Chapter 66

Yang Xiaoli heard Lu Xin's phone ring; the sound came from his backpack. She opened his backpack to take out the phone but saw two exquisitely crafted and dazzling platinum diamond necklaces and a pair of elegant flower-shaped 18k gold diamond rings. The necklaces were in beautiful packaging boxes, but the rings were not.

Yang Xiaoli had always wanted a diamond ring and often visited jewelry stores, so she knew the value of these necklaces and rings. Together, they should be worth more than 50,000 yuan.

She knew that these necklaces and rings were definitely not bought for her, as she had blocked Lu Xin's phone number and he hadn't found her. It was impossible for him to know she was coming to see him today.

Thinking back to Lu Xin's past generosity, and comparing it to her first boyfriend who only talked big and never bought her anything valuable, Yang Xiaoli looked at the dazzling necklaces and rings before her and came to a conclusion: Lu Xin was a truly low-key rich second-generation, and she had been blind, mistaking a true rich second-generation for a poor one and a poor one for a rich one.

Stimulated by the necklaces and rings, Yang Xiaoli made a decision to follow Ma Yali's example and forgive Lu Xin for his affair with the woman next door.

After leaving Zhou Ya's room, Lu Xin realized he had forgotten his room key. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Yang Xiaoli opened it and smiled at him, "What did you go out to do just now?"

Lu Xin looked at Yang Xiaoli in surprise. The room's soundproofing was so poor, and Zhou Ya had been so loud. Had Yang Xiaoli not heard anything at all? Was she not at all suspicious?

Yang Xiaoli smiled again, "Honey, what are you standing there for? Come in quickly!"

Lu Xin walked into the room with some suspicion, still puzzled by Yang Xiaoli's smile. Yang Xiaoli handed him the phone with a smile, "Answer the phone quickly!"

He picked up the phone and saw it was from his newly recognized godmother, Shen Yafang, the head of the group company's publicity department. Lu Xin was hoping to climb the ranks with Shen Yafang's help, so he quickly answered, "Godmother, hello."

"San Jin, why did it take you so long to answer the phone? Were you being intimate with your girlfriend?" Shen Yafang asked with a hidden agenda.

Lu Xin glanced at Yang Xiaoli and smiled into the phone, "Godmother, I broke up with my previous girlfriend a long time ago, two months ago."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoli's heart sank to the bottom.

"Then you should have time tonight. Come over and have dinner with your godmother and your god-sister. After dinner, help your god-sister with her composition," Shen Yafang said with a smile. "I remember you are a top graduate from Jiangnan University of Science and Technology. Your high school grades must have been excellent. Help Lu Lu with her other subjects too."

Lu Xin smiled, "I had dinner at your place yesterday, and I'll have it there again tonight. As long as you don't mind, I'll come over for a free meal!"

Shen Yafang giggled, "Stop talking nonsense and come over quickly!"

After hanging up, Lu Xin checked the time; it was already 6:30 PM. No wonder Shen Yafang wanted him to hurry.

Yang Xiaoli looked at Lu Xin pitifully, "Can't you forgive me just this once?"

Lu Xin glanced at her coldly and smiled, "Forgive you for what?"

Yang Xiaoli was too embarrassed to repeat her foolish actions and lowered her head in shame, "I know I was wrong. I don't deserve your forgiveness, but we were together for eight months. Don't you miss me at all?"

Lu Xin suddenly felt that Yang Xiaoli's words sounded familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before. Oh, he remembered. At the Sanjiang Group's annual meeting, outside the hall, Lu Xin had tried hard to win back Yang Xiaoli's love, saying some very desperate things: "I know I don't have money, but after graduation, I never sent a single cent home. All my salary went to buying you clothes and jewelry. Everything you have is from me. I've put so much into this relationship. Don't you feel anything, don't you miss me at all?"

At that time, Yang Xiaoli's innocent face had shown a look of disdain, "It's because of your efforts that I felt compelled to be with you, but deep down, I don't love you. The more you do for me, the more pressure I feel. You are a good man, and I am a bad woman. We are not from the same world. That's it. After the breakup, we will never see each other again!"

Thinking back to that scene two months ago, Lu Xin looked at Yang Xiaoli coldly, "I am a good man, and you are a bad woman. We are not from the same world..."

Yang Xiaoli quickly smiled, "When I faced my long-time crush, Jiang Xueqing, I felt inferior and said a lot of foolish things. Don't take it to heart!"

Lu Xin smiled faintly, "What do you want now?"

"Just like before, continue being my girlfriend. After I graduate, we'll get married!" This was the first time Yang Xiaoli had envisioned her future with Lu Xin.

Lu Xin had envisioned his future with Yang Xiaoli countless times in the past, but now he had no interest in their future. Yang Xiaoli actually said she wanted to marry him. She was dreaming!

Lu Xin said calmly, "I think I lack understanding of you. Let's start as ordinary friends first!"

"Start as ordinary friends?" Yang Xiaoli's eyes widened, "Are you breaking up with me?"

Lu Xin shook his head, "Not breaking up, but redefining our relationship!"

"Redefining the relationship?" Yang Xiaoli asked in a trembling voice, "What kind of relationship?"

"I am not interested in your feelings, your thoughts, or your ideas at all," Lu Xin said coldly, "I only have a little lingering affection for your body. What kind of relationship is this?"

"That kind of relationship!" Yang Xiaoli was filled with shame and anger, glaring at Lu Xin, "You are insulting me!"

Lu Xin looked at Yang Xiaoli coldly, "A person who humiliates themselves will be humiliated by others!"

Yang Xiaoli understood what Lu Xin meant. She had brought this upon herself. All the passivity she was facing now was due to her previous foolishness.

Lu Xin pointed to the door, "If you accept this relationship now, there is still hope for my forgiveness and for our relationship to return to the past. Of course, you can also leave now, as you said, never to see each other again!"

He had already guessed her thoughts from her expression, so he could propose this relationship, which would be considered humiliating to most girls with self-respect.

Yang Xiaoli lowered her head and said softly, "Okay, but you should know, it's not that I, Yang Xiaoli, have no sense of shame, but I can't bear to leave you!"

Lu Xin smiled faintly. Everyone could say such things.

He took out 200 yuan from his pocket and threw it to Yang Xiaoli, "I have to go to a leader's house for dinner. You go have dinner with Zhou Ya first. You were both very tired just now, so have a good meal!"
