After their last confrontation at the mall, Su Xingchen had not shown up again.
Cheng Yue had thought he had given up. Who would have guessed that, after lying low for so long, he would unleash one final move before leaving the country?
Tattling.
According to what Ji Huaijin had found out, Su Xingchen came from a fairly well-off family. Through a close friend of his aunt by marriage, who had married into a family in Sucheng,
he had passed word to the Ji Family that Ji Huaijin had a boyfriend.
That was what had prompted the old patriarch of the Ji Family to call and summon him home.
Cheng Yue slammed a fist into a pillow in anger. "Fuck! I knew he was up to no good!"
Even as he left, he still had to screw Cheng Yue over!
Ji Huaijin sat beside him and smiled. "Honestly, they were bound to find out."
He and Cheng Yue had never hidden their relationship in Capital City. Even his youngest uncle, all the way in Sucheng, had heard rumors. It was only a matter of time before the old man and the others found out.
Cheng Yue understood that, too. They were dating openly, and sooner or later, the day would come when they had to face their families.
He just had not expected it to come so abruptly.
"They won't... lock you up or anything, will they?"
That was how it always went in TV dramas. Wealthy families refused to let their children date men, then resorted to extreme measures to force two people in love apart.
In the end, for each other's sake, they could only go their separate ways.
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Cheng Yue sprawled on the bed in despair.
