1015: I thought that you would never find out

I thought that you would never find out

Shi Yu's temple throbbed.0

Yan Su's throat was also choked up. "Shi Yu, if you tell me honestly, I might look at you with less disgust. I'm not stupid. During the long time that we were dating, you were careful to the extreme. Which celebrity is as careful as you are? I am also a celebrity now, but I'm not like you. This is because you got together with their young mistress and the people around you are watching you, right?"

"Don't say anymore." Shi Yu suddenly interrupted him, his face pale and tired.

Yan Su looked at him quietly.

Shi Yu tightened his fist. After what seemed like countless internal struggles, he lowered his head like a child who'd made a mistake. "I'm sorry, Susu, I thought that you would never find out."

Yan Su's eyes instantly rimmed red.

She turned around and hugged herself. Despite the heater running in the room, it suddenly felt extremely cold. "Is becoming famous really that important to you? You can even give up on your baseline."

Shi Yu looked at her and was extremely anguished. "I don't want that, but I want to be with you. Susu, you came from such a good family, and when I wanted to be with you, your parents objected to it. Your dad even came to see me personally. He said that my family's condition was too poor, that our statuses don't match, he wouldn't accept me. He also said that he looked down on musicians like me the most. He said that we're good-for-nothings. He told me to leave you sooner and not hinder your future."

Shi Yu paused for a moment, then said, "But you gave up everything and left to follow me. You even stopped talking to your parents. I feel very guilty in my heart, so I swore to make something out of myself to bring you back. I want to tell your parents that I am good enough for you, that I am capable of taking care of you."

Yan Su was surprised. "My dad went to see you?"

Shi Yu nodded. "After the university entrance exams, your dad came to see me. I got into a top-ranked university, but your dad didn't care. Your entire family is highly educated, your parents are artists. My parents are just small business owners. They work themselves to the bone all year and still earn less than what your parents do in a day. He made me realize the true difference between the rich and the poor. That's why, Susu, I can only be good enough for you if I am popular. Only then can I make your family agree to let us be together."

Yan Su was stunned. She really hadn't known that all these things had happened.

Shi Yu had his pride, she knew that. She could imagine how heavy a blow her father's words had been to him.

Shi Yu continued to say in a low voice, "When I went to Korea, I had no prominent background or social standing. No matter how hard I worked, even if I practiced dancing until my joints gave out, until I pulled my all muscles, until my voice was gone, and worked harder than everyone else by ten times, by a hundred times, people still didn't spare a glance for me. Every time you called me, I always said that I'd been well, that I'd been complimented, that the company was giving me a lot of attention. Those were all lies. I even had times when I was so broke that I ate only one meal every three days. I was broke, Susu…"

Yan Su cried. Her black lashes were wet from her tears.

She still remembered some of those things. Back then, she had felt relieved.

Shi Yu's voice also became hoarse. He choked up a little and said, "Only then my company's young mistress took a liking to me. She told me that either I could leave quietly or get together with her. You had so many expectations for me back home and you were working so hard, how could I come back empty-handed? So…"

"So, you slept with her." Yan Su finished his sentence with regret and sadness.

"But I never thought about a future with her. She can't affect me anymore." Shi Yu placed his hands on Yan Su's shoulders. "Susu, please forgive me. It wasn't easy for us to reach where we are today."
