Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2258 - 2194: Cannot Become Enemies

With a disdainful snort, Gao Wei repeated his demand, "Where is your boss? Have her come out; I intend to speak with her in person."

Another visitor requesting the boss?

Lately, there had been quite a few individuals asking for her.

However, the boss would be far too overwhelmed if she granted a meeting to every person who walked through the door making such a request.

Keeping a polite smile on her face, the shop assistant replied, "I am sorry, but our boss is currently not on the premises."

"Then give her a call and tell her to get over here. It doesn't matter, I can wait for her right here."

"We do not have a telephone in this store."

Gao Wei froze for a moment.

So impoverished they don't even own a phone? Had he wasted his time coming here today?

Just as he was contemplating telling them to send a messenger to fetch her, he spotted the very person he longed to see walking in alongside a man.

It was Du Jinruo.

Who was the man standing next to her?

From his appearance, the man seemed significantly older than himself, didn't he?

Initially, Gao Wei assumed the stranger was one of Du Jinruo's relatives. However, having pursued her for numerous years, he was familiar with almost every member of her family, yet he had never encountered this man before.

At that moment, Du Jinruo tilted her head slightly to address the man.

Gao Wei caught her expression.

He had witnessed Du Jinruo looking at someone with that specific gaze once before: Meng Xinian.

Yes, it was that exact same look.

Therefore, this man was definitely not a family member or an Elder.

Gao Wei’s heart skipped a beat as he stood up abruptly.

"Xiao Ruo."

The only reason Du Jinruo had successfully persuaded the man to accompany her today was his genuine fondness for the snacks served here.

Despite it being a mere stroke of luck, she felt incredibly joyful.

She had imagined they would share a table, engage in pleasant conversation, enjoy some tea, and deepen their connection, but she never anticipated running into Gao Wei.

What was Gao Wei doing here? And why was he alone?

"Gao Wei."

Even though Du Jinruo had consistently turned Gao Wei down due to her lack of feelings for him, the Elders in her family had cautioned her. They advised that regardless of the circumstances, it was best to avoid a total falling out with him.

After all, neither family wished to become rivals over the friction between the two of them.

Consequently, when she faced Gao Wei, Du Jinruo managed to force a smile, despite her obvious reluctance.

"Who is this?" Gao Wei demanded, his eyes immediately shifting to the man beside her.

Du Jinruo found Gao Wei’s domineering temperament utterly repulsive.

Furthermore, she shared no romantic ties with him, so she didn't understand why he constantly confronted her. Every time he saw her with another man, he behaved as though he were catching her in an act of infidelity.

Du Jinruo’s smile grew increasingly tense.

"Jinruo, aren't you going to introduce us?"

The man spoke up as well.

A sense of dread filled Gao Wei; he was well aware that Du Jinruo was attracted to men with deep, resonant voices, such as Meng Xinian or this individual.

Only after the man prompted her did Du Jinruo speak. "Let me introduce you. This is Gao Wei. Gao Wei, this is Kevin."

Hearing the name, Gao Wei let out a mocking laugh.

"A Western name?"

"Kevin only recently returned from overseas."

"A fake foreigner, then? Well, if life abroad is so magnificent that it convinced you to adopt a Western name, why bother coming back? You should have just stayed there," Gao Wei snorted, his disapproval plain to see.

Given Du Jinruo’s background, going abroad would likely be difficult for her, but what if this fake foreigner intended to remain in the country?

At this moment, his only goal was to drive this Kevin away as quickly as possible.

That face was simply too irritating.

Du Jinruo felt a surge of annoyance. "Gao Wei, mind your manners."
