Actually, it was not that Xinyou Qiao had changed, but that night Xinyou went back with a high fever.
She stayed in the hospital for two days before she recovered. She called Kerry Ye when she had a
fever, but he hung up on her. At that moment, Xinyou's heart became even harder.
Since she couldn't ruin Kerry, she would ruin his feelings and leave him alone for the rest of his life.
Venus Mu was surprised why Xinyou didn't come to see her when she ran into Xinyou this afternoon.
But she looked much more haggard and pale than she had the two days ago.
"Miss Chu, I want to talk to you." Xinyou's voice was hoarse.
Venus, who had just returned from a walk, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "You and I
have nothing to talk about."
"Of course we don't have anything to talk about, but what if we're talking about Kerry?"
Venus thought that she was finally here, but her face showed she did not care. She shrugged her
shoulders and said, "Well. I'm free anyway. There's a tea house just around the corner. Let's go there."
As soon as they stepped out of the neighborhood, two men followed behind them.
The tea house was quiet, and the waiter led the two to a quiet private room.
"May I ask what tea you two would like?"
"A pot of the Longjing tea." Venus said.
"Okay. Coming right away, please wait a moment for the two of you."
Not long after the waiter went out, a beautiful woman in a cheongsam came in with the tea and nodded
at them. Then she got down on both knees and began to rinse the teapot with hot water, put in the tea
leaves, and brew. Only after pouring the tea once more into the teapot did she serve the tea with both
hands.
Venus liked to quietly watch the beautiful woman do this set of actions as if she was admiring a work of
art.
But Xinyou didn't like it. She was preoccupied with how she would convince this seemingly good but
actually powerful woman in front of her to leave Kerry later.
With a cup of tea in her hand, she politely curtsied slightly to the waiter and then carefully tasted the
tea.
"Miss Chu, I'd like to talk to you alone." She was anxious and said to her.
Venus smiled inwardly and after taking a sip of the fragrant tea, she said to the waiter, "We'll help
ourselves."
"Yes, please savor it."
The green bamboo outside the window rustled in the wind. Venus calmly waited for her to speak.
"Miss Chu, I think you know why I'm looking for you." Xinyou said with a bad tone.
Venus looked at her with a faint smile, "How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?"
Hearing this, Xinyou was tongue-tied but was quite magnanimous, "Then I'll be straightforward. I came
to find you today to tell you that it's impossible for you and Kerry to be together in the future."
Venus wasn't surprised at all. She just sipped the tea in the cup a little bit and smiled, "Miss Qiao, my
relationship with Kerry shouldn't have anything to do with you."
Xinyou snickered, "Miss Chu, I remember the last time you said at the restaurant that I wanted to
intervene in someone else's marriage as a mistress, so what are you doing? Aren't you destroying
other people's families too?"
"Miss Qiao is truly eloquent. But I'm disappointed for you. Kerry and I are just business partners. We
might just have a better relationship in private."
Xinyou would not believe her words and she had this look on her face that showed stop lying, "I can tell
at a glance whether you are ordinary friends or not. Besides, the way Kerry looks at you is not at all the
look of an ordinary friend. Miss Chu, you shouldn't lie to yourself."
Venus placed the cup of tea in her hand on the table, slowly poured herself a cup of tea and said, "How
he wants to see me is his business. I don't have the right to interfere."
Xinyou saw that she didn't have any intention of giving up Kerry at all. She was agitated, "Do you know
why Kerry is interested in you?"
Venus was surprised, "Has he got a crush on me? Miss Chu, you shouldn't talk nonsense.
Kerry married."
"But she wife had disappeared. You should know that. It was because his wife disappeared that he was
interested in you. Haven't you ever wondered why a man as good as him would have a crash on you?"
Xinyou spoke a bit hurriedly, forgetting about Yan Chu's identity.
Venus’s face was instantly cold and her gaze was heavy, "Miss Qiao, I don't feel that I'm any worse
than Kerry. On the contrary, I feel that my status and properties are much better than him."
