Who Parked Their Car Here, It's Blocking the Way!

"Hello, auntie, may I ask if Lu Yuan stays here?"

"Ah, hello, hello. You are..."

"I'm Lu Yuan's friend."

"Huh? Lu Yuan isn't at home right now. Do you want to take a seat? Should I give Lu Yuan a call?"

"There's no need. Lu Yuan is in the county, right?"

"Ah, that's right. But he might be busy now..."

"Is he at a matchmaking session?"

"Yes, ah! How did you know that?"

"Lu Yuan said it himself. Auntie, then I'll head to the county to take a walk around. I'll come back to visit later."

"Oh, oh, why don't you stay for a meal first... I'll give Lu Yuan a call."

"Auntie, there's no need for that. I've already eaten."

.........

The cafe's interior looked a little old.

It wasn't comparable to 'Meeting You' cafe at all.

This place had a strange smell, as if there was a hint of moldiness. Lu Yuan didn't feel that the coffee tasted right either.

The sunlight shone in through the window, casting onto the girl's slightly arrogant face. It gave off such a contrast in vibe.

Lu Yuan pushed up his spectacles and broke into a smile that had a hint of naiveness in it. He didn't seem displeased at all.

"You're called Lu Yuan?"

"En, that's right. Are you Liu Yu?"

"Lu Yuan, you should know about my family background, right?" Liu Yu didn't answer Lu Yuan. Instead, her lips curled up slightly, giving off a slightly dignified vibe. At the same time, Lu Yuan had the slight impression that she was looking down on him from a superior height.

People were different.

At the very least, she felt that people were different.

"En, you can say that." Lu Yuan nodded.

"Your looks are alright, being the type that can withstand repeated looks. Your appearance can be considered a pass somehow. Oh right, do you have a car?"

"Car... Not for now." Lu Yuan shook his head.

"Do you have a house?"

"I do. I have a one-level house in the countryside."

"Only has one level? Has it been renovated?"

"No. If there's a need for it in the future, I'll build up more stories." Liu Yu looked at Liu Yu and spoke gently, not seeming to feel angry from her compelling tone.

"Oh." After seeing Lu Yuan's serious expression, Liu Yu immediately shook her head slightly. She started to become a little impatient and then took a sip of the coffee.

Seeing that she had stopped talking, Lu Yuan also took a sip of his coffee patiently. This was despite the fact that he felt that the coffee's taste was getting increasingly weird, as if it wasn't authentic.

Could it be that this place was a fake cafe?

He didn't like such quiet moments. He wanted to smoke.

Therefore, he took out his cigarettes.

If it was in the past, Lu Yuan would at least act more reserved before girls. After all, she was his matchmaking partner, and first impressions were very important. However, at this moment, Lu Yuan didn't really want to conceal anything.

It could be that this was a matchmaking session where neither of them had a favorable impression of the other. There was no point in hiding anything.

"You smoke?"

"En, yes."

"You smoke this kind of cigarette?" When Liu Yu saw Lu Yuan taking out a packet of "Red Orchid" and lit one up, there was a hint of contempt in her gaze.

A packet of "Red Orchid" that cost eight dollars...

In her impression, only farmers smoked this kind of cigarette.

"That's right, what about it?" Lu Yuan lit up a cigarette and enjoyed a puff.

His mother had told him many times the previous night that he wasn't allowed to smoke. 

Therefore, Lu Yuan had held back on the impulse to smoke, toiling through the night, almost as if he had insomnia.

When he brushed his teeth the next day, he even took the effort to brush his teeth especially cleanly, trying to get rid of any cigarette scent.

All these efforts now seemed to be wasted.

There was no use.

"I don't like guys who smoke, especially guys who smoke this kind of cigarettes." Liu Yu no longer concealed her abhor toward Lu Yuan in her voice. She wanted to bring up the matter of one's disposition but held it in.

"Oh, I don't smoke a lot, just about half a packet per day. This cigarette isn't bad. The taste is good and the price isn't bad either." Lu Yuan shook his head.

"The person who introduced you to me said that you're an honest person, but you don't seem like that to me." Liu Yu shook her head and moved a little away from Lu Yuan, as if he was something disgusting.

She felt some repugnance toward Lu Yuan.

"It's true that I'm honest. At least, I don't lie to others and what I say is all true." After finishing the cigarette, Lu Yuan put it out. He didn't take out a second one but appeared more serious now.

"How much savings do you have?" Liu Yu continued to ask Lu Yuan.

