A Flaw in the Plan

The classmate’s words hit Chu Xinran like a sledgehammer.

She blinked, her expression full of confusion, mirroring the turmoil in her heart.

Why could she understand every word, but not the meaning when they were strung together?

What announcement?

Did Fang Zhou make some significant move recently?

In Chu Xinran’s eyes, Fang Zhou’s biggest issue lately should be his sister’s illness.

What else could he announce?

Speaking of which, Chu Xinran felt quite guilty.

Her kidney couldn’t match Fang Wenzheng’s, so she couldn’t help him.

Seeing Chu Xinran’s stiff smile and evident confusion, the classmate was surprised.

“Don’t you know? It was all over Weibo a few days ago. Fang Zhou announced his girlfriend!”

The classmate spoke with great enthusiasm, as if she had witnessed it herself.

Chu Xinran’s first reaction was to shake her head.

She didn’t believe it.

She immediately took a step back, looking at the classmate warily, “You’re lying. How could that be?”

How could Fang Zhou have the energy to date a new girlfriend?

Besides, didn’t they already understand each other’s feelings?

She was still hoping to be with Fang Zhou again.

Could it be that the happy times they spent together meant nothing to Fang Zhou?

Seeing Chu Xinran’s disbelief, the classmate patted her chest, asserting her honesty.

“Come on, Xinran, don’t you trust me? Let me show you.”

She pulled out her phone and quickly searched for “Fang Zhou and Qin Yun.”

The top result was the biggest news from a few days ago.

It was Fang Zhou’s announcement on Weibo, with over a million comments, indicating its huge popularity.

Even though Weibo’s numbers could be inflated, it at least showed that many netizens were aware of it.

The classmate blinked, puzzled, and looked at Chu Xinran in surprise, “You really didn’t know?”

How could she not know such big news?

Especially since Chu Xinran was Fang Zhou’s ex-girlfriend. How could she be unaware?

Her information was too outdated!

Before the classmate could recover, she noticed Chu Xinran’s breathing had become heavier, her exhalations and inhalations much louder than before.

Clearly, her emotions were in turmoil.

Looking up, she saw Chu Xinran’s delicate face had turned pale, like a fragile porcelain doll about to shatter.

The classmate suddenly worried about Chu Xinran’s health, regretting that she had shared the news.

She quickly reached out to support Chu Xinran, asking softly, “Xinran, are you okay? Don’t get upset. There are plenty of men out there!

With your looks, figure, and financial status, you can find any man you want. Don’t dwell on this one…”

As the classmate continued to comfort her, Chu Xinran couldn’t hear a word.

Her mind buzzed as if thousands of insects were screaming.

She couldn’t think, as if the insects were gnawing away at her sanity.

Only one voice remained, repeating: Fang Zhou doesn’t want you anymore. Fang Zhou is with someone else. He will never love you again.

Chu Xinran felt cold from the inside out.

Every muscle, every bone felt like it was filled with ice, making her shiver, even her teeth chattering.

Under the classmate’s gaze, Chu Xinran slowly crouched down, curling into a ball.

She covered her head with her hands, shaking and muttering, “No! It’s impossible. I don’t believe it. He wouldn’t do this!”

Chu Xinran’s abnormal behavior caught the attention of her assistant and driver. They exchanged glances and hurried over to check on her.

“Miss, are you okay? What’s wrong?”

Hearing the assistant’s question, the classmate panicked, raising her hands to show she did nothing wrong.

“I really didn’t do anything. I just told her some news. I didn’t expect this reaction.

Oh my god! Should we take her to the hospital?”

To the three of them, Chu Xinran was trembling severely, as if thrown into an ice cave.

But it was early autumn, and the autumn tiger was still raging.

Everyone was wearing short sleeves, so how could she feel cold?

Unless she had psychological issues or a physical problem.

The assistant’s heart sank, feeling a sense of foreboding.

He stared at the classmate and asked in a low voice, “What news did you tell her?”

The classmate showed him the Weibo post, “Just this.”

She had no idea the news would hit Chu Xinran so hard.

She seemed gentle and smart, so how could she become so obsessed with love?

The assistant’s face turned pale.

He didn’t expect that just meeting a classmate and exchanging a few words would reveal the news Madam had instructed them to keep secret.

A flaw in the plan!

What should he do now?

The assistant was dumbfounded, never having seen Chu Xinran like this.

He had heard rumors that she might have some psychological issues, but she was supposed to be almost recovered.

But what was this situation now? Who could explain it to him?

“Miss, are you okay? Should we go back to the hotel and talk?”

The assistant tried to keep his voice steady, extremely gentle, attempting to communicate with Chu Xinran.

However, he received only silence.

Clearly, Chu Xinran was immersed in her own world, refusing to communicate with the outside.

“During this time, you are responsible for monitoring Xinran’s activities. Report any abnormalities to me immediately.”

Recalling the chairman’s repeated instructions, the assistant shivered.

If she found out her daughter was in trouble, who knew how she would deal with him.

The assistant was both anxious and scared but didn’t dare to hide anything.

He couldn’t delay any longer and signaled the driver to watch Chu Xinran.

Then he ran out to the corridor to call Chu Xuan. He really didn’t know what to do!
