At first, Shen Ruoxuan thought she had misread it.
She counted it three times before she was truly certain that it was 1,130,000.
Noticing the woman's somewhat surprised expression, Su Jie seemed to only then realize what was happening and quickly snatched the phone back. "There's nothing to see!"
After her phone was snatched back, Shen Ruoxuan felt a sense of loss, as if the money inside was hers.
She had never seen so much money before, only in police dramas.
After Su Jie left the Huawei flagship store with the latest Huawei P70 Pro, Shen Ruoxuan finally couldn't help but ask, "How do you have so much money?"
Su Jie said calmly, "Earned it."
Shen Ruoxuan asked curiously, "How did you earn it?"
Su Jie made up a random excuse: "Stock trading, cryptocurrency trading."
Shen Ruoxuan was a little envious. "You're really amazing."
"It's not that impressive."
Su Jie humbly replied, "I know a very capable older sister who is willing to take me along."
As he spoke, he tugged at his clothes, "I had dinner with her yesterday, and she bought this for me."
Shen Ruoxuan blinked. "You're not being kept by a sugar daddy, are you?"
"Kept woman/sugar baby?"
Su Jie chuckled. "I'd love to be kept, but no one would be interested in me."
When the topic turned to gossip, Shen Ruoxuan's voice gradually returned to normal. "What does your older sister do?"
Su Jie opened WeChat, found Xu Qingman's Moments, and said, "See for yourself."
Picking up her phone and scrolling through it, Shen Ruoxuan said enviously, "This is the life I want."
She's a discerning person.
If everything the woman in the photo is wearing and carrying is genuine, it would definitely cost at least several million.
A watch costs millions, a bag costs hundreds of thousands, and there are other bracelets and necklaces—all treasures she could only dream of.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated slightly.
Shen Ruoxuan saw a small pop-up message in the top information bar of her phone.
Mo Ranliulian said, "I took a plane to Shanghai early this morning, and I've been talking to clients about cooperation ever since I got off the plane. I just got a break."
He's the master of his WeChat Moments!
Shen Ruoxuan returned the phone, saying, "Your friend sent you a message."
Su Jie took it and glanced at it, then pressed the voice button and said, "Sister Man, you need to take care of your health and don't work too hard."
Xu Qingman's voice was crisp and clear, "I'm going to eat right away, have you eaten yet?"
Su Jie: "I've already eaten. What are you planning to eat?"
Xu Qingman: "I still have to entertain clients. It's impolite to keep playing on my phone. Let's talk later tonight."
Along with it, a selfie of the woman was also sent.
Wearing a black suit, with her half-curled hair draped over her shoulders, she looked every bit the powerful businesswoman.
She must be very strict when she's working, right?
Thinking about the intertwined and conflicting qualities of a woman's "auntie" charm and her strong, independent nature, Su Jie felt his throat go dry.
That was his most primal desire!
After glancing at the photos a few more times, Su Jie put his phone in his pocket. "I still need to buy a camera to take pictures later."
Shen Ruoxuan followed behind, and after holding back for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you like her?"
"She's beautiful and has a great presence."
Su Jie didn't hide anything, "Of course I like it."
She tiptoed slightly and pouted, "Does she like you?"
"I confessed my feelings to her last night, but she rejected me."
Su Jie shook his head. "Then they became like siblings, bought me some clothes, and said they'd continue to help me make money!"
Shen Ruoxuan was somewhat surprised, "You confessed your feelings to her last night?"
Su Jie nodded. "I ate at Haidilao, and then I was ruthlessly rejected."
Shen Ruoxuan became even more curious, "Why?"
Su Jie said frankly, "She said she's older than me and she's afraid that I'll dump her when she gets old and that her girlfriends will laugh at her."
Shen Ruoxuan shared her opinion, "She doesn't look very old. Isn't it normal for older women to date younger men these days?"
"That's what I said too, but they absolutely refused to agree."
Su Jie nodded. "I said since she didn't agree, we shouldn't contact each other anymore, but she insisted on recognizing me as her younger brother."
Looking at the girl, he asked the question that had been bothering him: "You're a woman too, can you help me analyze what she means?"
Shen Ruoxuan thought for a moment, racking her brains to analyze, "She probably has feelings for you, but maybe she has some concerns?"
"That's what I think too."
Su Jie smiled and nodded, "I'll ask her next time."
Shen Ruoxuan blinked. "You're just going to ask directly?"
"Why not just ask?"
Su Jie frowned. "Do I also need to buy a bouquet of roses?"
Shen Ruoxuan didn't know how to describe it, but said, "Then keep up the good work!"
"What kind of oil should I add?"
Su Jie rolled his eyes. "She's clearly rejected me, and I'm a grown man. From now on, she's my good older sister!"
"Are you just going to give up like that?"
Shen Ruoxuan was a little confused by the man's abrupt train of thought. "What if he's testing you?"
"I'm not a simp, why would I need a test?"
Su Jie shook his head. "If you like me, then we'll talk; if you don't, then we won't. Don't give me any tests. I'm a slow starter."
"Just like you said, you only want to find a partner who owns a fully paid-off house within the Third Ring Road, and you won't consider anyone else."
A little blushing and embarrassed, Shen Ruoxuan gently licked her lips and asked the question that had been on her mind: "Have you ever been in a relationship before?"
"I've dated one."
Su Jie isn't afraid of people knowing about her past relationships. "We were together since high school, and we broke up completely the day before yesterday."
Knowing the man before her was no ordinary person, Shen Ruoxuan felt somewhat numb. "Why did you break up?"
"Our relationship started having problems when we were juniors in college."
Su Jie said, "Later, when I was a senior in college and did an internship, we didn't contact each other even once a month."
"When my grandmother passed away, she didn't go back, so I broke up with her right away."
Shen Ruoxuan guessed, "She probably already has someone else outside."
"It doesn't matter."
Su Jie shook his head nonchalantly, "She's from the same place as me. I'm going to teach her a lesson next time we meet."
Shen Ruoxuan was somewhat surprised. "You're going to deal with her?"
"This kind of woman just needs to be taught a lesson."
Su Jie was too lazy to explain, "You bitch!"
Shen Ruoxuan didn't know what to say, and after thinking for a while, she asked again, "You broke up the day before yesterday, and then confessed your feelings yesterday?"
Su Jie replied matter-of-factly, "I'm single, why can't I confess my feelings?"
After thinking about it carefully, Shen Ruoxuan realized that it made sense.
Why can't I pursue other girls if I'm single?
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate."
Su Jie carried his things forward, "With a clear conscience and unwavering resolve."
"Instead of worrying about these things, I'd rather play a few more games."
Looking at the man's dashing back, Shen Ruoxuan suddenly felt a sense of awe and superiority.
Seeing the woman standing still, Su Jie asked, "I need to go buy a camera, do you want to come?"
Shen Ruoxuan nodded and quickly followed, "I'll go take a look for you."
"I also want to buy my mom a pair of gold bracelets. Could you take a look for me later?"
Su Jie laughed and said, "I'll treat you to another big meal tonight!"
Shen Ruoxuan offered a small suggestion, "The lunch was a bit too rich, let's eat something lighter."
Su Jie had a question he couldn't figure out: "Is seafood considered light or oily?"
Shen Ruoxuan thought for a moment, "It should be light."
She loves seafood!
