Ji Xiaoli arrived at the bar by taxi after 10 o'clock, there were not many people on the main road, but when she got to the nightclub in this night market area, it was definitely crowded and lively.

  As soon as she stepped into the bar, the smell of alcohol mixed with the scent of perfume on women's bodies rushed into her nostrils... She slightly furrowed her brow and walked in.

  Qī Xiǎo Guāng had indeed drunk too much today, when she arrived she was completely out of it, stupidly sitting in her seat crying loudly, the whole person looked extremely disheveled, one side crying while holding a wine bottle blowing into its mouth.

  Ji Xiaoli shook her head, really didn't know what had happened to make her good friend so out of control... She walked forward and opened the wine bottle with her elbow, using force to push her: "Xiaoguang, let's not drink today, go home..."

  Leaving her alone here at such a late hour, I really don't know what Zhao Wei is made of! Anger aside, people still need to be taken away.

  Zi Xiaoguang suddenly lost control after seeing her, his hands broke free from her wrists and he cried out loudly: "Xiao Lizi, I'm in so much pain... it's so hard to bear, will you drink a cup with me? My heart is in so much pain..."

  After so many years of interaction, Qi Xiaoguang's personality is not perfect, although he also has some temper, but after all, he still knows how to endure, especially after marrying Zhao Wei, in order to win the favor of Zhao's mother, she was more often doing a daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, rather than being the real Qi Xiaoguang herself.

  Ji Xiaoli looked at her friend like that, and her heart ached. She pulled the person and shook them violently: "Alright! How many bottles have you drunk? Take a look at yourself! Red and white mixed together, even if you're feeling down, do you need to torture yourself like this? This will only make others happy and torment yourself, don't you know?"

  Qī Xiǎo Guāng was shaken awake, but her stomach was getting increasingly uncomfortable, and she covered her mouth to suppress a dry heave. Her eyes were empty and lifeless as she grasped Jiǎo Xiǎo Lí's wrist, sobbing: "Xiǎo Lí... I really regret it, if only I hadn't insisted on marrying Zhào Wěi Xíng back then, maybe none of these troubles would have happened. I feel so useless, being scolded by others but not daring to retort, this feeling is just too humiliating!"

  She had endured for two years, married to Zhao Wei for two years, and these two years were spent being constantly belittled by Zhao's mother, especially today when she was humiliated in public.

  At that moment, she almost wished she could disappear from this world. She had never thought of suicide before, but when a person is pushed to the limit, many things will be thought of, including those two words.

  Ji Xiaoli sighed, patted her back: "Don't think about it... the good and bad days have to be spent, drinking a little less is okay, but your body can't handle so much. What's going on between you and Zhao Wei, nothing happened before, what's going on this time?"

  Of course, Zhi Xiaoguang didn't say that there had always been contradictions between them, it just thoroughly broke out today.

  Her mother-in-law has always disliked her, thinking that she is a grassroots background, no background and no temperament, anyway, it's just not suitable for her precious son, so she often talks about her bad things with San Gu Liu Po. She also endured these, anyway, as long as they are not on the surface, she can pretend to have never heard them.

  Because of this, her mother-in-law thoroughly regarded her as a soft persimmon and often pointed fingers at her in front of others. At first, she did so when Zhao Wei was not around, but later on, even when her son was present, she treated her the same way.

  Just today, her good mother-in-law actually used the fact that she hadn't gotten pregnant in two years as an excuse to clean house and wanted Zhao Wei to marry a young lady from a noble family. And Zhao Wei had always been a filial son, rarely arguing with his mother-in-law, even when his wife was right there, he didn't say a word, not even offering any explanation!

  Before marriage, he kept saying that he would create a wonderful life for her, but after marriage, it turned out to be like this. It's impossible not to feel disappointed, but now it's more than just disappointment... She doesn't even know if she can continue living like this.

  Ji Xiaoli suddenly understood, and her heart felt a sense of clarity. This was what it meant to marry into a wealthy family... She herself was the same, perhaps she would also end up like Xiaoguang, falling into such an embarrassing situation, which was absolutely not what she liked.

  "Do you think I still need to go back to the Zhao family?" Qiao Xiaoguang sighed.

  Ji Xiaoli didn't want to interfere with the couple's affairs, so she sighed and said: "Anyway, his heart towards you hasn't changed. Although he is a bit foolish and not very likable, you should still ask him what he means..."

  "What does he mean? I'm afraid it's not his intention, but my mother-in-law's... I also made it clear today that I will stay at my parents' house for the next two days. If it really comes to that point, I have nothing to say!"

  Ji Xiaoli didn't say a word. Although the two of them were not exactly alike in terms of personality, they still shared many similarities to a large extent. In this situation, even she would probably do the same thing.

  "Let's take a look at Wei Xing Ge's attitude first... Don't be too pessimistic, think of things in a positive way."

  Qiao Xiao Guang covered her eyes, her face slightly pale: "These days I think I'll go out and find a job first, staying at the Zhao's house all the time, I'm afraid my hands and feet will become useless... It's not the life of a rich lady, but still living like a parasite, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to make a living for myself, do you think so?"

  Ji Xiaoli nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.

  "Alright, we rarely come to a bar together, let's have another drink... You know, the feeling of getting drunk isn't bad at all. At least you don't have to think about anything."

