Chapter 134: As If Approaching Hell
Jiang Yingxue looked at everyone present, her beautiful eyes swirling with many emotions.
The classmates from before, her best girlfriends, turned out to be even more power-hungry and realistic than she had imagined.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yingxue turned to Lin Mo, her gaze no longer just apologetic but also filled with helplessness and self-blame,
"I'm sorry, Lin Mo, the people here are my peers and of the same generation, some even seven or eight years older than you, but the teacher really did not expect that their age hasn't brought them much life experience, nor has it made their hearts broader and humbler."
"Instead, it has made them even more realistic and indifferent, and even now, they still look down on you."
"Even after you had already shown to be at least ten times better than Zhong Yuchen in many aspects, they still ridiculously value status and money so much!"
Lin Mo stood with his hands in his pockets, yet his face was calm, and he spoke softly,
"In fact, this world has never been short of people who judge others superficially."
Seeing Lin Mo's indifferent starry eyes, Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but admire him, and she found her classmates and girlfriends even more laughable.
A group of people older than Lin Mo, with more experiences and social exposure than Lin Mo.
Yet, they treated someone younger with such disdain, mockery, and arrogance.
"Let's go."
Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, his upright stature poised amidst the misty half-slope of Yangjing Mountain.
Jiang Yingxue watched and felt an indescribable sense of dominance.
As if he were a ruler above all, a god of the Nine Heavens.
As for Yue Hongxin.
As the second person in the crowd who had previously looked down on Lin Mo the most, like Zhong Yuchen, her face had been metaphorically swollen by Lin Mo's prior actions.
But in the end, she still sided with Zhong Yuchen.
She clenched her teeth tightly, telling herself,
"Impossible! There is no way Lin Mo could afford a villa worth two billion!"
Taking a deep look at Lin Mo, Yue Hongxin's cold laughter grew even stronger,
"Lin Mo, I admit you surprised me earlier, but to think, you would fabricate such an outrageous lie for the sake of saving face!"
"Wait and see. When this so-called dream crumbles, Yingxue will realize what a hypocritical swindler, trash, scumbag you really are!"
She not only wanted to see the scene where everyone despised Lin Mo, but she also wanted to prove that leaving the poor boy who loved her deeply for money and fame was the right choice!
No matter how outstanding or capable, what's the use without money? How can you talk about love? Was it to maintain that pitiable, pathetic relationship with so-called true love?
Zhong Yuchen shared her mindset, waiting for the moment when Lin Mo's false mask was ripped away, Jiang Yingxue would be utterly heartbroken.
And when that time came, she would step in to brutally trample and teach Lin Mo a lesson, undoubtedly becoming a significant source of reliance in Jiang Yingxue's heart.
Come to think of it, he was actually rather grateful to Lin Mo now. He demonstrated excellence in every aspect, but unexpectedly, Lin Mo ended up being so foolish in the end, concocting such a gigantic lie.
Utterly idiotic!
Soon, a line of people followed behind Lin Mo and Jiang Yingxue, heading towards the villa district of Yangjing Mountain.
They were about five or six meters behind Lin Mo and Jiang Yingxue, chatting and chuckling coldly.
Before long, they were going to witness the moment the liar's lies were exposed, and just how desolate and sorrowful Jiang Yingxue would be!
Among the crowd, a few girls sneered the most intensely; they usually drove BMWs and wore designer clothes.
But their experiences were just like Yue Hongxin's.
In their eyes, there weren't so many fairy tales in the world; a poor boy could never give Cinderella the love and life she desired.
Two or three minutes later, everyone had arrived at the entrance of the Yangjing Mountain villa.
They stopped, but Lin Mo took out a key and walked forward.
Seeing this, the crowd's eyes widened in astonishment, and Zhong Yuchen's face was filled with a cold smirk.
"Hahaha... He must be insane, that kid definitely lost his mind!"
"This is a villa worth two billion, just imagine the esteemed status of someone who can live inside?"
