Su He and the others all thought she was hopeless, stubborn and wouldn't turn back until she hit a wall, so they could only wait for her to see things for herself.

Not long after, Wu Shengnan returned to her dormitory crying, looking completely listless.

After asking around, Su He and the others learned that the guy had recently started dating someone new, but not from their school; she was from Tsinghua University next door.

Now Wu Shengnan has completely lost her chance.

The other roommates looked at each other, unsure how to comfort them.

Su He was speechless. So what was so great about that scumbag that so many people were interested in him? And they were all from Peking University or Tsinghua University?

Are all high-achieving students these days so bad at judging quality, or are there just so many people who are obsessed with romance?

She didn't quite understand this question, or perhaps she didn't understand the aesthetics of this era. Was Zhao Quan's simple appearance really that attractive?

Anyway, Wu Shengnan is completely heartbroken this time.

This heartbreak actually made her see things clearly, and she decided to get her money back.

Seeing this, Su He and the others were finally relieved; it seemed this was a good thing.

I just don't know if that man is willing to pay it back.

They could actually guess the outcome. Since he was willing to disregard his pride and let his girlfriend pay for meals, he must be unwilling to pay back the money.

As expected, Wu Shengnan did not get it back.

And she was bewitched again.

When she came back, she told them that Zhao Quan's family was really struggling financially, with a family member hospitalized, and that they genuinely couldn't afford to pay back the money. She felt sorry for him and didn't want to pressure him, since Zhao Quan had already promised to pay it back eventually.

The other roommates looked at each other in bewilderment once again.

Who actually believes this nonsense?

But Wu Shengnan believed it, and she didn't know what else that person said to her that gave her hope. Now she is completely immersed in an ambiguous state.

Zhou Hongying sensed something was wrong and asked her, but she wouldn't say anything.

He could only watch helplessly as she returned to a life of hardship. Within days, her once chubby face became even thinner, with her skin clinging tightly to her bones, a frightening sight.

Su He couldn't help but advise her, saying that if she continued like this, she might develop health problems from hunger. Moreover, according to Yu Tiezhuang, because she wasn't eating well, she didn't have much energy in class and couldn't concentrate on her lessons, falling behind in many courses.

No matter how much we tried to persuade her, she remained obstinate.

Seeing this, Su He sighed. This guy really won't turn back until he hits a brick wall!

Finally, Zhou Hongying couldn't stand it anymore and secretly came to find Su He, wanting her to help investigate her ex-boyfriend.

"Investigate him?"

“Yes!” Zhou Hongying nodded. “I feel like something’s not right about him. Wu Shengnan always says that her boyfriend’s family is not well-off, and that someone is hospitalized and needs money. But I’ve seen him a few times, and he doesn’t seem to be like that. He always has meat at his meals and he’s dressed well. He doesn’t seem to be in any trouble.”

I have a feeling that Wu Shengnan was deceived.

"Su He, you used to be a police officer, I wonder if you could help me find out if he's a conman. If he isn't, that's fine, but if he is, we can't let him keep scamming people like this."

Su He was somewhat surprised to hear this, clearly not expecting that she would be willing to do so much for Wu Shengnan.

After all, their relationship was only so-so before.

Zhou Hongying was smart and the oldest in their dormitory. Seeing her expression, she guessed what she was thinking and said, "Wu Shengnan is not a bad person. Although she sometimes speaks harshly, she is not cunning and can be seen through at a glance."

I couldn't bear to see her like this. Thinking of her reminded me of my daughter. If she were ever scammed like this in the future, I'd be furious.

Su He laughed when she heard that.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I should ask about this, since I've already left the company and I don't know if I can find out."

Zhou Hongying was relieved. "Okay, you can ask first. It's better if you can get the answer, but if you can't, that's fate, and we won't worry about it."

"good."
