"Shen Yuan, let's end it here."
"Don't contact me again in the future."
"I wish you find a more sensible girl."
In Xing City, at the South Gate of the Overseas Affairs Economic Institute, Shen Yuan's eyes widened slightly, his expression surprised: "Ting, three years of feelings just disappear like that? I didn't expect you to be so heartless."
"Can you stop acting like some pure love warrior? Don't you know how much feeling we had between us?"
"Also, don't call me 'Ting' anymore. Honestly, it's pretty tacky. Please call me by my full name, Zhou Wanting, from now on. Thank you."
As the two talked, a black Audi A7 slid over and stopped steadily beside Zhou Wanting.
Zhou Wanting proudly lifted her chin, tucking the hair from her forehead behind her ear: "I'm leaving. My friend is here to pick me up."
Shen Yuan stared blankly as his girlfriend of three years was about to open the car door and get into the A7's passenger seat. He couldn't help but reach out again: "Ting, wait."
"Didn't I say not to call me Ting anymore?!"
Zhou Wanting stopped, her brows slightly furrowed: "What else?"
"Do you remember those designer bags I bought you? They cost a lot of money back then. Can you return them to me?"
"Shen Yuan, can you have some shame?"
"This old lady slept with you for three years, and you only bought me a few lousy bags. Now that we've broken up, you want them back?!"
"Uh..."
Shen Yuan paused slightly, then after a moment, he suggested: "Then how about this? When you're free, we can have one last time to reminisce about our past three years, since we've been together for so long..."
"Get lost!"
With a "bang", Zhou Wanting closed the car door without looking back, leaving Shen Yuan stunned in place.
"Damn it, it's a bit of a loss. She won't even let me collect some interest."
He and Zhou Wanting met three years ago. At that time, Shen Yuan had just started his freshman year, a new student at the Overseas Affairs Economic Institute.
Because his appearance stood out among many freshmen, and on the day of registration, he drove a flashy pink BMW 4 Series, he immediately attracted Zhou Wanting, a sophomore who was participating in the welcoming work.
After a series of advances from the senior, Shen Yuan couldn't resist.
To be honest, facing a senior, especially someone from the flight attendant class like Zhou Wanting, with her straight, white legs and curvaceous figure, Shen Yuan felt no guy could resist.
In the three years they were together, Shen Yuan not only learned a lot of things not found in textbooks from the senior, but also unlocked many new "knowledge."
Of course, Shen Yuan did not mistreat this teacher who imparted knowledge.
His family background was good. At that time, his parents ran three overseas travel agencies, and business was excellent, making a fortune, so Shen Yuan never lacked pocket money.
He basically bought Zhou Wanting gifts every month, including skincare products, lipsticks, cosmetics, and shoes, in various styles.
And every semester, he would give her a bag—Chanel, LV, Prada—anything under 50,000 yuan was hers to choose.
Unfortunately, good times don't last. Due to certain influences, the industry was severely impacted. At that time, let alone overseas tourism, even domestic tourism business couldn't be done.
Shen Yuan's parents thought this situation wouldn't last long and struggled to support their family business, but who would have thought it would be an exceptionally difficult and prolonged battle?
Airlines, scenic spots, and large companies that had originally scheduled overseas team-building trips faced wave after wave of refund requests. What was worse, Lao Shen had just opened his third branch that year.
Over three years, the travel agencies' rent, utility bills, employee salaries, including advertising already invested, online promotions, and large-scale breach of contracts...
All these factors led to three travel agencies becoming two, then two becoming one, and in the end, the last remaining one didn't last long either.
The family sold two properties and three cars. Millions in assets turned into over a million in debt in the blink of an eye.
Lao Shen's family returned to pre-liberation times, and Shen Yuan went from a rich second-generation to a debt second-generation.
When Shen Yuan's family went bankrupt, Zhou Wanting had already been interning at an airline for some time. She could meet many wealthy people through her work, and with such a thing happening, it was only natural for her to keep her distance from Shen Yuan.
Zhou Wanting was also very skilled. She first used the excuse of being busy with work to reduce meetings with Shen Yuan, then gradually decreased the frequency of WeChat and phone contact, and then officially proposed breaking up upon returning to school this time.
Actually, Shen Yuan wasn't that bothered by this, after all, when they were together, they both got what they wanted, and it was normal for Zhou Wanting to leave for money now.
Who does pure love these days?!
He was just a little pained by the money he had spent.
