After hitting the Rolls-Royce, the top-tier green tea started fishing.

Ruan Zhining was beaming with pride after his victory in the great battle against Wen Chongyan.

But for some reason, my eyelids have been twitching for the past few days.

There's a saying that a twitching left eye means good fortune, while a twitching right eye means bad luck, but when both her eyes twitched at the same time, she couldn't understand it.

However, Ruan Zhining didn't have time to think about it deeply, because—

Wen Xiyu is going to formally confess his feelings to her.

This is the first time their relationship is about to get back on track since their previous breakup as a "fake couple".

That morning, Wen Xiyu came to pick her up from school.

I took her to the top jewelry brand Harry Winston's standalone store in Beijing.

The shop assistant was extremely enthusiastic, taking out several couple necklaces, each set with real diamonds.

When Ruan Zhining saw the price, her heart pounded with anger. This was more expensive than an average person could buy a house!

She whispered, "Xiyu, maybe we shouldn't buy it, it's too expensive... How about we buy gold instead? Maybe the price will go up in a while!"

Wen Xiyu: "Gold is too tacky for you; diamonds are the perfect match for your clean and elegant demeanor."

"..." Gold is tacky; that's exactly what a rich kid would say.

In comparison, Wen Chongyan is clearly much more mature, and he even said there's a gold mine! She wants a gold mine too!

It doesn't matter, because she'll have money soon and can buy whatever she wants.

Buying diamonds can really lift a woman's spirits. Ruan Zhining smiled slightly as she looked down to help the sales assistant try on a necklace.

However, the clerk didn't know how to do it and accidentally knocked over a teacup on the table with his elbow.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry! Miss Ruan, you weren't burned, were you?"

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have made you green tea. The tea leaves have gotten all over your shoes, don't be angry, I'll clean them up right away!"

Ruan Zhining looked down and saw the shop assistant pick up all the green tea on the ground and throw it into the trash can.

...I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling that I'm going to get my comeuppance.

No, Ruan Zhining, don't scare yourself like that.

Wen Chongyan has already agreed to her being with Wen Xiyu, so what is she worried about?

She suppressed her anxiety and carefully selected a beautiful (most expensive) diamond necklace.

After trying it on and being satisfied, Wen Xiyu got up to swipe his card.

Seeing that a big order was about to be placed, the shop assistant kept flattering Ruan Zhining: "Miss and Young Master Wen are simply a match made in heaven—"

Before he could finish speaking, the POS machine at the checkout counter emitted a sharp "beep".

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wen, the card payment failed."

Ruan Zhining's heart skipped a beat. That ominous premonition returned.

No way...

Wen Xiyu clearly didn't believe it: "Scan it again."

The clerk complied. After a moment, he said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, the system shows that your account status is abnormal; it seems... it's been frozen."

Wen Xiyu still didn't believe it, so he tried another card, but it still didn't work.

After trying to process six different cards, the POS machine crashed.

The shop assistant couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Wen, are all these cards... yours?"

Wen Xiyu: "..."

Ruan Zhining: "..."

The atmosphere instantly became strange and awkward.

Wen Xiyu seemed completely incredulous and immediately made a phone call to the bank manager.

What started as a fierce questioning turned out to be:

"Young Master Yu, I'm sorry, I'm not entirely sure about the situation either... Why don't you call your family?"

Wen Xiyu looked confused: "What do you mean by calling your family? What do you mean?"

Hearing his question, Ruan Zhining, who was sitting next to him, felt a chill run down her spine. Could it be...?

At this moment, a shop assistant secretly took out his phone to verify the identity of this wealthy young man and opened the video that had already been flooding the colleagues' group chat.

I completely forgot that my phone was still connected to the Bluetooth speaker.

In an instant, a clear and resonant announcement echoed throughout the store:

This morning, *Caijing Weekly* published an authorization statement from Mr. Wen Chongyan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wens Foodstuff Group:

Due to Mr. Wen Xiyu's personal reasons, he is severing ties with the Wen family effective immediately. All his words and actions are no longer related to the family, and the family will no longer bear any responsibility for him. This is to inform you.

Ruan Zhining & Wen Xiyu: "..."

