Heartthrob, Your Image is Crumbling!

Chapter 404: I Am Not Someone Who Takes a Loss

Perhaps he was annoyed by the situation with Liu Shuo, or perhaps he was genuinely unhappy seeing Jiang Xinyi standing with You Changjin. Regardless, Zhou Yuwen did not hide anything this time and simply took Jiang Xinyi's hand right in front of everyone.Jiang Xinyi's face instantly turned red, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She had not expected Zhou Yuwen to be so bold.

Actually, just moments ago, You Changjin had taken the initiative to chat with Jiang Xinyi, asking her how her life had been recently.

The only reason Jiang Xinyi had come over to sit with You Changjin was that she felt jealous seeing Zhou Yuwen on such good terms with Zheng Yanyan.

Even though she was sitting next to You Changjin, she still could not help but pay attention to what was happening on Zhou Yuwen's side.

And facing You Changjin's questions.

Jiang Xinyi did not waste words. She wanted to use You Changjin to make Zhou Yuwen angry, but she was not the kind of little lass who lacked a sense of proportion.

She told You Changjin directly, "I am in a bad mood. I am just going to sit here for a while, so do not talk to me."

That single sentence immediately choked back all the words You Changjin had prepared. He stammered for a long time, but ultimately could only let out a quiet, "Oh."

Then, seeing Jiang Xinyi constantly looking in Zhou Yuwen's direction and acting absent-minded, You Changjin knew that something must have happened between her and Zhou Yuwen.

He also thought about the words he had just spoken with Zhou Yuwen.

You Changjin's heart began to beat like a rattle-drum. 'Did Zhou Yuwen tell Jiang Xinyi everything?' he wondered.

'Did Zhou Yuwen ask Jiang Xinyi to come over because he wanted to help me?'

Thinking this, You Changjin felt somewhat moved for a moment.

Thus, he could not help but smile and say, "Xinyi, did Yuwen say something to you just now?"

"?" Jiang Xinyi paused, not quite understanding for a moment, and asked, "Said what?"

A boy like You Changjin could not hide secrets in his heart. Besides, he did not want to hide this secret. He had to start from the time Liu Jing stopped him and made him get into her car.

He said that on that day, Liu Jing told him to get in the car and declared that he was not worthy of her.

"She also said that Zhou Yuwen is worthy of you, and she asked me to matchmake you and Zhou Yuwen."

Jiang Xinyi was stunned. She had indeed never heard her mother mention this matter.

You Changjin understood Jiang Xinyi's current expression. She must be shocked. You Changjin himself was also shocked, truly unable to comprehend what Xinyi's mother was thinking.

You are six years older than Zhou Yuwen.

And you are my ex-girlfriend.

Yet your mother wants you to be Zhou Yuwen's girlfriend.

"I do not understand either, but I figured that since it is your mother's wish, I might as well ask Zhou Yuwen for you. So, just now I..."

"What did he say?" Jiang Xinyi understood You Changjin's implication and quickly asked.

You Changjin said, "He said that we are very suitable together..."

Jiang Xinyi felt disappointed hearing these words.

And it was obvious from You Changjin's expression that he was interested in her.

Liu Jing wanted to matchmake Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi, but now it was clear that Zhou Yuwen had no interest in Jiang Xinyi, and it seemed impossible for Jiang Xinyi to fall in love with Zhou Yuwen, who was so many years younger than her.

'Doesn't that mean I still have a chance?'

"Xinyi, actually, after we broke up..."

"You Changjin, let me tell you something," Jiang Xinyi interrupted before he could finish.

"Hmm? What is it?" You Changjin was curious. What could Jiang Xinyi want to tell him?

'Could it be that before I even get the chance to speak, Jiang Xinyi wants to get back together?'

Thinking of this, You Changjin felt a little bit of expectation.

Unfortunately, he was overthinking things in the end.

Jiang Xinyi said very seriously, "My mom was right. I do like Zhou Yuwen."

"?" You Changjin froze, clearly failing to process what she just said.

It was right at this moment that the commotion of Liu Shuo and Li Qiang fighting erupted from the other side.

Their communication was temporarily cut off.

Later on, Zhou Yuwen even took Jiang Xinyi's hand right in front of everyone's eyes.

Honestly speaking, this scene was quite shocking.

After all, wasn't Jiang Xinyi...

The teacher's wife?

This was the inner thought of most of the students.

"President Zhou, President Zhou!"

