Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 356 - 158 Reuniting with Zhong Tingyue, Li Yuan’s Explanation_2

"And he bought you a Porsche, too?"

Gu Lanxin’s eyes suddenly lit up as she asked cautiously, "Little Moon, did that man really buy you a Porsche sports car?"

With tear tracks on her face, Zhong Tingyue nodded gently. She was too heartbroken to notice the hidden meaning in her mother’s tone.

"Yes, a Porsche 911."

"Little Moon, he’s so good to you," Gu Lanxin blurted out, her face a mask of astonishment.

As a mistress to men of high society, Gu Lanxin knew far more about luxury brands than Zhong Tingyue; she was familiar with all sorts of expensive bags, watches, and sports cars. She was naturally aware of the Porsche 911. The son of a powerful figure in Zhong Tingyue’s father’s family owned one, and it was supposedly worth millions. With her current status, she wouldn’t even be qualified to meet a rich heir like that. Even her own man wouldn’t casually spend millions to buy a Porsche as a gift for someone.

But now, her precious daughter had one.

Her daughter didn’t want it, but he insisted, paying for it in full and registering it in her name. For a moment, Gu Lanxin was at a loss for words.

If I say my daughter’s boyfriend is a two-timing scumbag, well, that’s the truth. But in a way, he’s also a perfect golden catch... The richer a man is, the more he plays around, never lacking for beautiful women.

She not only knew this well but had experienced it firsthand. She even knew of several men who were involved with both a mother and her daughter.

A pang of regret suddenly struck Gu Lanxin. Maybe I shouldn’t have advised my daughter to cut ties with her current boyfriend so cleanly. It would be such a waste. Besides, my own daughter isn’t completely without a chance. It’s obvious that young man also loves my precious daughter dearly.

Gu Lanxin knew very well how rare it was to find a wealthy man who truly liked you and was willing to spend generously. Given her daughter’s boyfriend’s background and wealth, if he wanted to find beautiful women, he would only need to lift a finger, and countless others would flock to him... What’s more, based on what my daughter said, there might still be a chance for a turnaround.

Gathering her thoughts, Gu Lanxin wanted to persuade her daughter subtly, afraid of wounding her pride.

"Little Moon, let me ask you, do you really, truly love him?"

Zhong Tingyue nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Gu Lanxin felt a bit more confident and asked again, "Before this happened, did you feel that he loved you a lot?"

"Yes." Zhong Tingyue nodded again. She wasn’t foolish; she was sensitive enough to sense the genuine affection Li Yuan showed when they were together.

Gu Lanxin pressed on, "Then, search your heart. Are you truly willing to give up on him and end this relationship?"

This time, Zhong Tingyue hesitated. Because of her mother’s influence, she had a strong desire for emotional purity. However, she also recognized that if she let this opportunity slip by, she might regret it for the rest of her life. It was just like the story Li Yuan had told her: she was in Nanshan South, and he was in Beihai North, like parallel lines that would never meet again...

Zhong Tingyue’s gaze became extremely unfocused and dim. "Mom," she said softly, "I don’t know how to face this. I’m so lost, so hurt, and so hopeless."

Gu Lanxin squeezed her daughter’s hand. "Little Moon, does your boyfriend know yet?"

Zhong Tingyue shook her head hesitantly. "I don’t think so. He’s been on a business trip these past few days."

Gu Lanxin suggested, "I think you should see how he reacts. If he really loves you, he will definitely give you an explanation. Besides, even a criminal on death row gets a chance to make a statement before they die. Let’s wait for his response before we decide what to do."

After a long pause, Zhong Tingyue finally asked, "Mom, what should I do now?"

"Wait," Gu Lanxin said earnestly. "Wait for him to contact you, for him to realize you know the truth, and then see how he acts."

"Okay," Zhong Tingyue nodded gently.

Gu Lanxin pulled Zhong Tingyue into her embrace, comforting her. "Little Moon, eat something first. You have to eat at least a little. You can’t let your body collapse."

Zhong Tingyue looked at her mother and nodded lightly, her voice choked with emotion. "Mom, thank you."

Ding Shanshan and Xu Tingrou were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, their hearts filled with worry.

"Tingrou, what do we do?" Ding Shanshan said, her voice laced with panic. "We can’t reach Tingyue. She’s not answering her phone or replying to messages. I’m worried she’ll brood over this and do something reckless."

Xu Tingrou, who was usually so composed, was also flustered. When they found out that their two roommates, Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi, were dating the same guy, they had discussed it and decided not to tell either of them, fearing they wouldn’t be able to handle it.

The day before yesterday, they had been thrilled when Zhong Tingyue drove a Porsche back to campus, and they had all gone for a joyride. But after Zhong Tingyue said she wanted to return to her hometown in Sucheng, everything changed overnight.

Xu Tingrou sighed, speaking helplessly, "That night, I was chatting with Tingyue for a long time. I saw her social media post with a photo of her and Li Scumbag, but then she quickly made it private. When I tried to probe her about it, she just stopped responding..."

Ding Shanshan cursed angrily, "It’s all that scumbag Li Yuan’s fault! If he hadn’t been two-timing, Tingyue wouldn’t have been hurt so badly."