Xinyou apologized, "I'm sorry. I am wrong. Miss Chu is right. You're so pretty, smart, and you have such
a good family background. So there's even less need to waste time on a married man, right?"
Venus was tempted to say, "You're right. I don't want to waste my time on him at all, but I have to do it
now.”
Xinyou saw her frowning without speaking and continued, "Actually, Kerry has a crush on you solely
because you're similar to his wife. He's just looking for a kind of spiritual sustenance in you. He doesn't
really like you."
Venus gave a deliberate look of surprise, "Do I look like Kerry's wife?"
"It's very similar. Not that it looks much alike, but the whole person is very similar even the voice is
exactly the same." Xinyou was a little excited.
Venus was silent for a while, picking another topic, "Why do you know Kerry so well?"
In order to make her believe her own words, Xinyou sighed and said, "Of course I know him because I
used to love him so much that I would even die for him. If it wasn't for Venus’s appearance, it would
have been me who married him."
Hearing she said this, Venus was in a strange mood. She took the second cup of tea and asked
carelessly, "You married him? What does that mean?"
Xinyou hesitated for a moment. In order to let Venus leave Kerry, she started to make up a story, "I met
Kerry at the hotel. He was drunk that day so we slept together. I was scared and ran away. His wife,
Venus, and I were classmates. She said she was getting married and asked me to be her maid of
honor. On the wedding day, I found out that Kerry was the man in the hotel and he had been looking for
me, but it was too late. He and Venus were only nominal couple, which meant a business marriage. At
first he loved me, but gradually, he distanced himself from me."
"Why?"
Xinyou's face paled, jealousy shining in her eyes, "Venus was the one who was driving a wedge
between Kerry and me. She said a lot of bad things about me in front of Kerry and set me up. That's
why Kerry lost trust in me."
Venus was dumb. This woman was talking and reversing black and white. Didn't this woman think that
the person who was talking about was herself?
Xinyou looked at the shocked expression on her face and thought she believed her words so she was
happy, "Miss Chu, I didn't mean to offend you by coming here today. I just want you to understand the
truth of the matter. Don't be confused by Kerry. If one day Venus comes back, he won't hesitate to
abandon you."
Venus looked at her calmly, "Miss Qiao, I am now the representative of the Mk Company in Sky City,
and Kerry is the president of the Yehuang Group so we will definitely meet often. Miss Qiao, if you want
me not to see him, it's probably impossible."
Of course Xinyou understood. But as long as Venus believed her words, it was the first step to success.
"I'm not asking you not to meet him. I just want to remind you just to never fall in love with this
dangerous man. I'm the biggest victim. His handsome appearance is what attracts women's attention
now, isn't it?"
Venus was confused and thought that she wanted to marry Kerry, didn't she?
Why did she have changed her attitude towards him so much?
"Miss Qiao, I don't quite understand. The first time you ate at the restaurant that day, your attitude
seemed ......"
Xinyou sighed, "I blamed myself for being too naive at the time. I thought that if I died once, he would
feel guilty about me and be able to think of me. After that day, I realized that he already liked someone
else. He likes you now. Since he doesn't have a crash on me anymore, why should I bother with him?"
Venus was really surprised that Xinyou would think this way.
She simply said, "Thank you for reminding me. I know what to do."
Xinyou's eyes showed the joy of victory, "Miss Chu, that's all I want to say. I'll go first."
Venus nodded.
Xinyou walked lightly on her feet and headed out. As soon as she pulled the door open, she heard
Venus ask from behind, "Miss Qiao, there's one more thing I'd like to ask."
Xinyou turned around, "Please ask."
Venus tilted her head and chuckled lightly, "Miss Qiao's real purpose in telling me this today is to kick
out a potential stumbling block like me to pave the way for your own sake, right?"
Xinyou was stunned. This was the first time she had experienced what it was like to have no good
intentions to repay. She suppressed the annoyance in her heart and said icily, "Miss Chu, I've come to
give you advice sincerely. If you don't believe me, just wait to be cheated by that scum Kerry. I'm just
watching."
"Well. I get it. Take care."
