His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1444: Chapter 407: Family Education Is Very Important (Part 7)

”I should have visited in person, but I was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so I can only ask you to help me hand over the gift to him.”

A pile of supplements, all seemingly expensive, Li Man must have been very thoughtful in picking out the pricey ones for Jiang Zhiyuan.

”I’ll hand them over for you, but how did you know Jiang Zhiyuan was in trouble?”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but ask Li Man.

”A colleague at the studio went to the hospital for a check-up and coincidentally saw him being resuscitated. I heard someone call out Jiang Zhiyuan’s name, and I overheard it during their chat.”

Li Man lowered her head, looking at the wound on her hand. It’s from hastily packing this morning—-a cut on her palm. She wondered if it would heal easily.

”I see. Well, there’s no need to overthink Jiang Zhiyuan’s injuries. He who survives a great disaster is destined for good fortune!”

Qin Mu didn’t really know how to comfort her, and being the middleman was indeed awkward.

Li Man was in a bad mood, and she didn’t know how to console either.

”Oh! I moved out from Li Yu’s place!”

Li Man nodded, realizing that it’s not right to meddle in other people’s affairs too much. After some thought, she told Qin Mu this.

Qin Mu’s eyes flickered slightly but quickly returned to calm. She then understood the reason for Li Man’s reddened eyes.

”You and Li Yu...”

”Forget it! It’s been too many years! I’ve given up!”

Li Man said with a gentle smile. She had used up all her strength just to maintain this seemingly peaceful appearance.

Qin Mu listened to those words and looked at Li Man’s expression. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

”Thinking about these years, maybe I really did too much. I’ve heard that in relationships, the one who habitually gives is always the one who gets let down!”

Li Man laughed slightly. She didn’t like this truth, but there was nothing she could do. She had been chasing for so many years, chasing until she was utterly exhausted. Until last night when Li Yu left and this morning, she no longer had the energy to chase, to wait; she gave up.

As soon as she thought about him possibly binge-drinking with his girlfriends outside, while she lived in utter pain alone, she couldn’t bear continuing this life for another moment.

She’d rather meet someone she loves, like in the books, marry someone who loves you, but never marry someone who doesn’t love you.

A forced melon will rot before it ever becomes sweet!

Though she wouldn’t choose that boy, she wouldn’t cling onto Li Yu anymore.

She won’t believe the phrase ”a woman’s pursuit of a man is like a mere veil” anymore.

”Qin Mu, how did you and Mu Yichen end up together? Doesn’t growing up together make it hard to be together? Because it’s too close, too familiar!”

Later on, Li Man left the studio without telling Qin Mu where she was going, and Qin Mu also had no way to give her an answer.

Qin Mu stood upstairs, watching her leave in a car below. Suddenly, she thought, she was no longer that girl who easily fit others’ emotions onto herself. She used to always relate to herself when she saw others failing to obtain love. But now, as she watched the heartbreaking emotions between Li Yu and Li Man, she could observe with detachment.

Even when Li Yu returned home that day, he hadn’t noticed she had left until evening.

It seemed as if she hadn’t moved out at all, still diligently working behind the actors, seemingly working hard to earn her salary.

Mu Yichen didn’t go on a business trip to Paris, but he did have his subordinate deliver a gift to Jian Yan’s apartment, where Xiao Wei was keeping him company.

”Hello! Is this JY’s apartment?”

The male subordinate saw a crystal-clear girl standing at the door, instinctively thinking he might have gone to the wrong place.

”Yes!”

Xiao Wei calmly replied. Although she was taken aback to see a fellow Chinese standing there, she guessed at his purpose when she saw him holding a large box.

”I am an employee of President Mu’s company, here on a business trip to deliver a gift for JY as instructed by my boss.”

”Please come in!”

Xiao Wei blinked her big eyes. Clearly, she wasn’t in a great mood, but she still showed courteous manners.

Jian Yan was in the study, working on designs, despite looking haggard.

Xiao Wei pushed his door open, softly informing him, ”Someone from President Mu’s company is here!”

Jian Yan looked up in her direction. Xiao Wei didn’t enter; she turned and left after conveying the message, and Jian Yan muttered softly, ”Please have a seat inside!”
