However, the surveillance cameras cover the entire corridor, so it's impossible to see facial features clearly.
But apart from her voice, the woman bore no resemblance to the person he remembered.
Just then, a voice came from the video: "Su Mu, you better behave yourself, or believe me, I'll beat you to death right here!"
At that moment, Li Anran felt as if she had been electrocuted.
It's her! It really is her! It's Su Mu!
The person who once captivated him at first sight.
During the brief moment when Li Anran was lost in thought, the group chat was flooded with messages.
[I never would have guessed that old Liao was such a hypocrite! He pretends to be virtuous on the surface, but he's actually a prostitute.]
[Exactly, they used to look down on people, but it turns out they're such filthy creatures.]
Considering Chen Xiaoyu, it's not surprising that he would do something like this.
If this woman were really thrown into Lin Shijia's room, she'd be in big trouble.
[Tsk tsk tsk, am I the only one who thinks the person who could kick this woman has really weird tastes? That bear-like physique, that disheveled hair, she looks like a female bear come to life. I certainly couldn't bring myself to kick her.]
"Don't you even know who that is! Lin Shijia, he's notorious for his eccentricities. He probably wouldn't even be interested in a beautiful woman everyone wants to sleep with."
[Yes, yes, I heard he's been really fond of breastfeeding mothers lately. I wonder if it's because he lacked maternal love growing up, hence his terrible taste.]
Just as everyone was discussing it, the person who posted the video dropped another harsh remark...
[There's even bigger juicy gossip out there, wanna hear it?]
These words were like water thrown into a hot oil pan; the group chat exploded instantly, with countless mentions and tagging.
A silencing emoji appeared on the screen, and the group chat immediately fell silent.
According to reliable sources, this woman is none other than Old Liao's wife.
[What?] His expression was one of shock.
No way! He... I've never heard of someone planting grass on their own head before.
【Awesome!】 Thumbs up emoji.
[He's truly no ordinary man; he actually sent his wife to another man's bed.] His expression was one of adoration.
[...]
Just as expressions of surprise and astonishment filled the screen, the person who leaked the information added, "Oh, and guess who this woman is?" with a mysterious expression.
The messages that were just scrolling by suddenly went completely silent, as if everyone had gone offline.
While everyone was waiting, someone posted: "I heard the name Su Mu in the video just now, could it be...?"
Hey! You actually guessed right! The woman in Old Liao's arms really is our school beauty senior—Su Mu!
After a moment of silence, the screen was flooded with messages.
[Oh my god! Is that really Senior Sister Su? I mean, her voice sounds so familiar.]
[How could she... once such a beautiful and charming school beauty, have become like this?]
"I don't believe it! Apart from her voice and name, that woman has absolutely no resemblance to Su Mu. You know, that fleeting glimpse under the locust tree back then still haunts my dreams."
If it weren't for that one glance back then, I wouldn't be single now!
Wait a minute! Does this mean... our beloved Ming Lan married Old Man Liao? She... just can't understand it!
[...]
Just as everyone was discussing and lamenting, the person who leaked the information dropped another bombshell: "You don't know, Su Mu was Old Man Liao's mistress for seven years. And when they registered their marriage, Su Mu was already heavily pregnant."
[Stop talking! I can't take it anymore if you keep going.] (Emoji of vomiting)
[Su Mu didn't even glance at us back then, and she actually became that old geezer's mistress? You must have heard this from others, right?]
[I only heard it secondhand! Then tell me, besides that reason, why was Su Mu in the video?]
"If you ask me, it's definitely just someone with the same name. With Su Mu's connections, what couldn't he find?"
【How could that be? Do you think just anyone can enter a wealthy family? For a legitimate wealthy family to marry a daughter-in-law, it must be either a family alliance, someone who can control the family's fate, or someone with excellent genes who can improve the family's offspring.】
Aside from her looks, Su Mu has no background and no intelligence. What does she have to use to break into a wealthy family? Don't you see, the young masters in the circle are surrounded by beautiful faces and stunning figures?
Where they live, looks are the least valuable thing! Because these things can all be put on a price tag! Don't believe me? Look at Tai'an, every woman clinging to him is prettier than Su Mu.
I bet someone like Su Mu wouldn't even get a second glance from Tai'an.
Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that Su Mu and Old Man Liao would get together.
[That's right! Besides, back then, old Liao was Jiang University's most promising professor and the most likely candidate to become the next president. It's just a pity! He played such a great hand terribly.]
Just as everyone was getting into the conversation, someone suddenly asked, "Where's Li Anran? We haven't seen him speak at all."
Then someone started tagging Li Anran, but received no response.
The screen stopped again.
After a long while, someone said, "I suddenly have something urgent to attend to, I have to go now, we'll talk again later."
After that, everyone made excuses one after another and stopped talking about it.
Because they all knew how intensely Li Anran pursued Su Mu back then.
He sent flowers to Su Mu every day, showed concern for her well-being every day, bought her favorite breakfast and delivered it to her dormitory every day, and sat in the library every day, just so he could be in the same room with Su Mu.
He even arranged candles into a heart shape downstairs at Su Mu's dormitory building, then knelt down on one knee and confessed his love in public.
It's safe to say that everyone knows how devoted Li Anran was to pursuing Su Mu, to the point of near madness.
However, at that time, Su Mu repeatedly rejected Li Anran in public, yet she also enjoyed the conveniences that Li Anran brought her.
His brothers had all tried to persuade Li Anran, but Li Anran firmly believed that as long as he persisted, he would definitely be able to move Su Mu.
He often said: "If you leave it for too long, even an ice cube will melt."
And then what happened?
Li Anran confessed her feelings to Su Mu time and time again, only to be rejected each time. On the day of her graduation, she almost risked her life for him.
They later learned from Li Anran that the teacher who advised him said, "A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a wise minister chooses a good lord to serve. How could a girl like Su Mu marry a penniless young man?"
The teacher also told Li Anran, "When pursuing a girl, especially an outstanding one like Su Mu, you must show her the security of the future. Otherwise, will she follow you through wind and rain sweeping the streets, or starve to death?"
A woman's beauty and attractiveness require money to maintain. If you can't even provide her with a comfortable and secure life, why would she choose you?
