"What are you doing here?" Gu Min looked at Ban Dongyi, her expression somewhat unnatural. She subconsciously glanced at Ruan An, her eyes suddenly revealing a sense of indifference. Compared to the man she both loved and hated, Ban Dongyi, she preferred to be with Ruan An. In both spirit and material terms, the gap between the two was significantly different. Take Ban Dongyi, for instance; he was a top student, frequently winning scholarships and grants at school. As for Ruan An from Yuanyuan Trading Company, he was famously a poor student. If it weren't for his identity as the young master of Yuanyuan Trading Company, he might have been expelled from school long ago. Of course, in comparison, this academic discrepancy is somewhat biased. On a deeper level, it can be summed up in one sentence. Ban Dongyi, for love, could sacrifice everything for Gu Min. Ruan An, on the other hand, was simply playing with emotions. No matter what he said about risking everything, he couldn't even talk about it, let alone be willing to do it. This was the spiritual gap between them, not to mention material differences. In Ban Dongyi's household, life was barely above modest, so a luxurious lifestyle was nearly impossible. But as for Ruan An, luxury was boundless for him; after all, his family had abundant wealth, enough to sustain his extravagant spending for quite some time. One side pursued spiritual satisfaction, while the other pursued material satisfaction. When Gu Min faced the material satisfaction offered by Ruan An, she unhesitatingly abandoned her spiritual satisfaction, chasing after what she truly desired. In her own words, she would rather lead a wealthy yet heartbroken life than find happiness in poverty. "Why... why did you do such a thing?" Ban Dongyi stared intently at Gu Min, his eyes filled with deep disappointment and faint anger. Originally, he had just come out of the school's library, intending to return to his dormitory, but coincidentally noticed the commotion at the school gate. Curiosity led him over to take a look. It was with this glance that he saw the woman he had such mixed feelings for. After a mental struggle, he finally gritted his teeth and walked over. He always wanted to ask, why did she—this woman—betray him? Or, was her betrayal because the other party had money and he did not? Regardless of the outcome, he just wanted to get to the bottom of it, especially as this woman started seeing Ruan An three days into their relationship, concealing it from him for a long time. Thinking about those days under the moonlight on the rooftop, Ban Dongyi's face showed a self-mocking expression: "I just want to know, why did you betray me? Was it because of money?" He wanted to say it was tacky to talk about money, but in this era, what isn't tied to money? There are instances, but they're hard to encounter. Right timing, ideal location, and favorable conditions are all essential; evidently, Ban Dongyi didn't have such luck. Feelings are tied to money, just like clothing, food, shelter, and transportation are tied to money, and so on. It's a trend, a trend that continually pushes you forward. In the shadow cast by Gu Min, after calming down, Ban Dongyi thought of many things, so many that even he couldn't believe there were that many. Gu Min's lips curled into a mocking smile, her eyes suddenly fierce: "Do you know, what I used to pursue was the love perspective of a top student like you, but later, I realized my pursuit was wrong. Seeing the source of my girlfriends', relatives', and friends' flaunts, I realized how absurdly wrong I was!" Gu Min's voice suddenly rose: "Only money is what I pursue. Since you're already a pauper, you're destined to be a pauper for life!" "Since I was with you, have you ever bought me anything I wanted?!" "You didn't even buy me those little things, yet you dare to talk about your views on love in front of me?! And just when I was mad at you, my dear appeared..." Saying this, Gu Min's face showed the coyness of a little woman as she looked at Ruan An: "Whatever I wanted, he bought it for me. Not only that, but he pursued me, he confessed his love to me!" "Do you know how romantic that confession was?! How direct it was!" Upon hearing this, Ban Dongyi's face grew even more unsightly, and the light in his eyes dimmed. It seems this point really revealed the true nature of a person to him. As for the confession Gu Min mentioned, Ban Dongyi's lips curled into a sarcastic arc. The so-called confession wasn't adorned with flowers or scenic settings; instead, it was simple, or rather, direct. A bank card, a bank card with a million on it! When Ruan An threw his one-million-dollar bank card to Gu Min, she agreed to his confession without hesitation. From