A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

The engagement banquet three years ago.

On her 18th birthday, Luo Yunqi, with whom she had been betrothed since childhood, disappeared halfway through the ceremony. The engagement banquet was changed at the last minute, and Xu Shuli never saw Luo Yunqi again for the next three years. The relationship between the Luo family and the Xu family once dropped to zero.

"Ji Chen, are you crazy!"

Han Han and those around him couldn't help but get angry. What kind of person is this?!

Song Yuanyuan was even more frightened and let go of Ji Chen's hand, but Ji Chen was blinded by anger and did not react for a moment.

"Ji Chen." Xu Shuli's voice was very faint, as if it were covered with a thin mist that could be blown away at any moment. "The most foolish and regrettable thing I ever did was to let that engagement banquet continue, and I regret even more that I just randomly picked you to fill in the numbers."

Her gaze was gentle, yet it conveyed no affection whatsoever. "You make me feel that this world is too unbearable."

Ji Chen's heart trembled under her gaze. Realizing what he had just said, his mind instinctively wanted to step forward and pull her away, to explain, and to salvage his image.

The instigator, Luo Yunqi, greedily observed her every expression and gesture, afraid to approach her yet also afraid of the disgust in her eyes.

"Everyone's gone, everyone's gone, there's nothing to see here."

Chen Li just wanted to facepalm. He quickly called the security guard at the door to disperse the crowd of onlookers, and then hurriedly called his best friend who was playing games in the dormitory for help.

He can't suffer this hardship alone.

Come quick! Yao Yao is being bullied!

As soon as the message was sent, the few people who were still lying in bed playing games rushed out of the room. Xu Shuli had been bullied, how could they stand idly by?

Even if the students really wanted to watch the show, they had to consider Chen Li's feelings. Because of Chen Li's status, everyone around them was cleared away.

Only they remained.

Xu Shuli suppressed her emotions, and when she saw Luo Yunqi again, she didn't feel the anger she had imagined, but only a deep sense of resentment.

“Yaoyao…”

Luo Yunqi's eyes instantly reddened, and he wanted to reach out and touch her, unaware that she was always on guard against him.

"Young Master Luo, please have some self-respect."

It was like a hammer, crashing down hard on Luo Yunqi's heart, causing him excruciating pain.

Chen Li sighed inwardly, not daring to stand next to Luo Yunqi, and ran to Xu Shuli's side. "Yaoyao, are you alright? Let's go back to practice first. When I came in just now, the driver was practically staring at me until he was bald."

Then, he frantically winked at Han Han, who immediately took Xu Shuli's hand and said, "Yaoyao, let's go back. Let's get out of this hellhole first."

“Yaoyao…”

Luo Yunqi tried to struggle, but Chen Li quickly bound his hands. "Old Luo, I advise you to be quiet now. Yao Yao was just tricked by Ji Chen and is still angry. If you step in now, you'll only create more trouble. You better watch yourself."

Xu Shuli didn't even give him a second glance, as if he were a complete stranger. As Han Han and Luo Yunqi passed by him, he smelled her familiar scent again, the same scent he had smelled three years ago.

She has never changed.

Luo Yunqi's dark gaze deepened inch by inch, and the 'yaoyao' that he had been holding back in his throat was slowly uttered after she left.

“Yaoyao…”

"Stop 'babying' now, where were you all this time?"

Ji Chen was furious. Seeing that Xu Shuli ignored Luo Yunqi, his smugness swelled up, and he couldn't help but sneer, "Luo Yunqi, young master of the Luo family, so what if you're doing well? The person you like no longer likes you. She's become my fiancée, for three years..."

The cracking sound of the fist grew louder and louder, and Chen Li felt that this person was simply asking for a beating.

"Luo Yunqi, I suddenly don't want to break off the engagement anymore. I want you to watch as the person you love becomes my bed partner."

All reason vanished the moment Ji Chen uttered those words.

Luo Yunqi broke free from Chen Li's grasp and swung his fists, each punch landing squarely.

"Damn, I really can't stand this."

Chen Li pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Song Yuanyuan, standing beside him, was already terrified, frozen in place. Ji Chen, who had been punched, had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "Mad..."

He cursed under his breath, and the two of them started fighting.

When Luo Yunqi was young, he was a reckless troublemaker who feared nothing. If it weren't for Xu Shuli keeping an eye on him, he would probably have been even more outrageous.

At this moment, his face was filled with extreme ferocity. He punched Ji Chen hard in the face, and then he used his knee to press against Ji Chen's stomach, looking as if he had lost his mind, with extremely heavy force.

There was a loud "bang".

Ji Chen had no chance to fight back and was beaten to the ground. Song Yuanyuan was terrified and afraid that something might really happen to Ji Chen, so she didn't dare to stop Luo Yunqi and could only go to Chen Li for help.

"Young Master Chen...please, tell him to stop hitting him. If this continues, Ji Chen will die."

Chen Li frowned slightly. Ji Chen's appearance was indeed not good. He was a pampered young master and a carefully cultivated heir from childhood. He was not good enough.

"Old Luo, that's enough, or someone might really die."

“Then it’s over. Ji Chen’s life is not worth as much as my sister’s reputation.”

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Li felt a headache coming on.

Young Master Xu, why is Xu Qiluo, this ancestor of mine, here?

Xu Qi had his schoolbag slung over one shoulder, and his white shirt bore the badge of the student council president. The Xu family was known for their good looks.

Xu Qiluo had grown up, with broad shoulders, long legs, and a tall and slender figure. His expression was indifferent, his facial features were sharp and distinct, and he always had a smile that didn't reach his eyes. He looked gentle and humble, but was difficult to approach.

Gu Baisheng and Lin Ran followed slowly behind him. All the young masters of the five great families had gathered. Chen Li let go of his hands; fine, he didn't care anymore.

Luo Yunqi withdrew his strength, and Ji Chen's chest ached from the blow. His left hand was completely immobile. Song Yuanyuan was both frightened and had a hint of covetousness in her eyes.

"Chess Lost, what brings you here!"

Chen Li couldn't stop Luo Yunqi at all. Xu Qiluo's gaze fell from Ji Chen, who was lying on the ground, to Luo Yunqi, and their eyes met.

Luo Yunqi almost stopped breathing.

Xu Qiluo and Xu Shuli look so alike, except that Xu Qiluo's features are more handsome and dashing. "Young Master Luo, it really has been a long time. It's been three years since we last met. I didn't expect you to still remember the way home."

That was so weird and sarcastic.

Chen Li's lips twitched. He couldn't possibly take on this job; taking it would offend the other side. Lin Ran and Gu Baisheng were also keeping their eyes down, while the fighting on the playground was caused by Luo Yunqi and Xu Qiluo.

Ji Chen on the ground was completely ignored; the pain in his chest and limbs was even more unbearable.

"The game is over, please help me..."

Ji Chen had no choice but to bite the bullet and beg Xu Qiluo for help. The people here wouldn't help him; he had been beaten black and blue, and there was even blood coming from the corner of his mouth.

"Help you? Based on what you just said, even if I cripple your lower body right now, it would be too lenient."

Chen Li, Lin Ran, and Gu Baisheng felt a chill run down their spines and nervously swallowed. How come this kid is becoming more and more of a sister-obsessed person?

Sympathetic glances fell on Luo Yunqi. They genuinely wished him good luck, but there was nothing they could do to help him with this.
