Hearing such a firm answer, Zhenxiu felt that she was not joking.
"Why …" Zhenxiu had a gossipy expression on her face. She rolled her eyes and guessed, "Teacher, could it be that you've been hurt? Have you suffered a blow? "
Vivian's expression changed, and her delicate body trembled slightly. She took a deep breath, and countless complicated emotions surged in her eyes. She said in a rather shaky tone, "Xu Zhenxiu, you haven't experienced it, so you won't understand. Hurry up and eat, I don't want to talk about it anymore."
Zhenxiu, on the other hand, acted as if she had discovered a treasure. She said stubbornly, "Why can't I say it? Anyway, only the two of us here understand Chinese. Teacher, don't be like this. Failure is inevitable when dating. If that guy doesn't want you, then he's blind! If you ask me, you should find a better man next time to step on him! "
Vivian looked at the girl's indignant expression and laughed bitterly at herself. "How can you be so sure … that I'm an innocent victim?"
"Aren't you? Could it be that Teacher dumped a man? That can't be right … If that's the case, why would Teacher be sad? "Zhenxiu blinked her eyes in confusion.
Vivian sighed softly. "Some things … even if others forgive you, you can't forgive yourself …"
Zhenxiu was even more confused. After thinking for a while, she said, "Teacher, did you do something wrong, so you don't want to hurt others anymore?"
Vivian was stunned for a moment. She looked up at the girl but did not say anything.
Zhenxiu lifted her spoon and did not care about the soup spilling out. She waved her hand and said, "Sigh! What is this! It's inevitable for people to make mistakes! If I don't drink soup again just because I scalded myself for the first time, then wouldn't I be asking for it? "
Seeing Vivian standing there in a daze, Zhenxiu did not care. She continued excitedly, "Teacher, you don't know this, but when I was in junior high in Hua Xia, I even dropped out of school and became a delinquent! My days were like fighting, racing on motorcycles, pickpocketing on public buses. Anyway, I was terrible … "
A look of surprise appeared in Vivian's eyes as she looked at the girl in disbelief.
"Later on, I was finally arrested by the police. At that time, the police chief's sister told me that I could be forgiven if I did something wrong. As long as I didn't do it repeatedly and tried to change myself, everyone would like me again! I didn't believe it at first, but then I met my uncle … "
"Uncle?" Vivian frowned in confusion.
"Uh …" Zhenxiu said indifferently, "Anyway, it's Hua Xia, a very important person to me. She's evil, playboy, and scoundrel. However, Uncle was really nice to me. He didn't mind that I stole his wallet and phone. Later, he even helped me fight off the bad guys who were looking for me!
At that time, I felt that it was okay to do some wrong things. As long as I turned over a new leaf and was worthy of those who treated me well, everything would be fine! Why do you always think so lowly of yourself? People should always think more about their own happiness. "
Vivian looked at Zhenxiu for a long time before she smiled. "You have such a good attitude. I'm not as open-minded as you, but I'll work hard in the future."
"Teacher, you must still have someone in your heart, right?" Zhenxiu leaned forward and pursed her lips. "Otherwise, your mood wouldn't have changed so much just mentioning it."
Vivian didn't say anything. She only lowered her head and chuckled.
"You're not saying anything again." Zhenxiu was bored. "Forget it, I'm going to eat breakfast."
Vivian let out a sigh of relief as she watched Zhenxiu start to eat. However, her eyes were filled with thoughts.
Right at this moment, a tall and handsome young man came in through the door, followed by two assistants in well-ironed uniforms.
"Good day, Chairman!"
Eunjung and the other maids immediately bowed.
It was Park Jonghyun.
Vivian also stood up and nodded in greeting. After all, he was the current director of Starmoon Group.
Zhenxiu wasn't used to it, but she still greeted him, "Cousin."
Park Jonghyun smiled gently. "Cousin, you're still eating breakfast. Don't let Teacher Vivian wait for too long."
"Yeah, I eat fast." Zhenxiu was a lot more serious now. "Cousin, don't go to work now? Are you looking for me or grandfather? "
Park Jonghyun smiled. "I'm here to see how grandfather's condition is. Although he's feeling much better these days thanks to you, I'm still worried about him."
Zhenxiu nodded. "Don't worry about me then. Go upstairs."
