I Heard That I am a HeartBreaker - Chapter 93

Gu Su felt a certain low atmospheric pressure emanating from her younger sister. She looked at her and decided to poke the tiger’s backside herself.

“Yo, isn’t this the second Miss Gu? Why do you look so out of sorts coming home today? Could it be that the little junior girl already has a ‘master of the house’?”

Gu Su smiled as she teased her, but after seeing Gu Lingxi’s rare silence, she pulled back her grin. Well, that conversation just blew up.

She hadn’t expected it—they were already on the second candidate, and it still wasn’t her sister’s turn.

Thinking this way, Gu Su felt she truly had a very advanced vision. See? She had said before that her sister definitely wouldn’t get her hands on the girl. However, as for whose hands the flower had actually fallen into, she was actually a bit curious.

“Is it convenient to reveal who the little junior is with? Hmm, let me guess. Someone from the Song family? Or perhaps the first love’s embers have been reignited? Hmm… it couldn’t possibly be that kid surnamed Qi, right?”

Among her sister’s competitors, there weren’t many that Gu Su actually thought highly of. To be honest, from an adult’s perspective, that whole group could only be described as each having their own set of problems.

At first glance, they all seemed fine, but upon closer inspection, they were all a bit of a disaster. Having to pick from among them was actually a bit of a torture, though compared to ordinary people, they could be considered dragons and phoenixes among men.

“Sigh, being with that group of yours is honestly like choosing between poop-flavored chocolate and chocolate-flavored poop. Either they’re unfaithful, have a dark history, are a bit twisted, or are into belittling others—there doesn’t seem to be a single good person among them.”

At this point, Gu Su paused. A person who could barely be considered “good” flashed through her mind; after all, according to her investigation, this person was quite diligent, working 365 days a year without rest.

“Please don’t tell me it’s that Xin Zhu. If it is, that would be truly terrible.”

Gu Su felt her judgment of character was quite good. This Xin Zhu liked to pursue beautiful girls, and then, after getting them, would break up with them just when they were at their most infatuated. This kind of retaliatory behavior actually made Gu Su look down on her.

Or rather, Gu Su felt this behavior was like someone in the marriage market who, because their own conditions were average and they couldn’t pursue better people, would work hard to dump emotional value on someone to trick them into a relationship, only to dump them later as a form of revenge.

Sometimes Gu Su could only lament how pitiful the girls who were caught were; after all, girls always fall in love with someone because that person treats them very well.

But in reality, “being good” is the most fundamental thing in love. You should find someone who is intrinsically good, not someone who is only good to you.

Thinking of this, Gu Su sighed. Among this group of suitors chasing the little junior, it seemed hard to find one who was intrinsically a good person.

After glancing at her sister a few times, Gu Lingxi sighed and finally told her the final choice.

When Gu Su heard the name, she truly let out a sigh.

“Being with this Xin Zhu… if you ask me, she’s no better than being with you; the two of you are six of one and half a dozen of the other. Oh well, but dating you, one can at least fish for some breakup fees or something. Dating her will truly only leave one covered in emotional scars…”

But at this point, Gu Su’s eyes suddenly lit up. She felt she had a stroke of genius. As the ancients said, when people are at their most wounded, they most crave the comfort of others.

Therefore, once this junior girl named Qiu Shuang is abandoned by the other party and is feeling miserable, her sister could take the opportunity to ascend the throne.

As for her sister “picking up the remains”? The thought didn’t even cross Gu Su’s mind.

Well, the way she put it made it sound like her sister was “brand new” herself.

“Hmph, you really are my ‘good’ sister. You only think of me when I’m at the back of the line. Can’t you put in some effort to let me be the winner?”

“Thank you, but these are objectively occurring facts. Your sister cannot change matter through consciousness. I am a staunch materialist, not an idealist. If I could really do that, the Gu family wouldn’t need to run a company; we’d go straight to the Ministry of Defense. As special forces, with one thought, I’d wipe out Country D.”

“And aren’t you being a bit picky? To be honest, if you’re talking about who is ‘clean,’ my dear sister, you are the filthiest one.”

Gu Lingxi fell into a rare silence because what her sister said was the truth.

“Anyway, this little junior you like is unlikely to have a good ending with Xin Zhu. Just you wait; when the little junior is heartbroken and devastated, you go in and ‘buy the dip,’ and maybe you can be with her then.”

Gu Su had never been in a serious relationship and truly didn’t understand the “it must be you” sentiment. But since her sister liked her, she could only grit her teeth and support her.

If she could pick her up, it would count as her sister being capable; if not, then so be it. Gu Su actually had no expectations for the longevity of this relationship.

After all, from her perspective, her sister used to be so fickle; it was impossible for her to suddenly change her ways for one woman now.

In Gu Su’s eyes, it was probably just because things had been too easy to get in the past, and now that someone unattainable had suddenly appeared—and with many suitors competing for her—it had simply piqued Gu Lingxi’s jealousy.

