Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

"You think you can join the army in this state?! Don't let the drill instructors kick you out as soon as you get in! That would be such a disgrace to the entire RT-Mart!"

Xu Zimu was still muttering to himself, but he quietly pulled his legs back and sat up straight.

Zhou Liwan smiled knowingly and said nothing more to him.

After the car started moving, Zhou Liwan called Yao Ruofu.

It was only then that Zhou Liwan found out that Yao Ruofu, that hopeless woman, had actually gone to see that scumbag Song Bin again.

Xu Zimu saw Zhou Liwan's face darken as she spoke on the phone, and he leaned closer with concern, mouthing, "What's wrong?"

"We're here to pick you up. Get out here right now." Zhou Liwan could no longer contain her anger, and her tone was anything but pleasant.

They could only meekly agree.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Liwan slammed it onto her seat. Xu Zimu then quickly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Zhou Liwan didn't want to talk about Yao Ruofu's private love affairs, so she just kept a straight face and looked out the window quietly: "Tell the driver to turn around, we're going to Jiaji Community in the suburbs."

Xu Zimu had never heard of this place name before and asked curiously, "Aren't you going to pick up your best friend?"

Zhou Liwan pouted, and after a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "I just went to pick her up."

Xu Zimu then realized that there might be some twists and turns involved, so he didn't ask any further questions and quietly turned his head to admire the environment he had never seen before.

The view outside the window gradually changed from high-rise buildings to low-rise bungalows, large swathes of green plants, and many cultivated fields.

Xu Zimu kept expressing his curiosity and amazement along the way.

He had never seen a place like this before.

Nearly an hour later, the car slowly came to a stop, and the driver was just about to say that we had arrived.

But then I saw two people still cuddling together not far away, and I didn't know whether I should warn them or not.

Zhou Liwan naturally noticed, and with a dark expression, she pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Seeing Zhou Liwan's aggressive demeanor, Song Bin instinctively took a few steps back, but in order not to be looked down upon by Yao Ruofu, he took a few deep breaths and stood forward with his chest out.

"Miss Zhou, it's been a long time."

Zhou Liwan's icy eyes were so cold they seemed to drip water. She stared intently at Yao Ruofu, but spoke to Song Bin: "You really are a persistent ghost. You just keep bothering my Afu, don't you!"

Song Bin retorted loudly, "Miss Zhou, I know you and Afu are best friends, but you can't always interfere in her love life! We are truly in love, and I brought her here today to meet my parents!"

I genuinely love her money and status. If I could marry her, would I even need to struggle for the rest of my life? This isn't something that can be achieved overnight; even a fool knows which choice to make!

Zhou Liwan's fist hardened, and she questioned Yao Ruofu: "Are you really going to meet his parents with him? You don't care about his cheating on you? Are you in such a hurry to throw yourself at someone like him?"

Yao Ruofu didn't want the two of them to argue over her. She had been urging Song Bin to go back, but he kept asking her when she could see her father.

Yao Ruofu knew that her father would never see him, but she didn't want to hurt his feelings, so she kept making excuses and trying to get by with the matter for now.

Unexpectedly, Wanwan arrived so quickly. Yao Ruofu glanced at Zhou Liwan with her evasive eyes, then walked over and tugged at her sleeve coquettishly, saying, "Wanwan, don't be angry. Today we're seeing Xu Zimu off, he's the main character, so let's not talk about me. Let's go first, okay?"

Zhou Liwan calmed down and realized she couldn't spoil Xu Zimu's mood: "Let's go, get in the car first."

After seeing off the group of spoiled young masters who didn't know the value of money, Song Bin smugly twirled the keychain in his hand, whistling as he nonchalantly returned to his small house.

Looking through the rearview mirror, Zhou Liwan saw that after getting into the car, he never spoke another word to Yao Ruofu.

Yao Ruofu fawned over her, saying, "Wanwan, please don't be angry anymore. I came here because Song Bin's mother wanted to meet me. She even gave me a bracelet that Song Bin's grandmother gave her when she got married!"

After saying that, she proudly showed off her snow-white wrist, revealing a jade bracelet that looked like it was made from the bottom of a beer bottle. Zhou Liwan simply couldn't bear to look at it.

"You." Zhou Liwan wanted to explode, but she calmed herself down. "I don't believe that someone with your eyes that have seen so much jewelry and jade can't tell that this is made from the bottom of a beer bottle? Don't you feel that wearing something like this on your wrist will hurt your skin?"

Yao Ruofu naturally saw it at a glance, but she understood Song Bin's family's circumstances: "I know, but think about Song Bin's family's financial situation. They've already tried their best to give themselves the best they can afford, so how can I be picky?"

Seeing that Zhou Liwan's expression was still not very good, Yao Ruofu thought for a long time about Song Bin's advantages and continued: "Moreover, when I went to their house today, they said that since it was my first time there, I didn't have to wash the dishes, and I didn't have to do any housework. The housekeeper did all the work by herself."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Liwan was so angry that she wanted Yao Ruofu to just marry him; she was truly beyond redemption.

"Can't you see they're using PUA tactics, saying you don't need to pay since it's your first time visiting?! And that family is doing all the housework on the day their daughter-in-law visits—either they're trying to get rid of her, or they're implying that this will be your daily life after you marry into the Song family! You simple-minded person, do you really think they care about you? Take care of you? That beer bottle is just sitting there grinning like an idiot!"

Yao Ruofu was speechless, and her previously excited expression slowly drooped: "That's his mother, not his idea. Besides, he said that I'll have all those material things in the future, and he'll buy them for me."

Zhou Liwan was furious at her lack of self-respect: "In the future? What future? It's just that after you two get married, he'll use your money to buy you things! If you only care about him, there are so many men in this world who could be good to you, why did you choose that gigolo?"

Xu Zimu finally understood. He lazily glanced at Yao Ruofu, who was bowing her head and remaining silent, with his narrow phoenix eyes: "I really didn't expect that the daughter of the biggest real estate tycoon in City A would have such poor taste."

Although Yao Ruofu wasn't angry with Zhou Liwan, it didn't mean she wouldn't care what anyone said about her. She stuck out her neck and shouted at Xu Zimu, "What's it to you? Humph!"

Xu Zimu chuckled lightly: "It's none of my business. If you're willing to be taken advantage of, that's your own business."
