"He doesn't bla !?"
"Damn it! He slandered , and he says he doesn't bla !?"
"I'll fuck his fucking bullshit!"
"How does he have the nerve to say sothing like that!"
Even though Chang Hao had been thrown into the police station, Zheng Yanyan's lingering anger still had not subsided. Originally, even when Su Qing exposed the scandal on the forum, claiming that Zheng Yanyan had stolen her boyfriend, there were still plenty of people willing to support her.
But ever since Chang Hao ca out to clear his na, public opinion had essentially beco one-sided. Even the netizens who originally supported the idea that Zheng Yanyan and Zhou Yuwen were a perfect match had gone silent.
Because what people were saying was correct. You already had a boyfriend, yet you were still fooling around outside?
Even if you called the police, it only proved that you had no real relationship with that man.
However, if you had not given the man any hints, why would he be relentlessly pestering you?
With Chang Hao's wave of clearing his own na, Zheng Yanyan's reputation was irreparably ruined, beyond any hope of being washed clean.
Now, many people on the internet were saying, just break up peacefully, you two are not suitable for each other.
"Exactly, just let Zhou Yuwen go. You were an interceptor halfway through anyway. How does the saying go? It is not about lasting forever, but about having possessed it once."
"As a pure book fan, I just hope the great author breaks up with his current girlfriend. I heard that Xiao Chuchu was modeled after his ex-girlfriend. Is that true?"
"It is true. Here is a photo of the great author's ex-girlfriend."
Along with that comnt, soone posted a photo of Su Qing. It was from the rehearsal for the New Year's Gala. Su Qing, acting as the event's planner, wore a pair of rimless glasses, a loose gray crewneck sweater, a white chiffon skirt, and a pair of white sneakers. She stood gracefully below the stage, holding a program in her hands. She was directing everyone's positions while occasionally glancing at the program and looking up to adjust her rimless glasses.
It was afternoon, and the sunlight happened to spill right over the top of Su Qing's head. In that mont, she looked absolutely stunning.
Soone had secretly taken this photo and posted it on the forum, instantly amazing everyone.
"Holy crap! She is the absolute epito of a white moonlight!"
"She is way too beautiful! No wonder she is the prototype for Xiao Chuchu!"
"She is practically Xiao Chuchu in the flesh!"
"So, was it really because she was too controlling that the great author broke up with her?!"
In an instant, Su Qing's popularity skyrocketed. She already had a certain degree of fa in the university, but now that Zhou Yuwen had beco famous, many of his readers followed the trail to find the character's real-life prototype. Truth be told, they really did feel that Su Qing shared a certain resemblance with the female lead, and on top of that, she was Zhou Yuwen's ex-girlfriend.
When compared side-by-side with Zheng Yanyan, and especially after the whole fiasco with Chang Hao, anyone with half a brain would know who was the better choice.
Therefore, netizens were basically all saying the sa thing: just break up already, it is the perfect ti to get back together with your first love.
"Right, I think since the author can write a book based on his first love, it shows he still has feelings for her."
"If it were , I would definitely choose the first love. I am from the Arts Departnt, and I know that Zheng Yanyan. She acts just like a delinquent girl, completely lacking in manners. Su Qing is so much more elegant and generous!"
"Those are minor details. The main issue is that Zheng Yanyan is still tangling with other n. I still think the first love is prettier!"
The verdict on the forum was clear as day. How could Zheng Yanyan not be furious at Chang Hao? It was over! Everything was completely ruined! Her relationship with Zhou Yuwen had reached this disastrous point, and at least ninety percent of the bla lay squarely on Chang Hao's shoulders!
She absolutely loathed him to death.
'I must be suffering from eight lifetis of terrible luck!' Zheng Yanyan thought.
'To run into a cuckold loser like Chang Hao!'
'And what the hell is this absolute epito of a white moonlight nonsense!'
'One look at that photo and you know Su Qing got soone to take it on purpose!'
'The person who posted it was using a brand-new account!'
'It was probably Su Qing directing and acting in her own little play!'
'Such a scheming bitch!'
'A woman like that still thinks she is worthy of Zhou Yuwen!'
'Damn it, even if I cannot have Zhou Yuwen, it will never be your turn to have him!'
Zheng Yanyan felt a vicious determination swell in her heart.
Over the past few days, due to her conflicts with Su Qing, she had refused to stay in the dormitory. Instead, she had simply taken Lu Lin and moved into Zhou Yuwen's big flat. However, she could not be entirely blad for taking the initiative, as she had communicated with Zhou Yuwen about it beforehand.
She had not stopped ssaging Zhou Yuwen to chat these past few days. She told him everything Su Qing had supposedly done to her. Just as she had promised herself, even if she could not have him, she would never let Su Qing get him either. She claid that Su Qing was slandering her on the forum, creating alternate accounts to curse and vilify her, and spreading rumors that she was having an affair with Chang Hao.
