Ding Yutong’s expression was somewhat awkward, feeling uncomfortable to stay any longer, so she said, "You guys go ahead and talk, I have something to do, I’ll head back first."
"Mm!" Chen Siyan nodded, "Sister Yutong, take your time going back."
"Take care, Teacher Ding." Yang Chen also gave a slight nod as a gesture.
Ding Yutong smiled awkwardly, picked up her handbag, and quickly left.
Ye Xin and Wei Xueqing exchanged a glance and also walked out.
The door was closed, and Chen Siyan looked at Yang Chen with a complex gaze, worriedly saying, "Brother... are you okay?"
Yang Chen smiled slightly, standing by the window, gently shaking his head.
Chen Siyan lowered her head and said, "Brother, actually... Sister Yutong told me before, the current Sister Ting is different from the past, she’s wealthy, her life is different from ours. When Sister Ting gave me the money for treatment, she also told me and the dean that she was grateful for all the care over the years, but after taking so much money, she no longer has any ties with us. I know... she just said it like that, otherwise she wouldn’t have asked Sister Yutong to look after me."
Yang Chen nodded, speaking gravely, "I know."
"But you..." Chen Siyan was still very worried.
Yang Chen turned around, smiling, "Silly girl, you don’t need to worry about me. In my heart, Sun Xiaoting is still the Sun Xiaoting from before, whether she has money or not, how she changes doesn’t matter to me. If she needs me, I will still look after her as I always did. If she doesn’t need it, just as you said, she has no ties with us, she lives in the world of the wealthy, and we have our own world, not having any ties, both sides being well, isn’t that the best outcome?"
"Oh..." Chen Siyan still didn’t quite understand, but somehow felt the result wasn’t as bad as she had imagined.
As soon as she got in the car, Ding Yutong frowned and said, "Xiaoting, what did you say to Yang Chen?"
Sun Xiaoting gave Ding Yutong a slight glance, saying, "What else to say, let him give up hope. I really misjudged him; he used to be so proud and self-reliant, but now he wants to use my connections to climb up, to struggle less for decades, which is absolutely impossible. He and I are not from the same world!"
"How can you say that!" Ding Yutong felt very angry.
"What about me?" Sun Xiaoting gave Ding Yutong a cold look and said directly, "Do you know what kind of people are around me every day now? Either they want to use me to create a cooperative relationship with my family, or they crave my parents’ money. I’ve seen too many of these men, and Yang Chen is no different! I told Chen Siyan very clearly, there’s no more relationship between us, and I don’t want to see Yang Chen again, but he insists on making trouble for himself, it’s all self-inflicted!"
Ding Yutong felt that Sun Xiaoting at this moment was somewhat unreasonable.
At this time, Yang Chen and his group of three came out from the lobby entrance.
Yang Chen was walking in front, beside him was an incredibly stunning woman, holding onto his arm, looking very intimate.
The two looked like a couple; the man’s demeanor was still okay, but his attire seemed a bit shabby.
The woman was as beautiful as if she walked out of a painting, her every smile mesmerizing everyone. Her clothes were top fashion brands, at a level ordinary people couldn’t reach, and her demeanor was even more enchanting.
Beside the two, there was another woman in a business suit, looking competent and assertive, yet her demeanor was not weak, also extremely beautiful, comparable to most stars.
Seeing this scene, Sun Xiaoting felt on the verge of anger, she shouted, "I said it! I was really foolish to think Yang Chen truly didn’t care about me, didn’t care about my current status and position, turns out he’s already someone else’s boy toy! Just using me as a backup!"
Because of her anger, Sun Xiaoting’s expression was somewhat distorted, appearing terrifyingly fierce.
Ding Yutong, unable to bear it anymore, said directly, "You’re overthinking! The woman with Yang Chen is Ye Xin; they’ve always been in a relationship! The one beside them is Wei Xueqing, the CEO of the Shangdong Group. Right now, Yang Chen is working as Wei Xueqing’s bodyguard, with an annual salary of a million!"
"What?" Sun Xiaoting was startled, "He’s the bodyguard of Wei Xueqing? A million a year?"
Ding Yutong nodded, "If it weren’t for Chen Siyan, Yang Chen would be doing well. Even so, now that Chen Siyan’s condition is improving, the bone marrow transplant was very successful; even the doctors said the results were excellent. I think, by next year, when he’s earning a million a year, maybe not living too extravagantly, but at least he won’t be struggling!"
Sun Xiaoting was dumbfounded.
She couldn’t associate this amount with Yang Chen.
Just a moment ago, she was still thinking about whether to give Yang Chen a breakup fee of a hundred thousand to account for their youthful, naïve relationship.
Turns out, he didn’t need it at all.
She looked at Ye Xin again, even she couldn’t help but sigh at how beautiful this woman was, feeling inadequate in comparison...
It turns out... she really was overthinking.
At this moment, Sun Xiaoting didn’t know what she felt in her heart, regret? or disappointment? She couldn’t figure it out.
"Let’s go!" Ding Yutong sighed and said, "You said there’s no tie with them, yet I don’t understand why you still followed them and brought a flower basket to Chen Siyan."
Sun Xiaoting pursed her lips, pretending to be calm, and said flatly, "I came because it was convenient, even though I didn’t want to see them, but since I was here for Chen Siyan’s surgery, bringing a flower basket didn’t cost much. I came here to wait for someone, I heard the old master and the chairman of the Zhang Group are hospitalized here, I wanted to see if I could meet them. I think the only man in Ningchuan worthy of me would be Zhang Shaoting."
"Zhang Shaoting?" Ding Yutong shook her head, "The Zhang Group is wealthy, but Zhang Shaoting is just a playboy, do you think he would settle down with you?"
Sun Xiaoting glanced at Ding Yutong, coldly saying, "I have that confidence!"
Just then, a sleek Bentley rolled into the parking lot.
Sun Xiaoting’s eyes brightened, she shouted, "Look! That’s Zhang Qishan’s car! I know his license plate number!"
Ding Yutong, curious, leaned forward to look too, after all, the Zhang Group is like a myth in Ningchuan.
They noticed, as soon as the car stopped, Zhang Qishan directly opened the door to get out, appearing in a hurry.
The driver beside him wanted to open the door for him, but Zhang Qishan was faster.
Zhang Qishan glanced towards Yang Chen’s direction, beckoned, and jogged over to shake hands warmly with Yang Chen.
"How is this possible?" Sun Xiaoting’s eyes widened, unable to believe the scene in front of her.
