The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise Novel - Chapter 463
Chapter 463: Who Is Siren – 3
Gu Min caught up to Fu Zhi in a shadowed lane.
He had thrown the bouquet of roses away. Right now, he was wearing a sincere yet casual expression on his face. “Fu Zhi, I truly love you from the bottom of my heart. I’m not messing with you.”
Three of them looked at each other quietly.
Ye Jiu had been in a bad mood ever since he heard what Mu Chenxi had said about Fu Zhi. Right now, although he looked as if he was very calm when Gu Min confessed to his underaged sister before his very eyes, in reality, he was so angry that he could kill a cow with a punch right now.
“You love her? Why don’t you take a mirror and look at yourself first?” Ye Jiu snarled, “You’ve only seen her for a few times, and you told me that you truly love her from the bottom of your heart? Are you kidding me? Let me tell you something, son. Never ever try to flirt with a girl in front of her brother. Besides, you won’t have the right to inherit her properties after she dies even if you become her husband in the future. I’m the one and only, the sole inheritor of her properties and assets, so save your breath!”
Gu Min did not expect Ye Jiu to have such a big reaction at all. He kept recoiling as he said, “No. You’ve misunderstood me. I’m rich, and this bank card is a little token from me.”
The bank card glinted under the sun.
Rich people loved to settle their problems with money. Ye Jiu waved his arm and slapped Gu Min’s shoulder, “Do you think that money is the panacea to everything? Do you think that money can buy everything? Can money buy you love?”
“I didn’t…” Gu Min muttered.
“You didn’t?” Ye Jiu parroted as he raised his arm once again. Gu Min tried to dodge but to no avail, for Ye Jiu had cut off all his retreat routes. Just when he gulped nervously and tried to explain, he heard Ye Jiu saying, “Be more confident with yourself, brother. For me, there’s nothing in this world that money can’t buy!”
Gu Min was speechless.
Since Gu Min was not here to take advantage of them, Ye Jiu’s attitude changed. He was grinning from ear to ear and his eyes were glowing bright like two diamonds. “You want Zhizhi to be your girlfriend, brother? Of course! It’s not a problem at all! All you have to do is say it out loud!”
The grin on his face was getting wider with each passing second, but Gu Min did not have a good feeling about it. He looked at Ye Jiu doubtfully and said, “We’re both men, so can you stop acting like this? May I know who you are?”
“I’m Zhizhi’s brother,” Ye Jiu replied warmly. Then, he added, “Her biological brother.”
Fu Zhi chimed in, “I don’t have a brother like him.”
Ye Jiu grabbed Fu Zhi by the back of her collar and grinned at Gu Min. “Well, she had an accident last night, so she’s having selective amnesia these few days.”
“… Okay.”
Now that they had cleared up the misunderstanding, Gu Min handed the bank card to Fu Zhi and said carefully, “There… There are 100,000 yuan inside the card.”
Ye Jiu was stunned.
Perhaps his appetite had become bigger after Huo Ningxin’s incident, Ye Jiu just wanted to comment “this is all you’ve got?” after he heard that there was only 100,000 yuan inside Gu Min’s bank card.
The smile on his face went away instantly. He pushed Fu Zhi to his back and said expressionlessly, “Falling in love at an early age is not a good thing. Besides, my sister loves someone else. He’s richer than you and more handsome than you. Forced love does not last, so let’s just forget about it.”
Well, Gu Min did not know if a forced love would last or not, he just wanted to date Fu Zhi right now. He pulled another bank card from his pocket and said, “Brother, there is 500,000 yuan in this bank card. If you still think it’s less, then you can take it as a down payment. I will pay you the rest later.”
“Money is not the main issue, it’s just that…” Ye Jiu snatched the bank card away and stashed it in his pocket. Then, he offered Gu Min a grin and continued righteously, “Anyway, just forget about the thing I said just now. Falling in love at an early age is not a bad thing at all. For the sake of pure and beautiful love, and for the sake of freedom, I give you two the permission to date each other!”
