Chapter 809: 603 Let flowers be flowers, let trees be trees_2

Shao Shuhuai could no longer tolerate it and deliberately put on a tough stance, "See you in court, then. We will defend our legal rights at all costs."

"Count me in."

Li Shuru was unmoved, abruptly so, and after speaking, she turned her head and walked toward the door.

Just as she was about to reach the door, she suddenly paused and turned around, "What’s your name?"

Until now, she hadn’t even bothered to remember his name.

Shao Shuhuai was breathing heavily with his face twitching.

Like all children who come out of the countryside, he was diligent in his studies and worked hard with the hope that one day, he could stand out and earn everyone’s respect!

That’s why, seeing the explosion of the virtual love game’s popularity, he harbored wicked thoughts, twisted the facts, and slandered a former classmate to gain the favor of the company bosses.

"I, am, called, Shao, Shuhuai."

He ground his teeth, pronouncing each word distinctly.

Li Shuru nodded.

"Consider changing industries, regardless of the outcome of this lawsuit, you won’t be able to make it in the gaming industry anymore."

Having said that, Li Shuru opened the door and left, leaving Shao Shuhuai sitting alone on the sofa in a daze.

Striving to climb up wasn’t wrong,

and resorting to some tactics wasn’t a big deal.

There’s a saying that goes,

"No man is a true man without a bit of poison."

But the problem lies in overestimating one’s importance.

Given Tianci Capital’s current strength, they might not necessarily be able to deal with Hamolei, but if they were dead set on dealing with a so-called engineer like him, it should be as easy as drinking water.

Shao Shuhuai felt as if he had just awakened from a dream, his anger and humiliation quickly dissipated, replaced by waves of panic washing over him.

"How did it go?"

The office.

Jiang Chen, who was chatting with Luo Peng, looked towards Li Shuru as she walked in.

"He probably came to haggle, but I rejected him."

Li Shuru spoke with light indifference, omitting the manner of her refusal.

She was never an approachable girl.

Moreover,

it was the other party who had started trouble unprovoked.

And she wasn’t related to him, so why should she coddle the other party’s fragile self-esteem?

Self-respect is never something given by others.

"Having such a despicable person as an alumnus is truly shameful."

Luo Peng didn’t conceal his disdain, "By the way, wasn’t it always Wei Chuyin before? Why did they send him instead?"

"Wei Chuyin took a leave of absence."

Li Shuru explained.

"No wonder he’s not hiding behind someone else now." Luo Peng had a sudden realization and sneered, "Having a dark heart is one thing, but he’s not even manly."

Li Shuru was actually already being polite. If Luo Peng had been the one to go instead, things would probably have been much worse.

"I ran into Wei Chuyin yesterday."

Li Shuru suddenly said.

"Where?" Luo Peng asked instinctively.

"At school."

Li Shuru looked at Jiang Chen, "And Ai Qian too."

"Ai Qian?"

Luo Peng looked puzzled, then suddenly grasped the situation and glanced at Jiang Chen uncontrollably, and with a cough as if something was wrong with his throat, he sputtered, "Ahem, ahem, ahem..."

Jiang Chen remained unruffled, smiling, "What a coincidence."

Luo Peng was quite clever and quickly said, "I think my throat feels a bit uncomfortable, I’ll go get some medicine, you two chat."

With that, he promptly made his exit, quickly leaving the office.

Jiang Chen acted as if nothing had happened, his composure unnerving.

"Did you greet her?"

In times like this, it was even more critical to stay calm.

Otherwise, the other party might start to speculate wildly.

Besides, he and Ai Qian were already a thing of the past.

"What do you think?"

Li Shuru’s expression was calm, giving nothing away, as she watched Jiang Chen, "I bumped into them at the old library."

The old library.

It was on the rooftop garden where

he and Ai Qian had officially ended it.

"I haven’t been in contact with her since graduation. How is she doing now?"

Jiang Chen didn’t pretend to be indifferent, knowing that the girl standing before him was extremely clever. Overacting would just backfire, so he asked a reasonable question.

Of course.

His use of language was quite skilful, conveying that he had already distanced himself from her.

