Fortunately, Lu Jiayu left just in time. Otherwise, if he had run into Shen Yiqiu, he would have definitely been mocked.
“Xiao Yu, did you two really break up?”
The two sisters sat facing each other.
On the table was the breakfast Shen Yiqiu had brought.
She hadn’t intended to bring up Lu Jiayu at this moment, afraid it would ruin Sang Yu’s appetite.
But seeing Sang Yu calmly drinking soy milk without a change in expression, she couldn’t help but ask about it.
Even though she knew Sang Yu wouldn’t joke about something like this, she still found it hard to believe.
“Yeah, we broke up.”
Sang Yu replied casually, her emotions completely unruffled.
“Can I ask why?”
Sang Yu had no intention of covering for Lu Jiayu.
Since he had the audacity to do it, she had no problem saying it out loud.
“He developed feelings for someone on set. How could I stand in the way of him finding true love?”
Shen Yiqiu was so shocked she almost dropped the cup in her hand. “You mean Lu Jiayu and Ye Fei!”
With all the gossip about them lately, Shen Yiqiu couldn’t think of anyone else.
“Yeah, it’s Ye Fei.”
Hurriedly putting the cup down, Shen Yiqiu said uncertainly, “Xiao Yu, maybe you’re overthinking it. How could Lu Jiayu possibly fall for someone else?”
“There are so many unscrupulous media outlets these days. They can make baseless rumors sound as real as anything. And maybe it’s Ye Fei playing tricks, trying to drive a wedge between you.”
Women understand women best. Shen Yiqiu knew exactly what the look in Ye Fei’s eyes toward Lu Jiayu meant.
She gritted her teeth in frustration. Lu Jiayu’s single persona was a cancer.
Even if Ye Fei knowingly became the other woman, she could still use this as an excuse to whitewash herself!
How infuriating.
Does having a partner mean you can’t be an actor anymore?
What kind of logic is that!
“Why don’t you hear what Lu Jiayu has to say? I still can’t believe he would cheat.”
Shen Yiqiu had witnessed their relationship firsthand. Although she often criticized Lu Jiayu, she couldn’t believe he would change his heart.
And she didn’t dare believe it.
How could two people who were once so good together break up over something so absurd?
Even if they grew tired of each other, they should have parted amicably.
Sang Yu shook her head. “There’s no misunderstanding. Lu Jiayu admitted it himself.”
“Are they together now?”
“Not yet.”
But distance makes the heart grow fonder. If she didn’t let them be together, the two of them would only long for each other even more.
Shen Yiqiu opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.
After a long pause, she asked Sang Yu suspiciously, “Did you find out a long time ago? Otherwise, how are you so calm?”
When a normal person finds out their boyfriend has emotionally cheated, shouldn’t they be heartbroken and angry?
Maybe even hysterical.
How could her friend still have an appetite?
Sang Yu calmly finished the last bite of her breakfast. “I just found out too. Better a short pain than a long one.”
Only by cutting off the tail can you be reborn.
Shen Yiqiu asked her, “Do you need me to comfort you now? Go shopping with you or watch a movie? I happen to have these two days off. I’m at your service 24/7.”
Sang Yu raised an eyebrow. “What do you think?”
“I don’t think you need it.”
Shen Yiqiu shook her head frantically.
But in her heart, she thought Lu Jiayu had truly crossed Sang Yu’s bottom line this time.
Otherwise, given Sang Yu’s fiercely protective nature, as long as Lu Jiayu behaved properly, no matter how much other women provoked her, Sang Yu would have found a way to make them suffer in silence.
But if Lu Jiayu insisted on chasing after trash outside, Sang Yu wouldn’t stop him either.
And she would even beat him out with a stick.
She loved rationally and couldn’t bring herself to cling desperately.
“So what are you planning to do next?”
“First, change apartments.”
Sang Yu looked around. When this apartment was being decorated, Lu Jiayu had offered her quite a few suggestions.
Although it was her private space, there were still many traces of Lu Jiayu left behind.
Shen Yiqiu also agreed with Sang Yu selling the apartment. “It’s still a bit far from the school. Back then, you only chose this place because the security measures here were much better than other neighborhoods in the same price range.”
Lu Jiayu knew this too and had been deeply moved by it at the time.
He bought Sang Yu a 600,000-yuan Audi.
Sang Yu pursed her lips and silently picked up her phone to transfer 600,000 yuan to Lu Jiayu’s card.
Buying a new car would be too much trouble.
This way, they could be considered even.
Shen Yiqiu wasn’t at all surprised to see her transfer the money to Lu Jiayu.
Sang Yu came from a well-off family. Although her parents didn’t earn high salaries, her father was exceptionally talented and had published several bestselling novels.
Two of them were even adapted into films and TV shows.
The reception was very good.
Those in the industry would understand just how much money that could bring in.
When she turned eighteen, her father gave her two million yuan, which she could use to start a business or for living expenses.
It was entirely up to her.
Later, after Sang Yu completed her master’s degree, she became a math teacher at a private elite high school, earning a five-figure salary every month.
Six hundred thousand yuan wasn’t a huge sum for her.
Giving it away now didn’t feel painful at all—instead, she felt a sense of relief.
“Qiuqiu, come with me to look at apartments?”
“So soon?”
“Yes, very soon.”
Sang Yu couldn’t wait to start her new life.
