“Yuanhang!” Su Ye stood up and hissed at him, “How can you talk to Tao like that?”

Qian Tao was not angry. She lowered her head and gave a smile. “Aunty, I’m a little tired and would like to rest.”

“Tao, don’t be angry.”

“Mom, what exactly did she tell you?”

“She…”

Su Ye was interrupted by Qian Tao, “It was Aunty who told me something. She asked if we can still be together but I said impossible because Xiao Yuanhang doesn’t love me anymore.”

“Mother! Why did you ask her that? It was years ago when we were together. Now, it’s me and Churui who are getting married. What’s your purpose telling her all these?”

“Shut up!” Su Ye raged, “I did this for your sake! You are in a momentary pique! If you don’t marry Tao, you will regret in future! I won’t care anymore!”

Su Ye turned immediately after she spoke and saw a person standing at the door.

“Churui…”

Qian Churui stood there, her both eyes were red. Obviously, she had heard the last sentence.

Although Su Ye didn’t like Qian Churui, she didn’t want to hurt her. Seeing her cry, she felt uncomfortable.

Qian Churui wiped away her tears and said in a grievous manner, “Yuanhang, if you still love Sis, we are not married yet and if you regret, you can still change your mind. I… won’t bother the both of you…”

“Churui!” yelled Xiao Yuanhang while dashing toward Qian Churui. He turned and shouted at her mother, “Mother, please don’t meddle in my affairs next time!”

After saying that, he told Qian Tao who had been keeping quiet, “You too, Qian Tao! Don’t ever get yourself into petty, mean actions! Don’t let me look down upon you!”

Qian Tao felt dreary.

Since he started despising her, even if she did nothing, he would still look down upon her.

Xiao Yuanhang chased after Qian Churui while Su Ye stood there, unsure of what to do. Before she could speak, Qian Tao who just had a hollow laugh consoled her, “Aunty, I’m fine. It’s impossible for both of us to patch up. He doesn’t love me anymore and he is really going to marry Churui. I’ll give them my blessings. So, aunty, Can I take a rest now?”

Su Ye was unsure if she was wrong meddling with this. She apologized on behalf of Xiao Yuanhang and went downstairs.

Qian Tao closed the door. She leaned against the door and took a deep breath.

She rejoiced that Qian Churui was going to be married to the Xiao family so she won’t have to see both of them every day. Her days would be relatively easy.

***

Only Xiao Wanfeng and Su Ye left that night.

“Why are you sighing?”

“I don’t understand our son, a few years ago, he was madly in love with Tao and would not marry anyone else but her.”

“Forget about it, let him be. There’s no use of us liking Tao. He should be the one who likes her. You are not living on his behalf. If both of them don’t click, even if he marries Tao, there’s no use.”

“But Churui…”

“Her mother is a mistress, not her. Don’t take it out on the child.”

Clap…

Su Ye suddenly clapped her hand once, eyes widening and stared at Xiao Wanfeng. “Darling, do you think… is it possible that Yuanhang and Tao were separated by Churui?”

“That’s a wild guess!”

***

It was Saturday afternoon.

“Tao, how confident are you in the competition?”

“It goes without saying, Tao will definitely be the champion.”

There, at a restaurant table, sat several young men and women.
