Chapter 1736: I'm Pretending to Be Your Girlfriend

Su Qiangying came out of the kitchen and warmly hosted everyone.

She washed fruit, fetched snacks, placed fresh flowers in vases, and then, according to everyone's different preferences, brought out different flavors of tea, beverages, and fruit juices and placed them in front of everyone.

In front of each person was the flavor they liked to drink; it was not wrong at all.

Besides being overbearing, she was also very capable; she attended to everyone by herself, yet it was orderly, and she had no complaints at all, nor would she let anyone help her.

"You don't need to help."

Su Qiangying said, "In the future, when I go to your homes, I will follow your rules and do things together with everyone, but when you come to my home, you must follow my rules: you don't have to do anything, you just need to be happy and chat."

If one didn't agree to such a reasonable request, it would be too heartless.

Everyone sat in the living room teasing Zirui, while Su Qiangying was busy in the kitchen by herself.

Everyone was chatting lively when Zihan received a phone call; his expression immediately became nervous, he held a finger to his lips to signal everyone to be quiet, and walked on tiptoe to the balcony to answer the call.

His voice was very low, and everyone couldn't hear what he was saying; Tian Yuanyuan's expression changed and became very unpleasant.

"It's fine, wait for him to come back and ask," Gu Yuxin said, putting her arm around Tian Yuanyuan's shoulder to comfort her.

Zihan came back after finishing the call, and seeing his girlfriend with teary eyes and a look of forbearance, he understood immediately.

"Yuanyuan, you misunderstood; it wasn't Wang Qing calling, if you don't believe me, check my phone."

He handed over his phone, and everyone saw that the call log showed Bai Manman.

His girlfriend wiped away her tears and smiled, happy again.

Bai Manman often called Zihan, and sometimes she would call her too, and the content was always the same—where is Zirui? I can't find him.

Just now, Zihan had asked everyone to be quiet and went to the balcony to answer the phone for this very reason; if Bai Manman knew he was with Zirui, she would pester him endlessly and insist on getting the address.

The misunderstanding was cleared up and Tian Yuanyuan smiled, but Zirui's brow furrowed.

He was extremely repulsed by Bai Manman's pestering; she harassed the people around him when she couldn't find him, and this kind of thing had happened more than once or twice, yet he had no way to deal with it.

Zihan loved to watch the excitement and wasn't afraid of trouble; he patted Zirui on the shoulder and said in an old-fashioned tone, "Zirui, I've worried my heart out for you, can you let me worry a little less?"

Zirui slapped his hand away: "Get lost."

"Didn't you guys promise to think of a way for me last time? Have you thought of one yet?"

Zichen and Zihan both indicated they had no way.

They were fine at dealing with others, but when it came to Bai Manman, they had absolutely no tricks.

That was true; even Shi Youxuan had no way, so what way could they have?

Every method had been exhausted; last time Yuxin and Tian Yuanyuan went to persuade Bai Manman, trying to get her to let go, but the two girls came back crying, having actually been moved by her deep affection.

However, love cannot be sustained by being moved alone, so the pair of Zirui and Bai Manman was simply unsolvable.

With his girlfriend having returned in defeat, Zichen took the field himself.

He used kind words to tell her not to hang herself on one tree, and took out several photos for her to choose from, saying they were all his classmates, all very excellent boys, and single.

Bai Manman glared at him and said decisively, "In this life, I only recognize Zirui; even if other men are better, it has nothing to do with me. I am his person in life, and his ghost in death."

Giving up easily was not his character.

Zichen, who had always been upright, also used quite a few not-so-upright tricks.

For example: inviting his classmates to "accidentally" meet Bai Manman and strike up a conversation.

Or hiring people to play the villain and the hero to stage a scene of a hero saving a beauty.

If it could arouse even a bit of favor in her, they would continue dating, which could be considered a beautiful story.

But it didn't work; no matter what type they were, Bai Manman could shut them down with a single sentence.

She wouldn't even look straight at those who pursued her.

Zichen had used all sorts of tricks and was truly out of ideas; he said to Zirui, "I owe you, and I can only repay you in other ways; I really have no way to deal with this Bai Manman."

Zihan: "I have no way either."

"I admit, it was my fault for introducing Bai Manman to Zirui at the beginning, but now I really can't solve it; that person is impervious to reason and nothing works on her."

If the one who tied the bell is not the one who can untie it, is it really a dead knot?

If even Zihan had a girl he couldn't handle, then no one could handle her.

At this time, Su Qiangying came out of the kitchen and said, "Find a girl to pretend to be Zirui's girlfriend and let her retreat in the face of difficulties, wouldn't that work?"

"Go cook, don't mess around."

Moli wanted to drive his girlfriend back to the kitchen.

Her habit of meddling in other people's business had flared up again.

Moli was afraid she would take everything upon herself; if others couldn't do it, it would be a waste of effort for her to go.

Su Qiangying didn't go back and volunteered, "How about this, I'll pretend to be Zirui's girlfriend and go meet this Bai Manman."

"Can you do it?" Moli was skeptical, but everyone else agreed.

Treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor; let's try it, what if it succeeds?

The next day.

Bai Manman received a call from Zirui; she was ecstatic inside, answered immediately, and said with a trembling voice, "Zirui, Zirui, is that you? You finally took the initiative to call me."

Zirui: "I want to talk to you, do you have time?"

"I won't break up."

"Meet at Zhongshan Park at two in the afternoon, I'm bringing someone to see you." Zirui hung up the phone after saying this.

She held her phone happily and talked to herself: "Annoying, I haven't even answered whether I have time yet."

Of course she had time; even if something earth-shattering were to happen at two in the afternoon, it couldn't stop her from seeing Zirui.

She immediately called back: "Zirui, where in Zhongshan Park?"

That park was huge; just saying the park without a specific location, where was she supposed to look?

Sheng Zirui: "Under the sculpture in Zhongshan Park."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely be on time, no, I will arrive early..."

Before she could finish speaking, the "beep-beep" sound of the line being hung up already came from the other side.

It didn't matter.

What mattered was that Zirui said he wanted to bring someone to meet her, not that he was bringing up a breakup.

Bai Manman was incredibly happy; she hurriedly picked out a beautiful dress and began to dress up and apply makeup.

She felt wonderful inside; Zirui wanting to bring a friend to meet her meant he had accepted her, right?

That's right, it must be like that.

Her sincerity had finally moved Zirui, and her spring was about to arrive!

After changing her clothes, applying exquisite makeup, and styling her hair, Bai Manman grabbed her bag and headed downstairs in high spirits.

Mother Bai asked curiously, "Are you going out?"

Her daughter hadn't dolled herself up like this or looked so radiant in a long time.

"Yes, Mom, do you know? Zirui asked to meet me, I'm heading out!" She ran off as soon as she finished speaking.

Her daughter was as spirited as a colorful butterfly; Mother Bai sighed, this child was just too stubborn, the whole world could see that Sheng Zirui didn't like her, only she couldn't see it herself.

Even if she could see it, she wouldn't believe it.
