Chapter 1

【New book is here, still the old rules, no superpowers, no reincarnation, no system. Although it's late, the place names are just coincidences and not actual cities.】

「Let's break up, I feel like we have nothing left to say to each other.」

The woman stirred the coffee in her cup with a spoon, her voice cold as if she were talking to a stranger.

Song Yu looked at his girlfriend sitting across from him. In just a few days, her clothes and accessories had completely changed. He knew what had happened without needing to ask. Song Yu frowned slightly, picked up his coffee, and took a small sip.

For this woman, Song Yu had risked everything.

Last year during the New Year, his future in-laws stormed into his home, their mouths wide open like the gaping maws of League of Legends' Abyssal Maw.

「Three hundred thousand yuan as a dowry, a car for commuting, and a house in your daughter's name after our family's house is demolished. If you agree, we can continue this relationship; otherwise, don't dream of a toad eating a swan. My daughter is going to marry a second-generation rich man.」

At the time, his parents didn't say a word, just smiled and sent them away. After they left, the old man told Song Yu that if he wanted to get married, the family could only give him ten thousand yuan. This was the money they had saved all their lives, and since he didn't go to college, it would be his tuition fee.

Song Yu sighed and told the old man to keep the money. He would find a way to meet Yu Silin's parents' demands.

In his heart, Song Yu had already grown to resent and dislike his parents' words, but Yu Silin had once had an abortion for him. No matter what, it was the man's fault. He remembered how her future mother-in-law had come to their home and caused a scene, eventually taking fifty thousand yuan and setting the engagement before she was satisfied.

Over the past year, Song Yu had indeed kept his word.

He now had 340,000 yuan in his bank account. Although he didn't have a car, he only needed one more year, and he would have both a house and a car.

During the day, he worked in the planning department of a company, and after work, he did some side jobs. The money from his job was used for Yu Silin's daily expenses, while the 300,000 yuan was his gray income. He had paid a price for this, but it was his means of survival in this city.

It was just that it was not something to be seen in the light of day.

But he never expected that Yu Silin would propose a breakup today.

When they first got together, Song Yu felt that this girl was very emotionally intelligent, charming him to the point of being completely infatuated. After they were together, Song Yu gradually understood.

This woman was greedy and lustful!

She liked Song Yu's good looks and was greedy for the house his parents owned in the urban village, which was supposed to be demolished.

Song Yu had calculated that the house could only be exchanged for two 100-square-meter relocation apartments.

It wasn't much money, was it?

But Song Yu thought about how Yu Silin had become pregnant shortly after they started dating, and an abortion was very harmful to a woman's body. He could accept anything the Yu family did, but now that she was proposing a breakup, Song Yu didn't feel much sadness, but he also didn't feel much relief. After all, they had been together for two years, and he had grown accustomed to it.

He took a deep breath and was about to speak when Yu Silin's phone rang. Her previously cold expression suddenly turned into a smile like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Am I being cheated on?

These four large words appeared in Song Yu's mind.

Yu Silin quickly swiped on her new phone and then looked at the entrance of the café, saying,

「Song Yu, why aren't you leaving? I said we're breaking up. No matter how much you cling to me, it won't work. My boyfriend is coming.」

Song Yu, who was about to leave, crossed his legs and said coolly,

「You're seamless, aren't you?」

As he spoke, a man appeared at the entrance of the café. He was about 1.85 meters tall, wearing a set of sportswear, and his appearance was indeed that of a handsome young man. Yu Silin called out to him as her husband, and Song Yu's face immediately turned dark.

It seemed that in this woman's mind, there was nothing but greed and lust, and there was certainly no consideration for the two years they had been together.

As the man walked closer, Song Yu looked at him with disdain, took out his wallet, and left two bills on the table, preparing to leave. But just as he was about to go, the man blocked his way.

The man was slightly taller than Song Yu and deliberately looked down at him, smiling,

「Why the rush? Since we've met, it's better to talk things out. Silin, go wait outside.」

Song Yu sized up the man, then rolled his eyes and said coldly,

「Do we have anything to talk about?」

The man didn't rush to speak. Only after Yu Silin left the café did he slowly sit down, cross his legs, and hold his knees, looking at the coffee on the table and saying softly,

「Don't be so agitated. I think we have something to talk about. Song Yu, after all, I still owe you some money.」

Song Yu glanced at him and said coldly,

「Do we know each other?」

「After all, you paid for the abortion of my child. I should give you the money for the abortion, right?」

Song Yu was taken aback, and then anger surged in his heart. No wonder Yu Silin had been so proactive when they first met, and soon after, she told him she was pregnant. At the time, he thought that if they had a child, they should get married, but Yu Silin was very firm in her decision to have an abortion!

He remembered how the doctor had scolded him at the hospital, but he hadn't seen the medical reports. After Yu Silin was discharged, she went home to recuperate.

Yu Silin knew that the child wasn't Song Yu's.

Yu Silin's mother also knew that the child wasn't Song Yu's.

They had all conspired to deceive Song Yu, and the second-generation rich man in the abyssal maw was probably this man in front of him.

Song Yu didn't let his anger cloud his judgment and instead sat down across from the man, picked up his coffee cup, and said with a smile,

「You're very generous, letting me sleep with your girlfriend for two years.」

This seemed to hit the man's funny bone. He laughed, picked up his coffee cup, and then, finding it too funny, put it down and laughed heartily,

「Song Yu, you're much calmer than I imagined, and you seem to have a strong sense of responsibility. You've been working hard for a woman who isn't even yours. As for the girlfriend you mentioned, Yu Silin doesn't even qualify as a mistress. She was with you just because my life was too boring.」

He picked up Yu Silin's coffee again and said with a smile,

「It's so easy to toy with a man. When Yu Silin was dating you, she posted photos of you two on social media and set your photos as her phone wallpaper. Talk about the present, talk about the future, and when the parents meet, it takes three to four years for the man to get out of it! But!」

The man suddenly looked up at Song Yu and said coldly,

「I don't see any regret in you. Do I have to tell you that when Yu Silin was talking to you on the phone, she was actually serving me? Or that I told Yu Silin to have her parents come to your home during the New Year to make you uncomfortable? Then watch your family worry about the money?」

Song Yu held his coffee cup and looked at the man, saying calmly,

「Are you done?」

「Aren't you angry?」

「Ha, seems to disappoint you.」

With a sneer, Song Yu poured the scalding coffee on the man's face and then coldly repeated his words,

「Aren't you angry?」

At the same time, in a corner of the café, a woman also poured a cup of coffee on the face of the man opposite her.

「Bastard.」
