Chapter 230: Utterly Heartbroken (Part 1)

Shen Lingyao couldn’t help but worry about the vast amount of money that was yet to be received.

Such a large sum would surely make others green with envy, right?

With university starting in a few days, if her classmates found out about Brother Qingfeng’s wealth, wouldn’t it bring a lot of unnecessary trouble?

Her father always said that money is the root of all troubles.

She didn’t want Brother Qingfeng to attract envy, jealousy, and hatred because of his wealth.

“Okay.”

Zhao Qingfeng agreed to Shen Lingyao’s request to keep a low profile, “Once we’re in university, let’s still act as if we’re from an average family, keep a low profile, and avoid trouble.”

Shen Lingyao patted her chest, feeling her heart racing.

Besides worrying about attracting trouble, she had another concern.

What if other bad women found out about Brother Qingfeng’s wealth and tried to seduce him?

There were too many bad women.

Like Chun Tao’er, for example.

Just a few days ago, Brother Qingfeng was complaining that Chun Tao’er wasn’t working properly at Liu Li’s place and even got together with the driver. Liu Li kept her only because of Zhao Qingfeng’s face.

Besides that.

What she cared about the most was Liu Ruoxin.

Thinking of the QQ nickname Whispering Thinker, she urged Zhao Qingfeng again, “You’ve been on the computer these days, I also want to go online to see if there are any messages for me!”

Just in time.

Zhao Qingfeng was going out to run errands.

A transaction of hundreds of thousands definitely required face-to-face verification.

But he couldn’t show up in person; Little Kun would arrive shortly.

Just right to take him first to negotiate with the two local guilds in the capital, then send him on a business trip around the country to collect money from other guilds. Once unnoticed, the cash would be deposited into the bank account.

Zhao Qingfeng went out to meet Little Kun.

Shen Lingyao turned on the phone, checked the caps lock, and after making sure everything was correct, entered the password.

Login successful!

Ding ding ding.

Several messages came through immediately.

In the past few days, Shen Lingyao had been on edge, her woman’s intuition making her anxious.

Pressing the shortcut key, the message window popped up instantly.

Although Whispering Thinker’s avatar was gray, there were thirty messages, each over 100 words long, like mini essays, making Shen Lingyao’s brows furrow more and more as she read, her heart growing colder!

These nearly three thousand words narrated the entire story of Zhao Qingfeng from his first day at City No.1 Middle School to the last day he confessed and was rejected, leading to his attempted suicide.

It detailed how he pursued Liu Ruoxin, how he became a sycophant, how he bought breakfast and dinner for her, and accompanied her for injections, among other things!

In meticulous detail.

Liu Ruoxin’s ability to express herself in writing was impressive, even capturing Zhao Qingfeng’s feelings at the time.

Including his blushing and heartbeat, speaking only of Zhao Qingfeng’s love for her, each word like a sharp knife piercing directly through Shen Lingyao’s heart.

“He loved me so much, he chased me for a long time!”

“If I hadn’t rejected him, how could you possibly have had this chance?”

“He doesn’t love you; you’re just a substitute for me.”

“His choosing to be with you was just to anger me. He always has me in his heart. Don’t think that because you were childhood sweethearts, I am his first love, and my status will always be higher than yours!”

“Shen Lingyao, you’re really pitiful!”

“Zhao Qingfeng treated you as a plaything!”

“It’s only because you agreed to him.”

“If you had rejected him, he would definitely have come back to me!”

“Even if he didn’t find me, he would look for another woman. Because all the words he said were lies, everything was an act. Just like the heartwarming words he said when he confessed to me, his love for you is also fake, so I said you are pitiful!”

Am I really pitiful?

Shen Lingyao looked at the small characters on the screen, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Now she.

Seemed to finally understand why Brother Qingfeng never talked about his time at City No.1 Middle School.
