Naturally, beating Wu Dandan was impossible. What was even more infuriating was that after Boss Wu’s special ringtone was exposed, Ms. Liu felt something was seriously wrong and forcibly snatched away Wu Mangmang’s phone.

Ms. Liu’s phone ringtone was naturally also exposed, which made her teeth itch with anger and directly postponed Wu Mangmang’s allowance indefinitely.

After giving birth to Wu Dandan, Ms. Liu’s second spring bloomed strongly. She was determined to be a fashionable, high-class, senior beauty. Being a matchmaker was really too degrading. Although she did it every week, she absolutely forbade Wu Mangmang from mentioning it.

Moreover, Ms. Liu had a fatal regret. No matter how many treatments she tried, from the old Bawang shampoo to various hair growth tonics now – everything was available, but Ms. Liu’s hair still wasn’t very abundant, and there was even the danger of a receding hairline.

So Ms. Liu’s idol was Tang Yan, a female star whose biggest highlight was being famous for her receding hairline and smooth forehead, which supposedly symbolized magnanimity.

The place where Wu Mangmang’s ringtone stepped on Ms. Liu’s sore spot was precisely the four words “If You Are the One,” because what was the host of that show famous for? Naturally, his bald head that could be used as a mirror.

Ms. Liu firmly believed that Wu Mangmang was mocking her sparse hair this time.

They say long hair means short wisdom – Ms. Liu’s sparse hair precisely proved how knowledgeable she was! But no matter how Wu Mangmang argued, there was no hope of getting her allowance back.

Wu Dandan watched Ms. Liu chase Wu Mangmang and laughed so hard he rolled around giggling.

They say daughters are fathers’ lovers from past lives, so siblings must be rivals in love from past lives. Wu Mangmang felt Wu Dandan was her love-hate CP.

In short, the whole family’s emotions could be vented on Wu Mangmang, but she had nowhere to complain. Unable to sleep that night, she used the Lego blocks she brought back to build a large Zhu Bajie.

Before breakfast was served, Wu Mangmang domineeringly placed the “extended version Zhu Bajie” on the dining table. “Here, Dandan, for you.”

This time, not only Ms. Liu but even Boss Wu got angry. “Wu Mangmang, what are you doing?”

Wu Mangmang pointed at the extended Zhu Bajie with a grin. “Don’t you all just like that he has one extra thing? I made it longer to make it more obvious.”

“You…” Ms. Liu picked up a dinner knife, realized it was wrong and quickly put it down, then picked up a spoon to hit Wu Mangmang.

Wu Mangmang had already run to the door, having prepared in advance. She didn’t forget to turn back and say to Ms. Liu, “Dandan’s sex education must keep up. Start from childhood, remember to take him to the hospital for circumcision. It hurts less when done as a child, and it has to be done sooner or later anyway.”

“This is absolutely outrageous!” Boss Wu slammed his bowl down with a clatter.

Wu Mangmang shot out the door like a rabbit.

With a vicious biological mother chasing inside, Wu Mangmang fled through the carved iron gate in panic.

Only the ear-piercing soul-frightening “screech—” of emergency brakes could be heard. If not for the Bumblebee’s good performance, Wu Mangmang would probably have met her end there today.

Wu Mangmang herself was also scared pale.

Before Ning Zheng could get angry, he heard urgent knocking that sounded like death approaching, and Wu Mangmang’s head appeared outside the glass.

As soon as he pressed the central lock button, Wu Mangmang nimbly jumped in. “Drive.”

Meanwhile, Ms. Liu walked through the door with a pale face and sat down on the sofa. Seeing this, Boss Wu quickly comforted her, “If you can’t catch her, forget it. Mangmang just has a childish temper, no malice. Don’t take it personally.”

Ms. Liu hadn’t caught her breath yet. That scene just now was too dangerous, and she was still scared thinking about it.

If Mangmang had any mishap…

Ms. Liu quickly shook her head. “I’m not taking it personally with her. That damn girl never gives anyone peace of mind.”

