Su Yueling had gotten one more thing wrong!
She thought Sun Zhiming was like all the other simps, and that he would coax her whenever she got a little angry, even humbling himself to please her.
But Sun Zhiming came from an immensely wealthy family. How could he possibly be a simp?
"What did I misunderstand?" Sun Zhiming asked with a cold laugh.
Su Yueling frowned. "I just wanted to get to know Classmate Sun."
"I don't want to get to know an idiot!" Sun Zhiming mocked her without holding back. He had had enough of an idiot like Su Yueling who thought she knew everything.
"I..." Su Yueling pretended to be aggrieved. "Classmate Sun, did I offend you somehow?"
"Or is it because..." Su Yueling hesitated, leaving the sentence unfinished.
It had to be said that although Su Yueling was not very clever, she was still somewhat skilled at playing the innocent victim.
At the very least, she knew how to change the subject, trying to redirect Sun Zhiming's mockery toward her former relationship with An Wuyang, thereby implying that Sun Zhiming was narrow-minded and disliked her because of An Wuyang.
Sun Zhiming saw through Su Yueling's affected words and responded bluntly, "Since you have no shame, then I can rest easy!"
"Do you think everyone else is an idiot and that no one knows what you're thinking?" Sun Zhiming mocked her directly.
"According to what you said, you want to get to know me. Does anyone not understand what that means?" Sun Zhiming deliberately asked, guiding his lackeys to join in.
Yang Kai took the bait. "Su Yueling, are you trying to suck up to Brother Sun again?"
The invisible Ma Long also joined in. "Su Yueling, we can all see it. You're just trying to hook up with Brother Sun!"
Ma Long knew perfectly well that he had no chance of getting close to Su Yueling, so there was a hint of resentment born from love.
Once the invisible Ma Long spoke up, several other nobodies started shouting as well, leaving Su Yueling unable to defend herself.
"Do you know why I called you an idiot?" Sun Zhiming asked with malicious amusement.
Su Yueling frowned at Sun Zhiming. She thought she had never offended him. Could it really be because she had once been An Wuyang's girlfriend, and Sun Zhiming hated her by association?
"Are you thinking that because you used to be An Wuyang's girlfriend, and because An Wuyang and I don't get along, I therefore dislike you as well?" Sun Zhiming laid the matter bare.
Although he often called An Wuyang his "good brother" in the class group chat, everyone in the class knew that he and An Wuyang had serious conflicts.
Su Yueling could not help blurting out, "Isn't that the reason?"
"You really are an idiot!" Sun Zhiming sneered.
"I'm guessing you broke up with An Wuyang because his family was about to go bankrupt, right?" Sun Zhiming asked mockingly.
Su Yueling fell silent. How could she admit to something like that?
Wouldn't admitting it be the same as admitting she was a gold digger?
"So what's wrong with me calling you an idiot?" Sun Zhiming mocked her again. "Do you know what kind of situation An Wuyang's family's Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group is in?"
"You don't!" Sun Zhiming answered his own question.
"You don't even know what other businesses An Wuyang's family has besides Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group." Sun Zhiming teased her.
"I casually said a few words in the class group chat about An Wuyang's family going bankrupt, and you believed me?" Sun Zhiming's words carried a hint of utterly destroying her.
"Did you ever see An Wuyang stand up and answer?" Sun Zhiming asked again.
Su Yueling froze. It seemed that An Wuyang really had never responded.
"Don't overthink it. An Wuyang's family is indeed in terrible shape, and I wasn't lying. But so what if An Wuyang's family goes bankrupt?" Sun Zhiming sneered.
"Even if An Wuyang's family is facing trouble, they're still sitting in luxury cars worth over a million, pondering problems worth tens or even hundreds of millions. Even if they can't solve those problems, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. You could work hard your entire life and still not match the wealth left after their family went bankrupt." Sun Zhiming showed no mercy.
"Our family is more or less on the same level as An Wuyang's. What makes you think that after dating and breaking up with An Wuyang, you can get to know me?" Sun Zhiming asked rhetorically.
"If I really got involved with you, do you know what people in our circle would say?" Sun Zhiming's disdain was obvious.
"Rumors would spread through our circle: I, Sun Zhiming, picked up An Wuyang's discarded woman!" Sun Zhiming ground his teeth.
Su Yueling's expression turned ugly. "Discarded woman" was hardly a flattering term!
So Su Yueling retorted, "Are your ideas too feudal? It's already 2021, yet you still have such outdated feudal thinking!"
"Hahahaha!" Sun Zhiming burst into loud laughter. "Have you watched too many Domineering CEO dramas?"
"What level are you even at?" Sun Zhiming mocked her.
"You think An Wuyang really liked you?" Sun Zhiming twisted the knife.
"Can you wake up?" Sun Zhiming continued mocking her.
"If An Wuyang had developed genuine feelings for you, then even if you announced a unilateral breakup in your Moments, he would have tried to keep you instead of simply letting you leave." Sun Zhiming pointed straight at the heart of the matter.
Just as Sun Zhiming had said, if An Wuyang had truly fallen for Su Yueling, then even knowing that she was a gold digger, and even if she had unilaterally announced their breakup in her Moments, An Wuyang would have found a way to win her back.
After all, true love was most likely blind.
Yet An Wuyang had shown no reaction at all, allowing Su Yueling to announce their breakup unilaterally in her Moments. That showed that An Wuyang's feelings for her were indeed not true love.
Sun Zhiming's sharp words, which struck straight at the heart of the matter, were like a blade. Su Yueling stood rooted to the spot, completely unable to refute him.
"To be honest, if you hadn't broken up with An Wuyang and wanted to get to know me, I might have abandoned my personal standards and enjoyed a shameless life for An Wuyang's sake." Sun Zhiming spoke with a hint of emotion.
The implication was that if he could put a green hat on An Wuyang, he would absolutely abandon his personal standards.
"It's just a pity that you've already broken up with An Wuyang. If I got together with you now, I wouldn't even dare imagine how An Wuyang would mock me!" Sun Zhiming sighed.
"I can't say what else would happen, but 'Later' would definitely become my personal theme song." Sun Zhiming joked.
Yang Kai asked curiously, "Brother Sun, what's the joke about 'Later'?"
"Get in first as the big brother, become the little brother later. Got it?" Sun Zhiming hummed.
"Cough, cough!" Yang Kai held back his laughter, which ultimately came out as a cough.
The others were not Sun Zhiming's lackeys. Even though Sun Zhiming was paying for the meal, some of them could not help bursting out laughing.
Sun Zhiming's explanation was simply too hilarious!
Some of them had originally been secretly displeased with Sun Zhiming for mocking Su Yueling, but after hearing his explanation, they actually began to agree with him.
It was not that girls could not date, but a girl's ex-boyfriend could not be someone they knew—and certainly not someone they knew who also had conflicts with them!
After all, who would want to be the little brother who came later?
An Wuyang: You there? Want to listen to "Later"?
