After Yang Yu "got hurt," his days were simply too good to be true.
Lin Jia Yi stayed by his side 24/7, taking care of him. Their relationship blossomed during this time, and with his spirits lifted, Yang Yu rewarded a few love consultants with a handsome sum.
The love consultants were ecstatic, profusely thanking him and assuring him they would do their utmost to help him with his love life.
Meanwhile, someone else was having a very bad time.
After the initial indulgence in their newly single status, Meng Yun and Yu Fei gradually calmed down. As they reminisced about their time with Lin Jia and Ding Dian, a longing for them took hold, overwhelming them.
One day, Meng Yun listlessly scrolled through Lin Jia's Moments, which hadn't been updated in over ten days.
Across from him, Yu Fei, equally dejected, asked, "What are you doing? You look so glum. Why have you been glued to your phone lately?"
Meng Yun handed his phone to Yu Fei. "Look, on the day Lin Jia went on vacation, I didn't see a message about it. Plus, there were so many scenic and selfie photos at first, why are there none lately?"
Meng Yun continued, his face flushed with awkwardness, "On the day Lin Jia moved out, there was a young man who came to pick her up. Don't you think they might be together?"
Yu Fei replied, "If you're worried, just call her and ask. What's the point of fretting over it?"
"Why don't you ask Ding Dian about it?" Meng Yun suggested hesitantly.
Yu Fei snorted. "You think she'd even talk to me? I have time to be stuck here with you daydreaming? I call her, she doesn't pick up. I text her, she doesn't respond."
Yu Fei pulled out his phone and checked Ding Dian's Moments.
"Look at how carefree she is now. Shopping, going out every day, changing everything in her house, even sending back all the things I gifted her to my company. And look at this title, ‘Out with the old, in with the new.’ It just makes me so mad!"
Yu Fei grabbed his water cup and took a large gulp before continuing, "I even asked Ke Er about it, and she said there was this young man who kept going to see Ding Dian two months ago. Ding Dian mentioned him to me casually, and I didn't pay much attention. Now that I think about it, something's definitely fishy."
"Ke Er also told me that Ding Dian bought the coffee shop where she works. How could Ding Dian afford that with her income?"
Talking about Ding Dian made Yu Fei vent his frustrations.
Meng Yun's face tightened. "Could those two young men be the same person?"
Yu Fei nodded. "It's very possible. Do you remember what the young man you saw looked like?"
"I just saw him from the window of my apartment and couldn't make out much, but his car was easy to recognize," Meng Yun said.
They locked eyes and said in unison, "Lamborghini Aventador."
They both felt that Ding Dian and Lin Jia had been tricked.
No, they had to expose him. Even though they had broken up, they couldn't just stand by and watch them be deceived by this young man.
"We have to figure something out. Even if we can't get Lin Jia and Ding Dian back, we have to expose this young man's true colors," Meng Yun said.
Yu Fei nodded in agreement. "Right, we have to make Lin Jia and Ding Dian see his true colors, or they'll be in danger."
"So what should we do now?" Meng Yun asked.
Yu Fei was always the one with more ideas, and Meng Yun was now counting on him completely.
"The main problem now is that we don't know anything about this young man," Yu Fei analyzed.
"Yeah, we're completely clueless about the enemy," Meng Yun echoed.
"Leave that to me. Ke Er said his name is Yang Yu. I happen to know a private investigator. I'll ask him to look into him. It'll cost a bit, but it's worth it," Yu Fei said confidently.
"Good. Let's do it your way. But what about me? I can't just sit around waiting," Meng Yun asked.
"At this point, Lao Meng, don't worry about your pride anymore. Take the initiative and reach out to Lin Jia, see what she's up to. If you had been less stubborn, things wouldn't have turned out this way," Yu Fei said.
Meng Yun was also feeling a strong sense of crisis now. While he had been angry and upset with Lin Jia before, even breaking up, he was confident that she wouldn't truly leave him. But now it was different. This sudden appearance of Yang Yu made him uneasy, especially the thought of Lin Jia and Yang Yu traveling alone together for so long. It was agonizing.
Meng Yun picked up his phone and, under Yu Fei's encouraging gaze, mustered his courage and dialed Lin Jia's number.
The call went straight to voicemail. "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable..."
