Detailed description of the whole story, clear and complicated, and detailed description of the clues to reveal the hidden truth
Mei Rugu reminisced as she spoke slowly, "Gu Quyu is my uncle's daughter. My uncle died early due to illness, and my aunt took her to remarry and move to another city. We lost contact when she was very young. She was a strong-willed person, and she didn't look for us when she returned to Xialin to attend university, and we didn't know about it. After graduating from university, she applied for a job at Jianru Group, but I had already left the group by then. One time, I went to the office to look for Lao Qian. It was the first time he hadn't been home for several days because of work. Lao Qian was not in the office at the time, and the girl was standing there timidly. She said she had just been transferred to the position of assistant to the chairman. I hadn't seen her for many years, but she looked familiar, so I asked her name, and we recognized each other right away."
"This is just a coincidence, not something you deliberately arranged. Why didn't you tell Mr. Qian?"
Mei Rugu blushed and said embarrassedly, "I didn't wait for Lao Qian in the office that day. Later that night when he came home, I wanted to tell him, but we ended up having a big fight and it delayed us. The next day, we had dinner together as agreed with my cousin the day before. I was a little suspicious about Lao Qian's schedule, so I asked my cousin about it while we were having dinner. That night, I not only found out the situation, but I also felt that having my cousin around would save me a lot of trouble, and it would be much more convenient than asking outsiders. So I decided to go with the flow and asked my cousin not to tell Lao Qian about her relationship with me for the time being."
"This is indeed a bit troublesome. Anyone would be angry, not to mention that distrust is a very big reason why you and Mr. Qian have come to this point." Li Jingzi analyzed with a frown.
"Actually, she's not as... shameless as you think." Mei Rugu chose her words carefully. "I told my cousin that she's her and I'm me. She shouldn't consider me as her cousin at all. She should just work as usual. At most, she can tell me if there's anything special or important. Otherwise, she doesn't have to tell me unless I ask. After all, if I want to find out, I can find out without her asking others."
"Did she tell you anything?"
"It was rare in the early days, but it became more frequent after Xue Jiuyue showed up. Including the agreement signed between Lao Qian and Xue Jiuyue. Maybe she also felt that it would be troublesome for Lao Qian to be trapped by Xue Jiuyue. Because it was Lao Qian who asked his cousin to come up with the idea of sending flowers every day."
"If that's the case, why did you initially misunderstand Xiaoyue about the bag? After all, that bag was a gift from Mr. Qian to your cousin."
"That time, I was blamed. I called my cousin to verify whether the overseas vacation was true. There was no mention of the bag. Later, there was a misunderstanding with Xue Jiuyue. I felt that Lao Qian's attitude was wrong, so I called my cousin again. She said that the bag was a gift for her. She knew that Lao Qian had bought it for me, so she was still hesitating whether to return it to Lao Qian after he calmed down. I also comforted her, saying that what Lao Qian gave her was hers and she didn't need to return it! Only then did I realize that I had made a mistake. At that time, my cousin also told me about Lao Qian's dinner with Xue Jiuyue."
"You mean to say that Mr. Qian knows all this now?"
"Yes, I heard from my cousin that Lao Qian got some information from Xue Jiuyue and became suspicious. He went back and investigated thoroughly to find out the truth!"
"Does Xiaoyue know about you and your cousin?"
Mei Rugu shook her head. "We're the only ones who know about Xialin. I just mentioned you today."
"So, Xiaoyue didn't expose this matter. It must be some coincidence that touched Mr. Qian. The most urgent thing now is how to clear up Mr. Qian's misunderstanding."
"That's why I came to you. My cousin can't clarify it herself, and it will backfire. Lao Qian will think that my cousin is protecting me. And I will have nothing to do with him now."
Li Jingzi slowly expressed her opinion, "I think this is a good opportunity for you to restore your contact with Mr. Qian!"
"No! He won't believe it even if I explain it to him!"
"Although it feels a bit difficult to defend myself, I have always believed that what is true is true. Whether the other party believes it or not has nothing to do with me. The truth is out there, and Mr. Qian will definitely understand it over time. This is also a great opportunity to get in touch with Mr. Qian."
"No, contacting him now would only bring shame upon yourself."
Li Jingzi smiled and didn't insist, "Then Sister Mei, you need to find someone to help you, the effect may be better!"
