Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 428 An Accident While Playing Golf

Judging from her persistent attempts to befriend her, Ming Shisui has a knack for pursuing people. The fact that she hasn't made any progress with Liu Bujing yet shows that she hasn't tried hard enough.

“Ming Shisui, you haven’t actually developed romantic feelings for him yet, and you’re quite cautious about relationships, so things aren’t progressing at all. Because you don’t like each other, there’s not even any ambiguity,” Yu Ru offered her opinion.

Ming Shi scratched his face. "Then... what should I do, baby? He's a really nice guy, and I really want him to be my boyfriend."

"Keep in touch with him first, and then probe his thoughts once you're more familiar with him. Ming Shi Sui, if marriage is part of your life plan, you should start making plans as early as possible. Getting married is like joining a good company and building your career. Once you've found the right person, seize the opportunity and make it happen. Take advantage of your youth now, look around and choose carefully. When you get older, there won't be many good options left; you'll mostly be the ones others have already rejected. Now is the best age; you have a wide range of choices. Have you looked at the list I sent you? If you don't click with Liu Bujing, you can look at others; I can help you make connections."

“I’ve seen it, baby.” Ming Shisui twirled his fingers. “I still like Liu Bujing the most. He seems the kindest, and… and he’s the most handsome.”

"Then you should be more attentive when you're with him."

……

Ming Shi had never played golf before, so Yu Ru decided to take her to try it out.

Most golfers come dressed casually, making their elaborate attire truly stand out. Therefore, their appearance on the golf course attracted considerable attention.

"Isn't that the woman in the purple dress Yun Jixing's new wife from the Yun family?" Wen Jingshu asked the person next to her, her eyes following Yu Ru's figure closely.

“Yes, Sister Jing Shu, I heard that the new wife is a top-notch gold digger who came out of retirement. She’s got some serious skills.” someone replied.

"How did she get so famous? I'm really curious about how she and Young Master Yun got together. I'd heard of her before, but I hadn't had much contact with her, and there was rarely any news about her. Now she's suddenly famous because of her marriage. I can't even imagine what kind of contact or interaction she had with Young Master Yun," another person said.

"She's not a gold digger, and she's always been famous; it's just that you haven't been in that circle." A woman sitting at the same table as them had met Yu Ru before and had a good impression of her, so she couldn't help but speak up to stop them from slandering Yu Ru like that. "Those people give her money because they have business dealings with her; it's a legitimate transaction, not gold digging. Besides, her education alone surpasses a lot of people; her resume is gilded. She doesn't need to gold digger; people will give her money willingly."

"What's her educational background?" one person asked with a disdainful look.

"A doctoral student, a graduate of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and the youngest doctoral graduate in the university's history. I heard she completed all her undergraduate courses in one year and then went straight to her doctoral program without any special requirements. She was only twenty-two when she graduated," said the woman who had spoken up for Yu Ru at the beginning.

Upon seeing this resume, the group of people sitting together exchanged glances. No one showed any disdain anymore, and they all shut their mouths and stopped criticizing Yu Ru. Only Wen Jingshu looked even more disgusted.

Neither Yu Ru nor Ming Shi knew how to play golf; they just slammed their shots around randomly, sending the ball flying wildly with every swing. After three or four rounds, they got bored and stopped playing.

"Honey, rich people like to play golf. I thought it would be so much fun. It's not fun at all. It's just hitting the air with a club."

“Then we…” Yu Ru was about to say we were done playing when she saw Liu Bujing standing to the side. Suddenly remembering something, she said to him, “Liu Bujing, you acted in a TV series where there was a scene where you played golf. Do you know how to play?”

Liu Bujing, who was suddenly called out, blushed and said, "Boss, I only know a little bit. I only know the swing posture, and I don't know anything else."

"That's enough. Teach Ming Shisui a bit; she doesn't know how to hold the stick."

"Okay." Liu Bujing nodded.

Yu Ru leaned closer to Ming Shi and patted her on the shoulder, whispering, "Study hard."

Afterwards, Yu Ru waited at the rest area, while Ming Shi followed Liu Bujing and played golf on the course.

With Liu Bujing's guidance, Ming Shisui managed to get the correct form. Although the ball still flew erratically, she was starting to look the part. She looked at Liu Bujing happily and said, "Brother Liu, you're amazing! I look like I know how to play now."

"Yes, you learn very quickly and are very capable," Liu Bujing replied with a smile.

"Brother Liu, is learning golf for free when filming?"

Liu Bujing nodded. "It's all free."

"Wow." Ming Shisui looked envious. "Filming seems like a great job. You can learn so many things for free."

Liu Bujing's smile faded slightly. "You can learn a lot, but you also have to endure a lot."

Upon hearing the second half of his sentence, Ming Shi guessed that he might be thinking about something unpleasant. She had also experienced workplace bullying and knew how unpleasant it was to be harassed at work. Seeing that his smile wasn't as cheerful anymore, she felt that he might be sad and subtly changed the subject.

"Brother Liu, after you learned golf, did you come to enjoy playing it?"

Liu Bujing shook her head slightly, "This sport is not suitable for me; it's a bit boring for me."

"Oh, I think so too."

As the two were talking, a sarcastic voice interrupted them, "Oh ho, Liu Bujing, so you've found a rich mother to take care of you?"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw three men standing in front of them, accompanied by two women dressed as caddies. Liu Bujing was stunned for a moment before remembering who the people in front of him were. Two of them were capitalists; his agent had taken him to a drinking party where they had implied that he wanted to sleep with them. He refused, and from then on, his already poor resources plummeted, and he encountered more and more accidents on film sets.

"What are you saying? Liu Bujing isn't being kept! He has a job!" Ming Shi stepped forward, blocking Liu Bujing's path. "You call someone's hard work a 'hidden fee'? Are you just jealous that others are happy?"

The man who spoke first saw that Ming Shisui was a stranger and he hadn't seen her before when he was in the industry, so he didn't take her seriously. "Ha~ What effort has he put in? He just acts in some low-class movies. He doesn't know what's good for him. Liu Bujing, you played along with me back then, but now you're in this mess. And you..." The man turned his gaze to Ming Shisui.

"Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?" He looked Ming Shisui up and down with disdain. "Are you here at the golf course pretending to be a socialite?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bujing bypassed Ming Shisui and stood in front of her. "Mr. Liu, please apologize to my friend. We were just playing golf normally on this course, and what we did is none of your business. Don't judge others; you have no right to do so."

"Haha." Another man laughed. "Why are you so temperamental now? Have you really found a backer?"
