"What's the point of breaking up?"
Lizi's emotions instantly dropped.
"Is what Principal Gan Zhe said true? Is there really that man?"
The moment Zhao Xue opened her mouth, she realized she had asked the wrong question.
However, since she had already brought it up, she might as well go all the way.
She really could not believe that her beloved senior sister would be that kind of person.
Lizi did not hesitate and decisively answered: "Yeah. Of course there's a man like that. Otherwise, how could I have afforded a car just after entering the society?"
Zhao Xue and Tan Qin covered their mouths, their eyes full of disbelief.
"Haha." Lizi suddenly laughed and said, "I'm kidding! Do you know who that man is?"
Zhao Xue and Tan Qin shook their heads in unison.
"My dad. Who else could be so generous? Did you really think my body was that valuable?" Lizi casually revealed the man behind it.
Zhao Xue and Tan Qin were confused.
What?
That's it?
They had originally prepared themselves to hear a winding and incredible story of coercion.
But they really, really did not expect the truth of the matter to be so unexpected.
"Then why don't you explain it clearly to Principal Gan Zhe? He will definitely come back," Zhao Xue said anxiously. She did not want to see a couple break up because of a misunderstanding.
Mainly because she had been watching too many Korean dramas lately.
She hated to see couples ending tragically because of misunderstandings.
"Explain? Why should I explain?"
Lizi picked up the wine glass and took a gentle sip.
A bright red lip print was clearly visible on the rim of the glass.
"This..."
Zhao Xue did not know what to say. It seemed the other party intended to break up from the beginning.
"Do you still want to hear my story now?"
Lizi held the wine glass in her hand and gently swayed it as she slowly told a different story.
"Your Principal Gan Zhe may be a good man."
"But my breakup was not just because he was poor. To be honest, my family is quite well-off."
The two good girls nodded. How could someone from a poor family afford a BMW right after entering the society?
"I didn't actually care much about how successful he could be. I only asked for a stable job for him."
"But what about him? He plays games in the dormitory every day, saying that being an accompanying gamer, booster, and top streamer can earn a lot of money."
"Of course I'm not talking about you two, don't get me wrong."
Lizi felt a little embarrassed. In her mindset, games were just games and could not earn much money.
However, the two people in front of her seemed to have already proven otherwise.
There really were people willing to spend such expensive prices to hire accompanying gamers.
While she knew that, Lizi's heart held no regrets.
"Mm-hmm," Zhao Xue said, "We just got lucky and met a big boss. We usually only earn some pocket money. And we may not even have a job next month. Please continue, Sister Lizi."
"I did give him opportunities. I advised him many times that not everyone can realize the dream of professional gaming."
"But he didn't listen. He kept telling me how much money he could earn."
"At first, I would listen. But later, I also learned that while there were people like that, they were one in ten thousand."
"So I found him a job without even needing an interview. As long as he went to work."
"But he thought the salary was too low, 6,000 a month. It's not easy for a new graduate to find high-paying jobs."
"My original plan was to bring him back to meet my parents during New Year's and settle our engagement."
"We could get married next year after his graduation. His three years of pursuit were not lost on me."
"But now, he still doesn't even have a formal job. Whenever I bring this up, he just makes empty promises."
"I didn't ask much of him, just that his job was stable. My family wouldn't have had too many objections."
"But like this? How could I bring him back?"
"How would I introduce him? As an unemployed wanderer?"
"Gradually, other thoughts arose within me. Our future was full of confusion."
"I even felt he was still stuck in a childish stage, somewhat immature."
"Especially today, it completely severed my last shred of imagination."
"Suspicion - he may have never believed in me to begin with. I don't want to explain or be bothered to explain."
"And the handbags, lipsticks, cosmetics... He only seemed to see his own expenses."
"Forgetting that almost all the clothes on him..."
Her voice gradually faded as she spoke until she fell asleep in a daze.
Just now, she was telling the story while drinking one cup after another.
The two good girls had listened with rapt attention and forgotten to stop her.
"Speaking of which, Principal Gan Zhe's clothing did leave much to be desired at the beginning," Zhao Xue said, turning to Tan Qin. "Only after dating Sister Lizi did he become a bit stylish. People depend on clothes just as a good horse depends on a good saddle."
Tan Qin ignored her and anxiously looked at the passed out Lizi, "Why say so much useless stuff? Let's think about how to get sister back."
The two suddenly remembered they had come over in sister's car.
And neither of them had a driver's license.
How were they going to get back? This was troublesome.
"Call Principal Gan Zhe?"
Zhao Xue made a flooded brain circuitry suggestion.
Tan Qin looked at her coldly, as if to admonish her stupidity.
"How was dinner?"
A text message abruptly popped up.
Zhao Xue's phone just happened to be facing up on the table.
Zhao Xue took a look at Tan Qin, "The boss is checking in."
Tan Qin rolled her eyes, "Why not ask the boss what to do? He's experienced many things and must know how to handle this."
In an unknown small town villa bedroom, Ye Bufan looked at the text message on his phone, full of puzzlement.
"How to deal with a woman who got drunk at a hot pot restaurant?"
Was this even a question?
Which boss could withstand such an examination?
"Is she pretty?"
Ye Bufan's mind hadn't made the connection yet before his fingers had already sent out the message.
Recall message
Just before Zhao Xue saw the text, Ye Bufan swiftly recalled the message.
"Ah, I meant, where is your location?"
"Pujie Hot Pot Restaurant, Pujie Commercial Street, Qingjie City."
Zhao Xue's thumbs danced swiftly across her phone.
In the blink of an eye, the text was edited and sent out.
"Why didn't you send the location?"
Tan Qin looked at her roommate with increasing eyes that resembled looking at a patient with brain damage and flooding.
Help! Is being with someone with brain damage contagious?
Urgent, waiting online.
"Oh right."
Zhao Xue slapped her head and decisively sent the location via text.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...five minutes later, the boss finally replied: "Just wait there. The nearby Qingjie Grand Hotel belongs to my family. Someone will come get you then. Just follow them."