"Are you talking about Xue Jiuyue?"
"Yes! But Sister Mei, you seem quite resentful towards her recently. You used to call her Xiaoyue. Think about it, after all, she is not your enemy. In fact, in a way, she is still helping you. Have a good talk with her. She and Mr. Qian said that it should be more effective."
"I know. When I think about it carefully, I shouldn't hate her. And like you said, I am even grateful to her! But this time, according to my cousin, I always feel that it is related to her. I'm just afraid that she is not worthy of trust." Qian Jianjun's mind is entirely on Xue Jiuyue, so it is inevitable that Mei Rugu will be affected by her.
"Believe me, Xiaoyue is worthy of trust! Besides, if you don't trust her now, do you have any choice?"
The soberness of both reason and reality made people feel aggrieved. Mei Rugu bit her lip lightly, "Lan, what kind of thing is this? It's a matter between a husband and wife, and they still need to find an outsider to help. This outsider may even be an enemy!"
"Sister Mei, please don't be upset. This situation has accumulated over time. We need to be patient. I firmly believe that if we can turn things around this time, you two will become the happiest and most caring couple in the future."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, because you were the one who started the quarrel from the beginning to the end. Mr. Qian actually hopes to live a good life! And as I analyzed before, he wants to pamper you in his own way!" It has been more than a month since Mei Rugu's divorce, and Li Jingzi can only now point out Mei Rugu's faults again.
"I don't want to argue, but the facts are there. Regardless of who is right or wrong, it's too late to say anything now. We're already getting a divorce."
"Sister Mei, although you and Mr. Qian are divorced now, haven't you noticed that it was you who was always the one asking for a divorce, and Mr. Qian never mentioned it."
Mei Rugu explained embarrassedly, "When we got married, Lao Qian swore that he would never initiate a divorce with me in this lifetime."
"Sister Mei, vows and principles are only binding on the basis of feelings! You can trust Mr. Qian's vows from his youth, so why can't you trust his feelings for you? If Mr. Qian truly had no feelings for you, he would have been the one to file for divorce. Although you had a one-month cooling-off period, you never really cooled down. Especially Mr. Qian. He chose to escape from the very beginning, transferring all his feelings and thoughts to Xiaoyue, without truly facing or reflecting on your relationship! He does have feelings for you, and they are deep, but his love and hatred are so deep that he's now hiding them all. So I have confidence that if we wait a little longer, until you both change and can calmly face each other and the past, happiness and family will return! The initiative is still in your hands, don't worry!" Li Jingzi continued to comfort Mei Rugu and picked up the previous conversation, "If you haven't eaten, why don't we go to Xiaoyue's cafe for lunch? We agreed to go Dutch."
"It's so sudden, how about I prepare something?" Mei Rugu was unwilling to ask for help easily, and again and again, not to mention that this person was Xue Jiuyue.
"It's okay, let's just go have a meal. What do we need to prepare? I also have a misunderstanding that I want to clarify with her." Li Jingzi said lightly.
"oh?"
Li Jingzi didn't answer Mei Rugu's question, but asked, "Do you think my eyebrows are well-drawn?"
"Not bad, it looks good, very unique and beautiful. I didn't expect you to draw so well."
"It wasn't drawn by me. It was drawn by Doctor Liu from our clinic. The doctor I told you about, the one who treated Xiaoyue. No, that wasn't drawn by him either. I saw him drawing eyebrows on a piece of drawing paper before and thought it was interesting and beautiful. I wanted him to draw it for me, but he said he couldn't see and it was inconvenient. So I took his drawing paper and learned it myself."
"Then what does this have to do with Xue Jiuyue?"
"This Monday, I went to notify Dr. Liu of a meeting and ran into Xiaoyue there. I noticed her eyebrows and said, 'Those eyebrows are so beautiful, were they drawn by Dr. Liu?' Then Xiaoyue said, 'Mr. Qian asked me to go shopping, so I'll leave now. You two can chat slowly.' And then she left. I felt something was wrong. Shouldn't Mr. Qian be very busy during work hours?"
"Yes, Lao Qian is on a business trip this Monday and is not in Xia Lin." Mei Rugu's addition confirmed Li Jingzi's guess.
"News about my cousin again, right?"
