After going bankrupt, the school beauty I was dating became my boss.

It's lunchtime now, and the coffee shop is much quieter than the bustling restaurants outside.

Shen Shi'an sat in his seat, quietly looking at Wang Jiaojiao across from him, without rushing to answer.

The woman in front of me was young and beautiful, and had gained a more mature charm compared to when I was in college.

But Shen Shi'an clearly remembered that back in college, Wang Jiaojiao was the one who bullied Su Yanxi the most!

Wang Jiaojiao, relying on her wealthy family background and her own beauty, was extremely arrogant and looked down on everyone. However, she didn't win any favor with Gu Yannian.

After learning that Gu Yannian liked Su Yanxi, Wang Jiaojiao hated Su Yanxi and bullied her several times with her friends.

Fortunately, Su Yanxi had excellent academic performance, and her teachers and counselors helped her, which allowed her to escape Wang Jiaojiao's bullying time and time again.

But later, after Gu Yannian started keeping Su Yanxi as his mistress, Wang Jiaojiao went completely insane.

The rumors were rampant at the time, and the counselor spoke with Su Yanxi several times. Perhaps seeing that Su Yanxi had tacitly admitted to being kept by Gu Yannian, the counselor was quite disappointed and became much colder towards Su Yanxi as a result.

Without the counselor's protection, Wang Jiaojiao bullied Su Yanxi even more. Even he had witnessed it several times. But Su Yanxi never told Gu Yannian about any of this; she endured it all silently.

If Gu Yannian was the first person Shen Shi'an disliked, then Wang Jiaojiao was the second.

So now, after hearing Wang Jiaojiao's suggestion to join forces, Shen Shi'an found it somewhat unbelievable.

"You just said you wanted to team up with me? Team up for what?"

"Senior, someone as smart as you, surely you understand what I mean?"

Wang Jiaojiao retorted with a question, looking confident and assured.

Shen Shi'an pursed his lips and did not answer.

Seeing this, Wang Jiaojiao chuckled: "If you, senior, are unwilling to speak, then I, as your junior, will speak for you. Senior, you should already know about Yan Nian and Su Yanxi's reunion, right?"

To be honest, I knew they had reunited, which is why I came back from abroad. I like Yan Nian, and that has never changed over the years. As for you, senior, I think your feelings for Su Yanxi are the same as mine.

However, you should also know very well, senior, that as long as those two are still together and entangled with each other, then the two of us will never have a chance.

A woman's best years are only a few, and I don't want to wait around forever. I want to marry Brother Yan Nian when I'm at my most beautiful. Of course, I need my senior's support for this idea.

In return, I'll find a way to help my senior get what he wants and win the heart of his sweetheart. How about it?

Wang Jiaojiao's frankness and honesty touched Shen Shi'an deeply.

He was able to get rid of Gu Yannian last night, but he wasn't sure if he could do it again next time.

But with Wang Jiaojiao's help, everything would be different.

Even if Su Yanxi and Gu Yannian have a deep affection for each other, no matter how deep the affection is, it cannot withstand repeated interference from outsiders.

Thinking of this, Shen Shi'an made a request: "I can agree to your proposal, but I also have one condition. After things are successful, you must leave with Gu Yannian. I don't care if you go abroad or to another place. In short, I want Gu Yannian to never appear in front of Xiaoxi again."

Wang Jiaojiao picked up her coffee cup and said sweetly, "Deal!"

……

Heavenly domain.

Su Yanxi opened the door and went in, expecting to see Gu Yannian inside, but the room was dark and there was no sound at all.

Is Gu Yannian not home?

Are you still at get off work?

Su Yanxi turned on the light and went inside. She looked around and saw a few dirty clothes lying on the sofa, so she went over and threw them into the washing machine.

As soon as Su Yanxi stepped in from the balcony, she saw Gu Yannian standing in the entryway.

Gu Yannian was carrying takeout, her expression somewhat strange, as if seeing Su Yanxi here was a very odd thing.

"You're back. Why are you so late getting off work today?"

For some reason, Su Yanxi also felt a little awkward. Originally, if she and Gu Yannian had just talked things out, their relationship could have officially changed. But because of Shen Shi'an's sudden return to the country, everything changed.

"Something came up and I was delayed."

Gu Yannian snapped out of her reverie, answered, changed her shoes, and walked in. She asked hesitantly, "Have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"Then I'll make you some noodles."

Gu Yannian placed her takeout on the dining table and was about to cook noodles for Su Yanxi.

Su Yanxi walked over and stopped at the kitchen doorway. Watching Gu Yannian's busy figure, she couldn't help but say, "Yannian, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Gu Yannian paused in washing the vegetables, then turned to look at Su Yanxi. After a long silence, she asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

“Yan Nian, I want to talk to you about my senior first. Yesterday, I didn’t know why he suddenly came back.” Su Yanxi thought for a moment and decided to explain Shen Shi’an’s situation first: “Actually, it was my senior who encouraged me to start my own business in the beginning.”

Over the years, he helped me secure investment, build connections, and find opportunities. It's fair to say that without him, I wouldn't be who I am today. Now that Changfeng Group is on track, my senior colleague has gone abroad to pursue his own projects. He's been abroad for a while now, and we haven't seen each other for some time.

I know that you and your senior didn't have a particularly good relationship in college. But I hope that, for my sake, you can treat him a little better.

Gu Yannian recalled Shen Shi'an's words from yesterday, and then, thinking back to his every move at the old house, she couldn't help but ask, "Yanxi, Shen Shi'an, he... he lives with you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Yanxi's phone rang. Seeing this, Gu Yannian had no choice but to swallow her question.

Su Yanxi took out her phone and saw that it was Shen Shi'an calling her, so she could only walk to the side to answer: "Senior."

"Xiaoxi, I've finished up here. Where are you? Have you gone home yet? If not, I'll come pick you up."

"I'm out right now, I have some things to take care of, but I'll go back on my own once I've taken care of them."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home. I brought you a dessert, your favorite red velvet cake."

"Okay, I understand. I'll be back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yanxi wanted to go back and continue the conversation with Gu Yannian, but Gu Yannian coldly dismissed her, saying, "If you have something to do, you can leave first. I'm tired, I'm going to wash up."

Without waiting for Su Yanxi's reply, Gu Yannian went back to her room.

Su Yanxi watched the door close, sighed, and turned to leave.

Gu Yannian, who was in the room, looked dejected when she heard Su Yanxi leave.
