Sit at the wrong table on a blind date, get married to the heir of a billionaire family

Inside the living room upstairs.

The atmosphere is quiet.

Gan Qi and Lian Keyi sat at opposite ends of the coffee table.

Two magazines were placed on the coffee table.

One was just bought by Gan Qi, and the other was brought by Lian Keyi.

The magazine headlines were eye-catching and jarring.

At this moment, Lian Keyi had taken off her sunglasses. Although her face was calm, you could see that her eyes were dim and there was a faint redness around her eyes, so you didn't know if she had been crying.

Gan Qi had a lot to say, but for some reason, she couldn't utter a single word.

She felt inexplicably guilty.

Tao Xixi also felt that the air in the room was as if it had been frozen, and she wanted to break the awkward silence and try to ease the tension between the two of them:

"Um... how about I boil some water and make you two some tea?"

Neither Gan Qi nor Lian Keyi said anything.

Tao Xixi stuck out her tongue in her mind: Good heavens, it's like I'm the owner of this house.

"Then I'll just make some chrysanthemum tea! To cool down a bit."

After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen.

The living room remained silent for a long time.

Gan Qi: "Ke Yi..."

When Lian Keyi heard Gan Qi speak up, she stiffly flipped open the magazine in front of her.

She pointed to a blurry photo inside the magazine: "Is this you?"

Although the photo was taken in a wide shot and was blurry, anyone familiar with the subject could immediately recognize Gan Qi by her hairstyle and clothing.

In addition, the exposé mentioned the workplace and occupation of "Mrs. Meng".

There's simply no way to argue with that.

"Ah."

When Lian Keyi heard that "hmm," her heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cave.

Even though she recognized Gan Qi the moment she saw the magazine, hearing the other person admit it caused her excruciating pain.

Lian Keyi found it hard to accept that Meng Shao, whom she had pursued for so long, had turned around and married someone else, and in such a whirlwind romance! They got their marriage certificate after knowing each other for only an hour!!!

What's even more heartbreaking is that her marriage partner is her long-lost sister!

Good heavens, is God really going to be this cruel?!

Gan Qi: "Keyi, let me explain. I had no idea about his background when we got married! I always thought he was just an ordinary working man. He said he didn't even have a house for our wedding. I really thought he had a terrible family background like me..."

Lian Keyi's smile was forced, and her face was somewhat pale.

"I pursued him for so long, tried every method, and gave him my whole heart, but you got married after only one meeting! What's wrong with this world?"

For Lian Keyi, the truth was shattering her worldview.

Gan Qi lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Lian Keyi, as if she had really become the other woman.

"I really didn't know he was Young Master Meng. If I had known..."

At this moment, Tao Xixi came out of the kitchen carrying a cup of freshly brewed tea.

Seeing that the two had started chatting, she quickly hurried over.

“Oh my, I can testify! I was shocked when Gan Qi said she wanted to get a marriage certificate. Meng Shao portrayed himself as a pitiful person with no house or car, and said he had a bunch of younger siblings to support. I even advised Gan Qi at the time... that she should find someone with good conditions to marry. Gan Qi said she wanted to work hard with him.”

Lian Keyi turned to look at Tao Xixi: "Judging from your reaction, you must have known about Young Master Meng's identity all along, right?"

Tao Xixi choked: "I just, I just found out a few days ago..."

Gan Qi said, "Keyi, in the end, I'm the one who's wronged you. I... I stole your beloved. I'm sorry!"

Gan Qi is usually very eloquent, but today, perhaps because she felt guilty, she even stuttered a little.

After all, she had seen how devoted Lian Keyi was to Meng Shao.

I've seen her sincere heart, and how pitiful she was, worrying about Meng Shao and feeling anxious about losing him.

Lian Keyi's expression froze for a moment, then a faint, bitter smile appeared on her delicate features.

She took a deep breath.

"Stop talking. I've already announced to the outside world that I no longer like Young Master Meng!"

She held the tea that Tao Xixi had brought her in her hand, her voice filled with sorrow:

"You're explaining so much, it's like I still have feelings for him... Haha."

Gan Qi: "I..."

Lian Keyi continued:

“I remember it all. You did tell me before that you and your husband got your marriage certificate after only meeting once and for an hour. I admired your courage at the time! So, strictly speaking, you're not my rival in love; it's just that Young Master Meng didn't choose me!”

The tense atmosphere then eased slightly.

It was just a little sadder than before.

Lian Keyi: "The reason I came to see you is twofold: first, I want to confirm whether the person in this photo is you... second, I want to hear you tell me about the early days of your marriage."

"Ok?"

Gan Qi was somewhat surprised.

Even Tao Xixi, who was standing next to her, was stunned.

Lian Keyi's smile was forced: "I want to hear the details of your whirlwind marriage, I want to know what Meng Shao is really like in private, and I want to know where I went wrong..."

Gan Qi:......

Talking these things to someone who has experienced a failed relationship is like rubbing salt into their wounds, isn't it?

Lian Keyi: "Don't worry, I'm in a very stable emotional state right now."

“I’ve figured everything out, Ganqi. You said a while ago that you wanted to divorce your husband! You said he was hiding some things from you, and I only realized today that he was hiding his family background and origins… You two are currently separated, so you weren’t lying to me… I know you’re not my rival in love, and I won’t treat you as one!”

"So I don't blame you at all. My mother always says that love is predestined! Some people spend half their lives chasing after someone and still can't get a single glance from them, while others can decide to spend their lives together after just one meeting. I feel that way very much now."

Lian Keyi's confession surprised Gan Qi and Tao Xixi.

She seemed to have grown up overnight, without a trace of the willfulness and spoiled nature of a rich young lady.

"Keyi..."

Gan Qi felt even more guilty.
