Chen Wei stared at her in disbelief, "Didn't you say she was the one chasing you?"

"That's true, and she still owes me 232.5 yuan. I chase her every day to get my money back."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Chen Wei's body trembled. He had thought Xu Ying was pure and innocent, as pure as ice.

He hadn't expected her to be so desperate that she'd throw herself at someone, only to be rejected.

So all his efforts in pursuing her for so long were just a joke!

"Honey, don't be angry. I was simply blinded by her beauty at the time."

"Since you're so eager, why did you resist when I tried to hold your hand?"

Xu Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Maybe she found the way you looked too stimulating."

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

"You're saying I'm ugly?" Chen Wei's composure finally broke. He was truly broken.

The title of Clown Goblin landed on him once again.

"Honey, even without my glasses, you're quite pleasant to look at," Xu Ying tried to comfort him.

"Get lost!"

Xu Yi thought, Is there another master?

Chen Wei was now completely repulsed by Xu Ying.

Lies don't hurt; the truth is the sharpest knife.

Xu Ying could no longer maintain her composure and cried out, "Xu Yi, are you trying to ruin me? This is my only chance to pass the civil service exam. Are you going to sabotage that too?

Don't you just hate seeing others do well! I was truly blind."

[Good punch! She's the one who dumped him and is now seeking attention.]

[Sister, you know... I rarely side with the guy.]

[Brothers, Xu Ying is your wife.]

[Your wife.]

[Your wife]

The leaders present couldn't stand listening any longer. The principal and the director, in particular, felt utterly disgraced.

The director spoke in a calm tone, but his gaze was heavy, "Young student, you've said that all wrong. Don't civil service exams depend on one's own abilities? Why are you blaming Xu Yi?"

"Who is this old fossil?"

"..."

"I am Xu Yi's uncle."

"Alright, then quickly make Xu Yi apologize to me."

Yu Shu was once again rendered speechless.

Xu Ying, however, continued her barrage, "Old man, have you lived all these years in vain? If I have a chance to pass the civil service exam, why would I bother with it?

Chen Wei has connections and a background. He can easily help me get in. Can Xu Yi?

When I first started university, I was devoted to him because he was handsome.

But now that we're about to graduate, it's too naive to still be talking about love! Dating someone like Xu Yi is fine, but marriage? No way. Married life would be a mess."

Yu Shu was stunned, "Are people this pragmatic now?"

"It's not that I'm pragmatic... If Xu Yi also had a background and connections, I definitely wouldn't abandon him."

"Forget it, Uncle Yu, there's nothing more to say to him. Let's go," Xu Yi said.

The leaders cast a meaningful glance at Xu Yi and prepared to leave together.

But Xu Ying called out to them.

"Why are you leaving? He hasn't apologized yet!"

[This woman is unbelievable, still digging her own grave.]

[Honestly, she's brainless. So many school leaders are fawning over him. Can't she see he's someone important?]

[Picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, truly foolish.]

[I'm 160cm tall and weigh 160 jin. Everyone says I'm a bit pretty. Do you think I'm a good match for Xu Yi?]

[I think you're suitable for breeding.]

[A square warrior? Heh~ Things are starting to get interesting.]

Just then, another figure ran over from outside the cafeteria. Xu Yi focused his gaze and saw it was Yang De.

Yang De had a fawning expression, "Good brother, I heard the supermarket boss was going to cause trouble for you, so I came to help."

Xu Ying was taken aback. She did remember Yang De.

Her parents both worked at the Education Bureau, and she had even planned to seduce him back then.

But she never expected the guy to be such a normie, always "activating" and being so cringe.

Didn't he used to be so snobbish? He looked down on Xu Yi the most, so why is he acting so subservient now?

Unexpectedly, his next sentence made her freeze in place.

"Director, you're here too?"

Then he took out two bottles of green tea, "About my parents' situation..."

Yu Shu: My fists are clenched!

I'm live-streaming here, and you're pulling this stunt?

Do you want to eat purple eggs?

"Director?!"

Xu Ying's head felt a bit fuzzy, "Yang De, what did you just call him?"

"Director."

"Which Director?"

"The Director of the Education Bureau, of course. You haven't recognized him yet, have you?"

"How could I possibly recognize him?" Xu Ying was bewildered.

"With so many school leaders here accompanying him, don't you think about it?"

"I don't recognize the school leaders either."

At this point, Xu Ying felt terrible. Had she just called the Director "Old Deng"?

She had directly attacked the leader of her dream government job unit?!

That wasn't the point, the point was... he was Uncle Xu Yi?!

While thinking, Xu Ying looked at Xu Yi again, "Xu Yi, he's your uncle? Why didn't you tell me your uncle was the Director?"

