Every time Madam Ji saw Chuxia's face, she would be furious.
The Ji family had been played by a shameless woman!
Chuxia was not discouraged. With a strong heart, she said, "I don't care if all of you don't accept me and hate me. Liunian loves me and will only love me in his entire life!"
"What happened?" A man walked out from the crowd of chaos.
The man was in his fifties. He was holding a walking stick and looked slightly haggard.
After seeing him, everyone fell into silence. No one interrupted.
Madam Xu reported, "Chuxia is here. She pushed Zhiyin into the water earlier. Look what your daughter has done?"
The man who came was Chuxia's father, Xu Zhiyin's eldest uncle.
Xu Pingshu looked at his daughter. When Chuxia saw her father, she was not so aggressive. She kept the arrogance which she had just now and called, "Father."
"You did all this?" Xu Pingshu glared at Chuxia.
Chuxia explained, "I was just angry…"
Slap!
Before she could finish talking, Xu Pingshu slapped Chuxia on the cheek.
Chuyang stopped his father immediately. "Father, don't hit my sister."
Xu Pingshu roared angrily, "Why are you here? Are you here to embarrass yourself? When I asked you to marry Ji Liunian in the past, you were reluctant. Now that he's married, you come and pester him? How could I have a daughter like you? Are you happy when you embarrass me?"
Xu Pingshu had his own company in the past and his family and the Ji family were friends for generations. Their relationship had always been good. Initially, he thought his daughter would marry Ji Liunian and the two families could be united through marriage. It could also help the Xu family's development but he had not expected his daughter to elope with a wild man and put the Ji family in a difficult position.
After Chuxia left, he had taken ill. The Xu family's condition had also worsened these three years.
Luckily, his relationship with Xu Zhiyin's parents was still good and they had been caring for one another but out of his expectation, Chuxia came back and caused Ji Liunian to divorce with Xu Zhiyin.
Chuxia touched her cheek and looked at her father. "I've lost everything. I just want Ji Liunian. Am I wrong? You've disowned me. Does it mean I can't own someone I love?"
"You deserve all this! What right do you have to be with Ji Liunian?"
Even if he agreed, the Ji family would not agree.
He really didn't want to trouble the Ji family!
To have such a daughter was a misfortune in his life.
"Huh…" Chuxia laughed and controlled her tears.
She was really sad.
She used to be her father's pride but now, she had become her father's humiliation. Everyone in her family except Chuyang treated her as an embarrassment!
She had once owned everything but after three years, she had nothing left!
It was at such time that she couldn't let go of Ji Liunian.
Because he was the only person she could hold on to.
As her father was present, Chuxia did not stay. She walked out of the house.
She found a place with no one and wiped away her tears. Very quickly, she recollected her emotions. She then took out her mobile phone and made a call…
***
Xu Zhiyin had just changed into a new set of clothes but her hair was still wet. Ji Liunian took out a towel to dry her hair. He was very gentle. This made Xu Zhiyin's heart pound wildly.
"Liunian." When she felt his gentleness, she couldn't help but call him.
Ji Liunian was thinking of the problem but when he heard her voice, he stopped and looked at her from above. "Yes?"
"You are nice to me and I feel like I'm dreaming." After their divorce, she had dreamt of such warm scene more than once and always wished to return to the time Chuxia was abroad.
That time, Ji Liunian was like the warmest sun, caring and taking care of her…
Ji Liunian smiled and thought she was easily satisfied, "Wasn't I nice to you in the past?"
"You were nice to me in the past." Because of this, she had loved him! Although she knew the relationship between them was not a couple's love, she would still stupidly indulge in this man's gentleness.
At the thought of this, Xu Zhiyin almost cried. She raised her head and was afraid that her tears would fall. It would be embarrassing then.
She looked at Ji Liunian and said, "I thought you'd never be nice to me again."
Ji Liunian smiled and continued drying her hair. When he saw Xu Zhiyin not as angry as before, he was surprised. "You don't hate me anymore just because I'm nice to you now?"
Xu Zhiyin stared at her own fingers. The tip of her finger was touching her newly changed dress. "I always thought you made Chuxia pregnant. I was sad and disappointed in you…"
That was why she said some extreme words to him.
She even thought of giving up on their relationship completely.
Ji Liunian froze and explained, "Chuxia's baby isn't mine. When she returned, she was pregnant. When I saw her, she was pitiful and I couldn't leave her alone!"
Moreover, he had always thought Chuxia was his true love whom he would never forget. He had gotten used to loving her and thought he still loved her. That was why he neglected his relationship with Xu Zhiyin which he didn't realize was slowly evolving.
Until now, Ji Liunian had not forgotten Chuxia but what he couldn't accept more was Xu Zhiyin by Gu Nantian's side.
Xu Zhiyin nodded, "I know, you've always been nice to her. Even if you like her, I never said anything."
She loved this man and was willing to embrace his love for his first love.
She understood that love was not something that could easily be put down.
"Thank you for understanding." When he heard her say all this, Ji Liunian smiled. "You're good and I only realize it now."
Xu Zhiyin stared at him. He said she was good, was he praising her?
She had gotten other people's praise too but his praise brought her to cloud nine.
She was like a child while Ji Liunian was like a candy she wanted most which nothing could replace.
Staring at Ji Liunian for a while, Xu Zhiyin realized her reaction was dumb and so lowered her head guiltily.
Ji Liunian looked at her bashfulness which she couldn't hide. He lowered his head and place a light, gentle kiss on her head. "Zhiyin."
Xu Zhiyin could not see Ji Liunian's face but could feel she was brought to his embrace. This gave her a feeling of security and ease.
She clenched her fist nervously but did not reply. She was afraid when she opened her eyes, she would wake up from this dream.
