Endless Fall

Let’s Break Up

“It’s your place to judge me.” Lin Jiao put down her teacup.

She walked to his side and sneered, “You came all the way here to humiliate me for that couple, but will they thank you for doing so and will that make her fall in love with you?”

He Qi wiped the sticky tea off his face and stood up, wanting to grab her collar.

“Do you think that I don’t hit…”

Before he could say the word ‘woman’, Lin Jiao grabbed his forearm and with a push, he fell to the ground.

The entire process happened so fast that He Qi could not even react.

“Wow!” Song Zhen arrived in time to see Lin Jiao pushing He Qi to the ground.

He looked at He Qi, who was lying on the ground in a strange posture and said, “Bro, are your shoes too slippery?”

He Qi was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.

He got back on his feet with Song Zhen’s help. As soon as he stood up, he grabbed the glass, wanting to smash it on Lin Jiao.

“He Qi, what are you doing?” Song Zhen quickly snatched the glass and reminded him in a low voice, “There are people watching.”

“Who the f*ck cares?” He Qi, who had lost his mind, couldn’t care less. “I won’t let this bi*ch off today.”

“You?” Lin Jiao mocked him disdainfully. “I advise you to go home and learn some combat skills.”

“You f*cking…”

“You like hitting women? Let me see what you got.” A middle-aged man on the next table put down his chopsticks and slapped the table.

As soon as he spoke, the other customers echoed, “Dude, you really embarrass us men. Go home.”

“We’re all adults. Violence won’t solve the problem. Don’t you understand something as simple as that?”

“That’s right. This girl’s leg is still injured.”

Many people looked at him reproachfully. Not to mention He Qi, even Song Zhen was embarrassed.

He handed the car key to He Qi. “Go out and wait. I want to talk to Sister Jiao.”

“Fine.” He Qi agreed.

He glared at Lin Jiao and trotted away as quickly as possible.

The way he left the scene was quite comical.

Lin Jiao thanked the people around her and sat back down. “What do you want to say?”

When facing Gu Quan’s good friends again, Lin Jiao wasn’t as friendly as before. There was even a trace of frustration and impatience.

Song Zhen could understand.

After all, Gu Quan was indeed in the wrong.

He had no reason to make things difficult for her like He Qi did. “Brother Quan asked me to come over and tell you that he can’t come.”

“Why? Because of Su Tian?”

“You know everything?”

“Shouldn’t I know?” Lin Jiao pulled out a tissue and wiped her right hand. “Do you think I’m a clown?”

“Of course, no.”

“Then what did you take me for over the past two years? A plaything or a replacement?”

For a moment, Song Zhen felt that she had changed.

She had changed from a fragile lily to a thorny rose. To be honest, he quite liked her change.

“Sister Jiao.” He said seriously, “No matter what others think about you, I’ve always treated you as a friend.”

“Then why did you hold back from telling me the truth?” Lin Jiao looked up. “Not even a single word of reminder.”

Song Zhen didn’t know what to say.

He knew very well that nothing was enough to stop her from loving Gu Quan because she was too love-struck, so why bother

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know it would end up like this.” He apologized sincerely. At least, he looked sincere.

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“No.”

Lin Jiao threw away the crumpled tissue.

She placed two hundred yuan on the table and stood up expressionlessly. She faced the glaring sun and disappeared from his vision.

When she returned to Lufu Bay, she was still a little lost.

Now that she was told that the love she thought was real was actually fake, Lin Jiao felt humiliated and her dignity trampled.

This villa filled with countless memories had become a cage that she wanted to escape from. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

Lin Jiao took a deep breath and walked along the stone path towards the steps, each step extremely heavy.

She glanced at the elegantly decorated living room and suppressed the sadness in her eyes. She returned to the bedroom as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, there was not much memory related to Gu Quan here, so she could remain calm when packing.

She did not take away the photos of the two of them or the clothes he liked. She vowed to leave behind all the memories of the past two years.

“Brother Quan, Sister Jiao already knew about it.”

Gu Quan was silent for a long time when he received the call.

He stood in front of the French window and looked down at the bustling scenery below. There was a frown on his handsome face, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

“Brother Quan?” Song Zhen thought he didn’t hear him and repeated, “What do you plan to do?”

“I’ll make it clear to her.”

“As soon as possible, then.”

“Yes.” Gu Quan unbuttoned his shirt and turned to look at Su Tian, who was still folding clothes with her head lowered.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, Su Tian paused and said shyly, “Why are you staring at me?”

“I was afraid that you would disappear into the thin air.” In her third year of high school, her leaving without saying goodbye had always been something Gu Quan couldn’t get over with.

He had dreamed of meeting her again many times, but when she stood in front of him, he felt that it was unreal.

Su Tian was stunned. “I won’t disappear again.” She hugged his waist happily and looked up at him. “Back then, I made a wrong choice.”

“It’s not your fault.” Gu Quan took a deep breath, his eyes filled with undiluted love. “We still have a lot of time.”

Su Tian smiled in satisfaction.

She retreated from his arms and asked considerately, “Was that call just now from the company?”

“Yes, something came up.”

“Then go deal with it. We’ll go out when I’m done unpacking here.”

Gu Quan nodded and turned to go to the study.

He called Lin Jiao and asked in a muffled voice, “Where are you?”

“Why?”

“Are you free tomorrow? I want—”

Hearing his muffled voice, Lin Jiao knew that he was still with Su Tian.

She suppressed the anger and disgust that were surging in her heart and said in a strangely calm voice, “Gu Quan, let’s break up.”

Gu Quan’s eyes widened slightly as he asked, “What did you say?”

When he left Bo Yu Club, he had thought of ending this relationship. At that time, he was still hesitant, but after seeing Su Tian, he was determined to put an end to the relationship with Lin Jiao.

However, he did not expect her to bring it up first in such a calm and indifferent manner.

“Let’s break up and not have anything to do with each other ever again,” Lin Jiao repeated with determination.
