Chapter 193: Chapter 194: Things Stay the Same, But People Change (2)

Cai Yiren first appeared on the day of her tenth birthday. Her father was an entrepreneur just starting out, and his company was yet small. Cai Yiren’s mother was hired at that time to work for her father’s company. She was a single mother who came from a remote mountainous region and had been deceived by her boyfriend while she was working at the age of eighteen. Alone, she gave birth to Cai Yiren. She was gentle and hardworking, and given her underprivileged circumstances, Cai Yiren’s grandmother felt pity for her and often provided financial assistance.

After Cai Yiren’s mother had worked for a few years, she brought Cai Yiren from their rural hometown to live with them and transferred her to the same school as Lu Weixi.

Cai Yiren was just like her mother, gentle, quiet, and seemingly endlessly patient—at least on the surface. No matter how spoiled and willful Lu Weixi behaved, Cai Yiren would never get upset; she would always calmly help out. Cai Yiren lived and attended school with her and even moved in near her home. Lu Weixi was used to having her around and ordering her about, and over time, came to expect the constant support of Cai Yiren, who acted as something of a sidekick, even when Lu Weixi was in a relationship.

To be fair, as for looks, Cai Yiren and her mother did not match up to Lu Weixi and her mother, they are what one might call modest beauties.

But perhaps no man can resist a woman who is gentle, who worships him wholeheartedly, and who silently gives everything of herself—even if he already has another attractive partner by his side. This was true of Bai Changyou, as it was for Qin Zhigu.

The sea breeze was slightly strong. Despite being in the tropics, Lu Weixi began to feel a touch of chill. She squinted her eyes, her hands clutching a briefcase. Inside was a carefully revised interior design draft for Mr. Liao that she had put a lot of time and effort into. She looked quietly at the folder for a moment, then with a few ripping sounds, she tore the documents in half, then shredded them further.

With her eyes half-closed, she watched as the pieces of paper, into which much time and effort had been invested, float on the sea breeze, like butterflies, out over the water.

The chaos she had just experienced subsided and now she felt calm and composed, clearer minded than ever before.

Qin Zhigu was Simon White, and Cai Yiren, like her, had studied interior design. Qin Zhigu returned to his home country, and so did Cai Yiren. She didn’t know if Bai Changyou’s business would move back home as well.

Qin Zhigu took on the architectural design job for Mr. Liao, and she didn’t know if Cai Yiren would take on the interior design job. But regardless, she made up her mind not to show up anywhere Qin Zhigu would be.

She had many opportunities in the future, there was plenty of time. There was no need for her to be hung up on Mr. Liao’s business proposal.

After all the documents had fallen into the sea, she finally looked away, dusted off her hands, and turned to leave.

No sooner had Lu Weixi left than a man in a silver-gray suit appeared not far behind her. It was Zhao Zihuan.

Over the course of several years of treatment, he gradually came to know that his patient’s daughter was the wife of Qin Zhiyou, the CEO of Hanhai Group. Once he knew the identity of Miss Bai, everything about her past feuds and friendships with Qin Zhiyou and Qin Zhigu became clear.

At first, he assumed that Lu Weixi was just an underappreciated wife of Qin Zhiyou, a backup picked up from his younger brother. Qin Zhiyou is known to be a womanizer with many acquaintances. However, it seems it’s not that simple.

As for Qin Zhigu, it’s said that he dismissed a true heiress, opting instead for an imitation who was nothing compared to her..
