Chapter 54: Big Sister Isn't a Foolish Sweetheart

Lisa's feelings towards Cheng Daqi could be described as extremely complicated.

There are many ways for one person to get to know another.

But Lisa was certain that her way of getting to know Cheng Daqi was unique.

A homeless man she had never met before approached her with a proposition and a threat, and she, confused and threatened, agreed without much thought.

It started off rough, but the process was full of surprises.

Cheng Daqi's professionalism and reliability left a deep impression on her.

Later, they even chatted a lot on social media, discussing topics like how to cater to LGBTQ+ customers.

Then came the time when Cheng Daqi asked her for help, hoping she could assist with getting a credit card.

After that "unprecedented and unforgettable" meal, Lisa had been wondering if she had been drugged by Cheng Daqi, as she had actually agreed to help him.

She would never forget that afternoon, that restaurant, and the intense stares from everyone present.

However, with his sincerity and systematic "little bits of help," Cheng Daqi managed to impress Lisa in the car, making her truly consider him a friend.

The blonde girl always remembered Cheng Daqi's words.

Not the ones praising her beauty, nor the ones praising her kindness.

"He's someone who crossed the ocean to pursue his ideals, a great person."

Lisa's voice was soft but firm, though she couldn't help adding in her mind:

"And also a damn auto mechanic."

Twirling her black hair between her fingers, Teemil looked at her friend with a playful expression.

"A great person? What's his profession, a pilot?"

"No!"

"A scientist?"

"No!"

"A musician?"

"No!"

"A doctor?"

"No!"

"A lawyer?"

It's not that Lisa didn't want to say more; she just didn't know how to begin.

She couldn't tell her friend that the person she was referring to was a homeless man, could she?

Though it was a fact, Lisa couldn't see Cheng Daqi as belonging to the same category as those homeless people on the streets.

"We shouldn't define a person's worth by their profession or status. His occupation has nothing to do with who he is as a person. When you became friends with me, I was just a student. Did it affect your opinion of me?"

Reasonable, logical, Lisa's argument was exemplary.

Another person might have believed her words, but the savvy rich girl knew her friend too well.

Having experienced all kinds of men as a top-tier rich girl, Teemil already had some suspicions based on her friend's behavior.

Her silent vow was to experience this guy's charm thoroughly to see what made Lisa bloom for him! And then chop him up and throw him into a lake in Missouri.

Teemil stared ahead, contemplating how to rescue her friend from the clutches of a swindler.

She didn't answer Lisa's question, as in her view, her friend's infatuation was just a brave attempt at love for the first time, and she had gotten carried away with love.

Back in college, Lisa had liked many guys, but she had never taken action.

She never thought her first boyfriend would turn out to be a swindler.

Poor kid, oh goose~ goose~ goose~ goose~

The rich girl seemed to remember something amusing and suddenly burst into laughter.

A goose call suddenly sounded from the passenger seat, startling Lisa so much she almost lost her grip on the steering wheel.

Giving her friend a sideways glance, she regretted knowing such a person.

"Alright, just that gray hoodie and the green bomber jacket, the brown sneakers, and the two pairs of jeans we picked earlier."

With the clothes confirmed with Sani, Cheng Daqi put down his phone wearily, feeling much better than when he first woke up in the morning.

On one hand, the painkillers had eased his pain, and on the other hand, drinking plenty of water had replenished the dehydration caused by the fever.

The poor auto mechanic still had no idea.

Although he hadn't done anything, he had been put on a hit list by a Missouri girl.

And it was the kind of death where you were raped first.

Lisa's red Tesla drove past Red Street, drawing curious glances from the homeless people on the street.

Teemil looked at the captivating scenery on both sides of the street with confusion.

She couldn't understand why Lisa had brought her here.

Did her scammer boyfriend live in this kind of neighborhood?

Teemil didn't have the heart to ask; she had just figured out how to make the scammer disappear, so Lisa couldn't find him again.

If her boyfriend suddenly disappeared and Lisa found out she had been deceived, then

This was Teemil's two birds, one stone plan.

As for how to make the scammer disappear, she had plenty of methods.

"Honey, don't tell me your interesting friend lives here."

Although she had suspicions, the wealthy girl wanted to hear Lisa's explanation and see how her lovestruck friend would respond.

"No, he doesn't live here. It's just that he has to, how should I put it? He's a homeless man, living in the nearby park."

Lisa genuinely hoped that her wealthy friend could help Chen Daqi find a job, but she didn't know how to broach the subject. Even though she had come to consider Chen Daqi as her friend, his status made it difficult for people not to have biases.

The blonde heiress didn't want Teemil to look down on Chen Daqi because of his status.

"But he's a really outstanding person. He had to resort to illegal means to come here, and that's why he's in this situation."

"You're involved with a homeless man? Are you out of your mind, honey? You won't even let me touch your ***, but you're hanging out with a homeless man!"

"No! What are you talking about? He and I are friends, just like you and I are. I told you, we can't define a person's goodness or badness based on their job or status!"

Lisa countered softly, feeling somewhat powerless. Chen Daqi was too extraordinary for her to ever look down on him because of his status. But his status was too low for her to know how to explain it to Teemil.

As Lisa watched the homeless people wandering the streets of Red Street, she suddenly had an idea of how to introduce Chen Daqi.

"Do you remember the 'Perfume Equality' event we did in San Lodo last time? The success of that event in the media was all thanks to him."

Lisa's explanation didn't dispel Teemil's confusion; instead, the wealthy woman was even more puzzled.

First, her boyfriend turned into a homeless friend, which was worse than having a dishonest boyfriend!

Then it was tied to the 'Perfume Equality' promotional event, with the success of the event attributed to a homeless man.

She suspected that Lisa was being mentally manipulated!

It wasn't that the heiress was overly cautious; it was just that there were too many talented people in the United States.

"Well, he does sound impressive. Okay, let's go meet your friend now."

Without arguing with Lisa, the raven-haired heiress smiled sweetly and agreed. She opened her phone and contacted the bodyguard who had accompanied her to San Lodo.

First, she sent an address, pinpointing Red Street, then followed it with "Come quickly."

Big sisters aren't just cute and naive!
