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

Zhao Wan'er's ears turned red for a moment, but she pretended not to hear and looked down at her phone.

Professor Ji smiled, then shook his head slightly and sighed.

This was just a simple meal; she wouldn't try to set them up, since Jiang Jinhuan already had a girlfriend!

On the way, Professor Ji said, "Professor Chen just called to say he had something come up and can't make it!"

Zhao Wan'er did not react otherwise, after all, her goal this time was Jiang Jin Huan!

Su Ping booked a private room on the second floor of Tingyuxuan. The environment was elegant, and a small bamboo grove could be seen from the window.

Professor Ji often eats here, and Su Ping remembered that!

When Zhao Wan'er and Professor Ji arrived, Su Ping was already there, wearing a navy blue suit and with his hair neatly combed.

It looks like every single strand of hair has been carefully styled.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was there for a blind date!

However, in Zhao Wan'er's eyes, Su Ping looked particularly greasy at this moment!

Professor Ji glanced at Su Ping thoughtfully, but did not say anything.

Zhao Wan'er only glanced at him before looking away!

Su Ping, however, was instantly captivated by Zhao Wan'er's elaborate attire.

Her waist was so slender, her legs were long and straight, her chest was full and firm, and her neck was delicate and her skin was tender.

Everything about it made his eyes widen in amazement.

He had seen many beautiful women, but he had never seen a woman as beautiful, charming, and wild as Zhao Wan'er.

Su Ping finally snapped out of her daze and immediately pulled out a chair for her. "Teacher, senior sister, you're here! I ordered the food in advance; it's all your favorites."

Zhao Wan'er frowned slightly and glanced at Su Ping, who had acted on his own initiative.

It was inappropriate for him to order food before the guests even arrived!

Professor Ji seemed to realize this as well.

She glanced at Su Ping, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent.

The other party is my mother's student, so I can't say much!

Su Ping was somewhat embarrassed at this point because he did not get the desired effect.

He had done his homework thoroughly and even figured out Zhao Wan'er's tastes.

However, Zhao Wan'er did not respond to his behavior at all, which disappointed him somewhat!

Zhao Wan'er glanced at her watch, then looked towards the door.

"Where's Jiang Jinhuan? Hasn't he arrived yet?" Zhao Wan'er asked.

Su Ping glanced at his watch, his expression unchanged: "It's probably traffic. I arranged to meet him at 6:30, and it's 6:25 now. He should be arriving soon."

Zhao Wan'er nodded without thinking much, picked up her teacup and took a sip.

But 6:30 passed, then 7:00 passed, then 7:30 passed again.

Three pots of tea were changed, and the cold dishes were already on the table. Zhao Wan'er glanced at the time on her phone, and her brows gradually furrowed.

Su Ping sat to the side, saying, "Let's wait a bit longer, there might really be traffic!"

A subtle, sinister smile flickered in his eyes.

It's not far from the school; even if you walk, it won't take long!

Professor Ji's expression also turned rather unpleasant at this point.

She put down her teacup, her tone slightly indifferent: "Su Ping, what time did you arrange to meet him?"

"Six-thirty," Su Ping said innocently. "I specifically told him six-thirty, afraid he'd be late."

Professor Ji glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already 7:40.

They were more than an hour late and didn't even send a message.

This can no longer be explained by traffic issues.

Zhao Wan'er gripped the cup tightly in her hand, and the anticipation in her heart sank little by little.

They were made to wait for an hour without even receiving a phone call. This isn't just a matter of attitude; it's a complete disregard for their feelings.

Did the other party turn their back on us after signing the contract?

She remembered what Su Ping had told her that day: this person had a loose private life, rose to power through women, and had a bad reputation.

She was still somewhat skeptical at the time, thinking that someone her mother praised so highly couldn't be too bad.

But now they're over an hour late, without even a phone call or text message, showing no basic courtesy whatsoever.

How good can a person's character be?

A sudden, inexplicable sense of loss welled up in Zhao Wan'er's heart.

Perhaps his expectations of this person were too high.

I dressed up carefully, full of hope, but this is the result I never expected!

"We can't wait any longer." Professor Ji put down his chopsticks, his tone slightly displeased. "Su Ping, contact him and tell him we've finished eating and will talk about it another time."

Su Ping quickly picked up his phone and pretended to send a message.

"Okay, teacher, I've told you."

He put down his phone, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

At this very moment, Jiang Jinhuan is revising a contract in the school library!

He glanced at his phone screen; it displayed a message from Su Ping: "8:30, Tingyuxuan, don't be late!"

The wording was somewhat stiff; it was just a mechanical notification.

Jiang Jinhuan could tell from these words that the other party disdained him, just like the phone call the other party had made not long ago.

Although it sounds normal, he can keenly sense the other party's contempt for him!

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it. We have no connection or conflict of interest, so he shouldn't have any reason to be hostile towards me!"

He calculated the time; it was 7:40, just in time to drive there.

So he packed up his computer, got up, and left the library.

The car drove towards Tingyuxuan in the east of the city in the darkness of night.

But upon entering, the room was completely empty.

Several waiters were packing things up to leave.

Upon seeing Jiang Jinhuan, the waiter asked, "Sir, would you like to reserve a private room?"

Jiang Jinhuan frowned and said, "Wasn't this private room already reserved?"

The waiter said, "Sir, the people in this private room just left. It's empty now; no one has made a reservation!"

Jiang Jinhuan was somewhat stunned.

……

At this moment, at the Zhao family villa.

Zhao Wan'er returned with a rather unpleasant expression.

Professor Ji's face also looked unwell.

"Mom, is this the promising young talent you were talking about, someone with vision and a broad perspective?"

Professor Ji frowned slightly. "I don't know why this happened. I've been teaching my whole life, and I've always considered myself good at judging people. I never expected to misjudge someone here!"

Zhao Wan'er seemed unwilling to accept this, and she snorted coldly, "If this guy only has this much emotional intelligence, how did he manage to become a multi-millionaire?"

Professor Ji was taken aback upon hearing this; today's events were indeed quite strange.

Not long ago, he had dinner with Jiang Jinhuan at home.

Furthermore, Jiang Jinhuan had invited her to dinner, so logically he shouldn't have refused her invitation.

Is there something I've overlooked?

Professor Ji took out his phone to call Jiang Jinhuan and ask him something.

Zhao Wan'er, who was standing nearby, said, "Mom, you're not going to call him, are you?"

"What? It won't work?"

"They're already showing you no respect, and you're still eagerly trying to get closer. That will only make them look down on us even more! You'd better not hit them!" Zhao Wan'er said angrily.

Professor Ji thought about it for a moment and finally put down his phone.
