Chapter 127: Not Just Stringing Along 2 Girls
Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Not Just Stringing Along 2 Girls
Sleepy Senior stared at the photo frame in Jenny’s hand, her brow furrowed with a hint of suspicion. "When did you and Carson start dating?"
"Carson Larkin and I got together after the National Day holiday the year before last," Jenny said.
"The National Day holiday the year before last?" Sleepy Senior’s expression turned grim. "Are you sure?"
Jenny had calmed down considerably. She said lightly, "I’m sure. I even posted about it on my Moments. You can add me, and I’ll show you."
Sleepy Senior pressed her lips together. After several seconds, she nodded. "Okay."
Jenny sent Sleepy Senior a private message with her WeChat QR code.
"Sleepy Senior, I just PM’d you. Add me on WeChat."
Sleepy Senior: "Okay."
Renee Jennings asked gently, "Sleepy Senior, so when you went on that blind date with Carson Larkin, you had no idea he had a girlfriend."
"Right," Sleepy Senior replied without hesitation. "We were set up by a relative. He told me he’d been single for three years and was so hurt by his ex that he was afraid to date again."
"Really?" Jenny lowered her gaze and gave a small, wry smile. "He said the same thing when he was pursuing me. He said I was special, that I made him believe in love again, and that he was confident we could grow old together."
Sleepy Senior’s eyelashes trembled, a look of shock spreading across her face. "He said the same thing when he confessed his feelings to me."
[Scumbag’s playbook!]
[Those poor girls. Didn’t you notice something was off when you were with him?]
[Yeah! How did he manage to date two girlfriends at the same time, keep in touch with them both every day, and not get caught?]
Jenny saw the audience’s comments and said with a bitter smile, "Because I trusted him completely. It never occurred to me that he would do anything to betray me, so I never looked at his phone."
"Me too," Sleepy Senior told everyone. "I always thought he was a wonderful, principled man. Otherwise, I never would have gone on a blind date with him over Chinese New Year and agreed to marry him on May Day."
[Men who are this good at pretending are the scariest.]
[I can’t even handle one girl, and this guy managed to date two at once without getting caught...]
Jenny and Sleepy Senior were now connected on WeChat.
Jenny made her entire Moments feed public.
Sleepy Senior saw that Jenny had made many Moments posts related to Carson Larkin.
If she hadn’t known the truth, she would have thought they were a very happy couple.
Of course, when Jenny made those posts, she was indeed filled with the sweet joy of documenting her happiness.
Now, however, those same posts seemed incredibly ironic.
Jenny’s eyes turned red again, her voice choked with sobs. "I’m just so heartbroken. To have the first relationship I poured my heart into end like this..."
’She thought she was going to marry Carson Larkin. That was why she had been working so hard to save money, hoping they could have a little home of their own when they got married. But she never imagined that while she was planning their future together, Carson Larkin was secretly going on blind dates, secretly getting engaged, and had even set a wedding date.’
[Hugs for Jenny!]
[My ex did something similar. If he doesn’t love you, say bye-bye. The next one will be better. Don’t be sad, girl!]
Seeing Jenny’s heartbroken expression, Renee Jennings’s eyes filled with sympathy. "Jenny, all the girls in the stream are worried about you."
Jenny sniffled, roughly wiping away her tears with her sleeve and smudging her makeup.
She looked at the stream comments through blurry eyes and managed a smile through her tears. "Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Renee. I feel so much better having you all here with me. This world really wouldn’t be the same without girls."
Sleepy Senior had just finished looking through Jenny’s Moments.
Returning to the livestream view, she looked at Jenny’s red, swollen eyes, and an apologetic expression appeared on her face. "Jenny, I’m so sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?" Renee asked.
Sleepy Senior explained, "I just looked at Jenny’s Moments, and I can tell she really loved her boyfriend. But my appearance affected their relationship, so I’m very sorry..."
"It wasn’t because of your appearance," Renee said in a gentle voice. "You’re a victim too. You didn’t know Carson Larkin had a girlfriend. The fault lies with him. He’s the one who should be apologizing."
Sleepy Senior said gratefully, "Host, thank you."
Renee Jennings smiled faintly. "Sleepy Senior, may I ask you a question?"
"You may."
"Will you cancel the wedding?"
Sleepy Senior nodded with a solemn expression. "I will. I don’t want an immoral man like him."
Renee then asked Jenny, "Will you break up with him?"
Jenny nodded forcefully. "Definitely! Carson Larkin is disgusting!"
Renee let out a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing in her bright, dark eyes. "Exactly. A man like that deserves to die alone."
Just when everyone thought the matter was coming to a close, another comment caught their attention.
[Rice Cake: Jenny, can I see a picture of the guy? I have a feeling he looks like the person I’m currently talking to...]
[What? So he wasn’t just stringing along two girls?]
[What gives him the right?]
[@ExpertPigRaiserJenny, Rice Cake wants to see the scumbag’s photo!]
Jenny saw the comment and quickly said, "Wait, I just threw the photo in the trash. Let me get it."
She picked the photo frame out of the trash can and held it up to her phone. "Can you see it?"
[Rice Cake: I see it. That’s really the guy I’m talking to.]
[Holy cow... Can I ask, what did you all see in him? He’s not even that handsome.]
[Some guys may be average-looking, but they’re smooth-talkers who know how to sweet-talk people. Plus, girls tend to be more emotional, so they gradually start to overlook a guy’s appearance.]
Seeing this, Renee Jennings frowned and asked, "Rice Cake, are you serious? Can you request to join the call?"
[Rice Cake: I’m serious! I didn’t see the photo before, but I heard his name, and it’s the same as the guy I’m talking to. Plus, he also has a Golden British Shorthair.]
[Rice Cake: I’ve requested to join.]
The stream split into four small screens. The bottom right one showed Rice Cake, who had just joined the call—a cute, big-eyed girl with straight bangs.
Renee Jennings looked at her and said softly, "Rice Cake, you’re very cute. Could you tell us your story with Carson Larkin?"
"Thank you for the compliment." Rice Cake smiled shyly. "Carson Larkin and I met at a tennis club. He proactively added me on WeChat, but we never chatted."
"Just when I was thinking about deleting him, he suddenly invited me to play tennis. I happened to be free that day, so I went. After that, we went out to eat, saw a movie..."
"I thought he was really funny and generous. After hanging out a few times, I slowly started to develop feelings for him."
"He told me he liked me, but I didn’t give him an answer. He said he’d been single for three years and that he could wait another three years for me."
"I was actually really interested in him, but I felt like we hadn’t known each other for long. I wanted to get to know him better before agreeing to be in a relationship. I never thought he’d turn out to be this kind of person..."
