Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 322 - 148: The Lively Girls’ Dormitory, Zhong Tingyue’s Suspicion_4

Chapter 322: Chapter 148: The Lively Girls’ Dormitory, Zhong Tingyue’s Suspicion_4

Xu Tingrou didn’t respond. After a moment, she looked at Ding Shanshan, her expression hesitant.

"Shanshan, should we actually tell Tingyue and Weixi the truth, or should we wait for them to find out for themselves?"

Ding Shanshan frowned. "What do you mean, Tingrou? Why wouldn’t we tell Tingyue? Are we supposed to just let that jerk Li Yuan keep two-timing them?"

Xu Tingrou shook her head, her mind on a different problem. "Shanshan, if we’re the ones to tell Tingyue and she breaks up with Li Yuan because of it, do you think she might blame us later?"

"Blame us for what?" Ding Shanshan frowned. "It’s everyone’s duty to stay away from a scumbag."

Xu Tingrou looked helpless. Ding Shanshan was the type of girl who always spoke her mind. Although her grades weren’t bad, she was completely naive when it came to matters of the heart.

Of the six girls in their dorm, only Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi had ever been in a relationship.

I have a gut feeling about this, Xu Tingrou thought. If I tell them the truth, it’ll be fine if they both decide to walk away from Li Yuan. But if one of them stays with him, the one who left first might secretly regret it. Even if she never says it out loud, she’ll probably resent us, at least a little bit.

Li Yuan was without a doubt a scumbag, but he was also genuinely generous with Tingyue and Weixi. He probably spent every penny of his author royalties on his two roommates.

If they broke up, the sports cars, the gifts... it would all disappear.

I’d probably be upset for a while too, if it were me.

"Shanshan, think about it more carefully," Xu Tingrou urged. "I really think we should reconsider. It’s better to let Tingyue and Weixi find out on their own. If they have some time to get used to the idea of Li Yuan two-timing them, they’ll be better able to accept it. It will prevent them from doing something irrational out of sheer shock."

She continued, "If we bring it up right now... Tingyue just spent the entire night with Li Yuan and came back today driving a new sports car. Do you really think nothing happened between them?"

Ding Shanshan shook her head. "Impossible."

Zhong Tingyue and Li Yuan had met at the start of the semester and had already gone out together at night several times. Last night, they were out all night. A man and a woman, alone in a room... it was like setting a match to dry tinder. Of course, it would ignite.

If he wasn’t getting something out of it, why would Li Yuan be foolish enough to spend over a million on a Porsche for Zhong Tingyue? It’s a no-brainer. Considering Li Yuan’s personal qualities and his incredible generosity, I can’t imagine any girl who wouldn’t fall for him. If it were me, I’d fall for him easily, too, Ding Shanshan thought.

Xu Tingrou continued, "Exactly. So if we tell Tingyue now, wouldn’t the blow be too much for her to handle? If something terrible happens because of it, how could we face her?"

Ding Shanshan wasn’t stupid; on the contrary, she was quite clever. She immediately understood the implications of Xu Tingrou’s words. Their strategy was basically to stall and avoid being the bad guys by not telling Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi directly.

After a moment, she nodded, convinced. "Tingrou, you’re right. Let’s not be the ones to break the news. Tingyue and Weixi aren’t idiots; they can figure it out themselves. The second Tingyue looks at Weixi’s social media feed, she’ll see the problem."

As she said this, Ding Shanshan suddenly found the situation absurdly funny. Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi were not only roommates but also good friends who had comforted each other over their relationship problems. Neither could have ever imagined that they had unknowingly become the "other woman" in each other’s relationship.

It was all that bastard Li Yuan’s fault.

"Let’s go back to the dorm and see Tingyue."

When they returned, they found Zhong Tingyue beaming as she looked at her phone.

"Tingyue, what are you smiling about? You look so happy."

Ding Shanshan walked over and glanced at Zhong Tingyue’s phone. It was filled with pictures of her and Li Yuan, a mix of couple shots and various selfies.

