Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Poor guy. He managed to get ten million from Huang Zi Long, and now he lost all of it…”
“Such a person doesn’t deserve sympathy! After all, he was not one of us.”
The people glad to watch Zhao Yu fall miserable.
Yu Chu Xue looked up to find Zhao Yu glaring at her menacingly, she bore an expression of contempt.
Her arrogant eyes seemed to be saying, ‘I did it on purpose, what can you do about it? Hit me?’
“I didn’t expect, Huang Zi Long would need a woman to fight your battle.”
With Yu Chu Xue present, he dared not show his displeasure.
Yu Chu Xue coolly said, “I am his fiancee; we are one. What is the different?”
Her words touched Huang Zi Long, but such woman also was the worst lady he would date out.
Zhao Yu glanced around and realized continue to stay here was pointless. He decided to leave.
“Don’t forget the money! Clear it within three days…”
As he was leaving, Yu Chu Xue took the opportunity to mock him, her tone carrying a hint of glee.
Still, Zhao Yu did not show signs of anger or breakdown, she felt a twinge of dissatisfaction and added, “During these three days, I’ll have the bug lock your cards…”
Zhao Yu halted turning back to give Yu Chu Xue one last look.
She met his gaze defiantly, her eyes filled with a mix of mockery and derision.
With the end of the drama, Zhao Yu’s departure did not disrupt the social party.
People continued as usual, mingling and networking with one another.
After leaving the library, Zhao Yu went straight back to his dormitory. As he approached the entrance, he noticed two girls were waiting for him.
One was Liu Si Yu, and the other was Huo Xiao Xi.
He expected to see Huo Xia Xi, she must be here to report about the favor.
But he couldn’t understand why Liu Si Yu was there.
“Zhao Yu, did you bought a factory?!”
Liu Si Yu approached him with an interrogative look as soon as he appeared.
“Yes.”
“Why didn’t you discuss it with me?”
Liu Si Yu looked genuinely upset, “1 heard you spent six to seven million outside. 1 didn’t believe it at first, but now it turns out to be true.”
“Do you have any idea how hard it is to start a business?”
“I heard that those three factories are on the brink of bankruptcy.”
“If the payment still on hold, cancel it now.”
Within a few seconds, she had voiced a flurry of concerns.
“The money has been paid, and the three factories are now mine,” Zhao Yu responded calmly.
Liu Si Yu’s behavior made him uncomfortable, as if the ten million was her money.
If it weren’t for fulfilling the original owner’s last wish, he would not have bothered with a woman like Liu Si Yu.
“Can it be refunded? Let’s go and try to cancel the purchase!” Liu Si Yu urged.
She had never expected to hear the news that Zhao Yu had spent the money after waiting for two days.
She had mentally claimed the ten million as hers, and she felt Zhao Yu’s spending was squandering her money.
Zhao Yu took a moment to think.
The original owner’s last wish was to win over Liu Si Yu.
Did that mean physically or emotionally?
If it was physical, ten million could do the trick. But if it was her heart, given Liu Si Yu’s current att.i.tude towards him, even a hundred years wouldn’t be enough.
Zhao Yu started to weigh his options. If he continued to appease Liu Si Yu, her expectations might grow. If he gave the money without winning her heart, he would fail to fulfill the original owner’s last wish, and that would be problematic.
Moments later, Zhao Yu had his answer. He questioned, “Liu Si Yu, have you ever truly liked me?”
Liu Si Yu was not expecting Zhao Yu to ask her such a question. She struggled to find a response.
After a while, she ambiguously replied, “Isn’t the fact that I came to see you proof that I care about you?”
“Are you sure it’s not my money you’re concerned about?”
“If you really cared about me, why didn’t you ask where I went this morning or what 1 ate for breakfast? Why are you always concerned about the money?”
It was the first time that Zhao Yu confronted her this way.
He had never spoken to her like this before.
Zhao Yu didn’t press further on this issue. Instead, he shifted gears and asked, “Do you think I can win the gamble against the Huang family?”
Liu Si Yu remained silent. Deep down, she believed that Zhao Yu couldn’t win. In fact, everyone felt the same.
Everyone knew that Zhao Yu’s gamble with the Huang family because she once mentioned to him about having two elderly family members who needed a ten million exemption.
“If you think 1 can’t win, with only a month left for me, shouldn’t you be more concerned about my well-being?”
Liu Si Yu hesitated, feeling a pang of guilt. She wondered if she had been too materialistic. After all, the ten million would eventually be hers. Her impatience might lead to Zhao Yu rebelling, and that would be…
“I’m sorry, Zhao Yu. I’m just worried about you,” she finally admitted.
Hearing Liu Si Yu’s apology, Zhao Yu inwardly nodded, understanding that he had made the right move.
His demeanor softened. After consoling her briefly, he made Liu Si Yu feel that he still cared about her..
