Chapter 6 Did You Recognize the Wrong Person?

Xu Ningxi was taken aback, "No, be serious, don't joke about this."

She pointed at Fu Hanzheng who was making a call nearby.

"Isn't that him?"

Ruan Tiantian looked over, and saw the man in a white shirt and neatly pressed black trousers, tall and straight.

Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, his sleeves slightly rolled up, revealing the perfect seductive lines of his forearms.

The sunlight shone on his handsome profile, making his facial features appear even more three-dimensional and exquisite...

With that kind of appearance, there really was no fault to find.

But the problem was, he wasn't the right person.

Ruan Tiantian started to freak out.

"Sis, I'm sure it's not him! Who did you find? This isn't the person I referred at all!"

Xu Ningxi was also confused.

"No, no, if he's not the person you found, then who could he be? He cooperated so well that night, and no one could find any fault with him. Would you find such a cooperative partner if no one paid?"

"If he's not the person you found, then who could he be?"

She had a series of questions.

Ruan Tiantian was in disarray.

"Wait, I'll call the person I found."

She quickly took out her cellphone and dialed a number.

Xu Ningxi walked toward Fu Hanzheng, "I'll go ask him."

If the two of them were going to be partners, it was always good to clarify things, at least to confirm the most basic identity information.

Fu Hanzheng had just finished his call.

He seemed to be in a good mood, the corners of his lips slightly curled up.

"Your friend has arrived?"

Xu Ningxi, facing the man much taller than herself, felt her heartbeat accelerate, probably due to nervousness.

If she really recognized the wrong person, how would she wrap this up?

Her speech tumbled around in her throat before she tried to speak.

"You... who are you, really?"

Fu Hanzheng's dark eyes narrowed slightly.

Did she already know his true identity?

Then she wasn't too foolish.

The curve of his lips deepened, he was about to speak.

Ruan Tiantian, anxious, rushed over and pulled Xu Ningxi away from Fu Hanzheng.

"No need to ask anymore, I know what's going on."

"That duck really deserves a beating, acting as a middleman; he didn't come himself, and got a colleague to take his place. This Fu Hanzheng is the stand-in colleague."

"These people in their line of work really know how to make money. He took a cut for himself; I'm so angry I could die, I just gave him a piece of my mind."

Xu Ningxi finally breathed a sigh of relief when the mystery was solved.

"It's fine if it's a colleague, at least now we know who we are dealing with."

"It's all right," Ruan Tiantian added, "he said the one who took the shift is a poor guy, really short on money, which is why he took the job. He asked us not to be too hard on him."

Xu Ningxi understood all too well why Fu Hanzheng would be short on money.

He was just too dedicated and loyal to that woman, and with a seriously ill elder at home, he had fallen on such hard times.

She sympathized, "It's not Fu Hanzheng's fault, he just did a job. It's also a connection between him and me, let it be. I'll treat you to wedding candies another day."

Ruan Tiantian's eyes widened in shock.

"Have you made up your mind to marry a gigolo and settle down? You have to think this through; you mustn't entrust yourself to a gigolo just to spite Gu Huai'an!"

She was so worried for her best friend, she felt like dying.

On her way to the civil affairs office, she learned from the call Xu Ningxi made to her that Gu Huai'an, that scumbag, finally showed his true colors. He'd even rolled in bed with Xu Ningxi's sister, Xu Huanyan.

Her best friend finally saw the true face of the scumbag. She was happy for less than a second before Xu Ningxi told her she'd casually picked a man to flash marry and was already on her way to the civil affairs office.

And the phone she was using, it belonged to the husband she was about to marry.

At that moment, she felt like she'd been hit with a muffled hammer.

She sped to the civil affairs office.

Xu Ningxi even told her she had married a gigolo.

This was simply a bolt from the blue.

From the looks of it, Xu Ningxi planned to live together with the gigolo.

Ruan Tiantian was utterly heartbroken.

"Sister, you really can't give up on yourself just like that. It's not worth it to lose yourself over someone like Gu Huai'an!"

But Xu Ningxi was very determined.

She earnestly told Ruan Tiantian.

"I'm not doing this out of spite, nor am I giving up on myself. Although Gu Huai'an played a part in this decision, he's not the main reason. However, it was Gu Huai'an who made me realize that a person's character and cultivation don't lie in how many books they've read or how sweetly they talk, but in what they actually do."

"Fu Hanzheng is more reliable than Gu Huai'an; I trust him. Marrying someone dependable is better than my dad selling me off to Lin Hao. This way, I cut off future troubles. Sister, believe in me, I will make sure to live my life well."

She wasn't timid or fearful about the unpredictable future. Instead, she was open, honest, and marched forward bravely.

Ruan Tiantian loved this spirit of hers.

"That's my sister, dealing with past relationships without any ambiguity and not clinging to the past, we have to look forward. If he dares to bully you, come to me."

"Your dad may be unreliable, but you also have sisters!" Ruan Tiantian patted her chest, signifying sisterhood solidarity.

Xu Ningxi was moved and hugged her.

Ruan Tiantian then slapped two keys into Xu Ningxi's palm, "Of course, sisters are the most reliable. Look what I've got for you. These are keys you left at my place before; you did it in case we forgot ours. Thinking you might need them now, I quickly brought them to you."

"Thinking that your place will be where you and the gigolo settle down, going through your small life together, it seems inappropriate for me to keep your keys, so here they are returned to their owner."

Xu Ningxi excitedly clutched the keys.

"Tiantian, how can you be so nice? You've truly restored the dignity of a rich and beautiful woman like me."

This time, she was spending the gigolo's money.

She really felt bad about it.

She had her own little apartment, and she would provide the marital home.

This was a good opportunity to regain face in front of the gigolo...

After sending Ruan Tiantian away, Xu Ningxi returned to Fu Hanzheng's side, "These are the keys to our marital home. Come move in and live with me."

Fu Hanzheng listened to what she meant.

She intended to provide the marital home.

He couldn't help but smile.

"Are you sure?"

Xu Ningxi nodded and pushed the keys into the man's hands, "These days, it doesn't matter whether the man or the woman provides the marital home, I'm not someone who cares about that, and you're the same, right?"

Fu Hanzheng just stared at her, the smile at the corner of his lips growing thicker.

She was the most unique person he had ever met.

She knew of his status, yet she still insisted on providing the marital home.

If others knew his status, they would surely shower him with flattery and do all they could to please him, fearing the slightest offense towards him.

But Xu Ningxi could treat all this as quite ordinary, standing proudly before him, even offering him a house to live in.

She was becoming more interesting by the minute.
