Su Bingshan's actions moved Zhu Bufan greatly, finding it rare to see such a "silly woman" who was so earnestly honest. She didn't even want a house after getting married; instead, she invited him to live at hers. Although Zhu Bufan had no intentions of moving in, Su Bingshan's words were nevertheless very gratifying to him.

Zhu Bufan secretly decided that he must give Su Bingshan some respect. He could not keep tormenting her and making her feel embarrassed like he had just now.

After Su Bingshan sent away the crowd of family members, she took Zhu Bufan into a small side room and said with earnest gravity, "Zhu Bufan, even if you have some money in your pocket, you shouldn't show off like this. Acting in such a way really hurts people's pride, and it's fine if it's just among ourselves, but if you flaunt your wealth in front of strangers, it will surely bring you unnecessary trouble."

"You don't have to worry about me, I'm really okay!" Zhu Bufan nodded repeatedly, insisting there was nothing wrong.

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but rather that his strength was genuinely formidable. Even someone as formidable as Tang Feng had bowed his head to him, hadn't he? Although Zhu Bufan was a bit proud, he never once neglected the daily enhancement of his strength.

Training, Cultivation, these were indispensable parts of his daily life.

Su Bingshan then asked, "I've heard that there's a deep rift between you and Tang Feng. Do you need me to mediate for you?"

"That won't be necessary. I've already handled the matter. There's no need to trouble Teacher Su..."

Zhu Bufan's sentence was cut off halfway as Su Bingshan covered his mouth with her hand. Narrowing her eyes, she said softly, "Zhu Bufan, why do you still call me 'teacher'? My parents have agreed to our matter, and it's pretty much settled."

...

Under Su Bingshan's relentless persuasion, Zhu Bufan, helpless, changed his way of addressing her from "Teacher Su" to "Shan Sister," and then to "wife" after they would marry.

Thus ended the visit of Zhu Bufan and Su Bingshan, where even after running dozens of kilometers back and forth, Zhu Bufan left without having a meal because Su Bingshan had to rush back to teach. She hadn't taken a day off, nor had she asked for leave; she had merely found someone to cover one class and had to return to avoid being considered absent from work.

It's worth mentioning that even though their visit was hurried, Zhou Yunzhi was insistent on collecting the betrothal money from Zhu Bufan. Since you're engaged to our daughter, you have to give us some "dowry money." Surely you can't expect to receive such a big... a bride, just like that for nothing, right?

After begrudgingly paying 120,000 yuan in betrothal money, Zhu Bufan was "exonerated" by Zhou Yunzhi. Thus, the marriage arrangement between Zhu Bufan and Su Bingshan was hastily "settled."

In fact, from the perspective of Zhu Bufan, a man of the countryside, Su Bingshan could not be considered a maiden, nor a young bride; at most, she could only be regarded as a widow, and the kind burdened with complications. It was because of this view that Zhu Bufan was unwilling to accept Su Bingshan.

He would rather accept that fool, Zhan Feihuang!

Su Bingshan had wised up this time; she headed straight to the school entrance and got out of the car holding Xiao Yan. She entered the school gate with Xiao Yan while Zhu Bufan was instructed to follow behind. They were to ensure that he didn't walk with her to avoid awkwardness.

Zhu Bufan wasn't in a hurry. He casually bought a bottle of Coke at a small shop by the gate, sipping it leisurely while watching the passersby with a triumphant look on his face.

I'm finally engaged!

After finishing his Coke, Zhu Bufan was about to leave when an incredibly odd scene unfolded at the school gate.

Zhao Erapang's Land Rover roared from a distance to the school entrance. As the door opened, a frail figure was pushed out from inside, followed by the arrogant voice of Zhao Erapang, "Huang Yucui, you wretch, don't bother me anymore. I've given you this month's money. From now on, we are through!" Then the car door slammed shut.

"Zhao Erapang, you stop right there, stop! You heartless thief, you womanizing scoundrel, don't run, don't you run!" Huang Yucui, with her fragile frame, struggled to get up from the ground and chased after the Land Rover for quite a distance before she was mercilessly tossed aside.

The situation was pretty clear. Zhu Bufan was no fool; couldn't he see the inside story here? Zhao Erapang got tired of Huang Yucui and kicked her to the curb for a new woman. That fatso is indeed an infamous playboy!

But for Huang Yucui to end up like this was hardly earth-shattering news. Looking at the girl decked out in gold and jewels, it was obvious that this missy knew how to spend money—definitely not someone an average Joe could afford.

Resigned, Zhu Bufan shrugged his shoulders, got on his electric bike, and prepared to return to class. But, he caught the distraught Huang Yucui's attention. She had just been dumped in the street—a maiden, at least on the surface, how was she to face the world hereafter?

She must regain some face for herself.

"Husband, wait for me!" Huang Yucui shrieked, attracting the attention of over a hundred onlookers!

She darted toward Zhu Bufan's bike, leaped onto it, and with a pout said, "Husband, that Zhao Erapang owes us 50,000 yuan. I've been asking him for ages, and he only gave me a little over 10,000, there's still more than 30,000 left. You should go and get it back yourself later."

...

Zhu Bufan couldn't help but internally applaud her cleverness; she was truly astute compared to Zhan Feihuang, that dimwit—by a hundred-thousand-fold.

She had clearly been dumped by Zhao Erapang, and the bit over ten thousand yuan he gave her was probably a maintenance fee. But with her ruse, the story immediately flipped. It turned into Zhao Erapang owing her money, and she went to claim the debt.

Then, with a spin, she went from being Zhao Erapang's lover to Zhu Bufan's wife. She saved her face and got some money—a win-win situation.

As Huang Yucui spoke, she also winked at Zhu Bufan, meaning that you know what to do, help me out this time, since we're acquainted.

With no other choice, Zhu Bufan simply nodded, said nothing, throttled up his electric bike, and bolted from this troublesome spot. Whatever happened, he was helping her this one time. Hopefully, she'd be more discerning about choosing a boyfriend in the future, and not fall for scoundrels like Zhao Erapang again.
