Letting Go of Old Love, Opening Up to New Romance - Chapter 22

His breakup with Chen Xinxin shocked me.

I chased after him for ten years, only knowing that Chen Xinxin was the only person he couldn’t forget.

I still remember the day of our senior year graduation ceremony. Jiang Yu was ready to confess to Chen Xinxin, but Chen Xinxin was confessed to by a famous rich second-generation guy from school, and they ended up together.

That night, I accompanied Jiang Yu, drinking until he was dead drunk, watching him shed tears for Chen Xinxin, seeing him heartbroken and in pain for her. It was then I realized that the man who had always been cold and indifferent to me could actually love someone so deeply.

That’s why, when I found out he was with Chen Xinxin, I completely gave up.

But when I came to my senses, I saw Sheng Boyu beside me, his lips slightly raised, his eyes flowing with a shadowy smile.

He looked at Jiang Yu and said in a hostile tone, “Is Mr. Jiang dreaming some grand dreams? Right in front of me, trying to steal my girl, do you think I have no temper?”

Jiang Yu snorted coldly, “You’re just a fresh graduate. Can you give her a stable life? Or are you expecting her to support you?”

Sheng Boyu tightened his grip on my hand, a hint of a rogue smile crossing his lips.

“Has Mr. Jiang investigated me? I admit, my annual income isn’t high, just one or two million, but I have a house in Shenzhen and plan to get a nice car soon. I can’t promise Yingying a life of luxury, but giving her a stable life shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

I was stunned for a moment, looking at Sheng Boyu and asking, “Are you joking? You can earn that much in a year?”

Sheng Boyu laughed, “No joke. During university, I made money selling songs and opened a studio. The studio’s profits have been pretty good these past few years.”

Sheng Boyu paused, glanced at Jiang Yu, and continued, “This time I went to Beijing, though I declined the company’s offer to train new talent for a boy band, I signed an exclusive composer contract with them. This year’s income should logically double compared to last year.”

With every word Sheng Boyu said, Jiang Yu’s face grew darker.

After he finished speaking, he provocatively looked at Jiang Yu and asked with a smile, “I wonder what Mr. Jiang’s annual income is? To be so confident that only you can provide Yingying with a stable life.”

Jiang Yu furrowed his brows, his expression somewhat embarrassed. After a moment, he smiled again, “You’re young, your mind isn’t settled…”

Before Jiang Yu could finish, Sheng Boyu interrupted him, “I’ve loved her for five years, my mind is very settled. If it weren’t for not reaching the legal age for marriage, I’d want to marry her right away.”
