At this moment, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
No one doubted their relationship anymore.
Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap.
This truly stunned everyone!
Lin Xuan and Su Hua were actually together—this was explosive news.
Everyone was posting about it on the forum.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Big news! Lin Xuan and Su Hua are together!"
They even attached secretly taken photos.
The two stunningly attractive individuals stood side by side, an undeniably pleasing sight.
"No wonder Lin Xuan didn’t care about Qin Ruoyao anymore. Turns out he’s with Su Hua. Su Hua has looks, talent, and controls Su Corporation, the largest company in Xia Country. With a girlfriend like her, who would still look at Qin Ruoyao?"
"If I had a girlfriend like Su Hua, I’d wake up laughing from my dreams."
"Lin Xuan is really impressive to have won over Su Hua as his girlfriend."
"..."
Lin Xuan frowned. "Hua Bao, you..." He hesitated, then stopped himself.
"Hmm? What is it?" Su Hua raised her eyes.
"Nothing." Lin Xuan shook his head. Since Su Hua had openly revealed their relationship, she probably didn’t mind it being exposed.
"Hua Bao, I’m going to class now."
"Okay." Su Hua nodded, her eyes curving into a smile.
Su Hua’s lips curled into a triumphant smile.
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Was this still the icy CEO Su they had seen at the opening ceremony?
The hearts of the girls who secretly admired Lin Xuan were completely shattered.
With a woman like Su Hua by his side, Lin Xuan wouldn’t spare them a single glance.
And with Su Hua’s wealth and power, daring to covet her would be suicidal.
Qin Ruoyao also witnessed this scene. She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with jealousy.
Lin Xuan, just wait!
Qin Ruoyao’s expression darkened. I’ll make you kneel and beg to be with me someday!
Li Siyu looked at Qin Ruoyao with concern. "Yao Yao, are you okay?"
Yao Yao liked Lin Xuan so much, and now Lin Xuan had brought his girlfriend to school. Yao Yao must be heartbroken.
"What’s the big deal?" Qin Ruoyao sneered. "Isn’t he just into attaching himself to the rich and powerful? I, Qin Ruoyao, don’t care for that kind of person. If he doesn’t like me, I won’t degrade myself by clinging to him. With my looks, plenty of men are into me. He’s not the only one."
Li Siyu frowned.
Was Yao Yao turning love into hatred?
The PR department of Su Corporation was working overtime.
The news of CEO Su and Young Master Lin publicly revealing their relationship at school was huge and could easily become a nationwide sensation.
But Su Hua had specifically instructed that, apart from the scope of Qinghua University, their relationship was not to be leaked outside.
Su Hua was worried that someone might target Lin Xuan and harm him.
Luo Yuan, Qin Ruoyao’s admirer, hadn’t been to school for over two weeks.
He stumbled to Qin Ruoyao’s house in a daze. In the past few days, all the family’s money had been lost, the factory had been mortgaged to the bank, and his father had suffered a heart attack and was now in the ICU. Yao Yao had been comforting him over the phone these days.
He was too overwhelmed and miserable.
Today happened to be Yao Yao’s birthday, so he spent the little money he had left to buy her a small cake, hoping to see her and talk.
The door to the Qin family’s house was open. Qin Ruoyao and her mother were talking in the living room.
"Yao Yao, how are things between you and Luo Yuan and Lin Xuan now?" Qin Ruoyao’s mother asked.
A flash of hatred crossed Qin Ruoyao’s eyes.
"Mom, I don’t even want to deal with Lin Xuan, that gold-digger."
"As for Luo Yuan," Qin Ruoyao curled her lips in disdain, "he’s just a useless simp."
Luo Yuan’s eyes widened.
Why was Yao Yao talking about him like this…?
Qin Ruoyao snorted. "I only got along with Luo Yuan because he was generous and acted like a simp. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered with him."
"Now that his family’s company has gone bankrupt and they’re drowning in debt, he keeps calling me. If it weren’t for maintaining my image, I wouldn’t even answer his calls."
*Thud—*
The cake Luo Yuan had brought fell to the ground.
"Who’s there?" Qin Ruoyao and her mother walked over.
"Luo Yuan, why are you here?"
Panic flashed in Qin Ruoyao’s eyes.
Luo Yuan stood at the door. Had he heard what she just said?
"Yao Yao, was what you just said a lie?" Luo Yuan gripped Qin Ruoyao’s shoulders, his voice trembling.
Qin Ruoyao shook off Luo Yuan’s hands. Since he had already seen her true colors, she couldn’t be bothered to keep up the act.
"It’s true," Qin Ruoyao said coldly.
"Yao Yao, you…" Luo Yuan stared at Qin Ruoyao in shock.
"You’re useless. If it weren’t for your money, why would I have been so nice to you?" Qin Ruoyao lifted her chin, her face filled with disgust.
Money?
She had only been nice to him because of his money.
"Ha ha ha ha—"
Luo Yuan stared at Qin Ruoyao for several seconds before letting out a bitter, mocking laugh.
So, all this time, he had been played like a fool by Qin Ruoyao!
"Qin Ruoyao, give me back the money I spent on you!" Luo Yuan said through gritted teeth.
"Luo Yuan, you gave me the money because you wanted to pursue me. I never forced you! You gave me two million, and in return, I treated you well. Isn’t that enough? I’m not giving that money back!" Qin Ruoyao said coldly.
"Qin Ruoyao, that was my father’s life-saving money! My dad is in the ICU now and needs 400,000 for treatment. If you have any conscience, give me 400,000! I won’t ask for the rest!" Luo Yuan’s veins bulged on the back of his hand.
"Your father’s illness isn’t my fault. Why should I give you money?" Qin Ruoyao sneered. "I’m not giving you a cent. What can you even do about it?"
Luo Yuan’s strength drained away.
Yes, there was nothing he could do…
He had always given Qin Ruoyao cash privately or bought her gifts. All the receipts had been taken by Qin Ruoyao. He had no evidence to prove that he had given her most of his money.
"Qin Ruoyao, just wait."
Luo Yuan clenched his fists and stormed out.
After getting off the bus, Luo Yuan wandered aimlessly toward his home. Their small villa had already been mortgaged, and today was the day they had to move out…
The company was gone, the house was gone, and his father was in the ICU.
The bank refused to lend them money, and all their relatives and friends had distanced themselves after the family went bankrupt.
He had sold everything he could, but it still wasn’t enough to cover his father’s medical expenses.
There was only one option left… borrowing from loan sharks.
In front of his family’s villa, Luo Yuan saw a familiar figure.
It was Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan never sought him out.
"Lin Xuan, are you here to laugh at me?"
Luo Yuan let out a self-mocking laugh. "Yeah, I’m a joke, aren’t I? Lin Xuan, you saw through Qin Ruoyao’s true nature long ago. It’s only me who’s been fooled all this time."
"I’m not here to laugh at you," Lin Xuan said calmly.
"If not to laugh, then why?" Luo Yuan frowned. He and Lin Xuan had always been rivals because of Qin Ruoyao. He couldn’t imagine why else Lin Xuan would come to him.
