Chapter 868 - 296: Falling Out with Her Best Friend, Bai Weixi’s Heart Shattered (Part 2)

"Then let’s not bother with this relationship!"

"Stop trying to convince me, I’ve decided to break up with him. I refuse to believe that unless every man on earth is dead, I can’t find someone better than him."

Weixi and Xu Beibei exchanged a look, both feeling a bit helpless and somewhat puzzled.

They had subtly asked, what exactly Yuchen was texting with those guys that made Xu Zhi so furious in front of the entire class.

Who exactly were those guys to Wang Yuchen!

But Wang Yuchen merely said those guys were just admirers chasing after her.

She only felt a bit of affection, considered them friends, and nothing more had happened...

Weixi truly couldn’t understand why Wang Yuchen would do this.

Xu Zhi was already doing quite well and was very nice to her,

So why was she stringing along other guys?

Weixi then thought about her own experiences.

Even when she first entered university, there were many classmates and seniors openly pursuing her.

However, due to her feelings for Li Yuan, she rejected them all, leaving no room for any hopes.

Even when she found out that Li Yuan was seeing several other girls at the same time,

including one who was her own roommate, she never retaliated by accepting other suitors.

Because she understood clearly, should she do that and give other guys a chance, if Li Yuan found out, there would no longer be any possibility between her and Li Yuan.

It would become a permanent rift, an insurmountable mountain between them, hindering any chance of being together.

It was on the day Li Yuan told her about his past lives, that she understood why he acted the way he did towards her; everything had its reasons.

This made her feel even more fortunate for sticking to her principles and not foolishly spiraling after that incident...

That evening,

on the "Mandarin Duck Slope" at school, Li Yuan sang "White Moonlight and Cinnabar Mole" to her alone, recounting the love story from a past life.

Her heart completely belonged to Li Yuan, never to change...

So, as time passed, she came to accept the presence of Zhong Tingyue and Xia Zhijin, gradually moving from rejection to acceptance...

Perhaps one day, when she felt tired, she might give up on this relationship, but not now...

Weixi had many thoughts racing through her mind, flashing through her past.

Currently, she was quite content with this life.

At the very least, with Li Yuan, she was fulfilled physically, emotionally, and materially.

She had foreseen the future!

No, she was already embracing the future now.

She certainly wasn’t going to foolishly give away the happiness she already had to other girls.

If anything, she wouldn’t be the one to make such a move first!

Weixi looked at Wang Yuchen and solemnly reminded:

"Yuchen, I’m not sure what else I can say to persuade you; I’ve mentioned this many times. I just hope you take this relationship seriously and don’t end up regretting it. Xu Zhi is genuinely good to you!"

Already a bit drunk from alcohol and feeling utterly embarrassed after the public altercation with Xu Zhi in front of the entire class, Wang Yuchen,

upon hearing Weixi’s words, couldn’t suppress the surge of resentment, envy, and jealousy, and explosively retorted sarcastically...

"Weixi, it’s easy for you to talk when you have no qualms, but how much better are you than me? How noble are you?"

"Wasn’t Li Yuan not good to you before? He pursued you for three years, and you never accepted him either!"

"Ask yourself honestly, why did you say yes to Li Yuan only after entering university? Isn’t it because you found out he could earn tons of money, so you went after him?"

"Even now, if Li Yuan has several girls at once, you still chose not to leave!"

"Do you think I don’t know why?"

"Isn’t it because Li Yuan has money, bought you a sports car, a luxury house..."

"So don’t act all noble in front of me, dictating from your moral high ground; the truth is, we both want a better life..."

Hearing such hurtful words from the best friend she thought she could talk to about anything, Weixi couldn’t take it...

It felt like a heavy hammer hit her heart, leaving her mind blank. Her mouth opened, but no words came out, as she stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded at Wang Yuchen mocking her...

At that moment, she felt a bit shattered, her beliefs somewhat collapsing.

She couldn’t believe that in Wang Yuchen’s eyes, this was how she was seen.

That she would say such things about her.

Meanwhile, Xu Beibei, hearing Yuchen suddenly lash out and viciously attack Weixi over a single innocent remark, was also utterly incredulous.

Their friendship had been strong since high school, and they’d known each other for a long time as good friends and close pals.

But it was the first time she saw a good friend say such things about Weixi.

Seeing Weixi about to burst into tears, her body trembling, the large tears rolling down her cheeks, Xu Beibei quickly supported her, opening her mouth to comfort her, but couldn’t find the words.

The words from Wang Yuchen were truly hurtful, immensely painful to hear.

How could Weixi bear it!

"Um, Bai, don’t be mad right now." Xu Beibei carefully offered a word of comfort, then turned to a glaring Yuchen with a frown:

"Yuchen, why are your words so harsh?"

"Bai was just trying to kindly give you advice. Why did you say that? It only broke Bai’s heart, so quickly apologize to Bai, we’re still good friends."

After snapping at Weixi, seeing her break down in tears, Yuchen felt a slight sense of regret.

However, having just drunk alcohol and quarreled with Xu Zhi, she was in no mood to concede.

She merely frowned; her eyes, filled with envy and unwillingness, glanced at Weixi but stayed silent.

That day when Li Yuan casually spent millions on a BMW Z4 for Weixi, and threw in luxury bags, clothes, shoes, necklaces worth tens of thousands, plus that fleeting touch...

She fantasized about living such a life too.

However, when with Weixi, although she had dropped hints, Weixi never responded, even deliberately distancing herself.

After that, she didn’t care as much.

But later when she found out Li Yuan had other girlfriends besides Weixi, and Weixi accepted that, she started having thoughts.

Before Weixi’s birthday, a few more times she hinted privately to Weixi, only to face rejection, leading her to feel unbalanced.

Why could you comfortably enjoy all that luxury, wear designer clothes, flaunt brand necklaces, drive a hundred-thousand-dollar sports car, live in a mansion...

While I had to scrimp to eat even KFC.

Although Xu Zhi was nice, he had no ambition or drive, nothing compared to Li Yuan.

She believed if Weixi truly considered her a close friend and wanted to help, she could live that life too...

Weixi wasn’t aware of Yuchen’s thoughts right then, only sat there crying, in disbelief staring at the dim night sky.

The friendship she thought she cherished turned out to be laughable.

In Yuchen’s heart, she was seen as such a person.

A shameless woman only after Li Yuan’s money?

Crying, Weixi looked deeply at Yuchen once more.

The friend she had known since middle school, thought to share everything with, had such a face, she couldn’t accept it.

"Beibei, I’m a bit tired, I’m leaving first!"

After speaking, Weixi picked up her purse and walked away, heartbroken, down the road.

Left behind were a bewildered Xu Beibei and a silent Wang Yuchen...
