Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 44

Su Yu was puzzled but still nodded: “Yes, what’s wrong?”

Father Su and Mother Su exchanged uncomfortable glances before hesitating for a moment and finally speaking up. “We heard that the boy’s family conditions are not very good?”

Su Yu looked at them without saying a word.

Father Su hurried to explain: “Of course, it’s not that we think he’s bad. Being able to get into S University as the top student, he must be exceptional.”

“It’s just… without parental support, it will be difficult for him to move up in the world. In this society, enduring hardships together is easier than enjoying blessings together. If you stay with him, who knows what might happen in the future? People’s hearts are unpredictable, and we’re just afraid you’ll suffer.”

Su Yu knew they were thinking about her best interests.

“But he’s really good to me, and… besides, I didn’t have parents before either, and he never looked down on me…”

Mr. and Mother Su’s hearts clenched painfully at that, finding it hard to breathe.

In the end, it was all their fault.

“Things are different now,” Father Su said. “You’re our precious daughter, and we can’t bear to see you suffer. We just want to give you the best.”

Mother Su held back tears as she tried to reason with her: “That boy’s family conditions are poor. If you stay together, will you still eat cheap street food like before? Or will you end up using your own money to support him?”

It’s not that street food is bad—it’s just a metaphor. In essence, the two of them already belonged to different social classes.

“Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, neither of you will feel comfortable. Rather than suffering later, it’s better to end things now while you still can.”

“There are plenty of successful young men from families we do business with. I think that Li Heng is nice—we know him well and your father and I would feel at ease.”

Father Su was afraid that she would think too much.

“We’re not forcing you, just talking openly. You’re grown up now and can make your own decisions. If you really like him, we won’t stand in your way.”

Su Yu didn’t respond immediately. She lowered her eyes as if in thought.

After a brief silence, she raised her head. “Thanks, Mom and Dad. I understand. I’ll think it over carefully. Could you give me some time?”

Back in her room, Su Yu lay on her soft bed, excitement bubbling as she rolled around, unable to stop smiling.

【I was just thinking about how to break up, and now a perfect excuse just landed in my lap!】

【This world is unbelievably smooth sailing. The male lead is so easy to win over—upright and gentle. Unlike the last world, where he was cold and obsessive. After we break up, he definitely won’t cling too much.】

That last world was just an exception!

In an instant, Su Yu was filled with confidence for this mission.

That evening, after pretending to think for a long time, Su Yu sent a message to Qi Huaizhi.

—Let’s break up.

Nothing more, just that. Then, she deleted him from her contacts.

The next second, Qi Huaizhi called.

Su Yu hung up.

He continued to call again, and she declined again.

After three tries, Su Yu finally picked up leisurely.

Qi Huaizhi’s voice was hurried, breathless: “Xiao Yu, what was that message about? Why did you delete my contact? What happened?”

Su Yu didn’t respond, resting her chin in her hand as she silently counted in her head.

Qi Huaizhi’s voice grew visibly more frantic. “Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu? Say something!”

“Did something happen? We can work it out together. Don’t keep it to yourself. Don’t do anything reckless, Xiao Yu?”

“Where are you? I’ll come find you!”

There were faint sounds of rustling on the other end as Qi Huaizhi hurried to get ready.

“Huaizhi.”

At the count of ten, Su Yu finally spoke slowly.

Qi Huaizhi exhaled deeply in relief. “Xiao Yu, what’s going on? Why do you want to break up suddenly?”

Su Yu tilted her head, her voice soft and gentle: “Do I really need a reason? Can’t I just want to break up?”

Qi Huaizhi froze.

Su Yu’s voice was light: “Qi Huaizhi, I don’t like you anymore. Let’s break up. Don’t pester me. I don’t want things to get ugly.”

Qi Huaizhi was at a loss. “But why all of a sudden… Did I do something wrong to make you angry? If I did, I can change…”

Su Yu cut him off. “Huaizhi, you’re smart. You should understand what I’m saying.”

Su Yu spoke softly: “Let’s just leave it at that. We shouldn’t contact each other anymore.”

With that, she hung up and blocked his number.

The system was baffled: 【That’s it?】

That’s not even harsh!

Su Yu, resting her chin on her hand, feigned innocence: 【What’s the rush? This is just the appetizer. Believe me, Qi Huaizhi will definitely come looking for me. Some things are better said in person.)

…

The sky was overcast, heavy clouds looming on the horizon.

Su Yu was in her dorm studying. She had an exam tomorrow and was cramming last minute to avoid having to retake it next semester.

Just then, her phone lit up. Curiously, she glanced at it—a strange number?

“Hello?”

“Su yu, It’s me.” Qi Huaizhi said softly.

Su Yu hung up immediately. She let him keep calling without picking up or declining, watching as the call ended on its own and then started again.

Zhao Manman was curious. “Xiao Yu, who’s calling? Why aren’t you answering?”

Su Yu smiled: “Oh, just a spam call. Some sales pitch.”

“Ah.” Zhao Manman didn’t think much of it.

Eventually, when he realized there was no hope, the calls stopped. Qi Huaizhi switched to texting.

—Su Yu, I’m downstairs. Let’s meet and talk. I can’t accept breaking up without any reason. If I did something wrong, at least give me a chance to explain.

—Just one meeting. If you still want to break up after, I won’t stop you.

—Please give me a chance, okay?

—Su Yu, say something.

The male lead’s increasing frustration was clear, and Su Yu almost felt bad for him.

【Sigh, we’re all just working here. male lead, please understand my situation.】 Su Yu thought, pretending to be sympathetic.

Jin Yueyao, who was on the balcony hanging up clothes, glanced downstairs and froze. “Hey, is that Qi Huaizhi down there? What’s he doing? Is he waiting for you?”

Su Yu and Bai Luo both looked over.

Jin Yueyao rolled her eyes. “Bai Luo, I called Xiao Yu, not you. Why are you so excited?”

Bai Luo looked flustered and stammered: “I wasn’t…”

Just then, there was a sudden rumble from outside.

The weather in summer is like a child’s face, changing as soon as it changes. With the thunder, raindrops fell down and poured down heavily in an instant.

Su Yu paused mid-step, her expression strange.

【Is this some dog-blood cliché where it always rains during breakups?】

The male lead just got downstairs, and it started raining—what was this?

【Setting the mood for sadness? Laying the groundwork for the drama to come? Mirroring the male lead’s inner turmoil? Hinting at a tragic end?】

Su Yu caught herself analyzing the scene like a literature assignment and shook her head hard to get rid of those thoughts.

The real answer was—

To make the male lead look more pathetic, so the female lead feels sorry for him, and so I, the heartless ex, get judged!

System: 【You don’t get it. This is the male lead’s special halo. Ordinary people don’t get this kind of privilege.】
