"Song Yu, I'm actually really envious of you. You have my brother who loves you so much and sees you as more important than anything else. My request is very simple, really very simple. I don't need the other party to have a high status or a strong financial power. Even if he's just an ordinary office worker, as long as he treats me wholeheartedly, as long as he doesn't betray my love for him, that's enough, "Qi Chengyue said, choking with sobs, her shoulders trembling.
"When I was dating Jian Yi, he didn't have anything. If I cared about those external things, why would I marry him? I just fell in love with someone. Since he married me, I want the same love. I also want to be doted on and loved by someone and be well protected. "
"Even if it's just a small cut on my finger, he'll be heartbroken. When I'm not feeling well, he'll be by my side. When I cry, he'll be heartbroken and wipe my tears. When I'm not by his side, he'll always think of me. When he's on a business trip, he'll take the initiative to contact me every day and tell me about him. When he's on the street, he'll hold my hand and only let me sit in the front passenger seat. "
Song Yu didn't say a word. Because of Qi Chengyue's words, her throat was a little uncomfortable.
She saw transparent tears flowing out from between Qi Chengyue's fingers. They flowed down the back of her hand.
"I really don't understand. I love him with all my heart. Why … Why does he have to use me? I can let him use me, but I also want him to love me. Even if he's using me, he should at least give me some love. What else is he not satisfied with? "Qi Chengyue sobbed." Song Yu, tell me, how can I get a man's love? I'm willing to change where I'm not good. I just want someone to love me sincerely. Why … Why does he do this to me … "
"Do you know? His mother … His mother usually uses a credit card. I used my own ID card and gave it to her. I'm the one who pays the credit card debt every month. On the day you met her and Guan Xiaolin, she was still using my money to buy clothes for herself. She was using my money, but she was shopping with Jian Yi's mistress. That mother and son … What do they think I am … "
"I love Jian Yi, but I'm not cheap. I don't want to be used and bullied by them. Jian Yi and I have already told each other everything. Moreover, he hasn't touched me since we got married. The more I know him, the more disappointed I am. After I got married, I went back to my parents' home once because of Zhou Mingyan. However, Zhou Mingyan had bullied me more than once, so I didn't dare to run home again. I'm afraid that my parents and brother will be worried. I'm also afraid that they won't treat him well. "
"Although I've always been unwilling and always quarreled with him, I still couldn't help but think for him in my heart. I would hide it from my family for him, but they couldn't see what I did for them at all. Zhou Mingyan felt that what I did was reasonable, and Jian Yi felt that if I loved him, I should give everything for him unconditionally without asking for anything in return. I shouldn't even expect him to love me. He's already repaid me by marrying me. "
"I'm so stupid, Song Yu. I feel so stupid. I actually forced myself to this extent for their sake. I gave them a weapon to trample on me wantonly. But Song Yu, I truly love someone. Why … why can't you give me a good ending? I really envy you. I really envy you … I'm so scared. I don't know what will happen in the future. I don't think I can be with him like this anymore, but I can't accept it. I can't accept it. The love I've given him all these years, it's actually worthless in his eyes. "
Song Yu's eyes were also red. At this moment, Qi Chengyue's elbows were resting on the short table. She covered her face with both hands and cried helplessly like a child.
In the past, she thought that Qi Chengyue was just a spoiled and willful girl.
However, marriage really changed her a lot. Only then did she know how much effort Qi Chengyue had put in and how much she had suffered.
As the daughter of the Qi family, she lowered herself to this extent and let Zhou Mingyan and Jian Yi bully her like that.
In order not to worry her family, she hid the truth. At the same time, because she couldn't bear to leave Jian Yi, she didn't dare to let her family know Jian Yi's true colors.
She was caught in the middle and had been suffering.
Song Yu got up and walked around the table. She knelt beside Qi Chengyue and sat down.
