Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi
Su Jiushan glared at Yu Gangan and a flash of hatred appeared in her eyes, “Yu Gangan, what shameful method did you use to confuse Senior Xia?”
Xia Chengzhou’s face looked extremely displeased.
Yu Gangan was speechless.
Had Su Jiushan been making things difficult for her because of Xia Chengzhou?
She sneered, “Dr. Su, I understand that you like Dr. Xia. I know that it’s heartbreaking when the person you like doesn’t like you back. But, just because your heart is broken, you can’t go around attacking people. Not everyone likes the same thing as you do.”
She made it clear that she would never be interested in Xia Chengzhou so Su Jiushan would stop bothering her.
But, these words sounded sarcastic and provocative in Su Jiushan’s ears.
Xia Chengzhou’s rejection was a taboo and trigger for Su Jiushan. She was so angry that her face turned red, “Yu Gangan, stop trying to drive a wedge between us. Others may not know, but I am certain that you are...”
“You say I’m driving a wedge between you and you make me sound like a nasty and deceitful person. In that case, what are you? A teacher of justice or a self-righteous saint. Dr. Su, don’t think too highly of yourself. Just because you dislike a person, it doesn’t mean they are a bad person.”
Yu Gangan left behind these words and ignored Su Jiushan as she left.
Su Jiushan looked at Yu Gangan with hatred and muttered, “How dare you still put on an act?”
“That’s enough,” Xia Chengzhou said coldly.
Su Jiushan looked at Xia Chengzhou with disappointment, “I know that because I like you, you must think that I’m doing everything because I’m jealous of the two of you. But, that’s not the case. I simply don’t want you to be tricked by her...”
“Enough!” Xia Chengzhou interrupted again.
He took a deep breath and tried to sound as gentle as possible so Su Jiushan could accept his words.
“Jiushan, we’ve known each other for many years. I’ve already told you before that we weren’t suitable. You are a good woman. I have faith that you will find a man that suits you sooner or later. Moreover...Dr. Yu isn’t the way you think she is. She honestly came here to study. There’s nothing between us. We haven’t even exchanged more than a few words.”
Su Jiushan’s shoulders trembled a little as her eyes turned red, “Senior Xia...”
“I still have something to do. I’m going to get going,” Xia Chengzhou said lightly.
Su Jiushan bit her lip as she watched Xia Chengzhou walk away and clenched her fists.
She felt resentful, but it wasn’t directed at Xia Chengzhou. It was directed at Yu Gangan.
She didn’t think there was anything wrong with Xia Chengzhou. After all, in her mind, Yu Gangan was the one that fooled him with her fancy words.
So, Su Jiushan made a decision at that moment to expose Yu Gangan’s despicable side.
Even if Xia Chengzhou misunderstood her, she would do whatever she needed to do.
Xia Chengzhou would know that he misunderstood her once he saw the real Yu Gangan.
Yu Gangan returned to the dormitory and found out that Fang Zhihan sent her a message after she looked at her phone.
<Fang Zhihan: When are you coming home?>
He had sent the message when the seminar just finished. She was so busy dealing with the 3 childish men that she didn’t realize.
2 hours had already passed. Should she go back?
Yu Gangan held onto the phone. She didn’t want to go back so her finger was already typing: ‘I’m not coming home...’
But then she wondered why she should tell him that. What home wasn’t she returning to? That was Fang Zhihan’s home, not hers.
