Chapter 17

Perhaps she shouldn’t be here. She should be under the car instead.

Zhen Ge had never imagined that something like this would happen!

Regret—she was filled with regret!

If she had known it would turn out like this, she would never have let Song Jianting in from the beginning!

But now, it was too late to regret.

At this moment, Su Ziyu was still looking at her with a shocked and disbelieving expression, which made Zhen Ge say irritably, “What are you staring at me for?”

They had already broken up! She and Su Ziyu had nothing to do with each other anymore! His look made it seem as though she had betrayed him.

“Do you want to come in?” Zhen Ge, seeing Su Ziyu’s stare, said in a defeated tone.

As soon as her words fell, Su Ziyu walked in.

His expression wasn’t good, and he walked straight toward Song Jianting and Feng Li, then took a seat.

Zhen Ge: “…”

Now all three of them were sitting together, and it looked so strange.

Zhen Ge felt that maybe she should leave.

“Zhen Ge, don’t you have any water?” Su Ziyu suddenly asked.

At this moment, Zhen Ge was already annoyed, and hearing Su Ziyu’s question, she snapped, “Don’t you have hands? You can see where the water is, can’t you?”

“Oh, I see.” Su Ziyu stood up and walked toward the fridge.

Zhen Ge wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but it seemed like Su Ziyu had given those two men a “special” smile just now.

Watching Su Ziyu’s back, Zhen Ge tried to reassure herself that maybe she was just overthinking.

“Hm? The brand I used to drink isn’t here?” Su Ziyu turned and looked at her, acting as though it was perfectly normal.

Zhen Ge: “…” She had figured it out now. Su Ziyu was doing this on purpose.

Wow, really wow.

They had broken up, and yet he was still playing these childish games!

“The last bottle is in Er Bao’s water bowl. If you want it, you can get it from there.” Zhen Ge said, utterly speechless.

She was tired, really tired.

She could already sense what Su Ziyu was thinking. She thought maybe he still had a little bit of hope because they had just broken up… but what were Song Jianting and Feng Li doing here today?

“What… are you all here for?” Zhen Ge hesitated but asked anyway.

No one spoke; they all just silently watched her.

Zhen Ge: “…”

Zhen Ge felt that if she could, she really wanted to grab all three of them and throw them out.

“What exactly are you here for?” Zhen Ge suddenly felt that she couldn’t stay patient any longer. She spoke impatiently, “If you’re done with your water, can you leave? It’s getting late, and I need to rest.”

“I’m here to get my things.” Su Ziyu was the first to speak.

Zhen Ge frowned. She remembered that last time, Su Ziyu had said he was coming to get his things, but… he hadn’t taken anything when he left.

Zhen Ge also remembered that he had said he didn’t want her to return the gifts he had given her.

That was…

Oh, Zhen Ge suddenly realized. Su Ziyu must have come to get his clothes and other belongings that he had left here. She remembered he had quite a few valuable things here.

“…Your things?” Zhen Ge looked around the room and said, “Auntie left, so things haven’t been cleaned up yet. If you want to take them, you can clean them up yourself.”

“Aren’t you going to help me?” Su Ziyu looked at Zhen Ge seriously.

Zhen Ge: “…?” She had never seen anyone so shameless!

They were broken up!

“I think you should clean them yourself!” Zhen Ge refused the suggestion and suddenly said, “I remember I left some things at your place too. Why don’t you help me clean them up and return them to me?”

Su Ziyu suddenly smiled, as though he had gotten away with something bad.

“Fine, if you want them, you can come find me anytime… I’d be happy to help you.” Su Ziyu said seriously.

Zhen Ge suddenly felt like she had been tricked.

She took a deep breath, not daring to look at the other two men, nor at Su Ziyu.

She just hoped Su Ziyu would stay in his place, quietly pack up his things, and then leave her house.

That would make her feel a little safer.

But obviously, Su Ziyu didn’t think that way.

Less than a minute after entering the room, he started shouting, “Zhen Ge, can you come in and help me? Where did we put the necklace we bought together last time?”

“What about the watch? I remember the watch you bought me is also here. I can’t find it now.”

“Oh, and I remember we bought a ring for our anniversary. Where is it?”

Su Ziyu was shouting from inside the room.

Zhen Ge really wanted to shut his mouth, but it was impossible now.

She could feel the stares of the other two men silently watching her.

What should she do now?

“Zhen Ge… I really can’t find it… Can you come in and help me?” At this moment, Su Ziyu suddenly spoke again.

Fine.

Zhen Ge now felt that Su Ziyu might still be of some use. After all, in a situation like this, facing him alone in the room was much better than facing these two men outside.

