Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 355 - 158: Reuniting with Zhong Tingyue, Li Yuan’s E

Gu Lanxin hugged Zhong Tingyue, who was curled up in a ball, and sighed helplessly in her heart. When she was younger, she too had encountered similar situations. At this mont, she felt a profound connection with her daughter. Their circumstances were quite similar; they were kindred spirits in their shared misery.

Gently stroking her beloved daughter’s hair, Gu Lanxin comforted her softly, "Little Moon, you must be strong. Don’t ever give up on yourself; in the end, you’re the one who gets hurt.

"In today’s society, we won can live just as wonderfully even without a man. You are much stronger than I was. I only graduated from a technical secondary school. With little formal education and no degree, I couldn’t find a good job and had to rely on your father.

"But you are different, Little Moon. Think of your decade of diligent study to get into a prestigious university in Modu. There are endless possibilities for your future.

"Try to pull yourself together and let go of these fantasies about love. After graduating, find a good job. Even if you never marry, you can live a good life... Won are bound to encounter unworthy n sotis. Once you graduate, we’ll find a way to break free from this family. Then, you can find soone who truly loves you with all their heart and have a lovely baby..."

Nestled in Gu Lanxin’s arms, Zhong Tingyue sobbed nonstop. She felt utterly helpless, as if the entire world had gone dark, devoid of a single speck of color.

Looking haggard, Zhong Tingyue gazed at her mother, who was also wiping away tears. Through her blurry eyes, she asked, "Mom, am I completely useless?"

Gu Lanxin patted Zhong Tingyue’s shoulder, forcing a smile as she offered gentle comfort. "Little Moon, how could you be useless? You are so much stronger than I was back then.

"At the very least, you have your mother supporting you.

"Little Moon, you must be strong. There’s no obstacle in this world you can’t overco. It’s just one failed relationship—it’s not a big deal. Learn to look ahead, make yourself even more outstanding, and make him regret it..."

Gu Lanxin pleaded earnestly, but Zhong Tingyue’s tears continued to fall.

"By the way, Little Moon, would you be willing to tell about you and him? Mom can help you sort things out."

Already at her wit’s end from crying and with no one else in Sucheng to confide in, Zhong Tingyue chose to trust her mother. She slowly began to speak, recounting the entire story of how she and Li Yuan t and got together.

"He was very tall, bright and handso, and also incredibly talented...

"The very first ti we t, right at the start of the university term, he called out my na. He knew my phone number, my nickna, and even my favorite dishes... He was so familiar with that he even knew everything about you and our family situation...

"That night, he told a story, saying we were lovers in a past life... He also wrote a song for called ’Nanshan South.’ I felt so overwheld that I subconsciously cast myself in the story... That night, I drank alcohol for the first ti, and I also kissed him...

"After that, we chatted a lot and went on dates around campus. He would sing to , and his singing was so unique, sincere, and beautiful. Although he could be a bit goofy at tis, he always managed to make laugh...

"When I was with him, I felt like I had dropped all my pretenses. It was simple, happy, and liberating... I trusted him completely; he was my rock, my emotional anchor...

"He was also exceptionally talented. He took along to business negotiations, and the ga adaptation rights for a novel he wrote sold for 50 million... He also wanted to open a milk tea shop with , saying I’d be the proprietress. We had already finished planning the entire shop...

"On October 2nd, even though I insisted I didn’t want it, he bought a Porsche sports car, fully paid for and registered in my na...

"He was so, so, so good to . But I truly had no idea that he already had a girlfriend from high school, and that girl is my roommate..."

Zhong Tingyue cried as she spoke, her mind replaying every mont she had shared with Li Yuan over the past month. She couldn’t understand how a boy who had treated her so well in every respect could lead to this outco.

Gu Lanxin had also been wiping her tears, but as she listened to her daughter’s story, her body suddenly stiffened, her expression growing incredibly complex.

If she were to set aside her position as a mother, any man who treated a woman like that... well, ninety-nine percent of won would feel absolutely cherished. As a concubine—a mistress, to put it plainly—she understood better than anyone how rare it was to find a man who was tall, handso, talented, and rich, and on top of all that, was willing to spend both his money and his ti on you. Her own man, Zhong Tingyue’s father, was completely incapable of such things. A man like that... forget Modu, even in Sucheng, there would be a whole host of beautiful won willing to be his mistress, or even his second or third. She knew plenty of pretty young won who haunted bars and karaoke lounges, doing everything in their power to climb into the beds of rich n who would spend lavishly on them, all just to please them... even if the man was old and couldn’t last three minutes in bed. And if her daughter’s boyfriend was truly as she described—tall, handso, talented, and wealthy—then his appeal to the opposite sex would be a hundred tis greater...
