Chapter 61 - Look Forward (2)

The two exchanged greetings, and Lu Li finally sent Bai Qianying away. She remembered what Bai Qianying had said just now, picked up her mobile phone, and sent a WeChat message to Chi Chenyan.

[Husband, do you think I only know how to spend money?]

[Are you secretly complaining that I spend a lot and is just embarrassed to tell me?]

In the office, Chi Chenyan saw the WeChat that Lu Li sent over.

When the man saw the content of the messages, his expression was a bit suspicious.

Why did Lu Li suddenly asked him this?

After all, in the past three years, when they were still a fake couple, he signed her monthly bills without saying a word.

In fact, Lu Li didn’t intend to use his money when she got married. The Lu family gave her a card. He took the initiative to give Lu Li his card so that she could use it in the future.

Lu Li held his card for the first two months and didn’t use it, so he took the initiative to charge all of her consumption to his own account. After this, Lu Li finally used it after seeing that he really wanted to raise her.

When Chi Chenyan saw Lu Li’s emoji, he couldn’t help but smile.

He replied: [No.]

[You are good.]

Lu Li smiled when she saw the message from her husband.

After Qian Yong sent Lu Li home, he reported the Madam’s itinerary to Chi Chenyan as usual.

Chi Chenyan was stunned when she heard that Lu Li went out and met the female designer Bai Qianying and the two spoke.

He didn’t know when did Lu Li met Bai Qianying.

If it hadn’t been for Qian Yong mentioning this name, he realized that he hadn’t thought of Bai Qianying for a long, long time.

Last time that he heard her name was five years ago. The domestic media reported that the graduation design of a Chinese designer named Bai Qianying had won an international award, and it was rumored that the award-winning design was to commemorate her first love.

He had just taken over Shengjing at that time, and he was busy day and night that he had just occasionally glanced at the news and then forgot about it.

It seemed that the first love that was mentioned in the news had nothing to do with him.

Chi Chenyan suddenly found that he no longer remembered how it started, or why it ended. He only remembered that in the third year of high school, the two of them had a brief relationship for half a semester.

Chi Chenyan began to sort out the documents on the desk.

Some things that had passed are already in the past. People always have to look forward. The two parallel lines may have intersected, but after they separated, they are destined to become parallel lines again.

…

Lu Li returned home, handed the shopping bags to the servants and asked them to put it in the cloakroom, and then told Qiao Jiayi about what happened with Bai Qianying.

She then relayed to Qiao Jiayi the conversation she had with Bai Qianying today.

Lu Li: [Am I thinking too much?]

[What’s wrong with being a rich lady? Every day I eat, drink and buy anything without going to work, and my husband earns money for me to spend. If you go to the street and ask about this kind of life, everyone will want their life to be the same, okay?]

[Yes there are career women in this world, and everyone should praise them. After all, they are capable and talented, but why should people praise them and at the same time belittle us non-professional women?]

[There’s not stealing or snatching, everyone’s choices are different.]

Lu Li finished her long rant and waited for Qiao Jiayi’s reply.

Qiao Jiayi usually doesn’t leave her mobile phone, and usually replies within seconds. She doesn’t know why but this time, she did not reply for a full ten minutes.

Lu Li sent a ‘poke’.

Finally, Qiao Jiayi’s reply came.

[You… met Bai Qianying?]

Lu Li: [Yes, she was inspecting the decoration in her shop.]

Qiao Jiayi hesitated to speak and then stopped, seeming to feel that typing is complicated, and directly called Lu Li.

Lu Li answered the phone: “Hey, do you think I’m right?”

Qiao Jiayi took a deep breath, feeling that the development was very dramatic: “I had a date with my boyfriend this afternoon.”

Lu Li: “I know, I asked you earlier. Why are you talking about this?”

Qiao Jiayi: “Have you ever asked Chi Chenyan?”

Lu Li didn’t know why her husband was brought up again: “What?”

Qiao Jiayi: “Uh… when I sent you the photo today, my boyfriend, who was beside me saw it.”

Lu Li: “And then?”

Qiao Jiayi: “He studied in China during his high school. He recognized it and said that Bai Qianying went to the same high school as him.”

“And you husband, Chi Chenyan, also attended the same high school.”

Lu Li frowned: “What’s the matter?”

Qiao Jiayi hesitated for a while before she finally said: “Forget it, I won’t say it.”

“It’s all in the past.”

It was her tone of voice that made Lu Li even more curious.

And at the same time, she had a bad feeling.

She said: “Say it quickly, don’t hide it from me.”

“Okay.” Qiao Jiayi sighed, “My boyfriend, Bai Qianying, and your husband attended the same high school. He said that when they were at school, your husband dated Bai Qianying.”

“Your husband is so handsome, rich, has good grades, and the school grass, so many people in the school knows about this incident with the little school flower,”

When Qiao Jiayi heard Lu Li’s silence, she suddenly became anxious again.

“But I don’t think that it matters! It’s been almost ten years, who can remember that clearly! And this dog man has always had a bad memory, and can even forget my birthday, he must have remembered it wrong.”

[T/N: Dog is a slang that is used as a derogatory or self-mocking word.]

“And even if it is not, it’s already in the past. You have to look forward.”

“This dog man even talks about his ex-girlfriends in the U.S. Why would he even talk about those things with me? Damn!”

“But Bai Qianying is really kind of a b i tch. After breaking up, she dedicated her graduation work to her ex-boyfriend. This is really disgusting.”

“I won’t buy her brand again! I’ve also done a background check!”

“She said hello when she meets you, isn’t she supposed to take a detour? What does she mean when she greets you?”

“Chi Chenyan must have known that she is a b i tch before breaking up with her.”

“Besides, he was still young during high school, so I can understand him. Your husband is with you now and is more affectionate that anyone else. Eh…”

Qiao Jiayi was
