Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

The moment the words "three-second man" were uttered, the guests present finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

Ping County is only so big; even the slightest disturbance will probably spread throughout the entire county within half a day.

After what happened today, Lao Wang will never be able to hold his head up in business again.

Old Wang covered his swollen face, feeling both ashamed and angry.

"Wife, wife, listen to me..." Old Wang tried one last time to grab Xia Qing's hand:

"I was drunk and confused! I swear, I'll never do it again!"

"Let's get engaged first, and I'll kneel on a washboard for you when we get back, okay?"

"Pah!" Xia Qing spat a mouthful of phlegm directly onto his face.

"I'm engaged to your grandma's father and mother!" Xia Qing pulled off her engagement ring and slammed it hard into Old Wang's face.

"You pull this kind of stunt and still want me to get engaged to you? You don't even deserve it!"

Old Wang was stunned by the blow, and his anger flared up:

"Xia Qing, don't go too far! Haven't I been good enough to you? I buy you bags and clothes, what more do you want?"

"So what if I like to have fun? Am I lacking in that area? I'll definitely behave myself after I get married, is it really necessary to humiliate me like this?"

"That was almost it?" Xia Qing seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She didn't care about her image anymore and started pointing her finger at Lao Wang's nose to expose his shortcomings.

"Do you even know what the Flash is? And you have the nerve to say I'm like a dead pig in bed?"

Xia Qing turned around and screamed hysterically:

"Look at yourself! Compared to Bai Li, you're like a newbie encountering a max-level demon king!"

"I don't even feel like it's started, and you're already whining. How can I not feel like a dead pig?"

"You've probably never seen my proactive, crazy side, have you?"

She screamed hysterically, completely disregarding Old Wang's feelings:

"That's because you're not qualified... your performance is too low..."

"How despicable is that woman to praise you like that? Get lost!"

These words are explosive.

Lin Xiaoshuang, hiding in the corner, covered her face in embarrassment, peeking at Bai Li through her fingers and muttering softly:

"So embarrassing... I didn't know my older brother was this amazing."

Chen Tingting and Li Jiaxin raised their eyebrows and looked Bai Li up and down with mischievous smiles:

"Dude...you're too explosive..."

Zhang Qian's face turned bright red, and she lowered her head without saying a word, but the look in her eyes as she looked at Bai Li was so intense it was almost sticky.

She has the most authority to speak on this because she suffers from megalophobia.

Upon hearing that he also had his own matters to attend to, Bai Li, ignoring the three's teasing, quickly waved his hand:

"Don't listen to that crazy woman's nonsense. Let's get out of here quickly, or Old Wang and his family will devour me alive."

Sure enough, upon hearing this utterly humiliating comparison, Old Wang completely lost his temper.

A man's dignity is being trampled on, especially when he's being compared to his ex-boyfriend. Who can stand that?

"Snapped!"

Old Wang swung his arm and slapped Xia Qing across the face, knocking her to the ground.

"Go to hell! You're so ungrateful!" Old Wang roared, his eyes red. "Now that we've laid our cards on the table, I'm not pretending anymore!"

"The Queen and I are the true love! Marrying you? That's just a task she gave me!"

"She said she likes married men, she finds it exciting! Otherwise, why would I be engaged to a vain, materialistic piece of trash like you?"

This decisive blow shattered Xia Qing's worldview.

Was marrying himself a task given to him by his master?

So you're just a pawn in someone else's game?

Seeing that things had escalated to this point, the surrounding guests knew that they could not finish their meal, so they all got up and left, afraid of getting splattered with blood.

Old Wang's face was so gloomy it looked like he was about to kill someone. He looked at the corner with a vicious gaze, only to find that Bai Li had already disappeared.

The parking lot outside the hotel was chilly and desolate.

Bai Li and the four girls had just walked to the Panamera when, before they could even open the car door, they heard a series of hurried and chaotic high-heeled footsteps behind them.

"Bai Li! You stop right there!"

Xia Qing's hair was disheveled, her once elegant updo now resembling a bird's nest, half of her face was swollen, and her white dress was covered in dust and Lao Wang's footprints.

She rushed over like a ghost, throwing herself onto the Panamera's hood and gripping the windshield wipers tightly.