As Zhou Yuwen was leaving while holding Jiang Xinyi's hand.

Lu Hui, who was inside the classroom, suddenly snapped back to reality. She rushed over to grab Zhou Yuwen, her face filled with deep remorse as she pleaded, "President Zhou, I know I was wrong. Please help me talk to Liu Shuo! I am begging you on my knees!"

Lu Hui's groveling was truly pathetic. Previously, Su Qing had also knelt once, but that time it felt somewhat baffling. However, for Lu Hui, after Liu Shuo left, her mind had gone completely blank before a stark realization hit her: Liu Shuo really did not want her anymore, meaning her job and everything else were gone.

No matter what, she was still a finance employee at Zhou Yuwen's company and knew its development inside out. By April, Xianlin Delivery was already blossoming everywhere in Southern Jiangsu, and there was no telling how much money it would make.

To just leave like this, Lu Hui was truly unwilling to accept it.

Therefore, she dropped to her knees exactly as she said, without even a shred of hesitation.

"President Zhou, I beg you to tell Liu Shuo that as long as he forgives me, I am willing to do anything for him."

Zhou Yuwen did not even spare Lu Hui a glance and replied, "This is between the two of you. It has nothing to do with me."

Saying that, he pulled Jiang Xinyi along and got into his x7.

"President Zhou!"

Lu Hui still wanted to block the car.

"Sister Hui..."

At this time, Li Qiang, afraid that Lu Hui would get hit by the car, pulled her to the side.

No matter how Lu Hui tugged and struggled, she simply could not break free from Li Qiang.

This made Lu Hui incredibly frustrated, crying and screaming for Li Qiang to let her go.

Yet Li Qiang spoke with deep affection, "Sister Hui, leave him! He does not love you at all; he is only hurting you. Sister Hui, be with me! Believe me, I will give you happiness!"

The reason Li Qiang did not dwell on what had just happened was that, at that moment, his heart was entirely focused on Lu Hui.

No matter what, Liu Shuo and Lu Hui no longer had any relationship.

That meant he could now pursue Sister Hui.

Li Qiang had always felt in his heart that Lu Hui had feelings for him.

Those more than a hundred days and nights, although they had not met face-to-face, it was indeed a genuine form of companionship.

Furthermore, Lu Hui was the first woman who treated Li Qiang well, someone who would accompany him shopping and knew how to save money for him.

Li Qiang often felt that his previous liking for Lu Lin had not been true love.

Only Lu Hui was his true love.

Even though he had lied to Lu Hui.

But Lu Hui had also lied to him.

In that regard, the two of them could be considered even.

If that was the case, why could they not be together? "Sister Hui, be with me!"

"Get lost!"

Looking at Li Qiang's face full of 'deep affection' standing right in front of her, Lu Hui went mad with anger. Be together?

What do you even have to be together with me?

You person from the countryside! You do not have a single cent, and you still want to be together?

Why did you lie to me!?

Why did you deceive me!?

You ruined everything I had!

At this moment, Lu Hui was truly suffering a breakdown. Glaring at Li Qiang, she suddenly erupted into a frenzy, violently hammering her fists against his chest and even giving him two slaps across the face.

Yet Li Qiang just stood there, letting Lu Hui beat him.

After Lu Hui had hit him enough, Li Qiang embraced her tightly.

At this moment, the entire venue fell into a tacit silence.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuwen had already escorted Jiang Xinyi back to her home.

Along the way, the two chatted very little.

The first to speak was Zhou Yuwen. He asked, "What were you chatting about with Teacher You? Looking so happy?"

Jiang Xinyi quite liked Zhou Yuwen's slightly jealous tone.

Feeling somewhat joyful inside, she replied, "Nothing much. We just chatted about whatever came to mind."

"Oh."

They only exchanged that one sentence, and after that, Zhou Yuwen said nothing more.

Seeing that Zhou Yuwen was not speaking anymore, Jiang Xinyi's mood actually became somewhat disappointed.

Taking the initiative to find a topic, she said, "I could never tell before that you were so fierce, even hitting a woman!"

Zhou Yuwen asked, "Does she not deserve to be hit?"

Hearing these words, Jiang Xinyi gave a slight pout. She and Lu Hui had been colleagues for a while, and regarding whether Lu Hui deserved to be hit or not, it was truly unobjectionable.

Lu Hui was indeed quite annoying.

"But still, the fact that you hit a woman..."

