Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Marrying is Charity, Right? Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Marrying is Charity, Right? Xie Liuzheng was very calm, and she didn’t hide anything.
“The Tianyuan Group’s Future City design is too attractive, and I think most designers wouldn’t want to miss this opportunity. Also, my family has arranged for to go on a blind date, asking to co back and et up.”
The blind date was just a minor affair.
Xie Liuzheng was from a branch of the Xie Family, an aristocratic family from the Imperial Capital. She wasn’t a top-tier heiress, but she grew up in a wealthy household and could freely choose the life she wanted.
She left ho to study at Haicheng University’s prestigious Departnt of Architecture and Design, where she t Zhou Yu by chance.
Back then, the idealistic pair fell deeply in love.
But in the end, they broke up because she planned to go abroad for further studies after graduation, and their pursuits diverged. On the day she received the offer to study abroad, Zhou Yu had prepared a marriage proposal.
Their falling out was very ugly, a dismal conclusion to their relationship.
Zhou Yu curled his lips mockingly, “I thought you were going to marry architectural design for life. Congratulations, the youngest Jiandelu Award winner.”
She had achieved success and fa, and now she was back in her ho country.
Xie Liuzheng’s smile softened her eyes a lot, “Zhou Yu, are you still blaming for leaving you? Won should pursue their careers, love is just my second choice. If there’s a conflict between the two, I would still choose to go abroad. Zhou Yu, why can’t you let go?”
She shifted to a more relaxed position and said, “I heard you’re now an advocate of not getting married and a playboy. I rember you used to be very faithful.”
“Are you keeping tabs on ?” Zhou Yu looked at her, his thoughts complex.
“Not exactly. As the Future City project leader is you, so designers want to curry favor, so I’ve collected a lot of gossip about you.”
“Xie Liuzheng, I’ll be getting married soon, I’m not so bachelor anymore.”
“Then it seems my information was wrong, and I’ll feel much less guilty,” Xie Liuzheng leaned back on the sofa, her eyes always brimming with a smile as she looked at Zhou Yu indulgently, “Did you sell that house? You’re not still living in the house I designed, are you?”
That large flat in Biyuan was sothing she had her eye on back in the day.
Zhou Yu’s face turned cold, silent.
Xie Liuzheng understood then, and said, “Sell the house, if you find anything of mine just clear it out. I hope you’re serious about getting married, it ans you’ve completely let go and don’t resent anymore.”
His anger surged uncontrollably as Zhou Yu shouted at her calm tone, “If you’re so worried I’d resent you, why did you leave without hesitation! There were compromises available!”
Going abroad didn’t have to an breaking up!
He could wait for her to return after completing her studies, or he could go abroad to be with her. Yet she coldly chose to break up, her decision irrevocable.
Even though he called to plead with her, she didn’t answer and changed her number, cutting off all contact.
He went abroad to her design institute, but she refused to see him and had security throw him out, warning him to stay away.
Xie Liuzheng was so decisive in breaking up!
She didn’t drag it out, not one bit of lingering attachnt.
All that deep affection he harbored transford into bitterness and a desire for an answer.
Their conversation caught the attention of many, and Shu Xue, who had just returned from the restroom, sat on a couch with her back to them for reasons unknown.
She heard every word of their conversation clearly.
Xie Liuzheng’s expression remained calm, as she stood up, articulating each word, “Because we’re not on the sa path, this ans one of us has to make a sacrifice. Zhou Yu, you have your pride, would you be content being subordinate to , Xie Liuzheng? And I cannot beco a housewife just to have kids and give up my career for you.”
She paused before saying, “After all these years, I hope you can let go soon. It’s only fair to your fiancée.”
“I…”
Zhou Yu felt the powerless sensation of a punch hitting cotton. He had thought their next eting might involve mutual disinterest or even sharp confrontation. However, he hadn’t expected her to be advising him to move on, appearing so detached and relaxed.
In contrast, he was like a joke.
He was about to speak when he caught sight of Shu Xue sitting nearby with an ugly expression on her face.
Shock flashed through his eyes!
Panic surged within her, without any reason!
Why was she here?
“Shu Xue…” Zhou Yu called out, but Shu Xue turned her head and quickly walked away.
Xie Liuzheng followed his gaze and said, “Is that your girlfriend? Quite pretty. I won’t take up more of your ti. Hurry up and explain.”
She had no desire to beco the catalyst for soone else’s argunt.
Zhou Yu also didn’t care about the rest, and hurriedly walked toward Shu Xue. A staff mber stopped him, “Mr. Zhou, there’s sothing else that needs your attention. One of the designers…”
Zhou Yu was the main person in charge of this designer salon.
“Deal with it first; I’ll be there soon.”
Zhou Yu said casually, then sprinted out.
“Shu Xue!”
“Shu Xue, wait a minute!”
Zhou Yu caught up to her in the hotel garden, tightly grasping her wrist, “Stop running.”
Shu Xue bit her lip, trying hard to break free from his hold.
But still, he held on tight.
“Zhou Yu, let go of !” Shu Xue’s eyes reddened; she had heard everything.
She had never seen Zhou Yu so utterly bewitched by a woman.
In the past, he changed girlfriends frequently, it turned out that apart from Xie Liuzheng, everyone else was just tolerable!
“Not letting go! How co you’re here?” Zhou Yu distinctly rembered that she had a shift at the hospital today and had planned to pick her up after the salon ended.
“If I hadn’t co, how could I have heard that conversation? How could I have seen your unforgettable first love?” Shu Xue’s tears overflowed, and she stared deeply at Zhou Yu, “You’ve been acting abnormal recently. Have you noticed it yourself?”
“Zhou Yu, you keep searching for Xie Liuzheng’s na on your phone! And in the corner of the storage room, I found things she left behind. Even the house we live in together was designed by her! And for this design salon, you can even cancel dinner with my parents.”
All these things made her fall apart!
Zhou Yu raised his voice, “I have nothing to do with her anymore! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to register our marriage. Isn’t it you who proposed to change the dinner with your parents?”
With tears streaking down her face, Shu Xue scoffed, “It was who requested the change! That’s because I sensed your unwillingness! Zhou Yu, registering our marriage, it’s like charity, right?”
Zhou Yu pressed his hands on her shoulders, “Shu Xue, can you please calm down for a mont?”
“Am I not calm enough?”
Shu Xue’s heart clenched; what she feared had finally happened. She was filled with a fragile anger and fear.
“Mr. Zhou!” The staff and Qiao Xi had both co looking and saw Shu Xue and Zhou Yu arguing, interrupting them very awkwardly.
The staff mber said anxiously, “Mr. Zhou, inside, they really need you to take charge. Maybe you should go back and take care of business first…”
Zhou Yu was frustrated, worried and annoyed with Shu Xue, and also preoccupied with work.
Seeing his difficulty, Qiao Xi said, “Go take care of work first, I’ll stay with Shu Xue. Don’t worry, I won’t let her wander off.”
Zhou Yu glanced at Shu Xue, thinking that she wouldn’t listen to reason in her current mood, and nodded.
“Sister-in-law, please take care of her. I’ll drive her ho after the salon ends.”
This ant for Qiao Xi to keep Shu Xue there.
Qiao Xi said helplessly, “I’ll try my best.”
She wasn’t entirely sure either.