"Hubby, you have to believe . There is absolutely nothing between Chang Hao and . I blocked him a long ti ago, and I will never have any contact with him ever again. And not just him! I will never talk to any other boys from now on. I have already deleted all the n from my WeChat. Look [Image]"
"From now on, I will only be my hubby's woman. Hubby, please forgive , okay?"
This incident had indeed taught Zheng Yanyan a certain lesson. She would never allow herself to be disadvantaged in matters like this again. Not only that, but she was going to keep a close eye on Su Qing. The mont she saw Su Qing laughing or talking with other n, she would absolutely go online and drag her na through the mud!
She wanted to see if Su Qing was truly as single-minded and devoted as she claid to be.
She even told Zhou Yuwen about how she had called the police and gotten Chang Hao arrested.
However, from beginning to end, Zhou Yuwen barely replied.
That was until Zheng Yanyan ntioned that she wanted to bring Lu Lin to stay at his place.
She said her conflict with Su Qing had escalated too much.
Just looking at Su Qing irritated her!
"Go ahead."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuwen replied to this ssage in an instant.
Zheng Yanyan was overjoyed. She had been pining for him so desperately that her eyes were nearly straining out of their sockets, thinking he really did not want her anymore. To think he would actually let her stay at his house?
Did that an Zhou Yuwen still liked her!?
Upon receiving this ssage, all of Zheng Yanyan's grievances suddenly vanished into thin air.
"Hubby, you are not breaking up with
anymore, right?"
"Hubby, you still like , don't you?"
Zheng Yanyan sent Zhou Yuwen a flurry of follow-up ssages.
Looking at the endless stream of texts, Zhou Yuwen felt a bit helpless.
After thinking it over, he finally told her:
"We never broke up in the first place. I told you, I just want us to have a cooling-off period to calm down."
"I already told you that I am very busy lately. You saw the exclusive interview regarding the novel, and there is a whole pile of things waiting for
to handle after this."
"Can't you just be a little more obedient?"
"If you keep sending
endless ssages like this, I might actually break up with you."
When that single sentence was sent over, Zheng Yanyan felt as if the sky was falling. She quickly and cautiously replied, "Okay, okay, okay, I will not bother you anymore, hubby. Focus on your work, hubby, I won't annoy you. I will listen to you. I will be a good girl."
Only then was Zhou Yuwen satisfied. In truth, he had already heard all about what Zheng Yanyan had been up to these past few days from Shen Yu and Lu Lin. He felt that Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan really were not suited to live together.
His attitude toward Zheng Yanyan was very clear. A breakup was certain, but Zheng Yanyan was still his woman. He had undergone a rebirth; how could there be any logic in giving his woman away to soone else?
If Zheng Yanyan wanted to stay in his big flat, she could go ahead. Her living there ant she still wanted to be his woman, so why should he refuse?
Besides, he really was not staying at the big flat recently. Leaving it empty would be a waste, so letting her and Lu Lin stay there was only natural.
"That apartnt is too big; it would be a waste for you to stay there alone. Make sure you stay there with Lu Lin," Zhou Yuwen finally sent one last ssage to Zheng Yanyan.
"Mhm mhm [Grin]" Zheng Yanyan was finally happy.
After a while, seeing that Zhou Yuwen did not reply, Zheng Yanyan could not hold back and typed:
"Hubby"
"I know you are really busy lately..."
"But, you also need to relax occasionally..."
"I bought new lingerie..."
"A little bunny one..."
"[Image] [Image]"
"Co find
when you are bored [Shy]"
"A cooling-off period does not have to affect our physical communication, right? [Shy]"
Zhou Yuwen replied: "If you keep annoying , I am going to block you, got it?"
"Okay, okay, I will not annoy you anymore, hubby! Don't block ! Please absolutely do not block !"
That single threat imdiately terrified Zheng Yanyan, and she did not dare bother Zhou Yuwen anymore.
Zhou Yuwen also rarely got to enjoy a few relaxing days.
Actually, when he was sending those ssages to Zheng Yanyan, Zhou Yuwen was already sitting in the business class seats of the high-speed rail with Qu Jing. These three days in Shanghai had indeed been incredibly fruitful. Not only had he bought many luxury goods for Qu Jing, but Zhou Yuwen had also bought plenty of seasonal clothes for himself.
Bags of all sizes were all packed neatly into their suitcases.
When they boarded the high-speed rail, Qu Jing was the one pushing them all.
Zhou Yuwen, anwhile, kept his head down the entire ti, replying to his ssages.
Anyone who saw this scene felt a deep sense of envy, jealousy, and pure resentnt.
