Chapter 601: There Was Never Sincerity, So How Can There Be Betrayal?

After confirming Shen Nian was unharmed, Chu Lingxiu turned to face Gu Shuxin.

The person standing before her was no longer the best friend she remembered. With a self-deprecating smile, Chu Lingxiu looked at Gu Shuxin.

"If there was never any sincerity, then what betrayal is there to speak of!"

’When it came to Gu Shuxin, she had always been sincere. Even after learning Gu Shuxin’s true colors, she had never kicked her while she was down.’

’When it came to this friendship, her conscience was clear!’

"Sincerity? Hah! You’re the great heiress of the Chu Family. Don’t tell me you’d actually be sincere with me? What a joke! You were probably laughing at me behind my back the whole time! If it weren’t for the connection to the Gu family, would an heiress like you ever be friends with someone like me? Sincerity? What good is sincerity!"

"If that’s how you feel, then there’s nothing more to say."

’Chu Lingxiu had completely given up on someone as incorrigible as Gu Shuxin. She no longer had any desire to say another word.’

"Let’s go."

After she finished speaking, Chu Lingxiu and the three people with her started walking toward the dormitory.

"Don’t you dare leave!"

Gu Shuxin shouted, about to try the same trick again and lunge at them.

But before she could make a move, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind her.

"Well, isn’t this a lively scene!"

Gu Shuxin turned her head and saw Qi Chengliang. She didn’t know when he had arrived, but he was now standing a short distance behind her.

"Cheng Liang..."

’Before this, Gu Shuxin had always looked down on Qi Chengliang. But after everything that had just happened, she knew it was now practically impossible for her to get into the Gu family.’

’Chu Lingxiu had also completely broken ties with her, so she no longer had any help in her plan to destroy Shen Nian and Lu Cheng’s relationship and marry Lu Cheng.’

’But Qi Chengliang... he had always been completely obedient to her. Even if he was a far cry from the Gu family or the Chu Family, at least the Qi Family had money!’

’Perhaps she ought to grab hold of Qi Chengliang and not let go. That way, at least, she would be financially secure for the rest of her life.’

"Shuxin, I came looking for you. I have to say, I didn’t expect your school to be so... lively!"

Qi Chengliang didn’t have much going on today, so he decided to come to B University to find Gu Shuxin. He never expected that the things he would overhear on his way here would be so... eye-opening.

He already knew that the Gu Shuxin he liked was far from the innocent girl he had imagined her to be. But everything he heard today told him that he had truly underestimated her.

"Cheng Liang, take me away from here. I don’t want to be here a moment longer."

Gu Shuxin ran to Qi Chengliang’s side and grabbed his arm. She wanted to escape everything that had happened at the university. ’With Qi Chengliang here, he’ll definitely comfort me,’ she thought. ’Yes, he’s sure to comfort me!’

Qi Chengliang looked down at Gu Shuxin’s hand on his arm. He had pursued her for so long, yet he’d never had any physical contact with her before.

Even the last time, when he had bought her so many gifts, she hadn’t even given him so much as a pleasant look.

And now, she was being this forward with him. So forward, in fact, that he felt almost overwhelmed by the sudden attention.

’It seemed the things he’d overheard had affected Gu Shuxin even more than he’d imagined!’

Just as Qi Chengliang was about to say something to Gu Shuxin, a voice suddenly called out from up ahead.

"What the— Bro, what are you doing here? You and Gu Shuxin... Don’t tell me you two are involved somehow?"
