Su Minghan hesitated for a few seconds before hanging up the phone.
But the phone rang again immediately, as if there was something urgent.
Su Hao was also a passionate person. He had experienced all the things people did during a passionate love affair. "There might be something important. Just answer it," he said.
"Okay. I'll talk to you later."
Su Minghan turned the call volume to the lowest and held the phone to his ear on the side closer to the car window. "Shujing, it's me."
Su Hao curled his lips and silently complained in his heart.
This brat even has to be on guard against his own father when making a phone call. He's really grown up!
Xiao Shujing hesitated and didn't dare to say it directly. "Ming, Minghan."
Yan Yueyue was beside her, clenching her fists to cheer her on.
"I, I have something to tell you."
Su Minghan was silent for a few seconds and then said, "... Yeah, go ahead."
He had a strange premonition of something bad, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that she wouldn't say those two words.
"Is there really no room for maneuver regarding what we discussed yesterday?" Xiao Shujing still didn't dare to say the cruel words directly.
This made Yan Yueyue beside her so anxious that she wanted to grab the phone and say it for her.
"If you called just to plead for them, then there's no point in continuing this conversation." Su Minghan said coldly and was about to hang up.
This piqued Su Hao's interest, and he pricked up his ears to listen quietly.
"Wait!"
Xiao Shujing shouted anxiously, her voice trembling slightly.
"It seems that your mind is made up. You really want to destroy Yueyue and Shuyuan. When did you become so heartless?"
Su Minghan endured his anger because his father was in the car.
"I don't want to argue about such a meaningless topic."
"Then let's break up."
Buzz—
It was as if someone had hit Su Minghan on the head with a mallet.
His mind went blank, and he didn't know how to respond.
His heart felt like it had been stabbed, and blood was gushing out.
Xiao Shujing's heart was pounding. The thing she was worried about finally happened. He didn't say a word in response, which made her extremely panicked.
Although she knew it was just an act, it was really too cruel to him.
Yan Yueyue excitedly gave her a thumbs - up beside her.
"Are you saying this out of anger or are you serious?"
Su Minghan's voice suddenly dropped to freezing point. There was a heavy atmosphere rising and falling in his chest. Every breath felt like his lungs were being torn apart.
Su Hao could more or less guess what was going on from his son's expression.
His mood immediately became solemn.
How Xiao Shujing wished she could laugh and quickly smooth things over, telling him it was just a joke to tease him. Maybe she could still save their relationship.
At most, she would be scolded by him and then they would have a cold war for a few days.
It wouldn't really lead to a breakup.
But now Su Minghan's mind was made up, and he wouldn't let go of Yueyue and Shuyuan. No matter how much she said, it would be useless.
It wasn't her fault. It was all because he was too stubborn and wouldn't listen to advice.
"My younger brother and my friend's futures can't be ruined here."
Xiao Shujing said with tears in her eyes, full of unwillingness and heartache.
She had hurt the man she loved the most again.
"I'm begging you. If you really like me, cancel their expulsion. Then we can be together forever, and we don't have to break up, okay..." She choked with sobs as she expressed her reluctance.
But this kind of crying and clinging behavior didn't arouse even a shred of pity from Su Minghan. Instead, he thought it was a threat.
Anger welled up in him, and he interrupted her without caring about others.
"Is my feelings for you really so worthless in your eyes?!"
"Two scumbags who almost became murderers. You make it sound like I'm deliberately making things difficult for them! You want to break up, right? Fine, break up!"
Beep beep beep...
The phone was hung up.
Xiao Shujing stood there like a soulless person, completely frozen.
This was the first time Su Minghan had gotten so angry with her.
That roaring shout showed his determination to cut off all ties.
"Shu, Shujing? Are you okay?"
Yan Yueyue looked at her absent - minded state blankly. There was a hint of panic in her heart. Could it be that the plan didn't work?
She stepped in front of her, put her hands on her shoulders, and said fearfully, "What did President Su say? Did he forgive me and A Yuan? He's not really going to expel us, is he?"
"Say something! Don't just stand there in a daze! You're driving me crazy."
Xiao Shujing looked at her helpless state and tears streamed down her face.
"He agreed."
"Really, really?"
Yan Yueyue's mood went from the bottom to the top, from hell to heaven in an instant.
"Ahahaha! Great! Great! Yeah!"
She was so excited that she threw the papers on the table into the air. Just like a graduate student who had finally been relieved, she shouted joyfully.
"Those in Room 302, can you keep it down!"
The students in the next - door dormitory angrily pounded on the door with a bad attitude.
"Sorry, sorry."
Yan Yueyue covered her mouth and still couldn't help giggling.
"My graduation certificate is saved. Phew, I was really scared!"
"I thought I was really going to be expelled. A Yuan will definitely be as happy as me when he hears this news. Don't you think so, Shu..."
She turned around and saw Xiao Shujing sitting slumped on the ground.
Her face was as pale as a seriously ill person.
"Shujing! What's wrong with you!"
"Ming, Minghan," she cried so hard that she could hardly catch her breath. "He doesn't want me anymore."
Yan Yueyue hugged her to comfort her.
"Don't worry. This is just a play we put on to solve the urgent problem. President Su will understand you when he knows the truth."
"Besides, I'm here! I promised to help you."
Xiao Shujing suddenly grabbed her wrist, which startled her.
"Then help me now!"
"Minghan is angry. His tone just now was really scary."
"I'm really scared. I'm afraid he'll never talk to me again."
Yan Yueyue was speechless. "Sis, you just broke up with him a minute ago, and now you're saying you want to get back together. Isn't this just playing with him?"
Xiao Shujing was also anxious and shouted at the top of her voice, "I didn't know his reaction would be so strong! I thought he could understand me!"
Yan Yueyue wiped her tears with a headache. "Okay, okay. Don't be so excited. This matter can't be rushed. We have to take it slowly."
"You promised me. You have to help me!"
Xiao Shujing could only hold on to this last straw.
The despair and the pain that seemed to have no end could only be felt by herself.
If she couldn't win Su Minghan back in a short time, her future career and relationship might all turn into nothing.
Tian Danni would have a chance!
This couldn't happen. It absolutely couldn't!
Su Hao watched as Su Minghan had been sitting there silently with a terrible mood since he hung up the phone.
Just then, the driver parked the car downstairs of the company, breaking the awkward silence.
"Chairman Su, President Su, we're at the company."
Su Hao opened the car door and glanced at his son behind him. He was still lost in his emotions and seemed oblivious to everything.
