Eh? There’s gossip!

The classmates nearby seemed to have all turned into badgers scurrying around. At this moment, they acutely smelled the scent of drama and all of them looked over with sparkling eyes!

At first, Yu Yao was dumbfounded. She didn’t know this strange boy in front of her, so why was he making her seem like a heartless woman who was playing with his feelings?

She failed to react in time.

However, Yu Yao didn’t need to react because the two men next to her didn’t need a female lead for this scene.

After Gao Cheng spoke his lines, Qiao Lian immediately assumed his role. His current role was that of Yu Yao’s new lover.

As the new lover, shouldn’t he be more arrogant?

Hence, Qiao Lian looked at Gao Cheng scornfully. “Who are you?”

Gao Cheng looked at Yu Yao lovingly. “Yaoyao, tell him who I am.”

Yu Yao was confused. “Why are you asking me? How should I know who you are?”

Gao Cheng took a step back, as if he had received a huge blow. “Yaoyao, have you forgotten the happy times we spent together in the past? How could you do this to me?”

“Stop, stop, stop. Speak properly!” Yu Yao rolled her eyes speechlessly. “Spent happy times together with you? Cut out the cringy act.”

Qiao Lian saw that Gao Cheng looked stifled. He had long known that Yu Yao was not the kind of person who would act according to the rules. It was quite interesting to see others being rendered speechless by her.

After being interrupted, Gao Cheng’s performance did not seem so coherent anymore. He said dryly, “I thought that the two of us already understood each other’s feelings and that we were just short of becoming official. But it’s only been ten days; why did you…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing this, Yu Yao seemed to realize who this man who had appeared out of nowhere was.

Although this man named Gao Cheng looked ordinary and could not be compared to the real tall, rich, and handsome man beside her, in the novel “Fake Heiress’s Boundless Glory,” his scenes had been much more serious than Qiao Lian’s. He could even be a supporting actor or a minor protagonist.

This was a guy who had pride higher than the heavens despite his poor family background. He couldn’t get close to the fake heiress Yu Wan, but he could approach the real heiress Yu Yao.

From the moment Yu Yao entered university, he had started to pursue her. Gao Cheng didn’t despise Yu Yao despite the inhuman torture she suffered in the mental hospital. Instead, he had continued to pursue her relentlessly. Yu Yao thought that he truly loved her and married him after graduation.

However, what Yu Yao did not know was that Gao Cheng’s pursuit had been planned from the start. He had appeared only because Yu Wan did not want Yu Yao to marry a man with a good family background in the future. She could not tolerate her sister having happiness in her life!

Yu Yao sized up this man called Gao Cheng.

Well, he had a moderate figure and decent style. He was also quite good-looking. Although he was not as handsome as Qiao Lian, he could still be considered good-looking and tidy. However, the hint of hypocrisy and scheming in his eyes greatly detracted from his looks, making him look less attractive.

Gao Cheng, on the other hand, thought that she had been moved by him. He thought to himself that he had been Yu Yao’s lackey for almost two months. Every so often, he would send her WeChat messages to catch up with her, help her get a seat at the library, and occasionally give her some snacks or gifts. Even the most arrogant girl would soften up. Moreover, Yu Yao had a little inferiority complex to begin with. How could she not be moved by his actions?

Gao Cheng didn’t have time to tell Yu Yao about his feelings before she asked in confusion, “Where did you get the idea that I like you?”

Gao Cheng wasn’t the only one to be shocked. Even the passersby who were secretly watching the development were stunned.

Yu Yao reached out to tug on Qiao Lian’s sleeve and pointed at his face with her other hand. “Let’s not talk about family background or personal ability, just physical traits. Look at this face and think about your own appearance. Who do you think would dislike such a high-quality guy and end up liking someone like you?”

A faint smile appeared in the depths of Qiao Lian’s eyes. He obediently acted like a tool that Yu Yao had pulled over to show off. He didn’t feel offended at all, but instead actually felt somewhat happy.

Gao Cheng’s face flushed red before turning pale. Words failed him.

The surrounding students compared the two men and felt that Yu Yao’s words were completely irrefutable.

Some people couldn’t help but sigh. “That’s true. With such a huge difference in terms of appearance, everyone would know what to choose, right?”

Someone refuted softly, “You can’t just look at that. When it comes to relationships, it has to be on a first come, first served basis, right?”

There was also an objective and rational person who chimed in, saying, “Didn’t they make their relationship clear before? Maybe that guy was thinking too highly of himself and assumed that the girl liked him?”

“Indeed, that’s a possibility…”

Gao Cheng’s expression changed as he listened to the discussions around him.. In the end, he couldn’t bear the pressure and fled.
