Chapter 635: Breakup

Upon hearing Brother Long’s audacious command, Gu Pei was dumbfounded. “Seriously? After all this, you still have the nerve to call the cops?”

It was blatantly clear that the hooligans had initiated the altercation. Yet, in defeat, they shamelessly sought to involve law enforcement?

Xu Niannian visibly hesitated, torn between Gu Pei and Brother Long. Eventually, with a resolute expression, she clenched her jaw and dialed the police.

The looming threat of potential consequences loomed large. Gu Pei, as the scion of the Gu family, had a protective shield in the form of his family’s influence. However, he couldn’t afford to further provoke Brother Long while he was still in the picture.

“Xu Niannian!” Gu Pei’s anger flared as he confronted her decision. “I told you to call the cops earlier, but you hesitated. Why are you suddenly doing it now?”

He dreaded the thought of inconveniencing his father, especially with Gu Jin now implicated in the altercation. It seemed she was unafraid to wield her influence, and her ruthlessness caught him off guard.

In No.1 Middle School, tales circulated among the hooligans of fights resulting in dire consequences: win and risk incarceration, lose and face hospitalization.

With Gu Jin on the cusp of her college entrance exams, any blemish on her record could jeopardize her university prospects, a prospect that filled Gu Pei with dread at the thought of facing his mother’s wrath.

Observing Gu Pei’s apprehension, Brother Long exhaled a sigh of relief, convinced of his own shrewdness. He sneered triumphantly, “Xu Niannian belongs to me. It’s only natural she obeys my orders!”

Initially skeptical of such claims, Gu Pei had dismissed them as mere attempts to sow discord. But now, witnessing Xu Niannian’s betrayal as she complied with Brother Long’s command to call the police, he had no choice but to accept the truth.

Despite their longstanding relationship, Gu Pei had never heard Xu Niannian mention Brother Long before. His temper, already frayed, ignited into fury as he fixed her with an accusatory glare.

“Xu Niannian, what’s the meaning of this? Are you cheating on me?”

Xu Niannian’s eyes widened in disbelief, hurt piercing through her gaze as Gu Pei’s accusations struck a nerve.

She hadn’t anticipated such words from him.

Did he truly see her as promiscuous?

Why hadn’t he bothered to inquire about any challenges she might be facing?

His declarations of affection now seemed hollow.

The more Xu Niannian contemplated his accusations, the more incensed she grew. With a bitter sneer, she retorted, “I merely jest, and you take it so seriously? Do you truly believe anyone would fancy an immature boy like you? No, I prefer someone charming and mature, like Brother Long.”

Resigned to the inevitable, Xu Niannian abandoned any pretense of salvaging her impression in Gu Pei’s eyes, opting instead to bolster Brother Long’s stature in the process.

Brother Long, though still incapacitated by pain, regained a modicum of pride.

How could he allow himself to be bested by such a petulant child?

Gu Pei stood there, stunned by a whirlwind of emotions—anger, disappointment, and a profound sense of loss.

In a daze, he nodded, reeling from the weight of the blow. “Fine, I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore. Let’s just end it. Go and have your fun!”

Xu Niannian, taken aback by Gu Pei’s abrupt resignation, couldn’t believe how easily he let her go. Previously, when she’d attempted to break things off, he’d pleaded with her to reconsider, showering her with gifts and attention. He’d spared no expense, even indulging her passion for gaming with new equipment and skins.

Yet now, it seemed he’d relinquished her without a fight.

Men truly didn’t appreciate what they had, she mused bitterly, likening Gu Pei to Brother Long in his cavalier attitude.

Unbeknownst to him, she’d risked much to be with him, her determination outweighing the uncertainty of her circumstances.

Recalling his earlier persistence in reconciling with her despite her intention to move on, Xu Niannian seethed with resentment at his callous dismissal, particularly given her precarious situation.

Her simmering anger erupted in a sneer. “Gu Pei, you never truly cared for me. You only wanted someone to indulge your gaming obsession!”
