Chapter 123: Chapter 124: Scaring Away the Stingy Man
Upon learning of He Junqing’s weakness, Xu Ying gave Gu Fuying a tip.
Gu Fuying had so concerns upon hearing this, “Can this really work?”
“Why can’t it work, we’re not spending his money, just give it a try, I think it can.” Xu Qiuye said.
She was now especially curious about He Junqing’s reaction.
The three of them gathered their information and then withdrew.
The very next day, as soon as it was afternoon and ti to leave work, He Junqing, sure enough, ran to find Gu Fuying again.
...
Gu Fuying, with a face full of anger, said, “I already told you I don’t like you, don’t bother anymore.
You’re much older than I am, older than my big brother even; we’re not suitable.”
He Junqing, with a smile of an honest man, said, “Fuying, I truly like you.
I may be sowhat older, but I will definitely treat you well.”
Gu Fuying looked up at him and said, “How will you treat well, by giving all your money to ?”
At that, He Junqing’s face turned a tad embarrassed.
Seeing that this trick really worked, Gu Fuying continued, “If you give all your money, I might consider it, but you know my family is well-off.
I have to eat out every day, both lunch and dinner, just spending two or three yuan.
If you can do that, then I might consider dating you.”
“You spend ten yuan a day just on als?” He Junqing widened his eyes and opened his mouth, looking utterly deflated.
Gu Fuying lifted her chin, “Yeah, my salary isn’t enough to cover my expenses, but I have my parents.
I heard from my aunt that your monthly salary is fifty or sixty yuan, will you give it all to ?”
He Junqing hesitated, but rembering what his grandfather had said, he steeled his heart, “As long as you date , I’ll give you my salary.”
This caught Gu Fuying off guard, and Xu Qiuye hurriedly tugged at her sleeve, “Ask him for it, he surely won’t want to part with it.”
“Okay then, give your salary.” Gu Fuying extended her hand.
After so hesitation and inner turmoil, He Junqing slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out five yuan, “This is all I have on right now, take this first.”
Gu Fuying’s extended hand felt awkward, looking at the money she was almost frantic, why did he really give her money, wasn’t he supposed to be stingy?
What to do now.
Sweat beaded on Gu Fuying’s forehead.
“Let’s go find Yingying first, see what she says.” Xu Qiuye suggested.
Gu Fuying quickly nodded, right, go find Xu Ying, she surely has a plan.
“I’m going to eat at a restaurant now, do you want to co with ?” Gu Fuying glanced at him and asked.
He Junqing nodded and followed behind her.
Gu Fuying felt increasingly uneasy along the way, she really wasn’t going to marry this man, was she?
As the entrance to the restaurant grew closer, her heart raced faster.
“Give the money, and I won’t bother you anymore.” Just as they were about to enter, He Junqing, with a pained expression, couldn’t overco his stinginess.
This woman spends too much; he couldn’t keep up with her in the future.
Gu Fuying was thrilled to finally hear this and quickly handed the money over to him.
“Dead cheap.”
“You wouldn’t be cheap if you spent money on .” He Junqing retorted, “Won really are pragmatic, just loving to spend money, no idea how to live life.”
With that, he turned and stord off, fuming.
Gu Fuying was infuriated by his words, “Absolutely speechless, how can there be such a person, when my brother and sister-in-law were dating, he also spent money on her daily.
He didn’t invest anything, how could he make a girl willingly marry and have children with him.
He thought marriage and having children was easy? A slight carelessness could cost your life, and he wasn’t willing to spend a di on anyone. What did they gain from marrying him?
Was it his stinginess or did they run to his house to work for free and risk their lives to bear his children for him? Ridiculous.
“That’s enough, why get mad over such a person? It’s not worth it,” Xu Ying ran over to console.
What Gu Fuying said was true; childbirth for won was indeed terrifying, especially in an era when dical science wasn’t well-developed.
In her past life, her sister-in-law had complications during delivery which injured her body and left her with many chronic illnesses.
After her older brother passed away, she couldn’t hold on much longer.
The more Gu Fuying thought about it, the angrier she beca. Her aunt had given her such a big surprise; shouldn’t she return the favor?
Xu Ying instantly thought of Dong Wenqiang, this troubleso guy.
It was the sa these few tis; he blocked her way after work. Surely not all n pursued won in this manner.
Pretending to pick up soone after work, in reality, he gave nothing and faked a lovesick appearance, utterly disgusting.
However, Dong Wenqiang would co by every other day; he hadn’t shown up yesterday, so he would definitely co today.
“Fuying, isn’t your cousin still unmarried? I should introduce soone to her!” Xu Ying suggested.
Gu Fuying gave her a disdainful look, “Are you for real?”
“Yeah, she gave you such a big gift, shouldn’t you return the favor with sothing even bigger?” Xu Ying raised her eyebrows; her clear, large eyes filled with mischief.
Gu Fuying instantly understood her aning and suddenly beca interested, “Alright, what do you want to do?”
“Bring your cousin here for a al tomorrow.”
Xu Qiuye, who was beside them, shook his head in awe, “These two really have a strong vengeful spirit.”
Xu Ying’s wit was unmatched; anyone who tried to bully her was fooling themselves.
After lunch, Xu Qiuye and Gao Fuying rushed to work. As it happened, Dong Wenqiang arrived at the store.
This ti Xu Ying’s attitude towards him was sowhat acceptable, without the previous disgust.
Dong Wenqiang thought his pursuit had finally paid off and smiled so hard his eyes squinted.
“Yingying, have you had lunch yet?”
“Dong Wenqiang, you were instructed by Chen Yanran to pursue , weren’t you?” Xu Ying tapped the table, “Let guess why!
You don’t want to suffer, right? Chen Yanran told you I was wealthy and pursued —my dad is still the team leader and might be able to get you a spot to return to the city.”
“Return to the city spot!” Dong Wenqiang was shocked; he had never even considered this.
Reminded by Xu Ying, he suddenly beca uneasy, looking at Xu Ying as if she were a treasure.
Xu Ying ignited a spark in his heart, only to extinguish it in the next mont.
“Actually, I already have a partner, and he’s very outstanding. Forget your thoughts.”
Dong Wenqiang disbelievingly said, “Impossible, I’ve investigated—you’ve been pursuing my cousin relentlessly for years.
It’s only this year that you’ve had a falling out, and you found soone else in such a short ti? Who are you trying to fool?”
Seeing his disbelief, Xu Ying sighed, “Believe it or not, I even thought about introducing you to a city girl who could help you find a way back to the city.
But since you’re unwilling, forget I said anything.”
Having said this, Xu Ying turned to leave.
Dong Wenqiang was full of suspicion; he was not a fool. Given Xu Ying knew he was pursuing her with an agenda, why would she kindly offer to introduce him to soone?
However, with a glimr of hope, he stopped Xu Ying: “Xu Ying, what do you want to do for you?”
“Smart, talking to you is truly effortless,” Xu Ying comnded.
Dong Wenqiang’s vanity was imdiately satisfied, and he couldn’t help feeling a bit proud.
