Chapter 329: Will You Forgive Me?

anger, losing all patience.At this moment, Guan Lei's face flushed red and white, embarrassed and ashamed, with a touch of fear. She truly saw what it meant to be utterly reckless.A tall figure rushe...Jo Baoer didn't speak, staring at the man before her. He had changed so much.

"Joe Bao'er, people always change..." He raised the corner of his mouth with a vague smile, somewhat self-deprecating.

“If Junzhi Mu was just an ordinary stranger, I might admire him. But he’s my cousin, and we are about the same age. We are constantly compared to each other, which I hate the most. Because no matter what I do, I always fall short of him. Since I was young, I had a dream of surpassing him.”

Then reality taught me about life... He was the only grandson of the Jun family, and he had the &am; Group in his grasp. No one could shake his position, no matter how hard others tried, it was all for nothing.

Yi Sicheng seemed to be saying it with great conviction, honestly telling her.

"Actually, before that, my mom and I, along with three aunts, teamed up to try and persuade the company's shareholders. We were going to exploit a loophole in one project to oust Junzhi牧. Back then, we all thought it would definitely work because he had just returned from America and had no experience dealing with the company's affairs."

He chuckled, lost in reminiscence. "You know what's the funniest part"

"As it turns out, Jun Zhi Mu's influence overseas was far more terrifying than the Jun Family... 18 major shareholders and all regional presidents, no one dared to say a word."

Qiao Bao'er listened quietly, watching him raise a smile at this moment. The smile seemed very composed and mature, but there was still a hint of unwillingness in his eyes after all.

"That's when I knew, I could never surpass my cousin for the rest of my life,"

Yi Sicheng paused, his gaze burning into her face, his voice dropping to a low murmur, "But who knows, the world is unpredictable. Perhaps one day he will meet with misfortune too..."

Qiao Baoer felt a little uncomfortable under his strange gaze.

"What do you want to talk about"

“ Qiao Bao’er, I want to say that I regret it, I regret it very much. I married you first, I could have won against him, but in the end, I was still outmaneuvered by him.”

Yi Sicheng suddenly became emotionally agitated, raising his voice and shouting, "He secretly colluded with Ye Xi to deceive me, he schemed against me!"

The anger and resentment that spread through his chest, his right fist slammed heavily on the table, "I've already married you, he has to bring Ye Xi back to deceive me!"

With a clang, the waiter in the corridor carrying their drinks stumbled, sending the tray crashing to the floor.

The sudden sound brought him back to his senses.

The waiter quickly cleared the table and nervously offered to prepare new drinks for them.

As an outsider, Zhu Xiaowei was frightened by Yi Sicheng's appearance just now. She secretly held Qiao Baier's hand with her right hand, afraid that something might happen unexpectedly, and immediately dragged her away to run.

Qiao Bao'er didn't seem to have any emotion on her face. Perhaps because of her indifference, Yi Sicen felt like a joke and quickly regained his composure.

"Qiao Bao'er, I was wrong to you before. Will you forgive me"

"Forgot," she said calmly.

Yi Sicheng also calmly replied, "Your two words are really hurtful."

Even with a feigned calmness, the discontent in his tone was impossible to quell.

But then he suddenly laughed, this time truly laughing openly, "To be honest, Junzhimu is really lacking in vision. With so many women to choose from, he chose you ha ha ha…"

"When you married me, it wasn't because of love. And when you married him, it wasn't because of love either."

Joe Bao'er's face changed slightly when she heard this.

Yi Sichen seemed to have let out a breath, his mood brightening. He gazed at her face with an unreadable expression and asked her meaningfully.

"Qiao Bao'er, if Jun Zhi Mu treated you the way I have, would you forgive him"

She pursed her lips, saying nothing.

The waiter carefully brought them hot chocolate and coffee. Qiao Bao'er picked up her hot chocolate expressionlessly and took a sip, her mind filled with more worry.

Yisi Chen felt that her emotions were easy to guess. Just looking into her eyes, he knew she cared about another man.

"Jo Bao'er, have you ever thought that you don't care about him as much as you imagine"

His words were like a suggestion, " Qiao family, and Ye Wei Ye Xi, you say you hate them, but I know you won't hold a grudge. Your way of thinking, you wouldn't be like other women, going crazy with hatred or love."

If you want someone to stay, there has to be something that ties them down. Like maybe you think I saved your life, or your parents arranged the marriage, or because of the children. If there weren't these ties from the beginning, you could easily forget about the other person. You'd just be yourself.

Jo Baoer doesn't have many friends. It's not that she has poor interpersonal skills, but rather she simply doesn't take others to heart and habitually ignores them.

Your grandfather is truly very fond of you. He only taught you how to live for yourself, but he didn't teach you how to live for others.

Qiao Bao'er's face suddenly became a little complicated, and she opened her mouth to retort something, but she couldn't.

The bell above the restaurant door jingled as a new customer walked in.

"Yi Zong, you've been lecturing her so much about all these big ideas. Qiao Bao'er probably doesn't understand a word of it."

Lu Qinian, in a bespoke, expensive gray suit, strode towards them, looking every bit the suave and debonair young master.

Joe Baoer and Zhu Xiaowei looked at each other in surprise when he suddenly appeared here, wondering what he was doing here.

Yi Sicheng, when he met Lu Qinian, had a flat expression and politely nodded at him.

The Lu family is also not to be trifled with; the few of them have known each other since childhood. Lu Qinnan's personality is quite easygoing and he gets along well with everyone. In fact, Yi Sicheng quite liked playing with him at first.

Later, Lu Qinan always followed Jun Zhimou. Everyone gossiped behind his back, saying he was fawning over the Jun family, and all sorts of nasty things were said. Lu Qinan remained as always. Yi Sicheng looked down on him for willingly doing things for Jun Zhimou, thinking he was only doing it for personal gain.

And Lu Qinan didn't particularly dislike him. It was just that their circles were different. Yi Sicheng had a strong desire to perform and was very competitive. It was pitiful that he had such a formidable cousin. Lu Qinan felt quite sympathetic towards him.

Yi Sicheng looked much more mature, but unfortunately, he was still so short-sighted and couldn't change his nature. In Lu Qinnan's eyes, he was now like a cornered beast, somewhat self-deprecating. This wasn't growth.

Lu Qinan had nothing to say to him, so he took Qiao Bao'er and left directly.

Qiao Bao'er also consciously followed him up and left, politely saying to Yi Sicheng, "Goodbye." She didn't even look back.

Yi Sicheng's face was calm, his eyes fixed on them as they left. He really wanted to say something to stop them, but he had no excuse and no opportunity.

Rancor, resentment.

"I think Yisi Chen seems to be jealous of Jun..." Zhu Xiaowei, who had been silent ever since they left the restaurant, suddenly spoke up.

Lu Qinan nonchalantly quipped, "Anyone would go a little crazy having an uncle like this."

"Those aunts of Zhi Mu must really want their children to perform well in front of Grandpa. Children around the same age are already under a lot of pressure, and besides, the Yi family rose to prominence because of the Jun family…"
