In the Jiang Family’s villa.

“Youyi, there’s something dirty on your eyelids.” When the family sat together for dinner, Mrs. Jiang saw the small piece of paper on her daughter’s eyelids.

“Mom, this isn’t dirty. My right eyelid is twitching wildly today. 1 don’t feel good, so I pressed it down.”

“You’re so young. Why are you so superstitious? Take it off quickly. It’s so ugly.”

Jiang Youyi pursed her lips and muttered softly, “Good things happen when your left eye jumps, and trouble happens when your right eye jumps. This is really unsettling.”

When Mrs. Jiang was young, she was as beautiful as a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. Jiang Youtian had inherited all her beauty. Her eldest brother, Jiang Nian, was more like her father. As the third child, Jiang Youyi did not look like her father or mother, but she was still a bright beauty. Otherwise, Xu Yuning would not have loved her so much with just a glance.

In the Xu family’s villa.

Taking advantage of the fact that his parents were asleep, Xu Yuning walked to his sister’s room and knocked softly. Xu Pingping put a mud film on her face and walked over to open the door for him. “Brother, it’s so late. What’s the matter?”

Xu Yuning deliberately turned around to see if there was anyone behind him. Then, he asked in a low voice, “Did you see her when you went to the Jiang residence today?”

“I saw Sister Youyi.”

“How is she? Is she doing well?”

“It should be… not bad.” Xu Pingping thought for a long time and did not know how to answer. She thought to herself, It’s not like you haven’t seen Sister Youyi for three to five years. Didn’t you meet her two days ago? Could her life have changed much in just two days?

“She accepted the clothes?” Actually, when he saw Xu Pingping return home empty-handed, he knew that Jiang Youyi did not refuse. He originally thought that Jiang Youyi would reject her decisively, but from the looks of it, he seemed to have some hope.

However, his parents were around during the day. He was too embarrassed to ask his sister directly, afraid that his mother would be angry again. Mr. Xu was fine. He had been very calm from the beginning to the end about him canceling the engagement with Jiang Youyi.

Mrs. Xu’s reaction was extraordinary. She doted on her only son very much. Jiang Youyi breaking off the engagement in front of so many dignitaries in Ocean City was undoubtedly a slap to the Xu family’s face in public. Her actions made her precious son become the topic of gossip and laughter in the entire Ocean City, so she had always hated Jiang Youyi and could not let go of this knot in her heart.

“She accepted it, which was unexpected.”

“Did she… ask you about me?”

Xu Pingping sighed and shook her head.

“What else did you talk about?”

“Sister Youyi said that she’ll accept it, but no matter what, she insisted on transferring the money for the gown to me.”

“What?” Xu Yuning was stunned.

“Look, she used Alipay to transfer it to me. It’s exactly the same as the price tag.” Xu Pingping took out the transfer certificate and showed it to her brother.

Xu Yuning snatched the phone from his sister’s hand and repeatedly clicked on Jiang Youyi’s profile picture. All his contact details were blocked by Jiang Youyi. Even when he registered his alternate account to add her, the other party did not respond. However, she did not delete Xu Pingping’s WeChat. He found Jiang Youyi’s profile picture from Xu Pingping’s WeChat list and opened it. For some reason, he sent a WeChat message.

Xu Pingping: “Have you rested?”

Jiang Youyi: “Not yet. What’s the matter, Pingping?”

Xu Pingping said, “My brother asked me about the gown. I said that you transferred the money to me. He was angry with me and asked me to return the money to you no matter what. He said that the gown was custom-made for you. Even if you’re not together now, there’s no reason to collect money.”

Xu Yuning imitated his sister’s tone and chatted with Jiang Youyi. Then, she sent the money back to Jiang Youyi on WeChat. However, Jiang Youyi did not accept it.

Jiang Youyi: “Pingping, I’ve told you before. If you don’t accept my money, 1 won’t accept the gown either. Don’t make things difficult for me, okay?”

Xu Pingping said, “Sister Youyi, can you really not forgive my brother again? He’s been listless at home these days and can’t do anything well. He really realized his mistake and promised not to make the same mistake again. Can’t you give him another chance?”

Jiang Youyi said, “It’s too late to say this.”

On the other end of the phone, Xu Yuning looked at the short message on the screen and felt a sharp pain in his heart. He had once thought that Jiang Youyi must have gotten used to such a life after being by her side for five years.

Even if he made a mistake, she wouldn’t bear to leave him and give up on the feelings he had accumulated over the past five years. However, he didn’t expect Jiang Youyi to let him go so easily..