With that thought, Zhen Ge felt a bit lighter.

She stood up, forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and said to Song Jianting and Feng Li, “He might really not be able to find it. I’ll go in and help him for a moment.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly left as if trying to escape.

At that moment, Feng Li suddenly spoke up: “Wait a minute!”

Zhen Ge, who was just about to step into the bedroom, froze and turned back, looking at Feng Li in confusion. “Do you need something? If you want water, it’s in the fridge. If you’re hungry, go ahead and check the fridge. But I don’t think you’ll find much because Auntie left a few days ago, and no one has been buying groceries. All that’s left are cat food, dog food, and alpaca nutrition meals. If you want to eat, you’ll have to make do.”

Zhen Ge finished speaking all at once.

She said this to make it clear to Feng Li that now was not the time to ask her for anything. If they wanted something, they should get it themselves!

Or just leave her house.

But for some reason, Feng Li stood up from the couch, walked over to Zhen Ge, and, with a serious expression, said, “I remember I left quite a few things here too. Can you return them to me?”

Zhen Ge: “…???” How many years ago was that?! Seriously, buddy!

Zhen Ge looked at Feng Li in disbelief.

She never imagined she would hear something like this from him. It made her feel a bit panicked.

And what made her even more uneasy was… those things…

“What’s wrong? Don’t have them anymore?” Feng Li asked, looking at the conflicted expression on Zhen Ge’s face.

Seeing how Feng Li asked, Zhen Ge had no choice but to answer honestly, “There should still be a few things left. I’ll go look for them.”

At that moment, Su Ziyu walked out of the room. He had already heard Zhen Ge talking to Feng Li. After hearing her words, he questioned her in disbelief, “What? You’re still keeping his things?!”

Wait a minute?! What’s going on here?!

Zhen Ge felt like her head was about to explode.

She shouldn’t be here right now.

Her breathing sped up, likely out of nervousness.

“Zhen Ge? You…” Su Ziyu seemed very angry. “What you just said… is it true? You’re still hiding his stuff?!”

This was really absurd!

Zhen Ge looked at Su Ziyu and said, “What do you mean hiding? I’m just keeping them properly! I couldn’t just throw away valuable things, could I? What if he comes looking for them?”

And now, didn’t Feng Li just come looking for his things?!

Fortunately, Zhen Ge had the foresight to keep them.

“Who’s ‘he’…” Feng Li muttered as he repeated Zhen Ge’s words, then laughed lightly.

Zhen Ge immediately felt her scalp tingle.

Oh… she really shouldn’t have. She had almost forgotten that she had broken up with Su Ziyu. It was Su Ziyu’s assertive questioning that made her feel like she was still arguing with him over some items from her ex while they were still dating.

But she didn’t mean to!

She took every relationship seriously! Once she started a new one, she would let go of the old one.

“About this…” Zhen Ge couldn’t help scratching her head. “I can probably only find some valuable things. The rest…”

Before Zhen Ge could finish her sentence, Song Jianting, who had no idea when he had moved to her side, softly asked, “I remember I left quite a few things here too.”

Zhen Ge: “…”

What the hell!

Zhen Ge really felt like she wanted to die on the spot.

How could she be so unlucky to end up in such a situation?

“I think there are still some valuable items… maybe…” Zhen Ge said, not very confidently.

At the same time, she looked at Feng Li… this stuff from Song Jianting couldn’t be blamed on Su Ziyu; Feng Li was the one who had dealt with it.

Zhen Ge was feeling dizzy from all the events happening around her right now.

“I donated them to the Hope Children’s Fund,” Feng Li seemed to understand Zhen Ge’s look and suddenly said. He then turned to Song Jianting with a serious expression, “If Mr. Song needs them now, you can make a list, and I’ll gladly compensate you.”

Zhen Ge: “…” She really felt like something wasn’t right about all of this!

“Heh!” At this point, Su Ziyu sneered and added to Feng Li’s words, “Speaking of which, some of Feng Li’s items were also donated to children in the mountains. If you need them, Mr. Song, you can make a list for me, and I’ll offer you a discount to compensate.”

Feng Li: “…”

Song Jianting: “…”

Su Ziyu: “…”

It was all a mess—completely chaotic!

Zhen Ge had no idea why this was happening! She remembered that this scenario wasn’t in the original story.

She was about to return to the real world as a happy, wealthy woman, and she didn’t want any problems right now.

“Zhen Ge, what were you thinking?” Suddenly, Su Ziyu asked her.

Zhen Ge: “…???” What does this have to do with her?

Are they here to collect debts?
