Gu Nian was speechless. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said in a much gentler tone, “Then send me your location and I’ll pick you up. Also, don’t cry. You’re crying like a woman.”

Xing Su wiped her tears and was still crying. “I’m a woman to begin with!”

City H was brightly lit at night. Behind them was a huge central square. The music fountain danced lightly to the tune. Xing Su’s eyes were swollen from crying. Through the music fountain, she saw a group of people walking out of the business hotel opposite of her. All of them were dressed in suits and leather shoes. One of them was especially eye-catching. He was the tallest in the crowd. He was 1.88 meters tall and had long legs. His suit pants wrapped around his long legs, making him soundlessly abstinent’. His face was also good-looking. He was Xing Su’s favorite type of man.

After a while, the most eye-catching man was escorted into a black Bentley and slowly disappeared. Xing Su sobbed again, thinking that she must such find such a man to slap that guy’s face!

Her cell phone rang a few times. Xing Su thought that it was a message from Gu Nian, but when she looked down, she saw that it was a WeChat message. There were three messages. The first was a video. The video was fixed on Jiang Li’s feigned intoxication expression. Although she felt disgusted, Xing Su still pressed play.

The video should have been taken previously. Jiang Li was wearing a long white dress. Behind her was the famous J Corporation building. A breeze blew past, and Jiang Li’s hair fluttered in the video. She pointed behind her enthusiastically and blushed. “Do you see this? This building belongs to my uncle. My uncle’s surname is Jiang.” With that, the camera flashed and Jiang Li pounced into his arms. She looked up. “Zhou Chen, I love you so much…” The video finally stopped at the scene of the two of them kissing.

After the video ended, the next two messages were voice messages. Xing Su opened them with trembling hands. “Xing Su, I’m sorry. I’ve thought about breaking up for a long time. To be honest, I still love you, but as you can see, you’ll never be able to give me what Jiang Li can give me. I’m a child from a single-parent family. I’m afraid of hardship. If I’m with Jiang Li, I can save 10 to 20 years of hard work. I really can’t reject her.”

Xing Su could reluctantly accept this reason. She could not stop others from climbing up, but the next voice message disgusted her. “Xing Su, do you believe me? I didn’t make this choice for myself. You know my ability. As long as I can step into J Corporation, it won’t be long before I make some achievements. At that time, if you’re still willing, we can continue to be together…”

After hearing this, Xing Su suddenly felt that she had been fed to dogs for the past three years. How blind must she be to fall for such a scumbag! At this moment, she did not know what to say to express her anger. She angrily typed a word: “Scram!” Then, she blocked and deleted his WeChat!

“Xing Su!” A familiar voice came from behind.

Xing Su held her hand and turned her head. Under the street lamp, Gu Nian opened his arms to her. It had been three years since they last met, but Gu Nian had not changed much. He was tall and thin. The inexperience that belonged to a boy had disappeared from his face, and his outline had become much deeper.

Xing Su almost ran over and hugged Gu Nian. “You’re finally here.”

The dining table of Gu Nian’s house was filled with all kinds of dishes. Although Xing Su had fallen out of love, it did not affect her appetite. If not for Gu Nian’s mother constantly passing her water, she would have choked to death.

It couldn’t be helped. Gu Nian’s mother’s culinary skills were too good.

‘Xing Su’s mother passed away early. When she was young, her father was busy with business and couldn’t care about her, so he left her at her grandfather’s house. Her grandfather was from the army and was especially strict with his children. He had to follow the rules when eating and doing things. Therefore, Xing Su, who had been picky since she was young, always secretly went to Gu Nian’s house to freeload. After all these years, Gu Nian’s mother knew what Xing Su liked and didn’t like to eat. Even now, the Gu family still had a guest room for Xing Su so that she could stay overnight.

Xing Su and Gu Nian grew up together and played together since they could remember. There was no gender barrier. Occasionally, when they were unhappy, it was normal to fight. Now, there was still a bite mark on Gu Nian’s leg that Xing Su had bitten when he was young. At that time, Xing Su had bitten him very badly and left a scar. It had not disappeared until now. Of course, Xing Su was also beaten up by her grandfather as a punishment.

Gu Nian sat at the side. When he saw Xing Su wolfing down the food, he could not hide his disdain. “Did you study abroad or become a refugee?”
