Chapter 685: Chapter 685 Plan Failure 1

This side.

Shen Mianmian arrived near the address written on the note. This area of Licheng had not been developed yet, and there were some places she had never visited. Upon arrival, she discovered there was no coffee shop at all. Moreover, this place was only two streets away from Gu Jianbin’s house.

A bad feeling surged in her heart, and Shen Mianmian turned to leave. However, she had only taken a few steps before someone blocked her path.

Seeing the person blocking her way, Shen Mianmian’s face instantly turned cold, "Gu Jianli, what do you want to do?"

At this moment, she was absolutely sure that the note was written by Gu Jianli.

"Mianmian, I, I like you." Gu Jianli’s face turned red with nervousness.

This was his first time alone with Shen Mianmian, and finally, he had the chance to speak his heart to her.

"Get lost."

Shen Mianmian had no interest in listening to him talk. Another glance at him would make her sick.

"Mianmian."

As Shen Mianmian tried to bypass him, Gu Jianli reached out to grab her, "Mianmian, I truly like you. My family has a house in the city, we have money. If you agree to marry me, you won’t have to work in the city anymore and can live here."

Shen Mianmian swiftly dodged his hand, "Gu Jianli, if you keep this up, I’m going to call for help."

"Mianmian, don’t be afraid. I just want to take you to see my house. We really have a house in the city, it’s nearby." Gu Jianli knew he had nothing that would appeal to Shen Mianmian, but he had money. He believed that with money, he could marry any woman he wanted. He couldn’t believe Shen Mianmian would remain unmoved after seeing his house.

"Fine, I’ll go have a look with you. Don’t touch me. Lead the way in front of me!" Shen Mianmian suppressed the disgust welling up inside her, trying to stay calm. Gu Jianli had lured her out with such a scheme, surely he was up to no good. She needed to stay calm to deal with it. The more she resisted, the more extreme measures Gu Jianli would resort to.

"Good." Gu Jianli was delighted when Shen Mianmian agreed and immediately smiled while leading the way. He pointed to a road ahead, "Turn the corner up ahead, and you’ll see my house—it’s a two-story Western-style building."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mianmian devised a plan and deliberately said, "Your mother dotes on your brother so much, the Western-style building is probably reserved for him, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Jianli felt somewhat guilty, but quickly asserted firmly, "My brother will go to university and can buy his own house with the money he earns. This one is mine. I’m the eldest, the house should be mine to live in."

"Really? I think your parents definitely won’t bear to give the house to you. You’re not as outstanding as your brother. Without a house in the city, who would want to marry you in the future?" Shen Mianmian intentionally poked at Gu Jianli’s sore spot.

She understood Gu Jianli well. He couldn’t withstand provocation, was narrow-minded, and shared the same temperament as Wang Erfeng.

Originally, Gu Jianli didn’t want the house in the city. But Shen Mianmian’s words made him think otherwise.

The family was investing in his brother’s education, and he had nothing. If his brother also took the house in the city, how would he find a beautiful wife in the future?

He couldn’t let his parents be so unfair. The house had to be his.

Seeing him distracted, Shen Mianmian chose her route and ran for it. By the time Gu Jianli realized what was happening, Shen Mianmian had already sprinted several meters away.

His legs were not strong, so he couldn’t run fast nor catch up with Shen Mianmian. In the end, he could only stomp his foot in frustration and sigh as he returned home.

Zhou Siyu, who was waiting at the front door, saw Gu Jianli returning alone and came out from around the corner.
