Because the group chat had gotten too off-topic, Ji Ran was struggling to keep things under control, so she decided to end today’s lesson here.
“Sisters, no rush. I’ll cover the rest tomorrow. Tomorrow, I’ll tell you about that man’s daily habits, as well as his preferences and taboos when it comes to receiving gifts.”
Ji Ran was a very conscientious young lady who would never let their money go to waste!
However, after Ji Ran logged off, that “fxs” continued to chase her down with private messages, questioning her.
“Miss Ji, you’re openly running a class here and claim you can help me pursue a man. Do you have any relevant experience yourself?”
Ji Ran’s little face immediately scrunched up.
Come to think of it… she really didn’t.
She was the youngest daughter of the Ji Family, and with her good looks, men had always flocked around her since she was little. She had never suffered the pains of love.
Still, to ensure her client’s ten million wasn’t wasted, she had no choice but to lie: “Of course! Even though I just turned eighteen, I’m really good at pursuing boys!”
“I’ll tell you a secret—I started liking a little boy in fifth grade, then another in eighth grade, and I had a crush on someone else in ninth grade. I even had a boyfriend in tenth grade, and we didn’t break up until twelfth grade.”
Ji Ran spun a whole web of lies—wasn’t her love history rich enough?
But the other person!!
“So, Miss Ji, you’ve liked four boys, and one of them was a boyfriend you dated for three years?”
This “fxs” sounded somewhat broken and gritting their teeth.
“Yes.”
Ji Ran nodded vigorously.
Little did she know that these few sentences would send Fu Jingyuan into another rage in his office!
“Useless!”
“All of you, useless! She dated someone for three years right under my nose, and you didn’t know? How were you keeping an eye on her?”
The thought of Ji Ran secretly dating someone from tenth grade and lasting three years made him feel a sick, murderous rage.
Secretary Zhang trembled in fear.
But his people truly hadn’t noticed any signs of Ji Ran dating during high school.
Could it be that the young lady was a natural-born detective, carrying on an underground romance for three years?
“And she started liking little boys as early as fifth grade? This little thing, she’s really something!”
Fu Jingyuan had never been this angry before!
Meanwhile, Ji Ran on the other side of the screen remained completely unaware.
She even boasted excitedly: “Yes, sister! See, even though I’m young, I know a lot about that stuff. So don’t worry, I’m really good at understanding men’s psychology!”
“Impressive. You’re really impressive!”
Fu Jingyuan squeezed these words out through gritted teeth, his tone dark and gloomy.
Ji Ran took it as a compliment.
“Haha, thanks for the praise, sister! I’m a bit tired today, so I won’t chat anymore. I’m going to sleep now. Goodnight.”
Humming a tune, Ji Ran hung up the call.
Looking at the ten million balance in her account, she hummed her way into dreamland.
Hehe, Uncle Fu really sells well.
So valuable.
But Fu Jingyuan didn’t sleep a wink all night. With red eyes, he obsessively and morbidly pondered all night—what was he lacking?
Why did Ji Ran like four wild boys but not him?
All four of them deserved to die!
Especially the fourth one, who actually dared to date Ji Ran for three years.
“Secretary Zhang, investigate! I don’t care what methods you use—find out who that wild boy is who dated Ranran for three years!”
“Yes, President Fu.”
Secretary Zhang hurriedly complied respectfully, but being asked to investigate someone who didn’t exist at all was truly putting him in a difficult position.
All night long, Fu Jingyuan’s mind was filled with—
His Ranran had been in a relationship for three years…
Had they held hands, kissed, or even slept together?
And what about that time they slept together recently—was it with someone new from university, or that high school brat?
The moment Fu Jingyuan imagined Ji Ran being intimate with some other brat, he felt like he was going insane!
By the next day, when Secretary Zhang pushed open the door to the CEO’s office, he found Fu Jingyuan pacing back and forth inside, having stayed up all night.
“That restless little thing should be locked up!”
“I should forge a few more golden chains for her bed—four, no, eight! Let’s see if she still dares to date some brat!”
“Three whole years, huh… three years…”
Fu Jingyuan seemed trapped in this spiral, unable to break free.
When he saw Secretary Zhang, his expression turned even colder. “Where are the things I asked for? They should have arrived today.”
Secretary Zhang nervously brought over a box.
“Yes, President Fu, they’re here. Master Yi sent them over for you.”
For Ji Ran’s sake, Fu Jingyuan had even started seeking out things like talismans lately.
No one knew how much he had spent.
They were said to be Peach Blossom Talismans, meant to enhance one’s luck in love and make Ji Ran fall back in love with him.
“Be careful and cover the entire office with them!”
“Yes, President Fu.”
As Secretary Zhang pasted them up, he couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless. Anyone who didn’t know better would think Fu Jingyuan was some kind of villain!
Moreover, having such things plastered all over the office of the prestigious Fu family’s CEO in the capital felt utterly absurd.
“President Fu, perhaps you should stop paying attention to Miss Ranran’s group chat these days.”
“Could I keep an eye on it for you instead?”
Secretary Zhang was also hoping Fu Jingyuan would divert some of his attention to the company’s affairs.
After all, the company’s profits included a small portion of his own bonus.
He was Fu Jingyuan’s ultimate career fan!
But Fu Jingyuan sneered, wanting to see just how many more surprises his Ji Ran could bring him!
…
On the other side, Ji Ran woke up early today because she had gone to bed early the night before.
It had to be said—blocking Fu Jingyuan was a great decision.
Now, no one would make her report what time she woke up or what she planned to do all day.
However, Ji Ran was still a student, and she had classes to attend today. Otherwise, if she missed too many, she wouldn’t be able to catch up.
She had a Criminal Law class in the afternoon.
As soon as she arrived at the classroom, she ran into her good friend from school, Xu Tongtong.
“Ranran, where have you been these past few days? I tried calling you, but you didn’t answer. I thought something had happened at home.”
Xu Tongtong was also a little princess of the Xu family. Although the Xu family was far from matching the Ji or Fu families, they were still a prominent second-tier family in the capital.
“I’ve been dealing with some things these past few days. Sorry, Tongtong, I didn’t have time to let you know.”
“As long as you’re okay! But you might not know—today’s class was supposed to be taught by Professor Huo Chubai, but he seems to have something going on and asked a friend to cover for him.”
A friend?
Ji Ran instinctively felt something was off.
She wasn’t very familiar with Huo Chubai, but Fu Jingyuan was a partner at a well-known law firm in the country. Could Huo Chubai have asked Fu Jingyuan to come teach the class?
Probably not.
Ji Ran thought Fu Jingyuan wasn’t the type to be so helpful.
Besides, he should be very busy.
“Right, definitely not.”
Ji Ran felt she was probably just too afraid of that man and overthinking things.
But when class began and Fu Jingyuan appeared at the podium, Xu Tongtong exclaimed in surprise, “Ranran, isn’t that the uncle who often comes to pick you up?”
