Chapter 163: Actors, Running Into Actors Again

"Zhao Yang, today is my birthday. Didn't we agree to talk about things after my birthday?" Lu Feifei furrowed her brows unhappily as she picked up her chopsticks.

Besides the two of them, there were three other women and one man seated at the table. Including Qin Anyi and Yang Cheng, all six people—twelve eyes in total—were now fixed on Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang's face flushed a deep red as he stared dead at Lu Feifei. "Feifei, if we really wait until after this birthday, you'll definitely break up with me completely! I know the last incident made you very disappointed, but Feifei, please believe me, I love you. Give me one more chance, just one last time!"

"Zhao Yang... I don't want to bring up that matter again. It wasn't just your humiliation; it was my profound humiliation as well. I invited you today strictly in the capacity of friends. We used to be together after all, and even if we've separated, I don't want to treat you like a stranger. But please stop harassing me." Lu Feifei put down her chopsticks and said calmly.

"Feifei!" Zhao Yang suddenly stood up from his chair, his knees buckling before he dropped straight to the floor in front of everyone, kneeling right before Lu Feifei. "Feifei, you should know that my feelings for you are genuine. During the time we were together, I treated you like a treasure, and almost all my money was spent on you. You can't just dump me like this!"

Lu Feifei frowned once more. She stood up from her chair, walked over to a nearby cupboard, and slid open the door. She pulled out a small box, turned around, and handed it directly to Zhao Yang.

"Zhao Yang, all the jewelry you've ever bought me is in this box. I was never with you for material gain, and to be honest, I never once asked you to buy me these things—you insisted on purchasing them yourself. Since we are parting ways now, I'm returning them to you so you won't think I, Lu Feifei, took advantage of you."

Zhao Yang froze, then shook his head violently. "Feifei, that's not what I meant! I just want to stay with you. Since I bought these things for you, naturally they belong to you. How could I possibly take them back? Feifei, I just want you to change your mind!"

*Impressive...* Qin Anyi watched Lu Feifei's performance and praised her inwardly. This woman certainly had a calculating mind, completely playing Zhao Yang in the palm of her hand. Bringing out these items instantly made Lu Feifei appear magnanimous and upright, making Zhao Yang look all the more pathetic. Regardless of whether Zhao Yang took the items or not, purely from the perspective of the breakup, Lu Feifei had successfully distanced herself entirely from blame. *It just didn't work out, nothing more. Why bother entangling oneself further?*

That was precisely the message Lu Feifei wanted to convey.

Only... how could a relationship involve only these jewelry purchases? Since he had bought so much jewelry, his spending on other things must have been even more extravagant. Yet, by simply pulling out this box, Lu Feifei naturally drew everyone's attention entirely to the box, preventing anyone from thinking about the rest.

"Zhao Yang, get up. There's truly no possibility for us anymore. With so many people watching, I don't want to drag up that incident again," Lu Feifei said softly, placing the box on the table.

Zhao Yang stared blankly at Lu Feifei. He had thought that kneeling directly in front of so many people was a sincere enough gesture to win her back, but he never expected that Lu Feifei's heart was already ironclad.

"Lu Feifei! Do you really have to break up with me?" Zhao Yang stood up, his face turning livid, his eyes locked onto Lu Feifei.

"Yes. Zhao Yang, give up. That incident means I no longer have any desire to continue this relationship with you." Lu Feifei nodded.

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" Zhao Yang spat out the word three times. Abandoning his kneeling posture, he stood up to his full height and snatched the jewelry box from the table. "Lu Feifei, since you show no loyalty, don't blame me for being heartless! The money I spent on you during the time we were together is far more than this box is worth! You want to break up? Fine, pay back every last cent!"

"You! Zhao Yang, have you no shame? All that money was spent of your own free will because you wanted to! I never once demanded anything from you! By your logic, shouldn't you also pay me for sleeping with you?" Lu Feifei had never expected Zhao Yang to sink to such shameless depths. Overwhelmed with emotion, her voice involuntarily rose.

"Ha! Sleeping with me? It's not like only I enjoyed it! Weren't you enjoying it just as much? Lu Feifei, don't think I'm a complete idiot. Before me, who knows how many men you've already slept with? You're nothing more than a promiscuous slut! As long as you get paid, anyone can sleep with you. How are you any different from the whores on the street?" Zhao Yang glared at Lu Feifei with bitter hatred.

"Don't put on airs of false purity in front of me! I admit I was cowardly back then, standing by and watching you and that bastard Dafai go at it! But Lu Feifei, search your own conscience—when Dafai was sleeping with you, how unwilling were you really? Probably not at all! I bet when you and Dafai were going at it, you were totally into it, looking like you were thoroughly enjoying yourself without the slightest trace of reluctance!"

"Zhao Yang! You... you shameless bastard!"

Hearing this, Lu Feifei swung her hand, intending to slap Zhao Yang across the face, but he caught her wrist firmly in his grip.

