Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The Strange Woman

"What, are you surprised to see me?"

Yin Ruxue, however, looked perfectly calm, even wearing a faint smile.

"Surprised? Of course not. The heavens are truly looking out for me, letting me run into you of all people!"

As he spoke, Jiang Fan cracked his knuckles and took two steps closer.

"What are you doing? Let me tell you, assault is illegal!"

Yin Ruxue’s beautiful eyes stared coldly at Jiang Fan.

"You think I’m an idiot? Hitting you would just dirty my hands!"

With that, Jiang Fan pointed a finger at Yin Ruxue’s nose. "So what if you’re rich? You think you can just order people around? Let me tell you, I’m not just anybody..."

"Aren’t you curious why I’m here?"

Yin Ruxue cut him off with a question of her own.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Jiang Fan didn’t get it at first. About ten seconds later, he seemed to realize something. "You... what’s your name?"

"Yin Ruxue."

"What? You... you’re Xue?"

The moment he heard that, it all clicked for Jiang Fan. "You’re the one who had that guy Wu Qiang trick me into coming here?"

"Who tricked you? I transferred him a hundred yuan, and he said he could convince you to come," Yin Ruxue said with her arms crossed.

"What the hell? He sold me out for a hundred yuan?"

Jiang Fan nearly fainted from anger. "No, I’m going back to settle the score with him!"

"Wait, what about the job..."

"Forget it! I’ve had enough of you. Even if you offered me all the money in the world, I would never sell my dignity!"

With that, Jiang Fan turned to leave.

But just then, Yin Ruxue pulled a thick stack of cash from her bag and tossed it onto the table.

"Er..."

Jiang Fan instinctively glanced at the stack of bills, and his feet suddenly felt rooted to the spot, unable to move.

That stack had to be at least thirteen or fourteen thousand.

"What’s wrong? Weren’t you just leaving?" Yin Ruxue sneered.

"No, I just... suddenly feel like there might have been a misunderstanding between us?" Jiang Fan said with an awkward laugh.

"There was no misunderstanding. You were late with the delivery, and then you dropped the cake, which messed up my plans. Was I wrong to complain?"

Every word Yin Ruxue said was reasonable, leaving Jiang Fan unable to argue.

"Um, Xue, I didn’t mean anything by it, it’s just... your attitude..." He gave a sheepish smile.

"You were the one in the wrong first. Was I supposed to smile while talking to you?" Yin Ruxue retorted.

"Yes, you’re right about everything."

Jiang Fan shrugged. ’Who can I blame? I’m the one who’s broke right now. For the sake of the money, I won’t bicker with a woman.’

He then changed the subject. "By the way, Xue, what kind of job do you have? Let me see if I can do it."

"Not so fast. Stand up first," Yin Ruxue said coldly.

"Huh?"

Although Jiang Fan was a little confused, he stood up.

"Turn around."

"Oh, okay."

Jiang Fan spun around again. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Yin Ruxue staring intently at him.

’Damn it, this dame hasn’t taken a liking to me, has she?’

’She’s not actually looking for a toyboy, is she?’

’No way! I’m not sacrificing my body for a little over ten thousand!’

"Alright, come sign the contract."

Yin Ruxue waved her hand and pulled a document out of her bag.

"Huh? So soon?"

Jiang Fan was stunned for a few seconds, then walked over and began to read the document carefully.

It was an employment contract, five pages long in total. But after reading through it all, Jiang Fan couldn’t find what the job position was. The only thing specified was the monthly salary: fifteen thousand.

Furthermore, the most frequently stated requirement in the entire contract was to simply follow the employer’s instructions and not ask too many questions.

"Xue, what exactly is this job?" Jiang Fan asked, completely puzzled.

"It’s simple. Picking up and dropping off my daughter," Yin Ruxue replied.

"Oh, so a chauffeur."

Jiang Fan had a moment of realization. "But I need to say this upfront: I have a driver’s license, but I’m not familiar with the car. If I scratch it, I can’t afford to pay for the damages."

"Who said you’d be the driver?" Yin Ruxue frowned.

"You said picking up and dropping off a child. Isn’t that what a driver does?" Jiang Fan said.

"If I were hiring a driver, do you think I would have sought you out?" Yin Ruxue replied coldly.

"Then what do you mean? If you look down on me so much, why did you ask me to come here in the first place? This is ridiculous!"

Jiang Fan felt like she was just toying with him, and he immediately turned to leave.

"This job is more comfortable than being a driver. You’d work twenty days a month, two hours a day..."

"Miss, Miss, why didn’t you say so sooner? It was all a misunderstanding, wasn’t it?"

Hearing this, Jiang Fan, who had only walked about ten feet away, immediately turned back. "So, what will I be doing, exactly? Just picking up and dropping off your daughter?"

"Don’t ask what you’re not supposed to. You’ll find out when the time comes," Yin Ruxue said with a cold expression.

"Miss, as long as it’s not illegal, I’ll sign right now," Jiang Fan said hurriedly.

’He’d even be willing to be a toyboy, since the dame in front of him was truly stunning.’

’Of course, he knew that was impossible.’

’After all, the world might be lacking in many things, but men weren’t one of them.’

’With Yin Ruxue’s looks, she wouldn’t even have to pay for a toyboy; men would be lining up for free.’

"By the way, before you sign, there’s something I need to ask you about," Yin Ruxue said.
