Chapter 1841: High IQ

Since he had guessed that Zhao Ying might have sent this text message due to some special reasons, Yang Ming ought to cooperate with her. Therefore, Yang Ming didn’t ask further but responded directly:

“Sure! Dear, have you finished your class?”

Zhao Ying glanced at Yang Ming’s reply, and the corners of her mouth lifted to form a faint smile. It seemed that “There’s No True Love In This World” was not a fool. Under this condition, he didn’t question at all but directly agreed instead. Obviously, he had guessed that she was caught in an awkward situation.

“My boyfriend has responded to the text message. Do you want to check it out?” Zhao Ying asked Fan Jinzhe, who was looking forward with his eyes widened. She showed him the phone.

“En, let me see.” Fan Jinzhe nodded solemnly. The phone vibrated shortly, so it is not necessarily a reply to the QQ message. Perhaps it was just a text message.

Zhao Ying had become accustomed to Fan Jinzhe’s shamelessness, so she was too lazy to talk further. She thrusted her mobile phone in front of him, “See it yourself.”

Seeing that Zhao Ying had let him see it without any hesitation, Fan Jinzhe guessed that it was most probably a message from Zhao Ying’s so-called online boyfriend.

But even though he has really replied, the content is not known yet. Maybe he doesn’t have the time to go.

So Fan Jinzhe took Zhao Ying’s mobile phone impatiently and was dumbfounded at the first glance!

This online boyfriend agreed without a second thought. Apparently, the two of them have met in real life before, and they might even have met multiple times. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to agree without asking anything.

Also, judging from the way the other person calls Zhao Ying, he is obviously used to it. He even knew that Zhao Ying is attending a class now. This shows that they contact frequently and know what each other is doing.

Crap! No wonder Zhao Ying was mad when I said that online dating was unreliable when we exited the elevator. It turned out she was dating online herself!

Fan Jinzhe’s complexion turned pale. I did not expect that I would be unsuccessful after pursuing so hard for such a long time. And yet, a netizen got her first! Why does Zhao Ying like this kind of thing?

If I had known about this earlier, I would do everything possible to find out Zhao Ying’s QQ number, and communicate with her online. It now seems that Zhao Ying has established a romantic relationship with this online guy. It will be difficult for me to intervene now.

“Zhao Ying, since we are classmates, I would like to give you a piece of advice. Don’t be upset because the truth seldom sounds pleasant!” Fan Jinzhe suppressed his anger and pretended to say in a very kind manner, “Do you know that online dating is still unreliable?” You don’t know each other’s background. Do you know what he does for a living? What is his family like? Have you looked into it yourself? No, right?

“So I’m telling you that you have to be careful. There are many scammers now. Haven’t you watched that Brother Gang telling stories on TV? It’s all love scams. If he happens to deceive your money and your love, it will be too late for you to regret it!

“Moreover, you also knew that the net name of this person is There’s No True Love In This World. Obviously this person is a playboy who does not take love seriously. How can you still hang out with such a person?”

“Thank you for your reminder. But we have already met each other’s parents,” Zhao Ying said calmly.”You don’t need to worry about it. As for the net name, there are tons of strange names out there. Do you still believe this? If someone with the net name of Martian appears tomorrow, would you believe that he came from Mars?”

“Ah… this …” Fan Jinzhe was so stunned by Zhao Ying’s remark that he didn’t know what to say. He forced a smile and said, “I’m just being kind. I have no ulterior motive!”

“I know, so thank you,” Zhao Ying said with a nod.

Now that this matter had come to an end, it was inappropriate for Fan Jinzhe to turn his head around to talk to Zhao Ying anymore. Plus, there was no reason to do so. He could only turn his head back, feeling a little depressed. He thought that it must be because he was absent from school for a period of time which led to Zhao Ying looking for a male netizen. Otherwise, why hadn’t he heard of him before? Furthermore, when he pursued Zhao Ying before, she didn’t disclose that she had a boyfriend.

