"Boss, why? You tell me why. I still don't know why. We were doing so well, we agreed to marry after I graduated, but she..."

Jiang Chen gripped the bottle tightly, his eyes bloodshot, his tone full of unwillingness.

Ye Qingfeng shook his head gently without speaking. In this world, there are too many temptations. Even the purest of people might get lost in the flood of desires. Zhang Yuting's departure from Jiang Chen, although disgraceful, was a matter of feelings and her own choice.

As a bystander, she didn't have much right to speak.

Seeing Jiang Chen in such pain, Ye Qingfeng spread his hands and said directly, "Alright, just give me the word, and I'll immediately go beat Wu Sicong up, or even kill him!"

Ye Qingfeng's face was serious, without a hint of joking, but Jiang Chen thought Ye Qingfeng was comforting him.

He forced a smile and shook his head, "Boss, thank you for being willing to listen to me complain!"

"Even though Wu Sicong is hateful, in the end, it's my own uselessness. If I were capable, how could Zhang Yuting leave me?"

"If I went and beat him up, Zhang Yuting would only look down on me more!"

Hearing this, Ye Qingfeng didn't deny it. A man failing in love and using fists to solve it is indeed a sign of incompetence.

"Alright, tonight I'll drink with you to the end!" Ye Qingfeng raised his bottle, "But remember, just this once. After tonight, I want to see the old Jiang Chen, not this version that I don't recognize!"

Jiang Chen, too, perked up a bit and clinked bottles with Ye Qingfeng, "Boss, cheers!"

The two drank and chatted, no longer mentioning Jiang Chen and Zhang Yuting. They mostly talked about their high school days.

"Boss, when I first met you, to be honest, I thought you were pretentious. I thought you were forcing it, but later I realized, you're the real deal!"

With the alcohol in his system, Jiang Chen's words became unstructured.

"The school belle, the class belle, all of them were smitten with you, and you just acted indifferent. Those big shots in Jiangnan City, all bowed their heads to you with great respect. I really envied you; I really admired you!"

Lightly shaking the bottle, Jiang Chen sighed, "If I were as impressive as you, boss, how could Zhang Yuting leave me?"

Ye Qingfeng remained silent. There is indeed a vast difference between people. With his skills, not only Jiang Chen, but even looking globally, which young people can compare to him?

At that moment, the bar door was pushed open, and a group of young men and women entered together, suddenly making the previously quiet bar lively.

Ye Qingfeng didn't pay attention, while Jiang Chen glanced at them and suddenly showed a hint of joy, standing up to wave.

"Class rep, you're here too?"

Among the young crowd, a girl paused at first and then smiled charmingly, quickly walking towards Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, what a coincidence, you're here too!"

The girl greeted Jiang Chen, and just as she finished speaking, her gaze lightly moved and she suddenly noticed Ye Qingfeng sitting opposite Jiang Chen, her body trembled slightly.

As she approached, Ye Qingfeng's face was blocked by the back of the booth, so she hadn't seen him clearly. Only now did she recognize him.

"Ye...Ye Qingfeng?"

The girl's lips parted slightly in disbelief.

"Song Shuyao?" Ye Qingfeng raised his head slightly, showing a rare gentle smile, "Long time no see!"

The girl, who was indeed the long unseen Song Shuyao, looked at Ye Qingfeng in astonishment. This was the first time Ye Qingfeng showed her such a gentle attitude.

Staring at his handsome face that had appeared countless times in her dreams, Song Shuyao felt a surge of emotions.

Miao Miaomiao had told her that Ye Qingfeng was studying at Yanjing University. She had gathered the courage several times to go see Ye Qingfeng at Yanjing University, but each time, thinking of Ye Qingfeng's indifferent expression, she stopped and gave up.

She hadn't expected to run into Ye Qingfeng here today.

"Ah, long time no see!"

Song Shuyao pulled up a chair and sat by the table, her beautiful face full of smiles.

When she hadn't seen Ye Qingfeng, she always had a lot to say, but now, seeing Ye Qingfeng, she couldn't say a word.

To her, just sitting at the same table as Ye Qingfeng was satisfying enough.

"Shuyao, is he your friend?"

Song Shuyao was just about to ask Ye Qingfeng why he was there when a female voice came from behind her.

The newcomer was a girl, stunningly beautiful, although a bit less so than Song Shuyao, still a top beauty.

Her face carried an air of arrogance and condescension, but upon seeing Jiang Chen, her expression changed to one of disdain and mockery.

"Oh? Isn't this the unfortunate guy who got his girl stolen by Wu Sicong?"

As soon as the girl spoke, Jiang Chen's face, still smiling, turned dark.

He glared at the girl, and even though his anger didn't diminish, he didn't dare utter a word upon recognizing her.

"Hey, why are you glaring at me? Am I not speaking the truth?"

The girl was undaunted, standing boldly next to Song Shuyao.

"Shuyao, what are you doing here? Is this unfortunate guy your friend?"

The girl pointed at Jiang Chen, teasingly.

"Pei Ling, stop talking nonsense!"

Song Shuyao frowned slightly, displeased with the girl's words.

The girl's name was Zhong Peiling, a rising star in the student union at Huaqing University, very clever and capable, with a powerful family back in Jinling. Her beauty was also widely admired at Huaqing University.

Zhong Peiling, with her arrogant nature, glanced at Jiang Chen again and snorted, "So he's Shuyao's friend, huh? Sorry about that, I shouldn't have called you an unfortunate guy, it slipped out!"

But despite her words of apology, there was no trace of sincerity on her face.

Jiang Chen clenched his fists, anger raging in his eyes, but thinking about Zhong Peiling's background, he ultimately held himself back.

"Shuyao, let's go. They've reserved a special booth upstairs, it's quiet, just the nine of us. Sitting here is too pathetic!"

Zhong Peiling tugged at Song Shuyao, trying to pull her away.

Song Shuyao didn't move, shaking her head, "Pei Ling, you go ahead. I've run into old friends and want to catch up with them!"

Zhong Peiling's beautiful eyes widened, puzzled, "Old friends? How can people like them even approach you?"

Zhong Peiling had noticed Ye Qingfeng earlier. His striking looks surprised her, but since Ye Qingfeng hadn't looked her way, it left the pride in her heart unsatisfied.

And seeing Ye Qingfeng's casual attire, without a single branded item, her disdain only grew.
