Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed Chapter 403 170 Li Yuan: Have I become a solitary individual

"Yuan was driving a Lamborghini today. I even thought about asking if I could try it out, but I was too embarrassed to speak up." Thinking of the super cool Lamborghini Li Yuan had driven to the book signing this morning, Wu Hao's face filled with longing and envy. "Damn," he muttered, "I've never even ridden in a sports car in my entire life."

"You and both," Xu Ziqiang said. "When is Yuan going to bring his Lamborghini to school so we can all take it for a spin?" He then looked toward Liu Jia with a teasing smile. "Liu Jia, you're bold enough. Why don't you be the one to ask him?"

Liu Jia pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and muttered, "I wouldn't dare. After what happened, Yuan's temper must be terrible. It's best not to provoke him. We'll talk about it in a few days."

"I really don't know how Yuan is going to handle this. Maybe these are the troubles that co with being blessed."

「Girls' Dormitory A-6608, Lan Yuan」

Xia Zhijin sat in front of her computer, her eyes dull and lifeless. The screen displayed posts about Li Yuan dating two girlfriends at the Finance Academy...

Shen Xiyu was cursing furiously beside her, as if she were the one who had been cheated on.

"Zhijin, I knew it! Li Yuan is not a good guy. See? He's been exposed! That scumbag is actually juggling several girls...

"Zhijin, listen to . Break up with that jerk decisively. With your looks and brains, what kind of boyfriend couldn't you find?

"That scumbag is so disgusting, juggling four girls at once! His conscience must have been eaten by a dog. No wonder he went after you right at the first class eting when school started. He must have been just after your looks, with ulterior motives..."

Listening to Shen Xiyu's nonstop tirade against Li Yuan, Gao Xin, Li Lanrong, and Ge Chenchen frowned without saying a word. The sudden, explosive scandal had left them all in shock. Xia Zhijin just sat there, tears streaming down her face, her eyes vacant and lost in thought.

Li Lanrong couldn't stand it any longer. She frowned and snapped at Shen Xiyu, "Xiyu, could you stop cursing for a second? It's not helping at all."

"I'll curse that scumbag Li Yuan if I want to! What's so special about him, just because he has a little money?" Shen Xiyu retorted, her heart aching as she looked at Xia Zhijin's helpless state. "What gives him the right to treat Zhijin like this? To hurt her so badly?

"A scumbag like him deserves to be exposed online and have his reputation ruined! It's our public duty to warn all girls to stay away from trash like him!"

Ge Chenchen looked at Shen Xiyu's display of righteous indignation and was speechless. As a Modu native, her values were very different from an outsider like Shen Xiyu. Although she'd never been in a relationship, she had heard far too many stories like this in her social circles. Compared to those guys, Li Yuan could almost be considered a saint.

"Xiyu, I think Zhijin needs to decide for herself," Ge Chenchen said, walking over to Xia Zhijin. "Li Yuan has already gone back to her hotown in Shancheng with her and t her family. That signifies a certain level of commitnt."

She gently patted Xia Zhijin's shoulder and continued in a comforting, low voice, "Zhijin, I think you need to calm down and think carefully about this relationship. If you want to let it go, then let it go. If you don't, then you should fight for it."

No sooner had Ge Chenchen finished speaking than Shen Xiyu exploded, her eyes wide with fury. "Ge Chenchen, what are you talking about? Li Yuan's the one who cheated first! Are you seriously suggesting Zhijin should grovel and compete with his other girlfriends for his affection?

"Does that scumbag even deserve it? Who does he think he is? An emperor? Please, this is the twenty-first century!"

"Fine, I'll shut up, alright? I won't say another word," Ge Chenchen shot back. Rebuffed, she gave a cold laugh, returned to her seat, opened her laptop, and put on her headphones.

If Shen Xiyu had been paying attention, she would have noticed Ge Chenchen was listening to Li Yuan's song, "Natural Beauty."

Clearly, Ge Chenchen also liked the songs Li Yuan wrote. She had been shocked for a long ti when she learned he had written both "Love Confession Balloon" and "Natural Beauty." This made her feelings on the matter even more complicated, tinged with an inexplicable sense of private joy. While everyone else was calling Li Yuan a scumbag, deep down, she didn't think he'd done anything wrong. The more outstanding a man is, the more won he will naturally attract, right? Why should won have to choose worthless n...?

Seeing the confrontation, Li Lanrong and Gao Xin wisely kept their mouths shut. Shen Xiyu had always held a grudge against Li Yuan, or perhaps it was more of an inexplicable hostility. Now that she finally had an opportunity, she wasn't about to hold back from tearing into him.

Head held high like a victorious general, she continued her nonstop persuasion of Xia Zhijin.

"Zhijin, listen to . No matter what sweet nothings or grand promises Li Yuan spouts next, you can't believe a word of it.

"When a man cheats, there's no 'just once'—it's either the first ti or one of countless tis. If we believe their lies, we're the ones who get hurt in the end.

"Just break up with him this ti. I refuse to believe all the good n in the world are dead. And even if they are, you still have ! We're sisters; we'll be together forever..."

Hearing this, Gao Xin and Li Lanrong exchanged a look. Sothing about Shen Xiyu's words felt strange, not quite right. Could she... actually be a lesbian?

After hanging up the call from Liu Jia, Li Yuan felt troubled.
