Chapter 90: Qin Ruoyao and Luo Yuan’s Falling Out
At this moment, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
No one doubted their relationship anymore.
Holy crap!
This completely blew everyone away!
Lin Xuan and Su Hua were actually together—this was explosive news!
Everyone on the forums was posting about it.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Big news! Lin Xuan and Su Hua are together!]
They even posted secretly taken photos.
The two stunningly good-looking pairs standing together were an absolute feast for the eyes.
“No wonder Lin Xuan didn’t care for Qin Ruoyao; he’s with Su Hua now. She’s beautiful, talented, and controls Suzhou Group, the biggest company in the country. With a girlfriend like her, who would still look at Qin Ruoyao?”
“Having a girlfriend like Su Hua, I’d be smiling in my dreams.”
“Lin Xuan is so cool—he actually got someone as amazing as Su Hua.”
“…”
Lin Xuan frowned. “Hua Bao, you…” He hesitated.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?” Su Hua looked up.
“Nothing.” Lin Xuan shook his head. Since Su Hua had willingly revealed herself, she probably didn’t mind their relationship being exposed.
“Hua Bao, I’m going to class then.”
“Mm-hmm.” Su Hua nodded with a gentle smile.
Su Hua’s lips curved upward, carrying a victorious grin.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Was this really the same Ice Queen Su Zong they saw at the opening ceremony?
“I can guarantee that Su Zong must really like Lin Xuan! Otherwise, how could an ice queen melt into such tenderness?”
“Lin Xuan is the man!”
The hearts of all the girls who secretly admired Lin Xuan finally shattered.
With someone like Su Hua by his side, why would Lin Xuan even glance at them?
Besides, Su Hua was rich and powerful—anyone daring to covet her would be signing their own death warrant.
Qin Ruoyao also witnessed this scene, her teeth clenched in anger, jealousy burning in her eyes.
Lin Xuan, just wait!
Qin Ruoyao scowled, “One day, I’ll make you kneel and beg me to be with you!”
Li Siyu worriedly looked at Qin Ruoyao. “Yao Yao, are you okay?”
Yao Yao liked Lin Xuan so much, but now Lin Xuan showed up with his girlfriend—Yao Yao must be in pain.
“So what?” Qin Ruoyao coldly laughed. “Isn’t he just someone who likes to cling to wealth and power? Someone like him, I wouldn’t even bother with. If he doesn’t want me, I won’t degrade myself to chase after him. With my looks, plenty of men are interested in me—I don’t need him.”
Li Siyu frowned.
Is Yao Yao feeling hatred because of unrequited love?
Suzhou Group’s PR department was working overtime.
The revelation of Su Zong and Young Master Lin’s relationship at school was too big of a deal—it could easily become national gossip.
However, Su Zong specifically instructed that beyond Shangqing University, their relationship should not leak out.
She didn’t want it to interfere with Lin Xuan’s normal life.
—
Luo Yuan hadn’t been to school for over two weeks.
He aimlessly arrived at Qin Ruoyao’s house. Recently, all the family money was gone, the factory was mortgaged to the bank, Dad had a heart attack and was admitted to ICU, and these days, Yao Yao often consoled him over the phone.
He felt suffocated and miserable.
It just happened to be Yao Yao’s birthday today, so he spent what little money he had left to buy her a small cake and wanted to meet her to talk.
The door to the Qin residence wasn’t locked.
Qin Mother and Qin Ruoyao were chatting in the living room.
“Yao Yao, how are things between you and Luo Yuan and Lin Xuan?” Qin Mother asked.
A flash of hatred crossed Qin Ruoyao’s eyes.
“Mom, Lin Xuan is just some guy who leeches off others—I don’t even want to deal with him.”
“As for Luo Yuan,” Qin Ruoyao disdainfully rolled her eyes. “Just some useless lapdog.”
Luo Yuan’s eyes widened.
Why was Yao Yao saying such things about him…?
Qin Ruoyao huffed. “The only reason I ever associated with Luo Yuan was because he was generous and acted like a lapdog. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered with him.”
“These past few days, his company went bankrupt, and he owes a ton of money. He keeps calling me every day, but if it weren’t for maintaining my image, I wouldn’t even give him the time of day.”
