Luo Bei barely knows this person, and she said to come and chat with her, but what are they going to talk about?

Before Luo Bei could express her confusion, the girl said, “I’m a friend and colleague of Jiang Sihan. I need to talk to you about something, but it won’t take too long.”

Xiao Jiang’s friend? Luo Bei doesn’t think she’s heard Xiao Jiang mention such a friend before.

Luo Bei is even more puzzled now, but since the other party has come all this way and is a young girl, she doesn’t want to refuse directly. So, she points to the desserts store in front of them and says, “Alright, let’s go to the desserts store. It’s a good place to chat.”

Zhou Jianguo thinks to himself that he has a sharp eye for people. He wonders if this girl has fallen for Jiang Sihan and is here to show off after getting rebuffed by him. Or maybe she works at Xiao Jiang’s company and thinks that he’s in a relationship, so she’s trying to persuade Luo Bei to leave Xiao Jiang?

Regardless of which one it is, it has nothing to do with him. He doesn’t need to follow along. Besides, he believes that Luo Bei’s current ability is more than enough to handle this girl. He doesn’t need to worry too much. If Luo Bei can’t solve even this kind of thing, then how can she do business? He knows that doing business is the easiest way to encounter troublemakers.

Zhou Jianguo tactfully says, “Then I’ll go back first.”

Luo Bei nods and says, “Okay, don’t forget to come over for dinner at my house tonight. My Grandma made dumplings.”

A few days ago, she casually said she wanted to eat dumplings, and her grandmother immediately started preparing them. She made too many and couldn’t finish them, so she invited Zhou Jianguo to join them.

“Okay.”

After Zhou Jianguo swiped his card and entered the building, Luo Bei took this girl to a desserts shop. There weren’t many people at this time of day, so Luo Bei ordered a cup of grass jelly while the girl didn’t order anything.

“Let me introduce myself, I’m Yu Wei, the ‘Yu’ in ‘melancholy,’ and the ‘Wei’ with the character for grass.” Yu Wei was very pretty, and her makeup was exquisite. She played with her sunglasses and said, “Actually, I’m not here for anything else today but to talk to you about Ah Han’s life and future.”

Ah Han…

At first, Luo Bei didn’t realize she was talking about Jiang Sihan because people here referred to him as Xiao Jiang.

Xiao Jiang’s life and future?

Talk to Luo Bei?

Luo Bei was a bit confused and asked, “And then what?”

Yu Wei tried to maintain a calm attitude because she thought Luo Bei was also a girl, and why should one girl make things difficult for another? So she slowly analyzed it for her. “Do you know that Shi Chuan deliberately put pressure on Ah Han on the set? Actually, Shi Chuan only became popular in the past year or two and doesn’t have much of a foundation. But even so, if he wants to target Ah Han, it’s very easy for him. He doesn’t even have to take action. As long as he casually expresses dissatisfaction with Ah Han to others, many people will help him vent their anger. In that case, Ah Han’s life won’t be easy.”

Luo Bei was very puzzled about why Yu Wei was telling her this. She said tactfully, “I’ve heard Xiao Jiang talk about it, but he knows how to handle it.”

Yu Wei nodded, “Xiao Jiang is a very patient person, so he will succeed. I know he will stand at the top of this circle and make everyone look up to him. But he still needs someone to help him, Miss Luo, do you think you can be that person?”

Luo Bei’s expression at the moment was a black question mark, “I’m sorry, Miss Yu, I don’t understand what you mean.”

Yu Wei thought she had been clear enough, and initially thought Luo Bei was pretending, but upon closer inspection of her expression, she felt that Luo Bei really didn’t understand and wasn’t pretending.

“Well, then I’ll be direct with you, Miss Luo. From a woman’s perspective, I think you’re a very good girlfriend – young, beautiful, and gentle. But I think I’m more suitable to be his girlfriend. I can help him, with me by his side, Shi Chuan won’t dare to do anything to him, and I will also find very good resources for him to succeed earlier.” Yu Wei looked at Luo Bei’s dumbfounded expression and felt a little sorry for her, adding, “Miss Luo, you are not part of this circle and you don’t understand how cunning and treacherous the people inside can be. They compete and fight with each other. Ah Han probably won’t tell you, he’s afraid you’ll worry. Actually, I know it’s very inappropriate for me to come to you today and say this, but I want to try hard for my own feelings, because I really like him.”

Luo Bei understood when she heard this.

