Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Chapter 648 - 228 In this world, there is nothing that money can’t do_2

But for the past two months, the tactics that had always worked in his pursuit of other girls proved ineffective with Chu Yanyan.

At this moment, Yin Sheng, overcome with anger, could no longer be bothered about being in the school canteen and tore off all pretense.

"Chu Yanyan, don’t be so shameless. It’s your honor that I’ve even taken an interest in you," he snapped.

Hearing Yin Sheng’s shameless words, Chu Yanyan trembled with rage. Her face turned livid, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She was just a college student from out of town who wanted to study in peace, not get into a relationship. Was that so wrong?

This was the second time Li Yuan had encountered such a situation. The first was at Ji University, when he was threatened by Jiang Zhiyu’s suitor, Qin Hao.

In both of his lives, he detested people who used their background to bully others more than anything.

So, Li Yuan abruptly stood up. His gaze was icy as he glared at Yin Sheng and shouted, "Is your mouth full of shit? Why do your words sound so foul? Or do you think the law is just a piece of paper that you can trample on whenever you please? So if a woman you’re interested in doesn’t want to be your girlfriend, she’s being ungrateful?"

Yin Sheng flinched under Li Yuan’s angry glare. Li Yuan was taller than him and had a muscular, powerful-looking build.

By now, the argument had already attracted the attention of some of the other students.

Yin Sheng cast a cold glance at Li Yuan and Chu Yanyan and spat a threat, "Heh, we’ll see about this. You’ll regret it."

With that, he turned to leave.

"Wait. Take your flowers," Li Yuan said, grabbing the roses from the table and tossing them at him.

Yin Sheng caught the roses without a second glance and threw them directly into a trash can.

...

Watching Yin Sheng’s departing figure, Chu Yanyan’s face filled with worry and anxiety, fearing he would retaliate.

"Li Yuan, Zhijin, I’m a bit concerned," she said.

Li Yuan smiled and shook his phone. "Yanyan, don’t worry. I just recorded everything. If he’s smart, he won’t dare to harass you again."

Hearing that Li Yuan had recorded the incident, Chu Yanyan looked at him in utter amazement. "Li Yuan, how did you even think to record it?"

Xia Zhijin also looked curious; she hadn’t realized Li Yuan was recording, either.

"Because I studied law," Li Yuan said with a smile.

This was a skill forced upon me in my past life. Sometimes, a recording is the most effective and simplest way to solve a problem. Of course, what happened today isn’t over just like that. In a way, if Xia Zhijin hadn’t suggested visiting Chu Yanyan today, the tragedy from my previous life might have repeated itself before long. This campus beauty, this senior, would very likely have been hounded by Yin Sheng to the point of jumping from a building to her death. I’m certain now. Chu Yanyan’s suicide in my past life couldn’t have been over a failed romance. It’s far more likely that he forced himself on her... It’s no exaggeration to call Yin Sheng a murderer. A beast like that, the scum of society, needs to be sent to hell to repent... Of course, I don’t need to tell Chu Yanyan and Xia Zhijin about my plans for revenge. These dark thoughts would only add to their worries.

Worried that Chu Yanyan might do something drastic if she encountered another emergency after they left Tech University, Li Yuan thought for a moment before offering an indirect reminder.

"Yanyan, no matter what happens, never despair. You still have Zhijin and me here in Modu. If you run into any trouble, you can call either of us."

Chu Yanyan looked deeply at Li Yuan, her heart pounding and cheeks flushing. She smiled and nodded. "Okay, I will."

"Thank you, Li Yuan!"

"We’re like family, Yanyan. Don’t be so formal," Li Yuan said with a smile. "By the way, Yanyan, could you tell us more about what’s been going on?"

Chu Yanyan hesitated for a moment but then slowly began to recount the whole story.

"It started at the end of August. Our class organized an extracurricular activity, and that’s when I met Yin Sheng. He started pursuing me right after.

"At first, he seemed polite, well-spoken, and very generous, so I actually had a pretty good impression of him. I’d never been in a relationship before, so I was thinking of giving it a shot to get to know him better...

"But then, I accidentally saw him with another girl and realized he already had a girlfriend, so I rejected him. He immediately dumped that girl and kept pestering me, but of course, I said no...

"Then he revealed that he’s the son of Professor Yin Jie from our School of Electronic Information. He said that if I became his girlfriend, he could get me a guaranteed spot for joining the Party. He also said that after graduation, I could directly study under Professor Yin for my master’s degree, and after that, I could even get a job here at Tech University...

"Later, a classmate told me that Yin Sheng is a total playboy. He’s been dating since middle school and has had at least a dozen girlfriends. Once he gets a girl, he plays around for a while and then dumps her for someone new. I even heard that he got some of them pregnant, and they had to have multiple abortions...

"That’s why I’ve consistently rejected him. But he just won’t stop pestering me and even uses his father, Professor Yin Jie, to pressure me. I was afraid he’d make things difficult for me and that I wouldn’t be able to graduate, so I’ve just been stalling."

As Chu Yanyan finished her story, Li Yuan shot a guilty glance at Xia Zhijin. He saw that she was completely focused on Chu Yanyan, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