"Get down here right now!"

Bai Li had just sat in the driver's seat when he sighed helplessly and got out of the car.

Chen Tingting and the other three immediately surrounded Bai Li, protecting her and watching the crazy woman warily.

"What else do you want?" Bai Li put his hands in his coat pockets, his eyes as calm as if he were looking at a stranger.

"What are you doing?" Xia Qing gasped for breath, her chest heaving, her eyes filled with madness. "Bai Li, why did you do this?"

"Why didn't you tell me he was this kind of person sooner? Did you just want to see me humiliated? To ruin my life and future?"

"Let me tell you, I, Xia Qing, have completely lost face today! It's all your fault! You have to take responsibility!"

She slid off the hood and stumbled towards Bai Li's sleeve:

"You ruined my marriage, you have to marry me! Let's get the marriage certificate right now! If you marry me, I'll forgive what you did today!"

"This car... even if you rented it, I'll accept it! I won't mind that you're poor, okay? Let's start over!"

Bai Li took a step back, avoiding her hand, as if avoiding something dirty.

"Are you crazy?" Bai Li sneered, his eyes full of mockery. "Do I look like a junk collector taking over someone's car? Besides, who told you this car was rented?"

Xia Qing was stunned for a moment, her eyes glazed over: "No...it's impossible, where did you get the money...?"

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly."

Chen Tingting, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, took out her driver's license from the car and shoved it directly in front of Xia Qing's face.

"All: Bai Li." Chen Tingting pointed to the name on the list, her tone smug. "One million three hundred thousand, full payment, the car was delivered in five days. See it clearly?"

Xia Qing stared intently at the name, reaching out to snatch the notebook to verify its authenticity.

Chen Tingting reacted quickly, snatching the object back in a flash, causing Chen Tingting to miss her target and nearly fall flat on her face.

"How is this possible... how is this possible..." Xia Qing muttered to herself, her body trembling violently, as if her worldview had completely collapsed at this moment.

She remembered Bai Li's gentleness towards her, Bai Li's invincible performance, and the wealth that this luxury car represented.

Rich, incredibly handsome, in great health, and super young.

And what did she choose?

An old, ugly, fat man who only lasts three seconds and treats her like a mission tool!

"How could you possibly be so rich?!" Xia Qing suddenly looked up, letting out a heart-wrenching scream:

"You used to be so poor! You wouldn't even buy me a lipstick that cost two hundred yuan! You've been lying to me! You've been lying to me all along!"

"I didn't lie to you." Bai Li looked down at her, his eyes cold.

"I didn't buy it back then because I felt that money should be spent wisely, saving for our future. Now I have money because..."

He glanced at Zhang Qian and Chen Tingting beside him and smiled:

"It's because I've learned that money should be spent on people who deserve it."

"And you don't deserve it."

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential'?"

These words struck Xia Qing like a heavy hammer blow to the top of her head.

What did she miss?

She missed the only chance in her life to transcend social class and achieve perfect happiness.

She personally pushed away a god-like man and picked up a pile of shit, holding it in her arms like a treasure.

Overwhelmed by immense regret and resentment, she lost all reason.

"Ah—!! I don't believe it! I can't take it anymore!"

"I can't breathe..."

Xia Qing's eyes rolled back, she couldn't catch her breath, her body went limp, and she fell straight backward.

With a thud, it fell onto the flower bed next to it.

"She's already passed out?" Lin Xiaoshuang was startled, almost dropping the spicy snack she hadn't finished eating. "Big brother, should we call an ambulance?"

"Why call an ambulance? A scourge will live a thousand years, it won't die." Bai Li didn't even glance at Xia Qing, who had fainted in the flower bed, and turned to open the car door.

In the distance, Xia Qing's parents were running towards them in a fit of rage, shouting something.

"Get in the car, let's go." The system's reward is truly amazing; the kidney booster has already urged the liver to completely eliminate the alcohol.

With a slam on the gas, the Panamera roared, its exhaust spraying the faces of Xia's parents who had just run over, before speeding away.

All that remained was the woman in the stained wedding dress, lying in the withered flowerbed, who became the biggest joke in Ping County that winter.
