Chapter 86 Friends are meant to be betrayed
Xia Xian was trying to help her friend. Zhou Xingshi and Shen You had such a good relationship, and if possible, Xia Xian didn't want them to part ways with regret. She had chosen her words carefully and was ready to help Zhou Xingshi find out.
But long before she was ready, Quan Ruifeng had already gone to find Shen You.
"What day is it today? Why do you come to see me alone?"
Chen You was a little surprised and puzzled. Why didn't he pester Xia Xian now and came to find himself? Could it be because of something about Xia Xian?
Shen You was a smart man and guessed Quan Ruifeng's purpose right away.
"For Xia Xian."
"Also for Zhou Xingshi."
Quan Ruifeng said lightly. Shen You had not guessed the second half. She touched her ears and listened attentively. How could there be something about Zhou Xingshi?
"Uncle Zhou and the others are urging you to get married, which is putting pressure on Zhou Xingshi. Do you know this?"
"Know."
It's been such a long time since they got engaged and they haven't gotten married yet, it would be strange if the Zhou family didn't urge them, but Zhou Xingshi had always held out before. Now Quan Ruifeng asked this, does that mean Zhou Xingshi can't hold out anymore?
Quan Ruifeng nodded. He never needed to waste time talking to Shen You.
"Uncle Zhou gave you two choices, one is to let you get married within six months, and the other is to break off the engagement within six months. Zhou Xingshi didn't know what to do, so he came to me and Xia Xian for help."
"I understand."
It was Zhou Xingshi who found these two people to act as lobbyists and persuade her to get married.
"You guessed wrong. Zhou Xingshi asked Xia Xian for help not to persuade you to get married, but to find out why you don't want to get married. Why have you never asked him about this question?"
"It just so happens that I also want to know why Xia Xian doesn't want to get married. When she asks you, you can also ask her for me."
Quan Ruifeng calmly put forward the request. This guy was really a bitch. Her problem hadn't been solved yet, but he was so confident that he asked her to help him get Xia Xian to talk!
Chen You crossed her arms and was about to refuse. She was not the kind of person who would trap her friends. She would definitely stand on Xia Xian's side. Let Quan Ruifeng go by himself!
How can you marry someone without putting in some effort? How can you rely on shortcuts?
"As a reward, I'll help you deal with Uncle Zhou."
Quan Ruifeng didn't wait for her to refuse and directly put forward an irresistible condition.
"hiss."
Shen You was surprised, Shen You was silent, Shen You sighed, and Shen You agreed!
She really couldn't refuse this condition!
"Okay, I promise. I'll ask for you."
"But I can't guarantee whether she is willing to tell me or not."
And she wanted to say less to Quan Ruifeng, which also depended on her mood.
Chen You still has some conscience, even if he has to betray his friends, he won't betray them completely.
Quan Ruifeng knew her little thoughts, but he didn't expose them. After all, friends are meant to be tricked. He promised Chen You that he would help her deal with Zhou Xingshi's parents, but he didn't say how to do it.
The two of them agreed to each other's conditions with their own thoughts.
When Xia Xian found an excuse to ask Chen You to review with her and teach her a few questions, Chen You already knew what was going on and came over very cooperatively.
"Which question do you not understand? Let me see."
"Why don't you ask Quan Ruifeng if he's catching a murderer again?"
Shen You jokingly asked where so many murderers could be caught.
"He has to go to work. I thought it would be better for us to discuss study problems together since we are taking the college entrance examination. If you have any questions you don't understand, you can ask me. Maybe I can answer them."
"By the way, how far have you reviewed?"
Xia Xian didn't really have any questions to ask her, so she just took the opportunity to start a new topic.
Because of her obsession from her previous life, she has been reviewing her lessons, so now when she gets the materials and questions, she basically knows how to answer them. If there is anything she doesn't know, she will remember it after studying it once, so her progress is very fast.
"It's just the beginning, there are still many things to be done, I don't have the energy to study."
Shen You shook his head, he sighed, and took the initiative to tell Xia Xian about his troubles.
"Zhou Xingshi and I have been engaged for so many years, as you know. Now his family is getting more and more demanding, and Zhou Xingshi and I are a little overwhelmed."
She never expected that she would bring up this matter on her own initiative, which made it convenient for Xia Xian to ask questions, and she didn't have to rack her brains to think of how to bring up this topic naturally so as not to arouse Shen You's suspicion.
Xia Xian's eyes lit up, but she immediately suppressed her excitement and asked in pretended confusion.
"I don't know if it's convenient to ask you this question. Actually, I also want to know why you haven't gotten married after being engaged for so many years. In our place, people will choose to get married after being engaged for two or three years at most. Besides, you are not young anymore, so it is normal for you to start a family and a career."
"Of course, this is a personal choice. I definitely respect your opinions. I'm just a little curious and just asking casually."
"There's nothing inconvenient to ask. We're all friends, so just tell us what you want to say. There's no need for me to hide anything from you."
"I don't want to get married because I don't believe in the reliability of marriage. Zhou Xingshi is a silly guy, but I like him. He is simple-minded and only has me in his heart. That's why I don't want to get married. If he changes his mind after we get married, I can't accept it."
Shen You had no intention of hiding this matter, so he just told it directly.
It's not that she is completely against marriage and doesn't want to get married at all. If she has to get married for profit or other reasons, she will still get married, because they are not truly in love. Even if they get divorced at that time, she is not afraid at all.
If you don't give your heart, you won't be afraid of losing your heart.
Chen You's meaning was already very clear. Xia Xian didn't expect there was this reason behind it. She was stunned.
"But you guys have been together forever, what's the difference between that and getting married?"
"It's better to give him a name and make him more devoted to you. Otherwise, he will have wild thoughts and think that you don't like him. Emotions can't withstand the consumption. In the long run, I'm afraid his feelings for you will become weaker and weaker, which is the opposite of your purpose of not getting married."
Xia Xian still remembered her purpose today and started to give the first sentence of advice.
"If we're not married, it will be easier to separate, and it won't be so embarrassing."
Shen You shook his head and sighed slightly.
After all, she cared too much about Zhou Xingshi. If she handed her marriage over to him, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself. If Zhou Xingshi changed his mind in the future, she didn't know what she would do.
It would be easier to deal with if they didn't get married. There would be no children and no property issues. As for feelings, if he changed, she could change at any time. She could tell herself that she didn't love him at all, so she didn't marry him. Then it wouldn't matter to her if he changed his mind.
In fact, when it comes down to it, Chen You is afraid of these things because he loves too much. No matter how smart a person is, he will still be a mess when faced with emotional problems.
Xia Xian was shocked by Shen You’s thoughts, but unexpectedly, the next second, the problem fell on her.
"Don't you think what I said is right, Xia Xian?"
"Have you ever thought about getting married?"