She hugged Qi Chengyue gently and stroked her hair with her soft hands. "Silly, why didn't you say anything? Why did you have to bear with it and suffer so much? You hid it now. In the future, when they find out, they will know that you needed help and protection the most, but they didn't know and didn't protect you well. When you were bullied, they didn't stand up for you. As your family, they will feel terrible when they find out the truth. "
"The meaning of the existence of a family is to support each other. To help you when you are weak, to support you when you need someone to rely on, to open the door to you when you have nowhere to go, and to be the most reliable shelter when you are helpless."
"You are the daughter of the Qi family. You are the younger sister of Chengzhi and Chenglin. You are their only sister. You have three powerful brothers above you. How can you let them watch helplessly as their sister is bullied? How can you let your brothers become fools? How can you let Jian Yi think that he can bully your brother's sister under their noses and mock them? How can he think that he has the Qi family running around in circles? "
Qi Chengyue burst into tears. She turned around and pressed her forehead against Song Yu's shoulder. Her shoulder kept shaking.
Qi Chengyue cried for a long time before she slowly calmed down.
Song Yu didn't rush her or comfort her. He just let Qi Chengyue cry on his shoulder.
Qi Chengyue's body twitched as she sat up straight. She looked at Song Yu and lowered her head. She sobbed softly. "I'm sorry."
She didn't know if she was apologizing for wetting Song Yu's clothes or for her attitude towards him in the past.
Song Yu just smiled and shook his head. He passed the tissue box on the table to Qi Chengyue so that she could wipe her tears and snot.
"Can you not tell your family about what I told you today?" Qi Chengyue said. "Since it has already happened, I don't want them to worry."
"Of course." Song Yu nodded. He got up and returned to his seat across from her.
Qi Chengyue's nose was full of snot. She couldn't breathe through her nose at all. She blew her nose a few times.
"Actually, when my brother told me about Jian Yi and Guan Xiaolin yesterday, I didn't suspect that he cheated. There was no problem with Guan Xiaolin being hot-headed. Because I didn't want to help him start his business, I didn't want to put in a good word for him in front of my brother. He also knows that he can't get anything from me, so he's moving out. Actually, I'm not surprised at all. Only just now did I realize that I had already expected this situation to happen. "Qi Chengyue laughed at herself and sniffled.
She tried her best to hold it in yesterday so she didn't break down.
She knew that her coldness yesterday made Qi Chenglin feel strange.
In fact, it was because she didn't dare to say too much. She was afraid that if she said too much, she would let out a breath and break down crying.
"I loved him but I was really hurt by him. Even if I still love him and hate him in my heart, I don't want to keep him anymore." Qi Chengyue paused. However, her hands on the table were still trembling.
Song Yu knew that Qi Chengyue's heart wasn't as calm as she said.
"I'm going to get a divorce but I'll listen to you. I'll pretend that I don't know and let my brother find all the evidence. After the divorce, he won't get a single cent from the Qi family!" Qi Chengyue said angrily and her tone was stiff. However, as soon as she said that, tears fell from her unblinking eyes again.
After all, this was a marriage that she had looked forward to.
The wedding was so grand and the whole city gave their blessings. It had only been a few months …
Song Yu sighed in her heart. She could only say, "Eat something. You're in a bad mood right now and you're hungry. You'll damage your body."
Qi Chengyue wiped her tears and nodded. She picked up the rice and ate a mouthful. However, her throat seemed to be choked. She couldn't swallow it for a long time.
Song Yu also let out a heavy breath. She ate a mouthful of rice and picked up a piece of grilled fish. However, she felt that it was too fishy. It made her want to vomit. She quickly drank a few mouthfuls of water to dilute the fishy taste in her mouth. Then, she ate a few mouthfuls of rice and a mouthful of fried pork chop. However, she felt that it was too greasy.
In the end, she only managed to eat some vegetable salad and fruit. After drinking two mouthfuls of miso soup, she couldn't eat anymore.
Qi Chengyue was in a bad mood and had no appetite. In the end, both of them only ate a little. It was as if they hadn't touched the food they ordered.
Qi Chengyue frowned and said, "I don't have an appetite. Why are you eating so little too?"
