Chapter 1487 - 1499: Heartthrob Girlfriend (7)
In contrast to Yu Jin’s barely contained excitement, Yu Yin and Yu Tong were equally delighted.
People bustled anxiously through life, all for a few taels of broken silver and some fame and fortune.
The so-called sycophants were nothing more than people driven by profit.
Su Li had long realized that the small businesses of the Yu Family survived by relying on the Jing Family, which gave them their clumsy roles.
--------
Su Li always thought she had a keen eye, but she never expected it to be this good.
The three new lackeys she recruited were more capable than she had imagined.
She had no idea how they did it, but they managed to persuade over a dozen small companies to join forces in development.
As a small enterprise that could only survive by being attached to the mighty Jing Family, the Yu Family naturally could not openly compete with such a giant, nor could they compare to the Luo Family.
But even mice have their own ways; small companies have their own survival wisdom.
Businessmen value profit. When faced with an enormous opportunity, they would tackle it head-on, even if there was a hundred percent risk.
Even many ants can bite an elephant to death. One Yu Family is too insignificant, but what about ten, a hundred Yu Families?
Even Luo Ying never expected these people to achieve this level, which inevitably gave him complex thoughts about the three Yu brothers.
Thinking about it, one moment they were Mr. Jing’s gun, pointing wherever directed, and the next moment, they turned their aim at him.
Relating this to himself, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of impending danger.
The Yu brothers were such cunning individuals that as soon as Luo Ying showed a hint of this idea, they sensed it.
They had been avoiding meeting Luo Ying these past days.
Luo Ying was minded to warn Su Li to be wary of such treacherous people.
If they could betray Jing Jing so easily for profit, they could do the same to others.
Su Li laughed and said, "As long as you can always keep yourself valuable, then...you never have to fear betrayal. Because compared to the cost of betrayal, supporting you maximizes their value."
"Only incompetent people worry and cower like this."
Luo Ying was thoughtful, hurriedly said goodbye to Su Li, and left in a rush, unsure of what inspiration he had gained.
On Su Li’s end, everything was peaceful; it was Jing Jing who ended up in a difficult situation.
He waited impatiently for news of his rival being reprimanded, only to receive a string of urgent calls from his parents instead.
In contrast to their usually gentle attitude, even his doting mother sternly ordered him to return home immediately.
Without the entangled Mr. Jing, Liu Liu’s life suddenly lost its focus; she felt an empty void, a sense of loss.
She thought of Su Li again.
After much reflection and determination, she returned to class, and it was alarming to find that she had attended almost none of the lectures for half a semester, and her textbooks were as new as they come.
With the final exams approaching, Liu Liu began to feel anxious.
Qinghua University’s exams were immensely important; they were crucial to your ability to move up a grade and to graduate.
Compared to the otherwise relaxed school rules, the severity of the final exams was starkly incongruent with the campus environment.
But this was the tradition of freedom and independence that Qinghua advocated, leaving even Liu Liu flustered.
This time, the first person Liu Liu thought of was Su Li.
Previously, Su Li would always organize her notes and highlight key points for her, which was how she managed to get into Qinghua University in the first place.
But when Liu Liu went to find Su Li, she discovered...she couldn’t find her at all.
Not just at school, but she couldn’t find anyone at the Su Family’s place either.
When did it all happen?
Her classmates hadn’t seen Su Li for a long time; if it weren’t for Liu Liu’s return as the campus belle, which brought up her ex-boyfriend, they hadn’t noticed that Su Li hadn’t been to class for a long time.
Without the ex-girlfriend campus belle’s spotlight, Su Li wasn’t someone who drew much attention.
Once the hype around Mr. Jing and the campus belle died down, Su Li was quickly forgotten.
Standing motionless in front of the Su Family’s house, Liu Liu had been standing there for at least an hour.
The door to the Su Family’s house opened, and the person who emerged was unfamiliar to Liu Liu.
Liu Liu couldn’t help herself and stepped forward to stop the person from leaving, anxiously asking, "Excuse me, where is the family that used to live here?"
"They sold the house to me. I don’t know where they went, but I heard it was for better opportunities."
....
All the way back home, Liu Liu was in a daze, feeling as if she was in a dream, so unreal.
Her memories seemed to linger in the moments of closeness with Su Li, but now...
Looking back, the person she thought would always be there had disappeared in an instant.
Liu Liu sniffed, tears welling up.
She pulled out her phone and instinctively dialed a familiar number, but only the busy tone was heard.
Liu Liu felt profoundly upset; this time she truly blamed Su Li.
She blamed him for not believing in her, for not being willing to hold on, for...
Even though he had suggested breaking up a long time ago, she hadn’t accepted Jing Jing since then; didn’t that say something?
His proclaimed love for her was just empty words.
Angrily, Liu Liu kicked a pebble on the ground.
Her heart clogged, Liu Liu directly pulled up Jing Jing’s number and dialed it.
If that was so, why not just agree to Jing Jing’s courtship now?
Liu Liu thought it through; she had already planned out how she would speak to Jing Jing.
But what she didn’t expect was that the moment Jing Jing’s call was connected, it was immediately hung up.
When she tried to call again, his phone was directly turned off.
Liu Liu stood there, stunned, eyes filled with shock and sorrow, tears streaming down her face.
Even though she didn’t want to admit it, there was still a sliver of self-awareness deep down.
Their breakup was partly due to Jing Jing.
But now, the boy who had once made her blush had turned cold and indifferent, giving Liu Liu her first taste of life’s harsh reality.
Men, with their deceitful mouths.
In that instant, Liu Liu didn’t know what to do.
In a flurry, she scrolled through her phone contacts, and her finger paused on a name.
Fifteen minutes later, a luxurious business car stopped in front of Liu Liu.
The window rolled down to reveal the suave and sophisticated face of a man.
At the sight of him, Liu Liu started crying even before speaking, choking out miserably, "Ming Sen."
"Ming Sen, I got dumped."
Ming Sen’s expression changed, quickly opening the car door and stepping out with his long legs, enveloping the tear-streaked Liu Liu in his arms.
"Oh, you..."
"Before, you said you loved that immature boy the most, so I painfully let go. Now...I truly regret it."
