Chapter 182: Recognize and Let Go
Shen Shihao, who was awakened, finally let go and looked at Yan Nuo unhappily: "She is my girlfriend. This is a private matter between us. As an outsider, please don't interfere, okay?"
Xu Ziyue glared: "She is not an outsider, you are the outsider."
Shen Shihao's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes looked at Xu Ziyue with displeasure. He really didn't expect that Yueyue would be so disrespectful to him in front of others.
"Shen Shihao, we have broken up and I will not get back together with you. Please don't come to my house or my store to harass me. I have let you go. You and I are not from the same world." Regardless of the fact that her best friend was here, Xu Ziyue just wanted to make her feelings clear to Shen Shihao.
When Yan Nuo heard these words, his mouth gradually opened wider, almost enough to fit a duck egg.
If Yan Nuo hadn't appeared, Shen Shihao would have continued to pester her, but Yan Nuo's eyes were too mocking, and Xu Ziyue was on her side. Shen Shihao wanted to save face, so he didn't say anything else. He just looked at Xu Ziyue deeply and said, "I won't let you go easily. Remember, when you go back to work in two days, you are still my employee."
After saying that, Shen Shihao strode to the side of the road, got in his sports car and left.
Yan Nuo held Xu Ziyue's hand: "Did Shen Shihao bully you? He cheated on you, right?"
Her best friend has had a crush on Shen Shihao for a long time. She cherishes this idol-like guy as her boyfriend in every way. She would not break up with him unless something goes against her principles. Yan Nuo knows this very well.
Xu Ziyue sighed and nodded in admission: "He did betray me. He had a childhood sweetheart who came back. That childhood sweetheart behaved very strangely. They checked into a hotel room and hugged and kissed each other. Shen Shihao said it wasn't betrayal. He just didn't want to see Jiang Yue fall, so he did this to Jiang Yue. He also kept saying that he liked me. I couldn't communicate with him, so breaking up was the best option."
Yan Nuo was stunned: "He must be sick! Can you kiss casually?"
Shen Shihao should be thankful that he drove fast. If he hadn't left by now, Yan Nuo would have beaten him up.
"I've never seen such a shameless person. He actually has the nerve to say he didn't betray you." Yan Nuo gritted his teeth in anger.
Seeing that she was only busy scolding Shen Shihao and didn't blame herself for being in love, Xu Ziyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Yan Xiaonuo would mutter about her.
However, she could only breathe a sigh of relief for a moment. Next, Yan Nuo continued to ask her questions. After scolding Shen Shihao, he asked her when she found out that Shen Shihao had cheated on her, and why she had been on vacation these days, and whether it was to avoid Shen Shihao's entanglement.
Having a smart bestie isn’t always good!
For example, now, I am being judged 360 degrees by this smart best friend.
Xu Ziyue had no choice but to tell him everything: "I was supposed to have dinner at your house that day, but I didn't go. I caught you cheating at the hotel. After that, I didn't go to work and stayed in the apartment. Shen Shihao squatted at the door of the apartment complex again and again. I couldn't stand it, so I ran back home and ran errands for my parents. I didn't expect Shen Shihao to find me here again today. Yan Xiaonuo, please don't tell my parents about my relationship. I don't want them to worry about me."
"I promise you." Yan Nuo sighed, tightly holding Xu Ziyue's hand, and began to reflect on himself: "I didn't even notice that you were different. You must have been very miserable being alone during this period."
Xu Ziyue was stunned for a moment, and she carefully considered Yan Nuo's words for a while, then smiled and shook her head: "It seems that it is not as painful as I imagined."
"Ah?" Yan Nuo was surprised and confused.
Xu Ziyue's smile curved even wider as she said, "I find it strange too. I've clearly liked him since college, but when I went to his company, I discovered he wasn't the man I imagined him to be. He's undisciplined, has no plans, and lives a life of mediocrity. He's ambitious but only knows how to make promises. He also has no sense of boundaries with the opposite sex and has a very strange outlook on life. He's completely different from the Shen Shihao I like."
Hearing her description, Yan Nuo was quite shocked: "He is good at disguising himself outside. If you didn't tell me, I would have thought he was a rich young man who worked hard to start a business. Even though his business is not big, at least he is not decadent."
"I used to think so, too, until I started working with him and realized it was all an illusion. The person I've always liked was the gentle, graceful, and polite senior I met on the university campus. Perhaps it's because the gap is so big that I don't feel so painful."
When is the most painful time for people? That is when they have something very good and then have to lose it.
From the beginning to the end, Shen Shihao never gave her anything positive. The happiness they had together in the early days was just a surge of hormones and an illusion created by the man.
Having suffered this loss in love, Xu Ziyue does not regret it. At least, it made her realize that a man has many sides. One should not judge a man by his appearance, nor should one beautify a man in one's mind with excessive emotions.
This is the price she paid for her love-brainedness. In the eyes of others, she is just a stupid fool.
But there are all kinds of people in this world, and everyone has a different personality. Some are strong, some are weak, some are smart, some are stupid, some only love themselves, and some are willing to give for love.