Park Jonghyun didn't leave immediately. Instead, he asked Vivian politely, "Miss Vivian, I wonder if Korean food is to your liking? If you'd like to try Hua Xia's dishes, I can get someone to prepare them."
"You're too kind, Chairman. I don't really mind. I'll eat whatever Zhenxiu eats," Vivian replied politely.
"Is that so?" Park Jonghyun hesitated before asking, "I wonder if Miss Vivian would be interested in attending tonight's exchange party between Starmoon Group and American General Corporation. We've invited quite a number of celebrities from the academic world. If Miss Vivian is interested, I happen to have a dance partner for you …"
"Chairman," Vivian interrupted. "Thank you very much, but I don't really like crowds. I'm just a teacher, I don't know anything else …"
"Oh …" Park Jonghyun's eyes were filled with regret. He looked at the woman with infatuation. "That's a pity. I'll go upstairs first."
Park Jonghyun was about to leave when he stopped and turned around. "Cousin, grandfather told me that he might officially hand over the shares of Starmoon Group soon and officially establish your position as his successor. You have to prepare the crescent moon that aunt gave you. When the time comes, grandfather's star will merge with your crescent moon. "
Zhenxiu's mouth widened. "Crescent moon? Is … is it that platinum crescent moon necklace? "
Park Jonghyun nodded. "That's right. Why? Is there a problem? "
"Ah …" Zhenxiu bit her lips in distress. "Cousin, I … I gave the necklace away …"
Park Jonghyun's expression changed, but he quickly asked with a smile, "Who did you give it to?"
Zhenxiu scratched her head in embarrassment. "I gave it to …"
"Wait!"
Park Jonghyun interrupted Zhenxiu and asked the people around him to leave. He then said sternly, "Lower your voice, just tell your cousin. This is important!"
Zhenxiu was a little nervous. She walked to Park Jonghyun's side and whispered in his ear, "I gave the crescent moon to thank Brother Yang for helping me."
"Yang Cheng?"
"Yes." Zhenxiu nodded.
A strange look flashed across Park Jonghyun's eyes, but he quickly grinned. "Alright, I understand. I'll discuss it with grandfather. Don't worry. This crescent moon is our family's most important heirloom. We have to get it back eventually, but we have to treat it with respect. "
Zhenxiu nodded in agreement. She was hoping that Yang Cheng would be called over from Zhonghai. She missed him dearly these days. She would occasionally call back to Zhonghai, but Yang Cheng wasn't home.
…
Zhonghai City, Xijiao Villas.
Lin Ruoxi sat in her room and slowly put down her phone. She had just ended a call with Liu Mingyu.
After Liu Mingyu returned to Zhonghai, she told Lin Ruoxi about the situation as they had agreed before leaving for Australia.
According to her previous plan, she would probably talk about how Hsiao Chih-ching failed. However, the news that came was exactly the same as what Lin Ruoxi had heard from Yang Cheng. In fact, it made Lin Ruoxi feel helpless and emotional.
When Liu Mingyu told her about the hardships along the way, and talked about the process of changing her opinion of Hsiao Chih-ching, Lin Ruoxi knew that at least in Liu Mingyu's heart, Hsiao Chih-ching had already regarded Hsiao Chih-ching as a sister.
What Yang Cheng said before was actually only a small part. Hsiao Chih-ching did a lot of things that she couldn't help but admire. After all, Yang Cheng lost his cultivation. Liu Mingyu was lucky to have the support of the peak of the Acquired Realm. However, Hsiao Chih-ching relied purely on her delicate body and tenacious perseverance to accompany Yang Cheng and Liu Mingyu all the way out of the no man's land. Not only did she not drag them down, but she also sacrificed herself to save Yang Cheng and Liu Mingyu.
Lin Ruoxi didn't know what kind of state of mind she was in at the moment. She felt wronged, but she also felt that there was nothing to be wronged about. Instead, she felt a little guilty. More than that, she felt helpless and bitter.
If the person who accompanied the man at that time was herself, she wouldn't have so many troubles. But why did God always make fun of her?
When she was thinking about these things, there was a knock on the door. Mother Wang's voice came from outside. "Miss, come downstairs quickly. We have something to discuss as a family!"