Zhong Tingyue didn’t try to hide it, smiling sweetly. "Shanshan, Tingrou, you’re back!"

"Yeah," Ding Shanshan teased. "Hey, Tingyue, we just saw a gorgeous Porsche sports car downstairs. Any guesses whose it is?"

Zhong Tingyue nodded shyly. "I’m guessing it belongs to a certain girl named Zhong Tingyue," she replied with a happy little hum. "So? Are you surprised? Shocked?"

Ding Shanshan and Xu Tingrou exchanged a look. Even though they already knew, hearing Zhong Tingyue confirm it herself still left them stunned and deeply envious. That was a Porsche worth millions—a lifelong dream. No, it was something they wouldn’t even dare to dream about.

"We’re not surprised at all," Ding Shanshan said, hiding a smirk.

Zhong Tingyue was baffled. She drove a Porsche back to the dorm, and her roommates weren’t surprised at all? "You’re really not surprised?"

"If Weixi didn’t have one too, we’d definitely be surprised," Ding Shanshan muttered under her breath.

Zhong Tingyue looked confused, not having heard her clearly.

"We heard people talking about it downstairs," Xu Tingrou explained with a smile. "Tingyue, I guarantee if you check the school forums right now, there will be threads all about you and your car."

Zhong Tingyue smiled. She had already sensed the stares while driving on the road, and the feeling of being watched and envied had only intensified when she drove onto campus. When it comes to being flashy and attracting attention, nothing beats a sports car. It’s every girl’s dream.

"Tingyue, did Li Yuan buy this sports car for you?" Ding Shanshan asked curiously.

"Mhm," she nodded, her face glowing with happiness. "He just bought it this afternoon. I told him a BMW or a Mercedes would be fine, but he insisted on getting a Porsche."

"Tsk, tsk. Listen to you, making BMWs and Mercedes sound so ordinary," Ding Shanshan teased, though she was incredibly envious. If any guy at school offered to buy her a BMW, she’d immediately agree to be his girlfriend.

Remembering the price of Bai Weixi’s BMW Z4, Xu Tingrou asked, "Tingyue, how much did this Porsche end up costing?"

"With all fees included, about 1.83 million," Zhong Tingyue answered with a smile. Even saying the number herself, she still found it unbelievable. That was 1,830,000 yuan. She had never seen that much money in her entire life. Even her scumbag father probably didn’t have that much cash.

Ding Shanshan was floored. "My God! Spending 1.83 million on a car! If that were me, I would’ve bought a big house for myself. I could just lie back and coast for the rest of my life!"

A strange look appeared in Xu Tingrou’s pretty eyes. So, it seems Li Yuan likes Tingyue more. The car he gave her is much more expensive than Weixi’s. But wait... I think Weixi has a house. I wonder if Tingyue does?

"Tingyue, has Li Yuan bought a house in Modu?" Xu Tingrou asked.

"He has," Zhong Tingyue replied with a smiling nod. She and Li Yuan had spent a wonderful night in that very house yesterday.

At the thought, her cheeks flushed slightly. My first time last night... it was painful, but also joyful. I’ll never forget it...

Xu Tingrou teased, probing with a hint of deeper meaning, "Tingyue, I’m so envious. You have a house and a car. You two should just get married right after graduation."

Zhong Tingyue blushed. Her pretty eyes twinkled as an idea sparked in her mind. I should take Li Yuan to meet my mother. She would be thrilled to know I found such an excellent boyfriend.

"Tingyue, is the Porsche comfortable to drive?" Ding Shanshan asked.

Seeing the eager and curious looks on her two good roommates’ faces, Zhong Tingyue smiled and made a suggestion. "Tingrou, Shanshan, it’s still early. Want to go for a spin?"

Ding Shanshan and Xu Tingrou’s eyes lit up, and they nodded enthusiastically. Neither of them had ever been in a sports car before.

"Definitely!" Ding Shanshan exclaimed. "A Porsche 911! This will be my first time. But wait, it’s a two-seater. How can all three of us go?"

"Tingyue, you can take Shanshan for a spin first," Xu Tingrou said with a smile.