Song Yu shook her head. "I don't know if the chef changed or something, but I feel that the food today doesn't taste good. I can't swallow it."
Qi Chengyue nodded. Song Yu said, "Do you want to sit for a while longer?"
"No need." She got up and said a little embarrassedly, "I've wasted your time. Let's go."
Song Yu smiled. She didn't expect that there would be a day when Qi Chengyue would be so polite to her.
She stood up from the cushion. Because of the Japanese style of decoration, they had a cushion all the way and sat on the floor.
As soon as she got up, she suddenly felt dizzy. Her vision went dark like snowflakes on an old television screen.
Song Yu lost her balance and almost fell back. Fortunately, Qi Chengyue caught her in time.
"Are you okay?" Qi Chengyue asked anxiously.
Song Yu frowned. After a while, the snowflakes in front of her disappeared, and her vision became clear again.
She shook her head. "I'm fine. Maybe I was a little violent when I got up."
"Are you really okay?" Qi Chengyue was still worried. She might not be on good terms with Song Yu right now, but just now, she couldn't help but pour out all her troubles in front of Song Yu. Imperceptibly, her relationship with Song Yu improved.
Most importantly, if something really happened to Song Yu when they were together and Qi Chengzhi found out, she really couldn't bear the responsibility.
Especially since her past record was too bad and she had always been rude to Song Yu, Qi Chengzhi probably wouldn't believe her easily even if she said she was innocent.
Finally, after settling the bill, Qi Chengyue sent Song Yu back to the company.
Ruan Danchen didn't know about Qi Chengyue's previous hostility towards Song Yu. When she saw Qi Chengyue send Song Yu back to her office and instruct her to go to the hospital or look for Qi Chengzhi if anything happened, Ruan Danchen thought that the two of them had always been on good terms.
Ruan Danchen said in admiration, "Song Yu, you're really … I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with sister-in-law."
"…" Song Yu suddenly felt that Ruan Danchen's focus was always different from ordinary people.
…
…
After Qi Chengyue left the city, she got into the car and didn't know where to go.
She drove to Qi Lin's building and looked at the door, but she couldn't take a step out.
She couldn't help but think that if she wasn't born in the Qi family, she wouldn't have any value. She wouldn't have met Jian Yi and wouldn't have experienced such a marriage.
She hesitated for a moment and turned to leave.
She walked aimlessly and suddenly stopped. She looked up at the sky and sighed heavily. She sadly realized that other than being lucky and being born in the Qi family, she was a failure in other aspects.
"I'm at the entrance of the coffee shop where we agreed to meet. He hasn't arrived yet. When he arrives, I'll tell him everything. I won't waste time talking to him." Qi Chengyue suddenly heard a woman's voice. She turned her head and realized that she had stopped at the entrance of a coffee shop near Qi Lin.
When she retracted her gaze, she couldn't help but glance at the woman on the phone. She felt that she looked familiar.
Qi Chengyue stared at the woman and thought for a long time. She remembered that the woman was Cheng Dongge's girlfriend. She had been to Qi Lin a few times before. She had been waiting for Cheng Dongge to get off work in the lobby. Qi Chengyue had seen her before, but she hadn't greeted her. She had some impression of her.
However, she couldn't remember her name.
She heard that Cheng Dongge had proposed to her. She looked at her left hand that was holding the phone and saw that she was indeed wearing a diamond ring on her middle finger.
As she thought about it, she heard the woman say, "Don't worry. I won't be soft-hearted. I've long been disappointed in him. He's usually so busy, but he's always working for someone else. He hasn't achieved anything after all these years. He's just a small assistant. If he's capable, he's busy for himself. That's why he doesn't have time to accompany me. I've tolerated it. But he's working for someone else. I haven't seen him get promoted in all these years. He works overtime all the time and doesn't see me all day. What's the difference between having a boyfriend and not having one? "
"He's already like this before getting married. What will happen after getting married? He doesn't take me seriously at all. He's never there when I need him. He doesn't know what I want at all. It doesn't matter if it's a holiday or an anniversary, it's all dinner and flowers. There's no sincerity at all. Actually, I've long lost feelings for him. It's all because he knelt down and proposed to me in front of so many people. I pitied him and didn't want to embarrass him, so I reluctantly agreed. After all, I've been in a relationship with him for so many years. I can't bear to lose him. "
The woman held the phone in her other hand. She straightened her left hand and looked at the diamond ring on her middle finger. She said disdainfully, "But he really put in a lot of effort to give me this ring. I'll keep the ring."
