Chapter 175: Lu Ziyi, You’re So Heartless!
When a girl confesses so forcefully, and she is so outstanding, other guys would inevitably waver, or at least try to be gentle and tactful.
Lu Ziyi did not. He just as forcefully shattered Tang Jie’er’s logic: “I am pursuing Xiaoxiao. If she rejects me and tells me not to bother her, I won’t pester her. I am telling Miss Tang clearly now: I reject your pursuit. I don’t like girls like you. There is absolutely no possibility between us!”
Lu Ziyi’s words became sharper with each sentence. His attitude was clear: he wouldn’t even give Tang Jie’er a chance to pursue him.
Lu Ziyi was definitely not someone who was indecisive about relationships.
Tang Jie’er had already prepared herself mentally. She never expected Lu Ziyi to accept her easily.
Lu Ziyi’s resistance only ignited Tang Jie’er’s fighting spirit: “Ziyi, it’s too early to say there’s no possibility! Many projects that seemed impossible, I eventually secured! I won’t give up. I will compete with Ye Chuxiao. Who your girlfriend is, is still not decided!”
“I’m very sorry, Miss Tang!” Lu Ziyi remained unmoved, saying in a deep voice, “I am just an architect, not a businessman. I don’t fall for your tricks in the business world! I have my own thoughts and choices. As for you, you are just a bad debt! When you calm down and see clearly, just stop. I won’t accompany you further!”
Lu Ziyi stood up from the booth’s long seat, walked past Tang Jie’er, and left without hesitation.
Tang Jie’er felt a lump in her chest. She watched Lu Ziyi’s tall and handsome back as he walked away, without any lingering affection.
From childhood to adulthood, Tang Jie’er had never experienced such frustration. She was the only child in the Tang family, and Tang Hong raised her as the heir to the Tang Group.
She possessed enviable beauty, courage stronger than any boy, and talent that even elders admired. In what way was she inferior to Ye Chuxiao, who looked like a blank piece of paper, as bland and tasteless as a cup of plain water?
She had boldly confessed her love to Lu Ziyi, fully expecting that even if he didn’t agree immediately, he would be moved. But he spoke such heartless words without even a second’s thought!
Lu Ziyi pushed open the heavy glass door and walked out. The door closed behind him.
Tang Jie’er still stared fixedly at the closed door, breathing heavily, a boundless resentment filling her chest.
The white porcelain coffee cup in her hand was clenched tightly.
Suddenly, a joy surged through Tang Jie’er’s heart. The coffee cup tipped over, and the black liquid spilled out, filling the table with a bitter aroma, and then flowing onto Miss Tang’s beautiful purple chiffon skirt.
Miss Tang paid no attention at all. She stood up joyfully, watching the figure she had eagerly anticipated push open the heavy glass door and walk in.
She knew it; what man wouldn’t be moved by her? Lu Ziyi regretted it, didn’t he? Or had he come back for her?
“Ziyi…” Tang Jie’er called out happily.
“Mr. Lu!”
At the same time, someone else called out.
The waiter, Xiao Yu, was carrying a takeout bag and heading towards the booth where Lu Ziyi had been sitting. He saw Lu Ziyi walking in from the entrance.
“I came back to get the takeout bag,” Lu Ziyi said.
Xiao Yu handed the takeout bag to Lu Ziyi with both hands and politely said, “Mr. Lu, thank you for your patronage.”
“Good night,” Lu Ziyi nodded, took the takeout bag, and turned to walk out the door again.
