Chapter 95 Campus Romance, the Most Heartbreaking

"However..." Li Zhenzhen thought of another idea, "...that is, to find a woman to seduce my brother and then blackmail him for money. That's also a way to make money."

Tang Fengyu listened to all of this.

My scalp is tingling.

No matter what, Sheng Tingwang is her son.

What mother would scheme to harm her own son?

"Zhenzhen, if we're short of money, just talk to your brother nicely. He'll definitely give it to us. We've already made a mistake once; we can't do it again."

"Alright, Mom, you don't understand anything." Li Zhenzhen had already consulted a lawyer; Sheng Tingwang's wealth and the rewards from the state were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. "He's richer than a country now. What's wrong with him giving us some money? Did he break some cardinal rule?"

"But that has to be his own choice, doesn't it?"

Tang Fengyu wanted to try to persuade her daughter again.

Li Zhenzhen didn't want to listen anymore.

"Alright, I have my own way of doing things, let's not talk about this anymore."

Li Zhenzhen stormed off in a huff.

……

Sheng Tingwang never returned to his home on Yangguan Avenue.

Instead, he took Wen Shuyi and Xiao Duoduo back to the newly purchased villa.

The house is bigger now.

There are also beautiful gardens.

Aunt Wang also came to help, and there were more servants in the house now.

Sheng Tingwang orchestrated this whole affair.

Gu Lin and Ye Tang were summoned.

He hadn't invited Jiang Wan, but Gu Lin still brought her along.

This put Ye Tang in a very awkward position.

So... later, she called Song Fuli over.

The four-player game turned into a six-player game.

Wen Shuyi was not familiar with Jiang Wan or Song Fuli.

The atmosphere at the scene... well, it was a bit... eerie.

"Shuyi, this is a gift for you. It's my first time visiting your home, and I didn't know what you liked, so I brought some pastries from A-Du's shop. I hope you like them."

Jiang Wan is gentle and obedient, and speaks in a sweet voice.

Wen Shuyi reached out and took it, thanking her politely, "Thank you, but you don't need to be so polite."

"You're welcome. I heard from Gu Lin that you and President Sheng are getting married. How about we have a group wedding?" She turned to Gu Lin, seeking his opinion. "Is that alright, Dr. Gu?"

Jiang Wan's tone sounded exactly like she was being coquettish.

Her body pressed tightly against Gu Lin's, as soft and yielding as a kitten.

Ye Tang, standing to the side, scoffed, "A group wedding is great! Fu Li and I will sign up too. The three of us couples will definitely make it lively."

Song Fuli just gave an awkward smile.

Gu Lin's expression was extremely unpleasant.

Jiang Wan hugged Gu Lin's arm, twisted her body, and continued to act coquettishly, "Gu Lin, what do you think?"

"That's great. As President Ye said, it'll be lively."

"Then it's settled." Jiang Wan was in a great mood.

She helped Wen Shuyi prepare the grill for the meat.

Song Fuli and Sheng Tingwang were discussing matters.

Ye Tang sat under the parasol, her fingertips lightly touching the stem of the glass, slowly swirling the red wine inside.

She seemed a little lost in thought.

The gaze directed at the artificial fountain in the distance was detached, as if looking at nothingness.

Gu Lin walked over, pulled out the wicker chair next to her, and sat down.

"Shouldn't we have had the wedding a long time ago?" His voice carried a deliberately casual tone. "Why has it been delayed until now?"

"I'm busy with rituals," she replied briefly.

"Is he busy, or does he not want to marry you anymore?" Gu Lin's lips curled into a smile, a smile that seemed to carry a barb. "If a man really wants to marry a woman, he can't wait even a minute longer. If I remember correctly, it's been quite a while, hasn't it?"

His words still carried the temper of those days.

That feeling of resentment after being let down.

It still seems to be burning.

Ye Tang turned her gaze indifferently, her eyes landing on his profile.

