My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 156: Does Miss Lu Know?

"Who would laugh at you at a time like this?" the girl from the next dorm said. "That would be truly heartless. Even if anyone were to laugh, it would be at Lu Youbang. If anyone talks behind your back or mocks you, I’ll definitely have a word with them if I encounter them."

"Yeah, aren’t we going on vacation soon?" another girl added. "You could use the holiday to go traveling and change up your mood."

Huang Mengyao nodded with reddened eyes, "Thank you guys."

"It’s nothing, what’s there to thank us for?" the girl laughed. "Don’t bother with that person outside, binge some dramas or variety shows to relax."

"If there’s anything you need help with, just ask us," another girl offered. "By the way, if you want to know whether he’s still there or not, we can check for you. If you look down from your dorm and he sees you, he’ll think you still have feelings for him."

"Okay." Huang Mengyao nodded.

Having been comforted by them, Huang Mengyao indeed felt much better.

Her roommate was right, even if people laughed at her, it wasn’t her fault.

Most of her classmates understood her.

Huang Mengyao acted as if Lu Youbang didn’t exist, blacklisted his number on her phone, then took out her laptop and found a comedy series to watch.

Lu Youbang waited downstairs for a long time but couldn’t even see Huang Mengyao’s face from the balcony.

Then, Lu Youbang tried calling Huang Mengyao again, but there was no sound from the phone at all.

He knew, he had been blacklisted by Huang Mengyao.

But Lu Youbang didn’t give up, planning to look for Huang Mengyao again during class tomorrow.

Lu Youbang and Huang Mengyao were in the same grade and major, just not in the same class.

The next day, Lu Youbang went to the entrance of Huang Mengyao’s class.

"Classmate, please call Huang Mengyao for me," Lu Youbang said outside the door.

"Sorry, Mengyao isn’t seeing anyone," the girl sitting by the door said indifferently.

"How do you know she’s not seeing anyone if you haven’t even told her?" Lu Youbang retorted, frustrated. "Besides, this is between the two of us; it’s not your business to interfere."

"Huang Mengyao already broke up with you; what’s left to talk about between the two of you?" another girl chimed in. "You’re shameless! You lied and cheated Huang Mengyao, and you still have the face to come looking for her?"

"I said, this is between the two of us; why are you others poking your noses into it?" Lu Youbang stood in the doorway, his gaze shifting past the crowd in the classroom to land on Huang Mengyao. "Mengyao, talk to me, or I’ll stay right here and won’t leave."

"Are you not being a hooligan?" another girl in the class said angrily, seeing Lu Youbang behaving like this.

Huang Mengyao, feeling helpless, had to stand up.

Her deskmate quickly tugged at her, "Mengyao, you don’t have to go out if you don’t want to. Let this scoundrel wait if he wants to. It would be better if he ends up waiting for the teacher."

"I’ll go and make things clear with him," Huang Mengyao said. "Thank you all for helping me, but I can’t let him disrupt the normal order of our class."

"Mengyao, if you need us, just call," a boy said.

Lu Youbang frowned. What did that mean?

Was he actually afraid that Lu Youbang would resort to violence?

Then, a girl sarcastically remarked, "Yeah, his dad even hurt his own niece; who knows what he might do."

Lu Youbang really wanted to grab that girl by the collar and make her say it again.

If she dared repeat it, he would smash her mouth.

But he couldn’t. Right now, he had no choice but to restrain himself.

His fists were clenched tightly as he tried his best to control his temper.

"Thank you, everyone," Huang Mengyao walked out of the classroom and closed the door behind her.

The hallway was empty when Lu Youbang called out, "Mengyao, we..."

"If you keep bothering me, consider your future," Huang Mengyao coldly interjected.

"What do you mean?" Lu Youbang asked, baffled.

"You know what my dad does," Huang Mengyao said. "I also know you want to take the civil service exam. But now that your dad is in jail, I’m afraid you won’t be able to go down that path. However, if you want to work in any field related to it in the future, whether it’s the government, state-owned enterprises, or companies within certain industries where my dad has a say, I guarantee you won’t be able to find work."

"Of course, I won’t go to extremes. If we break up cleanly and go our separate ways, I won’t meddle in your future or trip you up. But if you keep pestering, sickening, or deceiving me, then whichever path you want to take, I’ll block it for you, you understand?"

Lu Youbang’s face flushed with anger. He had never imagined that his pursuit of Huang Mengyao had initially been because he had his eye on her father’s influence.

Now, that very connection threatened his career path.

"Mengyao, can you be so ruthless? After all, we’ve loved each other once," Lu Youbang said with a pained expression.

"Thinking about you deceiving me, treating me like a fool, I even doubt if you ever truly liked me," Huang Mengyao spoke through clenched teeth. "Even if you did, being liked by someone like you, a hypocrite, only makes me feel disgusted! Lu Youbang, can we not end things amicably?"

"Fine, I won’t bother you," Lu Youbang said, still not giving up. "I just can’t let go of you. I truly like you and want to win your forgiveness, to explain my side to you."

Seeing Huang Mengyao looking impatient, Lu Youbang said, "Forget it if you don’t want to listen."

After speaking, Lu Youbang left with his head bowed as if he had suffered a great blow.

Huang Mengyao watched Lu Youbang’s retreating figure for a while, then pursed her lips and returned to the classroom.

Zhou Shuyan left work in the evening with the luggage he had packed that morning.

Zhang Tianhai waited at the office entrance, and when he saw Zhou Shuyan carrying a suitcase out, he hurriedly helped put it in the trunk.

Once seated in the car, Zhang Tianhai asked, "CEO, are we heading to the airport?"

Zhang Tianhai was still puzzled. He hadn’t heard from Yu Zeqin about Zhou Shuyan taking a business trip that day.

"No, we’re going to Lu Youxi’s place," Zhou Shuyan replied.

"All right," Zhang Tianhai answered, but then he suddenly caught on, inhaling sharply, "CEO, are you moving in?"

Zhou Shuyan glanced at him before Zhang Tianhai added, "Does Miss Lu know?"

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

"Drive!" Zhou Shuyan urged.

"Yes," Zhang Tianhai drove on, trying to figure out what exactly Zhou Shuyan meant.

Zhou Shuyan didn’t dare let Zhang Tianhai drive into the residential area, asking him to park across the street from the complex.

Zhou Shuyan carefully made sure there were no Lu family members around before sneaking out of the car and quickly pulling his suitcase into the complex.

Liu Yushu was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Lu Youxi was getting off from classes today for the vacation and was coming home for dinner, so Liu Yushu wanted to prepare a good meal for Lu Youxi.
