Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165: This Is a Marriage Scam

Zhao Guoxian thought: Do you know what you’re saying about Zhao Dingli?

However, Mr. Zhao admitted that Mrs. Zhao’s words were true.

Wasn’t it Li Xiaoyun who was deceived back by Zhao Dingli’s relentless pursuit?

Even if Zhao Dingli was unwilling, he was helpless.

That’s the fact.

"Moreover, with a girl like Xiao Yun, who’s never been in love, silly yet adorable, quite slow in emotional matters — it was indeed fortune for our Dingli, who worked hard to make Xiao Yun enlightened," Mrs. Zhao said cheerfully.

Mrs. Wei casually blurted out, "This is marriage deception by Zhao Dingli!"

Mr. Wei: "..."

What marriage deception?

What does that mean?

Mrs. Zhao: "..."

Mrs. Wei, after speaking, quickly covered her mouth.

Oh dear, how did she say what she was really thinking?

But it is marriage deception!

Fooling an innocent girl who’s never been in love, just deceiving her back home.

No issues with that.

"What marriage deception?" Mrs. Zhao was displeased, "This was all due to Dingli’s efforts. Besides, it’s because Dingli liked her. When you like someone, you must pursue them quickly, otherwise you might lose them to someone else and regret it later on."

"So, don’t bother about whether age matters. If you really like someone, even if you have to be a bit thick-skinned and be pointed at, so what? Living well for yourself is the real deal," Mrs. Zhao advised, "It’s certainly better than staying single, right?"

Mrs. Zhao didn’t specifically mention Wei Zhiqian.

But Mrs. Wei understood.

"Our Xiao Fei is truly blessed," Mrs. Zhao couldn’t stop praising, "Not only did she solve Gu Shen’s single problem, but also took care of our family’s long-standing issues. Now there’s nothing I worry about anymore. Just Gu Xian is left, but since he’s still young, there’s no rush, just taking it slow."

Finally, after hearing Mrs. Zhao’s boasting, Mrs. Wei hung up the phone and said to Mr. Wei: "Why don’t we have someone who can introduce good friends to Zhiqian?"

Mr. Wei thought for a while and said, "Rong Xuan has many girlfriends, but would you dare take them on?"

Mrs. Wei: "..."

Never mind, pretend she hadn’t said anything.

Wei Rongxuan herself had been through multiple divorces, causing quite a fuss.

In each divorce, both parties were responsible, not just one side.

But given her tumultuous nature, Mrs. Wei didn’t hold much hope for her.

Over with Zhao Dingli, he was happily replying to comments in Moments one by one.

Only until he noticed it was 12 o’clock.

Then he got out of the car and sent a WeChat message to Li Xiaoyun: "I’m downstairs at your company."

Li Xiaoyun originally planned to leave about ten minutes late, since she was almost done with her work and could finish it in one go so that in the afternoon she could start new tasks.

Otherwise, suddenly stopping and restarting in the afternoon wouldn’t maintain the same good momentum.

However, because of Zhao Dingli’s message, Li Xiaoyun didn’t want him to wait long, so she saved the file quickly.

She paused her work, intending to continue later in the afternoon.

Li Xiaoyun quickly tidied up and left the company.

As soon as she stepped out of the company’s doors, she saw Zhao Dingli waiting there.

Because Zhao Dingli frequently came to find Li Xiaoyun, her colleagues at Reishi were already accustomed.

Although they still couldn’t help but be curious and glance, their reactions weren’t as exaggerated as before.

Li Xiaoyun ran up to Zhao Dingli.

"Why are you running? I’m right here waiting, I won’t run away," Zhao Dingli said, fixing Li Xiaoyun’s hair.

Though Zhao Dingli used to come find Li Xiaoyun, their actions hadn’t been this intimate.

A change in relationship between a pair of opposite sexes is quite easily noticed.

Everyone could tell now that Li Xiaoyun and Zhao Dingli were different from before.

Clearly, they were in a romantic relationship.

Curious, they stared a bit longer.

Mostly curious about what Zhao Dingli was like in love.

"Have you been waiting long?" Li Xiaoyun asked.

She had come out immediately upon receiving his message.

Understanding Zhao Dingli, she knew Zhao Dingli would consider this for her sake, just as she considered him.

She didn’t want him to wait.

And surely, Zhao Dingli wouldn’t want her to wait either.

He might even come earlier just to avoid keeping her waiting.

You have to say, Li Xiaoyun really understood Zhao Dingli now.

"No," Zhao Dingli wouldn’t admit, "I got here right on time."

Li Xiaoyun didn’t quite believe him but didn’t say anything.

She just assumed it was true.

As long as she understood, it was enough.

"Let’s eat near your company for lunch," Zhao Dingli suggested.

Actually, their companies are close to each other.

No matter which place, it counts as nearby.

Li Xiaoyun nodded, agreeing, and Zhao Dingli directly took her hand.

The two of them just started their romantic relationship last night.

Honestly, Li Xiaoyun still hadn’t fully adapted to this change.

If they were together all the time, that would be fine.

But after being apart for a while and seeing each other again, it often felt less natural.

Li Xiaoyun blushed, inexperienced in her first love, unsure how to interact during such relationships or what to do.

Luckily, despite it being Zhao Dingli’s first love too, as Mrs. Zhao said, he was thick-skinned.

He easily picked a topic to discuss: "How much did you get in red envelopes today?"

Talking about this, Li Xiaoyun found it funny: "I didn’t count precisely, but everyone gave 200."

Calculating this, the red envelopes she received this morning totaled several thousand.

***

Zhao Gushen arrived at Changping Academy.

Met up with Ye Fei.

Changping Academy’s cafeteria is divided into several sections.

There are student cafeterias and teacher cafeterias.

Even school management like Zhao Guoxian don’t have any special arrangements and dine in the teacher cafeteria together.

Every teacher within Changping has a fixed position, ensuring there’s no issue of arriving late and finding no place.

Of course, teachers can ignore their designated spots and choose to dine with colleagues.

But their spots are still reserved.

No other reason, that’s just how accommodating Changping is.

Although divided into teacher and student cafeterias, the menu remains the same, with no differences in quality or variety.

This simply helps separate social interactions between students and teachers.

Preventing everyone from crowding together noisily.

During meals, chatting would also become inconvenient.

Ye Fei, logically speaking, should have headed to the student cafeteria.

But because Zhao Gushen directly requested a spot from Zhao Guoxian in the teacher cafeteria.

Ye Fei went to the teacher cafeteria with Zhao Gushen instead.

Although the menu stayed the same and the quality consistent.

The teacher cafeteria, having fewer people, did provide a better dining environment.