Time seems to have left little mark on him; he remains the same, adept at using a light laugh to mask seriousness and using provocation to conceal his concerns.

She and he were each other's first love.

Ye Tang still remembers their first meeting.

It was snowing heavily that day, and the campus was covered in white. The snow was so thick that it reached above the ankles.

She had just slipped and fallen on the slope in front of the library, and the pain was making her numb.

Watching people slip and fall and get up again, she could only stand aside, too frightened to move.

Gu Lin rode over slowly on a small electric scooter.

The car stopped in front of her, and she pushed up her helmet visor to reveal a pair of smiling eyes.

"Hey, waiting for someone?" He exhaled a puff of white breath. "Waiting for your boyfriend?"

"I don't have a boyfriend." Her tone was harsh; the sore tailbone from the fall made her extremely irritable. "Is there something you need?"

"Now you have it." He smiled and patted the back seat, saying sincerely, "Get in, I'll take you to the infirmary. The tires on this car are non-slip."

He then pointed to his outstretched leg, "With the added assistance of manual braking, don't worry, you won't fall."

At that time, Ye Tang thought this person was a bit neurotic.

Perhaps it was because his laughter was too open, or perhaps she really didn't want to fall again, but she actually turned and sat down on it.

The electric scooter started slowly, and she clutched the hem of his coat on the back seat. The wind and snow hit her face, but surprisingly she didn't feel cold.

Later, he would often "accidentally" appear at the corner of the teaching building, at the entrance of the cafeteria, and downstairs in the dormitory.

He would always say, "It's on my way, I'll give you a ride," and then drive her through tree-lined paths strewn with fallen leaves, through the afternoons filled with the chirping of cicadas in the height of summer, and along the golden ginkgo avenues in autumn.

Despite the narrow back seat of the electric scooter, she felt safer than anywhere else.

They naturally ended up together.

Campus romance is as simple as a fruit candy wrapped in transparent wrapper—purely sweet and dazzlingly bright.

He would take her to eat hot porridge at the school gate after evening self-study, he would put her frozen red hands into his coat pockets, and he would make some childish but touching vows under the starry sky.

Looking back on that time, it was as beautiful as an overly realistic dream, even the air we breathed smelled sweet.

such a pity.

That bubble has long since burst and vanished without a trace.

Ye Tang pulled her wandering thoughts back, lowered her eyes slightly, and looked down at her bare ring finger.

"Yes, Song Fuli has no intention of marrying me at all," she said, her voice as soft as a sigh. "I'm destined to be abandoned. After all..."

She raised her eyes to look at Gu Lin, a very faint smile curving her lips. "I've abandoned others before, haven't I? What goes around comes around."

Gu Lin's mocking smile suddenly froze.

The smile that hadn't yet faded was frozen on his face.

His expression changed, and a complex mix of emotions welled up in his eyes.

Distressed.

awkward.

Or perhaps it's embarrassing?

He looked away, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. "You still know that karma is a cycle, this is what they call retribution, it's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet."

"Aren't you especially happy that I've gotten my comeuppance?"

She smiled, her teasing revealing an unnatural vulnerability.

Gu Lin turned his head and looked at Ye Tang.

Eyes facing each other.

Her reddened eyes still stung his eyes. He looked away and replied calmly, "Of course."

"Gu Lin, are you disappointed? To be honest."

Gu Lin chuckled, "A person who has been abandoned wouldn't have any regrets. But he does have a bit of a vengeful streak."

"So, you've gone to love someone else?"

She thought Jiang Wan was nice, but not suitable for Gu Lin.

She knows Gu Lin too well.

Gu Lin doesn't like girls with this kind of personality.

"Besides, your tastes have changed. Is she really right for you?"

He glanced at her indifferently. "What do you mean? Size?"

Gu Lin deliberately embarrassed Ye Tang.

He succeeded.

Ye Tang's expression lost its composure, and her voice turned cold, "I don't want to hear about what you two do in bed. Don't be so eager to share."