Based on Zhao Ying’s character, if she had a boyfriend at that time, she would definitely use this as a reason to reject him. Since Zhao Ying didn’t do so at that time, Fan Jinzhe believed that Zhao Ying had only gotten to know this boyfriend recently!

Thinking of this, Fan Jinzhe’s heart started to complain about Yang Ming again. If not for Yang Ming who fabricated the so-called vengeful spirit, would I stay at home for such a long time without daring to go out?

It is because I didn’t go out that Zhao Ying got to know other people! Fan Jinzhe felt that if he had been with Zhao Ying all the time, she definitely would not have had the opportunity to meet any netizens. Perhaps with his hard work and perseverance, he would have won her over already!

Yang Ming, I will never let you go. You wait and see. I will definitely ruin your reputation! Fan Jinzhe thought hatefully.

While Fan Jinzhe and Zhao Ying were talking, the pockmarked face girl Li Xiaomei sitting next to Fan Jinzhe was constantly observing his movements. After hearing what he said to Zhao Ying, Li Xiaomei also suddenly understood that Fan Jinzhe’s target was not her, but Zhao Ying behind her all along!

Anger surged through Li Xiaomei’s heart. If you didn’t like me, then why did you sit next to me? Are you fooling me? Why didn’t you sit behind me?

However, Li Xiaomei was not stupid either. It was easy to guess that Fan Jinzhe must have requested to sit with Zhao Ying behind, but Zhao Ying had refused. That was why he settled for the next best thing and sat next to Li Xiaomei.

When Li Xiaomei thought of it, her face became cold and she sneered at Fan Jinzhe, “Let it be. She already has a boyfriend, so don’t bother to think about it. It’s not good to be a third wheeler.”

Hearing Li Xiaomei’s words, Fan Jinzhe pulled a long face. I wonder how I have offended this deskmate. Didn’t we chat happily not long ago? Although I was impatient with her questions, I didn’t neglect her. Why is she mocking me suddenly?

“Did I offend you? What do you mean by this, classmate Li Xiaomei?” Fan Jinzhe followed the principle that a good man does not fight with a woman. He was unwilling to argue with Li Xiaomei, especially in front of Zhao Ying. Therefore, although he was furious, he still held back and asked calmly.

“Nothing. I’m just telling you not to ruin others’ happiness. She already has a boyfriend, so why are you still so persistent? Are you going to die without this person?” Li Xiaomei said faintly.

Fan Jinzhe was not dumb too. At this moment, he thought of Li Xiaomei’s attitude towards him before and after the incident as well as these scornful words. He realized that Li Xiaomei actually liked him. She thought that he liked her too since he sat next to her…

Fan Jinzhe was quite speechless when he understood this. He thought, Why don’t you look at yourself? Pockmarks with a rough and big face. The mistress that I used to fund is a few times better than you. Plus, there is a world of difference between you and Zhao Ying. Why would I be attracted to you?

However, after knowing Li Xiaomei’s thoughts, it was inappropriate for Fan Jinzhe to say anything, lest this woman says something even more unpleasant due to jealousy. He said reluctantly, “I got it. Now I have finished my class and want to leave. Will you excuse me?”

Leave? Just leave then. What is the big deal? You are not attracted to me, and I’m not attracted to you either! You just have a pretty face. What’s so great about it! Li Xiaomei sneered, stood up, and made space for Fan Jinzhe to let him out.

Fan Jinzhe was not waiting for Zhao Ying anymore. He knew that it would be pointless for him to do anything now. He only had a chance if Zhao Ying gave up completely on that online guy!

How can I let Zhao Ying be disheartened by that “There’s No True Love In This World”? Fan Jinzhe couldn’t think of any good method at this moment. But now that he knew that “There’s No True Love In This World” would go to the spring outing next weekend, he could take action if an opportunity arose. The best thing was to make him do something that would offend Zhao Ying so that his reputation would be ruined. Consequently, Zhao Ying would no longer be with him.

Hmph, based on my high IQ, how easy it is to deal with an online guy? Fan Jinzhe thought arrogantly. He had developed his initially small-sized company to a large-scale one. He had managed the company well to let it prosper.