"…"
"Don't overthink it. I still have him in my heart. You know that I like you now. I'm just leaving the ring to give him some face. You don't know, but he's a very prideful person. Even if I return the ring to him, he'll still ask me to keep it. He won't take back what he gave away. Since he wants to pretend to be magnanimous, I'll help him by leaving the ring. "
"…"
"He's here. I'll stop talking."
"…"
"I love you, too."
The woman hung up the phone. Her originally disdainful expression instantly turned gentle. She lowered her head slightly and held her bag with both hands in front of her. She even had a worried and pitiful look on her face.
Qi Chengyue was speechless. She was so angry at the woman's shamelessness that she forgot about her disappointment and sadness in her marriage.
She followed the woman's gaze and saw Cheng Dongge walking in her direction.
Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, this steady and resourceful man had always been Qi Chengzhi's most trusted helper.
Qi Chengyue had heard from Qi Chenglin that after Qi Zhongliang and Qi Zhongxun retired in the future, Qi Chengzhi intended to make Cheng Dongge the General Manager of Qilin Real Estate. This was also the reason why Qi Chengzhi had allowed Cheng Dongge to participate in many of the company's important businesses in the past few years.
That woman was the truly stupid one to look down on such a man.
"Why aren't you waiting inside?" Cheng Dongge walked over with a slight frown.
Qi Chengyue could tell that even though he was too busy with work and didn't have much time to spend with his fiancée, his strict care and love were still there.
Qi Chengyue was very envious. Before today, she was willing to trade everything for advice for him to treat her like this.
The woman was about to speak when Cheng Dongge noticed Qi Chengyue standing in place, forgetting to hide.
"Miss Qi," Cheng Dongge called out in surprise.
Qi Chengyue nodded faintly, but Cheng Dongge's fiancée was shocked.
When she had been on the phone, she had noticed that Qi Chengyue was also standing to the side as if waiting for someone.
She didn't know Qi Chengyue, so she didn't care and just treated her as a stranger. It didn't matter even if she heard her on the phone. She didn't expect this woman to know Cheng Dongge, so she immediately panicked.
"Aren't you going to introduce us?" Qi Chengyue raised her brows and looked at the woman mockingly.
Cheng Dongge didn't know what Qi Chengyue was thinking, but he still said, "This is my fiancée, Huang Ziyue. Ziyue, this is the fifth daughter of the Qi family."
Huang Ziyue's expression changed, and her smile stiffened as she called out, "Miss Qi."
Qi Chengyue nodded and said, "I won't disturb you anymore."
With that, she turned and walked away. Huang Ziyue immediately let out a sigh of relief. She had been quite afraid that Qi Chengyue would tell Cheng Dongge about what had just happened.
Cheng Dongge and Huang Ziyue entered the cafe. Qi Chengyue clenched her fists and stopped in her tracks.
"Qi Chengyue, this has nothing to do with you. Don't meddle in other people's business," she whispered to herself, but her legs didn't listen to her and she walked back.
Because of Jian Yi's deception and fooling, she couldn't stand it when people played love games and used money and status to measure love. She couldn't stand to see someone who was serious about love and marriage being played like a fool by the person she loved.
Her legs uncontrollably walked back to the cafe, and through the glass, she saw Cheng Dongge and Huang Ziyue inside.
Cheng Dongge's face was very dark, and his expression was stiff. He tried his best to endure, but he didn't do anything like begging bitterly.
Huang Ziyue, on the other hand, looked pitiful and guilty. She didn't know what she said, but Qi Chengyue guessed that she was definitely pretending to be a white lotus.
