Chapter 195: Chapter 196: Things Stay the Same, But People Change(4)

As soon as those words were uttered, the face of Cai Yiren standing nearby turned ashen instantly.

It had been five years since he and Lu Weixi broke up. Five years ago, on the night they broke up, Lu Weixi slept with Qin Zhiyou, and the next day, she held Zhiyou’s hand and returned to the Qin Family’s mansion. Even before he could leave the country, she hurriedly married Zhiyou, becoming his sister-in-law.

Not long after Qin Zhigu left the country, he and Cai Yiren agreed to split. While abroad, he deliberately avoided finding out about her, committing himself to serious study and investigation. Throughout these five years, although he’s not been as “socially active” as Zhiyou, he wasn’t idle either. He had a few girlfriends.

There were Asian girls, as well as passionate Caucasian girls, and sexy, fiery Latinas. But with several breakups and reconciliations over the years, he always felt like there was something missing inside him.

It wasn’t until he participated in a European study tour organized by the School of Architecture, during which he went to southern Europe and saw the low-circling seabirds of the locale that he became a bit curious. A local fisherman told him these birds were remarkably faithful, living alone forever after losing their loved ones.

Hearing this story, most students in his school merely took extra photos to post on Twitter, while some boys scattered breadcrumbs and tiny fish to feed the birds. He, on the other hand, spent the entire night sitting on a seaside rock. The next day, he frantically visited all the buildings on the small island. Upon spotting any totems similar to these birds, he would earnestly take photos and keep note of them.

Days later, as his classmates went elsewhere for further exploration, he remained in place. From sunrise to sunset, he sat on the beachside rocks, watching the circling, grieving birds, and the thoughts going through his mind were entirely about the hopeful things a certain girl had once said.

It was her who led to his subsequent inspiration, and subsequently to Simon White.

But that girl, like the lost other half of the seabird, no longer belonged to him.

Qin Zhiyou glanced at his younger brother indifferently, “It doesn’t matter who you broke up with. After all, who doesn’t have a past? You’re rarely back, so just rest well. Your sister-in-law and I hope you get married soon, have a child that can play with ours.”

He and Lu Weixi were husband and wife. He legitimately possessed her body, her emotions, her everything.

Qin Zhigu understood. His gaze slightly darkened, seemingly wanting to say a lot, yet unable to utter a word at the moment. He remained standing in silence.

The toast hasn’t ended yet. Zhiyou disregarded his brother and moved on to the next table.

When the toasting concluded and the venue was being cleared for the dance floor, Zhiyou swept his gaze back and saw something shining not far behind where Zhigu was standing earlier.

While a waiter was sweeping the floor, Zhiyou swiftly approached and picked up an object from beneath the broom.

All the banquet attendees were present and saw him pick up a plastic hair clip with cheap rhinestones, which appeared to have been stepped on and damaged in the earlier commotion. How could such an inexpensive item, worth less than ten dollars, appear in such a high-end banquet hall?

Zhiyou suddenly clutched the hair clip tightly. He was initially supposed to announce the start of the dance and lead the first one. But, unexpectedly, he walked out of the banquet hall towards the guest cabins, disregarding everyone and still gripping the hair clip.
