Chapter 1438: Let's Break Up

"Then I'll go buy popcorn."

She then produced a box of popcorn and two cups of cola as if by magic: "I've already bought them all."

Zichen frowned: "How can I let you spend money? You're a girl." At first, he hadn't thought of Gu Yuxin as a girl, but now that she was his girlfriend, she was naturally a girl.

Gu Yuxin: "Why not? Are you discriminating against women too?"

Sheng Zichen:...

He indicated that he wasn't discriminating against women, but when a girl goes out with a boy, the boy should naturally spend the money, and his girlfriend shouldn't have to spend money at all.

Gu Yuxin disagreed, saying that this kind of thinking of his was discrimination against women.

What kind of society is this now?

If women demand equal status, it must be reflected in every aspect.

Dating is a matter for two people, so the expenses incurred shouldn't be borne by just one person.

Sheng Zichen disagreed, saying it wasn't much money anyway...

The two of them argued and lost track of time; by the time they realized it and entered the screening room, the movie had already started for ten minutes.

Gu Yuxin had bought two tickets for an animated film!

The people sitting around them were basically all parents with their children.

The child sitting to their left suddenly let out a "waa" and started crying while watching.

"I want to eat popcorn, I want to eat popcorn..."

The child's parents hadn't bought any when they came in, and the child was already unhappy; then, upon entering, they found that everyone else had popcorn, but he didn't.

Finally unable to hold it in, he started throwing a tantrum right there in the cinema.

Gu Yuxin handed over her popcorn: "Here you go, little one."

"Oh my, this is so embarrassing, I'll go out and buy him some." The child's mother wanted to go out.

But by this time the child had stopped crying and said thank you crisply: "Thank you, pretty sister." After thanking her, he started eating.

The mother felt even more embarrassed and wanted to pay her for the popcorn; Gu Yuxin pointed at the screen and made a shushing gesture with her index finger against her lips, meaning don't talk, don't disturb others.

It was just such a small gesture, yet she didn't expect to be spotted by someone else.

Lu Feifei was also sitting in this screening room.

When the two of them walked in just now, she thought that man looked like Zichen, but the screening room was too dark to see clearly.

And just now when the child was crying, a beam of light from the screening room hit them; although it was very brief, she still saw clearly that the two were Zichen and Gu Yuxin!

Enemies often cross paths; she never thought she'd run into them here.

Her fingernails dug fiercely into her palms, and her teeth nearly bit her lower lip until it bled.

In order not to leave a scar on her forehead, Lu Feifei had spent all her money.

Next month's living expenses were already a problem.

She had found a job as a tutor; the child's parents were very busy, and today was the weekend, so they had entrusted her to take the child out to see a movie, and she just happened to see Sheng Zichen and Gu Yuxin at the cinema.

When rivals meet, they are exceptionally jealous.

For the rest of the time, she didn't take in what was playing at all, only staring at the backs of their heads.

The movie ended, and the lights came on bright.

People stood up and began to walk out one after another.

There were too many people on the scene, so Zichen took the opportunity to take Gu Yuxin's hand.

This was the first time the two had held hands, and their hearts were pounding like little deer, beating violently.

Neither of them noticed Lu Feifei behind them, and she didn't want to be discovered by them, so she sat in her seat and didn't move.

But the child beside her wouldn't have it and was in a hurry to leave: "Hurry up and go, everyone else has already left."

Lu Feifei was in a foul mood, and her tone wasn't good either: "Wait, what's the rush?"

The child had grown up being pampered by his parents at home, and his mom and dad couldn't bear to scold him even once; now that he was being scolded by his tutor, he immediately flew into a rage: "Lu Feifei, how dare you scold me? I'll have my dad fire you!"

Lu Feifei?

Gu Yuxin had already reached the door, and upon suddenly hearing this name, she immediately turned her head to look; sure enough, it was Lu Feifei, no mistake.

Very good, she hadn't settled the score for the last incident yet, and now she had run into her here!

At the same time, Zichen also noticed.

He pulled Gu Yuxin, wanting to leave, but she wouldn't go: "Leave for what? I'm waiting for that woman to come over so we can get things straight."

"Forget it, she won't bother you again in the future."

The reason Zichen had let her off easily last time was because Lu Feifei had promised never to lay a hand on Gu Yuxin again, and he had photos of her sitting in the car, with ironclad evidence, so she wouldn't dare to make a move again.

"She says she won't, so she won't? You trust her that much?" Gu Yuxin was very dissatisfied with Zichen's attitude, and she said to Sheng Zichen: "If you feel awkward staying here, you can go first."

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Lu Feifei had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring the child over.

She wanted to brush past them, but her arm was grabbed by Gu Yuxin: "Lu Feifei, do you think that by pretending not to see me, you can fool people and hide the bad things you've done?"

"What are you spouting? I don't understand, let go of me, or I'll call for help." She had a guilty conscience and was eager to get away.

But she had threatened the wrong person.

If Lu Feifei had spoken softly, admitted her mistake, and begged for mercy, perhaps Gu Yuxin would have let her go.

But she wanted to try and fool her?

No way in hell.

"Call for help? Fine, go ahead and call!"

Lu Feifei didn't want to call anyone over at all; she just wanted to leave this place immediately, so she struggled hard to break free from her hand and even begged Zichen for mercy.

"Zichen, you promised you wouldn't pursue this; you have to keep your word."

Zichen:...

The way she said that made it sound as if the two of them had conspired in secret, but that was not the case at all.

Now was not the time for explanations; the important thing was to separate the two of them first.

Zichen said to his girlfriend, "Yuxin, let go of her first, I will explain it to you."

"Explain? Isn't the matter already very clear? What else is there to explain?"

Gu Yuxin was furious, and Lu Feifei was anxious; she wanted to leave quickly and get away from this "place of trouble."

The harder she struggled to break free, the tighter Gu Yuxin pulled; the commotion soon alerted the movie theater's Security Guard, who separated the two.

"Miss, do you need help?"

"This woman is a lunatic; she's grabbing me and won't let me leave," Lu Feifei said, accusing her first.

"Call the police, call the police!"

Gu Yuxin was too angry to let it go and insisted on calling the police.

Who was the lunatic and who was the villain would be perfectly clear once they got to the police station.

"Zichen, help me, please help me; I can't go to the police station. I'm currently tutoring a child, and if I end up at the police station, I'll lose this job. My whole life will be ruined, and I won't be able to go on living..."

Lu Feifei was trembling with fear; she did not want to go to the police station.

The scene of her crashing into the tree last time, all bloody, was still fresh in his mind; Sheng Zichen could not stand by and watch her die.

"Yuxin, stop making a scene."

Zichen grabbed Gu Yuxin in a hug, and Lu Feifei took the opportunity to run away.

"Sheng Zichen, let go of me, let go!" Gu Yuxin's gaze was cold, filled with resentment.

He let go, but Lu Feifei had already run off until she was out of sight.

"Sheng Zichen, let's break up; let's just pretend we never started."

Before her tears could fall, she turned and walked away.