After thinking for a long time, Ms. Liu’s heart still hadn’t calmed down. Finally, she took out her phone and transferred five thousand yuan to Wu Mangmang via Alipay, which finally consoled her.

When Wu Mangmang heard the notification and opened it to see exactly five thousand yuan – enough for half a month’s property fees – it was still useless.

The hateful thing was Alipay’s transfer limit. Otherwise, with Ms. Liu’s generosity, five thousand yuan wouldn’t even be enough for a hair appointment.

“What happened just now? Running out like you didn’t want to live?” Ning Zheng gripped the steering wheel without turning back to Wu Mangmang. “Was that your stepmother chasing you?”

“Biological mother!” Wu Mangmang said. “Don’t we look alike? I was born concentrating all my family’s good points.”

“You’re that scared of your own mother?” Ning Zheng asked curiously.

“Only your own mother would dare marry you off to a forty-year-old man as his second wife,” Wu Mangmang said righteously.

“Short of money?” This was Ning Zheng’s first reaction. Today’s young girls were all very shrewd. When short of money, they never said it directly, always putting on an expression of selling themselves to bury their fathers, making you rush to give money while they occupied the moral sympathy point.

Wu Mangmang immediately sensed the malice in Ning Zheng’s tone. These rich young masters mostly liked to buy convenience with money – start simple, end clean.

Ning Zheng waited for Wu Mangmang’s answer, glancing sideways to see her face wearing a half-smile expression. This attitude was really worth pondering – neither proactive nor refusing.

Ning Zheng thought to himself that today’s young girls were really something – so young yet so sophisticated.

Neither spoke anymore, both somewhat waiting for the other to take initiative.

It wasn’t until the car went down the mountain that Wu Mangmang said, “Just drop me off at East Mountain Middle Road.”

East Mountain Middle Road was the city’s most upscale commercial district, surrounded by the city’s financial center with towering buildings. The most iconic building – the Twin Stars – was in this area.

“Okay.” Ning Zheng nodded.

When the car reached East Mountain Middle Road, Ning Zheng got out to open the door for Wu Mangmang, leaning against the car door and asking, “You used me as a chauffeur completely, and that’s it?”

Wu Mangmang smiled and asked, “What’s your phone number?”

Ning Zheng gave her a number.

“Is WeChat the same number? Accept my request.” Wu Mangmang said unceremoniously.

Soon the verification went through, followed by a transfer notification sound.

“Four hundred fourteen? Why are you giving me money?” Ning Zheng frowned.

“Mr. Chauffeur, I don’t have that much cash, and you don’t have a POS machine, so I can only transfer electronically.” Wu Mangmang stepped away two paces, waving her phone at Ning Zheng. “Mr. Chauffeur, drive more steadily next time. This technique of yours could ruin your livelihood.”

Ning Zheng drove away, and after five minutes, he realized why it was 414 yuan – wasn’t that “try it out”?

Today’s young girls were really too much.

Ning Zheng turned the car around to chase back, searching the shopping center up and down several times without seeing a trace of her.

Only then did he go downstairs with a self-mocking smile.

He picked up his phone and sent Wu Mangmang a WeChat message: “Going out on a boat today, want to come?”

The voice reply came quickly, with a sickeningly sweet voice: “No date, uncle, we don’t date.”

Ning Zheng threw away his phone. What a little thing that knew how to whet one’s appetite.

As for Wu Mangmang, she naturally had already made plans.

How could Ms. Liu waste her beautiful weekend without arranging a blind date?

Wu Mangmang went to Tea House today. Their afternoon tea was very famous in the city – without a reservation, there was no way to get a table.

But mornings were still relatively uncrowded.

Tea House was built on a platform extending from the 24th floor of a building, hidden among artificial trees and bushes.

Wu Mangmang came too early today, mainly because she was chased out by Ms. Liu before eating breakfast.

Bored while waiting, she played with selfies in the grove for a while and uploaded them to Weibo.

