Chapter 137: 137 Sun Watermelon

The appearance of the other party made Li Shuru temporarily abandon the idea of settling the bill.

Although the other person’s complexion didn’t look good, she still politely said,

"Sit down."

The other party acted as if she hadn’t heard, motionless, and with an almost interrogative tone asked, "Who is he?"

Without needing much thought, this "he" was definitely referring to Sun Xiyu, who had left not long ago.

"A friend."

Li Shuru simply explained.

"A friend? Or a romantic interest?"

Apart from being cold, the other person’s tone was laden with anger that wasn’t hard to detect.

"Li Shuru, how can you do this to Jiang Chen?"

Li Shuru was neither irate nor did she attempt to explain.

"This is my business, and it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you."

"It may not have anything to do with me, but I can’t let you deceive Jiang Chen like this!"

Li Shuru smiled faintly.

"What have I lied to him about?"

"You’re deceiving his feelings! If you decided to be with him, why are you still maintaining an ambiguous relationship with other men? Do you see Jiang Chen as just one of the fish in your pond?"

Indeed.

The girl who asked the accusatory question from a high and mighty position was none other than Ai Qian.

She actually came in just now intending to buy a few cups of coffee to take back to the dormitory, and just so happened to witness the scene of Li Shuru and Sun Xiyu sitting together.

At first, she thought she had seen wrongly.

"Jiang Chen treats you so well, is what you’re doing fair to him?"

Ai Qian became angrier as she spoke.

From her expression, it didn’t seem like she was taking advantage of catching someone’s mistake to let off steam; instead, it appeared as a genuine heartfelt indignation on behalf of Jiang Chen.

The smile gradually faded from Li Shuru’s face.

"You don’t seem to have the right to lecture me. If you think there’s something wrong with what I’m doing, you can call Jiang Chen."

"You think I don’t dare?"

Having been struck at a sore spot, Ai Qian’s face became even colder.

Indeed.

She had wronged Jiang Chen.

It was an undeniable fact.

But that didn’t mean every woman could play with Jiang Chen’s feelings.

For a moment, she really felt a strong urge to call and tell on her.

The two women, one sitting and one standing, faced each other with an atmosphere tense as if on the verge of explosion.

"Not calling?"

Li Shuru asked.

Ai Qian took a deep breath; although she didn’t want Jiang Chen to be deceived again, in her current status, she indeed had no right to intervene in his relationships.

What would be her position if she made that call?

The ex-girlfriend causing trouble?

"Li Shuru, I admit, I wronged Jiang Chen, but I hope you can learn from me. Those who let down others won’t end up with a good fate."

After leaving those words, Ai Qian turned around and left, taking the packaged cups of coffee from the counter.

Li Shuru, maintaining her composure, let out a breath slowly, sat in her place, took out her phone, and took the initiative to call Jiang Chen.

If Ai Qian wasn’t in class, then Jiang Chen, who was in the same class, must be the same.

The call was quickly connected.

Jiang Chen’s voice came through on the other end.

"As it happens, I was just about to look for you."

"What are you doing?"

"I’m at the administration building."

"What are you doing at the administration building?"

"The watch you gave me was smashed by someone, and today they compensated me for it."

"Is everything settled?"

"Yes, just finished."

"Wait for me at the administration building, I’ll come to you."

"Okay."

Li Shuru called the waiter over to pay the bill.

————

"Four hundred and twenty-six thousand eight hundred, not a penny less."

In front of the administration building.

Facing the approaching Li Shuru, Jiang Chen showed off the bank card in his hand with a hint of pride.

"His parents paid the compensation?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "No, it seems he was very afraid to tell his family, so he borrowed from an outsider."

"Who would lend a university student so much money?"

Although Li Shuru wasn’t at school when the incident happened, she had heard about it from Jiang Chen. The student was just someone from an average, middle-class family.

"Take a guess."

Jiang Chen teased her.

"It wouldn’t be a high-interest loan, would it?"

Li Shuru’s quick thinking exceeded Jiang Chen’s expectations, and he was momentarily taken aback.

Girls who are too smart can make a man feel less accomplished.

"That’s right, he borrowed from Bai Haoran."

Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.

"Bai Haoran?"

Upon hearing this name, Li Shuru truly felt caught off guard, and her expression gradually turned strange.

"How does that student know Bai Haoran?"

"It was Liang Zhenlun who made the introduction. The student knew Liang Zhenlun and wanted to borrow money from him, but Liang Zhenlun didn’t have it, so he introduced him to Bai Haoran."

Li Shuru remained silent.

She knew all too well what kind of person Bai Haoran was. After all, he had been her ’damsel-saving hero,’ pulling Jiang Chen back from the edge of a construction site building, and later, she had witnessed him stabbing himself with a knife.

A person who could be so ruthless even to himself, borrowing money from him was like a lamb walking into a tiger’s den, a path leading to one’s own doom.

Li Shuru could already envision the tragic future where the student was endlessly pursued for debt.

"Here."

Jiang Chen passed her the bank card.

"What’s this for?"

Li Shuru interrupted her train of thought. She wasn’t someone who liked to wallow in sentimentality or lavish pointless sympathy on people who didn’t matter.

"You bought the watch. Naturally, the money should be given to you."

This card contained over four hundred thousand. It wasn’t just substantial for a university student; to most people, it was a significant sum.

"I’ve already given you the watch. It’s yours now. I don’t want it."

Li Shuru quickly refused, her attitude firm.

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to say more, she changed the subject.

"I just met someone."

"Who?"

Jiang Chen asked subconsciously.

"Sun Xiyu."

Jiang Chen naturally didn’t recognize the name, having never heard it before.

"Someone from our school?"

"No."

Li Shuru looked at him, "He’s a friend I met off-campus."

Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered as he sensed something was amiss.

If it were an insignificant person, Li Shuru probably wouldn’t have gone out of her way to find him.

"It’s not your ex-boyfriend, is it?"

"I don’t have an ex-boyfriend; I’ve told you about the guy from my first love."

"So, this Sun Watermelon..."

Li Shuru could not help but chuckle, "His name is Sun Xiyu."

"Right, Sun Xiyu. What’s his relationship with you?"

"Previously, everyone thought we were a good match," Li Shuru said tactfully.

Jiang Chen understood.

"The one whose family owns a hotel?"

It seemed he had heard Xu Siyi mention it before.

"How do you know?"

Li Shuru was surprised and then realized, "Did Si Yi tell you?"

"Hmm, she talked to me about it. It seems like you two were close to getting together, right?"

"Not close to, but rather, it was never going to happen."

Li Shuru spoke calmly, "There’s too much of a gap between his family and mine, and we have many different views. We simply aren’t suitable for each other. His family needs a wife who is a good manager of household affairs and mother."

"Are you implying that you’re not that kind of wife?"

Jiang Chen teased.

Li Shuru glared at him.

"Why are you so annoying."

Jiang Chen laughed loudly.
