Shocking! This student is phenomenal!

"That has happened, and now we are in a very passive situation. If you don't help us, we really have no choice but to commit mass suicide."

"At that time, you'll be all alone. You won't have any confidence no matter who you marry, and you won't even have a family to rely on."

Su Jiang had his back to Zhao Yinglu, mixing the seasonings while listening to the conversation between the brother and sister behind him.

Especially those few words spoken by Zhao Yinglu's brother made Su Jiang really want to go up and give him a big purse.

"Brother! Don't push me like this!"

Zhao Yinglu's voice was already starting to sound like she was about to cry.

"What do you mean 'we forced you'?!"

"You're the one pushing us! You're driving us to our deaths, trying to kill us?"

"For you, as long as you marry that young master Wang, everything will be fine, and we can even work with his family to earn some money."

"What's so difficult about that? Young Master Wang also said that he will definitely treat you well in the future. His father is the general manager of a sales department of the Xiandai Group. It is said that the Xiandai Group was acquired by a big shot who wants to develop some high-tech products."

"Then not only can you easily become a wealthy socialite, but we can also get official positions within the Xiandai Group. Our Zhao family will surely rise to prominence!"

When Zhao Yinglu's brother got to this point, he made a loud swallowing sound, as if he could already see their Zhao family rising to the upper echelons of Kyoto's society because Zhao Yinglu had married into a good family.

It's clear how tempting the things he just mentioned were to him.

However, Zhao Yinglu was completely unmoved by her brother's words.

Putting everything else aside, in terms of conditions, it's true that Young Master Wang is rich and powerful. His father earns several million a year at the Xiandai Group, and his sales commissions are in the millions every year.

Moreover, he possesses a wealth of resources and an extremely wide network of connections.

However, Zhao Yinglu had met that young master Wang before, and he was indeed a greasy young man.

That face full of fat could yield three pounds of lard.

Let alone marrying Young Master Wang, even just having a meal together makes Zhao Yinglu feel like throwing up.

In addition, Zhao Yinglu's relationship with Ouyang Feng is still very stable.

Although Zhao Yinglu was once overshadowed by Lin Wanqing, Ouyang Feng was still very satisfied with having a girlfriend like Zhao Yinglu.

I never mentioned breaking up to him.

She also enjoyed being with Ouyang Feng, and the two had even been planning their future for a long time, including where to buy a house and where to live.

How could she so easily find a new person just for money!

"I really don't like that young master Wang; I can't develop feelings for him!"

Zhao Yinglu stubbornly insisted that she was now truly being put on the spot.

Both sides are equally dear to him; on one side is his family, and on the other is Ouyang Feng, whom he had pursued for many years before finally winning his heart.

Giving up either side is something I can't bear to do.

"Feelings are bullshit!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yinglu's brother immediately became anxious and shouted in a low voice.

Even when he said the word "fart," saliva sprayed out of his mouth.

It sprayed all over the table.

"Do you know what feelings are? They're like this bone—it smells delicious, but you can't put it in your mouth."

"What's the use? When you get to my age and experience the ups and downs of life, you'll realize that relationships are just a way for poor people to comfort themselves. Money is the king of this society, and self-interest is the only weapon to protect a family."

"You need to understand that once you get married, everything costs money: food, a house, gas. If you don't have money, are you going to treat people to meals or buy them things based on your feelings? Do you think they'll even care?"

Zhao Yinglu's brother offered earnest advice.

"Once you're with that young master Wang, your lives will be much easier. Then you can nurture your feelings gradually!"

"In your female-oriented novels, don't you always emphasize marriage first and love later? Get married first, and then slowly cultivate feelings."

......

Su Jiang couldn't listen anymore after hearing this, wondering if Ouyang Feng knew about it.

If I knew, I'm afraid I'd become depressed.

Su Jiang picked up the dipping sauce he had prepared for himself and Lin Wanqing and went to the table.

"Why did it take you so long to adjust it?"

Lin Wanqing thanked him and took the dipping sauce that Su Jiang had prepared for her according to her taste.

On the other hand, someone asked out of curiosity.

Su Jiang quietly recounted what he had just overheard to Lin Wanqing.

"Huh?" Lin Wanqing was stunned when she heard this.

"Then, wasn't Ouyang Feng in a terrible state?"

She remembered how Ouyang Feng had always done everything in his power to help Su Jiang when he was in trouble.

It's really heartbreaking to see a roommate like this suffer such a terrible fate.

"I'll look into it later and see if I can help him."

Su Jiang nodded and said vaguely.

Of course, he would definitely consult Ouyang Feng about this matter. If Ouyang Feng really needed his help, he would definitely step in.

But if Ouyang Feng also thinks this woman isn't worth it, then he won't bother worrying about her.

"Here, this is the lamb I roasted for you."

"Your hands and feet are cold because you don't have enough Yang energy in your body. Lamb is good for warming the body, so eat more of it."

As Su Jiang spoke, he placed two large pieces of mutton between his fingers and Lin Wanqing's.

And you know what? The lamb in this shop must have undergone special processing.

Although there is still some muttony smell, it is not that strong. With some dipping sauce, it is not only chewy but also full of meaty aroma. The taste can be described as superb.

It tastes much better than those cherry blossom-style Korean BBQ or kimchi-style Korean BBQ.

"I ordered this lamb kidney especially for you."

While Su Jiang was still enjoying his meal.

The waiter placed a plate of lamb kidneys between them.

Su Jiang was taken aback; he hadn't ordered this. He was about to ask the waiter.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing quickly stopped him and explained softly.

"You often, cough cough, say your lower back is uncomfortable, so I'm giving you some tonic."

Su Jiang: "..."

So, you're starting to dislike it?

He looked around and then leaned closer.

"I realized a long time ago why my back was uncomfortable. It's because I moved around on it for too long. If it were anyone else, would they feel comfortable moving around on it for an hour or two?"

"Next time, you can stay on top and let me enjoy myself, then I won't eat this."

"I'm afraid that if I take it, it will become even stronger, and then we won't be able to sleep at night."

Su Jiang's soft words made Lin Wanqing's ears turn red.

However, she still lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement: "Then tonight, I'll be on top."

After saying that, I felt my face was so hot it could cook a whole piece of meat.

"Okay, then I absolutely have to do the splits tonight!"

P.S.: I feel like this cough isn't going to get better. I washed my hair and took a shower yesterday, and it started again today. This little virus has turned my constitution, which is usually as delicate as Zhong Wuyan's, into that of a master craftsman.