Recently, she hadn’t gotten any new bags or new summer outfits, so even her followers were growing unusually slowly, still tens of thousands away from a million.

Wu Mangmang sighed. Among the comments of “Goddess is stunning,” she put away her phone and turned to see that the person she was waiting for was already standing beside her.

Wu Mangmang stood up with slight surprise.

She knew this person – another player from the “nine dots” table.

“Mr. Shen?” Wu Mangmang asked tentatively.

“Miss Wu.” Shen Ting nodded slightly, his handsome face still expressionless.

“Please sit, please sit.” Wu Mangmang said quickly.

So the 34-year-old uncle-level figure that Ms. Liu described as young and promising, wealthy family background, and handsome enough to be a star was Shen Ting.

Wu Mangmang really wanted to perform a line: “My apologies, my apologies.”

And she indeed couldn’t help saying it out loud.

Shen Ting politely replied, “I’ve long admired your reputation.”

Shen Ting spoke very little.

Couldn’t tell if he had much blind date experience.

As for Wu Mangmang, since her mood hadn’t been good recently, she also had no intention of taking initiative in conversation.

Besides, last night Ms. Liu had lectured her repeatedly, insisting Wu Mangmang swear she absolutely wouldn’t be absent today, so she knew nothing good would come of it.

Although Wu Mangmang wasn’t clear what kind of person the financial god was, seeing Lu Qingqing’s attitude of wanting to kneel and shout “long live,” she knew she’d better not provoke people from that circle.

Especially serious men like Shen Ting who clearly couldn’t take jokes.

As for Ning Zheng, this type of playboy could be ignored. Even if you didn’t provoke him, he’d come provoke you.

Ms. Liu couldn’t see the situation clearly, vainly attempting to marry Wu Mangmang into a wealthy family with her willow-like appearance. Wu Mangmang felt she might as well give birth to twins for the other party, receive a billion-yuan mansion from the father-in-law and leave – that would be more realistic.

Wu Mangmang didn’t speak but couldn’t sit still either. Fortunately, Shen Ting’s phone rang at this moment. He got up to answer it nearby while Wu Mangmang quickly took out her phone to continue browsing Weibo.

Shen Ting wore casual clothes today, his back looking very relaxed, and his phone-answering posture was particularly elegant.

Wu Mangmang couldn’t help taking a photo of Shen Ting’s back and uploading it to her girlfriends’ WeChat group.

“Today’s blind date, handsome or not?”

Long Xiujuan was the first woman to identify all of Shen Ting’s outfit brands. This woman spent all day studying the brands people wore.

Lu Qingqing said he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, very worth trying, just couldn’t see if his middle finger was long enough.

This led the topic to extend further, turning into late-night discussion early in the morning. Wu Mangmang’s face turned red.

But she firmly refused to admit her virgin status and enthusiastically joined the discussion: Actually, length doesn’t matter – what’s important is endurance.

Radio medical Q&A programs sponsored by men’s specialty hospitals said anything shorter than thirty minutes was abnormal.

But Men’s Health magazine had a special discussion that even the country with the highest average endurance only averaged about ten minutes.

The girlfriends’ group immediately exploded, everyone sharing their experiences for discussion.

As the one with the most boyfriends, Wu Mangmang was forced to give a scientific conclusion: men around twenty were more enduring.

So sister-younger brother relationships were the way to go.

The topic was so explosive that when Shen Ting finished his call and returned, Wu Mangmang was still buried in her phone.

This was probably the blind date with the least conversation either had ever experienced.

At twelve o’clock, the girlfriends all said they were going for brunch, and only then did Wu Mangmang look up at Shen Ting.

He seemed to have been constantly on calls, apparently work calls.

A genuine workaholic.

Two people with no common topics could naturally only shake hands and part ways.

But unexpectedly, Shen Ting actually suggested taking her out on a boat.

“Mr. Shen, I thought…” Wu Mangmang didn’t finish her sentence.

Shen Ting said, “You speak very little. I think we could give it a try.”
