Urban System: Beautiful lady, I really didn't steal your black stockings!
Chapter 50 Sending a Green Hat
As the woman spoke of these things, her eyes were filled with disappointment and despair: "I've advised him countless times to find a stable job, but he just wouldn't listen. This time, I'm truly heartbroken."
After listening, Cheng Zhe looked at the man with a hint of disdain, thinking to himself: So that's how it is. All these years, he's been aiming too high and has no sense of responsibility. It's really unacceptable.
Seeing that Cheng Zhe understood, and fearing that the man would continue to pester her, the woman quickly took two steps forward, leaned closer to Cheng Zhe, and whispered, "Sir, could you please give me a ride? Could you help me avoid him? Otherwise, he'll definitely keep following me."
Cheng Zhe's heart skipped a beat. This perfectly matched the mission requirement of "helping women get rid of entanglements." He immediately nodded: "Okay, I can give you a ride."
As soon as they finished talking, the man lunged at them like a madman, and Cheng Zhe instinctively reached out to stop him.
Seeing the woman about to leave, the man's legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud: "Wife, I was wrong, please don't go! Don't leave me, okay?"
This kneeling did not move the woman; instead, it made her look even more disgusted. She took a few steps back and said, "You look disgusting. There are people around. Don't embarrass yourself here."
Cheng Zhe looked at the man kneeling on the ground, begging humbly, and also showed disdain. He thought to himself: What's the use of just kneeling and begging now? Why didn't you think about the consequences back then?
The woman didn't bother to look at the man again and turned to walk towards Cheng Zhe's Mercedes.
Cheng Zhe glanced at the man who was still kneeling on the ground crying and shouting, shook his head, and thought that he had only himself to blame for what he had done, so there was no need to interfere anymore. He then turned around and followed the woman, opening the passenger door.
The woman thanked him, bent down and got in. Cheng Zhe closed the car door, walked around to the driver's side, and started the car.
The woman, sitting in the passenger seat, calmed her rapid breathing slightly. She turned her head to look at Cheng Zhe, who was holding the steering wheel, and gave him a slightly apologetic smile. She said softly, "Thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long he would have kept bothering me."
Cheng Zhe stared ahead, observing the system interface's task completion notification, having gained 24 hours of mind-reading ability.
With a faint smile on her lips, she replied gently, "It's nothing, don't mention it. Anyone would lend a hand in this situation."
The woman nodded, and after a few seconds of silence, she said as if talking to herself, "My name is Tang Xinrou, and I'm twenty-eight years old."
After she finished speaking, her eyes dimmed, and her voice carried an undisguised weariness and despair.
"It's kind of ridiculous, but five years of marriage have exhausted all my youth and expectations. I feel like my life is ruined."
Cheng Zhe glanced at her in the rearview mirror and saw the loneliness in her eyes. He didn't say much, but simply comforted her softly, "Don't say that. Only by ending the wrong one can you meet the right one. There's still a long road ahead."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan felt a warmth rise in her heart, and her gaze towards Cheng Zhe softened even more.
Her gaze unconsciously swept around the car. The Mercedes' interior was simple yet sophisticated, exuding quality in every detail. This reminded her of Cheng Zhe's designer casual wear.
The conversation suddenly shifted, and she asked with a hint of probing, "Young man, seeing you drive such a nice car at such a young age, your job must be very impressive, right? Do you have a girlfriend?"
"My name is Cheng Zhe." He corrected the way he was addressed first, then smiled and said in a calm tone.
"I'm not particularly outstanding. I'm a manager at a company now, and I'm not considered very capable."
"My monthly salary is over 10,000 yuan, and with some stock investments I make, I've earned quite a bit. I currently have a partner."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Xinrou's eyes lit up instantly, like starlight suddenly igniting in the dim night sky.
She suppressed her overwhelming joy, but her face still couldn't help but reveal a hint of undisguised delight.
The perfect man! These four words instantly popped into her mind.
Young and promising, he became a company manager at a young age, with a stable and generous income, as well as an investment acumen; his economic strength is beyond doubt.
What's even more commendable is his sense of responsibility. When he saw her being harassed, he stepped forward despite the misunderstanding, which made her feel good about him.
Now, with this calm and reliable temperament, he is simply the ideal partner she has always dreamed of.
As for the question about having a boyfriend, she naturally ignored it. She was beautiful and had never been rejected by a man since she was a child.
Tang Xinrou's heartbeat quickened involuntarily, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.
She lowered her eyes, her mind racing with thoughts.
How could she have more interaction with him? Should she proactively exchange contact information, or find an excuse to invite him to dinner to express her gratitude? She pondered this over and over in her mind, thinking about the most natural way to start the conversation.
Cheng Zhe noticed something was off about the person next to him, turned his head to look at her, and met her evasive gaze.
A series of clear thoughts instantly flooded his mind—it was the mind-reading technique that had worked, revealing Tang Xinrou's thoughts to him.
To his further amusement and exasperation, a line of eye-catching text appeared out of nowhere above Tang Xinrou's head: "Find him by any means necessary, he's the one!"
Cheng Zhe felt a surge of embarrassment, but he maintained a calm demeanor and didn't say anything. He simply asked casually, "Where are you planning to go next? I'll take you there."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xinrou's eyes flickered with panic for a moment, and she stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence: "I...I haven't thought about it yet..."
Her thoughts were clearly transmitted to Cheng Zhe's mind again: Go to his house? Wouldn't that be too direct? It would definitely scare him! No, no, that's too rash.
I'll have him take me to the hotel first. I'll find an opportunity later to make him fall for me.
Upon seeing these straightforward and bold ideas, Cheng Zhe's embarrassment was instantly replaced by a strange excitement.
Cheng Zhe's gaze inadvertently swept over Tang Xinrou's flushed cheeks, and when he thought about her special situation of not yet completely getting rid of her status as a wife, a strange sense of excitement surged into his heart.
Thinking of that humble guy from earlier, whose wife was now about to throw herself into his arms, he couldn't help but start imagining what it would be like if the guy found out.
When we get to the hotel, what will she do? Will she feign modesty and find an excuse to leave her contact information, or will she muster up the courage to throw herself into his arms?
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhe's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the man who had just knelt on the ground and begged so humbly.
The man was still standing there weeping bitterly, unaware that the wife he so desperately wanted to win back had already developed feelings for another man.
If his wife is too proactive, I wouldn't mind giving him a cuckold's horns.
Before Cheng Zhe could think any further, Tang Xinrou hesitated for a long time before finally mustering up the courage to speak: "Mr. Cheng, I... I just came from home and don't have a place to stay right now. Could you please take me to a nearby hotel for the night?"
Cheng Zhe already knew her plan, but he remained calm and replied gently, "No problem. There's a chain hotel nearby with a nice atmosphere. I'll take you there."
