To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

Just then, a message popped up on his phone.

Su Ping initially didn't think much of it, but after seeing the sender's name, he suddenly sat up straight.

His eyes held a hint of excitement.

Seeing this, someone nearby said, "Why are you so excited? Did your goddess message you?"

Su Ping smiled knowingly: "She really is a goddess; she actually invited me for coffee tomorrow!"

The man next to him sat up abruptly: "Damn, Su Ping, you're amazing! You got her so quickly?"

Another person said, "You have to admit, Su Ping's reputation as a Casanova isn't undeserved!"

Su Ping said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. I'm just playing around with those ordinary women; this is the real show!"

Thinking of Zhao Wan'er's devilish figure, he unconsciously licked his lips.

"Alright, I'm leaving now!"

After saying a few words, Su Ping left.

Watching Su Ping's retreating figure, one of them scoffed, "If it weren't for Professor Ji's reputation, who would even glance at him? He's always acting all high and mighty!"

The next afternoon, Zhao Wan'er arrived at the agreed-upon coffee shop ten minutes early.

Today she asked her mother about that person again.

But for some reason, my mother insisted that I meet that person.

But now, her mother doesn't want to tell her anything about that person anymore.

Zhao Wan'er thought the other party had done something to anger her mother.

But the mother's subconscious praise for that student was genuine.

Some even said with a touch of regret, "Why isn't the other person my son?"

This puzzled her.

Why did my mother's attitude change so much in just one night?

Was it because I made an excuse to go out that I angered my mother?

Zhao Wan'er couldn't understand it.

Therefore, she is now even more eager to inquire about Jiang Jinhuan from Su Ping.

Today she wore a black turtleneck sweater with a camel coat over it, and her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders.

Even without deliberately dressing up, she possesses a flamboyant, wild beauty, attracting considerable attention simply by sitting there.

When Su Ping arrived, he saw her sitting by the window, and his heart skipped a beat.

He took a deep breath, straightened his collar, and strode over, sporting what he considered his most charming smile: "Senior sister, you're here so early."

"Yeah, I was passing by, so I came a little earlier." Zhao Wan'er looked up at him, put down her phone, and said, "Have a seat!"

Su Ping sat down opposite her and beckoned the waiter to order a latte.

He tried to appear composed, flashing what he thought was a very handsome smile!

"Senior sister, is there something you wanted to ask me out today?" Su Ping asked tentatively.

Zhao Wan'er picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and said without beating around the bush, "Su Ping, I want to ask you about someone."

Su Ping's smile faltered slightly: "Who is it?"

"That guy in my mom's lab yesterday," Zhao Wan'er said, looking at him. "My mom said he was there to discuss a patent collaboration. I heard he's also from Jiangcheng University. You should know him, right? What's his name?"

Su Ping's fingers stopped.

He hadn't expected that Zhao Wan'er's invitation to meet him was actually to inquire about news from Jiangjin Huandao.

Yesterday, when Zhao Wan'er ran out in that direction at the lab entrance, he had a bad feeling.

Now this premonition has come true; Zhao Wan'er seems to really be interested in that Jiang Jin Huan!

Su Ping lowered her eyes, picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and when she looked up again, her face still held that gentle smile: "Oh, you mean him? His name is... what was it again... I think I've forgotten!"

Zhao Wan'er was clearly disappointed upon hearing this.

"You don't know him either?"

"I wasn't very familiar with him; that day was the first time I met him. I think he was a senior, majoring in finance, and supposedly had a bad reputation at school."

Zhao Wan'er frowned slightly: "Bad reputation? What's wrong with it?"

Su Ping pretended to hesitate and touched his nose, then lowered his voice: "I heard it from someone else. They said he has a messy private life and has unclear relationships with several girls."

Someone on the campus forum had previously exposed that he used women to climb the social ladder and that he spent women's money.

Senior sister, it's best to be careful when dealing with this kind of person. They're full of tricks and not a good person at all!

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Wan'er, who was deep in thought, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

Zhao Wan'er asked, "Would he be that kind of person?"

The image of myself being rescued after falling into the water involuntarily flashed through my mind.

She shook her head violently at the sight of that handsome profile and the calm gaze that showed no lust whatsoever.

Zhao Wan'er looked up at Su Ping and asked, "You're saying he climbed the social ladder by relying on women and then took their money?"

"Yes, it's all over the forums."

"But I heard he's recently started a new energy project. Would someone with that capability lack money?"

Zhao Wan'er's tone was somewhat cold, "My mom said he has a very accurate eye and a broad perspective. Are you sure the person you're talking about is the same person my mom is referring to?"

Su Ping's smile froze slightly.

He didn't expect Zhao Wan'er to directly refute him with Professor Ji's words.

Professor Ji's reputation and character at the university are universally acknowledged.

Her words carried far more weight than Su Ping's.

He hadn't expected Professor Ji to have such a high opinion of Jiang Jinhuan, which made him feel even worse.

"Senior Sister, I only heard about it from others, it might be just hearsay..." Su Ping quickly added, "But it's spread so widely now, it can't be entirely baseless, right?"

Zhao Wan'er put down her coffee cup, looked at him for a while, and then smiled.

"Su Ping, didn't you say you didn't even know his name? But I can tell you know a lot about him!"

Su Ping paused for a moment, then said somewhat guiltily, "I only heard it from someone else. I've completely forgotten his name; I still can't remember it!"

Zhao Wan'er gave Su Ping a deep look, then suddenly said, "I will verify what you said today myself! Don't worry about what others think, just do your own thing."

Jiang Jinhuan saved him, and he did not use this as an excuse to repay the Zhao family's kindness!

It was as if he had done something insignificant.

This kind of person is definitely not a bad person, so she didn't really believe Su Ping's words!

Furthermore, Su Ping's behavior was inconsistent, which made her doubt the credibility of Su Ping's words!

Su Ping's expression changed slightly, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but Zhao Wan'er had already stood up.

"I have to go now. The coffee's on me, you can enjoy it."

She picked up her bag, turned around, and walked out of the coffee shop.

Zhao Wan'er was somewhat disappointed; she hadn't gotten any useful information from Su Ping.

This made her a little irritated.

Su Ping sat in his seat, watching her figure quickly disappear outside the door, and the smile on his face completely vanished.

Since entering the room, Zhao Wan'er has barely spoken a few words to him.

All of them revolve around the topic of Jiangjin Huandao.

This made him very unhappy.

He gripped the handle of the coffee cup tightly, his eyes so dark they seemed to drip water.

"Jiang Jin Huan..." he squeezed out the name through clenched teeth, his fingers clenching so tightly they cracked.

He was clearly the student closest to Professor Ji, and he was the one who had the chance to get close to Zhao Wan'er. So why did Jiang Jinhuan, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, make her so interested in him just by showing his face?

Su Ping took a deep breath, picked up his coffee and gulped it down, the bitter taste spreading across his tongue.

"I won't let you succeed. Who do you think you are? Just a gigolo who climbed the social ladder by relying on women. What makes you better than me? Why is your senior sister paying so much attention to you?"

Su Ping's hatred for Jiang Jin Huan Dao reached its peak at this moment!
