Chapter 23: Chapter 23: This Girl... A Green Tea Master?

After about five seconds, a reply came through.

"Baby, that was just someone playing a joke on Mianmian, it’s not true. Mianmian has never even met him! You have to believe Mianmian, baby! How could Mianmian be that kind of person?"

"Baby, please let Mianmian explain! That person has been pestering Mianmian, but Mianmian is scared of him. Mianmian doesn’t know what to do. Mianmian wants you to protect Mianmian, SOB SOB SOB~"

[I wonder what her face would look like if she knew tens of thousands of people were watching her little performance.]

[It’s a real shame she’s not in showbiz with acting skills like these. She’s way better than a lot of those pretty-boy actors!]

I’m Not a Rich Kid felt a surge of irritation, and his typed words were sharp with emotion. "He was pestering you, so you told him you’d met some rich idiot to spend money on you? And I’m that idiot who deserved to be tricked?"

[I wonder what this beauty’s next act will be. The whole cry-and-scream-and-threaten-suicide routine?]

[She’s been caught red-handed and she’s still refusing to admit it?]

"Let’s just block each other. It’s for the best," I’m Not a Rich Kid typed again.

"Baby, you’re abandoning Mianmian?"

"Baby, how can you do this to Mianmian? Mianmian has already fallen in love with you! Have you fallen for some other girl? Mianmian did all of this because she likes you, because she loves you! Why can’t you just forgive Mianmian?"

"If you don’t want Mianmian anymore, how is Mianmian supposed to go on living? Do you want Mianmian to die right in front of you?"

[Threatening suicide? Now that’s a pro move!]

[Rich Kid Bro isn’t actually going to get soft-hearted, is he? If he does, he deserves zero sympathy! Just let them be stuck with each other already!]

[Any normal guy wouldn’t be able to stand this, right? Don’t let us down, Rich Kid Bro!] 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"You’re really not going to forgive Mianmian?"

"If you don’t like Mianmian anymore, then Mianmian will just go sleep with other men! Don’t you regret it!"

"Baby, do you really want to break up? Fine. Let Mianmian bear this heart-wrenching pain all alone. So you don’t feel guilty, we’ve been together for so long... let’s just round it up to a year. Mianmian kept you company for a year, so how about a ’youth compensation fee’ of, say, 200,000? Just transfer the money to me, and I’ll never bother you again."

[My god, her skin is thicker than a castle wall, isn’t it?]

[Now I’ve seen everything! Cheating on him, treating him like a backup boyfriend and an ATM, and she still has the nerve to demand a ’youth compensation fee’?]

"Mianmian, we’ve only known each other for five months, haven’t we?"

I’m Not a Rich Kid stared at the message in disbelief.

"That’s right, five months. But ’a day apart feels like three years.’ Mianmian is actually lowballing it. In Mianmian’s heart, it’s like we knew each other in a past life. Mianmian was born in this life just for you, but now you don’t want Mianmian anymore. Mianmian has no other choice. This is the only way to make you remember Mianmian. Mianmian is willing to make this sacrifice for you."

[BLEGH! I can’t take it anymore, I’m actually gonna puke!]

[The world is a wild place! Thanks to Doctor Wen’s stream for broadening my horizons!]

[Hasn’t anyone noticed this ’beauty’ is a repeat offender and an expert at changing the subject? It’s clearly her own promiscuous lifestyle that’s the problem, but now she’s making it all out to be Rich Kid Bro’s fault? If she started her own social media channel, I can’t imagine how many brain-dead followers she’d attract!]

Not every rich kid is a heartless player, only looking for a good time. And I’m Not a Rich Kid was clearly proof of that.

Wen Ying watched the scene unfold. "My dear rich-kid patient," she said, "there’s nothing wrong with wanting to forgive her. She’s quite sincere, in her own way. At the very least, she’s willing to rack her brain weaving lies for you. That’s proof of her dedication, isn’t it? As long as you forgive her, you two can live happily ever after. Of course, you’ll have to deal with her cheating occasionally... or maybe you could all just play together. You’ll get used to that sort of thing."

[Gotta love Doctor Wen! Her words are a real eye-opener! And they send shivers down my spine!]

[To the poster above, I’m in awe of your literary genius! You can have this girlfriend, she’s all yours!]
