I need to give an account of my childhood, but even more so, I need to give an account of who I am now and who I will be in the future. I don't want to entrust my life to unworthy people.
The promise she made as a child was just an opportunity for her to see if the person who made that promise to her as a child was truly someone she could entrust her life to.
After all, she never considered getting a divorce, so she still hoped that she and her husband could be mutually in love. Therefore, the engagement was just an opportunity for the two of them to spend time together.
However, Xi Jiangfeng seemed to be very different from what he had imagined. He was no longer the person who had made a promise to him when he was a child, nor was he the brave and kind older brother he remembered.
The day Wan Ge learned that Xi Jiangfeng and Shu Man were together, she had someone investigate why they were together.
Finding the answer isn't difficult. Shu Man often boasts to her friends that they met when they were children and made a promise to get married.
However, after some investigation, Wan Ge discovered that Shu Man had never been to Z City when she was a child, and Xi Jiangfeng had never been to the city where Shu Man lived, so it was impossible for them to have known each other when they were young.
Later, she probed Xi Jiangfeng's intentions and found out why he liked Shu Man, thus discovering the answer.
She was told that someone had impersonated her, but she wasn't in a hurry to clarify because she wanted to test whether Xi Jiangfeng was still the person she had promised to marry when they were young.
However, the other party's ignorance and stupidity shattered her illusions about him.
After all, a little investigation revealed that they had no prior connection, and that he himself had been a pampered young lady since childhood, while Shu Man's family was extremely ordinary, so he had hardly ever left the city where she lived before going to university.
Especially the girl who played with him in the wealthy neighborhood when he was a child.
He only saw a token and mistakenly thought that Shuman was himself. Was it because of the token, or did he really have feelings for Shuman and subconsciously favor her as himself?
Wan Ge actually knew the current ending back then, but she needed to shatter her childhood fantasies herself so that she wouldn't dwell on them and it would be fair to her future husband.
So now the filter we have for Xi Jiangfeng from his childhood has been completely shattered, and it won't be long before they break off their engagement.
…
Rong Shu immediately understood what she meant: "Sister did the right thing. The promises made when we were young are certainly beautiful, but one cannot be responsible only for one's childhood self."
"When does your sister plan to tell him the truth?" Rong Shu felt that the other party didn't seem to intend to keep it from Xi Jiangfeng indefinitely, so she asked this question.
Wan Ge felt that the other person really understood her: "After I plan to call off the engagement..."
"Does your sister want him to regret it?"
Wan Ge shook her head again: "No, he's not worth me taking revenge on."
Although he sometimes says things that make me uncomfortable, I don't need to deliberately retaliate against him. It's just that... "If I tell him the truth too early, I'm afraid he won't want to break off the engagement."
Since Wan Ge wasn't sure whether the other party was after the token or actually liked Shu Man, she decided to break off the engagement first and then tell him the truth, which would save her a lot of trouble.
"I see, sister has even thought this through."
Wan Ge took his hand again: "Let's go back quickly. The wind is getting stronger and stronger. I'm afraid I'll catch a cold if we stay any longer."
"Okay." Rong Shu nodded and then followed him home.
But at this moment, Xi Jiangfeng pulled Shu Man along and quickly walked up to Wange: "Ye Wange, what exactly did you say to Manman? Why has she been in a bad mood all this time?"
Wan Ge stopped walking without glancing at Xi Jiangfeng, instead focusing her gaze on Shu Man. Her tone was indifferent, and she seemed completely unconcerned: "Did I say anything to upset you, Miss Shu Man?"
When Shu Man heard Wan Ge say that, her face turned pale again.
Xi Jiangfeng frowned even more deeply when he saw Shu Man's expression: "Manman, don't be afraid. Have you been threatened by her?"
Shu Man looked up at Wan Ge and saw the coldness in her eyes and the knowing look in her eyes, and immediately felt guilty.
She quickly said to Xi Jiangfeng, "No, Miss Ye didn't threaten me. I just heard something unpleasant, but it has nothing to do with Miss Ye. You've really misunderstood, Afeng."
