Jiang Yao's words were like daggers stabbing into Wen Xuehui's heart, hurting her deeply.
"You do not have to go to Li Ronghui's hometown with me. The next time you see him again, tell him that your father is planning to retire early and does not want to accept students anymore. Let's see what he has to say then." Jiang Yao tugged lightly on Wen Xuehui's shirt. "Li Ronghui is a heartless and egotistical guy. He does not deserve you at all. You might feel devastated now, but trust me, it will all but pass. We have not known each other for long, Xuehui, but I really want you to know that you are my best friend and I will not let you suffer!"
Tears streamed down Wen Xuehui's face. Biting her lips, her response was somewhat muted.
"What do I do, Jiang Yao? I feel so pathetic." Wen Xuehui grabbed onto her chest. "I feel like my heart is splitting apart."
She believed Jiang Yao completely. Still, she could not believe that the senior she had a huge crush on was such a dreadful guy.
In her mind, Li Ronghui was a young man with a warm smile and a caring heart. He was well-spoken and well-mannered, and despite coming from a poor background, he was hardworking and determined to work his way up.
Li Ronghui had been an angel to her during this period where she had had feelings for him.
Jiang Yao cradled Wen Xuehui gently. She could empathize with Wen Xuehui because she knew what it felt like to lose a loved one.
"You will feel better once you move on," Jiang Yao said. "There are so many more great guys out there that deserve you. Hey, do you want me to introduce you to a few of them? What do you think of the guy that came over that day to give me my cell phone? His name is Zhou Weiqi and he is one of my husband's best buddies. He is funny, a graduate from Jindo Military Academy, and is now working at the Jindo Industrial and Commercial Bureau!"
"Nah, he looks like a player!" Wen Xuehui broke into a smile.
