Chapter 274 His younger sister helps him pursue his wife
"He's my ex-boyfriend."
Zhou Siyan was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to say that.
In fact, she did feel a familiar warmth just now, which is why she had this illusion.
"Actually, I was just in a daze and misread it."
She realized her words might cause a misunderstanding and quickly explained.
Having finally mustered the courage to communicate with strangers, Zhou Siyan was afraid of being disliked again.
"You and my ex-boyfriend seem a bit alike. You don't like to express your feelings much, but you are very kind people who warm people's hearts in the details. That's why I misjudged you."
"Oh, your boyfriend is so great, how could you break up with him?"
He Yan curled her lips, deliberately ignoring her gesture.
She looked Zhou Siyan up and down, her tone turning cold.
"If your ex-boyfriend would let you go out alone in slippers late at night, he's probably not any better either."
"No, it has nothing to do with him, it's my family..."
Zhou Siyan lowered her head somewhat shyly.
She didn't think about defending herself when she was scolded, but she didn't want He Yunyi to be misunderstood.
“My ex-boyfriend is a very good person, but there is a huge gap in our social status. When he was with me, his relatives laughed at him. I didn’t want to see him put in a difficult position between me and my family, so we had to break up.”
"Oh, I see."
He Yan nodded thoughtfully, knowing that this was He Huijun's style.
Her sycophancy and meanness are well-known.
However, He Yan truly despised He Yunyi in her heart.
What a cowardly man! He's a disgrace.
"That's because your ex-boyfriend didn't protect you well. If he really liked you, he would have stood up for you against the whole world."
She turned her head and gave He Yunyi, who was hiding in the shadows, a disdainful look.
He Yunyi's expression froze.
The hurt from one's own sister is truly direct.
But when he looked at Zhou Siyan, his eyes were full of love.
Hearing that she chose to break up because she didn't want to put him in a difficult position, he felt even more contempt for himself.
He's truly useless; he can't even protect the person he likes.
Zhou Siyan was completely unaware that she was being watched.
A bitter smile appeared on her face. Although she was disappointed, she did not regret meeting him.
The current outcome may be the best one.
“He was the brightest light in my dark life and my salvation. I hope he has a brighter future and a more wonderful life, and that he won’t be like me, burdened by his family.”
Perhaps because she had been suppressing her emotions for too long, Zhou Siyan couldn't help but let them out.
She petted the cat, regardless of whether the other person wanted to or not.
"My family, in other people's words, is a bunch of troublemakers, with no manners and no class."
Zhou Siyan loathed her background, yet she couldn't escape its constraints.
She hated her own sense of morality; she couldn't bring herself to break off the relationship.
"I love painting. I joined a club in college, and that's where I met Yunyi. Unlike other rich kids who are good for nothing, he was polite and well-mannered in every way. I fell for him without realizing it."
Those wonderful times made me forget that I had such a terrible family, but reality never let me off the hook. My family found out about Yunyi's identity and began their bottomless greed.
Zhou Siyan felt pain when she talked about these things.
She didn't understand why her parents were like that.
"So you feel that you are a stain on his reputation and don't want to ruin his life, which is why you chose to break up with him."
He Yan listened quietly to the story and learned the truth from her.
She originally thought that He Zhengyuan and Su Wan were not the kind of people who would look down on Zhou Siyan's family background. Even if He Huijun gossiped about it, it wouldn't cause the two to separate. At most, they would just have to endure some pressure.
But knowing that she has such parents is truly suffocating.
Given the He family's upbringing, they certainly wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
Two families with such a large gap in social status are likely to have disagreements about anything that happens in the future.
“Yunyi originally wanted to take me to meet his family so that both sets of parents could meet.”
Zhou Siyan felt embarrassed whenever she recalled those events.
She even hated her parents.
“But my parents think they can control Yunyi, so they make some very unreasonable demands on him, which makes me feel ashamed.”
"Have you never thought about breaking away from them?"
He Yan, who had never experienced anything like this before, also found it outrageous.
Her personality has never been threatened since childhood, and it's the same now that she's back in the He family.
Because I only need to be responsible for myself, I don't expect anything from anyone else.
“They are my parents, how can I get rid of them?”
Zhou Siyan had never thought of such a thing. In her mind since childhood, it was considered unfilial to disregard one's family.
To put it bluntly, she lacks the courage to take a gamble.
He Yan did not offer any further comments.
She knew that not everyone could be both resolute and clear-headed.
Everyone has their own karma, and as an outsider, she can't interfere. It's up to them to decide.
Of course, if He Yunyi also lacks the courage, then all his efforts will be in vain.
This ill-fated couple faced even more difficulties ahead.
"I go first."
"Ah! Okay, thank you for chatting with me."
Zhou Siyan felt a little embarrassed that she would confide in a complete stranger.
However, she felt much better after talking about what had been weighing on her mind.
She watched He Yan leave, then touched the flowers again.
"Huahua, now that you're with me, I'm not lonely anymore."
As soon as He Yan left, she turned a corner and saw He Yunyi waiting anxiously beside her.
"Xiaoyan, what brings you here?"
He wanted to know more about Zhou Siyan.
He Yan rolled her eyes at him.
She's not an expert in emotional regulation, and she certainly doesn't have that much free time.
“You heard everything, so what else do you want to say? Her family is a constraint for her, and you're not much better off. As a man, you're not as decisive as her.”
“I know, that’s why I regret it. I also want to break all the shackles for her.”
He Yunyi felt helpless, and he kept blaming himself in his heart.
It's not that he can't protect her, but rather that he wants to protect her so much that he's willing to respect her choice.
She also has her own self-respect and pride.
Unconditional help will only complicate the relationship.
"Give me the invitation."
He Yan was a little speechless, but still decided to help him.
It wasn't for him, but because she could see that Zhou Siyan was indeed a good girl.
Without hesitation, He Yunyi handed the invitation to He Yan.
"I knew you were the best!"
"..."
He Yan decided not to stoop to his level.
She took the invitation, turned around, and went back to hand it to Zhou Siyan, who was still there.
"This is?"
Zhou Siyan took it with surprise, and when she opened it, she saw He Yunyi's name.
There are also VIP tickets for antique exhibitions with gold foil trim.
"You...are also from the He family?"
“I am his younger sister, He Yan. This is what he asked me to give you. If you have time, you can go and see him. If you are determined, don’t suppress your feelings and thoughts.”
He Yan felt there was no point in hiding this, so she introduced herself.
Zhou Siyan was even more shocked, and she turned her head to look behind her.
But I didn't see the person I wanted to see.
Is he here too?
He Yan received He Yunyi's pleading look and felt even more contempt for him.
However, she didn't want to put pressure on Zhou Siyan.
"No, he felt guilty and didn't dare to come to see you."
"It's over between us. I shouldn't go back and get entangled with him. Please thank him for his kindness on my behalf."
Zhou Siyan returned the invitation, no longer daring to harbor any further hopes.
She has to work to support her family and can't fit into the activities of such wealthy people.
"I'm only responsible for delivering the mail, not for collecting it."
He Yan refused to accept the offer, but didn't insist.
She understood Zhou Siyan's predicament and respected her thoughts.
"You don't have to go, but you have to talk to him yourself."
