Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 474 - 28: The Boss and the Secretary

Pan Yun saw her cousin like this and had to say a few words to help.

"Fulan is as popular as she was during school days. I heard you were going on blind dates, but I didn’t believe it."

This caught everyone’s attention, and they all looked at Qu Fulan incredulously.

"Does Fulan really need to go on blind dates?"

"Surely it’s a rumor, right? How could someone like Fulan, a great beauty, go on blind dates?"

"Pan Yun, where did you hear that? It’s too unreliable."

Pan Yun laughed, "If it wasn’t for the fact that the person going on a blind date with Fulan is my cousin, I would have thought it was unreliable too, right, Fulan?"

Pan Yun’s cousin is Yang Zhi, whom everyone just met. Earlier, they were puzzled as to why her cousin attended the class reunion. If he was the blind date of a female classmate, it would make sense.

Chasing all the way to a class reunion, could it be that the blind date was successful?

Everyone subconsciously thought this way.

"So today Mr. Yang is not here as Pan Yun’s family, but as part of Miss Qu’s family?"

"This beauty is different; even in blind dates, she can find someone so good."

For most people, someone like Yang Zhi is considered a good catch, hard to find even with a lantern. They usually can’t find such a boyfriend, yet someone meets one so easily on a blind date. It really makes others envious and jealous.

Hearing everyone’s comments, this time it was the hefty guy who turned green with envy. He never imagined that Yang Zhi and Qu Fulan met through a blind date.

What does this have to do with him?

Yang Zhi looked at his cousin without any change in expression, obviously intending to compliment her. He cleared his throat to speak, but Qu Fulan spoke first.

"I’m too busy with work and don’t have much time, so naturally, I need blind dates to find a boyfriend. My current boyfriend was also met through a blind date, but he’s busy today, so he couldn’t come."

Indeed, busy—when is Boss Pei not busily elusive like a dragon?

The crowd was stunned when they heard her say her boyfriend wasn’t here.

Isn’t the boyfriend Yang Zhi? Yet she said he wasn’t here, so the boyfriend isn’t Yang Zhi?

Then who is Yang Zhi here for today?

Miss Qu doesn’t even look up to someone like Yang Zhi, so how amazing must her boyfriend be?

But the possibility seems too low. It’s not like good men are everywhere. Finding one good one is already decent; finding an even better one is like winning the lottery.

So many people thought Qu Fulan didn’t find Yang Zhi good enough, hence was lying.

For her to not even consider someone like Yang Zhi, how high must her standards be?

Indeed, people say beauties have high standards, and that statement seems true.

For most people, a man like Yang Zhi is good enough, but for women aiming to marry into wealth, it doesn’t mean much.

But marrying into wealth isn’t easy; wealthy families have high requirements and entry barriers. It’s naive to think one can get in just on looks.

For the moment, everyone looked at Qu Fulan with odd expressions, some even showing disdain.

Including Pan Yun, when she said those words, she was actually giving Qu Fulan a way out. Whether her cousin ultimately marries her or not, having been together for a while is already her fortune. Instead of taking the chance, she said such things publicly and deserved the disdain.

Women wanting to marry into wealth are seen as gold diggers, and gold diggers aren’t thought well of, deservedly met with disdain.

One should at least be down-to-earth, striving for what one wants through personal effort. Thinking one can have anything just because of a pretty face is delusional.

Yang Zhi, being publicly rejected, felt uneasy inside, but he had to maintain the gentlemanly demeanor, outwardly smiling and even offering blessings to Qu Fulan while internally deciding she’s ungrateful.

Clearly not very smart, such a woman isn’t worth having.

Thinking this way didn’t ease the internal bitterness from losing interest in a woman, ending up with such an ungrateful person.

The hefty guy, seeing this situation, also lost his initial fondness for Qu Fulan, but it didn’t stop him from wanting her. Since it’s about money, who isn’t offering money?

The hefty guy intentionally asked, "What does your boyfriend do?"

Qu Fulan said he’s in business.

The hefty guy continued, "In business? I know quite a few people in the business circle here, maybe I know who you’re talking about."

He asked, eyes set on Qu Fulan, waiting to see how she would fabricate.

If she indeed has a boyfriend and he turns out to be a nobody, abandoning Yang Zhi for such a person would make her the laughing stock.

If she doesn’t have a boyfriend, for the sake of face, she’d have to make up someone impressive, and should the hefty guy know him, he’d grill her, watching her argue.

Hearing this, Pan Yun also laughed, "My boyfriend is also somewhat famous in the province’s business circle, similar to my cousin. They’re all from the same circle, maybe they know each other. Even if they don’t, meeting now and perhaps collaborating in the future is good."

Yang Zhi smilingly agreed.

For an inconsiderate woman, no need to save her face.

Many people were eyeing Qu Fulan, waiting to see her embarrassment.

Nowadays, no one can bear to see others live better than themselves, especially beauties. With their good looks, they already have access to better resources, living better than ordinary people, which makes others unconvinced and eager to see someone like her falter when given the chance.

Of course, not everyone wants to see Qu Fulan embarrassed; some are indifferent. Living their own lives, they don’t care about others.

But clear-headed people are the minority, while most follow the trend.

How could Qu Fulan not know others wanted to see her embarrassed?

After years as a secretary, she’s seen all sorts of situations; it’s not hard to deduce people’s intentions to see her embarrassed.

In other situations, it wouldn’t matter, but at a class reunion, too, this made her disappointed, explaining why many avoid class reunions after graduation; people have become less sincere.

"He’s not here, so talking about him isn’t meaningful. We can meet him another day. Today is about celebrating our teacher’s birthday; let’s put other matters aside for now," Qu Fulan said.

This explanation seemed guilty to others; many looked at Qu Fulan with meaningful glances.

No matter how beautiful, what’s the use? Being so picky, yet still unmarried.

Soon, the teacher arrived, and everyone gathered to celebrate, chatting and laughing. During the event, someone inadvertently mentioned Pan Yun’s boyfriend, and the teacher asked more about them, to which Pan Yun said they were preparing for a wedding and invited everyone to join, graciously asking the teacher to be a witness.

The teacher happily agreed, then the topic shifted back to Qu Fulan, and the teacher teasingly asked if she had a boyfriend, jokingly saying if not, he’d introduce one.

Someone joked, saying even Yang Zhi wasn’t good enough for Qu Fulan, so introducing someone might not be easy.

The remark was too pointed, and just as Qu Fulan was about to respond, her phone rang.

It was her boss.

Asking where she was, intending to come and pick her up.

After hanging up, Qu Fulan smiled at the teacher, "I said I had a boyfriend, but nobody believed me. Now he has a chance to come by. You can see for yourselves and stop thinking I’m making it up."