"I'm only shameless because you forced me to be! You treated me, Zhao Yang, like a gullible fool, so you have to pay the price! I'll say it again: you want to break up? Fine! Pay back every penny I spent on you during this time! Otherwise... Lu Feifei... I happen to have recordings of us doing the deed... Don't force me to send them out to everyone!"

Having completely dropped all pretenses, Zhao Yang discarded any lingering restraint and blurted out every threatening word he could muster.

"You... you recorded us? When?!" Lu Feifei asked in shock. No such memory existed in her mind; she only vaguely recalled a couple of times Zhao Yang tried to film things with his phone, but she had stopped him each time.

"Ha! Would I let you know? If I didn't keep an ace up my sleeve when dating a woman like you, I'd have been sold off somewhere without even knowing it! Anyway, think it over carefully! Either continue being my girlfriend... or... hehe!"

As Zhao Yang stood there sneering, a large hand suddenly closed around his throat. Before he could react, Qin Anyi had already reached out, pulled Zhao Yang's phone from his pocket, and casually flipped through it. Sure enough, he found several hardcore, explicit videos stored on the device.

Qin Anyi shook his head helplessly. Even if this Zhao Yang had any cleverness, it was severely limited—to actually leave such things sitting so openly on his phone...

"Though I personally don't have any strong prejudices against either of you, using something like this to threaten a woman is far too despicable. So, you'd better think carefully..." Qin Anyi said, gently tightening his grip on the phone. With a soft crunch, Zhao Yang's phone was crushed into powder.

"If you really leak those videos of you and Lu Feifei, then... think of Guo Qingyuan. I will make you lose absolutely everything. I advise you to delete everything related to this matter. That's the smart choice to make."

Zhao Yang never expected Qin Anyi to meddle in this affair. Hearing Guo Qingyuan's name drained the color instantly from his face, and he suddenly remembered that the young man standing before him was far more than just someone who could fight...

Even Guo Qingyuan, the widely acknowledged prince of the school's inner circle, had been ruined by Qin Anyi. This Qin Anyi's background... was terrifyingly mysterious!

Qin Anyi wasn't trying to help Lu Feifei out of any noble motive; he simply couldn't stand men who acted with such utter shamelessness.

"Fine, Lu Feifei! No wonder you suddenly insisted on breaking up with me... So the two of you hooked up behind my back! Hehe, Yang Yang, you'd better watch out. This woman Lu Feifei has endless tricks to seduce men. Practically no man she sets her sights on can escape her clutches!"

Though he felt a lingering fear toward Qin Anyi, Zhao Yang's pride refused to let him back down completely. He glared first at Qin Anyi, then at Lu Feifei, and spat out those venomous words.

"Zhao Yang! What are you saying? You're judging others by your own petty standards! Get out of here right now! My home doesn't welcome you!" Hearing those words, Lu Feifei appeared furious on the surface, while secretly rejoicing inside. Though there had been a few bumps along the way, the result had ultimately converged on the desired outcome.

"Fine! I'm leaving! A pair of shameless adulterers! Yang Yang, don't say I didn't warn you! Hmph!" Zhao Yang let out a cold snort, grabbed the jewelry box, and stormed out of Lu Feifei's apartment without looking back.

"I'm... I'm so sorry. I never expected things to turn out like this," Lu Feifei forced a smile. "I just thought... even if we broke up, we could still remain friends. Who would have guessed... who would have guessed Zhao Yang would turn out to be such scum?"

"Feifei, don't be sad. A guy like that isn't worth it," a young woman comforted her.

"Exactly. Don't worry, Feifei, just ignore Zhao Yang. If he really dares to leak those so-called videos, I'll finish him," the other male friend chimed in.

"Thank you... thank you all. Let's call it a night here... I... I suddenly lost my appetite. I'm so sorry," Lu Feifei said with a strained expression.

"No worries, we'll head back first. In a few days, after you've recovered, we can make it up to you and celebrate your birthday properly."

Lu Feifei's friends echoed agreement with one another, then stood up and left her apartment.

Qin Anyi grabbed Yang Cheng, just about to follow the others out, when Lu Feifei called out to stop him.

"Anyi, can you... can you stay for a moment?"

"Still something else?" Qin Anyi asked, maintaining basic politeness.

Watching the others step out through her front door, Lu Feifei put on an apologetic expression and said, "Yang Yang, can I borrow your boyfriend for a second? I'm so sorry about what just happened, and I want to clear things up with him alone."

"Oh, it's fine. I'll wait for you outside. Feifei, don't overthink it. A man like Zhao Yang isn't worth it," Yang Cheng said with naive obedience before actually walking out and pulling the door shut behind her.

Qin Anyi shook his head inwardly. Yang Cheng's kind-hearted nature made her far too easy to take advantage of.

"Anyi... I'm sorry. Please don't take to heart what Zhao Yang said. I truly had no idea he was that kind of person," Lu Feifei said as she closed the front door. Suddenly, she covered her face with her hands and burst into a storm of pearly tears...
