C29 Someone Who's Good at Acting

Following Miss Custodian's footsteps, the two of them arrived at a private chamber called Tianyu House. There was already a person waiting inside. The table was set with food.

"Ruyan, no wonder you disappeared this morning. You went on a date with your boyfriend!"

Lu Xiaoyue quickly walked to Liu Ruyan's side. She smiled and asked her, "Ruyan, where's your boyfriend then? Is he not around?"

"No. I went to class in the morning."

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's pretty face turned red. She added, "Zheng Yun has some matters to attend to, so he's out for a while. He didn't know I asked you to come."

It had been a long time since she last saw Zheng Yun. Liu Ruyan was happy and nervous at the same time when she heard the news about Zheng Yun. She did not know what to do. After all, they had been together for so long. She really couldn't get over him. When she heard the news about him, she simply couldn't hold back her feelings.

"Ruyan, to be honest, that Zheng Yun really isn't good enough for you. Let's go home."

Seeing that Zheng Yun was not around, Lu Xiaoyue said in a low voice, "Ruyan, you are aware of it too. When he did not have the money to go overseas, it was you who helped him. But after he went abroad, he never wrote back or contacted you, not even once. Zheng Yun doesn't have any feelings for you at all. Otherwise, how could he not contact you in the past three years? Why didn't he call you?"

Liu Ruyan's eyes dimmed and she lightly bit her lower lip. "Maybe he was just so busy abroad that he did not have time to call me. Besides, long-distance calls are very expensive."

"Ruyan, you don't need to lie to yourself, okay?"

Lu Xiaoyue looked at Liu Ruyan somewhat helplessly and said with disappointment, "I'm guessing he came back this time because he did not have any money. Otherwise he would have long forgot about you. Earlier, you sent him living expenses every month. You haven't given him any money for more than half a year now. So now he came back? Why? The way I see it, this can't be a coincidence."

Liu Ruyan shook her head and said, "I don't know, Yue. You are still too young to understand love and relationships. Who is this person?"

At this moment, Liu Ruyan shifted her gaze to Tang Yu.

Looking at Liu Ruyan, Tang Yu felt admiration in his heart. Lu Xiaoyue wasn't lying; Liu Ruyan was indeed very beautiful.

The woman looked around 26 or 27 years old. Her jet black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her long and slender willowy eyebrows were set on her oval face, complementing her beautiful eyes as clear as spring.

However, on her delicate and pretty face was a touch of sorrow that could not be wiped away. It ruined her beauty a little.

"My name is Tang Yu. You must know about me." Tang Yu smiled and said. "Thank you, Liu, for being so considerate. You've prepared so many things for me in the house."

"So it's you."

Liu Ruyan also smiled gently and said, "Don't mention it. We are all roommates. We should help each other. It is just that there was not enough time, so I did not put out a blanket for you."

"Liu, you don't have to worry about that. I've went out to buy the blanket today. And I even bought you a set," Tang Yu said with a smile.

Just as they were talking, the door suddenly opened. A man in a white suit walked into the room with two tall foreigners.

"Two beautiful women here. You're lucky," the bearded foreigner said in crappy Mandarin. He brazenly sized up Liu Ruyan and Lu Xiaoyue's chests, his eyes filled with desire.

"Zheng Yun, who are they?" Liu Ruyan frowned slightly and stood up. She looked at Zheng Yun.

"So you are his girlfriend. If that's the case, things will be easier."

The foreigner grinned hideously. "He owes us fifty thousand yuan at our casino. He can't afford it now. As his girlfriend, you should help him pay the money back, right?"

"What?"

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan looked at Zheng Yun in disbelief. "Zheng Yun, weren't you studying abroad? How did you end up owing a casino so much money?"

Feeling Liu Ruyan's disappointed gaze on him, Zheng Yun immediately ran to her. He hugged her leg and cried bitterly, "Ruyan, everything I did was for you!"

"For me?" Liu Ruyan looked at Zheng Yun. Her heart was not steady. She said coldly, "For me? You have not contacted me in the past three years. For me? You brought these people here and are asking me to pay the debt for you. Who do you think I am?"

Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip, feeling miserable.

"It's not like what you think. Ruyan, listen to me! I should have come back a year ago, but in order to buy you a gift, I planned to stay a bit longer. I was thrifty and couldn't bear to call you. I just wanted to buy you a diamond ring and propose to you."

Zheng Yun continued,"But earning money like this was too slow. I only saved a few thousand dollars in half a year. I didn't have the courage to call you. So I went to the casino... I wasn't myself at that time, really! After all, Ruyan, everything I did was for you!"

Seeing Zheng Yun crying in front of her, Liu Ruyan softened. No wonder Zheng Yun hadn't called her for so long. It turned out that he wanted to give her a surprise, but accidentally walked on the wrong path!

"Ruyan, don't believe this guy's words! Don't let him fool you!"

Lu Xiaoyue coldly snorted and cut in, "Go ahead and tell more lies. Ruyan paid for your two years of expenses overseas. Now you are penniless and you even cheated Ruyan to come here to repay your debt. What kind of a man are you?"

Liu Ruyan was soft-hearted, but she, Lu Xiaoyue, was not. She saw the situation much clearer than Liu Ruyan. She could tell how disgusting Zheng Yun was! Just as she had expected, now he was still asking Liu Ruyan for money.

"Ruyan, you must believe me! What I said is all true!"

Hearing Lu Xiaoyue's words, Zheng Yun immediately hugged Liu Ruyan even tighter and said, "I really had no choice. Ruyan, if you help me pay the fifty thousand yuan, I will listen to whatever you say in the future. After that, I will be sure to find a job and treat you well for the rest of my life!"

Liu Ruyan looked at Zheng Yun and hesitated. On one hand, because of what Lu Xiaoyue said, she too felt that Zheng Yun was hiding something from her. But when she saw Zheng Yun's face, her heart softened again. If what he said was true... then, wouldn't she have done him dirty? And deep in her heart... she really loved Zheng Yun. After all, Zheng Yun was her first love.

"All right, stop pretending."

At this moment, a burst of laughter rang out. "If you are really a man, why wait for someone to give you money before looking for a job yourself? Even if you work as a builder, you should be able to save some money and repay the debt within two years, right?"
