Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Seven: Twists and Turns I (2/2)

Yan Jin revealed a nasty smile. “They can sell anything for the sake of their interest. A heir that has no talent in managing business happens to be the perfect candidate for connections through marriage.”

Liu Ye opened his mouth in astonishment and then nodded his head thoughtfully.

The two of them shared the gaze and the smile of old co conspirators.

In a faraway place where Nan Wei thought that he was completely safe, he sneezed several times in a row as his eyelids twitched crazily.

……

“Meoww.”

Faye used her soft paws to tap Xiao Yu’s upset head and leaned her entire body over.

Xiao Yu returned the gesture and rubbed Faye’s little head and spoke nonchalantly. “I’m fine.”

But the words that came out of his throat were very hoarse.

“Meoww.” If you have anything upsetting you, just speak your mind.

Faye sat in Xiao Yu’s lap and quietly looked at Xiao Yu.

“Thank you. I’m really okay.” Xiao Yu sniffled as he buried his face into Faye’s soft tummy. He ridiculed himself in a soft voice saying,

“I’ve been dreaming for a long time. I should wake up now.”

Faye remained silent as her gaze filled with doubt.

For some reason, she seemed to understand that feeling.

It was like the desperation she felt as the world abandoned her.

……

Two days later, Xiao Yu, who was still unaware that he had been exposed, laid on his bed as he scrolled his mobile.

After experiencing the despair from the conversation with the current chairman of YL, Xiao Yu felt like he was no longer the person he was before.

He had endured adversity with no hopes at all and was still willing to move on. He knew that it was a bottomless abyss ahead, yet he still chose to walk right into it. It was probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience, he thought.

He had given up on looking for a new job. Although he was unsure what exactly happened, it seemed like it was impossible to find a suitable job in real life. Xiao Yu felt helpless as he could only change his target to online platform.

Accepting assignments from online studios was not particularly better. The salary could not be compared to what he could have earned from an actual office job. However, he was left with no other choice as his life still had to go on. Moreover, he still had a large amount of debt to repay.

His previous designer account was rather well-known. However, he had no choice but start anew with a new account. To a rookie designer, it was very important to stand out as conspicuously brilliant right at the beginning, so Xiao Yu’s first task was to look for suitable studios and assignments.

About halfway through the list, Xiao Yu received a notification from his QQ app.

He opened it and to his surprise, it was a message from his university group of friends who were organizing a class gathering.

Xiao Yu casually browsed through and muted the group’s notification.

He would never attend that class gathering.

Firstly, he did not complete his university studies and had gone overseas halfway through. He did not have close ties with those classmates who had finished their four years of study together. Hence, he did not have anyone he was close to. Secondly, the class gathering would probably end up being held in S City. Anyone could have heard of what happened to him recently, and it would be like an invitation for them to humiliate him. Lastly, he was currently unemployed. If he had free time, he might as well use it to look for a job.

Xiao Yu could find many excuses not to attend that gathering. However, when a notification appeared on his mobile once again, all those excuses were swept away because of an emotion called anger.

[Lin Zhou]: I’ll be coming to the class gathering. There are things that ought to be said in person.

Seeing that name alone could make Xiao Yu explode in anger, much less seeing how impolite the other party was behaving.

[FISH]: What is there to talk about between us? Still trying to act like a senior?

[Lin Zhou]: I just want to make things clear between us. Aren’t you curious why I’m against you?

[FISH]: Is there a need for me to be curious about what thoughts could a person like you would have? Without you in sight, I’m living a very happy life.

[Lin Zhou]: What use could there be trying to show off now? Come to the gathering. I’ll tell you everything.

[FISH]: Hah. Reverse psychology has no effect on me. Even if you kneel before me now, I will not attend it.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Yu’s attitude in his replies was abnormally resolute that the other party replied after a long wait.

Just when Xiao Yu thought that Lin Zhou had given up, a message appeared from the top bar of his mobile.

……

[Lin Zhou]: Don’t you want to know why your car crashed?
