Reborn in 2000: Starting from Pursuing the Pure High School Beauty Desk Mate

Chapter 781: A Childhood Sweetheart Boyfriend?

Xu Qiuci was furious.

She had just returned to Yunhai, originally planning to have a meal with old friends during her day off.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Kai had shown up at her doorstep.

In fact, the moment she saw this guy, Xu Qiuci understood.

It must have been her mother who leaked the information.

Zhou Kai and Xu Qiuci had known each other since childhood, as he was the son of Xu Qiuci father's old war buddy.

The two families had a good relationship.

Zhou Kai's family was in the clothing business, running a small garment factory in Xu Qiuci's hometown. They had made quite a bit of money over the years. They lived in a western-style house and drove cars. They were considered famous entrepreneurs in their local town.

The Zhou family had liked Xu Qiuci since she was little, especially Zhou Kai's mother, who was particularly fond of her.

Back in school, Zhou Kai's mother had joked more than once about wanting to take this girl as her daughter-in-law.

Xu Qiuci's parents naturally wouldn't object, and were even happy about the prospect of the two families becoming even closer.

After graduation, the two families had discussed this matter, but only Xu Qiuci refused.

Her reason was that she wanted to find a job first and didn't want to consider marriage for the time being.

For this reason, she returned to Yunhai alone and temporarily found a job to settle down.

Xu Qiuci's mother was naturally very angry.

She couldn't understand why her daughter wouldn't choose a good life, and instead insisted on working, which she saw as just making things difficult for herself.

During last year's Chinese New Year, when the two families met, Zhou Kai's mother brought up the marriage of the two children again. This time, Xu Qiuci's mother agreed unilaterally.

When Xu Qiuci found out, she was furious and told her mother that she would not marry Zhou Kai, and that she had already changed to a better job.

When the two families asked, it turned out she was working as an assistant in a real estate company.

Hearing this, Zhou Kai's mother laughed.

"Isn't that just being a secretary?"

"Being a secretary isn't a good job, and it doesn't sound good when people hear about it."

"It would be much better to just marry our Kaikai. When his father and I get old, the garment factory will eventually be taken over by his son. By then, you won't need to work, and you can be a good wife and mother at home every day. Wouldn't that be nice?"

Hearing this, Xu Qiuci became even more angry. She directly lost her temper at home and moved out.

After that, Xu Qiuci was transferred by Chen Fan to the branch company in Pudong.

By coincidence, she ended up finding some peace and quiet.

She originally thought that after a year, both families would have let the matter go.

Who would have thought that as soon as she returned home, Zhou Kai would come after her.

Xu Qiuci was naturally very displeased, and at the same time, a bit angry at her mother's behavior.

Standing at the entrance of the shopping mall, she clearly told Zhou Kai that they weren't suitable for each other and that she didn't like him.

But Zhou Kai didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and said that not liking someone was because of a lack of understanding.

Once they got married, they could slowly get to know each other. After spending more time together, she would naturally come to like him.

Xu Qiuci was speechless at this guy's narcissistic behavior.

She had never had a good impression of Zhou Kai since childhood.

Because this guy had always been good at pretending when they were in school.

At home, when facing elders, he always pretended to be a well-behaved and sensible good child.

But outside, Zhou Kai had done plenty of bad things. He started dating early in middle school, and in college, he took advantage of his family's wealth to change girlfriends frequently.

Xu Qiuci understood very well that Zhou Kai might not really like her that much.

The reason he wouldn't give up was purely out of a man's desire for possession.

What you can't have is always tantalizing.

If she really married him, it probably wouldn't be long before this guy got bored and started living a life of debauchery outside again.

This time, Xu Qiuci decided to solve this problem thoroughly.

So she clearly told Zhou Kai that there was no possibility between them, and she hoped that Zhou Kai would stop bothering her in the future.

But just as she finished speaking and was about to leave, Zhou Kai rushed over and blocked her way.

"Why? Qiuci, why don't you like me?"

"We've known each other since childhood, aren't I good enough?"

Xu Qiuci took a deep breath, "Zhou Kai, I can only say that you and I are not on the same path, and you're not my type."

"Please don't harass me again in the future, otherwise... we won't even be able to remain friends."

These words seemed to have provoked him. Just as Xu Qiuci was about to leave, Zhou Kai suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Our marriage is something both of our parents have agreed to. You know how I feel about you, why won't you marry me..."

Xu Qiuci was already getting angry.

"Let go of me."

"I won't let go! Come back with me, I want my parents to go to your house and propose. Let's get married right after the New Year."

"Zhou Kai, let go of me. Otherwise, we won't even be friends in the future."

Zhou Kai smiled, "It doesn't matter if we're not friends, you can be my wife..."

Disappointment gradually filled Xu Qiuci's eyes.

"You've completely ruined your image in my eyes."

"Let go of me..."

But Zhou Kai had also lost his temper. He grabbed Xu Qiuci and tried to leave.

"Come home with me."

"You..."

"Let her go!"

Just as Xu Qiuci was about to lose her temper, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. She looked up and was immediately stunned.

Her entire demeanor instantly became awkward.

Zhou Kai turned his head and saw Chen Fan standing behind him. He frowned.

"Who are you?"

"Mind your own business. Get lost!"

"Mr. Chen..."

Xu Qiuci called out softly.

Zhou Kai was startled and looked at Chen Fan suspiciously.

"You know him?"

Chen Fan stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Kai's arm.

"Let her go."

Zhou Kai immediately became angry, "You f**king... ouch ouch..."

His arm hurt so much that he immediately let go, retreating several steps while crying out in pain.

"Are you okay?" Chen Fan asked.

Xu Qiuci shook her head.

"Mr. Chen. You... why are you here?"

Chen Fan smiled, "Just passing by."

On the other side, Zhou Kai was rubbing his painful arm, glaring angrily at Chen Fan.

"Kid, you're f**king meddling in other people's business. Are you looking for death?"

Xu Qiuci quickly stepped forward.

"Zhou Kai, don't go crazy. This is my boss."

Zhou Kai was stunned. He looked Chen Fan up and down, then suddenly sneered.

"Qiuci, even if you want to make up an excuse, at least find a better one."

"This is your boss? Are you kidding? Is there such a young boss?"

Xu Qiuci became anxious, her small face turning red.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Chen Fan stared at Zhou Kai and said calmly, "She is my employee and also my friend. If you dare to harass her again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Zhou Kai looked at Chen Fan warily, as if he suddenly thought of something.

"I understand now..."

"So that's how it is. No wonder you wouldn't marry me. Giving up a good life as a young mistress. Insisting on being someone's secretary."

"So it's him. So you're being his secretary."

Zhou Kai sneered.

"And you say we're not suitable, that I'm not your type."

"That's all bullshit!"

"Xu Qiuci, I think you've been kept by him, haven't you?"
