Zhou Yu actually had a necklace worth a million.
If it had been handed to her today, she would have gained a million in assets out of thin air.
Not to mention that the Heart of the Ocean was worth far more than a million.
To be honest, Su Yao truly regretted it at this moment.
With an ugly expression, she looked at Zhou Yu, wanting to make things clear. "Zhou Yu, is this what you wanted? Were you deliberately here to humiliate me today? You knew all along that I and..."
Though the rest of the sentence remained unspoken, anyone who knew the inside story understood.
Su Yao wanted to ask if Zhou Yu had known all along that she had betrayed him and cheated on him with Li Qiang.
That was why he had deliberately made a bet with Li Qiang on her birthday.
"Su Yao, you didn't really think this necklace was meant for you in the first place, did you? Do you even deserve it?"
Zhou Yu casually tossed out those three words.
Su Yao felt a wave of dizziness. Why?!
Just because she had hurt him, Zhou Yu was going to make her pay it back a thousand times over?
She tried hard to find any trace of that past warmth in Zhou Yu's eyes, even the slightest bit.
But there was none. Instead, she saw disgust in his starry eyes.
The man who had once loved her deeply actually despised her to the point of disgust.
Su Yao could no longer bear it. She grabbed her LV handbag, covered her mouth, and hurried out of the private dining room.
"Su Yao!"
Li Qiang failed to grab her in time, letting her run off.
"Zhou Yu, you drove Su Yao away—are you satisfied now? Today is her birthday, aren't you going too far by acting like this?!"
Li Qiang had been worrying about losing the bet and couldn't find an excuse.
Su Yao running off like this gave him just the opening he needed.
He immediately turned his firepower on Zhou Yu.
"Young Master Li, you really are something! Wasn't it you who insisted on seeing what expensive gifts I had? Why are you playing the good guy now? Could it be that you don't want to admit you lost the bet and are deliberately looking for excuses?"
Having his true intentions exposed by Zhou Yu, Li Qiang trembled with fat, his eyes flashing with hatred.
"Or perhaps, Young Master Li doesn't want to pay for this meal and wants to use this chance to leave?"
Zhou Yu continued to provoke Li Qiang.
Hearing Zhou Yu put it that way, the other classmates present looked at the half-eaten feast on the table with uneasy hearts.
If Li Qiang left, who was going to pay the bill?!
They were here to curry favor with Li Qiang, not to clean up his mess.
Eating and drinking for free was fine, but bleeding money out of them was out of the question.
Several quick-witted male classmates immediately chimed in, "Young Master Li, just have some of the girls go coax Su Yao. Girls are thin-skinned, she'll be fine in a moment! Come on, let's all drink to Young Master Li—thank you for your hospitality!"
The few girls who received the meaningful glances also realized the gravity of the situation and hurriedly rushed out of the private room to look for Su Yao.
They absolutely could not let Su Yao just walk away like that.
Unable to leave as a few male classmates pinned him in place, Li Qiang was toasted one after another while listening to flattering words, and his mood gradually soared.
Even though the campus belle from Yun University said the Heart of the Ocean was real, he firmly believed in his heart that it was a fake.
She was merely pitying Zhou Yu and trying to save face for him.
Once he found an opportunity to have a professional appraiser examine it, he would expose Zhou Yu and make him return every ounce of face he had lost today.
...
In the restroom, Su Yao was surrounded and comforted by several female classmates.
"Su Yao, stop crying. If you cry your eyes swollen, you won't look pretty!"
"That's right, hurry up and touch up your makeup! Young Master Li will be heartbroken if he sees you like this!"
"If you ask me, that Zhou Yu is the most detestable one! He clearly had the Heart of the Ocean to give to our Su Yao, yet he stubbornly gave it to Yun Mengyan instead! Looking at how attentive he used to be toward our Su Yao, I thought he was so deeply in love? Turns out it was all an act!"
