Chapter 51 I like her
Shi Yuan recounted his story with great anguish, focusing primarily on accusations against the scumbag woman, aside from stating the facts.
Yes, Shi Yuan didn't mention her name, instead referring to her as a "scumbag woman," which clearly shows his deep hatred.
Zhu Tingyue never expected that Shi Yuan, who seemed so carefree and unrestrained, had suffered such deep hurt; it was unbelievable.
In short, this is a gender-swapped version of a playboy who treats people like playboys. The person in question, Shi Yuan, fell in love with a rich heiress. The heiress kept saying she loved him, but in less than two months, she dumped him for a reason that made him angry: she didn't love him anymore!
"Tell me, isn't she a scumbag?"
After saying this with an indignant expression, Shi Yuan turned his gaze urgently to Zhu Tingyue beside him, as if he desperately wanted to get a positive answer to confirm his inner thoughts.
Zhu Tingyue, however, hesitated on this question.
According to her understanding, relationships are inherently full of variables and uncertainties.
The law doesn't explicitly state how long a relationship should last to be considered appropriate. Two years or two months, it's all possible.
However, at this moment, Shi Yuan was staring intently at her with eyes so sincere they seemed to blaze with fire, making it impossible for Zhu Tingyue to utter any words that contradicted his expectations.
So she could only nod awkwardly and say against her will, "Hmm... I guess so."
Little did anyone know that Zhu Tingyue's ambiguous answer instantly ignited Shi Yuan's anger.
He slammed his foot on the gas pedal, and the car sped off like a runaway horse. At the same time, he roared at Zhu Tingyue, "What do you mean 'seems a little bit'? She's clearly a complete scumbag! The kind of woman who seduces and then abandons others, who casually plays with other people's feelings, is utterly despicable!"
Startled by Shi Yuan's sudden outburst of emotion, Zhu Tingyue hurriedly grabbed the handrail, her body leaning backward sharply due to inertia.
At this moment, she no longer cared about what Shi Yuan was yelling; she only had one thought in her mind—to steady herself and avoid getting hurt.
At this moment, she finally understood the feelings that Shen Yanqiu, who was sitting in the passenger seat when she was driving, had repeatedly told her to drive slower.
Zhu Tingyue's entire attention was focused on the road ahead, and she had no time to pay attention to Shi Yuan, who was still venting his dissatisfaction in a fit of rage.
Unable to gain her approval, Shi Yuan felt a mix of grief and indignation. When he looked at Zhu Tingyue, his eyes were like ice, ready to freeze her to death at any moment.
The voice also contained a hint of anger: "You won't feel the pain until the needle pricks you, you'll never truly understand. I hope you meet a scumbag woman like that!"
Does his tragic experience have anything to do with me? Why am I being attacked personally?
"Thank you for your blessing, but shouldn't we be careful? You're going too fast, and look, there are traffic police ahead!" Zhu Tingyue reminded her anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan reflexively released the accelerator, and the car's speed instantly decreased, quickly returning to normal.
Seeing this, Zhu Tingyue couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
She originally thought that someone like Shi Yuan, who seemed unrestrained and carefree, wouldn't take traffic rules too seriously.
Surprisingly, he was so afraid of being caught speeding by the traffic police. It seems he really is a law-abiding citizen!
Zhu Tingyue thought to herself: Maybe I really didn't know him well enough before.
Don't be fooled by Shi Yuan's usual dashing and carefree demeanor, which makes him seem indifferent to everything.
But in reality, beneath that seemingly unruly exterior, there may be an incredibly pure and kind heart (which is also what he himself said).
What's even more surprising is that, despite his casual and unconventional behavior, he strictly adheres to all rules and regulations. Such a person is truly difficult to understand at first glance!
As the car gradually slowed down, Shi Yuan finally snapped out of his resentment towards that scumbag woman.
However, when he looked at Zhu Tingyue again, a hint of hostility still lingered in his eyes.
"What are you looking at? Are you secretly laughing at me? Laugh now, your day will come too!"
"Calm down, brother. So much time has passed, why are you still holding onto this? Could it be... that you still like her?"
Zhu Tingyue completely ignored his terrible mood and instead continued to add fuel to the fire with unusual excitement.
"Who would like that woman? Even if I'm destined to live a lonely life, I will never look at her again!"
Shi Yuan seemed to have been hit by a landmine, and he exploded instantly. Even the voice he shouted sounded hoarse and broken because of his anger.
"Okay, okay, I misspoke, big brother, please don't be angry. You don't like her, alright? I'm the one who likes her!"
Seeing Shi Yuan's fury, Zhu Tingyue quickly apologized, thinking: This big shot is really not to be offended. Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best policy. If I can't afford to offend him, can't I at least avoid him?
However, to Zhu Tingyue's utter surprise, her apology not only failed to quell Shi Yuan's anger, but instead made him even more furious.
Shi Yuan's once fair face was now flushed red, and his eyes were fixed fiercely on Zhu Tingyue. He squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, one word at a time: "Listen to me, you are not allowed to like her either!"
Hearing this, Zhu Tingyue was both amused and exasperated, thinking to herself: "You won't allow this, you won't allow that, so whatever I do is wrong?"
However, on the surface, she dared not show the slightest disobedience and quickly nodded in agreement: "Fine, if you don't want her to like it, then she doesn't like it. Let her be lonely and helpless for the rest of her life!"
She thought that going along with Shi Yuan's words would calm him down, but to her surprise, Shi Yuan's anger flared up even more upon hearing this.
His eyes widened, and he angrily pointed at Zhu Tingyue, shouting, "Shut up! You're not allowed to curse her! And you're not allowed to say a single bad word about her!"
Well, Zhu Tingyue was completely speechless. It turned out that whatever she said was wrong, and she was just a superfluous presence here.
Seeing Shi Yuan's ashen face, Zhu Tingyue could only cautiously force a smile and say, "Okay, okay, please calm down. I won't mention her again. She's the best; no one can compare to her!"
Shi Yuan slammed his right hand on the steering wheel and glared at Zhu Tingyue, leaving her confused. Then she heard him say, "Whether she's doing well or not is none of your business. My relationship with Jiang... her affairs are none of your concern."
Indeed, there's no need for me to waste my breath; it's best to just remain silent! Zhu Tingyue felt utterly helpless.
Shi Yuan seems like a very optimistic and cheerful person, so why is he so agitated when talking about his ex? Was he really hurt too deeply?
Did he just say "Jiang" or "Jiang"? It can't be such a coincidence, can it? Zhu Tingyue wanted to ask again, but she was afraid he would get agitated again. Anyway, whoever it was, they would meet again if they were destined to.
