The older sister Xiang Jie mentioned is Tang Jia. Because their parents divorced, one of them took their father's surname and the other took their mother's surname.
Tang Jia took her father's surname.
Their parents were also quite remarkable. Their marriage was a forced union between families, though they did have genuine feelings for each other for a time.
But this relationship was short-lived. Tang Jia's father was a womanizer, and Xiang Jie's mother was also a womanizer. When the two were no longer influenced by their elders, they got together and divorced.
However, they still had business dealings with each other, and since the divorce was amicable, the siblings, one living with their father and the other with their mother, had a very good relationship and saw each other almost every few days.
Xiang Jie himself said that his parents' relationship has improved since their divorce; they've gone from being husband and wife to being close friends, which is truly rare.
Such behavior might be incomprehensible to others, but Tang Jia and Xiang Jie, the siblings, have become accustomed to it.
Tang Jia, in particular, had spent some time abroad and was more open-minded.
Surprisingly, Tang Jia, who is open-minded, is now 25 years old but has never been in a relationship.
In her own words, she is waiting for someone who can accompany her for the rest of her life.
And this person is Song Qi'an. From the moment she met Song Qi'an, she felt that such a handsome and stylish man was her destiny.
But Song Qi'an was like a block of wood, oblivious to her sincerity.
After making countless calls to Song Qi'an without getting an answer, Tang Jia couldn't help but slam her fist on the table.
Undeterred, she tried sending text messages, but they went unanswered.
Tang Jia immediately called Xiang Jie and said, "I can't get in touch with Song Qi'an."
Xiang Jie said with a bitter expression, "Sis, he blocked me."
Well, now that both siblings are on Song Qi'an's blacklist, they've got company.
Tang Jia hung up the phone with a dark expression, then turned and shouted towards the bar, "Waiter, bring me another bottle of wine."
She actually wanted to ask Song Qi'an out for drinks today, hoping to get him a little tipsy so she could confess her feelings to him.
Despite Tang Jia's impulsive and energetic nature, she is also a very proud person, because she knows in her heart that if she confesses her feelings, she might be rejected by Song Qi'an.
That's why she wanted to take advantage of her drunkenness to say that if she slept it off, she would forget about it tomorrow.
But now that she can't get in touch with anyone, Tang Jia can only drink alone in frustration.
"Beautiful lady, are you drinking alone?" At that moment, a slick-haired man walked over with a wine glass.
"Stay away from me." Tang Jia glanced at the man. "I can get really violent when I'm drunk."
The man, undeterred, tried to continue flirting, but Tang Jia shouted, "Waiter, someone is harassing your customers. Are you going to do anything about it?"
There weren't many people in the tavern, but when they heard her shout, quite a few people looked over. The tavern's waiter also hurriedly came over and politely asked the man to leave.
Hearing that, the man, even if he wanted to strike up a conversation, was too embarrassed and could only walk away with his wine glass.
With no flies buzzing around, Tang Jia finally had some peace and quiet. The consequence of this peace and quiet was that she drank without restraint, and by the time she felt her cheeks burning, there were already quite a few bottles of wine on the table.
"Burp." Tang Jia let out a burp, shook her head, paid the bill, and walked outside.
As soon as she stepped out, a gust of cold wind blew over, bringing Tang Jia, who was initially dizzy, back to her senses for a few seconds. Then she became confused again, because she was walking unsteadily.
"Hotel, back to the hotel." Tang Jia muttered, arms crossed. Her hotel was nearby, about a ten-minute walk away.
But the worst part wasn't that she was drunk and went the wrong way; the worst part was that the man who had struck up a conversation with her in the bar followed her out.
It wasn't too late yet, and there were still a few people walking around on the street.
Tang Jia was about to stumble when the slick-haired man hurriedly stepped forward.
