Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

In the high-end restaurant, soft lights shine on the exquisite dining table, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere.

Zhao Zixuan sat together with He Jieyu, Wang Peipei, Zhang Yun and the slightly reserved Jiang Qian, enjoying this rare dinner time.

On the dining table, various delicacies were served one after another, which were colorful, fragrant and delicious, making people salivate.

However, surrounded by delicious food, Jiang Qian seemed a little absent-minded. She would occasionally glance at Zhao Zixuan, but whenever their eyes were about to meet, she would quickly lower her head, her cheeks slightly red, her heart filled with guilt and uneasiness.

Zhao Zixuan naturally noticed Jiang Qian's abnormality, but he did not point it out directly. Instead, he spoke to everyone in a gentler tone, trying to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

He talked about his recent work and study, and shared some interesting experiences and insights, which made Wang Peipei and Zhang Yun laugh from time to time.

However, to Jiang Qian, these laughs were like invisible knives, cutting through her inner guilt.

She thought back to what she had done to Zhao Zixuan before and felt extremely regretful.

"Qianqian, what's wrong with you? You don't look very happy."

Zhang Yun noticed Jiang Qian's abnormality and asked with concern.

Jiang Qian looked up and met Zhang Yun's eyes full of concern, and her eyes couldn't help but become moist.

Then, she looked at Zhao Zixuan, lowered her head, and tears welled up in her eyes. She knew she couldn't escape this question, nor could she use a simple "I'm sorry" to make up for the harm she had caused to Zhao Zixuan.

"I...I was carried away at the time and was taken advantage of by those Jews."

Jiang Qian finally plucked up the courage to confess her motives, "I just want you to notice me, I want you to accept me... I know it's selfish and mean, but I really don't know what to do..."

Zhao Zixuan's eyes flashed, and he said seriously: "Jiang Qian, true love shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be obtained through hurt and deception. What you did not only hurt me, but also yourself, and even Jieyu's trust in you."

"I...I really know I was wrong." Jiang Qian burst into tears, not daring to look Zhao Zixuan in the eye. "I am willing to accept any punishment as long as you can forgive me. I will try my best to make up for my mistakes, no matter how long it takes."

Zhao Zixuan was silent for a moment. He looked into Jiang Qian's eyes full of regret, still feeling disdainful in his heart.

It’s just because he knows women like Jiang Qian too well.

In order to achieve their goals, they can do whatever it takes and sacrifice everyone, including themselves.

Zhao Zixuan stared at Jiang Qian and said, "It's not easy to forgive someone, but I can try to let it go because you are Jieyu's friend. But you also have to understand that once trust is broken, it takes time and effort to rebuild it. I hope you can truly reflect on your behavior and learn to respect others and yourself."

Seeing that Zhao Zixuan's tone had softened a lot, He Jieyu persuaded him, "Brother, I believe Qianqian has realized her mistake. Let's give her a chance, right?"

Zhao Zixuan already knew what He Jieyu meant, otherwise he would not have come here to invite everyone to dinner.

So, he went with the flow and said with a helpless smile: "Okay, then I'll listen to you. Let the past be the past. What's important is that we can sit together now and have a meal and chat like friends."

Wang Peipei and Zhang Yun also echoed and encouraged Jiang Qian to let go of her worries and start over.

They know that everyone makes mistakes, but the key is whether you have the courage to face them and correct them.

With everyone's consolation, Jiang Qian finally plucked up the courage, raised her head and looked directly at Zhao Zixuan and He Jieyu, and the atmosphere became relatively relaxed.

As the atmosphere gradually relaxed, the warmth and elegance of the high-end restaurant returned.

Although Zhao Zixuan still had some grudges in his heart, he also understood that giving others a chance to reform was also a manifestation of tolerance towards himself.

He Jieyu was quite satisfied with today's atmosphere. She nodded slightly to Zhao Zixuan, with a hint of relief in her eyes.

Then she raised her glass and said to everyone: "Come on, cheers to our friendship!"

Jiang Qian, Wang Peipei and Zhang Yun responded one after another and raised their glasses to clink with Zhao Zixuan and He Jieyu.

At this moment, the gap between them seemed to gradually dissipate as the wine flowed.

After three rounds of drinks, Zhao Zixuan got up to go to the bathroom and settled the bill.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he left, Jiang Qian followed him, saying she was going to the bathroom to touch up her makeup.

