    Lu Qisheng is a man of his word.

    After agreeing to Xue Xue, he quickly visited Xue’s house in Huaibei.

    Unfortunately, Xue Xue happened to be looking for Xue Mao and Wang Xiaolan when Lu Qisheng came. When she got home and heard Lin Xiyun mentioned it, she realized that the three men were discussing business in the study.

    “The engagement doesn’t count anymore.”

    Xue Xue, who was about to go upstairs, paused when he heard what Lin Xiyun said.

    Looking back, he saw Lin Xiyun looking at him with a complicated expression.

    What Xue Mingzhu did had a huge impact on Lin Xiyun. The woman had lost weight visibly. Although she still maintained the graceful posture of a lady in front of others, her weakened spirit made her look several years older.

    The same situation also fell on Xue Mengwu.

    Although it is not stated explicitly, the clues can be seen from the sudden growth of hair between the temples and the gradual stooping of the back.

    After all, she was the daughter she had cherished for so many years. Even if what she did was chilling, she couldn’t just let her go.

    Xue Xue can understand but has no sympathy.

    In the final analysis, the fact that Xue Mingzhu became so selfish had a lot to do with the doting of Xue Mengwu and Lin Xiyun.

    Facing Xue Xue’s unwavering eyes, Lin Xiyun felt choked at first, and then suddenly felt a little sad and aggrieved.

    Mixed emotions came rushing up, making the woman’s face slightly distorted.

    “That’s good.” She smiled.”That paper engagement contract shouldn’t exist in the first place.”

    This is true.

    Xue Xue knew it, and Lin Xiyun also knew it.

    However, seeing the girl in front of him, who was very similar to himself when he was young, but less flamboyant and more carefree, Lin Xiyun suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

    The fierce but fleeting emotion disappeared before she had time to realize it.

    It’s just that my chest feels empty.

    “Is there anything else?” Faced with Lin Xiyun’s hesitation, Xue Xue’s expression was very calm.”If it’s okay, I’ll go up first.”

    Seeing Lin Xiyun still looking at him blankly, Xue Xue simply stopped wasting time and turned around to go upstairs.

    “Lu Qisheng is a good match.” Lin Xiyun’s voice came after she walked up two stairs.”I don’t know why you are so resistant to being with him. Is it just because he is the person we hope you can marry that you have to resist?”

    Lin Xiyun’s words were straightforward and his tone was sharp, with genuine doubts and no malice.

    Therefore, Xue Xue did not interrupt her, but listened to her continue: “Your adoptive parents did raise you very well, but they are not good at the field of vision. You must know that looking at the entire Huai City, Lu Qisheng may not be the best in all aspects, but taking everything into consideration, he can be ranked in the top three if not first.”

    “You only focus on holding grudges, but you never calm down and think about it carefully.”

    “Isn’t it good to just make mistakes like this…”

    “Not good.”

    Lin Xiyun was stunned.

    Xue Xue turned to face her again, but this time he was no longer indifferent, his eyes were full of…pity.

    The moment this thought crossed his mind, Lin Xiyun felt it was extremely ridiculous.

    “You…”

    “Maybe you think you can make do with mistakes in life, but I don’t want to.” Xue Xue paused.”Whether it’s love or family affection, the traces that have been broken will not disappear just because you pretend not to see them.”

    So people can only bravely face the less-than-perfect reality.

    Even if it’s painful.

    Xue Xue meant this, but Lin Xiyun suddenly turned pale because of these words.

    She intuitively felt that Xue Xue was mocking her.

    It satirizes her marriage, her ignorance of people, and her deception of herself and others. She uses self-anesthesia and self-comfort to muddle through this so-called second life.

    Xue Xue knew what Lin Xiyun was thinking with just one look.

    Although this was not her intention, she did not want to explain anything.

    “Don’t endure others’ suffering, and don’t encourage others to do good.” Xue Xue’s eyelashes fell, and she finally said: “Your choice may not be wrong, but you are not me, and I cannot make decisions for my life based on your feelings.”

    That is actually a kind of selfishness and a kind of forced sales.

    It’s just packaged in a decent way with the words “for your own good”.

    The essence will not change.

    Seeing Lin Xiyun leaving in despair, Xue Xue’s eyes moved and he almost blurted out to stop him.

    But she held back at the last moment.

    Having said that, it all depends on Lin Xiyun himself whether he can figure it out.

    When Xue Ci knocked on the door, Xue Xue was sorting out her clothes.

    Hearing the sound, she asked casually: “Who?”

    “It’s me.” The gentle baritone voice is highly recognizable.”Is it convenient to go in now?”

    Looking at his messy room, Xue Xue thought for a while and went to open the door for Xue Ci.

    “It’s a bit messy.”

    She gets vaccinated in advance.

    Xue Ci smiled and didn’t take it seriously.

    Only after he entered the room did he realize that the “a bit messy” the other party said was not just a polite joke.

    In addition to the clothes stacked on the bed, the floor is filled with all kinds of shoes and bags, and even the cosmetics on the dressing table have been put away, just to make room for the dazzling array of jewelry.

    Uninformed people might think that Xue Xue is preparing to move.

    “Mom probably bought these.” Picking up the shirts on the small sofa and putting them on the bed, Xue Xue reluctantly moved out of the way so that Xue Ci could sit down.“I don’t use a lot of things, and it would be a pity to have brand new ones gathering dust, so I plan to sort them out and put them up for auction online.”

    She explained: “Then the money will be donated in my mother’s name to those in need.”
