Chapter 1222 Borrowing Your Merit (5)
Huang Ying's face suddenly turned cold when she heard this. She looked at Cui Hongyu with disdain and said, "I didn't expect that Senior Cui would be such a person. He obviously likes someone else, but he still confesses to my roommate? What on earth do you want to do? Are you two-timing or deliberately deceiving Shi Chu's feelings?"
The other students who were watching also heard what Li Shichu said, and they looked at Cui Hongyu strangely, with an expression of "I didn't expect that you, senior, are this kind of person."
Cui Hongyu was anxious and panicked when he saw this, fearing that his reputation would be ruined, and hurriedly explained: "No, Li Xuemei, you misunderstood, your sister and I are just... friends, we are innocent, I only like you..."
Li Shichu sneered, "If I didn't know that you two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, I would believe you. You kissed and hugged each other, and you still say you're innocent! Do you think you're so easy to deceive? Are you trying to help my illegitimate sister harm me? To cheat me of my feelings or my money?"
When Li Shichu said this, Cui Hongyu's face flushed. He was usually aloof and proud, so how could he stand such humiliation? So he didn't care about trying to please Li Shichu, so he angrily retorted: "I haven't fallen to the point of cheating you of your feelings and money! How can you humiliate me like this?"
"You approached me with ill intentions, aren't you asking for humiliation? Now that I've said what you were thinking, you feel guilty?" Li Shichu sneered, "I don't care what you are planning, but don't try to trick me. I don't want to be involved with anyone who has anything to do with my father's mistress and illegitimate daughter. I hope you can be a little self-aware and stay away from me when you see me, otherwise I will think you are plotting against me."
Li Shichu said this very seriously. Not only Huang Ying, but even the students who were watching around were stunned. They couldn't help but look at Cui Hongyu in shock, as if they met him for the first time. They began to doubt whether he really wanted to avenge Li Shichu's father's illegitimate daughter and deliberately approached Li Shichu.
"Is Senior Cui really such a scheming person? I never expected that."
"That's right. He has a good relationship with his illegitimate daughter, so why would he confess his love to his legitimate daughter? Doesn't he know that people of this status are hostile to each other?"
"So he really had bad intentions when he confessed his feelings to her."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance."
…
People around him were talking about it, and Cui Hongyu felt as if he was stripped naked and being watched and criticized in public. He wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into so that he wouldn't be so embarrassed and ashamed.
"Shichu, let's go and ignore this disgusting person!" Huang Ying angrily pulled Li Shichu's arm and left.
Cui Hongyu didn't know how he left there. This was the first time he confessed his feelings to someone and he ended up like this. Both his self-esteem and self-confidence suffered a huge blow. When he thought about what others would say about him after this day, he felt like he was suffocating and didn't know how to face it.
He is a person with both low self-esteem and high self-esteem. If he had always been the most beautiful girl on the planet, and been admired by others, he could still maintain his arrogance and self-esteem. Unfortunately, in order to deceive Li Shichu and obtain her merits and fortune, he had to lower himself to pursue Li Shichu. His image as the most beautiful girl on the planet was shattered. Afterwards, he was rejected and ridiculed by Li Shichu. Everyone's filter of him as a top student and a top school boy was shattered in an instant, and he fell from the altar to the mortal world. How could he not be at a loss as to what to do?
"Shi Chu, you must not be soft-hearted. You have been deceived by Cui Hongyu. Now that you have rejected him this time, I don't know if he will continue to pester you." Huang Ying said worriedly.
Li Shichu comforted him, "I don't think so. I rejected him in public and made him lose face. He has such a strong sense of self-esteem, he must hate me to death. How could he continue to pester me? But if he really endures this humiliation and pesters me, then he must want a lot from me and has no good intentions. I will stay away from him and will not be fooled."
"That's good. I was just afraid that you would fall for his appearance." Huang Ying said with a sigh of relief.
Cui Hongyu, the campus hunk who kept himself clean and had never been in a relationship, was rejected the first time he confessed his love to someone. It was also revealed in public that he had ulterior motives. This news immediately became a hot topic on the campus network.
Although Li Weirong was not studying at this university, the people she followed, Cui Hongyu and Li Shichu, were both there. Therefore, she used some tricks to get an account at this university, and naturally saw the hot news about the two of them on the forum.
After reading the whole story recorded in the post, Li Weirong felt sad and angry. She felt sad because she had never received Cui Hongyu's confession. She was the one who always pursued Cui Hongyu, but Li Shichu got him. She was angry because Li Shichu was so ignorant that he dared to reject Cui Hongyu. In her heart, Cui Hongyu was the best man, but Li Shichu looked down on him, which made her very angry.
"Hongyu...how are you now?" Li Weirong was worried about him, so she called him quickly and asked carefully.
Cui Hongyu's dejected voice came from the phone: "Weirong, I'm sorry, I failed. I didn't catch up with Li Shichu..."
Hearing his hoarse and depressed voice, Li Weirong's heart tightened immediately, and she felt extremely distressed. She hurriedly comforted him: "Hongyu, this is not your fault. It's all because Li Shichu didn't know what was good for her. It's her honor that you can pursue her, and she actually dared to refuse. She is indeed a proud and arrogant young lady..."
Cui Hongyu felt better after hearing Li Weirong's flattering words, but he didn't achieve his intended purpose. He finally remembered that the merit and luck he urgently needed was nowhere to be found, so he quickly said, "Li Shichu didn't fall into the trap, so our previous plan has failed. Weirong, do we have any other way to gain merit? We can't just rely on Li Shichu now, we have to think of other ways."
Li Weirong thought for a while and said, "The way to gain merit is to do things that benefit the people of the world. There are many ways to do this. The most convenient and easiest way now is to donate money." When she said this, she fell silent.
Cui Hongyu paused. His family was very ordinary, even poor, as his parents were farmers. They used to work outside, and only returned home to farm when they were older. When he was in college, he worked part-time to earn tuition and living expenses, and occasionally relied on Li Weirong for support. Therefore, donating money, the most convenient way, was the most difficult for him.
"Weirong, is there any other way? For example, doing good deeds?" Cui Hongyu asked with a wry smile.
"It is also a way, but there are not so many good things for you to do nowadays, and you may not have the time." Li Weirong said.
