CH 66.1

Chapter 66 — Soulmate

In the original novel, Wen Sisi married that old man, but that man’s domestic violence made Wen Sisi’s life worse than death.

It could be said that marrying for the sake of the Wen family was the beginning of her tragedy.

Chi Zhengzheng sighed again, reached out, and poured a glass of wine. She just took a sip and put it down, her voice was soft-

“Sisi, it’s useless. Do you think that someone will really help the Wen family when they are like this? Can he really be pulled them back up? Marrying you off to that person in exchange for hope for the Wen family is just so that Wen Jingsen keeps indulging in fantasy.”

How could Wen Yu possibly let them get up again?

How could anyone be so kind as to help the Wen family without asking for anything in return?

Anyway, in the original novel, after Wen Sisi was married, nothing worked whatsoever, the Wen family was still miserable, and she lost her life.

Wen Sisi, who had nothing, couldn’t fight back against that powerful old man at all, even if she wanted to leave, she couldn’t.

Wen Sisi paused slightly, staring in a daze at the wine glass on the table.

At this moment, several men and women who had been paying attention to the two of them not far away came over.

“Chi Zhengzheng?” Someone’s voice was cautious.

Chi Zhengzheng raised her head and looked over.

That person immediately came over and smiled: “Oh, it turned out to be sister Zhengzheng, I’m Li Ranran, do you remember? We’ve met several times before, and we met last time at Zheng Ye’s welcome reception!”

Chi Zhengzheng was taken aback for a long time before pulling the corner of her mouth: “Oh, I remember.”

Remember, my ass.

It was a familiar face, but she didn’t remember who that person was.

She must have met at several banquets before, but she definitely didn’t know her well. At least at that time, this person looked down on her, so he had never interacted with her.

Seeing Li Ranran speak up, several others also came forward, holding glasses of wine –

“Miss Chi, I’m Weng Gaoming, we’ve met before. Are you also here to drink ah? Do you want to play together?”

“Yes, it’ll be my treat tonight, so Zhengzheng, come with me ah.”

“Miss Chi, I’m Qi Ji. You should still know me, right?”

…

Chi Zhengzheng’s smile remained unchanged, her eyebrows curled, but her tone was distant: “Thank you all for your hospitality, but Sisi and I have something to talk about, so I won’t join you.”

Several people glanced at Wen Sisi, contempt flashed in their eyes, and just walked away.

“Okay, then let’s get together again next time.”

“Sister Zhengzheng, we don’t have each other’s contact information yet. This is my phone number.”

“Zhengzheng, this is my phone number. Let’s keep in touch in the future.”

“You guys can drink as much as you want, I said that it would be my treat, so put it on my account later!”

….

Chi Zhengzheng kept a polite but distant smile, and if you looked closely, you could find the impatience on her face, so several people smiled and dispersed, they were very tactful.

When the people left, Wen Sisi suddenly sneered: “Li Ranran, to please me in the past, he drank dry four bottles and also helped me carry my bag. Qi Ji, you must have seen him, he was at my birthday party when she was still together with An Qinru, she said lots of things about you. That day they were laughing and complimenting me, and today, they are complimenting you exactly the same way.”

Times had changed. What an arrogant person she was at that time, these people used to flatter her and curry favor with her.

It didn’t take long for these people to look down on her and mock her with cold expressions.

Chi Zhengzheng nodded: “I know they are all people who go whichever way the wind blows, so I am now sitting opposite you, not among them.” (t/n: opportunist.)

At this moment, if she went to play with those people, those people would certainly treat her like they used to do to Wen Sisi, they would cup all the stars around her. (t/n: all the stars cup themselves around the moon is an idiom that refers to a group revolving around a preferred or loved leader.)

Wen Sisi was taken aback and looked at Chi Zhengzheng with watery eyes.

The other party was also looking at her, and those big eyes were full of pure-heartedness and clarity.

