In the supermarket at the high-speed rail station, Qian Duoduo looked at this familiar man for a long time. After confirming it again and again, she mustered all her courage and said, "Hello, do you still remember that we were in the same car and I paid 600 yuan for you?"
The man stood lazily beside the refrigerator, his fingers holding half a Yuxi that was about to burn out. His eyes were calm, but the moment their eyes met, Qian Duoduo felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"So?"
Qian Duoduo was a little stunned. Shouldn't a normal person take the initiative to return the money to her or return her favor? Why didn't this person play by the rules?
"You... Did you forget?"
"I forgot, but I remembered when you said 600 yuan."
As long as he didn't forget.
Qian Duoduo heaved a sigh of relief. It didn't matter if he didn't understand the ways of the world. She could give him some advice.
"We Chinese people often say that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, right?"
The man's expression was normal as he nodded.
"Although 600 yuan isn't a huge sum of money, it's still something I've worked hard to earn. I've given you a week's worth of food expenses. This favor shouldn't be just a drop of water, right? But don't worry, I don't mean anything by saying this. I'm not asking you to pay up either…"
"So you want me to return you a spring?"
Qian Duoduo almost couldn't help but roll her eyes. Why was this person's brain circuit different from a normal person's? What did she want the spring for?
"It's like this. I have to get married immediately. I need a contractual husband. So, can you marry me?"
"..."
"I won't let you marry me for nothing. I can give you a reward. You don't have to fulfill any of a husband's obligations. You just have to help me put on a few acts in front of my family. I can give you a salary of 4,000 yuan a month. Of course, I won't take up too much of your time. After I've fooled my parents, I'll take the initiative to divorce you."
"You don't have anywhere to go now, right? After we get married, you can live in my house. It's a small apartment of about 60 square meters, and it has all the appliances and furniture. I'm usually busy with work, so I basically live in the company's dormitory. I go back at most two or three times a month, so I won't disturb you often."
"You can stay there for free. The only requirement is to keep the house clean. You can do whatever you want as long as it's not illegal."
Just as he was about to reject her outright, his gaze inadvertently swept across the necklace around her neck and he suddenly became interested in her suggestion. This necklace was the Chen family's heirloom. When he was five years old, his grandfather gave this necklace to an old friend and arranged a betrothal for him with the granddaughter of his grandfather's good friend.
If he remembered correctly, his grandfather's good friend's surname seemed to be Qian.
Before his grandfather passed away, the only thing that worried him was his marriage agreement with the Qian family. If he was not mistaken, her grandfather should be called Qian Fuyi.
Seeing that there was no response with the statement, Qian Duoduo began to think of ways to bluff him and introduce the benefits of marrying her.
"You're penniless now. You can't even afford a high-speed rail ticket. 4,000 yuan a month is enough to solve most of the problems in your current life. It can also ensure that you eat well and wear well. I won't ask for anything too much from you. I just need you to accompany me and act as a loving couple in front of my parents. You won't lose out on this deal no matter how you calculate it."
Penniless? Chen Shu subconsciously looked down at his clothes today. He was wearing a custom-made suit from a luxury brand, a white shirt of good quality, and a watch worth a car on his wrist. How did he look like a penniless poor man?
There was something wrong with her brain… Or was there something wrong with her eyes?
But then again, the girl in front of him had successfully aroused his curiosity.
"You can continue."
Seeing that the other party did not reject her, Qian Duoduo's originally nervous little face subconsciously smiled.
"You don't have to be nervous. Even if we're married, you don't have to treat me as your wife. Just treat me as your... colleague will do. I won't contact you usually. You only need to accompany me home to visit my parents on weekends. I will pay for all the expenses of accompanying me home. If you can make my parents happy, I'll give you some bonuses as encouragement. What do you think?"
Chen Shu was even more curious about the girl in front of him.
"I can marry you, but I just want to ask you why… Why are you in such a hurry to get married?"
At the mention of this, Qian Duoduo sighed. She had a boyfriend some time ago. She had been in a relationship with that man for three years. Before the New Year last year, he even invited Qian Duoduo to visit his parents in his hometown. Who would have thought that the boyfriend she had been together for three years was a gigolo?
