Chapter 12: Miss Xia, I Advise You Not to Waste Your Efforts

Several dozen seconds later, Gu Zhaojing replied again: “This is my first time meeting her today. She was very polite to Brother Tao, and she seems like a decent person.”
Jiang Heming smiled in sudden understanding and delight, then texted back: “I’m not looking to fool around. I want to get to know her first! That’s enough about me—I’m accompanying her while she buys a car. You should hurry up and settle things with Yanyu, too.”
He put away his phone and walked over to Xia Huajiao. “How is it? Everything all right?”
Just then, the cashier handed Xia Huajiao the card machine’s keypad. She took it without paying Jiang Heming any attention, turned her phone upright to avoid blocking the livestream, quickly entered the password, and paid the full price for the car—more than 1.3 million yuan.
So this was what it felt like to be a wealthy tycoon: the thrill of spending a fortune on a beautiful car. It felt absolutely fantastic!
Even the smiles on the cashier’s and Little Chen’s faces seemed especially pleasing.
She glanced back at the livestream. Sure enough, the viewers were showering her with virtual flowers as well.
“Beautiful Lili”: [Sister Jiao is buying a luxury car for a handsome guy! The luxury car is here, and so is the handsome guy! Come on, for the handsome guy’s sake, send her ten yachts!]
“Gold Hunter”: [What a pity the gorgeous guy didn’t come along. I hate that fake childhood sweetheart!]
[This is my first time watching someone buy a luxury car during a livestream. Sister Jiao looks gorgeous paying for it! Please notice me!]
[Please. The person above must be new here, right? Sister Jiao’s livestream is only for people with good taste!]
At that moment, the cheap one-yuan bouquet gifts surged to 3,243, breaking Xia Huajiao’s previous record!
Xia Huajiao was ecstatic. The curve of her lips had become impossible to suppress. When the cashier handed her the receipt, she happily held it up toward the livestream and waved.
“Thank you, babies, for your support! That’s all for today’s car-buying livestream. I’ll come back this afternoon when I pick up the car and decide whether or not to livestream, depending on how I feel! Bye-bye, love you all!”
She ended the livestream with a radiant smile, then turned to Jiang Heming, who was watching her with an amused smile. “Thank you! But coming all the way here with me must have been boring for you.”
Her delicate features, paired with that carefree, delighted smile, looked especially bright and dazzling beneath the sunlight.
Jiang Heming stared blankly for a moment, and his heart gave another rare flutter.
Infected by her happiness, he smiled sincerely. “Watching you livestream outdoor activities is much more entertaining than watching Brother Tao’s indoor streams!”
“Really?” Xia Huajiao asked, delighted.
“Yes!” Jiang Heming nodded firmly, his gaze gentle. “I’m not lying to you.”
“Thank you!” Xia Huajiao said from the heart.
In that case, whenever she was in the mood, she would do more outdoor livestreams in the future.
Jiang Heming smiled indulgently again. “No need to thank me. Shall we go back to the showroom together now? Let’s see what car Yanyu chose!”
Xia Huajiao thought it over briefly, then accepted readily. “All right!”
She wanted a few more chances to admire the handsome man’s beautiful face.

