How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 333 - 159: It Feels Great to Be the Villain..._2

For those accustomed to luxurious lives, asking them to eat at a street stall is indeed hard to accept. It’s not pretentiousness, but simply a matter of habit...

Yet Gu Heng exhibited two extremes...

On one hand, he possessed the lifestyle of the wealthy, and as a superior, he could command his subordinates with vigor and power, giving people an air of unapproachability...

On the other hand, he was like any ordinary man in his twenties, down-to-earth and without a hint of arrogance...

The more Jiang Ruxue thought about it, the deeper her gaze became, to the point where even her eating motions subconsciously stopped...

Seeing that she had ceased eating and was staring at him, Gu Heng, who was heartily enjoying his meal across from her, couldn’t help but touch his own face, puzzled, "Do I have food on my face?"

Snapped out of her reverie by Gu Heng’s interruption, Jiang Ruxue shook off her daze...

Her previously calm expression faltered for a second before she gradually regained her usual quiet demeanor, softly shaking her head to indicate nothing was wrong.

Gu Heng didn’t bother delving deeper, shook his head in bewilderment at Jiang Ruxue’s strange behavior, and continued eating...

Suddenly...

A gentle male voice rose from beside the two of them.

"Ruxue?"

As the voice sounded, Gu Heng and Jiang Ruxue both looked up, turning their attention to the young man who had spoken...

The young man appeared to be just over twenty, and perhaps because he saw Jiang Ruxue, he wore a joyful smile on his face. As for his attire...

He was dressed in simple casual clothes and wore frameless glasses. Not only was his voice soft and pleasant, but his entire aura was scholarly and elegant...

In all honesty, if one were to judge based on looks and presence alone, this young man was indeed superior to Gu Heng.

At the sound of the voice, Jiang Ruxue couldn’t help but frown. She remained silent, not even sparing him an extra glance, and continued to eat...

Having been ignored, the average person would probably leave with an embarrassed smile under normal circumstances...

But this young man seemed accustomed to Jiang Ruxue’s attitude, showing no awkwardness as he directly took a seat next to her. He kept a graceful demeanor and said, "Ruxue, I heard from Chen Shuining in your dorm that you’ve started an internship. Which company is it? I’m currently interning at Jing Dong headquarters, and I’m on good terms with my superiors. How about I put in a word for you, and then you come to Jing Dong? Jing Dong is one of the Fortune 500 companies, and securing an A+ in the internship is a bonus for future Masters or PhD studies."

Jiang Ruxue ignored him and set down her spoon, looking up at Gu Heng across the table, "Mr. Gu, I’ve finished eating, but I’ve realized that I haven’t completed the task assigned to me by Director Shu. I’d like to go to the office this afternoon and put in some extra work. Would you have the time to give me a ride?"

Gu Heng was no longer inexperienced in matters of love...

As a womanizer who was involved with internet celebrities, stars, and the business circle, Gu Heng was very clear about the intentions and actions of this young man before him...

Even if he wasn’t a simp, he was definitely pursuing Jiang Ruxue...

Jiang Ruxue’s actions were straightforward...

Putting aside whether she actually wanted to work overtime, given her personality, she would not normally ask him to give her a ride. Now that Jiang Ruxue had spoken up, it was obvious that she wanted to use him as a shield...

Though Gu Heng was interested in Jiang Ruxue, he never had the habit of taking bullets for others, and his first instinct was to refuse...

But, seeing that plea hidden within her always indifferent demeanor, he hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, but you’ll have to wait for me to finish eating."

The young man beside them reacted as though he had seen a ghost, his eyes widened in disbelief, scanning back and forth between Gu Heng and Jiang Ruxue...

In her three years at university, aside from minimal interaction with her roommates, Jiang Ruxue rarely spoke to her classmates...

And yet today, she was taking the initiative to ask someone to give her a ride?

At this thought, the young man was struggling to accept it...

He had pursued Jiang Ruxue for three years, and in all that time, the number of words they had exchanged probably didn’t exceed ten...

But he hadn’t minded before...

Not because he was particularly devoted, but because Jiang Ruxue was like that with everyone...

What’s that saying?

Do not worry about scarcity, but rather about uneven distribution...

A woman he had pursued for three years who had never favored him was now willingly asking another man, whom he had never seen before, to take her...

In an instant, his psyche began to wobble...

Yet, for the sake of maintaining his composure in front of Jiang Ruxue, the young man could only muster a smile and asked Gu Heng, "Which department are you from, classmate? How come I don’t recognize you? Let me introduce myself, my name is Du Feng, Ruxue’s classmate."

Peking University’s elite...

Pride of the heavens...

If this were the past, Gu Heng would definitely be interested in getting to know him...

But now...

Forget it...

Setting aside the fact that they were rivals in love...

Just on the basis of social status and position, they were worlds apart; there was no need to get acquainted...

With this in mind, Gu Heng quickly finished the last bite of his meal, stood up, and said to Jiang Ruxue, "I’m done eating, let’s go.

Does this lunchbox need to be tossed in the trash can?"

Jiang Ruxue had risen from her seat the moment Gu Heng stood up. Hearing his question, she shook her head, "No need, there will be a cleaner coming by to take care of it later."

Then, as if something had occurred to her, she took out a packet of tissues from her pocket, pulled out one, and handed it to Gu Heng, "Wipe your mouth."

Her tone was devoid of any intimacy, instead carrying a detached politeness...

But this very scene was enough to fracture Du Feng’s composure...

However, neither Gu Heng nor Jiang Ruxue noticed his expression...