  Ji Xiaoli looked at her shaking hands and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Still drinking! If I hadn't received that call just now, I think you would have been completely drunk by now, look how many bottles you've had!"

  "Little Li Zi?"

  "Really?"

  "No matter what, I hope you can be happy and not follow in my footsteps... But honestly, these rich ladies are really too difficult to serve, no matter how well you do, she will always find a way to pick on you."

  Ji Xiaoli nodded, "I know."

  Although she hasn't had contact with the Qin family's relatives yet, from Zhao's attitude, she vaguely sensed the pickiness of those upper-class noblewomen... She was originally just a woman without status or position, an ordinary commoner; if they were to look down on her, she wouldn't be able to humble herself.

  Time is spent, others are hard to get along with, that's other people's business, but it doesn't mean she has to suffer silently.

  Qī Xiǎo Guāng let out a belch, his footsteps somewhat unsteady, leaning against the high stool, looking like he might fall off at any moment, at least Jì Xiǎo Lí watched with bated breath.

  "I'll send you back, you've had so much to drink that I don't think you can even walk steadily... Aunt's side is probably asleep too, if you don't mind, why don't you just sleep at my place tonight?"

  Qī Xiǎo Guāng smiled: "What's wrong with me? But will that person of yours drive people away..."

  "You're overthinking!"

  Zi Xiaoguang jumped down from the high stool, his legs trembling and swaying, and he was completely out of sorts. Ji Xiaoli struggled to go up and support him, but when a drunk girl with a belly full of wine leaned all her weight on you, it was hard to hold on too.

  "Are you sure you haven't considered losing weight?"

  "What's the point of losing weight? I've been trying to gain weight recently, only when I have the strength can I take control and turn things around. If someone like Zhao Wei doesn't behave, I can even punch them a couple of times!"

  "......" is too domineering!

  The weather in August and September was still sultry, the wind blowing at night was hot, and Ji Xiaoli's body had a thin layer of sweat. Especially when she was carrying someone, the sweat on her forehead had already seeped out. At this time, a hand stretched out from beside her and gently supported her, who was almost falling down the stairs.

  Ji Xiaoli was shocked and suddenly turned her head back, momentarily stunned.

  Qin Zong?

  Zhi Xiaoguang also turned around when she heard the name, but her eyes were not as dull as those of Ji Xiaoli. In the past, Qin Zong had dumped Xiaoli, and she was a thorough witness to it all, so now when she looked at Qin Zong, it was with the same eyes that one would look at an unfaithful husband.

  Qin Zong saw that Qi Xiaoguang's eyes were somewhat embarrassed, and when she called out to him, he nodded slightly: "So late, what are you doing here?"

  Ji Xiaoli hadn't spoken yet, but Qi Xiaoguang had already opened his mouth and said: "How did you end up here? We're also here. Is there something wrong?"

  Qin Zong's eyes were all on Ji Xiaoli, as if they had been stuck together with 502 glue... Heaven knows that when he saw her again, his heart was still filled with longing.

  They broke up back then because he got drunk and slept with Ji Xuewei, but were caught by her, so they had no choice but to break up. It wasn't that his feelings for her had faded... But now, he's realized he never forgot her. Unfortunately, she's already married.

  This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for him. This used to be his woman, but why now...

  "Xiao Li, I want to talk to you, is it convenient?" Qin Zong's eyes had a struggle, pain, and a hint of nostalgia.

  Qiao Xiaoguang glared at him with a drunken gaze, "What's there to talk about? When you dumped Xiao Lizi back then, why didn't you talk it out? What's the point of being hypocritical now?"

  But this is between them, Ji Xiao Li raised her head and looked at him, saying: "What we should say was already said half a year ago, what else do you want to say to me? There are some things I don't want to hear, if you want to say something, you can tell Ji Xue Wei, she should be more willing to listen than me!"

  "Xiao Li, I won't speak grandiose words... I just want to tell you that over the years, my heart has never changed. I hope you can give me a chance, give me an opportunity to make up for it... Back then, I was indeed wrong, but now I've come to realize it, Xiao Li?"

  Awakening?

  This is simply a joke of epic proportions, and it had to happen now, when I'm least expecting it.

  "It's late."

  Not mentioning that she is now someone else's wife, even if she hadn't married yet, after experiencing such betrayal, it's probably impossible for her to forgive this man.

  All women are clean freaks, she can be sure of that. No one wants to share a man with another woman, at least not her!

  Ji Xiaoli looked into his eyes, coldly questioning: "If you choose me now, what about Ji Xuewei? You abandoned her and put me in a difficult position. What will others think of me? Qin Zong, opportunities are often only once, if missed, they're gone. And I'm already married, don't say such things to me again."

  "Do you love him?"

  Ji Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, and then she realized he was talking about Qin Zhenyang.

  "Is this important?"

  "If you don't love him, you can choose me again! He can give you what I can, and in the future, I will inherit the Qin family's wealth, I can give you the best of everything..."

  Qin Zong hadn't finished speaking when he was punched heavily on the left side of his face, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. He covered his eyes in anger and looked at the newcomer.

  "Little uncle?"

  The man's face was filled with anger as he glared at him: "You scoundrel! Don't you still consider me your uncle? I've told you before, she's my woman, your aunt! How dare you take advantage of my absence to steal her away from me?"