Although Zhao Zixuan had doubts in his heart, he did not think too much about it. He just nodded lightly and continued to walk towards the bathroom. Jiang Qian followed closely behind him, feeling both nervous and expectant.

In the bathroom, the two met unexpectedly, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle. Zhao Zixuan washed his hands and was about to leave, but Jiang Qian gently pulled his sleeve.

"Zhao Zixuan, I have something to tell you." Jiang Qian's voice was low and sincere, and her eyes revealed an unprecedented seriousness.

Zhao Zixuan stopped, turned around, and looked at Jiang Qian calmly. "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Jiang Qian took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

"I know my previous behavior was excessive, and I also understand that those are not the solution to the problem. But I want to tell you that I really want to change. Not for your forgiveness, but for myself, to become a better person."

As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhao Zixuan's right hand and placed it on her heart.

Zhao Zixuan was startled by Jiang Qian's sudden action, but he quickly calmed down and said coldly: "Are you still not giving up? Do you really think you can seduce me just because you have big breasts?"

There was a hint of sarcasm and indifference in Zhao Zixuan's words, which made Jiang Qian's face turn pale instantly. She didn't expect that her sincere confession would be exchanged for such a response, and she didn't expect that Zhao Zixuan would reveal her scars so bluntly.

She withdrew her hand tremblingly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

"Zhao Zixuan, I know I have done many wrong things in the past, but this time I am serious. I am not trying to use my body to exchange for your forgiveness, I just hope you can feel my determination and sincerity."

This is both a responsibility and a stand!
Zhao Zixuan suddenly felt extremely disgusted with her and said coldly, "You'd better not do this kind of thing again, and don't make Jieyu angry again, otherwise you know the consequences."

When Jiang Qian heard this, her face turned even paler. She realized that her previous actions might be seen as frivolous and hypocritical in Zhao Zixuan's eyes.

"I...I didn't mean that..."

Jiang Qian's voice trembled slightly. She tried to explain, but felt that any explanation seemed pale and powerless.

She understood that her past mistakes had deeply hurt Zhao Zixuan and made him lose trust in her.

Zhao Zixuan didn't say anything else. He turned around and prepared to leave the bathroom.

Before leaving, he paused, turned his back to Jiang Qian and said, "I hope you can remember what I said today and really make changes. Not for anyone, but for yourself." After that, Zhao Zixuan strode out of the bathroom, leaving Jiang Qian standing there alone.

She didn't understand, apart from her face and family background, what else was inferior to He Jieyu?
Is it because my figure is not perfect enough or the headlights are not big enough?

Why is there no attraction to a man like Zhao Zixuan! ?

If it were any other man, after seeing my perfect body, he would definitely kneel on the ground and lick my face like a pug to please me.

Why doesn't Zhao Zixuan buy into this?!
Returning to the dining table, Zhao Zixuan regained his usual calmness and composure, as if nothing that had just happened had happened.

Jiang Qian seemed a little absent-minded. She tried to adjust her mood and tried to blend into the conversation. But every time she looked at Zhao Zixuan, she could feel the alienation and indifference in his eyes.

At this moment, He Jieyu leaned close to Zhao Zixuan's ear and whispered, "Brother, did Jiang Qian come to look for you just now? What did you talk about outside?"

In response to He Jieyu's question, Zhao Zixuan tilted his head slightly, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, but then he regained his calm.

He replied softly: "Nothing special, try to keep your distance from Jiang Qian in the future."

His tone was calm, and he seemed unwilling to talk too much about what had just happened.

He Jieyu had guessed something when she heard this. She knew Zhao Zixuan's character and knew that he was not someone who was easily moved by appearance or words.

What Zhao Zixuan values ​​is a person's inner qualities and sincere attitude, and Jiang Qian's past behavior has left a deep mark in his heart, which is not easy to erase easily.

"Brother, I listen to you."

He Jieyu said obediently that she chose to trust Zhao Zixuan unconditionally, both before and now.

"You are such a good sister of mine. Why don't you ask me why?"

Zhao Zixuan looked at He Jieyu deeply, and his left hand unconsciously wrapped around her soft and slender waist. The touch was so wonderful, it could be said to be the most perfect silky touch in the world.

