Zhou Rui quickly reprimanded, "Zhou Changhe, what are you doing? If you dare to be rude to Brother Chen, I absolutely won’t let you get away with it!"
Zhou Changhe: "This is really too much! Right in front of me, you gave the flowers I sent you to him. What am I supposed to be?"
Yang Chen added Zhou Rui as a friend and said, "Miss Zhou, you guys carry on, I won’t disturb you, I need to get busy."
Zhou Rui: "I don’t like him at all, I’ve rejected him countless times, but he just won’t leave me alone. Zhou Changhe, I’m telling you once again in front of all these people, there’s no way I’m accepting you. The one I like is Brother Chen, and as long as he agrees, I’m ready to marry him with my family’s wealth anytime. I hope you respect me and yourself, don’t cause trouble for both families. I’ve been tolerating this because of our families’ long-standing relationship, but today is the last time I’ll tolerate it. If you continue this way, I’ll have the parents step in to resolve it."
Zhou Changhe suddenly exploded with anger, "Zhou Rui, you can dislike me. But how can you like a delivery guy? You’re humiliating me! If you liked a man more accomplished than me, at least I could convince myself to give up. But to like a delivery guy, how can I accept that?"
Zhou Rui: "Who I like is none of your business. My family is already wealthy enough, as long as Brother Chen doesn’t mess up, it’s enough for us to live several lifetimes. What he does for work doesn’t matter at all, the important thing is that I like him as a person."
The onlookers began to gossip.
"Being rich is so overbearing!"
"It’s nice to be wealthy; you can make friends without worrying if they have money because she has enough to spend anyway."
"Work hard to earn money, so that your kids can also make friends based on affection rather than financial ability, like this beautiful lady."
...
Yang Chen didn’t want to waste time over someone he’s not very familiar with, so he turned to leave.
But Zhou Changhe felt utterly embarrassed and wasn’t about to let him leave so easily.
"You stop right there! Give us a clear answer now; do you like her or not?" Zhou Changhe demanded.
Yang Chen: "Didn’t I say? At least for now, I don’t like her. As for the future, I can’t say."
Zhou Changhe: "Xiaorui, did you hear that? He doesn’t like you, he’s treating you as a backup. Are you really willing to wait for him to feel lonely in the future and seek you to ease his solitude?"
Zhou Rui: "I’m willing."
Zhou Changhe: "..."
Dammit, that’s just infuriating.
Just then, a group of people approached.
"Wow, Wang Nianming is here."
"Damn, did Wang Nianming come to show off?"
"This show-off changes girlfriends more often than I change clothes."
...
Wang Nianming walked over with an entourage of six girls and four men, moving with the stride of someone dripping with wealth.
Upon seeing Yang Chen in his Mi Tuan delivery outfit, Wang Nianming suddenly snapped to attention.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing here? Whoa! Why are you delivering meals?" Wang Nianming shouted as he quickly ran over to high five and shoulder bump with Yang Chen.
Yang Chen: "Damn, can I compare with you? If I don’t work, what would I eat?"
Wang Nianming: "Brother Chen, that’s not cool, you’re making me look bad here!"
Yang Chen: "No, I really envy your lifestyle. When can I too have such an open-minded approach and just enjoy life every day? I’d surely be happy."
Wang Nianming: "Haha... Brother Chen, you’re already wealthy, no need to tire yourself. What’s up with this? Got cornered by a girl to confess?"
Yang Chen: "It’s a long story. Don’t let me interfere with enjoying time with the girls, I need to go drive for gigs. Oh, by the way, deal with this one for me."
Wang Nianming nodded and said, "Okay! Brother Chen, you go ahead, I’ll handle him."
Yang Chen nodded and quickly walked away.
The onlookers were stunned: why would Wang Nianming be so polite to a delivery guy?
Wang Nianming: "What’s going on? Why are you pestering Brother Chen? You have a crush on this girl, she likes Brother Chen, and so you’re bothering Brother Chen?"
Zhou Changhe: "Brother Ming, hear me out. I ordered flowers online, Yang Chen delivered them, I gave them to Xiaorui to confess, and then Xiaorui used the flowers to confess to him. Do you think that’s fair?"
"Haha..." Wang Nianming and the crowd burst into laughter.
Wang Nianming: "The girl isn’t interested in you, pestering Brother Chen won’t help. I’m warning you, don’t think just because Brother Chen drives a ride-share and delivers food, he’s easy to bully. I even have to call him Brother Chen, do you get the message? Scram quickly, be polite to Brother Chen when you see him in the future, or I won’t let you off!"
Zhou Changhe: "Brother Ming, I don’t get it, he’s just a delivery guy, why are you so polite to him?"
Wang Nianming: "Are you dumb or what? If he were just a delivery guy, would I be so humble to him? Use your brain."
With that, Wang Nianming walked away with the girls.
Wang Nianming’s words left everyone baffled.
"No wonder, I was thinking how could a delivery guy reject such a beauty and billions in assets. Turns out he’s a hidden mogul, the kind Wang Nianming calls brother."
"That makes sense now! Only such a situation could explain why he’d refuse the beauty’s confession. He doesn’t lack money, might even be wealthier than Wang Nianming, naturally surrounded by beauties, why would he settle for just billions?"
"Being so rich and still delivering meals, can’t figure out rich people’s mindset."
"Haven’t you read online novels? The recently popular ’son-in-law’ stories all have the same theme—going back to inherit family wealth after a three-year period. This guy is surely undergoing family trials, probably a live-in son-in-law of a small family, humbly living on delivery service, but actually backed by a mighty bigwig."
"Whoa! Got that rebellious dragon vibe!"
...
Feeling as if hit by a spell, Zhou Changhe stood there numb with fear.
"Oh no, I think I shoved him earlier. Will he retaliate? Oh no, oh no, oh no..."
