Lin Sui called the insurance company, apologized to the owner of the car that was rear-ended, and walked home in a daze.
Her heart was completely occupied by Cheng Yi's words.
"He's getting married, he's getting married..." Lin Sui kept muttering to himself as if he was chanting a spell.
Although she knew that Qin Chen would get married one day, she naively believed that day would never come.
When they returned to the villa, Zhou Dang was not at home. Lin Sui was happy and opened a bottle of his wine directly. She got herself drunk in a few gulps. She hadn't drunk alcohol in five years.
When people are drunk, they become bolder.
She found the familiar profile picture and clicked on it without hesitation this time.
Haha, he didn't even block her. It shows that he doesn't care about her. After all, it's been five years and he hasn't deleted her.
Qin Chen doesn’t post much on his Moments, most of them are forwarded news, and he only posted a photo of a woman two days ago.
Lin Sui enlarged the photo. It was a woman who looked completely different from her. She was charming, bright and generous. She looked a few years younger than her and her clothes looked very expensive and decent.
The woman is holding a bouquet of roses in her hand and there is a cake in front of her with the words: Happy Birthday.
It's so nice to celebrate birthday together.
Lin Sui enlarged the photo until it could not be enlarged any further, and tears fell one by one on the photo, blurring and distorting the happiness of another woman.
She turned off her cell phone, drank another bottle of wine, and fell into a deep sleep. It seemed that only by falling asleep could she stop feeling the real pain in her heart.
In the morning, Lin Sui was woken up by his alarm clock, and his head was throbbing with pain from the hangover.
She was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had an interview today. She packed up her things hastily and walked to the garage as usual, only to remember that her car had been sent for repair. Looking at the garage full of luxury cars, Lin Sui finally chose to walk two kilometers to take the bus.
After taking two buses, Lin Sui arrived at the agreed coffee shop at the last minute. Sitting in the corner seat, he met the person wearing a hat and a mask.
"I can't help it. I'm easily recognized now. Last time, I was chased and scolded by a group of people, and I almost got beaten up." The woman sighed, as calmly as if she was talking about someone else's business.
Lin Sui smiled comfortingly. She suddenly wanted to throw away the original interview outline. She took a big sip of water and got straight to the point.
"Are you really doing this for money?"
The woman took off her mask, revealing a beautiful face, and nodded.
"yes!"
"Don't you have any hardship?"
The woman snorted and laughed.
"Why do you always ask me if I have any difficulties? Do I have a sick family member or a huge debt behind my pursuit of money?"
Lin Sui curled his lips and said, "Because most people are like this."
"I'm not. Even though people are lining up to curse me from street to street, I can't make it up. My family isn't rich, but we can get by. I broke up with my boyfriend because I've had enough of hard times."
Lin Sui thought about the Weibo post she had seen. The little happiness in life that she had shared before were indeed not that rich.
"Do you know what it's like to have a birthday with only a palm-sized cake?
Do you know that when we go to eat hot pot, we have to save up discount coupons for a long time. When we pay the bill at the hot pot restaurant, we have to take out the coupons one by one and everyone around us looks at us. How does it feel?
Do you know what it feels like to only be able to buy discounted clothes, eat discounted food, and live a discounted life?
I know he treats me well, but I just don’t want to continue with him.”
The woman covered her face, not wanting to be lost in her memories.
"Do you love him?" Lin Sui suddenly asked.
"I……"
The woman was silent for a long time, and suddenly she covered her face and cried.
She sobbed, and the sound was intermittent.
"But... love... can't be eaten... "
Lin Sui shook her head and sighed with a firm tone.
"If you really love him, you will regret it in the future."
Because she is.

After the interview, Lin Sui took the bus back to the company, finished writing the manuscript overnight, and sent it to the editor-in-chief's email.
The buses and subways had stopped running. Lin Sui was reluctant to spend money on a taxi, so she slept in the company for the night. The next day, she took out spare toothpaste and facial cleanser from the drawer and washed up in the company.
When her colleagues came to work one after another, they learned that she had completed a topic on Wednesday and started to scold her for being too ambitious.
She smiled and said she would treat everyone to milk tea after paying their wages.
Everyone scolded her for being stingy and not even willing to treat them to a meal. Lin Sui didn't respond. She really was reluctant to do so. She usually ate fast food and set a rule for herself to spend no more than 50 yuan a day, and save the rest.
Big Wang was very satisfied with Lin Sui's article, praising her for not blindly whitewashing the parties involved, nor blindly discrediting the parties involved. The article was both neutral and straightforward, which is the type most needed on the Internet nowadays.
After that, he gave Lin Sui another topic, which was to interview a rising star in the business world who had recently made the list of the top ten entrepreneurs in the city. When everyone heard this topic, they all scolded Big Lao Wang for being partial, for only giving such an easy topic to Lin Sui.
"If you can complete the entire process of selecting a topic in two days, I will also give you an easy topic."
Everyone snorted and shut up.
Lin Sui took the information handed to him by Lao Wang, opened it and took a look, and his whole body froze as if someone had pressed his acupoints.
She blinked and looked at the name again and again.
"Qin Chen...Qin Chen..."
"That's right. His company has been established for less than four years, but he has already squeezed into the top ten entrepreneurs. He is quite capable." Lao Wang rarely praises someone.
Wang Jinjin stood up again.
"I know him! Qin Chen is very handsome! My sister works at a business magazine and has been inviting him to be on the cover for a long time, but he never gave her the chance. I heard he's still single, a true bachelor. Big Boss Wang, you should have found an unmarried woman to interview him. Lin Sui, a married person, has wasted this great opportunity to find a partner."
"You might as well just say that you can go for the interview." Big Wang exposed Wang Jinjin without mercy.
Wang Jinjin was not embarrassed by being exposed. She curled her lips and said, "Everyone has a desire for beauty."
Lin Sui walked back to his workstation like a puppet, his eyes fixed on the thin sheets of information that outlined Qin Chen's entrepreneurial journey.
After five years, she watched his growth as an outsider for the first time. Fate was really funny.
She asked herself, was this God's will?
Is it because God is reluctant to part with their relationship, so he arranged this time?
She suddenly felt full of energy as if she had been injected with chicken blood. After making an interview outline as quickly as possible, she called the number on the information.
