Chapter 588: Chapter 592: Singlehoodism (17)
Tan Zhi was detestable, but Su Li couldn’t just watch her get ruined by a scumbag with her eyes wide open.
She had already received the punishment she deserved, and must be having an exceptionally sour and exhilarating day today.
Su Li was indifferent, but she wasn’t so apathetic as to ignore the evil happening around her without caring at all; otherwise, wouldn’t she become a part of that evil?
Of course, if she hadn’t seen it, that would have been a different matter.
She would only say that you reap what you sow, and that events have their causes.
Su Li walked ahead while Tan Zhi followed behind, the two entering the dormitory one after the other.
Inside the dormitory, Mo Xiaoxi and another roommate were sitting close together, chatting and laughing.
The moment Su Li entered, the cheerful laughter stopped abruptly.
Mo Xiaoxi pursed her lips and exchanged knowing glances with another roommate, filling the entire dorm with a silent awkwardness and discomfort.
Most girls would probably feel terrible seeing this scene.
Such scenes had been happening frequently over the past few days.
Regarding this, Tan Zhi was quite pleased, as this was one of her effective strategies for striking at her rival, and she was also the instigator of giving Su Li the cold shoulder.
But today, seeing the familiar scene, Su Li passed by as usual, expressionless, and it was Tan Zhi who felt extremely uncomfortable inside.
"Mo Xiaoxi, what’s wrong with you... got a twitch in your eye? Or is the muscle coordination on your face off?"
Mo Xiaoxi, with an expression of surprise as if Tan Zhi had taken the wrong medication, timidly asked, "Xiao Zhi, did you eat gunpowder today? Why so hot-tempered?"
Mo Xiaoxi pretended not to understand, but in fact, she knew exactly why Tan Zhi was so angry today.
Tan Zhi despised Mo Xiaoxi’s poor acting skills and complained impatiently, "Enough, stop pretending. Your face is already showing that you’re gloating."
Previously, the two were as close as one, and now their faces were torn apart just like that.
The plastic friendship between girls is indeed so miraculously fickle.
Mo Xiaoxi played the victim and said, "Xiao Zhi, are you still angry that I didn’t go to bat for you... But you know the situation, that man was crazy..."
Many people saw how Tan Zhi got involved initially, and she was genuinely afraid of ending up like Tan Zhi.
What if that man changed his target and took a sudden interest in her like last time?
Not to brag, but although her looks couldn’t compare to Su Li, they weren’t much worse than Tan Zhi’s; in fact, she even felt she was a bit more glamorous than Tan Zhi.
Mo Xiaoxi: "I am frank by nature and tell it like it is, Xiao Zhi, don’t be angry, okay?"
Tan Zhi no longer wanted to speak to this woman.
Su Li took a book from her bookshelf, glanced at the two women squabbling like fighting cocks, and then walked straight out of the dormitory.
She had to rush the real estate agent later.
Seeing Su Li leaving, Tan Zhi bit her lip and followed her.
Watching Su Li about to disappear from her sight, Tan Zhi anxiously called out, "Su Li, wait, wait a moment."
Su Li stopped as she was told.
Tan Zhi hurried over with an awkward trot, fidgeting with her fingers for quite a while before she squeezed out a sentence from her throat, "About before... I’m sorry..."
"I won’t dislike you anymore."
Su Li: "But I still dislike you."
Tan Zhi covered her chest with her hands, feeling as if an arrow had pierced her heart.
Did she have to be so harsh...

On the other side, Wan Shimin, who had embarrassingly returned home, sat huffily on the sofa.
Mrs. Wan, who had heard a noise from the kitchen and craned her neck to look out, was startled by her son’s swollen, pig-headed face.
She threw down the spatula in panic, and anxiously rushed out, asking with a tearful voice as she clutched Wan Shimin’s sleeve, "Son, what happened to you?"
Wan Shimin sprawled on the couch like a lord and called out rudely to his mother, "What are you gaping at? Go get me the medicinal wine."
Mrs. Wan was completely flustered, not knowing what to do, naturally doing whatever her son asked.
After fetching the first aid kit, Mrs. Wan hesitated before saying, "Son, did something happen to you... Otherwise, I, I could call your uncles, let them make decisions for you?"
The moment Wan Shimin heard this, already frustrated, he became even more furious and kicked the coffee table in front of him.
"What goddamn uncles, I have no uncles..."
Wan Shimin still resented that when the Wan Family went bankrupt, his uncles gave a bit of help and then washed their hands of the matter.
He found their persistent meddling so unbearable that he had outright added them to the do-not-contact list.
Such uncles, it was better without them.
Mrs. Wan’s mouth moved as she tried to explain, but the words to do so never came out.
It wasn’t just Shimin who resented them; she herself also had grievances against her family.
Though they always looked down on her husband and son, and sometimes they were indeed terribly unsupportive, in the end, they were her husband and child, the support for the rest of her life.
Couldn’t they offer support for her sake?
But it was of no use for Mrs. Wan to think more of it, because her brothers didn’t even care for her now.
It is easy to slip from frugality to luxury, but hard to return.
Used to a wealthy wife’s life, Mrs. Wan had only managed household chores for a while and found it unbearably difficult.
Seeing her son unwilling to mention his troubles, she thought for a bit, then remembered what her husband had mentioned earlier—to find a fiancée for their son.
So she changed the subject and carefully asked, "Son, what about the matchmaking candidate your dad introduced to you?"
"How are you two getting along... When will you bring her home for your mom to see?"
Mrs. Wan was very hopeful about this, her son was so outstanding; had the Wan Family not been ruined, they would never have needed to consider a match with a girl from an ordinary family.
No matter how excellent the girl was, in her heart, she was not good enough for her son.
So it never occurred to her that this arrangement might not work out.
She had it all figured out; once the girl entered the family, she could be freed and enjoy some peace.
Little did she know, when Mrs. Wan brought this up, it directly hit Wan Shimin’s raw nerve.
Ignoring the pain in his face, he leaped up furiously, hurling a barrage of curses that left Mrs. Wan completely dumbfounded.
Staring blankly, with a grievous face, she barely grasped the gist of her son’s rant.
"It didn’t work out?"
With a heavy snort, Wan Shimin turned away, not wanting to look at his mother anymore.
His mood lightened slightly only after seeing his father return.

When Zhu Zhihua received a call from that person who once left her feeling so bitter and sorrowful, she was sitting blankly in the empty house.
Seeing the specially noted name, Zhu Zhihua did not feel as complex and conflicted as before, only weak, without the energy to care.
