In addition, Jiang Yu’s birthday was just around the corner, so Wang Chenyu urged her to throw a birthday party and invite all her friends.
This way, she could receive a lot of gifts and sell them for cash. She could also take the opportunity to reveal that she needed to borrow money for some cash flow problems.
Jiang Yu was originally unwilling.
She had always disliked parties and crowded events.
In the past, she would spend her birthday with a few of her closest friends and would never throw a party with so many guests.
As for things like receiving gifts and borrowing money like Wang Chenyu asked her to, she felt embarrassed just at the thought of it.
Hence, when Wang Chenyu brought it up, she almost refused without thinking.
However, she could not resist Wang Chenyu’s sweet talk. He said that hosting a birthday party was to train her interpersonal skills, and that borrowing money was to invite friends to invest.
It was obviously a very embarrassing thing, but he made it sound so dignified. It was as if they were not asking for help, but being kind enough to take her friends along to make money and achieve financial independence.
After his brainwashing, Jiang Yu really agreed with these ridiculous words.
That resulted in the birthday party today.
Jiang Yu changed her usual style and invited everyone she could get.
She didn’t even know many of the guests and couldn’t even remember their names. They were just acquaintances, but she still sent invitations to them.
As a result, more than a hundred people attended today’s party.
This was also one of the reasons that Yu Jinmo felt uncomfortable previously.
Yu Jinmo was relatively more introverted She didn’t like to be crowded and noisy places, and only liked going to small gatherings with her friends.
She originally thought that this year’s birthday party would be the same as the previous years, with only her group of friends hanging out together.
However, when she arrived at the place, she realized that there was a large crowd of strangers that she had never seen before.
In addition to that, Wang Chenyu had asked her for her number, so Yu Jinmo couldn’t stay any longer. She left early with her other good friend, Qingqing.
Jiang Yu said that after Yu Jinmo left, she realized that Wang Chenyu was actually cheating on her, hooking up with other girls, and behaving ambiguously.
Moreover, Wang Chenyu’s target was not just one person. As long as it was someone beautiful or someone from a wealthy family, he would take the initiative to approach them and try his best to get their contact information.
It was obviously Jiang Yu’s birthday party, but it was treated by Wang Chenyu as his hunting ground.
How could Jiang Yu tolerate such humiliation?
She lost her rationality and started to make a big fuss, asking Wang Chenyu why he did that.
Wang Chenyu blamed her instead, accusing her of being too controlling and restricting his social interactions.
He also said that he was almost suffocated by her and couldn’t bear this kind of life anymore, so he wanted to break up with her.
He was clearly the one who was wrong, but in the end, he acted as if he was the victim.
Jiang Yu had never been treated like this. She burst into tears, smashed things with all her might, punched Wang Chenyu with her fists, and scolded him for being a jerk.
Wang Chenyu just let her hit him and scold him. He didn’t reply or hit her back.
When she got tired, she broke up with him and left without looking back.
He also left with the most beautiful girl from the richest family at the party today.
The girl chased after him and kept comforting Wang Chenyu not to be too sad.
Jiang Yu heard everything she said.
Some of the other friends who were present tried to comfort Jiang Yu, but most of them left in silence.
Jiang Yu did not know when those friends who had stayed behind to comfort her had left.
She only felt extremely cold.
It was as if a chill seeped out from the cracks of her bones, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.
She had already understood the true purpose of Wang Chenyu’s urging her to hold a birthday party.
Borrowing money was just out of convenience. He was looking for the next target to seduce. At the same time, he wanted to openly break up with her in front of everyone so that he could look like the victim. That was Wang Chenyu’s true purpose.
Jiang Yu recalled that when she first met Wang Chenyu, it happened to be during the “painful period” of his breakup.
Wang Chenyu said that his previous relationship had been a failure. His ex-girlfriend was unruly and unreasonable.
Out of love, he silently tolerated it for a long time. In the end, he could not tolerate it anymore and had to break up with her.
He also said that he was very hurt and did not want to fall in love anymore.
At that time, Jiang Yu only felt heartache after hearing those words. She felt that Wang Chenyu’s ex-girlfriend had a bad temper and did not know how to cherish him. She felt that his ex had hurt a good man badly.
That kind of heartache eventually became a catalyst for love. She could not help but develop the thought of loving Wang Chenyu well and giving him “true happiness”.
Now, she had become a terrible ex-girlfriend in the eyes of others. Only then did she realize how wrong she had been.
If she had not been completely hurt, which girl would be willing to become hysterical?
It was laughable that she could not differentiate between good and bad. She mistook the scum as a victim and did not even know that she had been schemed against and used.
Jiang Yu did not need to guess to know that the girl who had left with Wang Chenyu would definitely become the next her.
She would be trapped in the same experience as herself. She would be schemed against, deceived, and used.
After that, she would completely lose her value and be kicked away.
Then, just like her current self, that girl would be treated as a hysterical lunatic by everyone.
At that time, there would naturally be another innocent and kind girl who would repeat the same experience.
Other than themselves, no one knew what had really happened.
Jiang Yu lay in Yu Jinmo’s arms and cried while revealing everything.
She cried so hard that she was heartbroken and felt as if her heart was about to be ripped apart.
“How could someone be so vile!?! I really don’t understand how someone could be so horrid!”
“Mo Mo, don’t you think his conscience hurts?”
“Mo Mo, do you think he ever liked me for even a second?”
“What exactly am I in his heart…”
Every word was worrisome.
Other than hugging Jiang Yu and patting her on the back to comfort her, Yu Jinmo had no idea what else she could do.
Yu Jinmo could not answer any of Jiang Yu’s questions.
In fact, Yu Jinmo was just as shocked as Jiang Yu.
She was like Jiang Yu, a flower that grew up in a sheltered environment like a greenhouse. She had been pampered by her family since she was young. She never imagined that human nature could be so dark and despicable.
Now that it had happened all of a sudden, the shock in her heart could not be described with words. It was not an exaggeration to say that her worldview had been overturned.
Jiang Yu still had not stopped crying.
“Before the party, he was clearly gentle and nice to me. But when I said that I could not lend him any money, he just…”
“Could it be that everything he did was for the sake of money? Did he not even have a trace of affection for me?”
