"Brother Song, why are you ignoring me...?"
Guo Xiaolan's soft, sultry voice came through again.
Without a second thought, Jiang Ruizhao immediately hung up.
"Beep beep."
Meanwhile, in Guo Xiaolan's dormitory.
Guo Xiaolan lay on her bed, staring at the disconnected call with a baffled look. "Why did he hang up?"
Guo Xiaolan did not think much of it, assuming Xu Wen was checking up on her.
"Sister Xiaolan, that new bag you bought is so pretty."
Seeing the bag hanging at Guo Xiaolan's bedside, her roommate spoke with envy.
Guo Xiaolan smiled slightly, instantly growing proud. "Hahaha, I bought it because I thought it looked good too."
"Ah, I thought your boyfriend bought it for you."
Guo Xiaolan muttered inwardly that while Jiang Ruizhao's family was not poor, they were not rich either. He could serve as a long-term meal ticket, but she should not expect him to buy her a bag like this.
At the same time, inside the BMW 5 Series.
Jiang Ruizhao trembled as he looked at the 15 Pro Max in his hand. He held up the phone and scanned Song Haoning's face, then unlocked it.
Jiang Ruizhao tremblingly opened Song Haoning's contacts, found Guo Xiaolan's profile picture, and tapped it.
The moment Jiang Ruizhao saw their chat history, his face turned pale.
"Brother Song, do you think my waist is slim?"
"Picture!"
"Brother Song, do you think the new lace underwear I bought looks nice?"
"Picture!"
"Brother Song, please pay attention to me. Tonight, are we still... going there?"
"Cute..."
"..."
Jiang Ruizhao frantically scrolled upward, but the farther he scrolled, the more he broke down.
A thunderbolt exploded in Jiang Ruizhao's mind, and the images before his eyes were like sharp knives.
Jiang Ruizhao's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at the screen.
Jiang Ruizhao's left hand unconsciously clenched into a fist. His knuckles whitened from the force, and his nails dug deeply into his palm, yet he felt no pain at all.
Jiang Ruizhao's body trembled slightly, not from fear, but because his rage had reached its limit.
His lips quivered. He wanted to roar, but something seemed to be lodged in his throat.
She had never even sent him these pictures, and he had never heard these sickeningly sweet words from her!!!
Jiang Ruizhao's mind was in chaos. Every moment he had spent with Guo Xiaolan flashed before his eyes like a movie.
"Why...?"
"Why?!"
"Why did you treat me like this..?"
Those sweet promises and warm moments.
At this moment, they had all become the sharpest blades, slicing and tearing at Jiang Ruizhao's heart again and again.
And Song Haoning, lying before Jiang Ruizhao—his once familiar and friendly face now looked so disgusting and hateful.
At that moment, Jiang Ruizhao wanted nothing more than to kill Song Haoning, but... he still held himself back.
Jiang Ruizhao took a deep breath, put the phone back, then closed the door and left alone.
Jiang Ruizhao walked down the street, looking on the verge of collapse.
His girlfriend was actually involved with Song Haoning... in that kind of relationship.
Jiang Ruizhao thought of the hickey on Guo Xiaolan's neck that day, and his face immediately darkened. It probably had not been... a mosquito bite at all.
Jiang Ruizhao seemed to think of something. He immediately took out his phone, found Mu Changsheng's profile picture, hesitated for a moment, then called him.
At that moment, Mu Changye had just finished making deliveries.
"Today's earnings were pretty good. I actually made over sixty thousand."
Mu Changsheng smiled easily. Making deliveries was pretty fun.
It would be great if he got a big order.
Unfortunately, big orders were not so easy to come by.
Just then, Jiang Ruizhao called, leaving Mu Changsheng slightly stunned. "Why is this guy calling me?"
Mu Changsheng was puzzled, but he still answered.
"Changsheng, can you come to... Binhe Park?"
Hearing the slight choke in Jiang Ruizhao's voice, devoid of his usual overbearing arrogance, Mu Changsheng found it somewhat strange. "What do you want?"
But Mu Changsheng had actually already guessed. Jiang Ruizhao had probably discovered what was going on between Song Haoning and Guo Xiaolan.
"Can you come over?"
"If not, I can come find you."
"I have something to tell you."
Mu Changsheng's lips moved slightly. "Wait for me there. I'll be there soon."
"Okay."
Mu Changsheng hung up and headed toward Binhe Park.
Binhe Park.
It was evening.
The trees lining the paths of Binhe Park stood tall and straight, their branches and leaves gently swaying in the caress of the breeze.
Mu Changsheng walked along the pebble-covered path and soon spotted Jiang Ruizhao sitting on a bench ahead.
There was a case of beer beside Jiang Ruizhao, along with toppled beer bottles. It looked like he had drunk quite a lot.
Mu Changsheng walked over. Looking at the already somewhat incoherent Jiang Ruizhao, he took a sip of cold water and feigned confusion. "You... have you gone crazy?"
Jiang Ruizhao raised his head and looked at Mu Changsheng, his face flushed red and his expression trembling. In the end, he lowered his head and said in a shaky voice, "Changsheng... before, I was... wrong. I looked down on you with Song Haoning and was harsh and mean to you. I'm sorry..."
Mu Changsheng did not immediately accept the sudden apology.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly saying this?"
"Changsheng, I wasn't human before. I wronged you, but now, I'm begging you, please help me..."
Jiang Ruizhao suddenly rose to his feet in agitation, grabbed Mu Changsheng's arm, and spoke urgently.
Before you continue
