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

Wen Chongyan paused, his long, slender fingers holding the teacup.

The air seemed to freeze for several seconds.

Then, he opened Ruan Zhining's WeChat Moments.

show:--·--

I can't see anything.

She did indeed delete him.

Wen Chongyan paused for only a moment before continuing to drink his tea.

He thought it was a good thing that she deleted him, saving him the trouble of deleting her and wasting his time.

The tea was really hard to drink; its astringency made him irritable.

He put down his teacup, sat down in the chair, and was enveloped in an inexplicable chill.

A moment later, Wen Chongyan picked up his phone again and tapped on Wen Xiyu's WeChat profile picture.

Wen Xiyu also landed in Sydney and posted a screenshot of a WeChat chat on his Moments.

Although the note and profile picture were blurred, Wen Chongyan could tell that it was sent to Ruan Zhining.

In the screenshot, Wen Xiyu sent a message saying that he had landed safely and that she shouldn't worry, and also told her to take care of herself, etc... basically a bunch of sycophantic words.

The message was sent three hours ago. But Ruan Zhining didn't reply.

Wen Chongyan thought that Ruan Zhining probably wanted to show him that she would no longer harass the Wen family, which was why she deleted his message.

Perhaps Ruan Zhining has also deleted Wen Xiyu, which is why she doesn't even reply to his messages.

It seems that this setback has made Ruan Zhining completely give up on dating men.

Therefore, her crying at the airport was genuine, not faked; it was a way of showing weakness and admitting her mistakes to him—which is why he felt pity for her.

So, everything is normal. It's not that he was deceived by a manipulative woman.

That's it.

Wen Chongyan had figured it out and felt that he should feel completely comfortable.

Although he doesn't feel comfortable right now, but rather very irritable, this is probably because he was too tired from dealing with the green tea today.

Fortunately, he eventually tamed the green tea.

This time, Ruan Zhining is probably completely obedient and well-behaved.

……

Ruan Zhining was indeed well-behaved for more than ten days.

But after scrolling through various self-help videos on Douyin (especially seeing Xie Lanlan posting videos of herself looking at houses), she was once again filled with fighting spirit (jealousy and resentment).

This fighting spirit, after receiving the call from the hospital, completely shattered the heavens.

She booked a better hospital for her sister and has now secured a spot. The success rate is extremely high, and her sister may very well wake up!

However, a large sum of money is needed to pay for the surgery.

Thinking about her bank account balance, Ruan Zhining finally had the strength to get out of bed.

Standing in front of the mirror, she asked herself, as if she were asking the Queen of the Magic Mirror:

Magic mirror on the wall, who is the next rich woman in the world?

Her beautiful face was reflected in the mirror, so the answer is her.

Moreover, the path to wealth for a woman is destined to be arduous. If she can't even handle this kind of setback, how will she be able to lie in her mansion in the future, reminiscing about the hardships she endured?

Ruan Zhining has completely regained her feminine charm. She calmly sat cross-legged, outlining her future battle strategy.

Wen Xiyu is far away in Australia, so it's best for them to be friends for now. Anyway, due to various circumstances, they have never really been together. Maybe they were destined to be apart (mainly because they didn't have money).

Having learned from her previous painful experience, she now intends to find a man who holds significant financial power over her.

Although Beijing is a large city, only a small number of wealthy families control the top tier of wealth.

At the very top is naturally the Wen family, the richest family in the world, unmatched by anyone.

The two unmarried members of the Wen family are named Wen Chongyan and Wen Xiyu.

Ruan Zhining endured the pain and crossed it out with her pen. She pressed hard on Wen Chongyan's name, even poking at it a few times.

The next few powerful families are the Jiang family, the Cheng family, the Pei family, and the Xiao family...

Finally, Ruan Zhining paused, drawing a circle around a name.

This time, it has absolutely nothing to do with the Wen family. Surely Wen Chongyan wouldn't cause any more trouble, right?

three days later.

An art exhibition is being held inside the China World Trade Center Cloud Hall.

The exhibition was organized by Jiang Linfeng, the eldest son of the Jiang family.

Since Jiang Linfeng attended in person (and was unmarried), most of the attendees were young women, all of whom were beautifully dressed.

A beautiful woman had already hooked up with Jiang Linfeng, and the two were walking side by side in the exhibition hall, chatting and laughing.

