Although the chances of making Jiang Zhenjun admit defeat were slim.
Jiang Nanfang didn't sleep well all night.
Drowsy, her subconscious feared receiving a call from him asking for peace.
However, by seven in the morning, when Jiang Nanfang got up and tidied herself, there was still no movement from him.
While applying light makeup, Jiang Nanfang called Vice President Gao to say she couldn't come to the company today due to an engagement.
Then, she prepared to go out and visit the families of the employees injured by Jiang Zhenjun one by one, instigating them to cause trouble at the Jiang family's residence.
Unexpectedly, before she could leave, an unknown number called.
She glanced at it; it was a local number from Nancheng, and the digits were quite pleasant.
Jiang Nanfang found it somewhat familiar, but knowing it wasn't Zhan Bei Jue or Vice President Gao, she wasn't interested in answering and hung up directly.
However, the caller was quite persistent. She didn't answer the first time, then the second, third, and fourth times. Jiang Nanfang finally picked up.
"Miss Jiang, why did you delete me from WeChat?"
It turned out to be Zhou Jinxiu.
Calling her so many times early in the morning, didn't this rich second-generation heir have to work? Was he that idle?
Jiang Nanfang replied impatiently, "Is there something, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Jinxiu sighed, "Why are you so heartless? I've been messaging you since last night, and my verification requests are still pending this morning."
"I miss you so much, please, accept me. Add me back."
"..."
The affectionate words came so suddenly that Jiang Nanfang was shocked early in the morning.
"If I remember correctly, I explained to you before that I'm not interested in you, and there's no need for us to get to know each other further. Mr. Zhou, is your hearing bad?"
Zhou Jinxiu shamelessly replied, "You're not interested in me, but I'm interested in you."
"I'm at your apartment complex entrance now. If you don't accept me, I'll come up to find you. Have you had breakfast? Shall I bring you some breakfast?"
Who on earth had given away her address?
Anyone could find her now, Jiang Nanfang was truly exasperated.
She closed the door, went downstairs to get her car, and soon, the two met at the entrance of the complex.
Seeing her driving such a cute little car, with a pair of adorable fake eyelashes attached to the headlights, Zhou Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh.
"I didn't realize. The cold and aloof Miss Jiang actually has a girlish heart. Look at this car, you've dressed it up like a doll, it's so interesting."
Jiang Nanfang sat in the car, pushed up her sunglasses, and looked at him coldly.
"So, you came all this way early in the morning just to praise my car for being interesting?"
"Not only is your car interesting, but you are also very interesting. A day apart feels like three autumns, I miss you so much, Nanfang. Let's go have breakfast together."
Did this person have a problem with his brain? She had already rejected him, and it seemed he couldn't understand.
Jiang Nanfang ignored him, her face grim, and rolled up the car window.
"I've already eaten, I have things to do, I'm leaving, you do as you please."
Zhou Jinxiu, unafraid, reached his hand into the car window to stop her.
"Hey, don't be so cold. I at least helped you with your travel expenses once. We have dozens of dollars in connection. What's wrong with having a meal together?"
The car window was stuck, halted midway. Jiang Nanfang looked at him through the gap.
"Did you not accept the red envelope I sent you?"
"As a grown man, how could I haggle with a woman over a few dozen dollars?"
"If you don't haggle with a woman over a few dozen dollars, then what are you doing now?"
"I'm creating an opportunity to pursue the lovely Miss Jiang."
Zhou Jinxiu laughed shamelessly, then suddenly walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and plopped himself down.
The car was modified, and the roof could be opened.
There was a handle directly above the driver's head. Turning it and pushing it inward would do the trick.
Jiang Nanfang hadn't noticed this mechanism yet. Zhou Jinxiu operated it for her, and the little cute car immediately transformed into a stylish convertible.
He took off the sunglasses hanging on his shirt collar and put them on. The two of them, impeccably dressed and fashionably attired, looked like a well-matched couple.
"Your car is really cool. If we walk on the street like this, we'll definitely get 100% of the attention."
"Nanfang, let's go. Eat breakfast."
"You..."
"Don't rush to refuse. I have things to do after eating. Don't worry, I won't pester you endlessly."
After all, she hadn't done anything morally reprehensible, so Jiang Nanfang couldn't just beat him away with a stick.
She could only drive him away.
But she remained cold, "What do you want to eat?"
Zhou Tianzhen: "Let's go to Yuehai Xuan for morning tea. It's nutritious and light, good for girls' skin after eating."
Jiang Nanfang scoffed and said, "That place is crowded, I don't have time to queue with you. I'll treat you to a roadside stall."
"What do you mean by roadside stall?"
"Aren't you from Nancheng? You don't even know what a roadside stall is, why pretend to be elegant?"
Saying that, Jiang Nanfang turned the steering wheel, the car turned into a side road, and after a few hundred meters, a row of breakfast stalls with wisps of smoke appeared by the roadside.
All of them had bright red signs with yellow lettering.
Layered pancakes, soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, spicy soup, rice noodles, soup noodles, fried noodles...
Jiang Nanfang found a good parking spot, parked her little pink car, and gestured to him with her chin.
"This is what's called a roadside stall. You're so uncultured, today I'll broaden your horizons."
The breakfast stalls were uniformly small, only about twenty to thirty square meters.
Five tables filled the space inside, and most diners sat outside on the non-motorized vehicle lane.
A folding table and a red plastic chair were all there was.
The general quality of people in places with affordable prices was not high. Cheap tissues were scattered all over the floor. Many middle-aged men smoked while eating breakfast, and some even spat on the ground as they ate.
Zhou Jinxiu, wearing spotless white shoes, frowned and dodged the tissues on the ground as he walked into the shop with Jiang Nanfang.
"Aren't you afraid of catching an infectious disease eating in a place like this?"
Jiang Nanfang said, "I've been eating here for over 20 years. If I were going to get sick, I would have long ago. You better stay away from me, maybe I really have something, don't get infected by me."
"..."
The two of them went to sit at a table that someone had just vacated.
Seeing that the owner was busy, Jiang Nanfang pulled off a piece of tissue paper, wiped the table of the soup stains, moved the bowls with residual soup aside, kicked the tissues on the ground further in, and sat down.
"You can still run away now."
"If a woman can eat here, why should I, a man, be afraid?"
Although Zhou Jinxiu couldn't accept it in his heart, he still forced himself to sit down.
Mimicking Jiang Nanfang, he pulled off some tissues and wiped the table in front of him again and again.
Jiang Nanfang chided him, "That's enough. A bowl of rice costs a few yuan. Using their entire roll of tissues is not enough to cover the cost."
"..."
The proprietress glanced back at them, "What would the handsome gentleman and beautiful lady like to eat?"
Jiang Nanfang said expertly, "A bowl of chicken soup rice noodles."
"Alright, and for the handsome gentleman?"
"I... the same as her."
"Do you want chili?"
"No."
"Yes."
"Do you want cilantro?"
"No."
"Yes."
"Okay, please wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."
After finishing with the proprietress, Jiang Nanfang sneered at him.
"You really are a pampered young master. Your taste is even milder than mine. Are men from wealthy families raised like canaries?"
Zhou Jinxiu wasn't angry, raising his eyebrows indifferently.
"Anyway, I've decided to pursue you. No matter how much you criticize me, mock me, or even call me a eunuch today, I won't be angry."
"Nanfang, I've truly fallen in love with you."
