Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 521 - 478: Is There More to the Story? (Bonus Update 31/31)
"Hehe, there’s nothing between us that we can’t talk about. I don’t mind you laughing at me, I’m really conflicted right now..."
Suddenly, Li Wentao picked up his wine glass again, and after taking a big gulp, gave a self-mocking bitter smile.
Then he looked at the two of them.
Seeing his demeanor, Lin Yi and Li Huiqun both put down their glasses and slightly frowned.
This guy usually doesn’t talk about his problems, he keeps things to himself.
The fact that he’s speaking up today means this matter is definitely not simple.
And clearly, he’s probably been holding this in for quite some time.
Not knowing who to talk to about what’s on his mind, maybe that’s why he thought of using the influence of alcohol today to talk to his two best brothers.
Seeing the two put down their glasses, Li Wentao continued:
"We’re indeed fighting again, but I feel like I did nothing wrong..."
Listening to his seemingly irrelevant words, Lin Yi and the other were a bit confused, not understanding what he wanted to say.
But neither of them spoke up, quietly listening.
True to form, Li Wentao started to recount the story:
"We met on the day of university registration, we were in the same class.
The moment I saw her I liked her.
And somehow, I had the courage to confess to her right then and there.
Hehe, thinking back on it now, it still feels a bit unbelievable.
Maybe I was influenced by that crazy move of yours, boss."
Lin Yi naturally knew that his so-called crazy move referred to his pursuit of Xiao Zihan before graduation.
You know, that event was quite the sensation back then, shocking the entire school.
Lin Yi was like the school heartthrob at the time, yet he went after the school’s number one unattractive girl. But soon, that unattractive girl stunned everyone by transforming into a super campus beauty.
Even novels wouldn’t dare write such a tale! Yet it appeared right before everyone’s eyes
This made many guys idolize Lin Yi and started a ’treasure hunt’ trend, where they turned their attention toward those who were once overlooked!
Perhaps affected by Lin Yi’s flair, Li Wentao confessed to his crush on the first day of school.
"Then, for a while, I pursued her crazily, you could say, thoroughly learned your shameless spirit, boss, haha."
Hearing this, Lin Yi grumbled and raised his glass in salute:
"Go, go, go, just talk about your stuff, don’t drag me into everything, okay?
Besides, do you even hear what you’re saying? Shameless? What I did was..."
However, before Lin Yi could finish, Li Huiqun indignantly interrupted:
"Seriously, Taozi, what are you even saying? Not to be blunt, but calling the boss shameless?? That’s twisting his words. Let me tell you, the boss is audaciously brazen. Know that? To meet such an audaciously brazen person with that level of brazenness! Hehe!"
"Oh, come on, brazenly audacious my foot, that doesn’t sound better than shameless. Enough, enough. Don’t mock me, continue."
The three clinked their glasses and took a sip of wine, focusing again on Li Wentao, waiting for him to continue.
Of course, after hearing Li Wentao’s account, they thought it was just a typical start of a college romance, right?
Sure enough, Li Wentao’s narration followed what they expected:
"Then, with my persistence, I brought her breakfast every day, took her to lunch.
At night, I’d personally walk her back to the dormitory. When I had free time, I’d crack sunflower seeds for her, knit her a scarf, stuff like that..."
Yet, as Li Wentao continued, the two of them started to feel speechless, how does this sound more and more like a love-struck fool?
Though both thought it, neither spoke up.
After all, this wasn’t the time to undermine him; they should let him finish his story first.
"Wouldn’t you say I’ve done all this, haven’t I been good to her? I feel like I’ve done everything I can."
His account was indeed long, took a full ten minutes to explain the story between him and that girl.
Yet, to the two of them, it purely seemed like a story of an unrequited love.
Even if Li Wentao seemed quite the fool, according to his story, the girl was genuinely good to him.
They had even opened a joint bank account, agreeing to deposit their leftover living expenses and small income every month.
According to the girl, this card was for their startup fund after graduation.
They might use the money for small businesses later.
Hearing this, even Lin Yi had to commend the girl, she was willing to go this far, shows Li Wentao’s love-struck efforts weren’t in vain; there was at least some return.
However, as they thought this, Li Wentao’s mood darkened even further.
Later, he drank several more glasses of wine continuously, causing Lin Yi and the other’s eyebrows to furrow slightly:
"Isn’t this good? Even if you’re somewhat love-struck, at least she sincerely dated you. It’s not easy to find such a girl."
But after hearing Lin Yi’s comment, Li Wentao just gave a self-deprecating shake of his head:
"Hehe, I thought so at first too.
We mapped out our future so well, planning to get the marriage certificate after graduation and work hard together.
But it was all an illusion! She was a liar! It was all an act!"
This made the two of them pause in shock, was there more to the story?
