Chapter 1737: The Woman Who Can Keep Su Qiangying in Check

Zhongshan Park.

When Bai Manman arrived under the statue, it was only 12:20; there was still one hour and forty minutes until the date, she had arrived too early.

But arriving early gave her more peace of mind; she was afraid that if she came late, she would make Zirui wait.

A little girl came up to her and asked with a very sweet mouth: "Big sister, you are so beautiful, would you like to buy a flower?" The little girl was eleven or twelve years old, with a large flower basket draped over her arm.

Bai Manman happened to be bored, so she asked casually: "Little girl, why aren't you at school, but selling flowers here instead?"

The little girl said: "Today is Sunday, there are no classes at school, so I came out to sell flowers to earn some pocket money."

"How do you sell these flowers?"

"Five yuan a stem, it's not expensive."

It was indeed not expensive.

Bai Manman took out her wallet, pulled out two hundred-yuan bills, and said to the little girl: "I want all the flowers in this basket."

The little girl was very happy, but she only took one bill and wanted to give the big sister change.

"No need for change, it's all for you, but you have to help me wrap them, wrap them up nicely, can you do that?"

"Okay."

The little girl put down the basket and ran off, returning not long after with beautiful wrapping paper in her hands; she carefully wrapped the flowers into a beautiful bouquet and handed it to her.

Bai Manman held the fiery red roses, waiting for her date with her beloved.

As the time drew closer, she became more and more nervous, taking out her mirror from time to time to check her makeup, quickly touching up wherever it didn't look right.

It was almost time, why hadn't Zirui come yet?

She craned her neck in anticipation, and finally saw her beloved appear, but her heart sank, sinking lower and lower.

He had said he would bring a friend along; she had thought many times about what kind of friend it would be: a classmate, a buddy... she just hadn't expected it to be a woman.

The woman took Zirui's arm, walked up to Bai Manman with a smile, and generously took the initiative to reach out her hand: "Hello, I am Zirui's girlfriend."

Of course, Bai Manman did not shake her hand; she was holding the flowers, so she couldn't spare a hand, and even if she could, she wouldn't shake it!

She had never heard of rivals in love shaking hands when they met.

She stared at Su Qiangying, her gaze sharp and very unfriendly.

Zirui did not want to stay long; he wanted to make a clean break.

He said to Bai Manman: "We came here just to make things clear to you; from now on, don't pester me anymore, I have a girlfriend."

She asked: "I know you don't like me, but didn't you like that woman named Qi Shishi? You changed partners so quickly?"

"That's none of your business; no matter who I like, I will never like you."

Su Qiangying said: "Zirui has already made things so clear, just let him go; you two aren't a good match, feelings aren't something that can be forced."

"You are also very beautiful and your family background isn't bad either; there will surely be excellent boys who like you, why hang yourself on one tree?"

Bai Manman stared at Su Qiangying for a good while, her gaze gradually becoming calm.

The woman in front of her was urging her to let go, and she immediately retorted: "Auntie, how old are you, how do you have the nerve to say such things to me? We aren't a match, but are you and him a match? You're about the same age as Zirui's mother, right? I think you look even older than his mother; you are even less worthy of Zirui."

"What did you call me?" Su Qiangying's voice rose suddenly, an octave higher.

She was furious.

Was this woman crazy?

Calling her Auntie?

She was a few years older than Zirui, but was she that old?

"Cough, cough..."

Zirui choked on his own saliva.

He hadn't expected Bai Manman to be so infuriating when she spoke, and he couldn't help but look at her again, which undoubtedly served to cheer her on.

She continued: "Auntie, stop acting now; look at how stiff you are holding Zirui's arm, you aren't a couple at all."

"You are someone he found to test me, aren't you? You don't have to answer, you definitely are."

Zirui:...

A flash of panic crossed Su Qiangying's eyes, but a strong-willed woman never admits defeat!

In her desperation, she threw her arm over Zirui's shoulder.

Su Qiangying said stubbornly: "How are we not a couple? Look at how intimate we are."

Bai Manman let out a "pfft" and laughed.

She said: "You two look more like brothers, or an elder and a junior."

Su Qiangying raged: "If you dare mention 'elder' one more time, I'll fall out with you."

She wouldn't let her mention it, so she insisted on mentioning it.

"Auntie, stop pretending, you don't look like it at all; your acting is too poor, not even half as good as the actor Zichen brought, I don't care who you are, since you're here, I'll say it again to your face."

I will absolutely not give up on Zirui; he already promised to marry me, so he must keep his word."

Sheng Zirui turned and left.

Su Qiangying had finally witnessed Bai Manman's capabilities; she decided to stop pretending and tried to persuade her earnestly: "Girl, why bother?"

"A twisted melon is not sweet; life is so long, you won't be happy being with someone who doesn't love you."

"You finally admit you aren't his girlfriend?"

"Yes, I'm not, but you won't be happy being with him..."

Bai Manman: "I don't care, as long as I love him, that's enough; even a stone can be warmed up if given enough time."

Su Qiangying: "Girl, don't be foolish; a stone is just a stone, even if you warm it up, it will never have a heart; thinking like this will only harm yourself."

Bai Manman said: "I'm willing; even if he never loves me, I still want to be with him."

"As long as I can see him, as long as he can be by my side, even if he has someone else in his heart, so what? I just want a title, I don't ask for anything else..."

That is what she says, but in reality, she cannot do it at all.

Country L is an example of this.

She cannot help but feel jealous and fight for her own rights; of course, there is nothing wrong with that.

Su Qiangying asked, "Is there any point in you pestering him like this?"

"There is a point; who told him to provoke me?"

"Back when we were in school, I liked him the moment I first saw him. That one glance, and I carved him into my heart, never to be forgotten..."

Su Qiangying felt that this woman could no longer be described simply as having a 'love-struck brain'; she simply had no brain at all, acting like a lunatic, too stubborn.

Sheng Zirui detests her to the extreme, yet she still loves him, loves him to the point of death.

Love should be a two-way journey, not one person giving without any bottom line!

She is only like this because she met Sheng Zirui; if it were some other scumbag, she would be helping him count the money even after being sold by him.

The little person of justice in Su Qiangying's heart was stirring; could she really not persuade her?

"Even if you get a title, you will just be living as a widow while he is still alive for the rest of your life."

"I don't care. As long as I can marry him, I don't care what kind of suffering I have to endure."

Su Qiangying plopped down onto the chair nearby.

Talking to a woman like this is truly exhausting; she is completely impervious to reason.

She did not know that although this was the first time for her to have such a conversation, for Bai Manman, it had already happened many times.
