After Longlong left, only Su Man and Jiang Yuan were left in the living room.
Suman picked up a piece of watermelon with a fork and ate it slowly and methodically.
The crisp "click" sound made Jiang Yuan's anger grow even stronger.
He couldn't help but say, "You called Longlong here without saying hello. Are you deliberately trying to embarrass our family?"
Su Man swallowed the fruit pulp and shook her fork. "Compared to breaking off the engagement in front of all the guests at the birthday party, I think I've given you a lot of face."
Jiang Yuan learned his lesson this time and stopped arguing with her. Instead, he confidently analyzed, "So you brought Longlong here to deliberately piss me off, right? You still have me in your heart, right?"
Su Man smiled, "Jiang Yuan, you are just like me when I convinced myself that you loved me, but you were just cold-hearted."
Jiang Yuan choked up, and he paused and said, "Can't we start over?"
"restart?"
Su Man put the fork back on the plate and wiped her hands slowly and methodically. "I won't start over with my old friend."
After saying that, she threw the used tissue into the trash can and stood up swiftly.
Jiang Yuan was anxious. He stopped Su Man and said, "Xiao Man, we've been together for so many years, don't you really have any regrets at all?!"
"Think about it first. Over the years, how many things have you done that made me miss you?"
Although Su Man's voice was calm, it was obviously a wake-up call to Jiang Yuan.
Over the years, he has been enjoying Xue Man's efforts, but has never done anything for her.
Su Man no longer cared about the conflict in his heart. She just wanted to find Longlong and leave.
Being ignored, Jiang Yuan said angrily, "You clearly loved me so much before, why have you become so cold now? Is it because of Longlong?"
The more he spoke, the more he felt that his guess was correct. Otherwise, how could he fall out of love so easily after so many years of relationship?
"No wonder you started living together right after we broke up. When did you get together?"
Su Man rolled her eyes and felt that Jiang Yuan was really hopeless.
If it weren't for his favorability, she would have wanted to hit him with a stick.
Su Man took a deep breath and adjusted herself. Then she looked towards Jiang Yuan. There was sadness and emotion in her eyes, but most of all, relief.
Being stared at like this by Su Man, Jiang Yuan was distracted for a moment. Such a focused look made him feel that she still loved him.
He couldn't help but take a step forward, bringing the distance between them closer. He stared into Suman's eyes, "You still love me, right?"
Even though Jiang Yuan was full of hope, he still didn't hear the answer he wanted to hear.
Su Man said word by word, "Jiang Yuan, I don't love you anymore."
Jiang Yuan's expression changed instantly. He immediately denied it, "Impossible. We have been together for so many years. It is impossible for you to suddenly stop loving me."
Su Man shook her head helplessly, "Jiang Yuan, it's not that I suddenly stop loving you."
Jiang Yuan looked confused.
Su Man explained, "At first, I loved you out of ten points. When you ignored me, I subtracted one point. When you didn't care about my feelings, I subtracted one point. When you got angry at me casually, I subtracted one point. When I was in trouble, you had an unclear relationship with my sister, I subtracted one point. When your mother broke off my engagement, your indifference subtracted one point..."
Su Man paused, "I'll keep reducing it bit by bit until one day, I look back and realize that every day I was with you, I lived for you. I'm tired and sober. From now on, I just want to live for myself, for Xue Man."
“…”
After saying that, Su Man did not stop and turned around gracefully.
Jiang Yuan stared blankly at Su Man's back. It felt like there was a hole in his heart, and the cold wind blew in, making him feel cold all over.
It turned out that he had already started to lose Xueman as early as those times.
It turned out that behind every page of those things he had thought were forgotten were Xue Man's tears.
This time, he really understood what she said, but he also lost her completely.
[Jiang Yuan's favorability increases by 20, and his luck value decreases by 20. The current luck value is 15]
-
From that day on, Jiang Yuan never looked for Su Man again.
Jiang's father and mother looked for Su Man several times, but Su Man never showed up.
Seeing this kind of face-changing drama once is enough. She doesn't want to face Jiang's mother's hypocritical face every day.
A few days later, the Xue family stopped the Jiang family's catering services and, in accordance with the contract, terminated 80% of the catering services.
This action caused the Jiang family to suffer heavy losses and be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Jiang's father couldn't sit still any longer, and he went to the company every day to block Xue Chongshan's way and plead for mercy. Xue Chongshan avoided him and was fed up with it.
That day, Xue Chongshan had just come out of his house when a man suddenly appeared from the side of the road.
"Brother, please be merciful and let us go because of our friendship over the years." Jiang's father played the emotional card.
Xue Chongshan was harassed for several days and his patience ran out.
He said angrily, "If it weren't for our friendship, I would have recovered the money I paid earlier. Over the years, you've been selling dog meat under false pretenses. If I were to investigate carefully, I'm afraid all the money in your pocket would have to be used to pay the fine."
"Brother, please listen to my explanation..." Jiang's father stopped Xue Chongshan from leaving.
Xue Chongshan stood still and said, "If you continue to pester me, I will have no choice but to take legal action."
This time, Jiang's father didn't dare to block the way anymore and could only watch Xue Chongshan leave.
After Xue Chongshan left, Jiang's father spat at his back, "What kind of thing? Which restaurant can break even? Without me, I want to see how your hotel's restaurant can be managed!"