Xu Yi frowned, "Why should I tell you?"

"If you had told me, we wouldn't have broken up. We could have been together forever."

With that, she enthusiastically hugged Xu Yi's arm.

But as soon as she touched him, Xu Yi pulled away in disgust.

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Xu Ying blinked in confusion, "Xu Yi? I know you still like me. I'm willing to be with you again now, don't push me away."

Chen Wei felt like his world had collapsed, "Xu Ying, what about me? I was just about to overlook your flaws."

Xu Yi shot him a look, "His uncle is the Director, can you compare to that?"

"I..."

"Then what about all the happy times we had together before?"

Xu Yi: "Consider it your good memory."

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Seeing Xu Yi speaking up for her, Xu Ying's face lit up, and she quickly chimed in, "Right, right, consider it your good memory."

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi gave her a look, "I was talking to him, why are you interrupting?"

[Negative Emotion Points +20]

"Brother Xu Yi, don't you like me anymore?"

"Are you worthy? Motherboard Goblin."

Thump thump thump

Xu Ying's face turned pale, and she weakly took two steps back.

"I don't believe it! Then what about all our beautiful memories together?"

"Consider it your good memory."

[Emotion Points +100]

"What's wrong with me just wanting to pass the civil service exam?" Xu Ying said excitedly.

[What a punch, it's so wrong, it's not even wrong yet.]

[If she actually passes the exam, we'll all be responsible.]

[I'll advise everyone here, loving someone should be pure, without regard for fame or fortune. I won't say more, my girlfriend's 60th birthday party has started.]

Xu Yi gave her a deep look, "I'll give you one last piece of advice, have less ulterior motives in relationships. Rely on yourself for everything."

(Except me.) Xu Yi added silently in his heart.

[Negative Emotion Points +30]

"Huh? Xu Ying, you're here too?" A sudden surprised voice called out.

Qian Sheng looked at Xu Ying with eyes full of deep affection. It was practically dripping.

Xu Yi rolled his eyes. Another guy willing to pick up the pieces?

"Why is it you?" Xu Ying asked, a little surprised.

She had a deep impression of Qian Sheng; he was her number one sycophant.

He'd always funded her when she was short on cash.

However, he had a strange little habit – he'd stolen her socks before.

She heard he'd drunk the water the socks had been soaking in for several days.

Truly the king of simps.

"It's getting late, you should go eat," Xu Ying wanted to get rid of him quickly.

"Have you eaten yet? Should I buy you a baozi?"

"No."

"How about douhua? Sweet or savory?"

Xu Yi chimed in, "Could you get me a chocolate-flavored one, please?"

Everyone: "???"

[Negative Emotion Points +5]

[Negative Emotion Points +5]

[Negative Emotion Points +5]

[... ]

Xu Yi looked at everyone with a strange expression. Wait, you can gain emotion points from this?

Suddenly, Xu Yi felt like he'd found a way to open a new world.

Qian Sheng: "Hey man, who are you? I only accept sweet, savory, or spicy douhua. Chocolate-flavored... get out of Great Xia."

"I'm her ex-boyfriend."

"So what if you're her ex-boyfriend? Is that so impressive?"

"I can give you a guide on how to get her."

"Adopt me, Daddy!"

"Forget chocolate-flavored, I can get you plum sauce-flavored too."

Everyone: "..."

Seeing the two of them chatting so enthusiastically, completely ignoring her, the main character, Xu Ying felt a surge of anger. "Qian Sheng, what do you want? Just leave after you've eaten!"

"Goddess, don't rush. I'm waiting for my uncle..."

"Your uncle works in the cafeteria?"

"No, he's a manager at Furun Group. He told me today he was coming to school to deal with some student who'd offended him. I don't know how that went."

"What?"

Now it was Xu Ying's turn to be surprised. "Your uncle is a manager at Furun Group?"

"Yeah."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"You didn't ask."

"If you'd said so earlier, wouldn't we have gotten together sooner?"

Qian Sheng: "???"

"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused. What does my uncle have to do with whether we can get together?"

Xu Ying rolled her eyes. "Don't be naive. When dating now, background is the top priority.

Do you really think you can win a girl over by just spending a little money and simping?"

Xu Ying grabbed Qian Sheng's arm. "Don't you like me? Now's your chance, confess to me."

Qian Sheng was still reeling from the shock, his hands trembling uncontrollably. So... because of my uncle, the goddess is going to agree to be with me? I won't have to drink sock milk tea anymore?

Before Qian Sheng could speak, Xu Ying eagerly boasted, "Xu Yi, so what if you have a Director uncle? At worst, I won't take the civil service exam. Once I get into Furun Group, I'll still be a somebody!"
