Chapter 211: Chapter 162: Lu Fan: Silu, Do You Have Any Wishes? Dad Will Fulfill Them for You
"Think about it. You work an honest job, staying up late every night giving foot massages, and you make what, seven or eight thousand a month? Meanwhile, some of the other girls go out for two or three nights and pocket four or five thousand in one go."
"At first, you might resist the temptation. But when you see the other girls buying the latest iPhone and designer bags, aren’t you tempted? Of course you are. So, you have no choice but to lower your moral standards, again and again."
After hearing what Chen He said, Jiang Ming squatted on the ground in agony and began to wail.
Chen He led Jiang Ming to an open area on the ground floor, letting him vent his emotions.
Before long, Lu Fan came downstairs.
Seeing Jiang Ming looking like his world had ended, he sighed, shook his head, and said, "Now you see why your sister worries about you so much, don’t you? You have so little relationship experience that you’re easily fooled. You’d be treated like a simp and a backup option in a heartbeat."
Jiang Ming cried and yelled, "Stop talking! Stop calling me a simp!"
He looked at Lu Fan and asked, "Why are you down here so early?"
"I was just helping you test whether Ma Xiaofei has any self-respect. I wasn’t actually there for a foot massage," Lu Fan said calmly. "I’m not so desperate that I’d book her for the rest of the night after just a few words. She’s not worthy of that."
Hearing this made Jiang Ming feel even worse.
’From their first date to making things official, all he had ever done was hold her hand.’
’He hadn’t even touched her chest.’
’Let alone had a round of vigorous "exercise."’
’The woman he had treated with such care, not daring to make a move on, turned out to be so cheap in front of Lu Fan.’
’So what if you’re rich?!’ Jiang Ming suddenly thought. ’Who does he think he is?!’
But then he thought, ’Damn it, being rich really *is* a big deal!’
’At least Lu Fan was rich enough to have already been with women far more beautiful than Ma Xiaofei.’
’He knew what kind of woman he really wanted.’
The more Jiang Ming thought about it, the more furious he became. ’Why does a guy like that get to be rich?!’
’And why am I just some ordinary guy?’
Seeing his state, Lu Fan patted his shoulder and said, "I know what you’re thinking right now, but don’t doubt your own appeal. If you want to date someone, I can introduce you to a girl. I guarantee she’ll have a completely clean slate. After all, blank slates should be with blank slates, and newspapers with newspapers."
But Jiang Ming shook his head. "No, thanks. I don’t want to date or go on blind dates right now."
When Lu Fan heard this, the words sounded oddly familiar. He didn’t try to persuade him, though. He figured that, in the end, all men eat their words.
He glanced at Chen He and said, "Help him into the car. Let’s go back."
"Okay." Just as Chen He was about to help Jiang Ming into the car, Jiang Ming refused. "It’s fine. I’ll go back by myself."
Lu Fan was about to say something.
But Jiang Ming insisted, "Don’t worry, I won’t do anything stupid. I know my sister cares a lot about me, and you only care about me because of her. I won’t let her down. And... I appreciate your help, too. Thank you!"
With that, he left.
Chen He started to go after him, but Lu Fan stopped him.
Lu Fan explained, "The girlfriend he just met was willing to sell her body to another guy for money. Anyone would be devastated. Let him cool off on his own. Anyway, our mission is complete. We can report back now."
He then sent a message to Jiang Yixia: [Keep a close eye on your brother. I just helped him test out his girlfriend.]
Jiang Yixia was shocked when she saw it: [How did you test her? Did you go directly to his girlfriend?]
Lu Fan: [Yes.]
Jiang Yixia assumed he had gotten some kind of "service," whether partial or full, and became angry: [How could you do that?! She’s Jiang Ming’s girlfriend, after all! How could you make her do... those things for you?!]
Lu Fan: [Relax, nothing happened. It was just a verbal test, and now your brother knows everything.]
Jiang Yixia: [Oh.]
Lu Fan: [Were you jealous just now?]
Jiang Yixia: [No.]
Lu Fan: [You were totally jealous. This is how you always act when you’re jealous.]
Jiang Yixia: [I was not. I said I wasn’t, and I mean it. If you say it again, I’m unfriending you.]
Lu Fan: [Haha, alright, you weren’t jealous.]
Jiang Yixia: [Hmph!]
Lu Fan looked at her message, amused by how she was stubbornly refusing to admit it. ’She’s pretty cute like this,’ he thought.
’She was clearly worried I’d go out fooling around again.’
’But she wouldn’t admit it.’
Since it was getting late, Lu Fan decided not to head back to Jinling. Instead, he went to crash for the night at Jinmei District.
After all, it was closer to Jiang Yixia, so he could be there to help if anything happened.
As he was getting ready for bed, Lu Fan sent a message to Jiang Silu: [I heard you have to prepare another piece for the next round of the competition. If you need any help, just let me know.]
Jiang Silu was working on some CAD files at that moment. When she saw Lu Fan’s message, she couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her heart.
She originally wanted to reply: [No, thank you.]
But after a moment’s thought, she felt that wasn’t quite right. She deleted the words and typed out a new line: [Okay, I will. Thank you~]
Lu Fan: [By the way, are there any wishes you want fulfilled lately? Daddy can make them all come true for you.]
Jiang Silu thought for a moment before replying: [I’m very happy right now, and I don’t have any wishes I want fulfilled. I’ll let you know when I think of one~]
Lu Fan was gratified to see Jiang Silu’s change in attitude.
’At least his efforts these past few days hadn’t been in vain.’
’At first, Jiang Silu had been cold and dismissive, but then she started being willing to talk to him.’
’And now, she wouldn’t just casually refuse him anymore.’