that moment, she became Ruan An's current girlfriend. However, Ban Dongyi, who saw through all this clearly, just shook his head. From what he heard about this Ruan An, this rich young man had already dated more than a dozen women, and from that time to when he pursued Gu Min, Ruan An had dated another dozen women in the school, all at the level of the School Beauty. From Ruan An's promiscuity, it was already a miracle that Gu Min managed to hold on this long. Upon hearing Gu Min mention this matter, Ban Dongyi's face instantly turned ugly: "Do you know what kinds of things you asked me to buy?!" "Various cosmetics, bought again and again without looking at the price, a total of over ten thousand yuan. Most of the money I earned from part-time jobs was spent on this." "Do you know how long it took you to spend such a large amount of money? Two days!" "And whenever we go out shopping or dining, you always choose those super high-end places, like having a meal at a top-tier mall, costs over a thousand and I don't even get to eat my fill!" "You also mentioned buying clothes two or three thousand each, and told me you want to buy them?!" "What makes me feel even more powerless is you actually want me to buy you a bag worth over thirty thousand yuan. Do you even know I can't afford that much?!" Ban Dongyi roared. His family was already short on money, and over the years, he had scraped together over thirty thousand in scholarships and stipends, but ever since he became Gu Min's boyfriend. This much money, in a short span of three days, was completely spent. In the midst of spending it all, Gu Min seemed to have realized and then sought another lover. Upon hearing Ban Dongyi's angry words, Gu Min suddenly started laughing, looking at Ban Dongyi, her eyes full of disdain: "Ban Dongyi, not to be harsh, but do you even deserve to have me?!" "Ever since I met my darling, he bought me that thirty thousand yuan bag I previously asked you to buy, and many other things too!" Gu Min's face carried an expression of arrogance: "I want you to know, even without your affection, I, Gu Min, will always be a Goddess pursued by many!" Just as Gu Min was speaking, a snicker broke out, instantly causing the atmosphere to shift slightly as everyone turned their sight over to find Hao Jian, who had a smile on his face, the laughter coming from him. Of course, this wasn't surprising. After all, these people were airing each other's dirty laundry in front of so many folks, and these were embarrassments one wouldn't know how to evaluate. At least in Hao Jian and his companions' eyes, these matters seemed incredibly childish — their words hinting at a lack of understanding of worldly rules. And this Ban Dongyi is really foolish, sacrificing so much for this inconsequential woman — it appears he's given everything. "What are you laughing at?!" Gu Min's face contorted in displeasure, glaring coldly at this guy. "Nothing, carry on, carry on..." Hao Jian shrugged, not planning to converse with Gu Min, instead turning to chat with Lin Qingxue and her companions, ignoring the gatekeeper. Ruan An cast a harsh look towards Hao Jian, giving a cold snort before ignoring him, because the current issue was to deal with this guy first. Facing Ban Dongyi, Ruan An mocked: "Ban Dongyi, don't say too much and don't debase my woman in front of me; what I choose to buy her is my freedom, and she has her choice, which proves to be correct because she chose me!" Speaking, Ruan An pulled Gu Min over with one arm, and she also let out a coquettish cry, leaning her face on Ruan An's chest, looking at Ban Dongyi with scorn. Ruan An smiled proudly at Ban Dongyi: "This is my woman, and it's the benefit of being wealthy; as for you poor wretch, you don't qualify for love!" After hearing this, Ban Dongyi's face turned very unsightly, yet in his eyes, there was a hint of relief, as this knot in his heart was finally unraveled. "Hey, kid, you've watched long enough, hurry up and get lost." After seeing Ban Dongyi saying nothing, Ruan An shifted his gaze to Hao Jian, still looking arrogant: "Because young master is in a good mood now, tonight's interruption of my path will be forgiven, now hurry up and get my car out!" "I don't understand what's with you poor wretches." Ruan An shook his head: "On regular days, not one is seen, but today so many show up, you poor wretches, you try to mimic others without any capability?" Within these few remarks, Hao Jian and his companions were thoroughly scolded; in his view, not dwelling on these matters today was magnanimous, though to Hao Jian and crew, it was utterly speechless. Hao Jian immediately chuckled coldly at Ruan An, laughing: "Seems young master really is addicted to the role of an heir!"