"Sigh, who's to say otherwise! By the way, Su Yao, how could Zhou Yu have a million-dollar Heart of the Ocean? Could he be some kind of hidden second-generation wealthy heir?"
As soon as one of the female classmates finished speaking, all the girls fell silent.
They all stared fixedly at Su Yao, waiting for her to say something to verify Zhou Yu's identity.
If Zhou Yu was a wealthy second-generation heir, wouldn't he be the complete package of tall, rich, and handsome?
Oh my god!
How blissful would it be to be pursued by a man like that?
Since Su Yao had broken up with Zhou Yu, did they stand a chance too...
Hearing this, Su Yao paused mid-motion while touching up her makeup.
The puff accidentally left a thick layer of powder traces on her face. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to scratch the faces of these women.
What tier did they think they were on to compare with her?
Zhou Yu didn't want her anymore—would he want these cheap tramps?
Thinking of Zhou Yu and that million-dollar Heart of the Ocean, a flash of unwillingness crossed Su Yao's eyes.
Although she had never seen a real Heart of the Ocean, Yun Mengyan definitely had.
Therefore, the moment Yun Mengyan confirmed it wasn't a fake, she had already believed that Zhou Yu truly possessed a million-dollar Heart of the Ocean.
And it was very likely meant to be given to her today!
Every time she thought of this, her heart was engulfed by a deep, stabbing pain.
If she hadn't publicly exposed her relationship with Li Qiang in front of Zhou Yu today, would she still have had a chance to win him back?
Ha!
Glancing through the mirror at the expressions of excitement on the faces of the girls beside her—like foxes catching the scent of blood—
Su Yao sneered inwardly.
"I've been with Zhou Yu for a whole year. Could I possibly not know whether he's a rich second-generation heir?"
"But even Campus Belle Yun proved that the Heart of the Ocean is real!"
Su Yao cast a sidelong glance at the girl. "We're all classmates—take a look at the stall-bought clothes Zhou Yu usually wears; his entire outfit doesn't cost a hundred yuan! He only ever eats vegetarian dishes when dining out! Is there any rich second-generation heir like that?"
Disappointment surfaced in the depths of all their eyes.
What Su Yao said made sense. Look at Li Qiang: his family had a little money, and he was practically desperate to let the whole school know he was Young Master Li.
Even if someone wanted to keep a low profile, they couldn't possibly be that dead silent about it, right?
"There's only one possibility: Campus Belle Yun pitied Zhou Yu, so she lied!"
The women looked at one another!
Disappointment flashed across all their eyes—what a terrible pity!
...
When the group came out of the restroom, one of the girls looked through the glass window toward the roadside downstairs.
"Oh wow, look over there everyone, there's a Ferrari supercar, and it's red!"
Everyone followed the direction she was pointing.
Sure enough, they saw an eye-catching red Ferrari supercar parked downstairs.
"I've only ever seen photos in magazines before, it looks even cooler in person!"
Su Yao glanced at it. Although it was a Ferrari, it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't care.
She urged the others to return to the private room.
Seeing Su Yao return, Li Qiang hurriedly waved her over.
"There's a Ferrari parked downstairs, I wonder which young master it belongs to!"
As soon as one of the girls sat down, she shared what she had seen.
"What color is it?"
"Red, super cool!"
Hearing about a red Ferrari, Li Qiang immediately signaled smugly to the people at the dining table to look at him.
That look seemed to say: Hurry up and ask me, go on, ask me!
A male classmate exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be Young Master Li's?!"
Su Yao frowned, just about to interrupt.
Li Qiang grinned from ear to ear, his triple chin lifting at a forty-five-degree angle.
The outline of his jaw finally became visible.
"Oh, nothing much! Only cost a little over two million!"
After saying that, he even glanced in Zhou Yu's direction.
Ha! So what if you can pull out a Heart of the Ocean? I have money to burn. Compared to me, you might as well go be reborn in your next life.
Su Yao just felt something was wrong. She had come in Li Qiang's Ferrari...
But that car clearly wasn't the one Li Qiang drove...
