Chapter 5: Frustration

Lin Shanshan knew that Jiang Jibai's personality change was not entirely due to Gu Moyang.

However, Gu Moyang's proposal to break up was the beginning of Jiang Jibai's misfortune.

The person I loved deeply broke up with me and left the country without saying goodbye. My mother died tragically in a car accident, and my father started a new family.

This series of misfortunes dragged Jiang Jibai, who was originally living in heaven, into hell.

Jiang Jibai went from being a little princess who grew up in a happy family and immersed in honey to an abandoned and unwanted little trash overnight.

All her loved ones left her overnight, and Jiang Jibai felt like she was abandoned by the whole world.

This huge contrast and sense of gap was enough to destroy the previous Jiang Jibai.

Jiang Jibai blamed everything on himself, thinking it must be because she was not good enough and it was her fault that led to the current situation.

The car arrived downstairs of the residential complex where Jiang Jibai lived.

Lin Shanshan saw Jiang Jibai unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car. Seeing that she was in a bad state, she asked worriedly, "Do you really not need me to accompany you?"

Jiang Jibai smiled a smile uglier than crying and shook his head: "No, drive carefully on the way back and send me a message when you get there."

Lin Shanshan was still worried and reminded him, "Be sure to call me if anything happens."

Jiang Jibai finally smiled and said obediently, "Okay."

Lin Shanshan is the best person to her in the world.

Lin Shanshan reminded him again: "If there is anything, you must tell me."

Jiang Jibai knew what she meant, and his eyes began to redden again: "Don't worry, Shanshan, something like that won't happen again. It's not worth it for him."

Back home.

Jiang Jibai cried for a long time.

She cries uncontrollably when she is alone. This is her way of venting her emotions.

Many times, she releases her emotions in this way, crying until she can't cry anymore, and the unhappiness in her heart will be reduced by more than half.

After venting, she circled today's date on the calendar.

This circle means letting bygones be bygones.

She and Gu Moyang have been strangers since then.

The phone rang many times in succession, and many messages from the Four Beauties of Beijing and Huaihai popped up.

【Tianjiulu】: How was your performance today? I wanted to go with you guys, but I just couldn't make it. @bling bling@白又白

[bling bling]: That dog doesn't deserve to have a name in my opinion. He has been removed from our baby's heart. He is a scumbag.

【bling bling】：Knife-beaten cucumber jpg

【Bai You Bai】: Yes.

【Sweet Wine】：Crying emoji pack/Hug emoji pack

[Beautiful Girl Doushi Lion]: I just saw the news. Damn, it will delay me from going to kill the scumbag for our precious baby.

【Beautiful Girl Teasing the Lion】: Hug emoticon pack

[Beautiful Girl Teasing the Lion]: If I had known that the four of us would go together, I would have thought of the headline for tomorrow. It would be called "The Four Beauties of Beijing and Huaihai Make a Scene at the Alumni Association and Bravely Fight Against the Scumbag!"

[Sweet Wine]: This is good. I really want to bring disgrace to that scumbag.

【bling bling】：My sister is still you, you think the same as me. Roll up your sleevesJPG

[Beautiful Girl Teasing the Lion]: What should I do, sisters? What you said makes my blood boil, and I want to do him right away.

[Bai You Bai]: Covering face/emoticon, calm down, let the past be the past, I want to let him and myself go.

【Tianjiulu】: If you have anything to worry about, don't keep it to yourself. We are here for you. Hug/emoticon package

[Beautiful Girl Teasing the Lion]: If Baozi ever wants to take revenge, he must call me.

[bling bling]: Our four beauties from Beijing and Huaihai are always here.

【白又白】：Yeah, love you guys, refills/emoticons

Seeing these news, Jiang Jibai was moved and amused.

While taking a shower, Jiang Jibai discovered that the white pearl bracelet on his hand was missing.

Her heart was empty for a moment. She had been wearing that bracelet for so long, seven years straight. She only took it off when she took a shower.

The more you wear jewelry, the brighter it becomes. Each bead on the bracelet is so white and translucent, full of luster, that they almost become one with her.

Now that it’s lost, I can’t help but feel lost.

That pearl bracelet was given by Gu Moyang.

That day was the first birthday he spent with her since they were together.

She thought Gu Moyang didn't know that today was her birthday and didn't prepare a gift for her.

Jiang Jibai didn't care at that time. It was enough for him to be with her.

Under the dim street light in front of the girls' dormitory, Jiang Jibai said goodbye to him reluctantly.

As soon as I turned around, I heard Gu Moyang say, "Something fell."

Before Jiang Jibai could react, Gu Moyang grabbed her hand and kissed it, taking over her breath and depriving her of oxygen.

The chirping of cicadas accompanied the roar in each other's chests.

Amid the chirping of cicadas in the midsummer of their freshman year, that was Gu Moyang and her first kiss.

While kissing, Gu Moyang took out a string of translucent white pearl bracelets from his pocket and put them on her.

The cool feeling of the pearls passed across her skin, which was magnified infinitely on the midsummer night.

She would never forget that touch in her life.

Gu Moyang let her go. His eyes were bright under the street light, and the small mole under his right eye looked very lustful on his cold white skin.

"My little sun." He held her hand and smiled at her gently, saying, "Happy birthday to you."

At that moment, there was only her in those deep, dark eyes.

Jiang Jibai was sure that she was getting deeper and deeper into trouble at that time.

And now, the bracelet has disappeared. She thought this was God's will, foreshadowing the end of her and Gu Moyang.

"The alumni reunion went well, right?" Ji An said to the man who pushed the door and walked into the office.

Gu Moyang glanced at him and sat down in the boss chair, flipping through some documents on the desk.

"It's okay." He simply said two words and answered perfunctorily.

Ji An was unwilling to accept it: "Is it really just okay?"

He heard from several classmates that Jiang Jibai met him at the alumni reunion.

Gu Moyang paused as he turned the page, his eyes filled with a kind of pressure as he looked away. "What? You don't want the alumni reunion to go well? You just can't stand seeing our alma mater and me doing well, right?"

Ji An cried out, "I didn't say that."

Ji An could see that Gu Moyang was in a bad mood. When he was in a bad mood, he liked to argue with people.

When I’m in a good mood…

He seemed to have never seen him in a good mood.

Wu Qian came in with some documents for Gu Moyang to sign.

The business focus of Heguang Group has just shifted from abroad to China. Like building a tall building from flat ground, there are many things to deal with just after returning to China, and all matters, big and small, need Gu Moyang's personal review.

Gu Moyang founded the Heguang Group. Ji An, who had previously gone abroad with him to start a business, was his college roommate and returned to China with him. He is now the second-in-command of the group.

"Mr. Ji is here too." Wu Qian nodded to him politely.

"What's the matter with these dots?" Gu Moyang pointed his slender fingers at the document.

Wu Qian was stunned for a moment, then he explained, "We only drafted this contract after you confirmed it."

Gu Moyang tossed his pen, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed his forehead. "Do you think our company is begging? Let's renegotiate the price."

"Okay, Mr. Gu."

Wu Qian wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. How could this change so suddenly?

Wu Qian found that since his boss returned to China, his thoughts were even harder to guess than his wife's.

Ji An gave Assistant Wu a helpless look.

According to his understanding, the dog must have been humiliated by someone, it must be so.
