Chapter 872 - 604: The Beginning
Minister Sun just left the company.
After seeing off Minister Sun, Xia Liang stretched lazily and got ready for his first task at work.
Time rushed by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the evening, according to the plan, Minister Sun once again arrived at Qingyun Normal University.
The same place, a different time, a different purpose.
The last time he came here.
He held visions of the future, dreams of happiness.
But this time.
He came back here.
For revenge on the woman who betrayed him.
His figure remained busy.
Except.
There wasn't a trace of happiness left.
Heart-shaped candles were arranged crookedly.
Balloons tied with ribbons swayed wildly as the autumn wind blew.
As if narrating the owner's sorrowful mood.
At this moment, it was dinner time for students at Qingyun Normal University.
Some boys passing by recognized Minister Sun's figure.
"Isn't that the guy who was rejected when he proposed three days ago?"
"It really is him!"
"I didn't expect him to be so persistent."
"What's the point of being persistent? The girl he proposed to, named Ma Xinyi, is a third-year graduate student studying Chinese, and apparently she's the belle of the Chinese department at East Normal University."
"I heard they've been dating for five years."
"What does five years matter? I saw Ma Xinyi getting into a BMW worth a thousand yuan, and the owner looks really young, probably a rich second-generation."
"Women these days are really materialistic."
"Who says they aren't?"
"He looks pretty lonely, why don't we go over there and help him out?"
"I'm fine with that; I ate a lot at lunch and I'm not hungry now, helping him isn't a big deal."
Quite a few passing boys spontaneously went up to Minister Sun.
Some helped light the candles, some held the balloons steady.
Some girls passing by also recognized Minister Sun.
They stopped to watch.
But.
They were here just for the spectacle.
"This guy really has thick skin, coming back for a second proposal after the first failed."
"Exactly, I'd be annoyed to death if I had a suitor like that."
"Future boyfriend seekers, keep your eyes peeled, otherwise you'll end up with a clingy man and suffer for it."
"…"
Soon enough.
The proposal scene set up by Minister Sun became surrounded by students from East Normal University.
.........…
Meanwhile.
Ma Xinyi was eating in the second cafeteria at East Normal University.
Suddenly.
Her phone rang.
She pulled out the latest iPhone 13 Pro Max from her LV handbag.
The bag and phone were gifts from her newly acquainted boyfriend, Wu Bin.
She felt a bit fortunate now.
If her roommate hadn't dragged her to a bar half a month ago.
She wouldn't have met Xu Bin.
And wouldn't have known how enjoyable the world of the wealthy could be.
All these years.
Her experiences were limited by her family's circumstances.
She never had the chance to enjoy a luxurious life.
And Wu Bin's appearance.
Made her appreciate the beauty of a material world.
Dinners averaging 2000 yuan...
Handbags worth a point...
Phones worth a point...
A night at a luxurious five-star hotel costing three to four thousand yuan.
Every time she thought.
About those fragrant, plush hotel rooms.
And the soft, smooth sheets and attentive hotel staff.
It made her linger forever.
Deeply caught up in the allure of a material world.
And all this.
Was provided by Xu Bin.
It was Xu Bin who opened up a new world for her.
As for the boyfriend who loved her for five years.
She had long forgotten him.
Sometimes.
When Ma Xinyi was alone in her dorm.
She even blamed.
If it weren't for her years of dating Minister Sun.
With her looks and temperament.
Perhaps.
She would have found a better man long ago.
And wouldn't have endured years of hardship.
Luckily.
She now had no connection whatsoever with the man who kept her poor!
The caller ID showed it was her roommate.
She swiped her hand to answer the call.
"Dear Qinqin, what's up?"
"Not good, Xinxin, that boyfriend of yours is back at our university again, setting up a proposal scene at the same place."
"What? He's here again? Didn't I make myself clear last time?"
"Xinxin, you'd better call him proactively, this continued back-and-forth isn't good for your image."
After hanging up, Ma Xinyi directly dialed Minister Sun.
Minister Sun had just answered the call.
Ma Xinyi's roars already came through.
"Minister Sun, haven't I been clear enough with you? Why do you come back to school and stage this proposal scene again? Did I not make it clear that there's no future between us? Please leave me alone, okay? Isn't loving me supposed to mean thinking about my well-being? Is your love nothing but satisfying your selfish needs? Isn't the best way to love someone to let them go?"
Using love as a threat, Ma Xinyi abruptly turned the tables on Minister Sun.
Upon hearing her words.
Minister Sun's heart finally died.
He laid it all out.
"Ma Xinyi, there's no need to pretend, I've seen you getting into another man's car, you've already cheated during our relationship, haven't you? If you don't come to the proposal, I won't mind telling your current boyfriend about us, it's your call!"
With that, Minister Sun hung up the phone.
Hearing Minister Sun expose her "secret".
She got worried.
The persona she maintained for Xu Bin was that of a well-mannered girl with good looks.
If.
Xu Bin discovered she had been seeing two people at once.
That would be terrible!
As for Xu Bin.
She had greater aspirations.
She not only wanted to be Xu Bin's girlfriend but also wanted to be his wife. For wealthy people, a wife brought home can't have moral flaws.
Especially girls like her.
From modest backgrounds.
Even though she had the looks, elegance, and figure, the doors weren't evenly matched, which posed a real barrier.
To prevent Minister Sun from making a big fuss, Ma Xinyi, filled with resentment, set out toward Minister Sun's location.
Soon.
Ma Xinyi arrived at the proposal scene.
She pushed through the crowd, directly reaching Minister Sun.
Upon seeing Ma Xinyi's arrival.
Minister Sun got down on one knee, handed her the roses, and said.
"Xinxin, I'll ask one last time, are you willing to marry me?"
Ma Xinyi stretched out her right hand, grabbed the roses, and threw them fiercely to the ground.
"Minister Sun, I'm begging you, can you stop pestering me? We've already broken up, and as for the money you spent on me over these five years, rest assured, I'll pay you back! I just ask one thing! Please stop nagging me! Who says dating must end in marriage, isn't breaking up allowed in relationships? How long will your continuous pestering last? Our relationship is broken beyond repair, we can't be together! If you truly love me, let go boldly, okay?"
