Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

Lu Hao ignored Fang Ruoyun's words and rushed out of the lounge.

He arrived at the banquet hall, but the guests had already left, and the waiters were cleaning up the mess.

Lu Hao staggered through the hall, his head spinning from the alcohol and anger.

Just as he was about to rush to the door, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Qin Shou walked in.

Qin Shou was taken aback when he saw his appearance, then frowned and asked, "Why did you come out?"

At that moment, Lu Hao only had one thing on his mind and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He reached out and tried to push the person away.

But Qin Shou grabbed his arm with considerable force, causing Lu Hao to stop in his tracks.

He slowly turned his head, his scarlet eyes fixed on Qin Shou: "What do you mean?"

"Go back," Qin Shou's voice was calm, even carrying a hint of admonition, "have a good talk with Fang Ruoyun. Her status can ensure you live a life of comfort for the rest of your days."

Lu Hao stared incredulously at his so-called brother, a dry laugh escaping his throat, his voice trembling: "You...do you know something too?"

"What could I possibly know?" Qin Shou released his grip, shook his head slightly, and his face held a calmness that Lu Hao couldn't decipher. "Your company is just starting out. If you had the Fang family's help, your future achievements would be beyond my reach. I just... hope you're doing well."

"Hehe..." Lu Hao staggered back two steps, as if looking at a stranger.

He shook his head helplessly. "Tell me, where are Xiao Xiyue and Su Yu?"

"Xiao Xiyue?" Qin Shou's brows furrowed instantly, his tone filled with surprise and doubt. "How do you know her?"

"I'm asking you where they are!" Lu Hao roared with all his might.

Qin Shou was stunned by his appearance.

He couldn't understand how Lu Hao had gotten involved with Xiao Xiyue, but now was clearly not the time to ask.

"They've already gone down; the car is parked on the second basement level."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Hao had already turned around and was running wildly toward the elevator like a madman.

"Here!" Qin Shou tossed a bottle of water over from behind. "Calm down, don't act impulsively."

Lu Hao turned around and caught it, unscrewed the cap, tilted his head back and gulped down several mouthfuls. The cold liquid slid down his throat, but it did nothing to quell the heat in his heart.

He poured the remaining half-bottle of water straight down over his head.

The icy water streamed down his face through his hair, leaving him disheveled but also much more sober.

He casually tossed the empty bottle into a nearby trash can.

With a "ding," the elevator doors opened.

Ignoring his soaking wet and disheveled appearance, Lu Hao stepped inside.

……

Yunjiang Hotel, basement level 2 parking lot.

Lu Hao stumbled out of the elevator and was met with a vast, empty space where echoes could be heard, with rows of luxury cars parked quietly.

He looked around, but apart from the security cameras, he couldn't see a single person.

"Xiao Xiyue! Su Yu!"

His roar echoed through the parking lot, sounding utterly weak and feeble.

"Stop yelling."

A clear, melodious voice rang out from behind the load-bearing pillar in the corner.

Lu Hao turned his head and saw Su Yu emerge from the shadows.

Her face remained expressionless as she walked step by step to Lu Hao, looking at him with a complex expression: "What do you want to ask?"

Lu Hao rushed over and grabbed her arm. "Where's Xiao Xiyue?"

She's gone.

Lu Hao turned around and was about to run towards the elevator.

She said she would meet you at the place you agreed upon.

Lu Hao suddenly stopped and turned to look at Su Yu, asking in confusion, "The agreed-upon place?"

"Hmm," Su Yu said in a flat tone, as if she were talking about someone else, "She already mentioned it when she was toasting just now."

She paused, then added, "She said, 'You know.'"

Lu Hao frowned, recalling what Xiao Xiyue had said when he was toasting earlier.

"This water doesn't have a fishy smell."

He was wondering why Xiao Xiyue would say such a thing, but it turned out to be an agreement.

But he couldn't figure out what those words meant, the location and time, or where they were.

Lu Hao leaned weakly against the pillar, looking like a deflated balloon, completely listless.

Su Yu walked up to him, took out a tissue from her bag, and reached out to wipe his wet hair and cheeks, her voice so soft it was as if she were talking to herself: "We all saw it just now in the lounge..."

"So what do you think?" Lu Hao glanced at her, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Are you very disappointed? And are you planning to turn around and go find your Gu Yunfeng?"

Upon hearing the name "Gu Yunfeng," Su Yu paused slightly in her wiping motion, but her gaze remained fixed on Lu Hao as she said, word by word, "There's nothing between him and me."

"Hehe..." Lu Hao shook his head and chuckled, his laughter full of sarcasm. "Not to mention that he was at school, just the fact that he spent three years abroad with you, if there's nothing to it, only a fool would believe it."

Su Yu didn't answer the question. She simply threw away the soaked tissue, took out a dry one, and continued to wipe him.

"Snapped!"

Lu Hao slapped her hand away, his pent-up emotions finally exploding. He glared at her angrily and roared, "Why did you come back? Why! Wasn't it better to live a good life with him abroad? He's so handsome, so rich... and so good at taking care of people..."

With each word he spoke, his voice grew softer, and his hysterical anger eventually turned into a powerless murmur.

"Because he is not you." Su Yu's answer was simple, yet as firm as iron.

"What's so good about me? I'm just a rotten person now, a beast rotten to the core!"

As Lu Hao spoke, he slowly slid down the pillar and slumped to the ground, muttering to himself, "I'm just a rotten person... I only think about getting by day by day... Why did you come back... And why did you let me meet Xiao Xiyue..."

Seeing Lu Hao slumped on the ground like a stray dog, Su Yu's eyes instantly reddened.

She slowly squatted down, finally sitting down on the ground next to him, stubbornly picking up a tissue and continuing to wipe the water from his face.

Su Yu's tone remained calm, yet it carried a hint of obsession. "The Lu Hao I know is a man with a light in his eyes. He is full of longing for a better future, not someone who just drowns his sorrows in bars and lives a life of mediocrity."

"That's all because of you!" Lu Hao looked up.

"That's why I came back." Su Yu looked directly at him.

"Is this your form of charity?"

Seeing Lu Hao's expression full of humiliation and anger, Su Yu's red eyes were brimming with tears, but she forced them back.

"This isn't charity," she sniffed, raising her chin slightly like a proud and stubborn swan, "I just want to turn you back into the person you were before. At the same time, I'm fulfilling my promise. Although you didn't wait for me for three years, during those three years, I constantly fantasized about our future..."

"Ha..." Lu Hao shook his head, leaning against the wall to stand up. "You're with another man, fantasizing about our future? How ironic."

Su Yu's eyes instantly darkened, flashing with deep disappointment and pain.

She stood up as well, meeting Lu Hao's gaze, her tone growing increasingly resolute: "Lu Hao, not everyone is like you. I, Su Yu, will only ever love one person in my life."

After saying that, she gave Lu Hao no chance to respond and turned to walk towards the white BMW next to her.

She opened the car door, paused for a moment, and turned back to give Lu Hao a deep look.

"I know you won't believe it now, but time will tell. I will let you know that in this world, I, Su Yu, am the one who loves you the most."

The car door closed, the engine started, and the white BMW disappeared into the parking lot.

In the empty parking lot, only Lu Hao's self-deprecating laughter could be heard.

Of course he wouldn't believe it, otherwise he wouldn't have lived like this for the past three years...