Because Qu Jing was beautiful, and with the added enhancent of her stylish clothes, she was definitely one of the rare beauties you would see on the street. Yet such a stunning woman was pushing heavy luggage while the man accompanying her remained completely indifferent.
This sight made many passing young n grit their teeth in frustration.
They thought to themselves, 'If she were my girlfriend, I would treat her like a precious treasure, holding her gently in my mouth for fear she would lt, and cradling her in my hands for fear she would break. I really don't know what kind of dumb luck that guy stumbled into to find such an amazing girlfriend.'
Qu Jing was wearing the exact sa outfit today as the day she arrived in Shanghai—a white sweater paired with matching tight denim booty shorts. It was not necessarily that she loved wearing this particular outfit, but mainly because Zhou Yuwen liked it.
Qu Jing had an excellent waist-to-hip ratio, and wearing these tight shorts perfectly accentuated the curves of her rear.
Therefore, Zhou Yuwen liked it. It felt comfortable when he put his arm around her.
Compared to the day they arrived in Shanghai, the only difference was that Qu Jing now wore a black leather collar around her neck. Truth be told, paired with her outfit, it genuinely gave her a uniquely alluring charm. This collar was a custom-made Louis Vuitton piece, costing 8,600 yuan each.
In fact, Zhou Yuwen had not originally intended to buy it for her. After all, he could not understand why girls would want to wear things around their necks. Did it really look that good?
But since Qu Jing liked it, Zhou Yuwen bought it.
Moreover, he had letters custom-engraved on it—
"zywdg"
Zhou Yuwen easily understood what those letters stood for. Alright, Qu Jing really knew how to play.
After putting on the leather collar, Qu Jing was filled with absolute joy. Fiddling with the little bell attached to it, her happy face flushed pink as she said, "From now on, I belong exclusively to you, big brother!"
Zhou Yuwen rely smiled and gently shook the bell on her neck.
From Shanghai to Jinling, taking the high-speed rail only took an hour and a half.
With the big flat given to Zheng Yanyan and Lu Lin, Zhou Yuwen temporarily stayed at Qu Jing's place.
After returning ho, Qu Jing figured that after a long day of traveling, Zhou Yuwen must be exhausted. She had him lie down on her lap so she could give him a relaxing massage.
Zhou Yuwen said they could save it for the evening, as he still had to make a trip to the university.
When Zhou Yuwen arrived in Jinling, it was actually only around two in the afternoon. He drove to the campus primarily to report back from his leave. He had taken four consecutive days off, so he naturally had to inform his counselor.
Another reason was that Jiang Xinyi had been constantly rushing him these past few days, demanding to know where he had run off to fool around.
'Was he really just going to act as a completely hands-off boss?!'
'No, seriously, big bro, even if you want to be a hands-off boss, you still need to sign the paperwork!'
'If you don't sign, there is no way for
to submit these docunts!'
'Do you still want this 80,000 yuan entrepreneurship subsidy or not?'
'If you delay signing any longer, the deadline will pass.'
From Jiang Xinyi's words, it was obvious she had no idea what Zhou Yuwen had been doing these past few days.
This was not surprising. After all, Zhou Yuwen was not so outrageously popular idol celebrity.
Even if he were a ga-star, people who did not follow that scene still would not know.
Jiang Xinyi was a postgraduate student close to graduation. Hardly any of her roommates were frequently on campus anymore, so how would she keep up with campus gossip?
These past few days, in order to help Zhou Yuwen apply for the entrepreneurship subsidy, she had been stressing out, scratching her head in frustration, and preparing ledgers late into the night. Yet, whenever she had sothing to consult him about, she often could not find him.
Jiang Xinyi was on the verge of a breakdown.
When she finally managed to get in touch with him, she unleashed a barrage of complaints on him.
As a result, Zhou Yuwen shalessly sent her a grinning emoji.
"I will treat you to a al next ti [Grin]!"
'Next ti, next ti!'
'How many damn tis have you said next ti!'
'What an infuriatingly awful man!'
'He is so young, where did he learn such a rotten capitalist attitude!'
Jiang Xinyi was furious. She had even changed Zhou Yuwen's remark na in her WeChat to—Zhou the Skinflint!
'That's right! Zhou the Skinflint!'
'That despicable skinflint Zhou!'
'If he doesn't co back soon, I am dropping this entire job!'
Jiang Xinyi did not know that Zhou Yuwen was now a famous author, and Zhou Yuwen had not ntioned it. Since she was so anxious to find him, he figured he should show his face. Truth be told, although he had not been in Jinling recently, Zhou Yuwen was well aware of the hard work Jiang Xinyi had been putting in, having heard about it from Lu Lin.
The office lights frequently stayed on until eleven at night. Only when getting closer would one realize that Jiang Xinyi was the only person left working inside.
