Jinli had absolutely no idea how sadistic and warped this unimportant and negligible man had become. Well, even if she knew, she would probably be indifferent, saying things like:

What has that got to do with me?

You can’t fault me for being too attractive!

This time, as she moved from the hotel to her newly purchased home, she met Bai Yan again.

Jinli’s new house was an exquisitely designed villa. While it was small, it came with a cute and well maintained garden. The previous owner was also a young lady. She had sold her beautiful villa to Jinli due to her plans to emigrate after her marriage.

Bai Jinli’s fortune stashed away was sizeable, yet it was still insufficient to purchase the villa. This was especially so as the owner requested that everything be paid in full up-front.

She was definitely not able to pay everything up-front. Yet, how could the pampered, high-status, luxurious little goddess give up so easily? She had finally found a property that fitted her demands. There was no way she was going to give up. Alas, what could she do? She had no money to pay for it.

Helplessness poured through her veins at that thought. With no one to turn to, she turned to the almighty Baidu for help.

How to get rich quickly?

Thoughtful netizens swarmed in with ingenious ideas and plans for her. Looking at it all, she came up with a simple solution for herself. She just had to strike a windfall. Happily, she bought several lottery tickets without much thought.

Unbelievably, she struck a pot of gold. 20 million dollars. Coupled with Bai Jinli’s lifetime of savings, it was more than sufficient to make her purchase.

What a perfect plan.

From the corner, a cold pair of eyes were glued on Jinli, having observed her every thought and action from the start. Those eyes belonged to a man that was prepared to dish out a financial saving grace, his Black Credit Card, for his woman.

Poof! All hopes of him playing a hero were gone.

His eyes widened, and veins popped in his heck. Lu Zhengya glared daggers at Bai Yan, “I said to pamper her and buy that villa for her. You said that ladies loved a man who blessed them with unlimited spending card.”

Looking at the situation, Bai Yan lost all his words.

He felt so confused and wronged.

I swear she had no money for this. I investigated this. Who could have known that she would crazily bomb her fortune on lottery tickets? Who could tell that she would be this lucky? More than that, what person of sound mind would plan like this?

However wronged he felt, Bai Yan could only resign himself to his fate. Bracing himself, he compliantly lowered his head and accepted the lecture.

Glaring at the downtrodden man, Lu Zhengya felt all his trust for this subordinate vanish. Never again would he trust Bai Yan’s words.

His stared at Bai Yan with a gaze that could almost freeze him, and laughed scornfully, “Why am I so naive? Why would I ever believe that a man like you, forever alone since birth, would know how to win a woman’s heart?”

Like a knife. Despite his displeasure, Bai Yan could only endure it silently.

That’s too harsh. Just because you are my boss, doesn’t mean that you get to insult me personally. Whatever! Whether or not you believed me….

His head whipped up furiously, and he met Lu Zhengya’s gaze. In that moment, his anger retreated, like a quail meeting an eagle.

Fine! I don’t dare to do anything!

Sir may be awkward and difficult with situations concerning Miss Jinli, but it was understandable. However, it would be wise for all other people to avoid rubbing him the wrong away.

Take, for example, Sir’s two elder brothers. They had just returned from South Africa.

While Bai Yan fought with his inner demons, Lu Zhengya decided to face his troubles head-on, going with his initial plan.

That was how the had story advanced until this point, in front of Jinli’s villa.

At her new accommodation’s entrance, a familiar Bentley and a familiar Bai Yan caught Jinli’s attention.

She could still remember this bespectacled man. Politely nodding, she spoke her greetings, “Mr Bai.”

Bai Yan returned the greeting and offered his invitation like a gentleman, the same as before. “Miss Jinli, my master would like to invite you to a meeting.”

Jinli’s brows frowned.

Huh? What’s wrong with his head?

“Apologies. As I mentioned before, I don’t know him, so thanks, but no thanks.”

Gesturing towards the car, Bai Yan coaxed, “He is already in the car right behind us. Please meet him, even if it’s just for a short while.”

Jinli was perplexed. “Very obviously, he wants to meet me. Let him come to me instead.”