"Savings? I don't have much that I can use right now, but I'll have a lot in the future." Lu Yuan smiled.

"When would 'the future' be?"

"About a few days or a few months later," Lu Yuan replied.

"From your dressing, the cigarettes you smoke, as well as your disposition, do you think that I'll believe you?" Liu Yu continued to chat with Lu Yuan, but at the same time, felt greater impatience.

This guy was just a worker.

Even if she were looking for a backup, she couldn't possibly look for one like this.

"I'm a very sincere person." Lu Yuan shook his head and revealed a sincere expression. "So you should believe me."

"I heard that you're unemployed?"

"En, that's right. I'm not considered to have a stable job at the moment, but I'll be attempting entrepreneurship..." Lu Yuan nodded.

"My expectations aren't high. I want to look for a guy who is sincere and knows how to take care of others. Of course, the most basic conditions would be to have a house and a car. After all, I'm driving a BMW 3 Series at the moment, so my partner can't be someone who is too far off from my level. Do you understand?"

"En, I do." Lu Yuan continued to nod.

"My expenditure isn't high either. It'll be sufficient to just give me around $5,000 each month to buy cosmetic products. My partner must also be presentable, preferably having a stable job in the government sector. Of course, it'd be best if the person could start their own business, but the prerequisite would be to have savings... But judging from your looks, you'll need to take a loan to start up a business, right? If your business were to fail, a family like yours would need at least a few years to recover from the impact."

"En, theoretically speaking, this is the case."

"How many of my requirements can you meet?"

"How many do you feel that I can meet?" Lu Yuan asked her back.

"Although the middleman didn't say other things, I can tell that you don't possess any of my requirements. Your dressing isn't that good, your family condition isn't good, you have neither a car nor a house, and you don't have any savings either. The only thing I can see is that you're honest... But what rights do you think you have to come here and matchmake with me? Do you know how much a cup of authentic coffee costs in a big city?" There was strong contempt in Liu Yu's taunt, and her lips curled up slightly.

"I don't really understand. I don't drink a lot."

"You won't be able to earn enough to afford a cup of coffee."

"Haha." Lu Yuan fell silent as he looked at Liu Yu indifferently.

He gave off a strange look, as if he was looking at a clown.

He was being looked down on.

And she had utterly looked down on him, not saving him any face.

However, he didn't feel upset. It was because he knew that this girl wasn't someone good.

"Do you know how much this bangle of mine costs?"

"I don't."

"$30,000."

"Ok."

"Do you know how much my phone costs? $10,000."

"Ok."

"Do you know..." Liu Yu seemed to be unsatisfied with Lu Yuan's expression. She felt especially displeased after seeing the nonchalance in Lu Yuan's gaze.

This was completely different from how she imagined things to be.

In her imagination, Lu Yuan should be someone who would shamelessly curry up to her, being completely infatuated by her, listening to everything she said.

If that was the case, she might just agree to let Lu Yuan be her backup plan. After all, she was already three months into her pregnancy.

However, she realized that Lu Yuan had been looking at her with this gaze right from the beginning.

Therefore, she tried to deal blows onto him!

She wanted Lu Yuan to lower his head, feel inferior, and tremble.

(A pretense? Continue with your pretense! I shall see how long your pride can hold up for!)

Therefore, she flaunted her bag, bangle, and other valuable items in front of Lu Yuan.

"All my belongings would cost about $200,000 in total. Do you think that you have the rights to compete with me? Oh, right, there's a car as well, and it's parked outside. I'm sorry, we aren't compatible. We aren't people from the same world!" She pointed outside, wearing a sneering smile with an innate sense of superiority, as if she was looking at a worthless beggar.

"En, to be honest, I'm not really interested in these things, but I..."

After this girl had enough of showing off, Lu Yuan smiled calmly. He was about to reveal his financial capabilities to give her a non-literal slap in the face when a loud sound rang out.

"Boom!"

"Who parked their car here? Don't they know that the car must be parked in the parking lot? It's blocking the way!"

He was a little stunned after hearing the voice and unconsciously turned to look out of the window.

A pink Lamborghini collided into the BMW 3 Series, leaving a big dent in its door.

At this moment, a tall young lady wearing black shades walked out of the car, wearing an extremely cold expression.

"My car!" Liu Yu, who was indoors, had her eyes wide-open and dashed out of the cafe.

"..." Lu Yuan subconsciously looked at the young lady wearing shades and then rubbed his eyes.

(Did I see wrongly? Isn't that Wang Jinxue?) 

(What the hell?)

(What is she doing here?)
