28: Garen goes for Infinity Edge at 28
Xu Siyi indeed hadn’t lied.
Li Shuru wasn’t rehearsing, but drinking coffee with someone.
“Calling you Shu Rui doesn’t bother you, does it?”
The person sitting across from Li Shuru wasn’t someone else, it was Ai Qian.
Though she had taken a few days off, it seemed she still hadn’t recovered from the heavy rain that weekend, looking somewhat haggard.
“Ai Senior, do you need something from me?”
Li Shuru’s expression remained neutral, as if she hadn’t seen anything that night.
Ai Qian didn’t beat around the bush.
After a moment of silence and a deep breath, she gazed directly at the junior who outshone the entire arts faculty.
“Then I’ll just speak frankly, I’m here for Jiang Chen.”
Li Shuru’s gaze flickered with a hint of surprise.
“I’m not familiar with Senior Jiang, if it’s about him, I’m afraid you’ve got the wrong person, Senior.”
“I haven’t got the wrong person.
Jiang Chen is pursuing you now, isn’t he?”
Li Shuru neither confirmed nor denied, letting the coffee in front of her cool down, “I don’t understand what you mean, Senior.”
“Shu Rui, there’s no one else here.
You’re smart, you should know what I’m talking about.”
“Sorry, I really don’t understand.”
Upon hearing this, Ai Qian frowned slightly.
Was the other party playing dumb, deliberately trying to crush her dignity completely?
But since she had decided to make this call, she was also prepared.
“I hope you can give Jiang Chen back to me.”
Li Shuru was startled, a distinct expression of surprise appeared on her cool and enchanting face.
Give Jiang Chen back to me.
These words sounded…
…like a rightful wife coming to claim her man.
However, the purpose of the other party truly was unexpected.
After a moment of shock, Li Shuru replied with a cold tone, no longer addressing him as Senior Jiang, “Senior, I have no relationship with Jiang Chen.
Talking about this with me seems somewhat inappropriate.”
“No relationship at all.”
Ai Qian laughed lightly.
“He likes you now, doesn’t he?”
“It’s irrelevant to me.”
Li Shuru was straightforward and decisive, also revealing her own attitude.
Seeing this, Ai Qian felt somewhat relieved.
“I know you wouldn’t be interested in him.
You’re outstanding, and you have many better options.
But I understand Jiang Chen, he’s a person who sticks to his principles.
Once he likes someone, he will treat her well, regardless of everything else, and he won’t change easily.”
Li Shuru detected some implications, and even though it was none of her business, she still couldn’t help but ask softly, “Did you and Liang Zhenlun break up?”
“Didn’t you see everything that day?”
Ai Qian didn’t answer directly, sadness welling up in her eyes as she said with self-mockery, “He never considered me as his girlfriend.
Even after getting together with me, he kept fooling around with others.”
Li Shuru took a sip of her coffee.
It seemed that the incident with V faction that night had indeed dealt a heavy blow to the girl, so much so that she had an epiphany and decided to give up on the bread to retake the love she had lost.
But is there such a thing as a pill for regret in this world?
“Senior, I think these words should be spoken to Jiang Chen, not me.
I can’t help you with this.”
“You can!”
Ai Qian’s tone suddenly rose, staring intently at Li Shuru.
“Only if you can make Jiang Chen give up, will he truly back down.
For you, Jiang Chen is completely dispensable, and his pursuit can only bother you.
Getting rid of him is a good thing for you too, isn’t it?”
Li Shuru remained silent.
Just now, she praised herself for being smart, but in fact, this senior was even more astoundingly clever.
She clearly knew that Jiang Chen was no longer as naive as before, that she could no longer manipulate him at will, and that’s why she had come to her.
“Senior, I’ve already rejected him, more than once.”
“It’s not enough.”
Ai Qian spoke urgently, “You must find a way to make him completely give up hope.”
Li Shuru furrowed her brows.
There was little acquaintance between the two of them, and the fact that she agreed to the meeting was already giving enough face, but the other party was aggressively pressing, as if giving her an order.
“What happens between you and Jiang Chen is your own business, and it has nothing to do with me.
I don’t want to get involved.
I have things to do, so I’m leaving.”
Li Shuru was not one to be pushed around.
She picked up her GUCCI bag and stood up, ready to leave.
“Li Shuru, you’ve gotten enough already.
So many boys like you, and you’re so successful at work.
Why can’t you let go of Jiang Chen?
Do you really like snatching things from others that much?!”
Ai Qian lost control of her emotions, staring daggers at her.
Li Shuru paused in her tracks, then laughed.
She didn’t argue with Ai Qian like a shrew.
“Senior, before you question others, you should first ask yourself.
I snatched your things?
Even if that were the case, weren’t they given to me by you yourself?”
It was truly a silent and critical hit.
Ai Qian’s face turned instantly ugly.
Li Shuru remained calm and composed.
“Senior, I want to ask you one more question, does Jiang Chen actually represent a reliable harbor in your eyes, or is he merely a temporary lodge for healing wounds?”
Without waiting for Ai Qian to respond, Li Shuru took out a hundred-yuan bill from her bag and placed it on the table.
“This meal is on me.”
Then she turned and left.
“Whew.”
Stepping out of the cafe invested in by a few students from the school, Li Shuru let out a sigh, shook her head, and chuckled.
It was really absurd.
She actually had a fight with a woman over a man who was irrelevant to her.
If this got out, she really couldn’t clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Jiang Chen.
It was truly bizarre.
How had this man started lingering in her life like a persistent spirit?
Li Shuru adjusted her mood and walked toward the academy.
Along the way, her phone rang with an unfamiliar number.
Hang up.
It rang again.
Hang up again.
It continued ringing.
“Hello!”
Finally, Li Shuru answered, her tone inevitably carrying a trace of icy annoyance.
Jiang Chen stood at the entrance of the art department, looking perplexedly at his phone.
Did this girl eat gunpowder or something?
“Who is it, speak.”
Li Shuru’s emotions were somewhat in check, but it was apparent from her tone that she was not in a good mood.
“It’s me, Jiang Chen.”
Jiang Chen forced a smile: “Shu Rui, where are you?
I just returned the umbrella to Si Yi, and she mentioned you weren’t at the academy…”
Upon hearing that name, Li Shuru immediately felt her scalp tingle and quickly interrupted: “How do you know my number?”
“You gave it to me.”
Jiang Chen was indeed an honest person, although he was a bit of a clingy admirer, he never used flowery words to deceive girls.
Lacking in charm, honest, not understanding romance—these were the main reasons Ai Qian broke up with him.
“Go find your Ai Qian, she needs you right now.”
Li Shuru naturally didn’t believe this explanation and assumed it must have been Si Yi who gave him her number.
After saying this, she immediately hung up the phone.
“Hello, hello…”
Jiang Chen was flabbergasted and tried calling again, only to find out that he had been blocked.
He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Whom had he offended now?