Before, Shen Yuan was a big spender, giving away designer bags and buying high-end cosmetics without a second thought. Now that his whole family was squeezed into a 70-square-meter rental apartment, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Zhou Wanting to return the bags. After all, a single bag he casually gave away back then was now equivalent to several months of his family's living expenses.
After becoming a debt second-generation, first, his living standard plummeted. Driving a BMW turned into taking the bus, and KTV and clubbing were basically out of the question. He only dared to eat fast food.
His social circle also changed. Before, he had a bunch of fair-weather friends who followed him around to eat and drink. Now that they knew Shen Yuan's family was bankrupt, they all kept their distance.
Fortunately, Shen Yuan inherited his father's temperament and was open-minded about everything. The education he received from a young age also taught him to be broad-minded and optimistic, so such a blow was acceptable to him.
In short, life was tight, but he saw a positive side: at least he saw through those fair-weather friends he used to have.
After cursing a few more times in his mind, Shen Yuan pulled his thoughts back, hands in his pockets, ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, the A7's driver's side window slowly lowered. Inside, a greasy middle-aged man with glasses looked at Shen Yuan with a hint of smugness: "Young man, where are you going? Do you want a ride?"
"No, thanks. My home is close."
Shen Yuan shook his head. The apartment his family rented now was only four bus stops away, so it was quite convenient.
"It's fine. Anyway, Tingting and I aren't in a hurry. The car isn't anything great, as long as you don't mind it." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Shen Yuan's eyelid twitched. He thought, this guy is really putting on airs. Besides the base model, the lowest configuration of an Audi A7 starts at over 600,000 yuan, and he's telling him not to mind it.
Shen Yuan could tell with his toes that once he got in the car, this guy would definitely attack him with 360-degree Spiral Strike.
"Big brother, you're a good person, and I appreciate the offer, but my home really is close. It won't take long to walk."
A hint of regret flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but in front of Zhou Wanting, he still pretended to be very graceful: "Alright, then be careful on your way home."
"Yes, Wanting is a good girl. You must take good care of her."
The man was about to turn the wheel and leave when he heard this. He was slightly stunned at first, then a little touched. He didn't expect Tingting's ex-boyfriend to be quite nice.
This is what you call broad-mindedness.
"Don't worry, Tingting is in my hands!"
The middle-aged man patted his chest, gave Shen Yuan a gesture, and then intended to raise the car window and leave.
"Big brother, wait a moment."
"What else?" The man stopped his action and turned to look at Shen Yuan.
"As men, we must give women the best. Wanting has many habits, big brother, please make a note of them."
Shen Yuan began counting on his fingers: "First, she likes to use Okamoto 001. Second, she doesn't like stockings that are too high quality. She still has two sets of nurse and police uniforms, so you don't need them for now..."
"Hey, big brother, wait, I'm not finished yet!"
Watching the A7 flee in disarray, Shen Yuan muttered under his breath: "Damn it, I just got to the important part!"

The synthetic voice that suddenly appeared in his mind and the panel that abruptly popped up in front of him startled Shen Yuan.
"I wasn't dying after being dumped, so why am I having hallucinations and auditory hallucinations?"
Shen Yuan closed his eyes, but the tech panel remained clearly suspended before him.
He turned his head, and the panel even rotated with his gaze, always staying directly in front.
Shen Yuan looked at the words "Perfect Life System" on the panel and suddenly remembered something.
A roommate in his dorm loved reading web novels, and Shen Yuan had heard him talk about many outrageous plots.
Among them was the 'System Daddy'.
Could it be that this immense fortune had fallen upon him again?
Shen Yuan wanted to confirm again, but the panel had disappeared, and there were no other sounds in his mind.
"Shen Yuan!"
A familiar female voice, clear and crisp, suddenly came to his ears, interrupting Shen Yuan's thoughts. He turned his head and saw that it was the young Counselor, Li Xiao.
"Counselor."
Li Xiao was not only Shen Yuan's Counselor but also taught Business English. At this moment, she should have just finished class, holding two English textbooks in her arms, her pretty face looking at Shen Yuan with concern.
"I saw everything just now. Don't be discouraged, the next one will be better."
The Counselor was only a few years older than Shen Yuan and his fellow students. Today, she wore a beige mini-skirt that revealed two-thirds of her beautiful legs, and a dark brown, wide-collared sweater on her upper body.
Besides her modern bust, what excited the boys even more was a black choker tied around her snow-white neckline.
However, before Shen Yuan could admire her for a few more glances, the synthetic voice in his mind sounded again.
[Li Xiao: Favorability towards host is 65]
