Chen Wei stared at her in disbelief. "Didn't you say she was the one pursuing you?"
"Exactly. She still owes me 232.5 yuan, and I've been chasing her for the money every day."

Chen Wei's whole body trembled. He had thought Xu Ying was pure and innocent, as pristine as ice and snow.
He never expected her to be the kind of woman who threw herself at men, only to be rejected.
So all the effort I put into pursuing her was just a joke!
"Darling, don't be angry. I was just blinded by beauty back then."
"Since you were that proactive, why did you resist every time I tried to hold your hand?"
Xu Yi couldn't hold back his laughter. "Maybe the way you looked was just too invigorating for her."

"You're saying I'm ugly?" Chen Wei's defenses shattered. They really shattered.
The title of Clown Goblin landed on his head once again.
"Darling, I don't wear glasses, and I think you're quite easy on the eyes." Xu Ying tried to comfort him.
"Get lost!"
Xu Yi: There's an expert here?
Chen Wei completely rejected Xu Ying.
Lies didn't hurt people. The truth was the sharpest blade.
Xu Ying finally broke down and shouted, "Xu Yi, are you trying to ruin me? This is my only chance to pass the civil service exam and get a government job. Are you going to sabotage it too?
"Are you incapable of seeing anyone else do well? I must have been blind."
What a punch! You were the one who dumped him and then came back looking for attention.
Girl, you know... I rarely take the man's side.
Brothers, Xu Ying is your wife.
Your wife.
Your wife.
All the leaders present could no longer listen, especially the principal and the bureau chief. They felt utterly humiliated.
The bureau chief's tone was calm, but his gaze was somber. "Young man, you're mistaken. Passing the civil service exam depends on your own abilities, doesn't it? Why blame Xu Yi?"
"Where did this old geezer come from?"
"..."
"I'm Xu Yi's uncle."
"Fine, then hurry up and make Xu Yi apologize to me."
Uncle Yu was rendered speechless once again.
Xu Ying continued her barrage regardless. "Old geezer, have you lived all these years for nothing? If I had connections to help me get a government job, why would I need to take the exam?
"Chen Wei has connections and a background. He can easily help me get in. Can Xu Yi do that?
"When we first entered university, I did sincerely date him because he was handsome.
"But now that we're about to graduate, it would be too naive to keep talking about love! Dating a guy like Xu Yi is fine, but marriage is out of the question. After marriage, life would be nothing but a mess."
Uncle Yu was utterly stunned. "Are people these realistic nowadays?"
"It's not that I'm materialistic... If Xu Yi had connections and a background, I definitely wouldn't have abandoned him."
"Forget it, Uncle Yu. There's nothing more to say to her. Let's go," Xu Yi said.
The group of leaders glanced at Xu Yi meaningfully before preparing to leave together.
But Xu Ying called out to them.
"Why are you leaving? You haven't apologized yet!"
This woman is invincible. She's still courting death at this point.
If you ask me, she's brainless too. So many school leaders are surrounding one person, and she still can't tell he's important?
She threw away the watermelon for sesame seeds. What an idiot.
I'm 160 centimeters tall and weigh 160 pounds. Everyone says I'm kind of pretty. Do you think I'm good enough for Xu Yi?
I think you'd be better suited for breeding.
Is this the Square Warrior? Heh. Things are getting interesting.
Just then, another figure ran over from outside the cafeteria. Xu Yi took a closer look and saw that it was Yang De.
Yang De wore an ingratiating smile. "Good bro, I heard the supermarket owner was going to give you trouble, so I came to help."
Xu Ying froze for a moment. She remembered Yang De.
Both his parents worked at the Education Bureau, and she had once planned to seduce him.
But she hadn't expected him to be a complete incel, doing nothing but launching games every day and acting bizarre as hell.
Wasn't he extremely snobbish? He had looked down on Xu Yi the most. How had he suddenly become such a bootlicker?
Unexpectedly, his next sentence left her rooted to the spot.
"Bureau chief, you're here too?"
He then took out two bottles of green tea. "About my parents..."
Uncle Yu: My fists are hardening!
I'm livestreaming here, and you pull this?
Are you trying to get yourself a purple egg?
"Bureau chief?!"
Xu Ying's mind went blank. "Yang De, what did you just call him?"
"The bureau chief."
"Which bureau chief?"
"Obviously the Education Bureau chief. Don't tell me you still haven't recognized him?"
"How would I recognize him?" Xu Ying said, bewildered.
"So many school leaders are accompanying him. Couldn't you use your brain and think about it?"
"I don't know any of the school leaders either."
Xu Ying suddenly felt utterly miserable. Had she just called the bureau chief an old geezer?
Had she just launched a face-to-face attack at the leader of the government department where she dreamed of working?!
But that wasn't the main point. The main point was... he was Xu Yi's uncle?!
As she thought about it, Xu Ying looked at Xu Yi again. "Xu Yi, he's your uncle? Why didn't you tell me your uncle was the bureau chief?"
Xu Yi frowned. "Why should I tell you?"
"If you had told me, we wouldn't have broken up. We could have stayed together forever."
With that, she enthusiastically wrapped her arm around Xu Yi's.
But the moment she touched him, Xu Yi shook her off with a look of disgust.

