Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

(Happy Chinese New Year! My dad fell asleep while watching the Spring Festival Gala. I wonder what happens when you readers watch the Gala?)

However, they still couldn't accept the fact that Zhong Xiaoqin was Yang Chu's mistress.

So Zhong's father proposed that Zhong Xiaoqin leave Yang Chu, and at the same time, he also asked Zhong Xiaoqin to remarry Chen Yu.

Zhong Xiaoqin wanted to say something to her father, but her mother firmly told her, "If you don't agree, don't come back. We'll pretend we don't have a daughter like you. We can't bear the shame."

After Zhong's mother finished speaking, she pushed Zhong Xiaoqin out of the house, which was the last straw that broke Zhong Xiaoqin's back.

Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin's appearance, Yang Chu roughly guessed what had happened. He also knew that Zhong Xiaoqin had gone home to visit her parents yesterday, and now that she was like this, her family must have said something.

But now Yang Chu didn't know how to persuade Zhong Xiaoqin. Should he let Zhong Xiaoqin stay? Or should he let Zhong Xiaoqin go home and listen to her parents?

If Zhong Xiaoqin stays, what will happen to her parents? We can't let Zhong Xiaoqin abandon her parents for Yang Chu's sake!

If Zhong Xiaoqin were to leave, Yang Chu wouldn't be so noble and righteous. Just thinking about it makes Yang Chu feel hypocritical, let alone saying it out loud.

When Gao Wen saw Yang Chu coming over from the bar looking sullen, she asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Yang Chu waved his hand, ignoring Gao Wen; there were some things he didn't need to tell her.

Seeing that Yang Chu was unwilling to tell her, Gao Wen wisely refrained from pressing her for an answer.

But Zuberle could feel the oppressive atmosphere between the two of them as he came down from the second floor.

I was going to go over and ask Gao Wen and Yang Chu, but when I saw Zhong Xiaoqin sitting at the bar, she also looked depressed.

Zubere looked back and forth at the three of them, somewhat puzzled.

As night fell, Jiang Lai noticed that something was wrong with Yang Chu and Zhong Xiaoqin.

Zhong Xiaoqin, in particular, has lost her former liveliness and vivacity.

"Tell me! What exactly is going on between you two?"

Zhong Xiaoqin glanced at Yang Chu, who was looking down, and said, "It's my fault, not Xiao Chu's! So please don't blame Xiao Chu."

"Did I say who's to blame? I'm asking what exactly happened?"

Yang Chu sighed and looked at Zhong Xiaoqin, saying, "Speak! Some things we have to face sooner or later."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Zhong Xiaoqin said, "You knew everything?!"

Yang Chu shook his head and said, "I've guessed some of it. It's alright, go ahead and tell me!"

With tears in her eyes, Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Jiang Lai and recounted in detail what had happened after she returned home yesterday.

Jiang Lai, Wang Manni, and Zu Beilai all fell silent after hearing this.

After a long while, Jiang Lai looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and asked, "So what do you think?"

Zhong Xiaoqin glanced at Yang Chu reluctantly, then lowered her head and said, "I'm so happy to be with you guys. These are the most relaxing days I've ever had in my life."

After Zhong Xiaoqin finished speaking, everyone understood what she meant: she wanted to leave.

The preceding words are all setup; there will definitely be more to come, but...

However, Zhong Xiaoqin didn't say what followed the 'but' aloud, but everyone understood what she meant.

Jiang Lai nodded, then looked at Yang Chu and asked, "And you! What do you mean?"

Yang Chu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You're in charge of things at home. You're the one who makes the decisions."

"I'm in charge, but you have to say something!"

"I will not force any woman to marry me."

Jiang Lai received an affirmative answer, then turned to Zhong Xiaoqin and asked, "Are you going to continue doing this job?"

Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head and said, "Even if I wanted to do it, I couldn't do it anymore."

"Okay! Let me know two days in advance when you decide when to leave."

"it is good!"

Zhong Xiaoqin seemed to be using all her strength to utter the word "good" with difficulty.

Yang Chu disliked these kinds of partings the most, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm going out for a walk, I won't be going back tonight."

"Okay, I'll have Jialu drive you."

Yang Chu left the private room without saying a word, neither agreeing to let Li Jialuo follow him nor denying it.

After Yang Chu left, Jiang Lai looked at Zhong Xiaoqin and said, "Alright, don't look half-dead. If you really have feelings for Yang Chu, we can think of a way."

Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head and looked at Jiang Lai, saying, "I know you're all very kind to me, but I know my personal situation, and I know even more that a girl from an ordinary family like me can only make Xiao Chu happy; I can't really help Xiao Chu at all."

Jiang Lai said somewhat impatiently, "Who told you to say these things? You just...!"

Jiang Lai was interrupted by Zhong Xiaoqin before she could finish speaking.

"Listen to what I have to say."

Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin's red eyes, Jiang Lai could only nod.

Seeing that Jiang Lai nodded, Zhong Xiaoqin continued speaking.

“Xiao Chu is so outstanding, it’s impossible for me not to be attracted to him. But as you all said, I also need to be realistic. I’m a divorced woman, and my family isn’t well-off. I’m not qualified to be with Xiao Chu. Maybe living a simple and ordinary life is the best choice for me. I’m already content with the time I’ve spent with you all.”

Jiang Lai, Zu Beilai, and Wang Manni fell silent after hearing Zhong Xiaoqin's words.

They understood what Zhong Xiaoqin meant. Zhong Xiaoqin liked Yang Chu, but he didn't deserve to be with Yang Chu, so he chose to leave. They also hoped that Jiang Lai and the others wouldn't stop her.

Jiang Lai nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said, "Since... since that's the case, then we respect your decision. However... I hope that you can stay here happily as always. You don't want to leave a bad impression on Yang Chu, do you?"

Upon hearing Jiang Lai's words, Zhong Xiaoqin nodded vigorously, wiped away her tears, and revealed her usual smile.

"Don't worry! I won't leave a bad impression on Yang Chu! The bar must be very busy right now, I'm going to get busy."

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoqin left the private room with light steps, just like always.

Wang Manni looked at Jiang Lai with some melancholy and said, "How could it have turned out like this!"

"It's the perspective that comes with class differences!"

Jiang Lai's words left Wang Manni speechless, but Wang Manni was powerless to do anything about it.

"Then why don't you change Zhong Xiaoqin's class status too!"

"I'd like to revise it for her, but she has to be willing to do it!"

Just as Wang Manni was about to say something, Zuberai stopped her.

"Alright, Sister Manny, stop arguing with Sister Jiang Lai. Xiaoqin's situation is really no one else's fault but her own."