“Anyway, my personal suggestion is that you first figure out what love actually is. Qiu Shuang isn’t a sports car or some designer jewelry; she shouldn’t be fought over back and forth by you people. You should be together with her with a bit more respect. If you look at it that way, her choosing Xin Zhu seems about right.”

“The rest of you seem to view yourselves as so high and mighty. But in matters of the heart, whoever is doing the pursuing is the one playing the fool!”

Gu Su felt that what she said was perfectly correct. If you want to be with someone, you naturally have to put in a thousand times the effort; this point was simply beyond doubt.

After hearing her sister say this, Gu Lingxi’s brain rarely began to whirl. Hmm, right, people who are together can also break up.

Then why couldn’t she do that? What was wrong with being the “other woman”? They weren’t married!

“You have a point, Sister. I think my physical appearance is quite good. As long as I’m a bit more loyal and act like a ‘dog’ for my junior, I should probably be able to easily steal her away. Even if I can’t steal her, being the third party is no big deal.”

“Fine, fine, fine, you’re the authority. Whatever. Anyway, you’ve done plenty of shameless things already. If you ask me, a scheming girl like you encountering Qiu Shuang is just your karma. You’d better suffer for a few more days to repay the ‘souls’ of your exes.”

Gu Su really didn’t want to know about these kids’ affairs. Sigh, thinking of this, she thought about the upcoming competition and the trouble stirred up by the second branch of the family.

Sigh, she really had so many things to do. She truly had no mood to bicker with these kids over love and romance. At that thought, she remembered Tang Yulin.

She wondered when she would see that pretty little girl again. Thinking of this, Gu Su shook her head. Sigh, even as a “dominant CEO,” she still had to work diligently.

“Sigh, hurry up and graduate to give me some credit. Although human energy is limited, I believe you can work on two fronts—help manage the company while you pursue your love.”

While the situation with the second branch remained unknown, Song Ya was truly furious after returning home.

“Chen Wanjun, a useless thing. She didn’t even win despite having the ‘childhood first love’ buff. She actually let a nameless nobody get ahead of her.”

Song Ya was truly angry. What did Xin Zhu count for? Orphaned and penniless, what kind of good life could she give Shuangshuang? What use was the “love” she spoke of? Money was the most important thing in this world.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Wanjun only smiled and retorted to Song Ya.

“You’re pointing at me, but I’m pointing at you. Didn’t you consider yourself Shuangshuang’s most important friend? What happened? Your ‘most important friend’ got together with someone else and dropped you just like that?”

It was fine until the other person mentioned it; once she did, Song Ya’s expression turned very ugly. She remembered the things Lu Chen had said, and at that thought, Song Ya once again wondered if she had covered her tracks well enough.

“Shut up. If these things are discovered, do you think either of us will benefit? Hmph, I’m telling you, whether in their eyes or Shuangshuang’s, the two of us are in the same camp, one entity. If I don’t get anything good out of it, what could you possibly get?”

Chen Wanjun smiled. She lay in the empty room on her dormitory bed, looking up at the ceiling, her hand tightly stroking the quilt beneath her. She remembered that her Shuangshuang had once sat on this quilt; that bedsheet had been folded up and kept as a treasure.

Chen Wanjun knew this behavior was actually very obsessive, but she still couldn’t control her heart.

“Yes, neither of us will get anything good. So then, what should be done? I want to be a ‘dog’ for her, but she doesn’t even want me.”

Chen Wanjun knew that things were nearing an end with the other girl. The girl’s tolerance for her was nothing more than those past flickers of emotion and sentiment. Once that negligible bit of affection disappeared, there would be no relationship left between them.

“You will still be her good deskmate, her good best friend, while I will be forgotten forever, becoming a chapter of the past that cannot be spoken of and is loathed.”

Song Ya fell into a rare silence after hearing Chen Wanjun say that.

“This is what we deserve…”

Song Ya hung up the phone and lay on the bed, crying. If only time could be rewound, how great that would be. She definitely wouldn’t have treated Shuangshuang that way; she would have covered up all those unpleasant pasts.

She would have become someone better than she was now, but in life, there is never a “past” to return to or an “if.”

Father Song sensed that his daughter’s state of mind wasn’t right. He knocked on the door, but received only silence. In the past, she would have definitely thrown a fit, but now, she was just silent.

“Dad, how did you win Mom over? Can you tell me? I like someone, but I don’t have the courage to pursue them because we are just friends. I’m afraid we won’t even be able to be friends anymore.”

“Have you ever let her know about your feelings? If she doesn’t even know you like her, then what are those things you’re imagining? If you’re suffering yourself, you might as well be quicker about it. If you really like her, it’s not like you can’t just cling to her.”

Father Song didn’t think there was anything wrong with his words. In his eyes, love was simply like that: if you love someone, you have to put in action, money, and time—that’s how it should be.

If the other person doesn’t like you, you have to be prepared to “be a dog,” whether as a hopeless romantic or a spare tire, because you’re the one asking for it.

“Can I… still cling to her?”
