable, mainly because Jiang Qingkui's aura was too strong...

"Sister Qingkui, Sister Qingkui... that person has already left."

But seeing that Jiang Qingkui was still motionless, Xu Lingyue could only remind him in a low voice.

"Ah."

Jiang Qingkui then withdrew his gaze calmly and ordered, "Let's go too."

"Ah, but, but Mr. Zhou..."

Xu Lingyue pointed in the direction Zhou Wang left, as if to remind Jiang Qingkui whether he should go and pick up Zhou Wang.

"Are you worried about him? Go get a number and queue up first... Xiao Wang, drive."

Jiang Qingkui said coldly.

It was not until Xiao Wang started the car that the confused Xu Lingyue realized what Jiang Qingkui meant. She quickly retracted her head, stammering.