After the freeloader tricked her into going to the countryside with his flowery words, he brought her to the village to show off the beautiful wife he had found in the capital. He kept calling her 'baby' and coaxed her into buying expensive gifts for his relatives.
In just one month, he had cheated Qian Duoduo of all her savings.
The worst part was that he didn't want to improve himself. He stayed at home all day playing games, and didn't have any intention of going out to work.
As an independent woman of the new era, Qian Duoduo only adhered to one principle - you can lie to my people, but you can't lie to my money.
Even if she had to spend money to eliminate the calamity, Qian Duoduo had seen through the man's disguise and left him without looking back.
Before the New Year, she had patted her chest and promised her parents that she would bring her husband home tomorrow.
Her parents even spent a lot of money to hire a chef from a five-star hotel to give her a grand wedding. There was less than a day left. Where was she going to find a man who was willing to marry her?
If her parents knew that she had broken up with her boyfriend, they would definitely arrange a blind date for her. She was so busy with work that she didn't even have time to sleep. How could she have the time and energy to face her parents?
Therefore, she decided to find a pauper to pretend to be her husband.
She originally planned to keep this matter to herself and never tell it to anyone for the rest of her life. However, since she had decided to cooperate, she could only give up her dignity and tell him everything that had happened.
Chen Shu listened to her quietly and confirmed his guess. She was Qian Fuyi's granddaughter. However, he was a little puzzled. Why did Qian Duoduo choose him out of all the people?
"Then why did you choose me to marry you?" Actually, what he was curious about was if they hadn't run into each other, would she have just randomly picked a man in the high-speed rail station and proposed to him?
Qian Duoduo blinked and decided to tell the truth.
"First of all, your face can be used to support me when I bring it home. Secondly, I've made an appointment with my parents to go home tomorrow. In this unfamiliar place, I won't be able to find anyone else in a day. I only know you. Most importantly, you are penniless now. You don't even have the money to buy a high-speed rail ticket. You definitely need money. You need money, and I need people. Aren't we hitting it off?"
There was also another thing that Qian Duoduo was too embarrassed to tell him. It was because she felt that this man was so poor that she could support him. Her monthly salary was close to 10,000 yuan, which was enough to cover his living expenses.
Chen Shu felt a little complicated. He thought that the other party was interested in his wealth or his identity as the richest man. He did not expect that the other party only thought that he was a homeless man who lacked money and was somewhat beautiful.
In fact, this matter was a mistake. His secretary had sent him the wrong location. He had originally planned to go to the airport to take a private jet, but he had accidentally arrived at the high-speed rail station. There was something wrong with the card system at the high-speed rail station. He tried all the bank cards but they didn't work.
Just as he was about to call his secretary to send the money, Qian Duoduo took the initiative to pay the 600 yuan ticket for him. Chen Shu felt that this little girl looked harmless and was embarrassed to reject her good intentions, so he did not reject her.
"If you have anything else you want to know or are curious about, you can ask me."
"One more thing, where did you buy your necklace?"
"I didn't buy it. My grandfather gave it to me when I was young."
"Your grandfather's name?"
"Qian Fuyi."
Chen Shu nodded. It was indeed that little girl from back then. He had been looking for her for three years, but today, he had coincidentally met her at the high-speed rail station. Perhaps this was fate.
Even if she didn't say it, for the sake of his grandfather's last wish and the agreement between the two families, he would definitely find her and marry her, even if they had never met.
He was an indifferent person, and his family situation was complicated. He had never dreamed of love. Therefore, he did not have any unrealistic fantasies about marriage. He did not have any unwillingness or dislike to marry Qian Duoduo because the two of them were going to get married anyway.
However, in order to avoid trouble, he would not take the initiative to expose this layer of window paper. Let him quietly complete his grandfather's last wish.
Moreover, he didn't think that this silly little girl in front of him was suitable to get along with his family. Especially his grandmother. If she knew about her existence, she would definitely… Anyway, it was better to avoid trouble.