"I feel," Li Shuru paused and then said, "not very good."

Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed slightly, but his expression still did not fluctuate much, and he asked with a faint smile, "Why do you say that?"

Although Ai Qian had been quite extreme for a while, she seemed to have come to terms with things later, so even when she ran into Li Shuru, he wasn’t too worried that the scene would become too ugly.

"What did you two talk about?"

"Nothing at all."

Jiang Chen laughed, a wry smile on his face, teasingly saying, "You talked about nothing, and you say she’s not very good? Could it be you still..."

"If I really minded, I wouldn’t have let you meet Wei Chuyin. I still remember, she insulted me too."

Jiang Chen grinned, "And you say you’re not petty, remembering something that happened so long ago."

"Has it been that long?"

Indeed.

When you think about it, it’s been just over half a year, but it felt like too many things had happened.

"I misspoke, Luo Peng just praised you to me, saying you’re the most open-minded woman he’s ever met."

"Have you really not been in touch with Ai Qian?"

Li Shuru asked.

Jiang Chen immediately shook his head, "Really not, do you still think I would lie to you? There’s nothing left for her and me to talk about."

"Has she not tried to contact you again?"

"No."

Jiang Chen smiled, showing great patience, "Why would she contact me? Deep down, she’s actually a very proud person; she might even get married without letting me know."

Li Shuru was amused, "Come on, I didn’t say anything."

Jiang Chen spoke seriously, "Straight talk."

"To never have any contact again only shows you can’t let go. If it’s just an ordinary classmate, what’s the harm in staying in touch?"

Jiang Chen responded with ease, "So what you’re saying is, I should get in touch with her more?"

Li Shuru gave him a sideways glance, young in age but with an allure of sophistication.

"I’m not joking with you, I think Ai Qian might really not be doing well now. I bumped into her yesterday, and although we didn’t talk much, I felt her state was very bad..."

Li Shurui continued, "And Wei Chuyin’s complexion also looked off."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and for a moment, he actually didn’t know if the other party was testing him.

"You mean they should have hurled abuses at you, right?"

Li Shuru silently looked at him.

Jiang Chen laughed, "Perhaps it’s the pressure of work. That’s very common. After all, stepping into society from school, it’s easy to feel ill at ease, maybe that’s why they went back to school for a visit."

Hearing this, Li Shuru didn’t think too much about it. She really wasn’t a petty woman, but neither was she magnanimous to the point of allowing her man to show warmth and concern to other women.

That wasn’t integrity; that was foolishness.

"If she comes looking for you again, you can’t keep it a secret from me."

Jiang Chen laughed heartily.

"Did you hear me?"

Jiang Chen kept smiling and nodded, "Loud and clear! I promise not to act on my own and will report to the ’organization’ immediately."

Li Shuru showed a look of satisfaction and said, "Get on with your work, I need to go to the dance studio."

Hard to believe that she, a proper boss lady, was actually worrying about a little dance club.

Jiang Chen didn’t stop her, and as she turned to leave, he called out, "Will you come back tonight?"

"Not today."

Li Shuru didn’t look back, her pace quickening as she ran out the door as if escaping.

And rightly so.

No one wanted to go through the sensation of numb lips.

Jiang Chen laughed at himself in silence.

Did he really seem like that much of a lecher?

All he had innocently wanted was to enjoy a cozy world for two, nothing more.

Li Shuru had left.

Recalling their recent conversation, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but pull out his phone.

Even though they had broken up, he hadn’t deleted her contact - he still had Ai Qian’s WeChat.

"Let flowers be flowers, let trees be trees."

This was Ai Qian’s WeChat status.

He opened Moments.

The most recent post was stuck at the time of their graduation photo.

The Ai Qian in the photo was dressed in a cap and gown, her smile gentle, warm.

Scenes of the past played back in his mind like a slideshow, uncontrollably.

Though he had let go completely, people are not computers that can be formatted.

Jiang Chen knew that these memories would stay with him forever, unable to be erased.

It is the good and bad memories alike that give life texture.

Ultimately, he did not disturb her and exited Moments, put down his phone, swiveled his chair, and stared out the window in a daze.
