"ah?"
She knew that Xiang Gexuan had just married Shang Ji not long ago, so how could they have divorced so soon?
How could someone be even worse off than her? Her unrequited love ended in heartbreak, while the person she was with ended up getting a divorce.
Hearing that the two were childhood sweethearts, just like her and Shao Jin, she had to pull herself together.
Shuzi pushed open the door and took her hand to go inside.
"Sisters, I've brought you a friend," Shuzi introduced as soon as she entered.
Ning Yijia felt that everyone on the sofa was looking at her, and she felt inexplicably nervous.
Shuzi seemed to have noticed this and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't be nervous, they are all friends, they are all very good people."
Shu Zi pulled her to sit between herself and Qiu Hu, and Ning Yijia instantly felt surrounded.
"What's wrong? Are you not used to so many people?" Qiu Hu noticed her nervousness and asked.
I'm still a socially awkward person.
"No." Ning Yijia took the wine that Shu Zi handed her, took a small sip, and placed the wine in her palm.
Qiu Hu saw all of this and felt a little awkward if she didn't tease her, so she started to joke, "I heard you won the competition and your value has gone up. The store was packed with people, and you still had time to come out for a drink?"
"What's wrong with me going out for drinks? Besides, my value has increased because I'm already very capable, don't you understand?"
"Yes, that's the right way to talk."
"you……"
"Why did you stop halfway through your story? Are you in a bad mood? Heartbroken and drowning your sorrows in alcohol?"
Damn, this woman's predictions always come true.
"If you don't say anything, then that's it."
Hearing about the breakup, Xiang Gexuan, who was crying nearby, sobered up a bit. "How come there are other people like me?"
She grabbed Xiang Gexuan's hand and said, "Sister, let me tell you, men are all untrustworthy, especially those scumbags. They say nice things, like they'll only ever be good to me, but it's all bullshit..."
Xiang Gexuan seemed to empathize, remembering that bastard Shao Jin, who had clearly promised her...
"You're right. He promised me that I would only sit in the passenger seat from now on, but look what happened! He let other people sit there, and he even let someone I hate sit there. Don't you think he's... isn't he? Waaah!"
Ning Yijia couldn't bring herself to curse, and after saying that, she cried along with Xiang Gexuan.
Qiu Hu sat between the two, his ears nearly driven mad by the noise.
Xiang Gexuan, still drunk, was still realizing something: "So, we can't just focus on love. Career is the key. Once my company surpasses his, I'll make sure he can never catch up to me."
"That makes sense."
"Come on, let's cheer each other on, the heartbroken alliance."
The two clinked glasses.
"Okay, keep it up!"
Qiu Hu sensed something was off. The Heartbroken Alliance—Xiang Gexuan was dating someone? Who was it? Could it be Shao Jin?
Curious, she asked, "Do you like Shao Jin?"
My goodness, this woman is terrifying; how did she guess it again?
“How…how is this possible?” Ning Yijia avoided her gaze.
Seeing her timid and hesitant demeanor, Qiu Hu instantly understood, "That's it."
"Huh? Sister, you like him? Everyone knows Shao Jin is against marriage!" Xiang Gexuan asked in surprise, still drunk.
Shao Jin is a staunch non-marriage advocate, which is well-known in the industry. Therefore, women who have liked him in the past or present will not approach him.
Shuzi chimed in, “Indeed, I’ve never seen any other woman with him, except for you.”
"That's because of my brother, and also because I've always been the one looking for him."
"..."
Ning Yijia and Shao Jin were childhood sweethearts. Because of Ning Yizhan, they often played together, and the competitive Ning Yijia was always bickering with him. However, after her brother became angry with her, Shao Jin began to frequently appear before her, comforting her and helping her solve any problems.
She didn't know when she started to fall in love with him, but she was happy whenever she saw him.
Later, she accidentally learned that it was her brother who had asked his good friend to keep an eye on his younger sister; it turned out that everything was arranged by her brother.
She was heartbroken for a long time, but it didn't matter; she was willing to continue like this.
However, she had a bad temper and a bad personality. She and his cousin were mortal enemies. When he saw his mortal enemy get into the passenger seat, which was clearly a seat that should have been hers, Shao Jin did not react at all.
This time, she was really angry.
Shao Jin never belonged to her, so she wouldn't force it.
After that day, she had her family arrange a driver, and she never wanted Shao Jin's passenger seat again.
After returning from the competition, she was so busy that she had no time to think about Shao Jin.
Until I heard what Shao Jin said last time.
"Then why don't you tell him? Otherwise he'll never know," Shuzi asked.
“I heard what they said last night; he doesn’t like me.”
Qiu Hu remembered what happened last night. She was the one who asked the question. She had noticed the trend and asked, but Shao Jin denied it outright, and she didn't expect Ning Yijia to hear it.
Xiang Gexuan's drunken ramblings came again: "If you ask me, you should really torment him. Why should you be the only one suffering? Make him fall in love with you, and then dump him."
“That makes sense.” Ning Yijia nodded.
Qiu Hu and Shu Zi looked at each other, then both lowered their heads. These two had gone mad.
Ning Yizhan came to pick up Qiu Hu, but unexpectedly, the drunken Ning Yijia was also there. He asked Shao Jin behind him to take her back.
"What are you doing, drinking so much!" Shao Jin frowned as he glanced at Ning Yijia, who was so drunk she could barely stand.
As they helped her outside to get into the car, she suddenly said, "I'm not going, I'm not riding in your car."
