The key point is that after Lu Qin learned that Jiang Zheyuan was married, she didn't actually harass him. Instead, she made everyone around her make Jiang Zheyuan pay for Lu Qin's single status.

At that time, there were many unmarried women who wanted to pursue their careers or see a wider world.

However, the overall public opinion environment still feels sorry for a woman who has wasted her life, especially for a woman like Lu Qin who is outstanding in every way.

So even near the end of the book, people were still intentionally or unintentionally asking about Lu Qin in front of Jiang Zheyuan.

They even said it was a pity that such a woman remained single her whole life.

There are also male business partners. Everyone says Jiang Zheyuan is a prominent figure. No wonder Lu Qin had such an unforgettable experience and wasted her life. They also say that he is the role model for men.

However, the author did reveal Jiang Zheyuan's inner world.

He gave a cold smile to the person who was shifting the blame onto him.

He mentally gave the middle finger—a gesture he'd never made more than a few times in his life—to the men who were flattering him.

How much of a failure and how much deprivation must a man experience to flaunt a woman as a trophy?

When Shao Moli succeeds, during interviews, people never ask about her path to success. Instead, they always shift the focus to Jiang Zheyuan, asking about their love story and saying that it's rare to find such a compatible soulmate in a second marriage... Some even ask if she minds Lu Qin's presence...

Few people really care about her achievements, even though Shao Moli is already incredibly accomplished.

Lu Qin is truly an unforgettable character who appears throughout the entire book.

Therefore, it's hard for Shao Wanwan not to care.

"Based on my understanding of her, she's not the type to commit suicide. But I'll call my mom. My mom really likes Lu Qin. Lu Qin has always gone to my mom whenever she has something on her mind. I'll find a place to park and call my mom later, and ask her to keep an eye on things," Jiang Zheyuan comforted Shao Wanwan.

Shao Wanwan knew that Professor Jiang liked Lu Qin because Professor Jiang had watched Lu Qin grow up.

If you're someone who suddenly appears out of nowhere, don't try to steal the attention from others.

Lu Qin was at most an acquaintance of Shao Wanwan, and her impression of her was not good. Jiang Zheyuan said he would pay attention, so Shao Wanwan had nothing to say. So she looked at the scenery outside the window.

Jiang Zheyuan glanced at her several times, but Shao Wanwan was completely unaware.

Then Jiang Zheyuan used his experience to judge that Shao Wanwan was angry.

Because her future mother-in-law has taken notice of her rival.

Despite having lived two lifetimes and being quite old, Jiang Zheyuan had very little experience in coaxing people.

Especially after he and Shao Moli spent less and less time together, as they were both busy with their own careers, he had even less opportunity to coax her.

Jiang Zheyuan was getting a little anxious, realizing how little he knew.

Jiang Zheyuan found a place to park, and just as he was about to talk to Shao Wanwan, Shao Wanwan saw the uncle selling candied hawthorns. She turned to Jiang Zheyuan and said, "You can make the call slowly. I'll go buy candied hawthorns and also buy some roasted sweet potatoes and roasted chestnuts for Grandma and the others."

After saying that, Shao Wanwan quickly got out of the car.

They quickly chased after the person selling candied hawthorns on a bicycle.

Shao Wanwan has long legs and runs very fast. She quickly caught up with the candied hawthorn vendor. She bought one hawthorn and one yam, and while eating them, she went to the stall selling roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes, where she bought a few sweet potatoes and a bag of chestnuts.

At this time of year, no one cares about setting up stalls. As long as there is a little foot traffic, a small market will spontaneously form, with more than ten stalls, enough to fill your stomach from beginning to end.

After finishing his call, Jiang Zheyuan, worried about Shao Wanwan, immediately followed her out.

Seeing Shao Wanwan eating a sugar pancake, he said somewhat awkwardly, "Are you angry?"

Shao Wanwan was taken aback. "Why do you ask that?"

Jiang Zheyuan's past life experience made him realize that this was a trap question. If Shao Wanwan wasn't angry, and he revealed his reason for suspecting that she would be angry, wouldn't that give Shao Wanwan a reason to be angry?

But if Shao Wanwan gets angry and you don't know how to coax her, but instead pretend to be stupid, won't Shao Wanwan get even angrier?

He scratched his head.

Things I didn't experience or think about in my previous life, I don't know how to do in this life.

It's a waste that he made so much money. Wherever he goes, people call him "General Manager Jiang." A weakness is a weakness. He shouldn't have, and he doesn't now.

Seeing Jiang Zheyuan stunned, Shao Wanwan took another bite of the sugar cake, "You still haven't told me what I'm angry about."

"What I mean is, if you eat sugar cakes without eating anything else, won't your teeth hurt or feel uncomfortable?" Jiang Zheyuan couldn't bring himself to say it, so he changed it to this.

"I've already eaten two skewers of candied hawthorn, so I'm not on an empty stomach," Shao Wanwan continued, munching on a sugar pancake.

The shop owner sensed that he was up to no good, that he was here to disrupt her business, and that she had bought five of them! She was still frying the other four herself.

"Young man, you can eat whatever you want, but don't talk nonsense. Our sugar pancakes are perfectly clean! We grind the flour ourselves, and we make the brown sugar ourselves. They're much better than what you eat at restaurants. Don't look down on these sugar pancakes, and don't underestimate these steamed buns." The shopkeeper smiled at Shao Wanwan after saying this.

Then he asked, "Young lady, isn't our sugar pancake delicious?"

What does this have to do with anything?!

How did I manage to offend my boss?

Shao Wanwan nodded and handed over the sugar cake. "Try it. It's hot and fresh out of the pan. It's especially delicious."

The boss stared at Jiang Zheyuan with shining eyes.

Jiang Zheyuan blushed deeply, leaned over, and took a symbolic bite.

As expected, it was soft and chewy with a hint of brown sugar aroma, a particularly excellent blend of sugar and oil.

But when Shao Wanwan asked him to eat more, he said he couldn't eat anymore.

The boss looked at him with shining eyes again.

This made him a little embarrassed.

It's not that this food is bad, but rather that he died of natural causes at a very old age in his previous life. In order to prevent diabetes, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease, his private doctor personally supervised his meals and prescribed a healthy diet for him. He had developed a habit of eating very light meals.

Shao Wanwan dragged him to eat hot pot, but he always ate the clear broth.

Habits formed over many years cannot be changed even at nineteen or twenty years old after rebirth.

"Tsk tsk tsk, such a big young man, so hesitant and fussy when eating, not at all comfortable. This beautiful woman is feeding you, who wouldn't be overjoyed..." the boss joked while frying sugar pancakes.

Jiang Zheyuan gave a wry smile and took another bite of the sugar cake.

He looked so awkward, like a young, unmarried man... even though that's exactly what he is!

After Shao Wanwan gathered all the things she bought together, Jiang Zheyuan stared at the various snacks he was carrying and was speechless.

“Grandma has been living in Yantang Village and has never eaten anything. I want to buy her more food. Some of these are things I haven’t tried either. We’ll take them back and let her try them all,” Shao Wanwan said happily.
