Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 471 - 25: The Boss and the Secretary

In this world, there aren’t many people who sincerely hope you’re doing well. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

On the contrary, there are a lot of people waiting to see your jokes and drama.

Qu Fulan is well aware of this truth, which is why she always lives quietly.

Unfortunately, there are always some subtle twists of fate in this world; she never dreamed that her blind date would be Pan Yun’s cousin. If she had known, she definitely would have agreed to meet.

Now it’s too late to say anything, everyone who should and shouldn’t know is already aware.

She doesn’t even know if Yang Zhi has been spreading rumors about whether she’s a virgin. If he’s gossiping, that’s really vile.

Even so, Qu Fulan decides not to bring Pei Ji’an to the class reunion.

Although bringing him could give her some face, she just doesn’t want to do it in her heart.

On the other hand, Pan Yun has already arranged with her wealthy boyfriend to attend the reunion and even prepared clothes for the banquet ahead of time.

She was quite surprised to hear from Zhou Yao and Wu Hao that Qu Fulan also has a boyfriend.

Having rejected someone like her cousin, what kind of boyfriend could she possibly find?

Pan Yun admits that Qu Fulan is beautiful and has a good figure, but given her circumstances, she probably can’t find anyone decent. After all, rich people aren’t stupid; they might play around but would definitely marry someone with better conditions. Otherwise, it’s too exhausting to support the whole family after marriage, isn’t it?

To Pan Yun, encountering someone like her cousin and being even liked by him is already Qu Fulan’s blessing. Not cherishing it and refusing - it’s simply overestimating herself.

Well, she really wants to see what kind of boyfriend she can find.

But Zhou Yao and Wu Hao say that apparently, Qu Fulan isn’t planning to bring her boyfriend and claims she’s busy.

Pan Yun snorts, saying being busy is just an excuse. It definitely means she hasn’t found anyone good enough and is embarrassed to bring him to the reunion.

It’s thoroughly deserved; encountering something good and not cherishing it, and now realizing it would be embarrassing.

Though Pan Yun feels contempt in her heart, she still turns and tells her cousin about it.

Her cousin, whom Pan Yun repeatedly mentioned during high school, naturally has good conditions all around. Pan Yun even feels that Qu Fulan is unworthy of her cousin and is climbing too high.

Yet the result is that she refuses, which is simply ridiculous.

What leaves Pan Yun unable to laugh is that her cousin can’t seem to forget Qu Fulan, even mentioning her when drunk; otherwise, she wouldn’t have known about Qu Fulan’s blind date.

Her cousin hasn’t stopped drowning his sorrows with alcohol and, upon knowing they’re classmates, even attempted to have her help reconcile them.

Time and again, Pan Yun used the excuse that she isn’t close with Qu Fulan to fend him off, which is true—they graduated so many years ago and haven’t kept in contact.

But she cannot bear seeing her cousin drown himself in alcohol every day, so she’d counsel him that there’s plenty of fish in the sea; why focus on just one?

"She’s different; I’ve never met a woman who makes my heart move like her..." Yang Zhi said once again, drunk.

Pan Yun felt oddly uncomfortable upon seeing him; it was just for a woman, was it really necessary?

It’s not just Pan Yun feeling discomfort; Mrs. Yang also sympathized with her son.

Frankly speaking, what mother doesn’t think her child is the best in the world, to the point that no one is worthy? Now her proud son has been rejected by another; no mother would be pleased.

"Someday, you arrange a meeting so I can see what makes her so good," Mrs. Yang said to Pan Yun.

Mrs. Yang knows about the other woman’s circumstances; her family background is average. Even though she works at the Pei Family and seems quite capable, a woman’s primary role is still in managing a family and raising children, so what’s the point of being good at work?

In Mrs. Yang’s view, she believes the other woman is deliberately stringing her son along and fishing for bigger opportunities. Such a girl is fine for a fling, but not fit to marry.

Anyway, men are like this: they always miss what they haven’t had, and once they get it, they despise it.

The Yang Family has been doing well these past few years, and Pan Yun’s wealthy boyfriend met her through her aunt’s connections, so she can’t outright refuse her aunt’s request.

However, her relationship with Qu Fulan isn’t close either, and asking her out suddenly may not be welcomed.

"It might not be wise to suddenly ask her out, but in a few days we have a class reunion to celebrate Teacher Chen’s birthday. Aunt, you know Teacher Chen, so you could use the birthday as a reason to meet her then."

Mrs. Yang hadn’t had the chance to say anything before Yang Zhi caught onto the key point, "When’s the class reunion?"

Pan Yun mentioned a date, then nonchalantly glanced at her aunt and continued, "This reunion allows you to bring guests, and many people will bring their boyfriends. I heard that Qu Fulan also has a boyfriend but isn’t planning to bring him; I know her. If she had found a boyfriend with good conditions, she’d definitely want to show him off. Now that she’s not willing to bring him along, it means the boyfriend isn’t impressive. If my cousin shows up, perhaps she’ll regret it."

Pan Yun’s words clearly indicated that she didn’t want Qu Fulan and her cousin to end up together. Else, she wouldn’t have told her aunt that Qu Fulan has a boyfriend because no future mother-in-law wants to hear that the person her son likes has a boyfriend.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang frowned, "If she already has a boyfriend, what’s there to say?" But she swallowed these words.

Having a boyfriend, so what? She wasn’t planning on letting her son marry this type of woman anyway. Such a woman doesn’t know how to respect herself, gossiping everywhere—it’s not someone decent. Just let it be a fling.

Yang Zhi, however, couldn’t quite believe it, "She really has a boyfriend?"

"Absolutely true; she said so in front of her classmates. Those classmates even encouraged her to bring her boyfriend to the reunion, but she refused using the excuse that he was busy."

Yang Zhi’s heart was instantly filled with resentment. She’s so easy-going, plays the high ground in front of him, then turns around and finds a man with ordinary conditions!

Yang Zhi had once dated a girlfriend; he didn’t much like her at the time but needed companionship in loneliness. He wasn’t stingy with money either. Later, she cheated, finding someone with ordinary conditions. After he noticed, she accused him of being too busy and not accompanying her enough. She said she was a woman who needed a man’s thoughtful company.

Yang Zhi found it laughable then; women are indeed the greediest creatures, wanting both money and companionship.

At that time, he didn’t care much about that girlfriend, so it was okay to break up. But now, with Qu Fulan, it’s love at first sight, making the emotional investment inherently different.

He didn’t even mind that she wasn’t a virgin, yet she treated him like this, leaving Yang Zhi truly resentful.

When the time comes, he’ll let her see that a man without resources is like a sand pile blown away by the wind; after all, money remains the most reliable thing in this world.

It’s a pity that even if she wants to rely on him later, he wouldn’t care anymore.

The woman he wants to marry can have a poor background or low education, but she must be clean.
