Chapter 647 - 228: In this world, there is nothing that money can’t do
Chu Yanyan was exasperated by the persistent harassment. She had clearly rejected Yin Sheng multiple times, but he always found some excuse to approach her, constantly acting as if he were her boyfriend. If that were the only issue, she could have just blocked and deleted him. The key problem was that Yin Sheng’s father was a professor at the university—her own department professor, in fact. She was terrified that offending him would prevent her from graduating...
Just as Chu Yanyan was thinking about how to dodge Yin Sheng’s pestering like she always did, a faint sneer suddenly reached her ears.
"Hey, buddy. Shamelessly clinging to a girl like that is pretty disgraceful, don’t you think?"
Yin Sheng had noticed Li Yuan long before this. Or rather, he paid attention to every single boy who appeared near Chu Yanyan. His gaze fell on Li Yuan, who was holding hands with Xia Zhijin and looking completely at ease. Yin Sheng’s brow furrowed slightly.
"What does what’s between Yanyan and me have to do with you? Who do you think you are?"
Li Yuan chuckled. "She’s my cousin. Who do you think *I* am?"
Since Chu Yanyan was Xia Zhijin’s cousin, that made her his cousin too, so naturally, he had to step in and defend her.
Hearing that Li Yuan was Chu Yanyan’s "brother," Yin Sheng’s expression softened slightly, but his tone remained aggressive.
"My feelings for Yanyan are sincere. Go on, ask your sister, is there any guy in this entire university who treats her better than I do?"
Li Yuan was speechless. He shook his head and said, "Dude, if you want to win a girl over, you should use your charm to attract her, not shamelessly hound her. A relationship has to come from both sides. If she likes you, she likes you; if she doesn’t, she doesn’t. You can’t force things. Your incessant pestering has already caused my cousin a great deal of distress. Be smart and stop making a fool of yourself before you lose all face."
Yin Sheng let out a dry laugh, his brow furrowed as he stared at Li Yuan. "Are you threatening me?"
"If you want to see it that way, I have no problem with it," Li Yuan replied coolly.
Yin Sheng clapped his hands as if he had just heard the funniest thing in the world. He scoffed, "Great. Just great. In my entire life, this is the first time anyone has ever dared to threaten me. You know, you’ve got a lot of courage."
Li Yuan laughed, looking at him as if he were an idiot. What era does this guy think he’s living in? He had already secretly activated his phone’s recording function. With a smirk, he looked at Yin Sheng and said, "Oh? I’d love to see what you could possibly do to us. Are you going to act with impunity and force my cousin to be your girlfriend?"
I’m almost certain now. In my past life, Chu Yanyan’s suicide was very likely because of this man. Judging by his arrogant tone, he must have some backing, probably within the university, that gives him leverage over her. In my previous life, I saw so much news like this online—stories about beautiful university students being exposed for having been coerced... forcibly. Some might have swallowed their pride and endured it in silence. But others, like Chu Yanyan, would resist fiercely, choosing to jump from a building rather than submit.
Li Yuan put on an expression of disdain as he watched Yin Sheng, curious to see if he was really that stupid.
Perhaps he was used to getting his way at the university, or perhaps he was provoked by Li Yuan’s disdainful look, because Yin Sheng threatened him directly.
"Kid, judging by your accent, you’re not from Modu, are you?"
Li Yuan smiled faintly. "I’m not. So what? Are you planning to get some guys to come beat me up?"
"It’s good that you’re self-aware," Yin Sheng sneered. "Remember this. This is Modu, and this is Tech University!"
"Ooh, I’m so scared!" Li Yuan shrugged. Seeing how arrogant Yin Sheng was, he was more than happy to lead him further into the trap. "It seems this senior has quite the background, so powerful he can disregard the law and force a girl against her will."
Li Yuan turned to Chu Yanyan. "Cousin, this senior is so impressive. Do you know what kind of background he has?"
Hearing Li Yuan’s words, Chu Yanyan figured he might also come from a powerful family and could stand up to Yin Sheng. Steeling herself, she decided to reveal the truth to stop Yin Sheng’s harassment for good.
"His dad is Yin Jie, a professor in our College of Electronic and Information Engineering."
Li Yuan instantly understood. So that’s it. This is probably why Chu Yanyan chose to commit suicide in her past life. Isn’t this just like the stories I read about online, happening right in front of me? This kind of thing isn’t rare at universities at all.
Li Yuan grinned. "So, you’re Professor Yin’s son. No wonder you were acting so domineering just now, trying to force her to be your girlfriend. Mr. Yin, if my cousin refuses to be your girlfriend, are you going to keep pestering her indefinitely?"
Yin Sheng’s brows twitched. He felt something was off about Li Yuan’s words. But at this point, the arrow was already on the string; backing down wasn’t in his nature. He frowned at Li Yuan, then turned back to Chu Yanyan, a deep, greedy look in his eyes.
"Yanyan, I really like you. Please, just agree to be my girlfriend."
Now that it had come to this, Chu Yanyan naturally rejected him firmly. "Yin Sheng, please don’t force me, okay?"
"There are plenty of girls at this school who are more outstanding and beautiful than I am. I just want to study hard, graduate without any trouble, and find a good job."
Seeing Chu Yanyan still refusing him, a nameless fury blazed in Yin Sheng’s heart. Ever since meeting her over two months ago, he had been utterly captivated, vowing to make her his.
