Chapter 017 Lin Shutong's Heart is Wrenched

"Actually, I'm just an ordinary person. All I want is a simple love, but things just don't go as I wish." Chen Yuan said this sincerely.

He really was just an ordinary person with no remarkable identity.

In Zhao Yuqi's eyes, Chen Yuan was being overly modest.

Just as she had guessed before.

Chen Yuan had been hiding his identity because he wanted a pure love, not wanting to link relationships with material things. But the reality was that a nobody didn't deserve love.

Fairy tales were just that - fairy tales.

If you didn't have money, you couldn't give a girl romance, couldn't give her a sense of security, and couldn't provide the bourgeois lifestyle she desired.

Why would she choose you?

If you pretended to be a nobody to test things out,

you were destined to be strung along.

Doomed to be a backup lover.

To be a bootlicker.

To be a spare tire.

...

Let's talk about two different things.

After Chen Yuan left the lobster restaurant, Lin Shutong returned to the dormitory alone, looking completely lost.

She felt that she had really messed things up this time. Not only had she been severely deceived by Huang Junkai, that scumbag, but it also seemed that Chen Yuan had completely given up on her.

If it were before, she wouldn't have cared at all about Chen Yuan's opinion of her.

After all, he was just a bootlicker.

If he was gone, he was gone.

She could just cultivate another one.

Lin Shutong's "fishpond" didn't just have Chen Yuan and Huang Junkai.

There were other "fish" being kept.

When necessary, they could fill the vacancy at any time.

Although the conditions of these "fish" were just so - so,

it was better than nothing.

At least there was a "transition," right?

But this time, she seemed to have really fallen for Chen Yuan.

Especially as he became more and more generous,

more and more charming,

and even more manly when fighting.

She realized that she might not have really known Chen Yuan before.

With goddess - level figures like Zhao Yuqi and Xu Lele taking the initiative to get in touch with Chen Yuan one after another,

she increasingly felt that Chen Yuan was actually a man with "depth."

"Shutong, you're finally back. I discovered a huge secret. I wanted to tell you, but you were out on a date with Huang Junkai today, so I thought it wasn't very convenient. I'd better wait until you came back," Sun Rui said, winking with excitement.

"What secret?" Lin Shutong asked expressionlessly, clearly not interested.

She had suffered too much humiliation and blows today, and it wouldn't be easy to recover from them quickly.

"Shutong, do you know who the real identity of 'Lonely Cigarette' is?" Sun Rui asked.

"'Lonely Cigarette', the tycoon who was on the Weibo trending list? The one who tipped ten million to the female streamer?"

"Not ten million, but twenty million. Shutong, you know what? Last night, I was casually scrolling through Douyin, and guess what? The most popular streamer on the whole platform turned out to be Zhao Yuqi. I was shocked!

Then I found out that Zhao Yuqi not only topped the hourly ranking list but also received a whopping one hundred million virtual gifts in this live - stream. And this tycoon was 'Lonely Cigarette'!

However, that's not the point. The point is that after I followed his Douyin account, I found out that he and I are WeChat friends.

And this person is Chen Yuan!

My god, do you know how I felt at that moment? I was completely stunned. Chen Yuan, that nobody, is actually a tycoon who splurged twenty million online?

This guy has been hiding so deep!

I guess the story about his family's house being demolished is fake. His real identity should be a super rich second - generation or a business tycoon. Shutong, you're about to become rich. If you can marry into a wealthy family in the future, don't forget about your sisters!" Sun Rui kept chattering non - stop.

She was so excited that she couldn't contain herself.

Lin Shutong was struck as if by lightning.

She felt as if she had been hit with ten thousand critical hits in an instant!

"You... what did you say? Chen Yuan, he... he is 'Lonely Cigarette'?"

"It's true, Shutong. At first, I couldn't believe my eyes either. But the WeChat account bound to the Douyin platform can't be wrong. And Chen Yuan could casually transfer fifty thousand yuan to you. I think even if his family's house was demolished, his parents probably wouldn't give him that much money so easily, right? So there's only one possibility. Chen Yuan himself is a rich second - generation, a super tycoon. Shutong, why don't you dump Huang Junkai and get together with Chen Yuan?" Sun Rui suggested.

But the moment she said this, it was as if Lin Shutong's heart had been stabbed several times.

It was bleeding!

"Stop talking, Ruirui. Stop talking, please stop!"

"What's wrong, Shutong? Why are you crying?"

Lin Shutong's heart was torn apart at this moment.

She finally understood why Zhao Yuqi had gone out to eat with Chen Yuan alone.

This was twenty million yuan!

This twenty million yuan should have been hers originally, but why did that bitch Zhao Yuqi get it?

So the wealthy young master she had been pursuing,

she had already had him!

This young master was even richer and more extravagant than she had imagined, and he was also devoted to her. He was simply the perfect male god in her dreams.

But, she had pushed this male god away with her own hands.

At this moment, she恨不得 slap herself hard.

She had a treasure mountain but didn't realize it.

How stupid was she?

She was simply idiotic!

"No! Things shouldn't be like this!"

"Chen Yuan is mine. I haven't lost yet. I still have a chance to save this!"

"I shouldn't give up like this. I must win Chen Yuan back!"

After a series of blows, Lin Shutong decided to pull herself together.

As the saying goes, "It's hard for a man to pursue a woman, but easy for a woman to pursue a man."

Moreover, Chen Yuan had chased her for three whole years, and there was already an inseparable bond between them.

As long as she took the initiative instead of being passive, there was a great chance of salvaging this relationship.

...

"Fourth, why are you coming back so late again today? I haven't seen you playing games recently. Where have you been having fun?" Roommate Zhou Haiquan asked.

"Didn't I tell you guys before? I went out to eat with Zhao Yuqi. Then, since we had nothing to do, we went shopping. She even bought me a pair of Yeezy shoes," Chen Yuan said calmly, pointing at the new shoes on his feet.

"Fourth, there's a limit to bragging. Zhao Yuqi asked you out to eat and bought you shoes? You're getting more and more ridiculous!"

"Fine, if you don't believe me, I won't explain. Maybe she wants to chase me, who knows?"

"Damn, this guy really deserves a beating. Should we teach him a lesson?"

"Teach him a lesson!"

"Fourth, take my 'Eighteen Dragon - Subduing Palms'!"

"The Dragon Subduing Palm's 'Regret of Releasing the Dragon'!"

"The Monkey Steals the Peach!"

"The Kick of Sterilization!"
