"Why don't you come home with me to see my cat? "
"My cat can do backflips!"
Edith was completely speechless:
"Don't you have anything better to do? "
"Can you stop bothering me!"
Tony pretended to be aggrieved:
"I just want to spend more time with you, don't I?"
In Edith's eyes, Tony's rhetoric seemed particularly childish.
So, she had no intention of responding to him. Edith looked seriously at Tony:
"You're a good person, you helped me, and I'll help you in the future too, but we're still half strangers, it's better to keep some distance!"
Tony felt a sense of frustration towards a woman for the first time after being inexplicably given a "good person card" by Edith.
He was experienced with women and thought someone like Edith would definitely be easy to get.
But he completely didn't expect Edith to be so difficult to handle.
Tony became genuinely interested in Edith for the first time.
If his original intention of getting close to Edith was because of the company, then now his feelings towards her were different.
So, after being rejected over and over again, Tony's competitive spirit was completely provoked by Edith.
Before long, Edith would somehow receive some flowers for no reason.
At first, Edith didn't think much of it, assuming it was from some rejected pursuer.
But later as Tony appeared in front of Edith more and more often, Edith realized these were all Tony's doing.
One day, Tony drove an eye-catching sports car to Edith and rolled down the window. He whistled at Edith.
Edith frowned, :
"What are you up to again?"
Tony patted his car, "What do you think of the car I just got? Pretty cool, huh!"
Edith gave him a sweet smile and said, "Too cool!"
Tony was very satisfied. "Come on, let's go!"
Edith was a little confused, "Go where?"
Tony looked matter-of-fact: "Get in the car and let's go for a spin!"
A flashy sports car like this would definitely attract people's attention.
Tony figured if Edith had ignored him at first, it was probably because she thought he was just some poor student.
So, he deliberately brought the most expensive car to impress her this time.
Unexpectedly, Edith's expression kept changing and she directly refused: "You go for a spin yourself!"
After saying this, Edith turned to leave.
Seeing Edith about to leave, Tony became anxious. He quickly got out of the car and blocked her way.
"Can you just agree for once?"
After being rejected by Edith for so long, Tony was also a little unhappy.
When had a rich young master like himself ever been rejected by a woman so many times? Edith was the first.
Edith felt this was inexplicable: "Agree to what? To be with you?"
"I told you from the start, there's no possibility between us.
You don't need to keep pestering me. Seeing you saved me once;
I won't scold you.
Now drive your flashy car and go for a spin yourself!"
In Edith's eyes, Tony's overtures were particularly childish.
She couldn't be bothered with him at all.
Tony became anxious. He folded his arms in front of his chest and sized up Edith carefully.
"Are you even a woman?"
Edith laughed instead of getting angry:
"What do you think?
Do I look like a man?"
Tony was puzzled: "Then something's not right. Aren't women supposed to like handsome and rich men?
I feel like you're completely indifferent."
Edith sighed, "You're still too small. Liking someone is not just about saying it!"
Hearing this, Tony bristled like an angry cat and retorted immediately,
"No wait what !"
"What do you mean small!"
"You didn't try yet!"
"I am big!"
"You're the small one! Your whole family is small!"
..................
Edith was a little helpless: "So what do you like about me?"
Stumped by the question, Tony was speechless for a long time before squeezing out a fart.
"You're good-looking!"
Edith shook her head. "There are plenty of better-looking ones than me!"
"You have a good personality!"
Edith shook her head again. "I don't actually have a good personality. I do hit people when I get angry!"
Seeing Edith's sincere gaze, Tony didn't know what to say for a moment.
Not hearing Tony's next words for a long time, Edith patted his shoulder to comfort him, "We really don't suit each other.
Why hang yourself on a pomegranate tree? Wouldn't it be better to look for someone new and fresh?"
Edith had made it clear with her words that she was rejecting him.
But how could Tony possibly be willing to give up.
One reason was the company, the other was that he had genuinely developed some feelings for the woman before him.
Perhaps it was because of the shares, or perhaps it was curiosity, or competitiveness.
Anyway, Tony really wanted to pursue Edith this time.
Edith waved her hand and turned to leave.
As she left, she threw back a line: "Also, pursuing women like this at your age is quite childish!"
This line infuriated Tony.
When were his skills at pursuing women ever doubted before?
So he yelled at Edith's retreating figure in a hoarse voice, "Just you wait! I'm going to catch you today no matter what. One day you will fall for me!"
Watching Edith's disappearing figure, Tony fell into contemplation.
After leaving, Edith received a message from Ashley and finally revealed some joy on her face.
"Edith, come out and shop around with me, I'm bored to death!"
Edith was also feeling stifled internally, so she agreed to meet up with Ashley without a second thought.
As soon as Ashley saw Edith, she had a long face.
Edith smiled and rubbed her head: "What's wrong? What's on the young missy's mind? Could it be you've run into some trouble!"
Ashley sighed, "So many outrageous things have happened recently, let me tell you slowly!"
After saying this, Ashley entered a clothing store with Edith.
The two tried on clothes while complaining about the absurd things that had happened recently.
"Can't believe he actually got married. The grievances and entanglements between those two go all the way back to college!"
Edith was also quite surprised: "Let's just wish them well!"
"I went to a cafe the other day and got an extremely undrinkable coffee. It was their new item too. I'll be sure to avoid it in the future!"
Just as Edith was about to respond to Ashley's rambling, a sharp female voice suddenly came from the next fitting room.
"John? He's nothing. He just relies on his family's wealth and status for his current position!"
Hearing this, Ashley's expression changed.
She really didn't expect to hear someone trash-talking her fiancé even in the fitting room.
Edith's expression also turned extremely ugly.
But the voice from the next fitting room didn't stop!
"I've disliked him for a long time already. He puts on an elegant and gentle appearance, but who knows what he's actually like behind the scenes. It's said his family's company also has a lot of shady dealings!"
Hearing this, Edith suddenly remembered something. She tugged Ashley's sleeve.
"That voice is very familiar to me. It should be one of Ivy's followers!"
Ivy again!
Ashley was filled with indignation: "Those two did have some minor conflicts with me earlier. We never liked each other; I've wanted to curse them out for a long time!"