“No wonder Wen Yu likes you…” Wen Sisi murmured.

“What did you say?” Chi Zhengzheng didn’t hear it clearly.

Wen Sisi: “It’s nothing, I’m just lamenting.”

“Don’t lament, they used to flatter you because of the Wen family, now they flatter me because of Wen Yu, not because of ourselves, there’s nothing to lament.” Chi Zhengzheng took another sip of wine and said comfortably.

“But there are also advantages, at least they have to buy us drinks, right? I can’t afford to treat people now, before you blackmailed me, now I can only blackmail you. They invite you, you must be very tightfisted, and save some money.” Wen Sisi couldn’t help but hook the corners of her mouth, this was the first smile she showed tonight.

Chi Zhengzheng shook her head abruptly with a hesitant expression: “I don’t want them to invite me. I don’t want their elders to run to Wen Yu saying that we have a good relationship, just because they’ve bought a couple drinks… tsk.”

“Chi Zhengzheng, do you want to pay for it yourself? I don’t have any money.” Wen Sisi glared at her.

Chi Zhengzheng grinned: “Wen Yu knew that we were coming to this nightclub. He had greeted them in advance, it should be recorded in Wen Yu’s account.”

Of course, the purpose of his greeting in advance was to pay attention to her safety. After all, she had come twice before and both times problems occurred.

Wen Sisi: “???”

“He may not even let me come if he didn’t report in advance.”

Wen Sisi: “???”

“Tsk tsk, although I think he’s a bit strict, his thoughtfulness still makes me happy.”

Wen Sisi took a deep breath: “That’s enough! Didn’t you see my situation now, and you’re still showing your love in front of me? Your blooming and loving affection for Wen Yu. Aren’t you afraid that I will be jealous and beat you up?”

Chi Zhengzheng grinned: “You can’t beat me.”

Wen Sisi: “…” Sometimes, this friend of hers didn’t deserve only one beating.

She glared hard at Chi Zhengzheng and said: “I’m dying of misery, and you can still laugh…”

“Haven’t you already made a decision?” Chi Zhengzheng suddenly said, looking serious.

Wen Sisi was taken aback. For a moment, she pulled the corners of her mouth, and drank another glass of wine, with a hoarse voice: “Yes, I have actually made a decision, but I still feel guilty…”

Perhaps at first she was really torn, but there was already a voice deep inside her heart, and Chi Zhengzheng’s words talking about how “the Wen family couldn’t be saved” helped her make a decision.

– There was no way she would get married.

“In the past, you told me that you thought that the Wen family wasn’t that good to you. In fact, they were good to you for a reason, I told you at that time, you don’t need to sacrifice your future for the Wen family. Wen Sisi, you’re still young, you deserve another world, a world that has nothing to do with the Wen family, nothing to do with Wen Yiran, and nothing to do with Wen Yu.” Chi Zhengzheng’s eyes looked at her, full of seriousness.

Wen Sisi looked back at her, frozen in place.

After a while, she blushed and nodded: “Mm…”

Another life, another world, that had nothing to do with the Wen family, that had nothing to do with anything, just hers, Wen Sisi’s world…

“Chi Zhengzheng, thank you.” Wen Sisi said seriously.

Thank you, for still being willing to treat me as a friend.

Thank you, for still willing to take me into consideration.

Wen Yiran had recently seen the fickleness of human nature, and Wen Sisi was the same. Wen Jingsen asked her to marry for the sake of the Wen family, seeking an impossible hope, but Chi Zhengzheng still asked her to find another world.

This made her think again of the time when she had a high fever and Wen Yiran was busy asking questions, but Chi Zhengzheng only thought of sending her to the hospital.

That was the beginning of her change of heart towards Chi Zhengzheng, that was the beginning of their friendship.

Chi Zhengzheng suddenly showed a smile: “You can wait before thanking me.”

“Hmm?” Wen Sisi was taken aback.
