Duan Qianxian lowered her head in silence.
"Not saying anything? Cat got your tongue?" Duan Qianzhen asked her.
"I’m not..." Duan Qianxian turned her head to look out the window, feeling bitter inside as tears silently stread down her face.
"Crying? What right do you have to cry? If you liked him, you should have confessed early. Getting rejected now wouldn’t have made you suffer silently for so long. You’re just being foolish!" Duan Qianzhen’s reprimand carried no trace of leniency.
"He barely spent any ti in Jing City, maybe just once or twice a year. You know that, brother!" Duan Qianxian felt aggrieved.
"Dry your tears. What do you have to feel aggrieved about?" Duan Qianzhen’s tone was stern.
Duan Qianxian wiped her tears, "If I confessed earlier, would there have been a chance?"
"No!"
"Why? Didn’t you just say I should confess early?"
"Confess early to give up early! Don’t you get it?" Duan Qianzhen said coldly, "I need to go to the company. You can wander around the mall ahead, spend freely!"
"Okay..."
——
An hour later.
Duan Qianxian and Huo Mingyue were sitting face-to-face in a café inside the mall.
"Feeling down?" Huo Mingyue looked at her dispirited appearance, "Not planning to work in the country?"
"I might go abroad! Or maybe stay here!" Duan Qianxian wasn’t sure either.
Initially, she was sent abroad by her brother. She wanted to stay in the country to have more contact with Ye Gushen, but Ye Gushen had soone in his heart and was extrely kind to Tang Suiyu. The two openly showed their affection in front of others.
"Go abroad! Co back in a few months." Huo Mingyue suggested.
"Why?" Duan Qianxian countered.
Huo Mingyue handed her a photo.
Duan Qianxian looked at the photo—it was a comparison of her and Tang Suiyu photoshopped together. Tang Suiyu was a bit taller and slimr.
"And then?" Duan Qianxian looked at her in confusion.
"So things can be changed, just minor adjustnts!" Huo Mingyue smiled, "But I’m afraid you don’t have the guts!"
"Huo Mingyue, did you think I was unaware of the recent affair with Chen Yuxi? Though there’s no direct evidence to prove your involvent, everyone knows who forced Chen Yuxi to that extent. The Chen Family is now completely ruined, and you’ve extended your claws towards Ye Gushen. What exactly are you trying to do?" Duan Qianxian handed her the photo, "I don’t want it!"
"I think you’ve confused sothing. It’s not who’s reached out to Ye Gushen—it’s you! You love him, deeply nurturing the unrequited love within, growing into a towering tree, making it impossible to ignore. I’m offering you advice, yet you bla !"
"As for Brother Yu Xi’s matter, you don’t know. Without evidence, it’s best not to speak carelessly. There’s a price for slander!" Huo Mingyue wasn’t scared at all, "Your choice. I’m leaving! I’m very busy!"
Huo Mingyue really got up and left.
Duan Qianxian watched her back, "Wait!"
——
Ye Gushen hugged her, his phone flashed for a long ti, but he didn’t pay attention.