All store employees: "…………"

Turns out he wasn't a fake rich kid, but a real rich kid who was kicked out of his wealthy family!

They lost even more face.

Ruan Zhining's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

Wen Chongyan's words came to mind: "You loved him even when he was penniless. What else can I say?"

Wen Chongyan said this while smiling.

A man who is too handsome and charming can make people lower their guard when he smiles.

Ruan Zhining wanted to beat herself to death. How could she, a scheming woman, fall for such a trap!

But even if you kill yourself with a hammer, you still need to spend money to buy a hammer; everything in this society costs money.

Soon, Wen Xiyu received various phone calls and text messages:

All of his real estate properties were frozen, his bank cards were frozen, all his black cards at high-end entertainment venues and hotels were canceled, and he was removed from the Jingfeng Rich Club...

Wen Xiyu is now not only penniless, but he also owes three million yuan on a credit card he got to help a friend!

Wen Xiyu searched through all the apps and found that he only had 2890 yuan left in his WeChat account.

...not even as much as Ruan Zhining's savings.

The two stood on the street, being blown by the howling north wind.

Thankfully it didn't snow, otherwise it would have been even more tragic with snowflakes falling.

Finally, Wen Xiyu sent Ruan Zhining back to school, and then angrily went to find Wen Chongyan.

On the way, Ruan Zhining sent him a voice message:

[Xiyu, I feel like I'm the one who ruined you. Your uncle kicked you out of the Wen family because of me, it's all my fault... Let's not get back together.]

Her voice choked up and became tearful as she spoke.

She was really crying; she was so angry.

Hearing her say that, Wen Xiyu became even more anxious and stepped on the gas to Wenrui Group.

He stormed into Wen Chongyan's office and, unusually, boldly questioned him:

"Uncle, how could you do this to me! Do you know that I was just about to confess my feelings to Zhi Ning this morning!"

"Now look what's happened! Your interference has ruined everything! She's even crying!"

Oh?

It's over?

Wen Chongyan slowly flipped through the documents and signed "Agreed" in a good mood.

He put down his pen and then lifted his eyelids to look at his nephew.

"She cried. She cried in front of you?"

The kind of crying that's overly sweet and affected? Like throwing yourself into his arms?

"She was crying in a voice message!" Wen Xiyu played Ruan Zhining's voice message. "Listen!"

Yes, she did cry. But she didn't act coy; it felt like she was really crying.

It sounds rather tragic.

Wen Chongyan recalled the moment when Ruan Zhining poured him tea, her eyes, bigger than a doll's, filled with immense joy at the thought of "being able to reunite with Wen Xiyu."

—It looks extremely offensive.

Now, listening to her cry, Wen Chongyan felt that the annoyance he felt towards her had dissipated considerably.

Ruan Zhining always gave him a wicked urge to make her cry.

Perhaps she was just too disobedient.

Wen Chongyan scoffed coldly and retorted to his nephew,

"Don't you find it strange that she wouldn't get back together with you after you were kicked out of the house?"

Wen Xiyu: "That's because she loves me and is afraid that I'll feel too much pressure."

Wen Chongyan: "..."

An incurable idiot.

He glanced coldly at the car keys in Wen Xiyu's hand and instructed Assistant Shao:

"His car was also bought by his family, and now it's being towed away and sold. I'll use the money I earned for drinking water today to buy him a two-wheeled electric vehicle, which will be the last bit of kindness we owe each other."

Wen Xiyu: "..."

His face flushed with anger, and he retorted defiantly, "You always say that Zhi Ning isn't innocent, that she's a scheming green tea girl, then tell me—what do you think an innocent girl is like? Isn't there not a single one!"

He thinks she's a simple and honest girl?

A face that wasn't very clear appeared in Wen Chongyan's mind, but a very clear section of an extremely thin, white, and graceful waist.

The curve of her waist bending down was incredibly soft.

On a rainy night, Ruan Xiaocui's heart-wrenching cries were incredibly moving.

It's as if I can still hear those words now.

"Okay, there's a village and town investment promotion conference in Ruanjia Village this afternoon. I'll take you there to meet a truly simple and honest girl."

Wen Chongyan straightened his cuffs and stood up, his tall figure gleaming. "After you meet her, you'll know just how cunning your Zhi Ning is."
