Chapter 427: Chapter 427: She’s Too Stunning

Qiao Xi grabbed Shu Xue’s hand and looked at her as she spoke, "You have heard it, I have a heavy responsibility to keep you here."

Shu Xue sobbed hard, her voice heavy with nasal tears, "Even you are siding with that scumbag."

Qiao Xi smiled gently, "How could that be? If he truly lets you down, I’ll scold him."

Qiao Xi pulled her along to the hotel’s leisure area, where an enthusiastic server brought them two glasses of lemon water.

Qiao Xi pulled out a tissue and handed it to Shu Xue.

Shu Xue took the tissue and wiped her cheeks, then tossed it aside.

Her mouth felt parched, and taking a sip of the lemon water, she found it sour—just like her mood.

She nearly spat it out.

"Server, could we get a cup of warm water here?" Qiao Xi raised her voice to call out.

The server apologized and poured a cup of warm water.

After drinking a big gulp, Shu Xue’s anger dissipated quite a bit; however, her mood became even more complicated.

Qiao Xi spoke softly, "You came to me for an invitation to avoid being discovered by Zhou Yu. Did you know about him and Xie Liuzheng?"

Shu Xue nodded.

She cradled the glass with both hands, her face showing a touch of sadness, "I had suspicions a few days ago. He was always on his phone, looking through documents, and I saw his browser history—he was following news about Xie Liuzheng."

At that time, she wondered who Xie Liuzheng was.

Later, unintentionally tidying up the house, she found a box of well-hidden design drafts.

In that instant, she understood that Xie Liuzheng was the person Zhou Yu kept close to his heart.

A person of significant importance.

Just now, hearing their conversation in the hall, Shu Xue realized that Xie Liuzheng was even more significant to him than she had estimated!

So significant, like a large stone pressing on her heart.

Heavy and suffocating.

"Qiao Xi, I came here to see what kind of woman Xie Liuzheng really is. Zhou Yu and I were about to get our marriage certificates."

Qiao Xi asked, "Have you got your answer now?"

Shu Xue gave a bitter smile, "I have. I just realized that Zhou Yu can be so crazy in love. Whereas our relationship was a product of passion, and because his enthusiasm had not faded, he hesitantly agreed to marry me because he couldn’t let go."

She felt utterly inferior compared to Xie Liuzheng’s dazzling background—ashamed and unworthy!

She didn’t even dare approach her earlier to boldly declare her territory by saying, "Hello, I am Zhou Yu’s fiancée."

No wonder Zhou Yu once had such a beautiful and elegant woman; it’s hardly surprising that he chose not to marry afterward.

Because no other woman could compare to Xie Liuzheng!

"Shu Xue, I think you should give Zhou Yu a chance to explain. The issue between him and Xie Liuzheng might simply be his pride in not accepting being kicked out; perhaps it’s just his lack of reconciliation."

Qiao Xi was genuinely worried they would break up so easily, which she found very regrettable.

It had not been easy to get to this point, and she had seen the changes in Zhou Yu.

Shu Xue sniffled, "Qiao Xi, do you think I’m just jealous and upset?"

Qiao Xi countered, "Isn’t that the case? Is there something else?"

Shu Xue shook her head, "Qiao Xi, I’m just feeling sorry for myself. In you and Xie Liuzheng, I see the same essence."

Qiao Xi frowned, "What’s that?"

Shu Xue looked at her seriously and said, "Both you and Xie Liuzheng have confidence. You fight for the careers you love. You married Huo Xingzhou without being his accessory, and Xie Liuzheng is proud even when she’s single. But I’m different..."

Shu Xue gave a bitter laugh, "I am constrained by this society, pressured by my parents to find a partner and marry, arranged by them to become a nurse. I have lived a life walking a path set out by others, that’s why I go to bars at night to vent, to rebel."

She wanted to be an individualist but lacked the means.

She could only be an indulgent coward!

"Goofing around with Zhou Yu was the most outrageous thing I’ve ever done. Ordinary people like me are dull specks of dust. But you all are like beams of light, wherever you go, you illuminate yourselves."

"Qiao Xi, what saddens me isn’t Zhou Yu’s constant longing for Xie Liuzheng. It’s the realization that I am pathetic. Once Zhou Yu and I are married, after the honeymoon we will resort to the mundane life of daily chores. Perhaps the most remarkable sight I’ll have ever seen in my life is the person that is Zhou Yu."

What a pitiful existence life is!

Her heart turned into a tangled mess, a surge of emotions rising within.

Jealousy toward Xie Liuzheng, hatred of her own mediocrity, anger at Zhou Yu.

Intertwined together, they nearly ripped her apart.

Qiao Xi could feel her profound sadness. She softly began, "Shu Xue, you are also great. You work hard, have a cheerful personality, and many people enjoy being your friend. You easily solve many of my problems and even risk your safety to save me in critical moments."

Every person, no matter how ordinary, has their shine.

"But everyone thinks I’m out of my league with Zhou Yu. I’ve even started to ridiculously understand him, why he can’t forget Xie Liuzheng! If I had ever had such a partner, it would be hard for me to forget too."

Xie Liuzheng was elegant and broad-minded, never showing a hint of sourness or jealousy. Her eyebrows and eyes always composed and gentle.

She was a rising star in architectural design.

The appearance of Xie Liuzheng abruptly woke her up from the muddled love and desires of the worldly life!

Gazing enviously at another world that glittered brightly.

Qiao Xi opened her mouth, unsure of how to comfort her.

Shu Xue emanated a sense of devastating sorrow; her love had taken a blow, and her self-esteem and confidence had been thoroughly ground down.

To be compared with a superior ex-girlfriend left the current one feeling ashamed and questioning life.

Shu Xue wiped her cheeks with her hands and said, "Qiao Xi, my mind is a mess right now. I want to go home first..."

"But Zhou Yu..."

"Don’t talk to me about that scumbag. I need some time to cool off."

Seeing her so disheartened, Qiao Xi suggested, "I’ll have Old Chen take you home, that way I’ll feel more reassured."

Between Zhou Yu and her sisters, she naturally chose to support her sisters!

Indeed, it was Zhou Yu who was at fault from the beginning.

Still living in a house designed by his ex, keeping his things, and encounters that led to misunderstandings.

Shu Xue said hoarsely, "Thank you."

Qiao Xi watched Shu Xue out of Manyue Grand Hotel before folding back to the salon’s lobby. Zhou Yu was surrounded by a crowd, extremely busy.

The moment he saw her, he extricated himself from the group and rushed over, anxiously asking, "Sister-in-law, where is she?"

Qiao Xi answered calmly, "She went home."

"Why did you let her go home! This is going to be troublesome now... She moved back to her parents’ place a few days ago."

Zhou Yu back then thought she really wanted to be with her parents, not realizing she was covertly jealous.

Shu Xue is very temperamental; the last time in a fit of anger, she broke up and went on blind dates. Who knows, this time, hurt and provoked, she might just find a man and get married.

Qiao Xi watched his solemn expression and couldn’t help saying, "Mr. Zhou, I’m going to ask you three questions. Answer me truthfully this time, okay?"

"You ask."

Zhou Yu saw Qiao Xi as a life-saving straw. If only she would speak a few good words in front of Shu Xue on his behalf, this issue might just blow over.

Thus, he waited respectfully for Qiao Xi to speak.
