Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Zheng Yanyan stopped breathing for a moment, almost forgetting she had ever said that.

What is Lu Lin trying to say by mentioning it in front of Zhou Yuwen?

Zheng Yanyan got anxious and said, "I said that back in freshman year! How do you still remember it!"

But Lu Lin simply said, "Anyway, I owe you nothing!"

At this moment, Zheng Yanyan really wanted to cry, but she couldn't; instead, she looked at Zhou Yuwen. Unlike Su Qing, she didn't start crying and making a fuss.

This matter had too great an impact on Zheng Yanyan. If Su Qing was right, it meant Zhou Yuwen had been with other women behind her back all along.

Who could accept that, right?

So, Zheng Yanyan could only pin her last hope on Zhou Yuwen.

Her eyes were red as she looked at Zhou Yuwen, making Zhou Yuwen embarrassed to meet her gaze.

Actually, Zheng Yanyan wanted to relent at this moment, to act cute and then throw a tantrum, but when the words came to her lips, she just asked with a sour nose, "Is what they're saying true?"

Zhou Yuwen indeed felt guilty toward Zheng Yanyan, but at this point, saying anything more would just be annoying, so after a long silence, Zhou Yuwen said, "I'm sorry."

As soon as he spoke, Zheng Yanyan turned and left.

Tears did come out, but Zheng Yanyan held them back.

Leaving now counted as maintaining the last shred of dignity. Staying behind and clinging would really be undignified.

"Yanyan!"

Shen Yu watched everything happening clearly. As she saw Zheng Yanyan open the door and leave, Shen Yu instinctively chased after her.

She definitely wanted to leave. She had wanted to go since earlier, but there was never an opportunity.

If she didn't leave now,

would she stay and watch Zhou Yuwen, Su Qing, and Lu Lin flaunt their affection?

After Zheng Yanyan left, the large apartment quietly fell into silence.

Lu Lin got slapped, and Zhou Yuwen's first move was certainly to check on Lu Lin's condition. But Lu Lin waved it off, saying it was nothing, and instead showed concern for Zheng Yanyan.

She asked Zhou Yuwen if he wasn't going to chase after her.

Zhou Yuwen thought for a moment and said, "With Shen Yu following, it should be okay."

After that, Zhou Yuwen turned to look at Su Qing.

Actually, Su Qing wasn't eager to deal with Zheng Yanyan; she had just been enjoying the drama. Now that Zheng Yanyan was in trouble, Su Qing couldn't be happier, but seeing Zhou Yuwen's expression.

Reluctantly, but with a bit of understanding.

"Should I also go and check?"

"Mm, okay."

"..."

Su Qing realized she had been too talkative, vainly hoping Zhou Yuwen would ask her to stay.

There's no helping it, really. After so much had happened, it was truly awkward for the three of them to stay together. The best solution was to send everyone else away, giving him the chance to comfort Lu Lin properly.

After Su Qing left, Zhou Yuwen took out the household medicine box and applied some ointment to Lu Lin's slightly reddened cheek.

Zheng Yanyan hadn't held back at all with that slap. Upon closer inspection, Lu Lin's half cheek was slightly swollen. Zhou Yuwen let Lu Lin sit on the sofa while he stood to apply the ointment.

Lu Lin said she was fine.

"I was too impulsive just now, I shouldn't have said so much to her."

"What nonsense; she should have been told earlier. It's good this way," Zhou Yuwen said while applying the ointment.

With these words, Lu Lin's spirits were visibly low. She felt that today, Zheng Yanyan was genuinely angry and might never forgive Zhou Yuwen and herself.

Which meant, because of her, Zhou Yuwen lost a woman.

Lu Lin felt that she wasn't as pretty as Zheng Yanyan, and her family was not as good either. So a loss for Zhou Yuwen because of her seemed unworthy. After Zhou Yuwen finished applying the medicine, Lu Lin took the opportunity to hug Zhou Yuwen's waist and rested her head on his abdomen.

But Zhou Yuwen comfortingly patted Lu Lin's head and said, "Those who want to stay won't be driven away, and those who want to leave can't be held back."

Zheng Yanyan seemed to suffer an immense grievance, frantically pressing the button for the first floor several times in the elevator, fearing it would descend too slowly, and then ran out of the building with red eyes.

Property manager Huang Xiaoyuan was sitting there comfortably when she saw a girl crying and running past. Before she could react, she saw another girl chasing after.

Then Su Qing followed out as well.

In the blink of an eye, three girls ran past.

Oh, the matters of Mr. Zhou's family are more captivating than the drama "Empresses in the Palace."

Huang Xiaoyuan had gotten used to it.

Zheng Yanyan ran into the community with a rush and then leaned against a pillar to cry.

After Shen Yu found Zheng Yanyan, she started comforting her to not cry anymore.

But Zheng Yanyan turned around and hugged Shen Yu, crying even more.

Shen Yu patted her shoulder, saying what's past is past.

"It's not too late to see that person clearly now."

Speaking of recognizing Zhou Yuwen's true nature,

Zheng Yanyan's sobbing came to an abrupt stop.

Only now did she realize.

Zhou Yuwen cheated.

She shouldn't forgive him.

Which meant...

Are the two done again?

