Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 785: Chapter 784: In This Life, We Owe Each Other Nothing

After playing a couple of rounds at Fatty’s place, Zhao Ping’an finally left.

This time, Zhao Ping’an still did not return to the martial arts school; he walked through the streets and alleys to a rather secluded flower shop, where he spent over a hundred yuan on a beautiful bouquet of roses.

Afterward, Zhao Ping’an headed straight for a Nursing College in Liuan City, where his girlfriend attended school.

Zhao Ping’an had once been a student there too but had to drop out due to family issues.

Arriving at the school and taking in the familiar scenery, Zhao Ping’an couldn’t help but feel a tide of emotions.

He circled the sports field and arrived at his girlfriend’s dormitory. In the past, while still a student, he often waited for his girlfriend here, but his feelings on returning now were completely different from before.

”Hey, Zhao Ping’an?” A voice interrupted his reverie, and as he turned, he saw several girls standing behind him.

Zhao Ping’an gave an awkward smile; these girls were his girlfriend’s roommates, with whom he used to be very familiar.

”Hello...” Zhao Ping’an paused briefly and asked softly, ”Is Min’er here?”

”You’re looking for Min’er?” one of the girls said, pouting. ”Then you’ve come to the wrong place; she hardly ever comes back here.”

”Where has she gone then?” Zhao Ping’an asked, astonished.

”Of course, to be with her boyfriend,” the girl said with contempt. ”These past few months, she hasn’t been sleeping here at night. The number of times she comes back to the dorm is pitifully few.”

Zhao Ping’an’s face fell slightly; he knew all too well what was going on. Today, outside the Hu Family’s gate, when he saw Min’er get into that man from the Hu Family’s car, he understood everything.

Yet he had not expected that this normally very conservative girl, whom he had dated for a year—only holding hands and never even kissed—would change like this.

It hadn’t been long since they broke up, and her finding a new boyfriend was one thing. But for her to spend the nights not returning to the dorm, accompanying this boyfriend—was this still the conservative girl he knew?

Seeing Zhao Ping’an’s expression, one of the girls sighed and said, ”Ping’an, don’t think about it too much. After all, you’ve already broken up. I think Min’er isn’t right for you anyway; don’t take it too much to heart!”

”What do you mean already broken up? Didn’t you two break up just over a month ago?” another girl interjected immediately. ”But do you know when Min’er started not coming back at night...”

”Keke, stop it...” the girl beside her quickly tugged at her sleeve, but Keke, insistent, protested, ”Why shouldn’t I say it? Zhao Ping’an was so good to her, yet how did she repay him? There’s no one so ungrateful! Ping’an is our classmate; back when we were in school, he took such good care of us, can you really bear to let him be kept in the dark?”

The other girl fell silent, and Keke turned to Zhao Ping’an, saying, ”Let me tell you this—three days after the incident with your family happened, Min’er stopped sleeping in the dorm.”

A pang of pain struck Zhao Ping’an’s heart. The third day? The second day after his father’s incident, he had gone to meet with the people from the Hu Family, and Min’er was with him then.

So, the day after Min’er met the man from the Hu Family, the two of them hooked up and she never came back to sleep? No wonder she was so cold to him during that period, even eventually breaking up with him outright. At the time, he hadn’t thought much of it; he even felt he had no future and didn’t want to hold Min’er back, so he agreed to the breakup.

But now it seemed things were not as they had appeared!

The girl spoke softly in an attempt to comfort him, ”Ping’an, don’t take it too hard. Actually, Min’er used to treat you well; maybe she was deceived by someone...”

Keke immediately said, ”Lied? Hmph, we’re all adults here. You got fooled once, but could you be fooled ten times, twenty times, or even fifty, sixty times? She hasn’t come back to the dorm to sleep for over two months, and you’re telling me she was deceived?”

The girl was at a loss for words and could only sigh despondently.

Looking at the flowers in Zhao Ping’an’s hands, Keke sighed and said, ”Ping’an, you’re an honest person, a good person, and I don’t want you to continue sinking into this. This woman, she’s really not worth your love!”

Zhao Ping’an didn’t speak because he simply didn’t know what to say.

When he saw Min’er being intimate with that man from the Hu Family that morning, he thought his heart was in enough pain. But now he realized that the real pain had only just begun.

Just then, a car roared in the distance, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.

The crowd turned to look, and Keke immediately glared and said, ”Wow, look at that, the sun’s risen from the west today; she’s actually come back!”

Zhao Ping’an promptly turned his head to look and saw a Porsche quickly pulling up below the dormitory. The person driving was none other than that playboy from the Hu Family, with Min’er sitting in the passenger seat, smiling radiantly and seemingly very happy.

When the car stopped, Min’er caught sight of Zhao Ping’an standing below the dormitory. Her expression immediately turned cold as if she had seen a plague-bringer.

”Never mind, I won’t go back to get my things. Let’s just go,” Min’er said to the man beside her.

The man also noticed Zhao Ping’an and a sneer crossed his lips: ”What’s the matter? Afraid of him?”

”Afraid of him? I just don’t want him lingering around tiresomely,” Min’er immediately responded.

”No worries, I’m here. If he dares to cling on, I’ll run him over too, send him to join his dad in the grave!” the man said with a laugh.

A smile crossed Min’er’s lips: ”You, you just have a bad temper!”

”Isn’t that what you like about me?” the man chuckled, his eyes lasciviously scanning over Min’er.

Min’er smiled knowingly: ”Then I’m going down, and you have to keep watch for me, okay?”

”Rest assured!” the man said with a relaxed pride: ”This is Liuan City, the Hu Family’s turf; who dares to cross us here!”

With a face full of admiration, Min’er opened the car door, glanced at Zhao Ping’an, and coldly said, ”What are you doing here?”

Zhao Ping’an took a deep breath and handed the roses to Min’er, softly saying, ”For you!”

”For what?” Min’er didn’t accept them: ”Have you forgotten? We’ve already broken up, there’s no relationship between us anymore. Can you stop bothering me? Doing this only makes me feel disgusted!”

Zhao Ping’an pushed the roses forward again and said softly, ”I know we’ve broken up. But I had once promised to give you a bunch of roses. What I say, I’ll do. Take this bouquet, and from now on, I don’t owe you anything! We have no relationship anymore!”

After speaking, Zhao Ping’an stuffed the roses into Min’er’s hands, turned, and without looking back, ran away with long strides.

The eyes of the girls nearby were moist with tears, but Min’er’s face was one of disdain. She threw the roses to the ground, stomped on them several times, and spat out in loathing: ”We had no relationship to begin with, disgusting indeed!”