“Smash—”
The cake Luo Yuan brought fell to the ground.
“Who’s there?” Both Qin Ruoyao and Qin Mother rushed over.
“Luo Yuan, is that you?”
Qin Ruoyao’s eyes flashed with panic.
Did Luo Yuan hear what she just said?
“Yao Yao, were the things you just said… lies?” Luo Yuan gripped Qin Ruoyao’s shoulders, his voice trembling.
Qin Ruoyao shoved Luo Yuan’s hands away. Before, she might’ve pretended, but now that Luo Yuan knew the truth, she didn’t feel the need to fake it anymore.
“It’s true.” Qin Ruoyao coldly replied.
“Yao Yao, you…” Luo Yuan stared at Qin Ruoyao in shock.
“You’re utterly useless—if it weren’t for your money, why would I even bother associating with you?” Qin Ruoyao lifted her chin, her face full of disgust.
Money?
She only associated with him because of his money.
“Hahahaha—”
Luo Yuan stared at Qin Ruoyao for several seconds before bursting into bitter laughter.
So, he had been played by Qin Ruoyao all along!
Luo Yuan seethed with anger, clenching his fists and lunging toward Qin Ruoyao. But right before he hit her face, he stopped.
No, no, he couldn’t hit Qin Ruoyao.
With her personality, she’d definitely call the police. He couldn’t go to jail—what would happen to his dad lying in the hospital?
Luo Yuan’s hands dropped limply.
“Qin Ruoyao, give me back the money you spent!” Luo Yuan gritted his teeth.
Qin Ruoyao frequently complained about being broke in front of him. Now that his dad was in ICU, he hadn’t thought about reclaiming the money. Originally, he planned to take out a loan—even a high-interest one if necessary.
How foolish he was to think so much of Qin Ruoyao, only for her to treat him this way!
All he wanted now was to get his money back—all of it! Not a single cent would go to someone as fake as Qin Ruoyao!
“Luo Yuan, you gave me the money because you wanted to pursue me. I never forced you to! You gave me two million, and I treated you well—that should be enough, right? There’s no way I’ll return that money to you!” Qin Ruoyao coldly stated.
“Qin Ruoyao, that’s my dad’s life-saving money! My dad is in ICU and needs 400,000 for medical fees. If you had any conscience, you’d give me 400,000! I won’t ask for the rest!” Luo Yuan’s veins bulged on his hand.
Right now, all he cared about was getting enough money for his dad’s treatment!
“Why should I give you money? It’s not my fault your dad is sick!” Qin Ruoyao scoffed. “Even if I gave you nothing, there’s nothing you can do about it!”
Luo Yuan’s strength drained from his body.
That’s right, there’s nothing he could do… All the cash he gave to Qin Ruoyao privately, or the gifts he bought her, the receipts were all taken by her. He had no proof that he gave most of his money to Qin Ruoyao.
“Luo Yuan, this is my house. I don’t welcome you here. Leave immediately, or I’ll report you for trespassing!” Qin Ruoyao pointed toward the door.
“Qin Ruoyao, you’ll pay for this.”
Luo Yuan clenched his fists tightly and stormed out.
After getting off the bus, Luo Yuan wandered aimlessly toward his home. Their small villa had already been mortgaged—they were moving out today…
No company, no house, and Dad was in ICU.
The bank wouldn’t lend them money, and all their relatives and friends stayed far away after their bankruptcy.
He sold everything he could, but it still wasn’t enough to cover his dad’s medical expenses.
Now, he could only resort to high-interest loans…
In front of his villa, Luo Yuan spotted a familiar figure.
It was Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan never initiated contact with him.
“Lin Xuan, are you here to mock me?”
As he spoke, Luo Yuan bitterly laughed again. “Yeah, I’m just a joke. Lin Xuan, you figured out Qin Ruoyao’s true nature long ago, but I was blind to it the whole time.”
He was such a fool!
All his efforts for Qin Ruoyao turned out to be a joke!
“I’m not here to mock you.” Lin Xuan said indifferently.
“If you’re not here to mock me, then what are you doing here?” Luo Yuan furrowed his brows. Because of Qin Ruoyao, he and Lin Xuan had always been rivals. He couldn’t imagine why Lin Xuan would come looking for him otherwise.
