"I see you haven't eaten much these past few days, that's why I brought you here. I didn't expect to meet Shanshan..."
"We bumped into each other. There is nothing between her and me anymore."
"...Why do you say such depressing words? You were so in love before! I am so envious of you being in love!"
"You also said it...before."
"..."
"Drink some wine with me?"
Qiao Zihua pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
They went to the box on the second floor, where Chu Yixing and Qiao Zihua sat face to face...
"Every time Jian Shan and I have dinner like this, she will touch the table and sit next to me. She said... the food is not delicious if you are too far away from me..."
"If you love her so much, why..."
"You can see it in your eyes. She said I have changed, but in fact she has changed too."
"..."
"On Christmas Eve, I went out to look for her, but she was laughing and joking with another man. The man kissed her so naturally..."
"It's the man you told me about before, the man who confessed to her... right?"
Chu Yixing nodded.
"But you have gone through so much together, it makes no sense for this little thing..."
"Zihua, I'm tired...I'm tired of pampering her..."
Qiao Zihua poured wine for him and herself, "Stop thinking about it. Love is inherently unreliable. The only reliable thing is marriage."
"marriage……"
"Have I ever told you that I have a sister?"
"I know the Qiao family has another daughter."
"I have a sister, her name is Qiao Zixin. She is very kind, simple and smart. Ever since she was a child, she has been better than me in all aspects. My parents say she is not partial, but there are few people in the world who can not be partial.
The smarter and better one?”
"I was jealous of her, but I also admired her. I was very proud to have such a sister. That year, when my sister was only twenty-two years old, her father arranged a marriage for her and planned to transfer 30% of Qiao's shares to
In their couple’s name”
Chu Yixing looked at Qiao Zihua, who was slightly drunk in front of him, and narrowed his eyes...
Qiao Zixin?
"It's a pity...she didn't have this life, she fell in love with a man...a man who eventually killed her!"
"Who... is the man?"
"His name is Qi Junshu (shu). He is a man who comes from somewhere... he is not bad looking, just like you... he has a face that makes women easily attracted..."
"They love each other dearly. The Qiao family doesn't mind if a man marries his wife, but...Qi Junshu never mentioned marrying his sister from beginning to end...Yixing, let me tell you a secret. The Qiao family has such a big fortune, but there is something wrong with it.
It is a written rule that the inheritance is passed from male to female... But the Qiao family has no male heir, so they have to pin their hopes on their son-in-law..."
"I still don't know why Qi Junshu refused to marry his sister... He refused to marry, and my sister had to get married, so her father forced her to marry the young master whom she had agreed to marry... They eloped overnight... Yi Xing, how is my sister?
Is it funny? That man refused to marry her, but she still wanted to elope with him? "
"The elopement failed, and there was nothing my sister could do...guess what happened?"
"What's wrong?"
"On their wedding night, she burned down the entire wedding house. Such a beautiful sister... was burned to charcoal... And what about that man? He never appeared again..."
"What is love? It is an extravagant hope that a woman can never get! It has no shelf life, only a freshness period..."
"But marriage is different. If people are bound by law and neither party makes any mistakes, divorce will not happen easily."