So this Miss Yu likes Xiao Jiang and seems to have misunderstood her relationship with Xiao Jiang?

Initially, Luo Bei was going to explain and tell this Miss Yu that she and Xiao Jiang were just good friends, but when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she thought, could this misunderstanding have been intentionally caused by Xiao Jiang?

Luo Bei believed she knew Jiang Sihan quite well. He was almost a blank slate in terms of relationships, with no experience. He wasn’t good at rejecting others, and this Miss Yu seemed a bit assertive. Xiao Jiang didn’t know what to do, so he just told her he already had a girlfriend? Upon further thought, this didn’t seem impossible.

If that’s the case, does she still need to explain to Miss Yu?

She doesn’t think so. However it looks, she’s closer to Xiao Jiang. She should ask him about the situation before explaining anything to Miss Yu.

Luo Bei stayed silent, taking it as a default.

Yu Wei sighed and began persuading step by step, “Ah Han doesn’t know I came to find you today, Miss Luo. Do you know how I fell in love with him? One time I went to visit the set as my friend was an actress there. I went to the wrong place and heard someone singing. I approached and saw Ah Han playing the guitar. To be honest, I was struck by him. Later, I used my connections to get to know him and invited his agent to dinner. The more I got to know him, the more I liked him.

“I’m a very stubborn person, and I’ve always known this about myself. Of course, it’s also related to my family. Everyone spoils me and indulges me, to the point where I’ve developed a personality where if I like something, I have to have it. ” Yu Wei laughed. “I know this makes me very unlikable. Ah Han doesn’t really like me, but what does that matter? I can’t change my personality. I know I like him, I love him. So I try my best to be with him, to become the person standing by his side. What’s wrong with that?”

After hearing this, Luo Bei didn’t know what to say.

She thought for a moment, and if what Yu Wei said was true and Xiao Jiang didn’t like her and had given her the wrong impression of their relationship, then as Xiao Jiang’s friend, she couldn’t just stay silent.

Luo Bei organized her thoughts and spoke up, “Miss Yu, I think your thinking is a bit extreme. You say if you like something, you have to have it. Honestly, as women, I envy your confidence and assertiveness, but, how can I say this, Xiao Jiang isn’t an object, he’s a person with his own emotions. From what I know of Xiao Jiang, he’s not someone who will compromise his feelings just because someone brings him career success. He’s not a pushover, sorry to use such a word, he’s very talented. I believe he wouldn’t compromise his feelings for anyone’s career assistance.

“Today, whether I’m Xiao Jiang’s girlfriend or not, I don’t think you have any right to say these things to me. Why? Because you can help him and I can’t? So what should I do?” Luo Bei smiled. “Should I break up with him immediately for the sake of his future and career? Miss Yu, your relationship with Xiao Jiang and your future together have nothing to do with me being his girlfriend. It’s one thing between you and Xiao Jiang and another thing between Xiao Jiang and me. If he tells me today that I’m holding him back, I’ll leave immediately without hesitation. But the person who told me these things today is an irrelevant person, so why should I care?”

Yu Wei did not get angry, instead she looked at Luo Bei appreciatively and said, “Ah, now I know why Ah Han likes you. You have good logical thinking and a way with words.”

“So, Miss Yu, my suggestion to you is, if you really like Xiao Jiang, then use your own way to win him over, rather than pressuring another woman,” Luo Bei said after taking a spoonful of grass jelly, “What do you think? And I don’t think that forcing another woman out in this way will bring you any sense of achievement. After all, if Xiao Jiang wants to be with someone, it’s his choice, isn’t it?”

Yu Wei smiled, “You’re right. If I needed to use these methods to get you away from Ah Han or to attract this man with my wealth, then I would indeed be a failure as a woman. I am confident that I can make him like me.”

Luo Bei nodded, “Exactly, don’t treat him like an object. He’s not a toy that you can just buy.”

Yù Wēi stood up and said to Luo Bei, “Miss Luo, if Ah Han really breaks up with you someday, I think you’ll be the type to quickly pick yourself back up. You’re a bit cool, and I like that.”

Luo Bei : “……”

“If you do break up, let me know, and I’ll take you out to relax,” Yu Wei left her business card, picked up her purse, and left the dessert shop.

Luo Bei stared at the grass jelly in front of her and somehow felt like laughing.

Hmm, it’s a bit of a shame. If Miss Yu could have pulled out a five million check to make her leave, that would have made for a great story to tell forever.
