“Xiao Zhou…Lu Yuzhou?” Zhu Jinzhao recalled this person from the fake heiress’s memories.
Lu Yuzhou, the boyfriend of the fake heiress for three years, is an ordinary, selfish, and hypocritical man. Before his fake heiress identity was exposed, Lu Yuzhou regarded her as the love of his life, treating her like a precious gem, showering her with affection and winning her over completely.
The fake heiress once naively believed that she and Lu Yuzhou could go from campus to marriage, but she never expected that this pretense of happiness would be shattered on the very first day Zhu Mingyue returned home.
A week before Zhu Mingyue returned to the Zhu family, news that the fake heiress was an imposter spread throughout the capital. From that day on, Lu Yuzhou inexplicably began to give the fake heiress the silent treatment.
The fake heiress couldn't contact him every day. She would send dozens of messages and only get two replies, which were cold and perfunctory.
The fake heiress wasn't stupid; she guessed why, but still clung to hope. Until a month later, at the very spot where Lu Yuzhou was confessing his love, she received a breakup message via WeChat.
Seeing Lu Yuzhou and Zhu Mingyue surrounded by the crowd, the fake heiress finally came to her senses, realizing that the person she had loved for three years was so despicable.
"The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful; they are such a perfect match!"
"Zhu Jinzhao finally got dumped. How could a fake like her be worthy of such an outstanding senior like Lu?"
"That's right, Senior Lu and Zhu Mingyue are a match made in heaven. Zhu Jinzhao isn't even worthy of carrying their shoes."
"This is the kind of couple college students should be shipping! I have a feeling that Senior Lu will propose to Zhu Mingyue as soon as he graduates..."
A mix of disdain and blessings reached the fake heiress's ears. She opened the breakup WeChat message, replied with "okay," and then deleted Lu Yuzhou from her contacts.
Zhu Jinzhao sorted out the plot and realized that now was the time for Lu Yuzhou to use passive-aggressive tactics against the fake heiress.
She scrolled up the chat history and, unsurprisingly, saw many unanswered messages.
--oh.
She rolled her eyes at her phone and gave a perfunctory one-word reply.
Two seconds later, Lu Yuzhou sent another message.
—What's wrong? Are you unhappy?
Zhu Jinzhao: No.
Lu Yuzhou: ...That's fine then.
Zhu Jinzhao quit WeChat and didn't reply.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Jingwen asked, noticing her pale face. "Did Lu Yuzhou send you a message?"
Zhu Jinzhao: "Mm."
"Oh, he finally decided to text you first." Jiang Jingwen's tone suddenly became a little strange. "He ignored you for a week, did he have any explanation for that?"
Zhu Jinzhao shook his head and honestly said, "He didn't give any explanation. He just sent me a message to tell me that he had something to do today and couldn't have lunch with me."
“…That bastard!” Jiang Jingwen couldn’t help but curse. “He’s been giving you the silent treatment for a week, and he hasn’t even bothered to give you an explanation. He’s got something to do, something to do, something to do. He’s the emperor, he has to be busy every day.”
"Zhu Jinzhao, don't believe his nonsense. Call him right now and ask him what the hell he means. Does he want to be in a relationship or not? Give him a straight answer!"
Zhu Jinzhao didn't move, but answered her question for Lu Yuzhou: "I think he probably doesn't want to talk about it anymore."
Jiang Jingwen: "Why keep you hanging on if you don't want to talk? Just kick him to the curb."
"Dump him?" Zhu Jinzhao thought about the suggestion seriously and found it very feasible. "Okay, then I'll dump him. Anyway, he doesn't like me."
"...Huh?" Jiang Jingwen was stunned by her sudden decision. She had only said it jokingly, so why did Zhu Jinzhao seem so serious about it?
Zhu Jinzhao wasn't joking with her. As soon as she finished speaking, she took out her phone, decisively opened WeChat, and entered her chat with Lu Yuzhou.
"Let's break up," she typed in the chat box and was about to send it without thinking.
"Wait a minute—" Jiang Jingwen reached out and covered the phone screen, staring at her with a look of horror, "Are you serious? You really want to break up with Lu Yuzhou?"
Zhu Jinzhao blinked: "Really? He's been giving me the silent treatment, why don't I break up with him?"
"You...you dated him for three years!" Jiang Jingwen snatched her phone. "You think you can just break up after three years like that?"
Zhu Jinzhao said nonchalantly, "I'm still young, I can have many more three-year periods. If we break up, so be it, it's not a big deal."
"you……"
Zhu Jinzhao's sudden nonchalance caught Jiang Jingwen off guard. Jiang Jingwen stared blankly at her, her eyes filled with confusion: "Why are you suddenly so open-minded? Is it because I said he was deliberately ignoring you, and you're angry?"
"Actually, I was just saying that in anger. I don't know if he's deliberately giving you the silent treatment or if something is really wrong. If you can't stand it, find some time to meet him and have a proper talk. Don't let my emotions get the better of you. It's been three years, how can you just break up like that?"
"I wasn't acting impulsively." Zhu Jinzhao took her phone back, her calmness frightening Jiang Jingwen. "I'm sure Lu Yuzhou is deliberately giving me the silent treatment. There's no need for me to waste any more time with him. Let's break up. The sooner the better..."
"No, I can't divide it so easily."
"Huh?" Jiang Jingwen couldn't understand her at all.
"Hmm..." Zhu Jinzhao squinted and thought for a moment, and a terrible idea popped into his not-so-flexible brain.
"Hehe..." She chuckled slyly, deleted the words "Let's break up" from the chat box, and replaced them with a particularly disgusting sentence.
"Don't worry, brother, I won't be angry. I know you have a lot on your plate, so I won't be unreasonable. Go ahead and do your work, brother; I'll wait for you patiently."
"Brother, are you tired? Let me order you a cup of coffee."
"...What are you doing?" Jiang Jingwen was almost speechless with shock. "Weren't you breaking up? Why are you doing something so disgusting?"
"Heh..." Zhu Jinzhao chuckled crookedly, "Of course I want to break up, but as the one at fault, why should Lu Yuzhou suffer no loss at all?"
Jiang Jingwen: "...So?"
Zhu Jinzhao: "That's why I want to praise him to death."
"Ah..." Jiang Jingwen seemed to understand but not quite, but she didn't say anything, only blindly supporting, "Okay!"
Zhu Jinzhao held her phone, replying to Yuzhou's questions as she walked towards the restaurant.
—Does my brother not like this nickname? Should I change it to something else?
—Brother, is that coffee enough? Would you like a little sweet cake too?
—I will always be my brother's most loyal follower…
Zhu Jinzhao, despite feeling nauseous, managed to ignite the passion in Lu Yuzhou, who was usually cold and aloof.
"I don't have classes this afternoon, want to go see a movie?"
After finishing the meal, Jiang Jingwen asked.
Zhu Jinzhao: "No, I'm going to find a part-time job outside."
