Chapter 16 -16 In This Lifetime, It Has to Be Him

She thought he was a good person, so she tried to accept him.

Little did she know that Jian Shengli was only intent on possessing her.

Lin Zhi, being more conservative, kept rejecting him.

Angered and humiliated, Jian Shengli began to mock and belittle her, saying she had already been “played” by someone and yet still pretended to be pure.

Lin Zhi had never been involved with Zhou Yi, she told Jian Shengli, but he didn’t believe her and was convinced she was just a frivolous girl.

Seeing his distrust, Lin Zhi chose to break up.

The rejected Jian Shengli harbored even greater resentment and began to slander and frame Lin Zhi.

Suddenly, her reputation plummeted, and those who knew her were led to believe she had been “played.”

Because her reputation was ruined, her path in love became extremely difficult.

Each time she finally found a suitable partner, it would end without any sickness.

The more troubled her love life became, the harder it was for her to find a decent man, leading her to lose hope in love and devote herself entirely to her work.

Before she knew it, she had become a workaholic and was already 35 years old…

Thinking about how miserable her previous life was, Lin Zhi clenched her teeth in silent hatred.

Jian Shengli certainly had a hand in it!

Now, when she saw him, her hate was particularly intense, and yet he dared to approach her.

Lin Zhi’s attitude was very cold, “Very well.

What do you want?”

Usually, Lin Zhi’s attitude towards him was okay—not warm but not this cold either.

Jian Shengli’s eyes flickered as he self-righteously asked, “What’s wrong, are you in a bad mood?

Is it because of that man just now?”

“What man?” Lin Zhi frowned.

“I saw it.

There was a man in a luxury car talking to you at the school gate…”

Lin Zhi stared at him coldly, waiting for him to continue.

Meeting her gaze, Jian Shengli immediately changed his statement, “Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean anything else, I just think you’re too naive and might be cheated by men out there.

That kind of man looks like he’s been around in society for a long time; they’re all very good at pretending.”

Yes, men are very good at pretending, including you!

“Classmate Jian, what do you think I have to do with him?” Lin Zhi asked coldly with a scoff.

Jian Shengli’s eyes brightened immediately, “So you’re saying there’s nothing between you and him?

I must have misunderstood.”

“Now that you know you misunderstood, don’t talk nonsense.

You didn’t hear any of our conversation, yet just because I spoke a few words with him, you assume there’s something between us; you’re being too arbitrary.

Those who don’t know might think you’re deliberately trying to smear me.”

“Lin Zhi, I wasn’t…”

“It’s best that you weren’t.

I also don’t like others slandering me; slandering requires evidence.

I’ll explain this once: I have no relationship with that man, and of course, I will have no relationship with you either.

I know my place, and I will only focus on studying and working, without any thoughts about you guys,” Lin Zhi said sarcastically before turning to leave.

Pity Jian Shengli didn’t catch the implication in her words.

“Lin Zhi, I don’t care about your status, really, I don’t care about anything, don’t feel burdened,” he eagerly chased after her, explaining and even a bit smug.

Thinking Lin Zhi really felt she didn’t deserve him, which was why she had always refused him.

“Classmate Jian, I have someone I love, and in this life, it has to be him.

Apart from him, I will not fall in love with anyone else, nor can anyone replace his place in my heart.

I hope you understand, no matter what happens, I will not change my mind,” Lin Zhi suddenly said very seriously, causing Jian Shengli to pause.