Xu Ying blinked in confusion. "Xu Yi? I know you still love me. I'm willing to get back together with you now, so don't avoid me."
Chen Wei felt as if the world had collapsed. "Xu Ying, what about me? I was just about ready to stop despising you."
Xu Yi rolled his eyes at him. "Her uncle is the bureau chief. What do you have to compare with that?"
"I..."
"Then what were all those happy times we shared before?"
Xu Yi: "They count as proof that you have a good memory."

Seeing Xu Yi defending her, Xu Ying's face lit up with joy, and she quickly chimed in. "That's right, that's right. They count as proof that you have a good memory."
Unexpectedly, Xu Yi rolled his eyes at her. "I was talking to him. Why are you butting in?"

"Brother Xu Yi, don't you like me anymore?"
"Are you worthy? Prototype Goblin."
Ding ding ding~
Xu Ying's face turned pale, and she weakly staggered back two steps.
"I don't believe it! Then what do all those beautiful memories we shared mean?"
"They mean you have a good memory."

"What's wrong with wanting to pass the civil service exam and get a government job?" Xu Ying said agitatedly.
What a punch. She was so outrageously wrong, yet still thought she wasn't wrong.
If she really passes the civil service exam, we'll all share some responsibility.
Here's my advice to everyone: love someone sincerely, without regard for fame or fortune. That's all I'll say. My girlfriend's sixtieth birthday celebration is starting.
Xu Yi gazed deeply at her. "I'll give you one final piece of advice: be less calculating when you're in a relationship. Everything should depend on yourself."
(Except me.) Xu Yi silently added in his heart.

"Huh? Xu Ying, you're here too?" Suddenly, a jarringly delighted voice rang out.
Qian Sheng gazed at Xu Ying with intense love. It was practically dripping from his eyes.
Xu Yi rolled his eyes. Another sucker willing to take over?
"Why are you here?" Xu Ying asked, somewhat surprised.
She remembered Qian Sheng very well. He was the number-one bootlicker.
Whenever she ran out of money, he would subsidize her.
He did have a strange little hobby, though. He had once stolen her socks.
She had heard that he soaked them in water and drank it for several days.
He was truly the king of bootlickers.
"It's getting late. Hurry up and go eat," Xu Ying said, wanting to dismiss him as quickly as possible.
"Have you eaten yet? Should I buy you a steamed bun?"
"No."
"What about tofu pudding? Sweet or salty?"
Xu Yi: "Could you buy me a chocolate-flavored one?"
Everyone: "???"

Xu Yi looked at everyone with a strange expression. Wait, this can earn Emotion Points too?
Suddenly, Xu Yi felt as though he had found the key to opening the door to a whole new world.
Qian Sheng: "Who are you, bro? I only accept sweet tofu pudding, salty tofu pudding, and spicy tofu pudding. Chocolate-flavored... get out of Great Xia."
"I'm her ex-boyfriend."
"So what if you're her ex-boyfriend? Is that supposed to be impressive?"
"I can give you a guide to her."
"Father!"
"Forget chocolate flavor. I can even get you dark plum sauce flavor."
Everyone: "..."
Xu Ying watched the two of them chatting enthusiastically while completely ignoring her, the main character.
She immediately grew furious. "Qian Sheng, what exactly are you trying to do? Hurry up and leave after you're done eating!"
"Goddess, don't be impatient. I'm waiting for my uncle..."
"Does your uncle work in the cafeteria?"
"No, he's a manager at the Furun Group. He told me today that he was coming to school to deal with some student who didn't know his place. I wonder how it went."
"What?"
It was Xu Ying's turn to be shocked. "Your uncle is a manager at the Furun Group?"
"Yeah."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You never asked."
"If you had told me earlier, wouldn't we have gotten together sooner?"
Qian Sheng: "???"
"Wait, I'm a little confused. What does my uncle have to do with whether you and I can get together?"
Xu Ying rolled her eyes. "Don't be naive. When people date nowadays, background is obviously the first consideration.
"You really think you can win a girl over just by spending a little money and bootlicking her?"
Xu Ying grabbed Qian Sheng's arm. "Don't you like me? I'm giving you a chance now. Confess to me."
Qian Sheng still hadn't recovered from his bewilderment. His hands trembled nonstop.
So... because of my uncle, the goddess is going to accept me?
I won't have to drink sock milk tea anymore?
Before Qian Sheng could say anything, Xu Ying eagerly began to flaunt herself. "Xu Yi, so what if you have a bureau chief for an uncle? At worst, I just won't take the civil service exam.
"Once I join the Furun Group, I'll still be one of the superior people!"