The beautiful woman tried to steer the conversation toward WeChat, attempting to add Jiang Linfeng on WeChat.

Suddenly, as they passed a painting, a photograph fell to the ground.

Jiang Linfeng bent down to pick it up. At that moment, a clear, sweet, and soft female voice rang out:

"Sorry. That's my photo."

Jiang Linfeng looked up and was stunned by the girl's beauty.

Realizing his lapse in composure, he asked evasively, "Is that Ulaanbaatar in the photo? Have you ever been there?"

Ulaanbaatar is Jiang Linfeng's grandmother's hometown and holds his happiest childhood memories.

Ruan Zhining took the photo, her eyes filled with melancholy as she curved her lips into a slight smile:

"Yes, going to Ulabato is my dream. I think it's the cleanest place in the world. I've always wanted to go, but unfortunately..."

Her voice was soft and gentle, yet it carried a strong sense of story.

Jiang Linfeng unconsciously followed her emotions and pressed her for an answer: "What's a pity?"

"It's a pity I never have again..." Ruan Zhining only got halfway through her sentence before turning her face away, choking back tears. "It's nothing, I won't bother you any longer."

Stunning profile, with an exceptional ambiance.

The beautiful woman next to him was so anxious she almost stomped her feet.

But she was neither as skilled nor as good-looking as him. Helpless, she could only watch as Jiang Linfeng walked towards Ruan Zhining.

Jiang Linfeng successfully invited Ruan Zhining to see the exhibition together.

Afterwards, he invited her to lunch.

On the way, Ruan Zhining took out her phone and pretended to be checking in at school.

It actually searches for the restaurant's class and average cost per person.

After discovering that only five-star black gold card members could dine there, she mentally gave a thumbs-up. It seemed Jiang Linfeng wasn't a stingy man after all.

So far, everything is going smoothly. Ruan Zhining is very happy.

But excessive joy often leads to sorrow. As they entered the restaurant, Jiang Linfeng walked ahead to answer a phone call, while Ruan Zhining followed behind him. Her high heels slipped, and she twisted her ankle.

Fortunately, a man behind her steadied her, saying, "Be careful."

Before Ruan Zhining could even utter a single "thank you," her back stiffened abruptly. That voice...

It's from Assistant Shao!

She wouldn't be mistaken. A cunning and manipulative woman needs to be observant and able to spot any potential crises.

Sure enough, the next second, a deep, mellow male voice came from behind:

"What are you standing there for on the steps? Go inside first."

It's Wen Chongyan!

Fortunately, he was saying this to Assistant Shao.

That means Wen Chongyan didn't see her.

Ruan Zhining was stiff all over and didn't dare to turn around. She quickly entered the restaurant.

Once inside, she didn't dare linger in her seat, but instead made an excuse to slip away to the restroom.

Damn it, Wen Chongyan is actually eating at this restaurant too? That just confirms how expensive and top-notch this place is.

Ruan Zhining was both pleased with the conclusion and nervous—

According to the information she received, Jiang Linfeng has a kind of emotional purity complex and is very averse to dating someone who has a past romantic history.

Although she and Wen Xiyu were trending on social media, the news was quickly removed by Wenrui Group.

She had just tested him, and Jiang Linfeng was unaware of it.

She couldn't let Wen Chongyan find out she was here; what if he exposed her?

—The green tea, after being processed, exudes its fragrance once again, but I'm afraid that tea connoisseurs will smell it and come to thoroughly examine it by following the scent.

Ruan Zhining hid in the restroom.

The dog cautiously peeked out a few times and found that there was indeed no one at the door.

Wen Chongyan should be in a private room upstairs. The richest man in China wouldn't be sitting in the main hall.

Alert lifted.

Ruan Zhining let out a long sigh, came out and stood in front of the washbasin to wash her hands, pondering the key points of the meal later...

Just then, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the empty pool beside me and gracefully placed themselves under the flowing water.

Ruan Zhining glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and thought to herself that these hands were truly exquisite, with distinct joints, long and slender, and pale white.

She absentmindedly pulled out a paper towel, and her action coincided with that of the person next to her.

"Ah, you go first..."

"Ladies first. Miss Ruan, first."

"Thank you. You're so kind—"

?

Wait, Miss Ruan?

Ruan Zhining suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked up—