Gu Min was getting pumped up. Before Ye Jiu gave two of them a private space, he pulled Fu Zhi to one side and said, “No matter how good the Gu Family is, they are still very far behind from the Li Family. Remember, your goal is to become the daughter-in-law of the Li Family. Don’t settle down for the smaller fish when the bigger fish is within reach, you get me?”
“I don’t want to be a seductress,” Fu Zhi replied, her voice flat.
Ye Jiu had read and watched plenty of novels and dramas. When he heard what Fu Zhi had said, he frowned and said, “What’s wrong with being a seductress? You have to keep it in mind that a girl who doesn’t have a troop of boyfriends is not a successful girl!
“It’s such a shame that no rich woman likes a perfect little boy like me, sigh!”
Fu Zhi did not know what to comment at all.
Ye Jiu ran away after he got the money. Fu Zhi did not have the mood to entertain Gu Min at all. Just when she was thinking about how to get away from Gu Min, a man wearing a black trench coat appeared in her vision.
Truth be told, this was one of the few times in Raptor’s life that he had met his Waterloo.
No matter how much he did not want to admit it, Fu Zhi was the one who fixed the computer and he knew better than anyone else.
He could not accept the fact that he, a professional hacker, would lose to someone ordinary like Fu Zhi.
This could become the demon in Raptor’s heart, and it could be detrimental to the development of his future career.
He thought for a long while, and he found that there was only one way he could defeat the demon in his heart—Have a fair and square match with Fu Zhi.
If he could defeat Fu Zhi and prove that he was better than her, he would not be troubled by the inexplicable sense of inferiority when he picked up the keyboard again.
When he was a few steps away from Fu Zhi, he turned to Gu Min and frowned, “Fu Zhi, I have something to talk to you about. It won’t take you too much time. I will give you money if you come with me, and you will still have the time to come back and continue your date with your boyfriend.”
“Have you heard of the phrase “a day away from a dear one is like three seasons” before?” Gu Min said to Fu Zhi as he clutched at her bag, “No matter how much he pays you, I will pay you back double.”
Fu Zhi looked at Gu Min, and then at Raptor. She just felt that both of them were extremely annoying.
Raptor was going to leave Yu City after he finished his job here. He was not going to come back to Yu City anymore, so this was the only chance for him to regain his confidence. That’s why he was so eager to look for Fu Zhi now.
He patted his computer and said, “What do you think, Fu Zhi? Come and have a programming contest with me. I’m willing to put the honor of the 10th seat of the Hacker Alliance on the line. After the competition, I will not bother you anymore.”
“The Hacker Alliance?” Gu Min was shocked. He knew that everyone in the Hacker Alliance was a monster and there was no way Fu Zhi could defeat him. As such, he turned to Fu Zhi and said, “Don’t say yes. There’s no way you can defeat him. It will only be a waste of time!”
Raptor lifted his chin and continued, “My skills are beyond all doubts, so it’s normal for you to be scared. However, there’s a second option as well. If you admit that you’re not as good as me, I see no reason for us to continue the competition anymore.”
Fu Zhi did not say anything in return. She opened up her bag and pulled out the name tag that read “Director of Psychiatry of No.1 Hospital, Fu Zhi” that she made herself several days ago.
She put the name tag below her school batch, stretched her hand towards Raptor, and said, “Nice to meet you, mister. According to my diagnosis, you should eat whatever you want. After all, your illness is incurable.”
Raptor was speechless and his face turned red in anger.
Since he came to her and asked for humiliation, Fu Zhi had no other choice but to grant him his wish.
Gu Min was still trying to stop Fu Zhi. “Do you really want to have a match with him?”
“Nope,” Fu Zhi said, “I just want to show him that there are a lot of other things in this world that’s better than the internet.”
Gu Min was stumped, and he started to wonder if Fu Zhi had gone out of her mind.
Since they had a computer room in No.1 High School, Fu Zhi led Raptor there.
