The Landlady and The Amnesiac

57

Zhou Jianguo is not really angry, he just finds it amusing.

These people underestimated his tolerance. Even if he were really being supported by Luo Bei as a young and handsome man, he still wouldn’t have a reason to be upset. These days, even being a “little white face”1refers to young and handsome boy who is “supported” (negative connotation) of by a wealthy woman requires a level of professionalism, and the so-called male pride is really laughable.

If he really could rely on his appearance to get a young and beautiful woman to willingly give him a house and a car…well, that would be a pretty good feeling, wouldn’t it?

But since these people deliberately said these sour words in front of him, he naturally won’t disappoint them and continues to smile and say, “Speaking of which, I feel very lucky to have such a good girlfriend who doesn’t mind that I have no education, make little money, and have a less-than-glamorous job. When I think about it, she just likes me for who I am. Hey, Xiao Liu and Xiao Xiào, you guys are still young, unlike me. You’ve found suitable partners so early in life, so you should work hard and earn more money. Unlike Brother Yang, who is already in his thirties and still has no partner, but he has a good skill, right?”

Brother Yang : “……”

Zhou Jianguo was teasing these people in various ways until they left the rest area, then he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Luo Bei, “My colleagues all say you’re young, beautiful and rich, a perfect example of a ‘Bai Fu Mei’2refers to a woman who is fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful. How does that make you feel?”

Luo Bei quickly replied, “Why are they mentioning me out of nowhere?”

Zhou Jianguo is not a coy person, so he briefly told her about what had happened just now and proudly said, “Being envied by others really makes me feel refreshed!”

If it were someone else, Luo Bei would certainly be worried, but in Zhou Jianguo’s case, she was not worried at all that he would be affected by any negative feelings.

Although Zhou Jianguo is obsessed with making money, she knows that he is not one to be bothered by trivial matters.

He has an extraordinary mental toughness, which is evident from his experiences. Luo Bei thought for a moment that if the same thing happened to her, she would not be able to handle it to the same degree as Zhou Jianguo.

He is confident, unflappable, and resilient, and Luo Bei has been curious more than once about what kind of person he was in the past and what kind of life environment he was in.

“These days, there are very few people who can completely ignore the opinions and evaluations of others. Each one is a strong person.” Luo Bei sent him this message.

In the cramped rest room, Zhou Jianguo suddenly felt a warmth in his chest when he saw this message.

A person like him who has no past, only the present, and only she understands him. This feeling…how to put it, makes him feel a bit shy.

Yes, Zhou Jianguo originally thought that words like “shy” would have nothing to do with him in this lifetime.

He often speaks eloquently, but at this moment, if Luo Bei were in front of him, he would probably stutter.

Not knowing how to respond to her praise, but feeling secretly happy inside because of her words.

In the end, he could only intentionally put on an air of pride, casually replying with a “thank you.”

Luo Bei replied with a grinning emoji, and Zhou Jianguo thought he was hallucinating. Through this silly expression, he seemed to have seen her.

Yu Wei originally thought Jiang Sihan would take the initiative to come find her. After all, she went to see his girlfriend and said those things. Unfortunately, he didn’t show up at all. A week passed, and she couldn’t hold back any longer. She drove to Jiang Sihan’s company, and even the receptionist knew she was chasing after him.
