Xia Qiao watched as Lin Yangbo left, looking despondent.
Once his figure completely vanished from sight.
She couldn’t keep up the pretense any longer. Her legs gave way, and if not for Jiang Zirui supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
"Sister Xia Qiao, are you okay?"
Jiang Zirui looked at her with so concern, his tone filled with care.
After all, over ti, he had co to treat her like a real sister.
Xia Qiao forced a smile on her face, shook her head, and said, "I’m fine, but can you accompany sowhere?"
"No problem."
...
Bar.
Since it was still noon, there were only a few scattered tables occupied in the bar.
Xia Qiao sat on a bar stool, downing an unknown number of glasses of whiskey.
"Sister Xia Qiao, don’t drink so much." Jiang Zirui sighed and could only persuade her gently.
Hearing this, Xia Qiao chuckled, beckoned him over with a finger, "Little one, this bit of alcohol can’t get drunk, by the way, do you want to hear my story?"
"If talking about it will make you feel a bit better, I’m willing to listen."
Hearing Jiang Zirui’s words, Xia Qiao chuckled, sipped on the whiskey, and began to reminisce with him.
She talked about her relationship with Lin Yangbo.
During high school, they had a naïve, mutual affection for each other.
At that ti, they were shy, and the school rules were there, so neither broke the last layer of illusion.
It wasn’t until they entered university, both becoming adults, that no conditions could restrict them.
So they naturally got together.
During their two years together, they led a simple yet fulfilling life.
Just when she thought this life could last forever, an unexpected event occurred.
Lin Yangbo’s mom ca looking for her.
The appearance of that elegantly dressed lady made her feel so out of place.
Although his mom didn’t say anything drastic.
Every word felt like piercing her heart.
But at that ti, she was so determined, wanting to be with Lin Yangbo no matter what others said.
His mom sneered at this.
Later she finally understood why she sneered, because the next day, her dad lost his job...
Simply because he offended soone...
There was no need to wonder who it was. The answer was right in front of her.
The girl she was back then scoffed at herself. For the sake of her dad, she could only stay away from Lin Yangbo.
She wanted to hide, to escape, to leave.
Anywhere would do, as long as it ant not staying by Lin Yangbo’s side.
His side was truly too stifling, too stifling...
So ca the ti when she silently left Hua Country for abroad.
This matter Lin Yangbo doesn’t know, and she never intended to let him know in this lifeti.
After hearing the entire story, Jiang Zirui took a deep breath, "Why didn’t you go to my sister back then?"
With his sister’s personality, she would probably have confronted the Lin Family right away.
Could he just let them bully Xia Qiao?
This kind of thing made him angry just listening, let alone how his sister would feel.
Xia Qiao shook her head, "I can’t rely on your sister for everything, she can help temporarily, not for a lifeti, I must face many things on my own."
Hearing her words, Jiang Zirui gazed thoughtfully into the distance, taking a sip from his glass.
After a while, he seed to make so major decision.
"Since you just told your story, would you like to hear mine now?"
