“So he just now looked like he wanted to rekindle things with you?”
Ruan Yaoyao shrugged. “Don’t ask me. Wasn’t it you who set this up in the middle? You’re the one who arranged for us to meet and even told me this café has great coffee and wanted me to try it.”
Xu Nannan looked a little guilty. “Hehe… Mom, you really can’t blame me for this. The main thing is… someone was way too generous! You have no idea—he almost bought out all the paintings in my gallery.”
“So just for that money, you sold your own mother out?” Ruan Yaoyao looked at her with disdain, though she was complaining inwardly.
【Took so much money and didn’t even share a bit with me.】
【Selling your mom so smoothly, but when it comes to splitting the money, I don’t see any of mine?】
Xu Nannan quickly pulled out a card and shoved it into her mother’s hand. “You get a share, this is yours. Hehe, how could your daughter let you work for nothing? He just wanted to meet you and have a coffee, it’s not like he asked you to agree to anything…”
“Besides, I’m sitting right here. If he dares do anything, I’ll ruin him.”
Of course, Xu Nannan didn’t mention that she was actually here to eat the gossip.
Ex-boyfriend?!
Her mom actually had one?!
After receiving the money, Ruan Yaoyao’s expression softened a little. She felt like this trip wasn’t wasted after all.
Even though it came from her daughter, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. After all, all her money would eventually be left to her children anyway—whoever gave it to her now, it would just go back to them later.
Right now, she was just holding onto it so they wouldn’t spend it all recklessly.
“That’s more like it. Next time something like this happens, remember to inform me early—we’ll coordinate together. Don’t worry, I don’t only have one ex-boyfriend. If others come looking for me, we can use the same approach.”
Xu Nannan: “Mom, you have more ex-boyfriends?! How many do you have?”
Ruan Yaoyao gave her a meaningful look.
【How many?】
【Why would I tell you?】
【That’s a secret!】
She hummed twice and was about to leave with her daughter when she suddenly noticed the “big sucker” label had shifted nearby. She immediately looked over.
And with that glance—she froze.
【Holy crap!】
【There are still this kind of juicy gossip in this world?!】
Xu Nannan panicked. What gossip?! What gossip?!
Mom, just tell me already—I’m dying of curiosity!
Following her mother’s gaze, Xu Nannan noticed a young man sitting in a corner who stood out sharply.
Mm.
The kind of guy with a model-like build, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and sharp, sculpted features—an extremely handsome cool guy.
Xu Nannan admitted that this level of looks was rare. At first glance, he looked like a protagonist.
If it were before, she might’ve gone up to ask for his contact info. But now…
What could be more important than gossip?
So what exactly was this handsome guy’s story?
【Tsk tsk tsk…】
【Amazing.】
Xu Nannan: Mom, don’t just watch alone! Tell me what the gossip is! I’m dying here!
【Some people look like cool, aloof men on the surface, but secretly they’re simps—personally sending their crush to another man’s room late at night, and even thinking their crush is innocent?!】
【Wait a second…】
【Are you sure your crush was drunk? Isn’t she supposed to have a high alcohol tolerance? How did she pass out after just one drink with you?!】
【Also, she already has a fiancé—even if it’s a business marriage, it’s still a fiancé.】
【If she’s drunk, shouldn’t you be calling her fiancé over? Why did you send your crush instead…】
【Oh my god!】
【Drunken misconduct?!】
【One-night stand?!】
【Is this going to turn into a “pregnant-after-one-night-and-running-away” story?!】
……
Xu Nannan felt dazed.
Do handsome guys nowadays really play this wildly?
Sending your crush to someone else’s bed is already insane—but to do it to your own best friend?!
And wait!
Your best friend already has a fiancée!
Ahhhhhh…
Even Xu Nannan felt like she was about to lose it.
So this so-called “good friend” took care of his best friend’s fiancée, only to end up sending another woman into his best friend’s bed instead…
This is impossible to evaluate!
Ruan Yaoyao sat there too, feeling that this situation was beyond absurd.
【And after all that, you still have the nerve to ask your best friend’s fiancée to come out and “fulfill them both”?】
【If I were that fiancée, I’d beat you to death.】
Tu Yuyan directly poured her coffee over the man’s face and angrily said:
“You still have the nerve to say something like that?! Gao Yousheng, do you think you’re some kind of romantic hero? You’re really something, huh! Situ Ruiwen is my fiancé—yet you’re telling me to give him to someone else?!”
“How am I supposed to do that?!”
“This business marriage wasn’t my decision alone! It’s not like I was clinging to Situ Ruiwen and refusing to let go!”
“You should really clear your head!”
After saying that, Tu Yuyan stormed out furiously.
Gao Yousheng called after her a few times, but she didn’t turn back. Helpless, he sat down again and wiped the coffee from his face with tissues.
Sigh…
He felt like Tu Yuyan was the one who didn’t understand anything.
He had already said it—Situ Ruiwen didn’t like her at all. So why couldn’t she just choose another man to like?
There were so many men in the world—why insist on holding onto Situ Ruiwen?
Thinking about how Qu Shiyi had already become intimate with Situ Ruiwen, Gao Yousheng felt a complicated mess of emotions.
Half sweet, half bitter.
The sweetness was for Qu Shiyi—he felt happy for her, believing he had helped fulfill her happiness. She must be lying in Situ Ruiwen’s arms right now, very content.
The bitterness was also for Qu Shiyi. After all, she was the woman he loved, yet now she was in another man’s arms—how could he not feel jealous?
It had always been like this since childhood. Whenever he stood next to Situ Ruiwen, everyone always chose Situ Ruiwen.
He was like the green leaf beside the flower—always ignored.
Just as he was lost in thought, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him.
“Yousheng…”
Gao Yousheng looked up—and saw Qu Shiyi.
She was still wearing the clothes from last night. Although she had tidied herself up, she still looked somewhat exhausted.
“Why are you here?”
Gao Yousheng wanted to say: shouldn’t you be with Situ Ruiwen right now?
Qu Shiyi looked at him. “Yousheng, what exactly happened? Wasn’t I with you last night? Why is it that when I woke up this morning…”
She couldn’t continue. Her eyes turned red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Gao Yousheng panicked and quickly asked the staff for a blanket to cover her shoulders, softly comforting her.
Before he could even say much, Qu Shiyi suddenly fell into his arms and started crying.
Ruan Yaoyao was watching intently when someone lightly poked her shoulder and whispered:
“Mom, look over there!”
