a troubled expression, revealing much inner worry."Heh heh... It's okay, it's okay, never mind..." The boss dabbed at his reddened eye with a finger and spoke in an attempt to sound carefree.Xiao Yu...Although the girl at that time found him weak and poorly earning, he endured it all in hopes of safeguarding their relationship. However, to his surprise, she initiated a breakup after only experiencing a little.

As for Xiao Yu When this girl proposed breaking up, seeing that she wasn't joking around, Xiao Yu didn’t say anything and simply walked away.

Xiao Yu had his pride. As long as the girl said she wanted to break up seriously, no matter how hard it was on him emotionally, he wouldn't beg her for reconciliation.

Because a relationship needed both parties' efforts to maintain it. Once one of them decided to end it, there would be no more value in continuing it because even if they reconciled, there would always remain an emotional rift.

Moreover, Xiao Yu had been tortured enough by this girl, serving her like a servant every day, and when he lost his job due to an incident, she immediately broke up with him.

Saying it this way, it seemed that she didn't believe Xiao Yu hadn’t stolen women's underwear, or maybe she knew he wouldn't do such a thing but took advantage of the opportunity for a breakup. Only she would know why exactly.

Initially when they met, although Xiao Yu’s appearance and attire were ordinary, there was something about him that attracted her. Therefore, she initiated their relationship proactively. However, after dating, his frugal lifestyle greatly disappointed her, and this feeling only intensified over time. As a result, even though she knew Xiao Yu wasn't the kind of person to do such things, she decisively ended the relationship when the news broke out.

From her usual behavior, Xiao Yu could tell that the girl was somewhat vain. However, since they were in a relationship, he still treated it seriously and tried his best to meet her demands. But gradually these demands became an emotional burden for him.

So when this girl said she wanted to break up, Xiao Yu didn't feel as sad as expected; instead, there was a sense of relief. It was then that he realized that there had never been real love between them.

However, thinking about it now, even Xiao Yu found it somewhat laughable: He dated this girl for two months and merely held her hand once. Yet, he felt no regret, considering his traditional mindset.

"Damn... Third Brother, let's go! What’s there to be angry about" The man had barely finished speaking when the third brother Zhang Qiu Zhan shouted angrily at him, but was immediately interrupted by Xiao Yu who spoke up.

Now, both individuals are strangers to Xiao Yu, so he has no intention of acknowledging them. Although this man framed him, without his treachery, Xiao Yu wouldn't have encountered these situations.

The situation with the woman is even more straightforward. They parted amicably in their past and never affected Xiao Yu's life. Besides, he now has Yunxi, so he can afford to completely ignore them both.

"Damn it, you've been dating Xiaqing for over two months and only held her hand. But I On the second day of pursuing her, I had my way with her. Compared to me, you're far behind!"

Old Third Zhang Qiuzhan's loud shout startled the man; after all, standing at 6 feet tall with dark skin, Zhang Qiuzhan was intimidating compared to the rest. The man hurriedly took a few steps back upon hearing Zhang Qiuzhan's roar.

However, when Zhang Qiuzhan was called over by Xiao Yu, this man felt humiliated for his earlier display and stepped forward to shout at Xiao Yu. After all, he had made Xiao Yu quit his job and break up with his girlfriend back then, but Xiao Yu silently left without a word. Hence, the man believed that Xiao Yu was just a weakling.

Upon hearing what the man said, Xiaqing's face fell too, but she didn't speak up. In the past, she could flaunt her authority over Xiao Yu and not even spare this man a glance. But now, since he had become the department manager, his status and income in the company have completely changed.

Even just days ago, several new girls joining the company were discussing how good it would be to marry him due to his youthfulness and other qualities. Therefore, Xiaqing always looked up to this man; she wasn't worried about dumping him but rather was afraid he might dump her.

After all, she's enjoying a luxurious life now, with envy from her colleagues that makes her feel on top of the world. She always follows his lead and dares not even speak to him normally.

At this moment, although she felt insulted by what he said, she dared not say anything in response.

"What are you looking at You freak! Get lost!" The woman lowered her head awkwardly after hearing the man's words. But when she raised her head again and saw Xiao Yu's gaze sweep over her, she suddenly snapped like a cat on edge, bellowing at Xiao Yu.

In her view, Xiao Yu was someone without backbone whom she could freely berate; during their relationship, he never gave her any attitude back either.

