Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but say angrily, "Do you think this is a place where you can just come and go as you please? Lin Qingxue, don't you know I'm interested in you? I knew it. Why did you suddenly start carrying designer bags? Turns out you've got a boyfriend?"
"If you wanted these bags, I could have given them to you too. You just had to say so. Why have you suddenly hopped into someone else's car?"
Lin Qingxue immediately blew up upon hearing this. "I don't like what you're saying. Whose car I sit in is none of your business! Besides, I've never even sat in your car, have I?"
"Why won't you sit in my car? Because my car isn't a Supercar? Just say it! I can buy one..."
The man's non-sequitur left Lin Qingxue momentarily stunned.
After a two-second pause, she said speechlessly, "No... what are you even talking about? I'm in a hurry right now and don't have time to waste with you. Besides, it feels like we're not even on the same wavelength. I told you before, and you agreed we could just be ordinary friends."
The middle-aged man remained persistent. "Why did you suddenly start dating? And since you're dating, why can't you date me? What's wrong with me? I can give you everything he can give you!"
At this point, not just Lin Qingxue, but even Jiang Cheng, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but be caught between laughter and tears.
One could only say that this guy's mental state was quite unique.
Lin Qingxue sighed and said, "Uncle Dai Yu, I don't have feelings for you, and we're not a good match. You're thirty-two, and I'm only eighteen. There's a generation gap between us."
"Nonsense! Many of the young girls who come to our shop for milk tea can't tell I'm thirty-two. Besides, it's only a twelve-year difference; what kind of gap could there be? I like the things young people like too..."
"Let me leave. I really don't have time to argue with you. You can see there are no customers today. If you keep this up, I won't come back for my part-time job anymore."
"No way! If you don't give me a clear explanation today, don't even think about leaving!"
"Are you sick? What is there to talk about between us besides work and my salary? What do I need to explain to you? If you keep this up, I'm calling for help!"
After saying this, Lin Qingxue reached out and pushed Dai Yu.
Seeing that Dai Yu was still reaching out to block Lin Qingxue from leaving, Jiang Cheng walked straight up and shielded Lin Qingxue behind him.
"Baby, did it take this long to get your bag because you ran into a fly?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng suddenly appear, Lin Qingxue hid behind him and explained, "Jiang Cheng, I..."
Dai Yu didn't give Lin Qingxue a chance to explain. Instead, he immediately said to Jiang Cheng, "So you're Qingxue's new little boyfriend?"
"Dai Yu, don't talk nonsense. Jiang Cheng is my first boyfriend, not some 'new' one..."
"Qingxue, of course I know you're not a loose girl. That's why I respected you and have been waiting for you, giving you time... But how could you turn around and get a new boyfriend?"
Dai Yu's strange logic left Lin Qingxue unable to respond for a moment.
Her relationship with Dai Yu had always been just boss and employee.
Usually, besides being a bit more caring, Dai Yu had no extra contact with her.
It was just that he had immediately lost control after seeing her get out of Jiang Cheng's car.
He kept questioning why she had to get a boyfriend.
And the things he said were nonsensical and a mess, making Lin Qingxue panic for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
The main reason Lin Qingxue was panicking was that she was afraid Jiang Cheng, who was outside, would misunderstand their relationship.
If Jiang Cheng were to look down on her because of this, what would happen to her mother's illness?
Lin Qingxue immediately explained again, "Jiang Cheng, I really have no relationship with him. He confessed to me once, but I didn't accept. After that, Dai Yu didn't behave unusually toward me anymore, which is why I kept working part-time here..."
Seeing Lin Qingxue's anxious look, as if she were about to cry, Jiang Cheng squeezed her palm to reassure her.
With the Mind Perception Skill, no lie could be hidden from Jiang Cheng.
So, what Lin Qingxue said was naturally the truth.
"Qingxue, I always thought you were an independent and strong woman, which is why you rejected my pursuit. For that, I've always respected you. However, I don't agree with you being with him. What use is this stinky little brother? He's too young, likely to be half-hearted, and with a face like that, he's clearly a scumbag!"
Being attacked for no reason, Jiang Cheng looked at Dai Yu with cold eyes. "You're missing a few brain folds, aren't you? Did you glitch into the human world??"
Dai Yu didn't immediately realize Jiang Cheng was insulting him, but seeing Jiang Cheng's expression, he knew it wasn't a compliment.
Dai Yu's face immediately filled with resentment as he said, "Kid, what did you say?? Say that again if you've got the guts!"
"I'm asking if you're looking for a beating. If your reading comprehension is that bad, go back to school for a few more years. Stop giving non-sequitur answers."
"Hmph, young people are so crude. Aside from threatening to hit people, what else can you do? Do you really think you're someone special just because you drive a Supercar?? You probably snuck it out from your family, right?? Do you really think buying a few bags for a Little Girl while driving a Supercar makes you amazing? Let me tell you, a real man is judged by his true strength."
"Look at this shop of mine. The franchise fee for this brand alone was eight hundred thousand, the rent is two hundred thousand a year! Plus five hundred thousand for renovations! This shop cost one and a half million, and I have five shops like this! Tell me, what can you give Qingxue?"
After Dai Yu flexed his muscles in front of Jiang Cheng, he originally thought Jiang Cheng would feel inferior.
To his surprise, after hearing this, Jiang Cheng just smiled faintly and picked up his phone to start making a call...
