Meeting you in autumn

Chapter 108 These Years...

"I saw A-Yi." Guan Yu's voice was low and firm, as if every word contained endless pain.

"Jing Yi?" Shen Chen frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Guan Yu, as if trying to see through her eyes to understand her true thoughts.

Guan Yu nodded slightly and continued, "He is the president of Xingyi Group."

"Then... what is Xiaoyu thinking?" Shen Chen's voice was tinged with urgency, his gaze never leaving Guan Yu's face.

Guan Yu's eyes dimmed, and her lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

Tears welled up in her eyes, as if they might fall at any moment.

Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, as if only in this way could she feel her own existence.

"I'm sorry to him, he will never forgive me..." Guan Yu's voice was filled with pain and self-blame, her body trembling slightly, as if she were being crushed by an invisible force.

"Xiaoyu, it's okay, it's not your fault, you know?" Seeing this, Shen Chen quickly sat down next to Guan Yu, his eyes filled with concern and heartache, as if he wanted to absorb all her pain.

He gently patted Guan Yu's back, each pat filled with endless tenderness.

Guan Yu's tears welled up in her eyes, and she bit her lip, trying hard not to let them fall.

She knew she couldn't be as fragile as she was four years ago; she had to be strong and shoulder the responsibilities of her family.

She took a deep breath and said in a firm voice, "We'll talk to Xingyi Group about the project again tomorrow morning. If it's the same as today, then there's no need for us to humiliate ourselves any further."

He nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Xiaoyu..."

However, he stopped abruptly, as if he had something to say but couldn't bring himself to say it.

That evening, in a mysterious bar, two girls wearing black miniskirts were drinking in a corner.

The bar was dimly lit and the music was deafening, making one's heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Oh my god! Xiaoyu, you've kept this from us for so long! You're actually the eldest daughter of the Guan family in City A!!"

Upon hearing Guan Yu's words, Shen Jia's eyes widened, her voice filled with surprise and dissatisfaction.

A look of guilt crossed Guan Yu's face. She lowered her head, not daring to look Shen Jia in the eye.

"Oh dear, Jiajia, I'm so sorry! I've come to apologize to you today!"

Guan Yu's voice carried a hint of ingratiation as she gently tugged at Shen Jia's sleeve, trying to ease her anger.

However, Shen Jia remained unmoved. She crossed her arms and deliberately turned her face away, ignoring Guan Yu.

Seeing this, Guan Yu was not annoyed. She moved closer to Shen Jia and hugged her tightly.

Her eyes were full of sincerity and apology as she softly said, "Jiajia, didn't I tell you? I had no choice. Please forgive me."

Shen Jia's body trembled slightly. In fact, she had already forgiven Guan Yu in her heart, but she needed some time to accept this fact.

She turned around and looked at Guan Yu. The anger in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a trace of helplessness and heartache.

"Okay, I forgive you. But you can't do this again, understand?" Shen Jia's voice carried a hint of warning.

Guan Yu nodded quickly, a relieved smile appearing on her face.

Shen Jia said helplessly, "Fine, then I'll reluctantly forgive you."

"Jiajia is so nice, come here, let me give you a kiss." He then tried to kiss Shen Jia on the face.

Shen Jia said with a look of disdain, "Oh, I never blamed you. But you know, our Yi-ge was truly heartbroken! You simply can't imagine how he's endured those four years alone."

"After he learned that you had left so resolutely, he searched for you frantically, running to almost every place where there might be news of you, but in the end he found nothing."

“From then on, he was a completely different person. He was originally gentle and kind, but he became increasingly cold-blooded, ruthless and vicious.”

Thinking back on the past, she couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, later he, Chen Fang, and Lu Chuan co-founded Xingyi Group. On the surface, it seemed incredibly glamorous, but who could know how many unknown risks and crises they endured behind the scenes?"

Especially the Jing family, who have always been eyeing him covetously, suppressing and ostracizing him at every turn, trying to nip Yi Ge in the bud after he took over the Jing family.

Facing such a powerful enemy and numerous difficulties, he truly had a remarkable time.

At this point, Shen Jia paused, looked firmly into the distance, and continued, "While I don't have enough power to directly confront those evil forces, I want to do my best to help them."

So, I resolutely joined the design department of Xingyi Group, and with my professional knowledge and talent, I created a series of excellent design solutions for them, hoping to contribute my modest efforts to the company's development.

Shen Jia finished speaking in one breath, then turned to look at Guan Yu beside her.

To their surprise, Guan Yu was already in tears, tears streaming down her face like a flood.

"Oh dear, Xiaoyu, don't cry! Seeing you so sad breaks my heart!"

With a look of heartache, Shen Jia reached out and gently wiped away Guan Yu's tears, softly comforting her.

Hearing Shen Jia's concerned words, Guan Yu slowly raised her head, stared at Shen Jia with her red and swollen eyes, and smiled slightly.

She whispered, "So, Jiajia, I'm going to love him."

"Sigh, you two are really something." Shen Jia shook her head helplessly, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Then, as if she had suddenly thought of something, her tone became firm, and she continued, "Actually, Yi-ge has always loved you and has always been waiting for you."

A hint of surprise flashed across Guan Yu's face, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

She clenched her fists tightly, as if cheering herself on, and then said with a determined look, "Don't worry, Jiajia, I will win him back."

"But if he dares to bully you, I'll beat him up for you!" Shen Jia waved her fist, her eyes flashing with anger.

Her voice was strong and clear, as if she were declaring to the world her commitment to protecting the Guan language.

Hearing Shen Jia's words, Guan Yu's face showed a doting smile. She gently patted Shen Jia's shoulder and said softly, "Okay."

"Come on, let's drink until we drop tonight!" Shen Jia raised her glass to Guan Yu, her eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

"We won't leave until we're drunk tonight!" Guan Yu raised her glass and lightly clinked it against Shen Jia's.

The crisp sound of glasses clinking echoed in the air, as if witnessing their friendship.

Then, the two girls picked up the wine on the table and began to drink.

Their laughter and cheers mingled together, filling the entire room.

As time went by, a blush gradually spread across their cheeks, and their eyes became somewhat unfocused...
