Extra Chapter 11: Brother’s Story

All these years, Qi Yan had been beaten up by life. Her personality was far less lively than when she was studying in Jiang City. When she first started working, she would be very careful when she suffered some injustice. She would grit her teeth and swallow them herself.

She did not think that this was a bad thing. Everyone had to grow up, and she was not the only one who had these experiences.

However, this did not mean that she could be flattened and manipulated at any time.

“The door is right over there. I won’t see you out.” Qi Yan waved her hand, indicating for them to leave quickly.

If they stayed any longer, she would curse.

No wonder Nan Ge was so angry. This family was the best.

Second Aunt wanted to say something else, but the old lady raised her hand and interrupted her.

The old lady was obviously angry at Qi Yan’s words just now, but on account that she was an outsider, she did not teach her a lesson.

“You’re going on a trip together tomorrow, right? On the way, you can think about what I said. Although it’s a little unpleasant, it makes sense. You and Nan Zhe won’t be able to reach the end. There’s no need to waste any more time. If you continue to be stubborn, I’ll personally call your parents.”

‘ The last sentence happened to land on Qi Yan’s weak spot. It was so painful that her breathing stopped for a moment and she almost couldn’t breathe. The old lady knew that her words had worked and did not stay long.

After they left, Qi Yan took a while to recover.

She sat back on the stool and stared blankly at the half-packed suitcase on the ground.

To be honest, she had never thought about the future with Nan Zhe. She did not know where the two of them could go.

She Imew the difference in status between the two of them better than anyone else. She had never forgotten that she had also imagined that the two of them would one day be crushed by reality.

The script of Cinderella marrying into a rich family would not be her choice.

It could only be said that neither of them would go with any regrets after being together and writing their own story.

Should they separate? This thought had flashed across her mind two days ago.

However, at this moment, she suddenly did not want to make a choice.

From the beginning to the end, Nan Zhe had never owed her anything. On the contrary, he had always been the one who had given more in this relationship.

She did not doubt Nan Zhe’s feelings for her at all. It was also because of this that the choice was not in her hands.

She could not tell him that it was over…

The two of them moved the things into the car and officially set off at nine o’clock.

When they were about to drive out of Huai City, Qi Yan hesitated again and again before telling Nan Zhe about this.

“Your grandmother and second aunt came to look for me yesterday afternoon.”

“Who?” Fortunately, the car stopped in front of a red light. Nan Zhe looked surprised. “Did they come to Huai City to look for you?

“Yes.” Qi Yan nodded.

Nan Zhe retracted his gaze and took a deep breath. After a while, a horn sounded behind him. He sat up straight and stepped on the accelerator. After getting on the highway, he asked, “What did they say to you to make you leave me?”

Even using her feet to think, she knew there was no escaping this subject.

“Uh huh.” Qi Yan continued to nod.

“I apologize on their behalf. I was at the company all day yesterday. If I knew, I definitely wouldn’t have asked them to come over. You know that during this period of time, because of the inheritance distribution last time, Grandma has been staying at Second Uncle’s place. I haven’t seen them in a while.”

“Didn’t we have to keep our relationship a secret beforehand? I didn’t tell my family. When Grandma saw the news, she called me. I said that I had been with you for a while, but she didn’t say much at that time, so I didn’t take it to heart.’

“As for Second Aunt…” At the mention of this person, Nan Zhe gritted his teeth.

“I’ll call Second Uncle later. I won’t let you be bullied for nothing.”

“They’ve never been able to say anything good. It’s been like this for so many years. They’re too controlling.”

“Don’t be angry. How can I let them make the decision for us to separate? I’ve never been obedient all my life. I don’t need them to tell me what to do.”

“Besides, we don’t live together now, so they can’t represent my parents. My parents like you very much and have been following your show and praising you. When we go back this time, I’ll bring you back to meet them.”

“Don’t worry. I definitely won’t be separated from you because of my family. No one can stop me from marrying you.”

Qi Yan touched her nose in embarrassment. “Why are we talking about marriage?”

Nan Zhe smiled mysteriously and did not explain. He only glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Although his tone was playful, his eyes were serious. “So, please be more resolute.”

For some reason, Qi Yan’s heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and nodded heavily. “Got it.”

On the ninth day after leaving Huai City, Qi Yan received a call from her mother.

This time, her mother did not cry on the phone. Her voice was calm but exceptionally cold. She did not give her any chance and said, “Qi Yan, if you still listen to me, break up with Nan Zhe immediately.”

In the service area, Qi Yan stood outside the car alone to take a breather. Nan Zhe had gone to buy food for her and had just left.

She looked in the direction Nan Zhe had left and said to her mother on the other end of the phone, “Mom, I don’t understand. We’re like normal couples. We fell in love freely and have a stable relationship. Why must we separate?”

“Did we do something heinous? Do we have to separate to satisfy everyone?

Isn’t this relationship based on the two of us?”

“Qi Yan, haven’t you grown up? Don’t you think it’s childish for you to say such things? Have Dad and Mom taught you to speak to Mom like this all these years(”

Qi Yan had a headache. “Mom, I just want to talk to you about this. I don’t think we have to separate.”

“You don’t think.. you don’t think of anything! Do you know that the Nan family’s phone call has already reached your father’s office?!”

“What?” Qi Yan was stunned. “They…’

“They called two days ago. Your father has been hiding it from me. I don’t know why their unit suddenly wanted to lay off employees today. Although the name list hasn’t been released yet, how can there be such a coincidence? They are threatening your father!”

“Daughter, we can’t afford to offend the Nan family. Dad and Mom only hope that you can work hard and find an ordinary family who treats you well in the future. Why must we provoke the Nan family?

“Does he have to be the one? With such a family, they’re already treating you like this just because of a simple relationship. Do you know how many difficulties you’ll face when you get married?”

“When you marry so far away and are bullied, Mom and Dad won’t be able to protect you immediately. You should think about it for once. You are my only daughter.. I just want you to be good, okay? Break up with Nan Zhe…”