He Jieyu's cheeks flushed slightly. She felt Zhao Zixuan's tenderness and closeness, and her heart was filled with sweetness and joy.

She shook her head and said softly, "Brother, I don't need to ask why. Because I know that everything you do is for my own good. I trust your judgment, and I trust your heart even more."

When Zhao Zixuan heard this, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

He gently pulled He Jieyu closer, making the distance between the two of them even closer. "Thank you for trusting me so much. With you by my side, I feel that everything has become better."

The conversation between the two was full of warmth and sweetness, as if everything around them had stopped.

However, such a scene made Jiang Qian, who was standing by, feel even more irritated and jealous.

She watched the intimate interaction between Zhao Zixuan and He Jieyu, her heart filled with resentment and anger. But she also understood that she could not change it all, and could only silently endure the torment in her heart.

However, Jiang Qian did not give up. She knew that she needed to make changes to win Zhao Zixuan's favor.

So, she secretly made up her mind to work hard to become a better person and let Zhao Zixuan see her sincerity and efforts. At the same time, she also began to try to establish a more friendly relationship with He Jieyu, hoping to get closer to Zhao Zixuan with her help.

…………

It was ten o'clock in the evening and the night was deep. The lights on the paths in the Peking University and Tsinghua University campuses were dim, adding a touch of warmth and mystery to the quiet night.

However, in this tranquility, a discordant sound suddenly came - a man and a woman were pulling and arguing with each other not far away, breaking the peace around them.

After Zhao Zixuan sent the girls to Bauhinia Apartment, he was about to return to his residence, but unexpectedly he saw this scene.

He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but under the light, he suddenly discovered that the two quarreling protagonists were old acquaintances, a couple who had broken up and gotten back together many times since they got together - Tong Yan and Gu Ze.

"Stop the car and drive over."

When Li Shaojin heard Zhao Zixuan's order, he quickly and steadily stopped the car not far in front of where Tong Yan and Gu Ze were arguing. At the same time, he was secretly curious why Zhao Zixuan cared so much about this couple who often quarreled.

The car window slowly lowered, and the cool night breeze mixed with the unique fresh scent of the campus blew on his face. Zhao Zixuan's eyes moved back and forth between Tong Yan and Gu Ze with a hint of an intriguing smile.

He spoke softly, his tone both inquiring and comforting: "I happened to meet you, do you need any help?"

Tong Yan and Gu Ze obviously didn't expect to meet Zhao Zixuan at this time, and they didn't expect him to stop the car and ask. They were both stunned for a moment, and the quarreling stopped abruptly.

There was a complex look in Tong Yan's eyes, showing both surprise and gratitude.

She bit her lip lightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Gu Ze seemed even more embarrassed. He scratched his head and forced a smile: "Why are you here? Oh, I almost forgot, you are Cheng Yuyan's man! However, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This is between Tong Yan and me."

When Zhao Zixuan heard this, his expression did not change at all. He did not directly respond to Gu Ze's provocation, but turned his gaze to Tong Yan, waiting for her response.

Tong Yan took a deep breath and said, "Gu Ze, we have broken up. Please don't bother me anymore. That's it!"

After saying that, she prepared to open the car door and leave with Zhao Zixuan.

When Gu Ze heard Tong Yan's words, his face turned pale instantly. He stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed Tong Yan's arm, and said anxiously: "Tong Yan, you can't do this! The problem between us can be solved. You can't give up our relationship because of a momentary impulse!"

Tong Yan struggled hard, trying to break free from Gu Ze's restraints, but her strength was obviously not as great as Gu Ze's, and she couldn't get rid of it easily.

She frowned, her eyes flashing with anger and helplessness: "Gu Ze, let go! The problems between us are not so easy to solve. You are always like this, avoiding problems and never willing to really face and solve them. I've had enough, we are really not suitable to be together."

Seeing this, Zhao Zixuan finally spoke.

"Gu Ze, let her go. Tong Yan has made her decision, you should respect her choice."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ze's body shook slightly. He looked at Zhao Zixuan, with a hint of unwillingness and anger in his eyes.

But Zhao Zixuan's eyes were domineering and oppressive, like a sharp knife that could pierce people's hearts at any time, making him involuntarily let go of his hand.

Tong Yan took the opportunity to break free, then quickly opened the car door and got in. (End of this chapter)