When Zhou Yuwen drove toward the campus gate, a Maybach was parked right at the entrance, blocking his path inside.
He saw the driver standing there, arguing with the security guard.
The driver was furious. "Look closely! Do you have any idea what kind of car this is?!"
"I don't care what kind of car it is! The university has clear regulations! Outside vehicles are not allowed to enter the campus without permission!" the guard replied righteously.
The driver was sowhat speechless, thinking to himself that these lower-class people really had no sense of observation or tact.
"You just wait, I am calling your superiors right now!" the driver threatened as he pulled out his phone.
At that mont, Mother Jiang, who was sitting in the backseat, rolled down the window and softly called out the driver's na, "Little Li."
Seeing that it was Madam calling him, the driver lowered his phone and imdiately jogged over.
Mother Jiang furrowed her brow and asked what was happening.
The driver explained that outside vehicles were not allowed entry.
"Madam, I will call their leadership right away. Please wait just a mont."
Driver Little Li had actually not been on the job for very long; he had taken over the position from his uncle.
Little Li's uncle had worked for the Jiang Family Estate for thirty years and was a very steady and reliable man. However, this Little Li seed to be a bit too rash and impatient.
Mother Jiang sighed and said, "Forget it. There is no need to trouble others over such a trivial matter."
"Just park the car by the side of the road. I will walk in."
"Ah? Madam, how... how can we do that?" Little Li looked panicked.
Mother Jiang replied that there was nothing wrong with it.
"I haven't been to a university campus in a long ti. It will be a nice walk and good exercise. Just wait for
over there."
Seeing that Madam was insistent, Little Li had no choice but to agree.
Zhou Yuwen waited behind them for a while, and seeing that the Maybach was still not moving, he grew a bit annoyed and honked his horn a couple of tis.
Mother Jiang was a highly refined woman. She stepped out of the car first, planning to walk and find Jiang Xinyi on foot.
From behind, Zhou Yuwen saw a wealthy, elegant lady step out of the car. She was wearing a purple qipao with a matching shawl draped over her shoulders. Although she was visibly older, her movents and deanor were incredibly graceful. She wore a pair of nude-colored high heels and held a lunchbox in her hand.
It looked as though she was delivering a al.
'Does our third-rate university actually have such wealthy and influential alumni?'
Zhou Yuwen silently roasted his own school in his mind.
After the elegant lady stepped out, the driver moved the car to the side.
Zhou Yuwen then drove his car forward to take its place.
He rolled down his window.
As soon as the security guard saw it was Zhou Yuwen, his face lit up with a pleasant surprise. "Oh! The great author! You're back!?"
The security guards definitely knew Zhou Yuwen. Ever since he started selling campus phone cards, Zhou Yuwen had been buying cigarettes for the guards. Later, when he set up the delivery station and frequently had transport trucks driving onto campus, he never skimped on gifting them packs of smokes. Coupled with the boasting from the Xuhuai Association, all the campus guards knew that Zhou Yuwen was an exceptionally capable student.
And after this recent exclusive interview, the security guard community had definitely been gossiping about him.
'It's that Little Zhou who runs the delivery station.'
'He actually writes novels too?'
'He writes novels and can earn millions of yuan a month!'
With that being said, the guards were all instantly astonished.
These security guards were all around forty years old. When n of this age gathered together, they had nothing better to do than drink and brag. Thus, they loved to chat about the highly capable people around them.
For instance, they would say, "Don't underestimate
just because I am a security guard right now! Our university is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
"You know that kid who writes novels? He and I are on really good terms!"
Therefore, now that the guards saw Zhou Yuwen, they were genuinely thrilled, their words even carrying a hint of fawning and flattery.
Zhou Yuwen remained very humble, smiling and nodding at the guard.
The guard politely rushed out of the booth, personally lifted the boom barrier for Zhou Yuwen, and then jogged over to the car window, eager to chat with him. He said sothing along the lines of, "You've really beco the celebrity of our school lately!"
"You are a great author now. I knew from the start you had a bright future ahead of you, kid!"
Zhou Yuwen smiled and exchanged a few words with him before saying, "Uncle, I still need to go report back from my leave, so I will head in first, alright?"
"Aye, go on ahead!" The guard cheerfully waved him through.
At this mont, the driver, who was using both hands to pass the lunchbox to Mother Jiang, caught sight of the guard's sycophantic expression. He could not help but sneer, "Snob!"
The guard happened to overhear this. Looking at Little Li's self-righteous expression, he let out a disdainful chuckle, turned around, and walked back into the guardhouse.
Mother Jiang had also glanced at Zhou Yuwen in the car just now, and her only impression was that this young man was truly youthful.
'Driving such an expensive car, I wonder which wealthy family's young master he is,' she thought.
