Chapter 969: A Bitter Past
Jia Qiulian's voice was neither loud nor soft. Both of them could hear it clearly in the quiet room.
Han Cihui nodded and said nothing. He waited for her to continue.
Actually, even though Jia Qiulian didn't say it, he already guessed it.
With his years of experience as a director, this kind of thing can be guessed just by looking at one angle.
Jia Qiulian pursed her lips and continued. "We were classmates in high school. At that time, my parents were still alive and we were quite rich. My father had a company, and although the business was not very big, the situation we are in is much better than a normal family."
"In my high school years, I actually did not like him. I felt we were still young and not suitable for dating. But he pursued me incessantly, no matter how much I pushed him away. Every day after school, he would wait for me outside the classroom door until I came out. He would follow me and send me home unobtrusively. In the morning, he would also wait downstairs first, waiting for me to come down. Followed me and sent me to school."
"Maybe because of his sincerity and because I felt his love for me really moved me; when we graduated from high school, I said if he could go to college with me, I would agree to be with him."
Han Cihui pursed his lips mockingly. Without saying anything, he just smiled coldly.
Jia Qiulian glanced at him and bit her lip. "I think you could have guessed that. He enrolled in the same college as me. I have a lot of male classmates, and I feel like I should be able to talk to them even though I have a suitor by my side. But... At the end of the day, I am more familiar with him. Moreover, he's been after me since high school, so I fell in love with him."
"In my sophomore year, my father helped me contact a college in America. He wanted me to study here. At that time, Zhao Kang and I were very much in love. I wanted to break up with him. After all, it is very difficult to establish a long-distance relationship. But he knelt down and begged me not to leave him. I didn't say anything. Then he went to find my father. I don't know what he said to my father. My father also transferred him to another college and he came here with me to study."
When she said this, Jia Qiulian's eyelashes suddenly trembled. A lot of pain filled her eyes.
"But I never thought that the year after we came to America, my parents died in a car accident. I was very sad and desperate. He was... He was by my side, comforting me and giving me courage. Then I walked out of the pain. It was only then that I learned my father's company had been forcibly snatched away by my uncle. They still had a conscience. They left me some money, but that money was barely enough to pay for my college tuition."
"At that time, Zhao Kang and I were faced with a choice. I did not know what I was thinking, but maybe it was because of his sweet words, or maybe it was because I loved him so much that I decided to give up my studies. I sold my house and opened a shop here. This was to maintain Zhao Kang's tuition fees and our living expenses."
"I thought after Zhao Kang graduated, we would be fine. He would get a good job and I would continue to sell my flowers. Our life would have been better, but a few months ago, Zhao Kang suddenly demanded fifty thousand yuan from me. When I asked him why, he said nothing. I didn't have that much money, but I couldn't stand his sweet words. Finally, I decided to sell the shop and when I put the money in his hand, I saw his happy face. At the time, I thought it was all worth it."
"As long as he was happy, as long as I could see his smile, it was worth it. But ... I didn't think he was really ... that there was another girl. The day after I gave him the money, I saw him in expensive clothes. He came out of an expensive car, and next to him was a girl. That unspeakable nervousness, especially when he went to open the back door, that's when I knew he actually used the money I gave to him to make other people happy."
"Even though I was standing ten meters away watching, I could guess it. That girl is his new girlfriend and the two elders who got down from the back seat are her parents. He must have been so close to her to the point of meeting her parents. I was very sad. Really, I gave him everything I had, including the last inheritance left by my parents. I gave him everything without holding anything back. I didn't think after everything I did for him, he would betray me. I was in a state of despair at that time."
Han Cihui suddenly reached out his hand and pulled Jia Qiulian into his arms.
This kind of thing, even if it happened to other people, they would also be in despair.
At first, Jia Qiulian thought that she would get Zhao Kang's love after giving everything and giving all her love. However, she didn't think it was all a scam.
Especially when her parents had passed away. There was no comfort, and there was no escape. There was only deep despair.
Jia Qiulian held back the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes and sniffled in Han Cihui's arms. She smiled sternly and said, "It's fine. Thank goodness you sent me the text messages. Really, Han Cihui. You don't know how much your two ordinary-looking text messages mean to me. I really wanted to die, but when I saw those text messages, I suddenly really wanted to live. I wanted to live well."
At this moment, Han Cihui was deeply grateful to Han Yuanjun in his heart. If it wasn't for him calling Jia Qiulian, Han Cihui wouldn't have sent those two text messages.
If it weren't for Han Yuanjun's encouragement, Han Cihui would have been separated from Jia Qiulian forever.
Han Cihui held Jia Qiulian's shoulder tightly as if he wanted to give her strength and courage. He squeezed her shoulder so tightly that she felt a little pain from his grip.
However, Jia Qiulian didn't say anything because Han Cihui's actions made her feel calm.
She knew that Han Cihui was afraid and that he almost lost her forever.
