Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2409 - 2345: Definitely Has No Good Feelings Toward Him

Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Ji Yuzhi shared details of Hu Xiangyong's past with Chiang Xiao, mentioning his brief marriage that ended with his wife's death from illness, though Chiang Xiao harbored quiet doubts about the tale. During their conversation, Chiang Xiao firmly refused to sell her self-portrait to Hu for the high commission offered, proposing instead to paint a landscape from his photo for fifty thousand, citing her aversion to displaying her image publicly. Ji Yuzhi laughed at Chiang Xiao's terse assessment of Hu as whiskery and wealthy, before earnestly asking if she believed Hu harbored feelings for her.

"Teacher Ji, I've encountered him just twice altogether, only twice! How could I possibly tell if he has feelings for you? To be frank, I'd rather question how long you two have been seeing each other. What kinds of activities do you share? How well do you actually know him? Why rely on me to figure out his affection when you should be able to sense it yourself?"

Once she finished, she stepped back a short distance, spun around to face Ji Yuzhi again, and let out a heavy sigh before adding, "Teacher Ji, you ought to reflect on your own reasons for wanting to pair up with him. Remember, marriage is no small matter, particularly for us women, so proceed with caution. Avoid settling for less simply because age is creeping up, and steer clear of picking a guy you don't fully grasp due to a fleeting urge."

What drives Ji Yuzhi to rush into a relationship with Hu Xiangyong so swiftly?

Could it stem from his wealth?

Or perhaps that fellow possesses an irresistible allure?

Fine, she concedes that without her keen instincts and prior knowledge of his true nature, she might also view him as brimming with appeal and highly enticing to ladies.

Moreover, dropping a fifty thousand offer without hesitation only sweetens the deal.

Allure, riches.

For Ji Yuzhi, these could indeed prove an irresistible pull.

Were it not for Chiang Xiao's belief that Ji Yuzhi is truly a good person, she wouldn't have shared all these thoughts with her.

All she desires is for Ji Yuzhi to pause, collect her thoughts, and weigh the situation properly.

In Chiang Xiao's view, linking up with a guy like him is bound to lead to trouble.

Ji Yuzhi stared vacantly at Chiang Xiao as she walked away.

Although Chiang Xiao held back from stating it outright, Ji Yuzhi isn't naive. She senses that Chiang Xiao keeps dodging any positive remarks about Hu Xiangyong, not uttering even a single word of praise.

Nor did she voice any criticisms.

Yet it's obvious that Chiang Xiao holds no positive view of him.

What's the reason behind that?

Ji Yuzhi struggles to comprehend it.

At the airport earlier, Hu Xiangyong fretted over her traveling home solo in the dark and offered to accompany her, which she turned down.

From that gesture alone, shouldn't she inspire some appreciation and perhaps a better opinion?

Apparently not.

On this occasion, Hu Xiangyong showed up at the school in person and proposed such a generous sum, but it failed to sway Chiang Xiao or earn her admiration for his openhandedness?

It's truly baffling.

Ji Yuzhi mulled it over without resolution, but glancing at the clock revealed her meeting with Hu Xiangyong was approaching. She freshened up quickly and dashed over to the nearby Fuxi Restaurant.

Hu Xiangyong had arrived ahead of her.

Despite it being only the pair of them for the meal, Hu Xiangyong booked an exclusive room.

"Sorry, did I keep you waiting?" Spotting Hu Xiangyong seated there already left Ji Yuzhi somewhat sheepish, worried he might feel annoyed or irritated.

In truth, she arrived right on schedule.

"Not at all, I got here moments ago. I always aim to show up five minutes before the set time," Hu Xiangyong replied.

He gave Ji Yuzhi a quick once-over.

On this day, Ji Yuzhi looked striking in a tailored navy blue dress with a fitted collar, complemented by sleek black loafers, radiating a quiet sophistication.

Undoubtedly, this lady shines when she puts effort into her appearance.

A subtle intensity flickered in Hu Xiangyong's eyes.

"What do you fancy eating? They say the dishes here are excellent."