However, when Xia Huajiao and Jiang Heming returned to the showroom together, they saw Gu Zhaojing taking a phone call several dozen meters away, while Mo Yanyu sat alone at the consultation table, looking aggrieved.
Jiang Heming had just been about to walk over when his phone rang.
Xia Huajiao smiled tactfully. “Go ahead and answer it first.”
She walked toward Mo Yanyu. “What’s wrong? Miss Mo still hasn’t chosen a car?”
Seeing that Jiang Heming had also walked away to take his call, Mo Yanyu glared at Xia Huajiao with unmistakable hostility. “Miss Xia, have you already bought the red 740?”
“Yes.” Xia Huajiao nodded calmly.
Mo Yanyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, a chilly glint of displeasure flickering within them. “Then why have you come back here? What, meeting Brother Heming wasn’t enough? You still want to keep chatting with Brother Zhaojing?”
At that, Mo Yanyu lifted her delicate chin angrily, her voice carrying a hint of arrogance. “Miss Xia, although you can afford a 740 and may have some money to spare, Brother Zhaojing isn’t Brother Heming. Zhaojing has never liked interacting with unfamiliar girls. I advise you not to waste your effort.”
Xia Huajiao stared at her possessive manner in astonishment, finding it both absurd and amusing.
This girl clearly had not figured out the situation, yet she was already so jealous.
Her gaze shifted, and Xia Huajiao shot back disdainfully, “You’re only his classmate’s younger sister, not his girlfriend. What right do you have to interfere in his love life?”
Mo Yanyu fell silent, her pretty face flushed with indignation. Xia Huajiao then added fuel to the fire.
“I only came here to buy a car. But your Brother Zhaojing really is very handsome. If I get the chance to become friends with him, I’d be happy to.”
Mo Yanyu’s gaze sharpened, her red lips pressing tightly together as her anger deepened. Xia Huajiao continued twisting the knife.
“Oh, originally I didn’t care whether I bought this model in red or white. If you had agreed earlier to let your Brother Zhaojing buy the red one, and since it was your birthday gift, I could have done you a favor and chosen white.”
Mo Yanyu froze, disbelief appearing in her eyes. Xia Huajiao deliberately continued, “But you insisted on targeting me and even wanted to change the model. So, I’m sorry—I had no choice but to strike first.”
With that, Xia Huajiao spread her hands smugly. Seeing Mo Yanyu’s pretty face turn livid with rage, she felt immensely satisfied and turned away proudly.
Then she realized that, at some point, Jiang Heming and Gu Zhaojing had come to within a few steps behind her. They were looking at her in surprise.
Apparently, they had heard what she said.
She had no idea whether they had heard everything or only the latter part.
Xia Huajiao glanced at Gu Zhaojing somewhat guiltily.
His eyes were as calm as the sea.
He was still extremely handsome.
It was a pity that, although she greatly appreciated his striking appearance, she had said those things purely to annoy his childhood sweetheart.
Besides, he was hardly the only top-tier handsome man in the world.
Only if he dealt with his childhood sweetheart’s constant interference and then took the initiative to pursue her would she reluctantly consider whether she wanted to date him.

In an instant, Xia Huajiao’s face grew hot. She forced herself to remain composed and waved a hand. “You’ve finished your calls? Then goodbye! Thank you both for letting me test-drive the car with you this time. If we get the chance to meet again, I’ll treat you to dinner! Bye-bye!”
There were still two hours before she could pick up the car, and it was already approaching half past eleven.
That meant she could enjoy a lavish lunch first, then go shopping to her heart’s content!
Watching Xia Huajiao leave so decisively, without the slightest trace of reluctance, Gu Zhaojing’s usually tranquil eyes briefly flashed with admiration.
Jiang Heming’s eyes, however, revealed a trace of reluctance.
She had taken only a dozen or so steps when she heard Gu Zhaojing’s voice from behind, as calm as ever.
“Hurry up and sign the contract. I’ll pay your brother on your behalf. Heming will help you pick up the car later and drive you home. I have to return to school.”
Mo Yanyu responded in surprise, “Brother Zhaojing, you still have to go back to school?”
His voice was slightly cold this time. “It isn’t the weekend today. Of course I have to return to school.”
Return to school?
Could he be a teacher?
But that had nothing to do with her.
Then she heard Jiang Heming sigh helplessly. “Yanyu, you really need to hurry. I’ve already made plans to have afternoon tea with a beautiful woman.”
Xia Huajiao felt even more pleased.
The handsome men, both big and small, had not been fooled by their childhood sweetheart. Excellent!
She happily withdrew the money she had earned from the livestream gifts, walked out of the showroom, and hailed a Didi. After spending twenty yuan on the fare, she arrived at MixC Mall in a little over twenty minutes.
This was a gathering place for the world’s luxury brands, and most of the customers coming and going had hundreds of thousands of yuan in disposable income.
They said that even a single meal here cost at least several hundred yuan per person.
In the past, she had only come to wander around and had never lingered in front of any store. Now, however, she walked steadily into the cool, spacious plaza.
She was just preparing to go to the third floor to find a fine restaurant for lunch when Little Chen called anxiously.
“Miss Xia, I’m sorry, but there’s something concerning your car that I’d like to discuss with you.”
Xia Huajiao was slightly surprised. “What is it?”
