The silly girl became a wealthy wife

5

However, whenever Derek Gu appeared at the most inconvenient moments when Qin Rui wanted to be intimate with his girlfriend, Qin Rui would grind his teeth in frustration.

Others also found it hard to understand what kind of luck Sophia Gu had stumbled upon to attract the attention of these two top-notch heartthrobs.

If we're talking about beauty, which campus queen or department flower isn't more dazzling than Sophia Gu?

With her clumsy, aimless, lazy, and unambitious demeanor, how did she manage to have the school's two most prominent figures bow down to her? There's only one explanation: Derek Gu and Qin Rui are either blinded by love or have grown tired of the big fish and meat and want to try something new.

And in fact, everyone was right. The so-called “blinded by love” Qin Rui did indeed seek something new. This relationship lasted only six months before he left for Canada with Crystal, the daughter of the president of Hengtai Electronics and the department flower of Z University's Finance Department, to pursue a master's degree.

This was a reasonable choice; any normal man would choose the wealthy and beautiful Crystal over the ordinary Sophia Gu.

However, when everyone thought Sophia Gu would be devastated by this and spend her days crying, presenting herself as a discarded woman to the world, they were surprised to find that she continued her life as usual—eating, sleeping, skipping classes, passing exams, and dating—with Derek Gu still by her side, unchanged.

Well, this is already her seventh boyfriend in four years, but her taste is really terrible.

She never turns down anyone who pursues her. Sophia Gu’s reasoning is: Love is something you have to try; how else will you know if he’s right for you? Besides, the elders have said that feelings can be cultivated.

It’s been a month, and after trying to cultivate it for a month, she’s only ended up with this kind of person. She hasn’t even broken her record, and she feels discouraged, thinking that it looks like she’ll have to say goodbye again this time.

Sigh, this is so depressing!

“Sophia?”

“Hm?” Sophia Gu looks at him naturally, showing no signs of being startled, as if she’s always been this quick to react.

Yang Jie looked at her, who was staring out the window and then staring blankly at him, and called out a few times without a response. He hesitated and asked, “Do you speak French? That wine just now...”

Sophia Gu blinked her clear eyes, gave a innocent smile, and honestly said, “I learned it from a TV show about wine. I only know that one sentence. At least I didn't embarrass myself!”

“On TV?” Yang Jie exclaimed, lowering his voice. “That wine must be very expensive, right?”

“Ah?” Sophia suddenly realized, her innocent face filled with regret. “I forgot about that. What should we do? Do you not have enough money? Well, maybe we should return it?”

Yang Jie's lips twitched at an odd frequency. He looked at the waiter pushing the food and wine over and said impatiently, “I don't have that much cash on me today!”

The waiter, who had already pushed the cart over, smiled politely, “Sir, we accept credit cards here!”

Watching Yang Jie, whose face remained stiff and ashen but who was pretending to be gracious, Sophia smiled innocently. Her eyes, filled with laughter, were misted with a hint of moisture. She skillfully picked up the knife and began cutting the food with ease. Yang Jie wouldn't dare to lose face in front of a woman. He mimicked her actions, awkwardly cutting the food on his plate with a forced composure.

Sophia Gu sipped the wine leisurely, her clear eyes curving into a smile. The wine swirled around her tongue, and the taste was excellent.

Hmm, she was actually very generous, really generous. He was so wealthy, yet she had only chosen the Chateau des Charmes Vidal Icewine, which cost eight thousand dollars, instead of a bottle of wine priced at hundreds of thousands of dollars. How generous!

As the old saying goes, after three rounds of drinks, when the fine food and wine had been enjoyed to their fullest, Sophia Gu's phone suddenly rang. The light ringtone blended seamlessly with the soothing music playing in the restaurant, making it hardly out of place.

Sophia slowly swallowed the food in her mouth, picked up the napkin, and gently wiped the stray oil stains from her lips. She smiled at Yang Jie and said softly, “I'll take this call!”

She didn't get up from her seat to go to the restroom or elsewhere to take the call. She pulled out her phone and said casually, “Hello, hello!”

Yang Jie didn't pay much attention to her phone call. He was silently calculating how much this meal would cost. After calculating for a while, although he felt a pang of regret, he didn't show it on his face. The money had already been spent, so he might as well enjoy the luxury of a high-end restaurant. After all, he could boast about having spent thousands of dollars on a single meal. However, this girlfriend was indeed expensive, though at least she was beautiful.

As he was trying to console himself, he heard Sophia Gu’s face turn pale as she anxiously said, “What? Seven thousand dollars for surgery? … Which hospital? … Alright, I’ll be right there!”

Sophia Gu clutched her phone tightly, looking at Yang Jie with a guilty expression.

Yang Jie’s eyes flashed with a gleam of understanding, and he immediately said, “Go quickly, don’t keep your friend waiting!”

“But today’s date…”

“It’s okay, your friend comes first!” Yang Jie said quickly and nobly.

Sophia Gu nodded, her lips curving into a faint smile, blinking her clear, lake-like eyes, and said with a smile, “I'm looking forward to... the next date...”

Yang Jie trembled slightly, then said with impeccable manners, “Go quickly, we'll talk about the date later—your friend comes first!”

If it weren't for my friend, would you be in such a hurry to send me away?
