Chapter 107 Requesting External Assistance
He's not a hot commodity, so why should she fight with Yu Jiaojiao over him? Since Yu Jiaojiao likes him so much, she should just give him to her; she doesn't care.
"I won't disturb your romantic time any longer."
As Chu Xinglan spoke, she left their side.
"Lanlan!" Seeing that Chu Xinglan was unmoved and had no intention of taking him away from Yu Jiaojiao, Xu Yang became anxious and reached out to grab Chu Xinglan, disregarding the presence of his fiancée.
"Xu Yang, what are you doing?" Yu Jiaojiao glared angrily at Xu Yang, who was holding someone else's hand.
"I..." Xu Yang searched his mind for a way to win back Chu Xinglan without offending Jiao Jiao.
Before he could even speak, Yu Jiaojiao angrily shoved Chu Xinglan.
"Chu Xinglan, have you no shame? Xu Yang is already engaged to me, and you're still trying to seduce him?"
"I seduced him?" Chu Xinglan laughed in anger. "Miss Yu, I didn't do or say anything. It's your good fiancé who's holding me back, okay?"
Yu Jiaojiao was speechless after being rebuked by Chu Xinglan. She could only glare at Xu Yang and say, "Xu Yang, let go of me."
Xu Yang saw that Yu Jiaojiao was really angry, so he let go of her hand.
Even if they were from equal family backgrounds, he would decisively choose Chu Xinglan over Yu Jiaojiao. However, Chu Xinglan's current attitude has made him uncertain. If she were still like a puppet in his hands as before, he could push Yu Jiaojiao away and be with her without any worries. But now Chu Xinglan is like a different person, with her own thoughts, and even ignores him. Therefore, he dares not do anything to hurt Yu Jiaojiao and block his path to marrying into a wealthy family.
Chu Xinglan saw Xu Yang's hesitation and completely lost her initial affection for him, leaving only disdain.
Who would have thought that this seemingly gentle and kind man was actually a complete playboy?
"Lanlan, even though we can't be lovers, we can still be friends, right? You used to..."
Xu Yang still wanted to make a final stand, after all, in terms of looks, Chu Xinglan was much prettier than Yu Jiaojiao.
Beautiful women and money—who doesn't love them?
"No, we're not on the same path, so it's best if we don't become friends," Chu Xinglan said calmly.
"Did you hear that, Xu Yang? Give up on her. This woman doesn't care about you anymore." Yu Jiaojiao laughed triumphantly, pulling Xu Yang away from Chu Xinglan like she was leading a dog.
Chu Xinglan turned around to walk forward, but almost bumped into Xiao Ze who was walking towards her.
Xiao Ze had been standing nearby the whole time and witnessed the entire incident.
"Your ex-boyfriend?" For some reason, Xiao Ze felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
"Yes." Chu Xinglan nodded, unable to deny this point.
"You like him?" Xiao Ze felt insulted. In what way was he inferior to that playboy? This little girl didn't like him, but liked that boy instead?
"I used to be blind, but now my eyesight is clear," Chu Xinglan said without hesitation.
"So, you dislike young male celebrities because of him?" Xiao Ze asked softly.
Chu Xinglan was stunned for a moment.
Thinking of what she had said at the internet cafe that day, she quickly explained, "No, I was just saying it casually that day."
Actually, she didn't really know what kind of person she liked. Did she like young, handsome men? Or older, more mature men? Maybe there's no absolute definition; it's just that the person she liked... happened to be that type.
For some reason, Gu Ye's image popped into Chu Xinglan's mind, and her face inexplicably flushed.
"So, you really didn't approach me because you were pursuing me?" Xiao Ze suddenly looked at Chu Xinglan with some nervousness. What was going on? At this moment, he actually wanted to hear Chu Xinglan say that she liked him.
"Of course not. I've already made it clear to you that I'm not pursuing you. I just want you to do things for me. Is it that hard to understand?" Chu Xinglan looked at Xiao Ze with a face full of doubt.
"It seems the clown is myself." Xiao Ze smiled awkwardly.
"Now that I understand, you won't refuse to help me, will you?" Chu Xinglan asked anxiously. "Look, I've already finished drawing on my sketch paper."
"I will naturally do what I promised you."
Xiao Ze took the drawing paper from Chu Xinglan and looked at it carefully this time.
"That's great, thank you, senior brother!" Chu Xinglan smiled brightly.
Xiao Ze turned to look at Chu Xinglan, feeling a flutter in his heart.
What's going on? Has he really fallen for her?
"Why do you want to find them? Are they your long-lost relatives?" Xiao Ze asked curiously.
"No." Chu Xinglan said this in an unusually cold tone.
Xiao Ze was stunned. This girl seemed to have a story.
"I still don't know your name. Can you tell me what your name is?"
"Chu Xinglan!"
"Chu Xinglan, okay, junior, I'll help you with this." Xiao Ze smiled slightly.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Ze took the sketch paper given to him by Chu Xinglan and returned to his residence. He turned on his computer and began to investigate the people in the sketch.
Xiao Ze worked on it for several hours, but still made no progress.
Thinking of Chu Xinglan's disappointed expression because he lost the sketch paper, Xiao Ze knew he couldn't help her find the people on the sketch paper. Wouldn't she be heartbroken? She was so anxious, even trying to please him, because this matter was very important to her. With this in mind, Xiao Ze didn't want to disappoint Chu Xinglan.
He worked on it until 1 a.m. without any results. Xiao Ze got up, quickly washed up in the bathroom, and then continued with his work.
He rubbed his temples, then suddenly remembered something and his expression brightened. He then searched through his QQ contacts and finally clicked on a chat box at the bottom: Senior, are you there?
I waited for a long time but there was no response.
Xiao Ze's expression fell again.
It really has taken too long...
Suddenly, a message popped up in the quiet chat box.
What is it?
Thank goodness, senior, I thought you never used QQ again.
Get to the point!
Here's the thing: I have a junior in elementary school who wants me to help her find a few people, but her conditions are very demanding—just a few sketches. I've been working on it all night, but I still have no clue what to do.
"You're dating someone, kid?"
【No, but... I think I'm a little interested in her.】 Xiao Ze typed this, a pure smile on his face.
[The little crybaby from back then has grown up.] The other person added a smiley face.
【Who's the crybaby? I'm not crying!】 Xiao Ze sent a series of frustrated emojis.
Send me the drawings, and I'll try to help you.
Thank you so much, senior! You're amazing!