Fan Jinzhe had forgotten the pain after the wound healed. He didn’t recall who was the one that was deceived to the point of not daring to step out of the house and being swindled of a large amount of money by two masters.

Chapter 1842: Yang Ming’s Comfort

Zhao Ying returned to the house that Yang Ming bought for her and looked at it. She sighed slightly. Fan Jinzhe had forced her to make a decision today, which also meant that her relationship with Yang Ming had concluded and came to an end.

There is no reason for me to stay in this house. The house which I used to live in with Wang Xiaoyan has been returned. Where can I stay now?

Zhao Ying could stay at Wang Xiaoyan’s place as Wang Xiaoyan often invited her to stay together. But now that she knew the relationship between Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming, she couldn’t stay there again.

If she still maintained her current relationship with Yang Ming, there was no problem. The problem was it was not nice to tell Wang Xiaoyan that she had another boyfriend. When Yang Ming visited Wang Xiaoyan, it would also be very awkward.

So Zhao Ying wanted to find a house to live by herself. This neighborhood is relatively close to the university. If I ask around, there should be a place available for rent, right?

However, the first thing Zhao Ying’s had to do now was to explain to “There’s No True Love In This World” about what had happened just now.

After logging into QQ on the computer, Zhao Ying sent a message to “There’s No True Love In This World”: “Are you there?”

“Yes.” Yang Ming knew that there must be something that made Zhao Ying ask the previous question, so he kept waiting by the computer for Zhao Ying’s explanation. Meanwhile, he checked the Douglas Vast Hotel’s address in Las Vegas.

“Did I frighten you just now?” Zhao Ying hesitated and asked. She was not very good at explaining and she didn’t know where to start.

“No. You must have encountered something that triggered you to say so, right?” Yang Ming replied.

“Yeah… One of my classmates is very annoying. He even wanted to accompany me during the spring outing. I had no other way but to tell him that I have a boyfriend.”

“But he didn’t believe me, so I sent you a message. Unexpectedly, your reply was timely, and he finally believed it.”

Zhao Ying sent two messages at once. As Yang Ming speculated, Zhao Ying would always split a sentence into several sentences. This was also the modern generation’s chat habit. They send one sentence after another instead of sending everything in one message.

“I see. I thought you really invited me to go to the spring outing with you. It made me overjoyed just now.” Yang Ming teased her deliberately. In fact, Yang Ming was very clear that Zhao Ying would not have such a drastic change in attitude towards him in such a short time.

“Of course I am really inviting you to go…” Zhao Ying continued, “At that time, that classmate of mine will definitely follow me. If you don’t go, he will certainly not believe it.”

Yang Ming had guessed who the said person was from Zhao Ying’s words. One of Zhao Ying’s suitors in the university who was extremely persistent was none other than Fan Jinzhe.

This fellow was fooled by me last time, and he’s back to normal so soon? I thought he would hide at home for at least a year before getting out.

However, Zhao Ying had indeed requested Yang Ming to go on a spring outing with her. This surprised Yang Ming! He always felt that his progress with Zhao Ying was not obvious. Now suddenly, Zhao Ying had actually invited him to go to the spring outing with her as she was coincidentally forced by Fan Jinzhe. Isn’t this a blessing in disguise? Should I thank Fan Jinzhe?

Yang Ming didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, but he was glad that he and Zhao Ying had made progress.

“Okay, since you have invited me, how can I not go?” Yang Ming replied quickly. It would just take three to five days for him to handle Zhang Bing’s affairs. It wouldn’t take long, so he would be able to return by next weekend.

“En, then… Do we need to meet first? We don’t know each other yet …” Zhao Ying hesitated. After all, this was the first time she would meet a netizen in reality. Although the two have known each other for a long time and their relationship was also very reliable, Zhao Ying still felt that it was a little abrupt for the two of them to go directly to the spring outing. It was best for them to meet and communicate first, and then talk about the future.

