In the noisy and crowded restaurant, Gu Qingjiu, who had had a minor headache, to begin with, felt her head aching even more now.
After all these blissful days, she nearly forgot that in her previous lifetime, other than Yu Shiwei, this Su Lingche was also one of those who had caused her to live a wretched life.
But who could she blame?
She could only blame herself for being blind.
Su Lingche had always been a meek man who didn’t even dare to speak up in the Yu family.
He would hide behind Yu Shiwei and act as that invisible hand.
On the surface, it might seem like Gu Qingjiu’s greatest tragedy stemmed from the Yu family.
But this Su Lingche had left an unforgettable scar in Gu Qingjiu’s life.
So much so that even as she recalled the past now, that tolerant Chief Instructor who treated her gently would surface in her mind.
Compared to this Su Lingche, the difference was like heaven and earth.
The Chief Instructor treated her well, not just in speech, but more so in actions.
As for Su Lingche, he used to coax the ignorant Gu Qingjiu with sugar-coated bullets in the past.
Thinking back, it was a huge irony.
The sight of this person made Gu Qingjiu’s longing for the Chief Instructor, which she managed to suppress with great effort, to flood out in an unstoppable manner.
She stroked her forehead and got to her feet, completely ignoring Su Lingche. “Bao’er, let’s go back. I’m a little tired.”
She treated Su Lingche as though he was invisible, making him stand there awkwardly.
Yu Bao’er threw Su Lingche a curious gaze. Since she could see that Gu Qingjiu didn’t wish to bother with him, she said nothing and merely nodded. “Okay.”
What a pity! There was so much unfinished crayfish, and yet already they were leaving.
Yu Bao’er asked the waiter to help them take away the remaining crayfish.
Seeing that Gu Qingjiu and her friend were about to leave, Su Lingche’s face turned a notch paler. He hurriedly waved a hand and explained, “Don’t be offended. I just didn’t expect I would run into you here, so I came over to say hello.”
Gu Qingjiu finally spared Su Lingche a gaze. “Who are you? Do we know each other?”
“…”
Su Lingche’s face turned utterly stiff.
He never expected Gu Qingjiu not to spare him any face at all.
Most importantly, he had always taken pride in his looks. Most girls would cast a few more glances at him.
Gu Qingjiu should at least have given him some face.
But she ultimately did not.
“Shh” sounds came from the adjacent table, making Su Lingche even more awkward.
After their food was packed up, Yu Bao’er asked for a few disposable gloves, then hooked her arm around Gu Qingjiu. As she held the pack, she chirped, “Let’s go.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded. Without even sparing another glance at Su Lingche, she left directly.
She didn’t wish to be entangled with this man in this lifetime again. Not even in the least bit.
Her main target was the Yu family and not Su Lingche.
Su Lingche was merely proof of her being blind in love previously. In this lifetime, they had nothing to do with each other, so Gu Qingjiu had no interest in seeking any actual revenge on Su Lingche.
However, Su Lingche failed to enter the Yu family and enter Yu Shiwei in this lifetime.
As such, he wouldn’t enter the Yu Corporation the way he did in the previous lifetime.
That meant he might live out the rest of his days as a mediocre man.
This was the biggest revenge to an arrogant person like Su Lingche.
At the thought of this, Gu Qingjiu cast a brief glance in his direction as she left, her lips curled in an icy smile.
Watching them leave without turning their heads, Su Lingche couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly with a look of fury in his eyes.
