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

Ruan Zhining was leaning on the ship's railing, enjoying the sea breeze, her hair tousled by the wind, when a laughing voice suddenly came from beside her:

"Miss, the sea breeze is salty and damp, how about trying this?"

She turned her head and saw a man wearing a floral shirt and white casual pants, very Hong Kong style.

In his outstretched palm were two exquisitely packaged sea salt lemon candies.

"The sea breeze is salty, the sugar is sweet, and there's a touch of lemon's tartness—doesn't that resemble our bittersweet, salty lives?"

Ruan Zhining: "..."

Oh, this.

Is he a pretentious, manipulative guy?

How come her methods are so similar to her early days as a "green tea" (a manipulative woman)?

She suddenly understood how Wen Chongyan felt when he appraised her tea.

At the same time, she also felt a sense of kinship with the man in front of her.

As a top-tier "green tea" (a manipulative woman), Ruan Zhining could naturally tell that this man in the floral shirt had feelings for her.

But that's perfect. She'd better stay home for a few days and not fish in the river, but being all alone on the cruise ship would be too miserable...

Having a travel companion is a good thing.

Ruan Zhining took the candy from him, smiled melancholy, and said, "Really? But my life right now is only sour... I hope this candy can sweeten my life."

The man in the floral shirt was startled, and a surge of protective instincts welled up in his eyes.

Ruan Zhining observed this. A scheming woman can't afford to lose to someone of her own kind, especially one of lower caliber.

She also thought that Wen Chongyan should be able to see her from where she was standing.

Hopefully, he'll discover she has a new friend and completely abandon the idea of ​​getting the discarded items (the 40 bracelet) back!

As Ruan Zhining had predicted, Wen Chongyan did indeed see it—

When he looked away, he casually took two more sips of coffee.

Jiang Linfeng also saw it and was quite surprised. "Who is the man who's hitting on Zhi Ning? Ayan, do you know him?"

"I don't know him," Wen Chongyan said calmly.

But the coffee had probably cooled down, and suddenly it wasn't smooth anymore; it was so bitter that he frowned.

He put it down with a cold expression.

"Why did you suddenly start talking to him? This man doesn't seem to be from Beijing, and he's standing so close. Zhi Ning must be scared."

As Jiang Linfeng spoke, he glanced at the deck a few more times, his tone revealing displeasure.

Wen Chongyan sneered as he listened.

What's there to be afraid of? Even a green tea b*tch can be afraid? She's incredibly skilled at seducing men, better than anyone else.

Within minutes, a man had taken the bait. Another fool.

Hearing Wen Chongyan's cold laugh, which she interpreted as a mockery of Ruan Zhining's womanizing ways, the rich woman suddenly felt confident.

She whispered, "Mr. Wen, Brother Linfeng, there are some things I shouldn't say... but yesterday afternoon, I saw Xiao Ruan go back to her room carrying a luxury shopping bag! It must have been bought for her by some man!"

"..." Wen Chongyan's long fingers, which were resting on the table, paused. His eyes suddenly turned extremely cold.

It's like feeling annoyed by something.

The wealthy woman thought this was the richest man's way of showing his dislike for Ruan Zhining. She became even more excited as she spoke:

"And a friend of mine told me that last night someone in a secondhand group resold a limited edition bracelet, a cruise ship exclusive, for double the price! She made 20 in one go! I wonder if the guy who bought the necklace for her will be spitting blood if he finds out! Hahaha."

Wen Chongyan, "…………"

His gaze suddenly shifted from cold to sinister.

The rich woman trembled with fright. She thought to herself, "Does the richest man dislike Ruan Zhining that much? His attitude is too intense!"

Jiang Linfeng asked doubtfully, "Are you sure it's Zhi Ning who's selling the necklace? Show me her profile picture."

The rich woman's arrogance vanished instantly: "...It's a secondary account. It's not registered under my real name."

"So it can't be Zhi Ning. Don't talk nonsense. Your attitude has been bad since yesterday. Zhi Ning's family isn't well-off, and you've made snide remarks about her, so she doesn't want to talk to us anymore."

After reprimanding her, Jiang Linfeng gave the rich woman a few warning glances.

The wealthy woman was furious and wanted to argue back, but the sales assistants at the luxury store would never reveal a customer's privacy.

She has no evidence!

Ruan Zhining is such a high-level green tea b*tch, she acts so meticulously, how come she doesn't have that ability?!

"Zhining is such a good girl, it must be because I haven't treated her well. I was afraid of hurting her pride, which is why I didn't buy her anything for the time being. I didn't expect someone to take advantage of this!"

Jiang Linfeng sighed and blamed himself.

The sinister look in Wen Chongyan's eyes intensified.

What a nice girl. She's just a manipulative, green tea bitch who constantly changes her targets.

But he doesn't know her new target at all.

They weren't his relatives or friends, so he had no reason to care.

There are plenty of stupid men out there, so it's their own fault for being fooled by a manipulative woman. What's it to them?

but.

What is this man's name?

There shouldn't be any collaboration between Wen Rui and him?

Wen Chongyan's handsome face was covered with a layer of frost, and this was the first time he had thought about a man so carefully.

Just then, Jiang Linfeng, as if prepared, stood up:

"I brought Zhi Ning on board, I can't just abandon her."

"Come on, Ayan, come with me. Go and save face for me."

on the deck.

Ruan Zhining had no idea that the rich woman was talking badly about her behind her back.

She was still chatting with the man in the floral shirt. It was just a casual chat, but perhaps because she was the one who was hooking up, and now she was being hooked herself, it was a bit of a novel experience.

She thought to herself, "So this is what it feels like to be hooked."

No matter what she said, the man in the floral shirt supported her and echoed her. It was incredibly emotionally engaging.

She then concluded in her mind that she was a seller of emotional value.

If she wants to sell at a higher price, she needs to learn to better manipulate people's emotions. Ah, another valuable lesson.

Ruan Zhining couldn't help but look gratefully at the man in the floral shirt in front of her.

She was thinking that they could have lunch together, and maybe she could continue to summarize the lessons.

"Mr. Xu..." she was about to speak.

"Zhi Ning".

Suddenly someone called her name.

Ruan Zhining suddenly turned her head and found that the person who came was Jiang Linfeng.

—And then there was Wen Chongyan. He walked slowly behind, like a powerful figure with a strong presence, exuding an extremely imposing aura.

However, this powerful backer is now looking at her with a very indifferent gaze.

Ruan Zhining: "..."

Oh no. Will Wen Chongyan ask her for the bracelet back?

She received a deposit from a rich woman!

She immediately tensed up.

To express her "sincere heart," she deliberately stood a little further away from Jiang Linfeng.

But this meant she ended up standing next to the man in the floral shirt.

Ruan Zhining raised her face and secretly smiled at Wen Chongyan in a friendly manner.

But she received no response. Wen Chongyan seemed even more indifferent towards her.

...She really can't win over a tea connoisseur.

I really want to know which amazing woman Wen Chongyan will marry in the future.

"Zhining, can you introduce me? And who is this gentleman?" Jiang Linfeng asked politely.

"This is Mr. Xu..."

Before Ruan Zhining could finish speaking, the man in the floral shirt suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"President Wen, it's you! Do you remember me?"

?

For some reason, Ruan Zhining felt that Wen Chongyan's indifference seemed to have suddenly warmed up.
