Chapter 119: Not Hanging Out With Him

Gao Qiao nodded in satisfaction when Xiang Jingtian admitted his mistake. Of course, he understood that Xiang Jingtian was worried about the relationship between Huo Buyu and the Xiang family, but… Ye Yao was the person he should really be afraid of! If he angered his own family, he would at most be without any money. If he angered Huo Buyu, he would at most suffer physically. However, if he provoked Ye Yao, it would be absolute mental torture! And he could very well be struck with all sorts of problems at any point of time! Xiang Jingtian was too young and didn’t understand how terrifying Ye Yao was!
Of course, at this moment, Xiang Jingtian did not realize that his erectile dysfunction had something to do with Ye Yao.
At this point, the surrounding students almost dropped their jaws! Xiang Jingtian had been so confident just then. Why did he seem so terrified following Gao Qiao’s arrival? Previously, there had been rumors that Ye Yao’s backer was Gao Qiao. From the looks of it, it was true! No wonder Huo Buyu turned up at the dance club today! Other than Gao Qiao, who else could invite Huo Buyu? If it weren’t for Gao Qiao, would Huo Buyu have punished Qin Jiao so severely?
It seemed that Ye Yao’s backer was really Gao Qiao. What was their relationship?
Seeing that Xiang Jingtian had apologized, Ye Yao did not pursue the matter. She stood up and glanced at him. “Xiang Jingtian, act like a decent human being!” Stop being such a scumbag, that sort of behavior is really ugly!
Xiang Jingtian felt a lump in his throat. During this period of time, he had really done many shameful things because of what had happened with his ex-girlfriend. He had also started to isolate himself. From the moment his ex-girlfriend left, he felt that the entire world had darkened. He couldn’t understand why, after all the vows they had exchanged and what they had been through together, the relationship failed to withstand the test of money in the end. One month… just one more month. If she had persisted for another month, he would have been able to give her everything she wanted, but… perhaps the world was like this, always imperfect.
The conflict today made Xiang Jingtian suddenly understand that it was meaningless for him to do this. There was no way to change the past, but he was stuck in his memories. It would only cause him to suffer increasingly. He was a man, a mature man. He should look to the future.
He stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Yao. “I’m sorry for causing you trouble. If you want to hit me to vent your anger, I definitely won’t retaliate.”
Ye Yao only sneered. She would not hit Xiang Jingtian. After all, she had nothing to do with him. What right did she have to hit him?
Ye Yao picked up her bag to leave. Just as Gao Qiao was about to follow, she turned around and smiled at him, then nodded once in the direction of Xiang Jingtian. “Don’t hang out with him in the future.”
Gao Qiao instantly stood at attention. “Roger!”
Then, Ye Yao left.
After Ye Yao left, Gao Qiao patted Xiang Jingtian’s shoulder helplessly. “It’s good that you’ve wised-up today. Otherwise…” There was no way to resolve this matter. After all, he had provoked Ye Yao! Ye Yao, who could make Xiang Jingtian suffer by just uttering a few words!
Xiang Jingtian lowered his head. “I know I made a mistake…”
Gao Qiao’s expression was full of pity. “Jingtian, you’ll understand in the future, that it’s just a matter of time before you and your ex-girlfriend went separate ways. Some things are good to have, but they don’t last forever. Besides, it might not be a bad thing that she left you when she did. The sooner you see a person for what she is, the sooner you can grow up.”
Tears welled up in the corners of Xiang Jingtian’s eyes. The Xiang family nurtured their children to be indomitable and independent. When he was with his ex-girlfriend, he would hold several part time jobs to afford gifts for her. When he worked, she would be nearby doing her homework. After he got off work, the two of them would make their way home hand-in-hand. However, the good times of the past no longer existed.
Xiang Jingtian seemed to have grown up in an instant. He nodded at Gao Qiao. “I understand.” He wanted to be more open-minded. The past was the past. He had to work hard for the future. As for love, it was something that he didn’t wish to think about for the time being.
Xiang Jingtian suddenly looked up at Gao Qiao and asked, “By the way, Ye Yao asked you not to hang out with me. Are you going to take that seriously?” “That’s right!” Gao Qiao slapped his own head. “The lady boss wants me to stop hanging out with you. Please do me a favor. In the future, when Ye Yao is around, just act like you don’t know me. I thank you in advance!” With that, Gao Qiao slipped away!
Seeing how Gao Qiao had slipped away so nonchalantly, Xiang Jingtian felt both angry and helpless.. Ye Yao was only Huo Buyu’s girlfriend, not Gao Qiao’s mother! Why did he have to do whatever she said?
