Chapter 350: Chapter 351: Let’s Break Up

"Cheng Hao."

A crisp voice rang out.

Having just finished a call to his family, Cheng Hao, to no surprise, was thoroughly scolded by his father.

After being thoroughly berated, for the first time, he made no rebuttal. Cheng Hao just held the phone, taking the tirade for nearly half an hour, even the waiter gave him several looks.

Nowadays, a phone call is frighteningly expensive, and so is the call charge—the waiter really hadn’t seen anyone so extravagant as to make such a costly call!

If it weren’t for Cheng Hao not looking like someone who couldn’t afford the phone bill, the waiter would have snatched the phone away long ago.

That clear voice made Cheng Hao, who had been silent for a long time, brighten up instantly, and he excitedly said, "Yaru, I’ve thought of a way, there will be a turnaround in a few days."

Zou Yaru looked at his smiling face, her lips moving slightly.

"Yaru, believe in me, I’ve said it, I’m not worse than anyone else, definitely not worse than that Gu Junhe." Cheng Hao looked at her silence, and those calm eyes, and he always felt like he was about to lose something.

Zou Yaru took a deep breath and asked, seeing that there were quite a few people around, "Where is your room?"

"Come with me."

Cheng Hao led Zou Yaru to his room, both remaining silent the whole way.

Cheng Hao poured her a glass of hot water and placed it in front of her.

"Yaru." Cheng Hao had just started to speak but was interrupted by Zou Yaru, "Let’s break up."

Cheng Hao hadn’t even settled into his seat yet when he heard her words, and his motion to sit down froze instantly.

"Why?"

Cheng Hao straightened up, and although she was sitting right in front of him, less than a meter away, it felt as though she was so far away.

"Because of your father’s situation? I’ve said it, the money problem can be solved." Cheng Hao said somewhat agitatedly, his hands clenching his pants tightly. He took a quick step forward, squatting in front of Zou Yaru, took her hands, and said, "Haven’t we been very happy these past six months? We agreed to plant lots of wisteria flowers in the yard and build a flower swing for our kids to play on."

"Does all that mean nothing now?"

Cheng Hao had never imagined that one day he would be so lowly.

"It means nothing now."

Tears fell from Zou Yaru’s eyes like pearls after talking with Zou Yashi yesterday. Zou’s mother came to her, said a lot, a lot, and she understood clearly that she couldn’t selfishly sacrifice her father for her own love.

"Here is the watch you gave me, now, I’m giving it back to you." Zou Yaru freed her hand from his, taking off the watch that she had always treasured from her wrist.

Cheng Hao didn’t take it, just staring at her intensely.

Zou Yaru placed the watch on the nearby table, stood up, turned around quickly, and dared not look at Cheng Hao’s expression anymore.

"Were our feelings for the past half-year all fake?"

"Why, won’t you believe in me?"

Cheng Hao’s voice sounded like a low murmur from behind her. Zou Yaru took a deep breath and said, "Cheng Hao, you don’t understand, you just don’t understand. Our love was a beautiful memory, and now, let’s not meet again, I... "

She looked up slightly towards the ceiling, tears spilling out rapidly, and said, "My fiancé won’t be happy."

"Yaru, you are truly heartless."

Cheng Hao watched her leaving back. He slowly rose to his feet, his coat brushing against the watch on the table, sending it crashing to the floor where it shattered on impact. The hands stopped moving, just like the sentiment between them, ended.
