Chapter 447 - 448: Just a Little Brat Who Knows How to Dote, Get Jealous and Be Difficult
She never expected that the dean’s son turned out to be especially abusive.
She spent a rough couple of years abroad. She could only escape after the dean’s son finally grew bored of her.
Unable to endure the abroad any longer, she returned home.
But she never spoke of this to Hu Manke, merely mentioning that she had broken up with the dean’s son.
Upon returning, she started building a reputation in the domestic architecture industry, boasting a combination of beauty and talent.
It was only after mingling with higher circles did she realize her old flame, Di Mingjue, was the third son of the prestigious Di Family of the capital.
Regret gnawed at her insides, but without a means of reaching Di Mingjue, she had no choice but to bury her feelings. She never expected to run into him here.
He was not the same boy from years ago. He had matured, his features had sharpened, becoming even more handsome, stable, but also colder.
She thought he would help her for old times’ sake. Joy surged within her when she saw him, only to be doused in cold reality — he was married!
And now she saw Gu Qibao at his side, lavished with luxury brands, with her bag alone equating to half a year’s salary of hers.
How could she not be jealous?
Hu Manke nudged the dazed Shen Yilan, she said enviously, "Senior Mingjue was our campus heartthrob, and now he is an icon in the architecture industry. Many professors couldn’t even obtain his architectural papers. He isn’t in this field anymore. He is Forbes’ annual number one mogul. You were so close with him back then, all the girls in our school thought you would end up together."
Shen Yilan’s frown deepened, jealousy and regret stirred within her.
What could be more regretful than something you took for granted becoming an invaluable treasure, and yet you have no connection to it anymore?
"Have you ever thought about getting Senior Mingjue back?" Hu Manke suddenly asked.
"He’s a married man now. We can’t just spout nonsense." responded Shen Yilan, but her eyes flickered with a cunning light.
"So what if he has a wife?" Hu Manke pouted, "She is just a recent high school graduate. I bet she knows nothing and is a total ignoramus. At the most, she is a spoiled child who knows how to be jealous and throw tantrums. Men grow bored of women like these. The possibility of spending the rest of his life with her is low, especially when it comes to outstanding men like Senior Mingjue. I believe you, a talented woman, would suit him better."
Shen Yilan remained silent. Hu Manke continued, "Isn’t the worldwide Rubik’s cube competition, that happens once every five years, about to begin? The last time, wasn’t it you and Senior Mingjue who won the championship together? You can invite him to team up again."
Shen Yilan’s eyes twinkled. During that Rubik’s cube competition, the school sent two students to participate, which were her and Di Mingjue.
At that time, they were freshmen and that event was when she had her first interaction with Di Mingjue. But they didn’t talk much. Di Mingjue was always cold and his words were harsh and insulting.
She used to dislike Di Mingjue at that time.
After becoming champions, they were crowned as the golden boy and jade girl of the campus, garnishing a lot of attention.
Later, she realized Di Mingjue hardly talked to anyone in the college. Out of curiosity, she tried to engage him in a conversation and unexpectedly, he actually responded.
