The bar in the Forbidden City Club was an entirely different kind of hustle and bustle from those outside.
When Li Si, Leng Mochen, and the others arrived, the resident female singer on stage was singing a delightful English song.
They had just settled into the booth and were drinking for a while, having a great ti with truth or dare, when a familiar face ca over to greet Long Wu.
"There are a few guys over there, I’ll go have a drink with them, you guys carry on playing!"
Xu Er said gleefully, "Go ahead then!"
"Why waste words?" Leng Mochen lifted his cup and nodded toward him, clearly implying he should hurry up and leave.
Long Wu specifically turned back to look at Su ng’s expression and, seeing that she had no objections, went off with the friend who approached.
The group continued drinking and laughing, with Leng Mochen and Xu Er whispering together.
There’s no need to say it, they were definitely gossiping about Long Wu.
Su ng quietly approached Li Si and whispered, "Sisi, could you help analyze if I’m sick?"
Li Si looked at her strangely, "Why do you say that?"
She was indeed surprised that Su ng would say such a thing.
But upon seeing Su ng’s hesitant expression, she instantly understood why she would say it.
No wonder! It was supposed to be their anniversary, yet she insisted on dragging them along.
Long Wu had boasted earlier about having a romantic hotel night, but it was clearly only his wishful thinking.
Su ng simply didn’t want to...
"Sisi, I—I don’t even know what’s wrong with ," Su ng spoke with courage, sharing her heart on this night with special significance to Li Si.
Li Si nodded understandingly, "Wet your throat, take your ti!"
While speaking, she handed Su ng a cup of orange juice, suggesting she take a sip before explaining.
Su ng smiled gratefully, took a small sip, and set it down. She saw Bai Shasha had also joined Xu Er and Leng Er, so she moved closer to Li Si.
"Ugh! It’s the sa old story. Even if Long Wu treats well now, it’s hard to erase the scars left by past hurts.
Because first of all, my body can’t accept him! Today is our anniversary, he’s ticulously prepared everything, and I’m not completely indifferent.
Still, no matter how touched I am, I can’t return to how I felt before.
Sotis, I wonder if I’m being overly petty. For us ordinary won to marry into wealth is a stroke of luck, so why dwell on their affairs?
There are plenty of examples around us, where the ho front is stable, yet everyone has their fun outside!
But, I can’t get over this hurdle in my heart! Even if your Leng Er and Xu Er vouch for him, saying he hasn’t wronged !
But so ambiguous photos keep flashing before my eyes often..."
Li Si listened quietly, not giving her opinion yet.
Right now, she’s better suited as a listener, rather than analyzing every issue for Su ng.
Long Wu and Su ng’s issues have always been visible to their group of friends.
Deep-rooted problems don’t develop overnight, just like Ancient Ro wasn’t built in a day.
All the misunderstandings have accumulated over ti, repeated disappointnts and heartache have made their already troubled relationship full of holes.
Is it all Long Wu’s fault? Not entirely, Su ng has her own issues too.
But not even impartial judges can easily resolve household matters, let alone relationships?
Su ng paused and continued, "As ti goes by, so things I care less about. Sotis I think, let bygones be bygones.
But recently, what He Zixi, Yin Rui’s wife, did at Xu Er’s father’s birthday party, and Long Wu’s inaction, truly left heartbroken.
Even if Long Wu later tried to redy it, whenever I think about it, I still feel an unceasing bitterness, no matter how we are, or how he and my mom might act when we’re out together.
When I am wronged and conspired against, losing face, doesn’t he lose face too?
Yet, he showed no intention to help , making doubt if sotis his love is as deep as he seems to show."
Li Si knew Su ng would inevitably talk about that day’s event, Long Wu’s stubborn actions were indeed unacceptable.
The final resolution of this knot in her heart could never be through friends’ persuasion.
Only the one who tied the knot can untie it, and Long Wu must act himself.
"ng ng! As a friend, counseling might be biased. However, I must say, you are right to bla Brother Wu when he is in the wrong.
But no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, you and I have done so too.
If you want to avoid unhappiness, you can’t hold onto these things tightly; issues and misunderstandings can be resolved if you both sit down and speak openly.
Sotis communication is more important than anything else! As an outsider, I just feel you and Brother Wu aren’t doing very well in this aspect.
Your situation is especially unique, with your mom and his-mom involved."
Su ng nodded while listening, she couldn’t help but think deeply. What Li Si said was indeed true; her relationship breakdown with Long Wu is undeniably connected to Mrs. Long.
If the mother-in-law looks down on the daughter-in-law, the relationship between them will never be good!
She’s tried to endure, but it still doesn’t work.
In Mrs. Long’s eyes, she’s always the one unworthy of her son.
Bai Shasha ca over suddenly, "Hey! What are you two whispering about? I want to join in listening too!"
She’s been observing from afar for so ti! But Xu Er kept distracting her with talk, forcing her to listen to their business chat.
She finally seized the mont to co over, and Li Si and Su ng stopped speaking, leaving her anxious.
For a mont, Li Si and Su ng exchanged smiles. With Bai Shasha present, there were things Su ng didn’t want to say; she didn’t know why, so things she could share fully with Li Si but not Bai Shasha, maybe it was because she felt closer to Li Si.
After all, it was Li Si’s salvation that helped her completely escape from her dark, painful past.
At this mont, Long Wu swaggered back, finding Leng Er and Xu Er sitting on the sofa of the side booth, while the three won sat together.
He approached Leng Er and Xu Er, and asked proudly, "What’s going on? I’ve been away for a mont and you’re splitting into camps?! Can’t do without ?"
Long Wu imdiately felt his importance within this small group.
Xu Er cast a side glance at him, deriding, "Co on, Wu, can’t we drop the self-love!? Why don’t you say we split up to talk about you?"
