After the marriage, the charming educated youth is eye-catching

She took a deep breath and said, "There are so many good girls around you, give others a chance!"

Having said that, she almost named names.

"Stop matchmaking. There's no possibility for Zhong Xuexi and I." Wei Zhihe almost blurted out.

Without any hesitation or concern.

Ruan Qingwei was stunned, "So you already know that she likes you."

"I'm not stupid." Wei Zhihe rubbed his brows. "That girl has always loved following me since she was little, but I always treated her as my younger sister. I remember that she even ran away from home because I was going to marry her older sister."

As Ruan Qing came from a book, he naturally knew something about these plots.

Zhong Xuexi is truly a love-brained person.

But among the people of their age in the compound, many liked Wei Zhihe when they were young. Even though he is divorced now, he is still a popular person.

"Even if her sister and I can never remarry in this life, I will never marry anyone else. You have a good relationship with her, so persuade her not to miss the opportunity if she meets the right one. It's not worth it for me."

Wei Zhihe is still very humane in this regard.

He won't go fishing for anyone.

Ruan Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why don't you tell her this yourself? If my advice had worked, she would have gotten married long ago."

Wei Zhihe choked. Zhong Xuexi had never formally expressed her feelings to him. If he took the initiative to say it, it would seem that he was shameless and self-indulgent.

Therefore, even though he had known Zhong Xuexi's thoughts for a long time, he did not expose the subtle relationship between them.

Wei Zhihe said earnestly, "Just talk to her directly. I'm her ex-brother-in-law. If there's even the slightest possibility between us, won't I be scolded to death? Even if she doesn't care, what about her family? Doesn't she even consider that?"

"Do you think she hasn't thought about these things herself? But if you don't extinguish her hopes, how can she bear to give up?"

Ruan Qing knew very well that nothing was possible between them.

But after traveling through time, in order to better conquer Zhong Heyang, she followed the relationship between the original owner and Zhong Xuexi and maintained it.

If she were to say, Zhao Huaian is so great and he is a perfect match for Zhong Xuexi.

Pity.

Wei Zhihe was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Okay, I'll find a time to explain things to her in person and let her give up as soon as possible."

He was willing to do this only for Zhong Xueyuan's sake.

···

On the other side, after Zhong Xuexi ran out of Ruan's house, she ran towards the art troupe in one go.

But as soon as she ran to the gate of the military compound, she was exhausted and sat on the side of the road to catch her breath.

She really wanted to ask Wei Zhihe in person about what happened that year, but she didn't know how to ask.

If what Lin Ziqiu said was true, she didn't know how to face Wei Zhihe, so she chose to escape.

But deep down, there was a voice shouting, "Go ask Zhong Xueyuan! Go find the truth!"

That's why she impulsively wanted to join the art troupe.

"Xue Xi——"

She sat and rested for a while, then heard shouting in the distance.

It was grandma looking for her.

Zhong Xuexi patted her face, trying to clear her mind. She stood up from the ground and responded to the source of the sound: "I'm here!"

"where?"

"here!"

The voices of the grandparents and grandchildren echoed in the dark night with the cold wind.

Li Guixiang ran to Zhong Xuexi anxiously with a cotton coat in her hand and put it on her. "Why don't you wear more clothes before going out? It's so cold outside..."

"Where did you go just now?" Zhong Xuexi pursed her lips. In the moonlight, she saw the white hair on her grandmother's temples. Her eyes couldn't help but become moist. "Grandma, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those words..."

Li Guixiang has always been very soft-hearted towards her family. Listening to her granddaughter's tearful apology, she felt bad. "Grandma is also wrong. I am sorry for you and your sister..."

Zhong Xuexi held her grandmother's red, frozen hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "Grandma, please tell me what happened back then. I'm not a child anymore. I don't want to be kept in the dark forever."

Li Guixiang paused, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "I originally wanted to keep this matter to myself and let it die with me in the future."

"Back then, everyone thought it was Wei Zhihe who saved your sister from being bullied, but he took the opportunity to bully your sister!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Guixiang couldn't help crying.

She had kept this matter a secret, even from Old Zhong. Only she, Zhong Xueyuan, and the Ruan family knew about it!

Zhong Xuexi felt like she had completely hit rock bottom.

What grandma called "bullying" is self-evident.

Wei Zhihe is truly a beast! No wonder Zhong Xueyuan told her that Wei Zhihe is not worthy of her love.

This is so!

The thought of turning against her sister for such a person made her feel uncomfortable.

Her sister didn't even make an excuse and took all the blame on herself.

How helpless must Zhong Xueyuan have felt at that time? She knew her father and her younger siblings' personalities too well. If she knew Wei Zhihe had bullied her, she would have fought tooth and nail to make him pay.

But now that things have come to this, even if Wei Zhihe is dead, it cannot erase the fact that they...

She didn't want one tragedy to turn into many tragedies.

Let her swallow all the pain alone.

Zhong Xuexi's hands were shaking, and the uncontrollable guilt made her breathless.

Li Guixiang was already in tears, sobbing uncontrollably as she clutched Zhong Xuexi's hand tightly. "Xuexi! Don't blame your sister. Blame me if you want to. I was too weak at the time. I was only worried about how badly it would affect her reputation... so I compromised and let her marry Wei Zhihe!"

Zhong Xueyuan could have chosen not to get married at that time.

But she had too many things to worry about. Her father didn't know the truth. On the day of the incident, he was just very angry that Zhong Xueyuan was almost bullied, but he did not object to the marriage proposed by the Ruan family.

Zhong Xueyuan was well aware of Wei Zhihe's evil ambitions. At that time, Zhong Xuexi reacted so strongly that she even ran away from home.

She was afraid that Wei Zhihe would harm Zhong Xuexi if he couldn't get her.

So she chose to sacrifice herself.

Zhong Xuexi was poured with a basin of cold water, and the coldness spread throughout her body. She not only hated Wei Zhihe, but also hated herself for being blind and letting her sister bear this great injustice alone.

She pulled her hand free and slapped herself hard.

"Xue Xi!"

Li Guixiang's heart tightened, and she quickly hugged her, "Xue Xi, don't be like this! This is not your fault!"

Zhong Xuexi's tears kept falling, "Grandma... I'm sorry, it's my fault... I didn't know people well, it's me... I'm sorry for my sister..."

The grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried. Lin Ziqiu, who came looking for them after hearing the noise, stood not far away and watched this scene with mixed feelings in his heart.

When she saw Zhong Xuexi admit her mistake, she knew that her guess was correct.

Then Wei Zhihe really did something wrong to Zhong Xueyuan.