Can't be with Zhou Yuwen anymore?

Thinking about not being able to be with Zhou Yuwen in the future.

Zheng Yanyan's nose started to tingle again, she wanted to say she didn't want to part with Zhou Yuwen.

But no matter what, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Shen Yu was understanding, she had feelings for Zhou Yuwen, but understanding this kind of thing...

It's also hard to judge.

The focus now is on comforting Zheng Yanyan.

So Shen Yu held Zheng Yanyan's hand and said, "Come on, let's go back to the dorm."

Zheng Yanyan was crying and didn't respond, but when Shen Yu pulled her along, she didn't refuse.

After Su Qing left, she saw Zheng Yanyan and Shen Yu leaving, followed them from behind, and sent a message to Zhou Yuwen saying she was going back to the dorm with Shen Yu and Zheng Yanyan.

After returning to the dorm, Shen Yu first brought Zheng Yanyan to take a hot bath, feeling comfortable and washing away the fatigue. Zheng Yanyan was still upset but had stopped crying, though her eyes were a bit red.

She hadn't returned to the dorm for several months, the bed was no longer suitable for sleeping. Shen Yu let Zheng Yanyan stay with her for the night.

Zheng Yanyan was somewhat moved, hugged Shen Yu, and said, "Shen Yu, you're still good to me. I really was blind. I thought if I treated Lu Lin well, she would remember my kindness. I never dreamed I was raising such an ingrate."

"Uh, that's a bit extreme." Su Qing, who also returned to the dorm, was a bit embarrassed hearing this.

She said frankly that it really wasn't Lu Lin being raised by you.

"If anyone raised her, it was Zhou Yuwen."

Being teased by Su Qing, Zheng Yanyan was quite annoyed and angrily asked, "Why are you here? Are you here to laugh at me!"

Su Qing said, "This is my dorm, isn't it normal for me to be here?"

"You!" Before she could finish her sentence, Zheng Yanyan's eyes reddened again.

Luckily, Shen Yu was there to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright, it's getting late, let's rest early."

Out of regard for Shen Yu, Zheng Yanyan didn't continue to argue with Su Qing. She was full of grievances, and even if the lights were turned off, she definitely couldn't fall asleep.

Snuggled by Shen Yu on a dorm bed, Zheng Yanyan tossed and turned, finally unable to hold back confiding in Shen Yu, saying that she had misjudged people.

"And that Zhou Yuwen, I should've seen his true colors earlier, he's just a jerk!" Speaking of Zhou Yuwen, Zheng Yanyan gritted her teeth.

She really saw through Zhou Yuwen this time.

She vowed never to get involved with Zhou Yuwen again.

Su Qing felt that it was fine for Zheng Yanyan to curse Lu Lin, but it wasn't necessary to curse Zhou Yuwen.

"Because at that time you insisted on clinging to him! You were the one who pursued Zhou Yuwen, not the other way around."

Zheng Yanyan said, "Well, I didn't know he was a jerk!"

"It's also your fault! You knew he was a jerk, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zheng Yanyan whimpered.

Su Qing scorned, "I didn't know, and I don't think Zhou Yuwen is a jerk."

"With everything like this, isn't he still not a jerk!" Zheng Yanyan said tearfully.

Su Qing simply closed her eyes pretending to sleep.

Actually, Zheng Yanyan wasn't criticizing anyone now, she was just purely upset, wanting to say something to anyone she met, and seeing Su Qing ignoring her made her even more gloomy, muttering to herself, 'You're all bullying me, Su Qing you're also bullying me.'

"You're just looking to laugh at me!"

Su Qing continued to stay silent.

"Shen Yu look, she's ignoring me!" Zheng Yanyan became more distressed seeing Su Qing ignoring her.

Shen Yu patted her on the back saying it's okay.

"Everything will pass, we just won't associate with them in the future."

Hearing this, Zheng Yanyan thought about completely separating from Zhou Yuwen and Lu Lin, still feeling somewhat pained but recalling the harm they caused her.

Zheng Yanyan made up her mind again, "Right! I must stay away from jerks! None of them are good, they've bullied me like this!"

"He just guessed that I couldn't leave him, he definitely thought I'd beg him again, this time I won't beg him!" Reflecting on how she always grovelled before Zhou Yuwen, she thought of herself as a clown, she's never going to do that again.

Shen Yu firmly nodded in support of Zheng Yanyan's decision.

Zheng Yanyan said, "This time I won't beg him, I'll become better, I'll make him beg me!"

"???"

Shen Yu was startled.

Zheng Yanyan pouted seriously, "I'll make him regret, Shen Yu, tell me, in what way is Lu Lin better than me?"

"It's not."

The more Shen Yu listened, the more absurd it seemed.

Shen Yu said, "You're letting Zhou Yuwen beg you?"

"Yes!"

Zheng Yanyan nodded.

Shen Yu said, "You've decided to separate from him, why make him beg you?"

"I..."

Zheng Yanyan was momentarily speechless.

Being looked at by Shen Yu for a long time, she ultimately couldn't help but cry saying, "Shen Yu, I still miss him... sob sob..."

Shen Yu felt quite speechless hearing this but could only hug Zheng Yanyan and comfort her saying it will be better in a while.