Zhou Yuwen declared, "Hitting her was letting her off lightly. That is because she is not my woman. If she were my woman, I would have stripped off her clothes and thrown her out onto the street."

"Ugh!" Jiang Xinyi did not know why, but she felt a sudden chill run through her body and could not help but hug herself tightly.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuwen pulled the car over to the side of the road.

Looking at Jiang Xinyi, he asked, "What are you nervous about? You are not my woman, right?"

"Right! I am not your woman, so why should I be nervous!? Wait, that is not right!"

Jiang Xinyi suddenly realized a point: "I have not done anything with any men, so why should I be nervous?"

"Mm, exactly. So what were you chatting about with You Changjin just now?" Zhou Yuwen asked.

Jiang Xinyi gave a pout, "Then what were you chatting about with Zheng Yanyan and the others?"

Jiang Xinyi was a little princess, after all, and she just loved to be stubborn with Zhou Yuwen. Zhou Yuwen originally wanted to be a bit forceful, but after giving it some thought, he decided to let it go.

Thus, he restarted the car.

Jiang Xinyi had fully intended to confront Zhou Yuwen and then thoroughly resolve their mutual 'ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend' status.

Yet unexpectedly, Zhou Yuwen stopped talking.

This made Jiang Xinyi very frustrated.

Fortunately, after restarting the car, Zhou Yuwen said, "Jiang Xinyi, I am actually quite a domineering boy."

"I cannot stand seeing my woman getting too close to other boys. I know this might go against what you call freedom and being unconstrained, but this is just the kind of person I am."

"When you sat with You Changjin today, honestly speaking, I was quite unhappy."

"But now, I am relieved."

Jiang Xinyi could not understand the meaning behind Zhou Yuwen's words.

That was until Zhou Yuwen stated, "I suddenly realized that we do not have any sort of relationship."

"?" As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xinyi immediately became somewhat upset.

Zhou Yuwen continued, "Which man you talk to, and which man you date, are your own choices. It has nothing to do with me, right?"

"Let's leave it at that. You are home." Zhou Yuwen's car came to a stop right in front of Jiang Xinyi's house.

And after hearing the few sentences Zhou Yuwen had just spoken, Jiang Xinyi's face clearly filled with displeasure.

"That is right! What I do has nothing to do with you, and what you do has nothing to do with me either! So that means you can just flirt playfully with those girls named Su Qing and Zheng Yanyan?" Jiang Xinyi demanded.

Zhou Yuwen replied, "Mm, correct. I am just a man with a double standard. I can flirt playfully with any woman, but I simply will not allow my girlfriend to chat and laugh with other men."

"Heh! I did not expect you to be so feudal!" Jiang Xinyi sneered coldly.

Zhou Yuwen stated that he was just that feudal.

"If you do not like me, then forget it!"

"Who likes you!" Jiang Xinyi whined coquettishly.

"I... I would never like someone like you."

Saying that, Jiang Xinyi opened the car door, intending to leave.

Zhou Yuwen just watched as the girl walked away, puffing with anger.

Zhou Yuwen actually felt a bit terrible in his heart, but after thinking about it, he figured it was best to just let it be.

Although he liked the lass, he really could not tame her. Was he truly supposed to give up the entire forest just for this single tree?

Besides, Jiang Xinyi's mindset was just wrong.

Just because he chatted and laughed with Zheng Yanyan and the others, she could go and find other men?

She had been completely spoiled.

If this issue was not resolved, similar situations would absolutely continue to arise in the future.

Therefore, it had to be eradicated from the very root.

Over on the other side, Jiang Xinyi was marching toward her house aggressively, getting angrier the more she thought about it.

On what grounds!

Only the magistrate is allowed to set fires, while the commoners are forbidden from even lighting lamps?

This overbearing stinky man!

He forcibly kissed me yesterday! And today he refuses to acknowledge it?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyi became even more infuriated.

That was her first kiss!

Just snatched away by him like that?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

Just as Zhou Yuwen lowered his head in the car, taking out his phone, wanting to call Liu Shuo to ask about the situation.

Jiang Xinyi knocked on the car window from the outside.

Zhou Yuwen rolled down the window and asked, "What... hmm?"

Before Zhou Yuwen could finish speaking, Jiang Xinyi threw her arms around his head and planted a forceful kiss squarely on his lips!

In this world, there was absolutely nothing that could make Jiang Xinyi take a loss.

If she took a loss, she definitely had to make up for it!

'Dog man, taking advantage of me, huh?'