What if both of them could only chat on the Internet, but were incompatible in real life? What if she realized that she didn’t like him, but liked Yang Ming instead?

So Zhao Ying was a little worried.

“There is no need, right? Why make it so serious? It’s just a spring outing. You don’t have to carry any psychological burden as I won’t ask anything from you immediately. Although I call you my wife on the Internet, we are still friends in reality. I’m clear about this,” Yang Ming comforted Zhao Ying as he had guessed her thoughts.

“Also, I understand what you mean. Don’t I just need to impersonate your boyfriend and make your suitor back off? Don’t worry, I’m good at this. I’m a professional boyfriend impersonator. My job is to pretend to be someone else’s boyfriend,” Yang Ming continued.

Yang Ming’s words were not just randomly said. It was truly reality. Take for example Zhao Ying. He had faked it once for her.

Zhao Ying did not expect that “There’s No True Love In This World” had guessed her thoughts so quickly. Although she was embarrassed, she also felt happy that “There’s No True Love In This World” was being so understanding.

Since he had said so, she would not be pretentious. Anyway, they would start as ordinary friends first after meeting. Then, they could consider whether to continue dating.

“Well… okay then. Let’s contact each other again when the time comes.” Zhao Ying was in an emotional turmoil and didn’t want to say too much now, so she hurriedly ended the conversation.

“En. Let’s get into contact again at that time.” Yang Ming didn’t say too much as well. Everything would be put on hold until they meet. They would be able to communicate naturally by then.

Yang Ming had asked Bao Sanli to book the earliest flight ticket, and the result came very quickly. The flight was past twelve o’clock tonight, flying from Donghai International Airport to Capital International Airport, and then flying directly to Las Vegas.

“Brother Yang, the time and flight number of the e-ticket have been sent to your mobile phone. Shall I send you off at night?” Bao Sanli called right after he received the short message of the ticket information.

“Let Wang Lin send me at night. You don’t have to go. He can manage such a trivial matter.” Yang Ming laughed and said, “It can now be said that your career as my driver has ended.”

“Ha, don’t say that. I envy Little Wang too. How I wish to continue driving for Brother Yang!” Bao Sanli also laughed. “Brother Yang, is everything alright for this trip? Do you need our help? ”

“It’s nothing, Zhang Bing just lost a lot of money gambling. I’ll deal with it,” Yang Ming said briefly. “It’s not a big deal.”

“Well, alright then. Shall I inform Little Wang to pick you up later?” asked Bao Sanli.

“Okay, you tell him then,” Yang Ming answered.

Little Wang arrived at the door of Yang Ming’s villa at four o’clock sharp in the evening. Originally, Yang Ming planned to depart at six o’clock. It would take him two hours to reach Donghai and one hour to the airport. He would linger for a while till eleven o’clock before going for security check and boarding.

However, Little Wang was afraid that there would be a traffic jam on the expressway, so he came two hours in advance. Yang Ming thought it was possible too. It was better to be earlier than later when it came to flights. Therefore, he packed his luggage and got in the car.

Chen Mengyan and the others had not finished school at this time, so Yang Ming didn’t wait for them. He just sent them a text message informing them that he was leaving, and then asked Little Wang to rush to Donghai Airport.

Yang Ming had never looked for Little Wang ever since they had returned from the Immortal Resort. He was very free every day and kept thinking about why Yang Ming didn’t look for him. Most people knew that Yang Ming would not swap Little Wang easily since Yang Ming had designated him as his driver. They wouldn’t feel that he was being neglected when he was idle every day. On the contrary, everyone understood that Yang Ming was very leisurely now as he had given the chairman position to Jing Xiaolu, so naturally there would not be too many things to do.

But even so, these people would not undermine Little Wang. Although Yang Ming was not the chairman, he was no different from the chairman. Jing Xiaolu still had to obey Yang Ming, right?

When Bao Sanli called today to tell Little Wang to send Yang Ming to the airport at night, Little Wang quickly polished his car excitedly before rushing to Yang Ming’s villa. He even canceled the dinner he was meant to have with Little Ran’s family.