"Hey, ever since Lao Qian and I got divorced, my cousin has been telling me about Lao Qian's situation almost every day for fear that I would worry, and she hasn't stopped even after the divorce. Don't interrupt me, just continue." Mei Rugu vaguely sensed something from Li Jingzi's words, and now she was very interested.
"Later, I realized that Xiaoyue was probably saying that out of anger, deliberately saying it to Dr. Liu. And it turned out that I was the one who started it. It might be that what I said caused Xiaoyue to misunderstand."
"You mean that Xiaoyue's eyebrows were drawn by Doctor Liu? And Xiaoyue misunderstood you and then brought up Lao Qian to deliberately anger Doctor Liu. Does that mean that Xiaoyue likes Doctor Liu?" Mei Rugu figured out the guess in her mind and asked for confirmation with full of expectation, even changing the way she addressed him unconsciously.
"You know, Doctor Liu can't see, and there are some other reasons, so I'm not sure if Xiaoyue's eyebrows were drawn by Doctor Liu himself. If they were really drawn by Doctor Liu himself, I can be sure that Xiaoyue likes Doctor Liu. At present, based on the analysis of that sentence alone, I can only say that it is a high probability." Li Jingzi analyzed cautiously.
Mei Rugu blurted out, "Isn't Xiaoyue forbidden to have physical contact with others?"
"You know this too? Or it came from your cousin? That's why I said that if it was drawn by Dr. Liu himself, Xiaoyue must like Dr. Liu!"
"So, what's Dr. Liu's reaction been these past few days?" Mei Rugu, who had been concentrating, suddenly remembered what had happened in the yard. "Wait a moment..."
Mei Rugu pulled out the half-broken eyebrow pencil she had just found from her bag and asked, "Have you seen Dr. Liu's eyebrow pencil? Is this the one?"
"Yes, this is the eyebrow pencil that Doctor Liu usually uses." Li Jingzi took it, confirmed it, and returned it to Mei Rugu. "How did you get this eyebrow pencil?"
Mei Rugu described to Li Jingzi the desolate figure she had seen before.
"Dr. Liu's face was gloomy that day, and he's been distracted for the past few days. I previously suspected that it was my careless mistake that caused the misunderstanding between the two of them. Now that you've mentioned it, it's even more certain. So I should go and explain to Xiaoyue in person."
Li Jingzi had gone to Liu Che several times over the past few days, hoping to trace him or perhaps even directly question him. However, she discovered that Liu Che hadn't even made tea, and his conversations with her were often incoherent. This fit perfectly with Mei Rugu's description of throwing away the eyebrow pencil and then turning away with a bitter heart.
"So, they are in love with each other?!" Mei Rugu answered excitedly, but she suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Jingzi with her eyes downcast and a depressed mood.
Mei Rugu suppressed her joy and said to Li Jingzi seriously, "Lan, tell me the truth, are you interested in Doctor Liu?"
"Sister Mei, to be honest, I like Doctor Liu." Li Jingzi answered frankly without the shyness of a little girl.
"Then you still..." Mei Rugu paused and said frankly, "I admit that although you have been persuading me, I still hope from the bottom of my heart that Xiaoyue can be with Dr. Liu. That way, Lao Qian will completely give up and I will have an extra layer of protection. But since you like Dr. Liu, why don't we just not explain and let fate take its course."
Li Jingzi felt embarrassed now. "Thank you so much, Sister Mei, for thinking of me even in this situation."
"Don't worry, I'm not someone who values love over friendship!"
"But, Sister Mei, there's really no need. I must explain everything clearly. I like Doctor Liu, but I didn't say that Doctor Liu likes me too. Even if Xiaoyue wasn't there, Doctor Liu wouldn't necessarily like me. Why shouldn't I do my best to make things right?"
"You are so beautiful, so smart, and so considerate. If it weren't for Xiaoyue, how could Dr. Liu not like you?"
"Sister Mei, love is not a transaction. Xiaoyue is very beautiful, but she is also very kind and outstanding. Especially since Doctor Liu cannot see, so in terms of appearance, everyone is actually on the same starting line. What matters more is whether the personality is compatible."
"You have a point. If that's the case, you'll be able to spend more time with Dr. Liu, and your chances of success will be much greater. But are you really not going to take the initiative to fight for it? And if that feeling is still there, even if Dr. Liu ends up with you, can you accept that he has someone else in his heart?"