Therefore, although Xiao Yu's gaze only swept over her, she felt a mocking look in his eyes when he looked at her. So, without daring to shout at the man, she started yelling at Xiao Yu.

Hearing this woman’s words, Xiao Yu's gaze turned cold, and a flash of frost seemed to pass through his eyes as he looked at her.

When Xiao Yu’s gaze fell upon this woman, it was like a sharp blade cutting through the air, causing her heart to shiver uncontrollably, making her involuntarily take two steps back.

In the past, when she and Xiao Yu were together, he had been like a meek sheep, agreeing with everything she said. Even if she scolded him for a while, he would not dare say anything else; sometimes in the middle of the night, if she called him to tell him that she wanted an apple, he would buy it and bring it to her without hesitation. After bringing it back, even if she did not let him enter her house or complained about how slow he was, Xiao Yu never had any complaints.

It was precisely because of this that she dared speak so rudely to Xiao Yu; in her eyes, he was a poor wretch. But just now, the look in Xiao Yu’s gaze made her feel an eerie chill, something unimaginable in the past.

"Let's go," after giving the woman a glare, Xiao Yu turned around and said to Wei Jun and the others.

Although they had broken up, Xiao Yu did not want to say anything more. After all, there was an old saying that went: even if the deal doesn’t succeed, one’s righteousness remains intact! Therefore, he held back everything these two people said.

Furthermore, both of them were ordinary people; there was a vast gulf between them. Thus, Xiao Yu did not take their provocation to heart at all; his mind was as calm as still water.

After saying this, Xiao Yu turned around and walked forward. These two wanted to say something else, but thinking of the frosty look in Xiao Yu's eyes just now and looking at the people around Xiao Yu—just Zhang Qiu Zhan alone made them feel an immense pressure—they hesitated, deciding not to voice their thoughts.

Wei Jun and Wang Chengzhi all glared fiercely at these two people, secretly admiring how good-tempered Xiao Yu was. If this sort of thing happened to any of them, they would have already slapped the other person silly.

However, Xiao Yu did not dwell on it; there wasn't even a flicker of emotion in his eyes. Knowing that Xiao Yu completely ignored these two people, Wei Jun and the others all glared at them before following Xiao Yu's lead and walking forward.

Men and women stared helplessly as Xiao Yu walked away with his group, wanting to shout but hesitating before remaining silent. Only when they were out of sight did the man start cursing: "Damn it, if you’ve got guts, come back! How dare a penniless guy look at me like that And you too, damn it, why didn’t you speak up for me!"

After saying this, he abruptly shook off the woman’s hand and walked away alone.

In his heart, he was extremely frustrated. Although the woman had claimed that Xiao Yu never held her hand, and she had also said back then that Xiao Yu was her first boyfriend,

when she moved in with him, Xia Qing wasn’t a virgin anymore, which infuriated him greatly. As such, he usually didn’t treat women nicely.

Xiao Yu dropped off Wang Chengzhi and the others at the hotel but nobody asked Xiao Yu about his past, even though he seemed to not care. Nobody knew how Xiao Yu felt inside, so they chose not to bring it up.

Actually, Wei Jun was somewhat aware of this matter. Last year, Wei Jun had met this girl and heard about Xiao Yu’s situation, but since Xiao Yu didn’t seem to have any major problems at the time, he hadn’t said much.

Xiao Yu booked a room for Wei Jun after dropping them off because Wei Jun was quite drunk, so Xiao Yu didn’t let him leave. Not only would it be far for Wei Jun to travel back, but it wouldn’t be safe for him to go home in such a drunken state.

After settling everyone down, Xiao Yu left and headed towards his own house. Those two were now strangers to him, so the incident earlier had no effect on him at all.

When he got home, after washing up, he went straight to the crypt to recover his spirit energy. Since Zhuo Simiao still showed no signs of waking up, once Xiao Yu’s spirit energy was restored, it could potentially be useful in helping Zhuo Simiao.

The next morning, Xiao Yu drove towards the hotel where Wei Jun and the others were staying.

When he arrived, the four of them had already gotten up and were waiting for him in the lobby. Since they all drank quite a lot last night and felt groggy, nobody said anything else.nterrupted by Ahu as soon as he started speaking.Ahu hopped up from the chair on one leg and began hopping towards the exit.Tianming and the others watched with gritted teeth as their big brother, dre...