"Just you wait, barging in like that, he's bound to be beaten to death by the owner with a stick!"
Yue Hongxin also couldn't help but sneer, turning to Jiang Yingxue:
"Yingxue, aren't you going to stop him?"
Jiang Yingxue didn't speak, nor did she attempt to stop Lin Mo; instead, she calmly watched his tall and distinguished figure walk towards the villa's gate.
"There are not that many fairy tales and beauties in the world, face some reality, Jiang Yingxue!"
"While the beautiful dreams in your heart haven't been completely shattered yet, there's still time to stop him!"
"If all of this is true, you'll know what despair and desolation taste like... you'll know..."
But in the next second, before she could finish her words, the ridicule and disdain on her face came to an abrupt end, replaced by horror, despair, and the feeling of facing an abyss, Hell!
It wasn't just her, Zhong Yuchen and everyone else seemed as though their hearts had been crushed by a heavy tank, showcasing that kind of despair and panic in full.
What did they see? Lin Mo easily unlocked the villa's door, and a maid came out from inside, greeting Lin Mo with the utmost respect, "Mr. Lin! Have you returned?"
Bang, bang, bang! Zhong Yuchen staggered backward five or six steps, holding his chest with one hand, violently spitting out three or four mouthfuls of fresh blood.
He was shocked, suffocated with anger!
As for Yue Hongxin, her eyes were like dead water, and she looked as if she'd just walked through Hell.
The alternation between life and death, as well as that despair and shock, were endlessly circulating and reincarnating in her eyes.
However, what occupied most of her gaze was jealousy.
An incredibly intense jealousy!
This love was the thing she envied the most in her entire life.
She couldn't stand it, she just couldn't accept it that with her youth and sensuality exchanged for fame and fortune, she had lost the most precious love and happiness.
But what about Jiang Yingxue? From the very beginning, she maintained her kindness and sincerity, never bowing down to the cruel reality, and now, she finally reaped the rewards, not only being with the man she loved but also possessing the most wonderful love in the world.
At this moment, Yue Hongxin's phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it, and it was her first love who was calling.
She wanted to reject the call, but in the end, she shakily answered, "Do... Do you need something?"
"Hongxin, next week is your birthday! Your birthday is on July 18th, I remember it clearly! It's been three years since you left me."
"I know, back then I wasn't capable enough for you, nor did I try hard enough, but now, things are different."
"Do you know? Three years! In these three years, I've finally made it! I've become one of the top ten outstanding young CEOs in Jiang City, and my annual income now exceeds ten billion. I finally have the qualifications to marry you!"
The youth spoke with great sincerity and excitement.
Yet, tears surged in Yue Hongxin's eyes as she burst into laughter, "Hahaha..."
Hearing Yue Hongxin crying and laughing, the young man was quite concerned, "Hongxin, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
"I'm... I'm fine."
Yue Hongxin tried hard to calm herself down, but her face had already become ludicrously pitiful, "I'm sorry, Ming Jie, I don't deserve you, I really don't! I will never be worthy of you for the rest of my life!"
If, back then, she had persisted for a while longer, if she hadn't compared herself with those girls, if she hadn't sold her body for a few hundred thousand...
Perhaps she would be the happiest, most joyful woman in the world right now, but some mistakes can only be made once, turning back is but vain hope, as distant as the horizon.
At this moment, she came to realize, compared to Jiang Yingxue, she was truly laughable to the skies!
As for the others, they too sat on the ground in demise and dejection. They had looked down on Lin Mo before, with all kinds of mockery, ridicule, and contempt.
However, in the end, they realized that compared to Lin Mo, they were nothing more than ants to a dragon!
And yet, they persistently antagonized and mocked that dragon which reigned supreme over everyone.
Watching as Lin Mo and Jiang Yingxue entered the villa, everyone felt in that moment that they were the most pathetic, most laughable people in the world.
