When they arrived at the bar, Li Weixi could not help but sigh when she saw that the bar was still brightly lit even though it was daytime.
If Lin Yi had known that she was going to a bar, he might not have agreed to let her go out today.
Li Weixi was shocked by the deafening music as she stepped into the bar. She instinctively looked around.
When she met someone's unfriendly gaze, she hurriedly looked away and walked straight in.
She finally found Roman in a corner.
At this moment, Roman's eyes were a little red and swollen as he drank cup after cup of wine.
Li Weixi had never seen her in such a dispirited state before.
Li Weixi walked over and covered the glass of wine that she wanted to drink. She felt sorry for her and said, "Sister Roman, stop drinking. What's wrong with you?"
Roman looked up at her and smiled casually. "You're here. Have a seat."
With that said, she casually pushed Li Weixi's hand away and downed the wine.
Li Weixi felt helpless and had no choice but to sit down.
Li Weixi silently watched Roman drink. She did not know how to stop her and could only watch.
After a few glasses of wine, Roman suddenly said, "Do you know where I went yesterday?"
Li Weixi immediately cooperated and said, "Where?"
"The cemetery." Roman softly spat out these two words, his expression somewhat gentle. "I went to pay my respects to someone yesterday."
Li Weixi did not say anything.
Roman continued, "Haven't you always been curious about Ji Xi and I? I'll tell you now. "
"At the time, I was still young and had a fiancé that my family had arranged. I liked him very much." She took a sip of wine and burped. "We got along very well. I thought that I would marry him and live happily with him as planned. However, not long after, he asked his family to cancel the engagement."
Roman suddenly looked at Li Weixi. "You should know what kind of person I am. How could I agree to such a request?"
Li Weixi could imagine this. She looked at Roman seriously and did not reply.
Roman did not expect to get an answer from her. She just laughed self-deprecatingly. "I made a big fuss at the time and embarrassed both families. I went to look for him and told him not to cancel the engagement, but he didn't listen. I don't know where he found a woman to provoke me and he was very cold to me."
"Seeing him like that, I suddenly gave up."
Roman's eyes were filled with sadness. "But Li Weixi, I never thought that my story would be so melodramatic one day."
She said, "Later, I found out from his friend that he didn't have a change of heart, but he had cancer. He didn't want to burden me, so he used this method to avoid me."
"How could that be?" Li Weixi couldn't help but say. After saying that, she felt that it was inappropriate and immediately shut her mouth.
Roman acted as if she hadn't heard this sentence and continued talking. "After knowing this, I went crazy looking for that man, but he didn't want me to see him no matter what. Until one day, I finally seized the opportunity."
She suddenly held Li Weixi's hand tightly. "Can you guess what the opportunity was?"
Looking at her eyes, Li Weixi, who was originally confused, suddenly had a guess. "Could it be …"
"You guessed it?" Roman smiled. "Yes, it was that promotion many years ago. As long as I was in that position, I could be in charge of the entire project and see him, but you know the result."
"I thought that I lost because I wasn't as capable as him. I had nothing to say and wanted to find another way to see him, but I didn't know that it was the only chance I had to see him." Roman's voice sounded a little desperate. "At that time, I was naive and didn't know that the promotion had been tampered with. Someone even took advantage of the loophole and took away the opportunity I should have had."
Li Weixi naturally knew what she was talking about. Liu Jun had used a trick to get the position she should have had, but the person who had gotten the project was Ji Xi, who had used this matter to her advantage.
She suddenly felt a little sad. She held Roman's hand and comforted her softly. "Sister Roman, it's all in the past. I know it's not good to say this, but can you stop thinking about him? Start a new life. "
Roman shook her head and pulled her hand out of the girl's palm. "I thought so too. I've been living well all these years. I wanted to take revenge on Ji Xi because I wanted a result."
"But yesterday, when I went to pay respects to him, I actually saw Ji Xi and Lu Luan in front of the tombstone."
She pursed her lips as if she was mocking her. "After taking revenge for so long, it felt like a joke. The two of them were standing side by side in harmony. They even looked at me with the same gaze."
"Why … Why were they there?"
"Why wouldn't they be?" Roman smiled bitterly. "They were university classmates."
University classmates?
Li Weixi frowned slightly. She had a strange feeling.
She remembered someone saying that Ji Xi had met Lu Luan in university and fell in love with him, but because of something, she didn't get together with him. She didn't even confess to him. Could it be related to Roman's fiancé?
Looking at Roman's expression, it seemed like she didn't want to say anything. But if it wasn't related, why would she be so sad? It couldn't be just because Lu Luan and Ji Xi appeared together, right?
Roman raised her head and drank another glass of wine. After saying this, she looked a little lost. "To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about Lu Luan. I only got close to him to take revenge on Ji Xi, but I didn't feel any pleasure. Instead, I felt like I was trapped in it."
"I could have comforted myself with the fact that their relationship isn't good now, but when I saw the tacit understanding between the two of them yesterday, I felt like I had done something wrong again."
Li Weixi might not understand this feeling, but she guessed that perhaps Roman might feel that Ji Xi was just playing with her.
She watched as Roman drank another glass of wine. When she lowered her head again, she seemed to shed a tear. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
She hugged Roman's shoulder and coaxed her gently. "Sister Roman, it's all in the past. Don't torture yourself. Let yourself be happier. If you like Lu Luan, then fight for him. If you can't, then give up. That's Sister Roman."
