I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 198: Are You Angry?

Qiao Suisui was a bit surprised, "Teacher Guan still remembers this matter?"

Guan Weizhi looked at her surprised expression and said nothing; in fact, he remembered much more than just that.

He also knew why Father Qiao’s company was poorly managed.

Previously, he had given Father Qiao some benefits through his connections, but as time passed, that man began to become somewhat inflated, neglecting to maintain relationships with clients. He thought it was his own ability that made clients curry favor with him, not realizing that without Guan Weizhi, those people would consider him insignificant.

Guan Weizhi somewhat knew about Qiao Suisui’s situation in that family. Her mother, with her and her brother, had remarried, feeling inferior due to her circumstances of dragging along two children, so she tolerated everything Father Qiao did, trying her best to support his career after their marriage. It must be said that this woman really had some ability; placed in the old society, she would have been a hero among beautified women, managing to transform a small workshop of twenty or thirty people into an entrepreneurial company of over two hundred people within five years.

But people cannot earn money beyond their recognition.

The couple’s small-scale business mindset was utterly inadequate by modern standards; they lacked basic business thinking, favored nepotism, lacked management skills, and pushed away genuinely professional talents. The remaining ones were all office slickers who shirked real work, so the faster the expansion, the quicker the collapse. Now, the couple’s company account was nearly empty, yet they still put up a façade when stepping out. They didn’t even qualify as nouveau riche, let alone having any real substance.

Poor people start businesses and grow poorer.

That day when he asked Qiao Suisui for her father’s company address, he actually already knew it. Guan Weizhi felt the young girl was too embarrassed to speak directly to him, using that method as a way to retreat in order to advance.

From a young age, countless people have tried to take advantage of him to climb the social ladder; he used to get annoyed at first, but later, he could assess emotionlessly who was useful to him and how much cost it would take to gain what benefit… This had become a subtle and ingrained way of thinking for him. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

To be honest, he thought poorly of the couple, seeing their family as leeches that were hard to shake off. If it weren’t for his concern that Qiao Suisui might go hungry, he wouldn’t bother with such people. That was why he never used his own identity and instead went through two or three degrees of separation when he intervened. He didn’t want to get involved with such a family.

Although he indeed wanted Qiao Suisui to be his girlfriend, that did not mean he would tolerate her family without limits.

So, when he heard over the phone Qiao Suisui mentioning that the Qiao family wanted to get involved and join him for a meal, he felt a moment of disinterest, but quickly adjusted his feelings. If helping her this time could gain her trust, it might aid the development of their relationship.

Guan Weizhi slightly lifted his eyelids and spoke emotionlessly, "Last time I asked you to send your dad’s company name and you didn’t, but I’ve already found out. Don’t worry too much, I will have someone sort out his financial issues this week..."

"Teacher Guan."

His words were not yet complete when Qiao Suisui directly interrupted him.

"Thank you for wanting to help our family, but I don’t want you to intervene."

Her words were crisp and polite, causing a flicker of incredulity in Guan Weizhi’s eyes. He slightly frowned upon seeing the calm and resolute expression of the young woman in front of him.

Guan Weizhi suddenly realized that he could no longer understand what she was thinking.

Qiao Suisui spoke softly, yet her words were definitive and left no room for ambiguity, "Their matters will be managed by themselves, and if the company truly fails, then that is the consequence they must bear. I have my own affairs to handle. Teacher Guan, let’s leave this matter here, and please do not bring it up again. Thank you for your intentions, I appreciate them."

Her words were proper and imposing, leaving no room for rebuttal, causing Guan Weizhi to stand frozen.

He suddenly felt that Qiao Suisui had pushed him far away, as if the two of them were really just a distant student and teacher, with no other possibilities.

The man lowered his eyes, feeling a sudden dryness in his mouth and a complex sourness churning in his throat.

After a while, he looked up at her and asked, "Are you angry?"

Qiao Suisui was taken aback, "No, not at all."

"You don’t like me interfering in your family affairs?"

She sat up straight, smiled, and said, "I just don’t want to complicate the relationship between people. You are my teacher, and you have no obligation to worry about my private matters. I’ve always been grateful that you stood up for me when no one else would, and I respect you very much, Teacher Guan."

After she finished, she saw Guan Weizhi’s expression turn somewhat ugly. Blinking, she asked, "Teacher Guan, what’s wrong?"

For the first time, Guan Weizhi’s judgment was mistaken. Now, he was truly convinced that Qiao Suisui had never wanted him to meddle in her parents’ affair from the beginning—it was his excess of self-awareness. What surprised him even more was that his role as a teacher had ultimately become a barrier. At this moment, truly feeling like a mute who has tasted a bitter herb, he could only casually say, "It’s nothing, let’s eat."

For the rest of the time, Qiao Suisui focused on eating the sashimi, while Guan Weizhi was feeling depressed, and called for a bottle of Fourteenth Generation.

Fortunately, Qiao Suisui did not recognize the wine, or else she would have fainted on the spot. Not to mention that this bottle of wine was priced in the five digits, it was a kind seldom tasted even by those who frequent the market.

After having her fill, she planned to quietly pay the bill. The kimono-clad woman smiled peculiarly and said, "Didn’t Mr. Guan tell you? He owns this place. When the boss brings friends here to dine, there is no reason for you to pay the bill."

This restaurant was just one of Guan Weizhi’s many investments, usually forgotten, and he visited only once or twice a year.

Qiao Suisui once again revised her understanding of Guan Weizhi.

The kimono-clad woman warmly escorted them to the door, and as they were leaving, she handed Qiao Suisui a carved, gilded wooden box filled with Japanese sweets, each small and exquisitely shaped, adorable in appearance.

"Miss Qiao, please come often if you like."

Qiao Suisui quickly thanked her, while Guan Weizhi, seeing her cheeks flushed with delight, curved his lips in satisfaction, nodded at the kimono-clad woman, then took the items from Qiao Suisui’s hands and turned to walk away with her.

The kimono-clad woman kept bowing and smiling until they were out of sight, then she breathed a sigh of relief, clenched her fist, and cheered, "Yes! There’s my bonus for the month, well done me!"

Because Guan Weizhi had been drinking, he called Old Tang to pick them up. Qiao Suisui followed him into a black Maybach, feeling like she had seen the car somewhere before, but couldn’t remember where.

At that moment, the man sprawled his long legs next to her, unbuckled two buttons of his shirt, moved his neck, and his burning gaze fixed on Qiao Suisui.

The young girl sat quietly and obediently in the back seat, wearing a simple dress made of soft fabric, her long hair casually tied behind her head, a few stray hairs falling on her snow-white nape. Guan Weizhi, as if possessed, reached out and pinched her nape. Qiao Suisui was startled and moved farther away from him.

"Teacher Guan?"

"There’s something there."

"What is it?" She reached out to feel it, but her hand met the man’s still lingering fingertips.
