The next day, Jianyu was in a eting regarding the collaboration project.
A senior employee was giving his presentation when Jianyu's phone vibrated.
Jianyu frowned when he saw who was calling.
Incoming call Suyin.
He cut the call.
After a few seconds, his phone vibrated again. He cut it again.
"Continue.", He said to the employee who had stopped presenting.
Again his phone vibrated.
Everybody sweated. Who is the one calling so much?
Jianyu said, "We will continue after lunch."
Everybody went back to work and Jianyu picked up.
"I think there is nothing to talk between us now. So don't waste my ti."
"Jianyu wait! Don't cut the call please.", Suyin shouted. "Please. Can we et once? There is sothing you are misunderstanding."
Jianyu hesitated. Misunderstanding? Is there really any?
Jianyu wanted to completely ignore her request, but a part of him couldn't. He really wanted to know what happened two years back. Was she really selfish in leaving him?
He wanted answers. And he thought if he didn't find any that he wanted, it will finally help in his closure. Maybe he would truly be able to forget her.
After a long silence, he said, "Okay."
Suyin got excited. "Thank you Jianyu! We will et at the sa coffee shop we used to go to all the ti. Okay?"
"Hm." And he ended it.
On the side, Madam Tang asked, "What happened? Did he agree?"
She smiled, "Yes."
"You know what to say right?"
"Yes, mom. I know."
---
Jianyu reached the coffee house where he found Suyin already sitting at their usual table.
Suyin smiled brightly and said, "Jianyu. You ca."
He said, "Go straight to the point."
It took a lot of resolve for him to co here and end everything he ever had with her once and for all.
Suyin awkwardly smiled. "At least let's order sothing. You must be hungry."
He didn't say anything. She quickly ordered so coffee and sandwiches.
"What happened two years back?"
Suyin hesitated. "I am here to tell you everything. But I'm scared you will not like the truth. Th-"
"Say it already.", he interrupted.
"Wellone day, Aunt had asked to et her."
Jianyu frowned. Mom?
"You know right how Aunt never really liked for you. I always tried my best to win her heart but I could never change her opinion of . We are childhood friends and even status was not the problem. But I didn't know why Aunt disliked so much." She shed so fake tears.
"One day she called . She said she wanted to talk about sothing important. About our relationship."
"And then?"
---
Mother Chen was having tea with Father Chen.
"Dear, what do you think? Will Suyin try to get Jianyu back?"
He sighed. "She shouldn't. But then again, we know how ambitious the Tang's are. The status ans too much to them. I doubt they will just sit and do nothing. Especially now. When Jianyu is so successful."
"But Suyin is successful as well."
He smiled. "You know it will never match Chen's level right?"
She kept quiet.
"And as long there is even the tiniest bit of gap left to match our status, they will stop at nothing. And to co from Tang's level to our level, they need a direct entry in the Chen family."
No answer.
"I had told you Liling. Two years back. What you talked with Suyin that day will not stop her forever. It will only halt her for so ti. But eventually, she will co back. They will never let go of Jianyu so easily."
She got worried.
"And I saw her yesterday. Trying to talk to Jianyu. Evidently, they have already started planning."
"We should do sothing right? We should warn Jianyu to stay away with her."
He shook his head.
"Why?"
"Jianyu is grown up now Liling. He should be able to tell right from wrong. He should have that eye for people. Only successful in being the CEO will get him nowhere. He should grow as a person too, who can make sound personal decisions as well. We cannot protect him forever."
"But he has already suffered so much for the past two years."
"If you had told him the reason she left him, you would not be in fear like this now."
"I didn't want him to get hurt."
"He was still hurt nevertheless. But for the wrong reason. If he knew the truth, his illusion about her would have broken a long ti ago. And today, Suyin perhaps would have no choice but to give up."
"You had made the decision two years ago. Now let him do it. Even if he has to get hurt in this process once again. But this ti, let him discover the truth for himself."

Huian woke up quite late. She did not find Liu Jinhai.
But she found a note on the bedside table.
'I have an early eting. So did not wake you up. Breakfast is ready. Eat lots.
Jinhai.'
She chuckled.
She found a PS below.
PS I forgot to ntion but there is a gift still left from yesterday. I think it's our anniversary gift from one of your friends..what was she called?...Jie I think. I have kept it in the cupboard. If its sothing nice, share it with too.
She laughed. He never was never able to get her na right. It's Jiu, stupid.
She opened the cupboard and found the gift. It was neat and beautifully wrapped.
She opened it. But inside the box, she didn't find any expensive gift or an item.
But there was a letter.
She frowned. Only a letter in this box.
She opened it and read it.
Mrs. Liu Huian,
I know your secret.
