At Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Gu Yan has stepped down from the position of Student Union President and is preparing for his graduation thesis and internship.

As usual, he rode his bicycle to the girls' dormitory building to pick up his girlfriend Ruan Jiao.

Ruan Jiao was already standing downstairs waiting. When she saw Gu Yan coming, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she trotted over and sat in the back.

When they arrived at the bottom of the teaching building, Ruan Jiao jumped out of the car and said to Gu Yan with a smile: "I have to go home at noon today, so I won't have lunch with you."

Gu Yan nodded and chuckled, "Okay, if you come back in the evening, call me and we'll have dinner together."

"Okay, I'll come back to have dinner with you in the evening." Ruan Jiao looked at her boyfriend, who had beautiful eyebrows and eyes and was handsome and elegant, and her heart couldn't help but start beating again.

She is a grade younger than Gu Yan. When she first heard that he was the school hunk, she thought he was indeed very handsome the first time she saw him, but she didn't feel any attraction to him.

Their first encounter was when one day she ran into a few hooligans outside school and happened to meet Gu Yan who was passing by on a bicycle, and he rescued her.

At that time, her clothes were being pulled by several hooligans and she was filled with despair. His appearance made her see the light again. He was her male god.

At first, she just wanted to repay Gu Yan and kept getting closer to him, but his attitude was rather distant and cold.

Later, as they got to know each other, she found that he was not only handsome, but also had a very good character and extraordinary abilities. He was not a boring academic genius, and she couldn't help but be attracted to him little by little.

Then she took the initiative to pursue Gu Yan, delivering breakfast to him rain or shine, inviting him to dinner, etc. After more than two years of hard work, she finally pursued her man of the hour not long ago.

She looked at Gu Yan riding away on his bike, her eyes full of love.

"Jiaojiao, did Gu Yan send you to class again?" A bright and imposing young woman walked over.

Ruan Jiao saw her and nodded with a smile, "Yes, cousin, are you busy returning to school today?"

Her cousin is in the same class as Gu Yan. She has now started working at her family's company and has not returned to school for more than a month.

Ruan Han withdrew her gaze from Gu Yan's disappearing back. She once liked this man and had shown her affection to him when she was in the student union, but he did not respond.

She has never lacked outstanding men pursuing her. Since Gu Yan did not respond, she could not take the initiative to pursue him because she had her own pride.

In addition, she felt that there was a big gap in status between her and Gu Yan. Even if Gu Yan was indeed capable, her family would never allow her to marry a man from an ordinary family. So she suppressed her feelings and gave up.

She didn't expect that her cousin would plunge into it headfirst and pursue Gu Yan for more than two years regardless of the weather. She even did a lot of things that she found shameful. She was obviously the daughter of the Ruan family, so why would she lower herself to pursue a man like that?

What surprised her even more was that Gu Yan had actually agreed to her cousin’s pursuit two months ago and they became lovers.

She felt a little sad, but she also believed some of the gossip she heard.

"I'm back today to pack my things. Are you going home at noon? Let's go together," she said.

Ruan Jiao nodded, "Okay."

She had an okay relationship with this strong woman cousin, but they didn't interact very often. After all, she was a rather lazy person. The only thing she had done with the utmost effort and persistence was to pursue Gu Yan.

After class at noon, Ruan Jiao walked to the school gate and saw her cousin's sports car, so she got in.

My cousin never concealed her family background at school. She acted quite flamboyantly. After entering the school, she drove a sports car to class and her dressing style was in line with her identity as a lady from a wealthy family.

She would not compromise on food, clothing and other expenses, but she did not like to show off, so at first no one knew that she had a background.

When she was in her sophomore year, her cousin asked her to join the student union. She was not interested in it due to her lazy personality, but she agreed because she wanted to spend more time with Gu Yan.

She didn't expect that her cousin would make their relationship public in the student union, and she became a wealthy lady known to many people in school.

Ruan Jiao was stunned for a moment, "No, he plans to do an internship after his graduation defense."

Gu Yan said that he wanted to stay with her for a while longer at school, but she didn't say it out loud, fearing that her cousin would think she was showing off on purpose. However, there was a hint of sweetness in her eyes.

Ruan Han frowned, "Did he say he wanted to intern at Ruan Corporation?"

"I didn't say that. What's wrong?" The smile on Ruan Jiao's face faded a little.

Ruan Han didn't want to beat around the bush. "I've heard a lot of people say recently that Gu Yan agreed to be with you because he was attracted by your background."

"If he marries you, he can save himself many years of hard work. He wants to work for Ruan's company, so he hasn't found an internship yet. He spends every day with you just to make you take the initiative to pave the way for him."

She didn't want to expose this fact and hurt her cousin, but she also didn't want her cousin to get deeper and deeper into trouble.

Ruan Corporation was founded by their grandfather and ranked among the top 100 enterprises in the country. Although she was older than Ruan Jiao, her father was the third oldest in the family and was a playboy who only liked to eat, drink and have fun, and he even had an illegitimate child outside.

Ruan Jiao's father is the eldest son and is designated as the heir to the Ruan family. Ruan Jiao's elder brother joined the company after graduation and established himself there.

Their third branch had shares, and she didn't want to grab the position of heir, but she was unwilling to be ordinary, so she took the initiative to ask to work in the company.

She is her mother's only daughter, and she cannot let her father's illegitimate son take advantage of her. She wants to achieve something and let her family know that even though she is a girl, she is not bad.

Therefore, even though she had fallen in love with Gu Yan, she gave up. She was so realistic that she wanted to marry someone of equal status and who could help her.

Originally, her cousin was with Gu Yan. Although she felt a little sour and envious, she didn't want to ruin it.

But recently, she heard from several friends that Gu Yan agreed to be with her cousin because of Ruan, and that he wanted to use her cousin as a phoenix man. She felt that she had completely misjudged him.

Unexpectedly, the other party was also dyed black by the big dye vat when he graduated. The handsome man who was once calm and elegant disappeared in her heart, and was replaced by a scheming man who would do anything for his future.

Gu Yan was so disappointing, so she had to remind her cousin not to be fooled, and the Ruan family didn't need this kind of Phoenix man.

And my family would definitely not agree with my cousin and Gu Yan being together.

When Ruan Jiao heard this, she was surprised at first, then looked at Ruan Han unhappily, "Cousin, I believe in the character of the person I like, and Gu Yan is definitely not that kind of person. You don't need to worry about what's going on between him and me."

She hates it when people say bad things about her boyfriend, even if it's her cousin.

"Jiaojiao, you were raised to be too naive. You should be on guard against what you should do. His heroic act of saving the beauty before might have been a show, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence." Ruan Han advised disapprovingly.

Ruan Jiao's face darkened. "Cousin, I believe in my own judgment of people. I hope you won't slander my boyfriend anymore, or we won't have any contact in the future."

"You!" Ruan Han choked. He didn't expect Ruan Jiao to say such a thing for Gu Yan. "You are really bewitched."

"If you still want to say these inexplicable words to sow discord between me and Gu Yan, then please pull over and I'll take a taxi back by myself." Ruan Jiao was really angry.

Ruan Han took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to get angry. "Okay, I won't say anything. Just don't regret it in the future."

Ruan Jiao replied firmly: "I will never regret it."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look out the window. Ruan Han knew that they could not continue communicating, and the two of them remained silent all the way.
