When I returned to the apartment in the evening, Chen Ting stopped me.

Our eyes met.

Chen Ting looked fierce.

"Xie Tangtang, what did you mean on the phone during the day? You didn't help Zhou Jihua at all?"

"After everything he did for you, how can you treat him like this?"

"I really misjudged you. I can't believe I considered you my best sister for so many years."

Upon hearing this, my face instantly turned cold.

My tone was also indifferent.

"What did he do for me?"

In my previous life, he saved me from a fire and treated my ears. So no matter what conflicts I had with him or when I broke up with him, the people who tried to persuade me would always say that I owed him and why I refused him?

But no one knew.

The fire was set by Xu Manqi.

She was afraid of losing the person she liked.

She wanted to burn me to death.

Zhou Jihua knew about it, but he didn't say anything.

He cured my ears, so I owe him, I can't deny that.

So in this lifetime, I distanced myself from his help as soon as possible. I came to Country M, went to the hospital by myself, and cured my illness by myself.

We've been apart for so many years.

Why is this still the reason people use to persuade me?

Everyone says how good he is to me.

But no one has ever told me what he did.

It's as if no one has ever spoken.

Hearing my question, Chen Ting paused for a moment before slowly saying:

"After you broke up with him, Zhou Jihua fell into a long period of depression. Everyone in the industry knows about it. Then I don't know what happened, but he suddenly started talking about entering the business world. For this, he was even beaten into the hospital by his father many times."

"In the end, his family gave in, and he started to socialize tirelessly. He turned his company into the largest one in the north, and also expanded into overseas markets. He became a big shot in the business world."

"But after he broke up with you, he changed completely. He stayed away from women and still hasn't been with anyone till now. His only obsession is to go to the temple every year and light a lamp, probably for you. I don't know what he's thinking, even though you're still alive and well."

"He was afraid that your ear treatment would be interrupted, so he let me introduce you to Wen Lin. He still asks me about your news frequently. Every year on your birthday, he would come from afar just to see you and hang the amulet he prayed for on your door."

"Oh, by the way, he's been wearing the Buddhist beads you gave him until now."

...

I listened to Chen Ting's incessant voice in a daze.

For a moment, my mind was in chaos.

Why is Zhou Jihua's trajectory in this lifetime completely different from the previous one?

Instinctively, I asked:

"What about Xu Manqi? Didn't they get married?"

After I finished speaking, Chen Ting suddenly snorted.

Her eyes were filled with disdain.

"Her? She went to prison for several years. When you were trapped in the fire and Zhou Jihua saved you, it was her who set the fire. Zhou Jihua collected evidence and directly put her in prison."

"Their family business was suppressed and moved out of the northern city. It seems like they went to the south. After Xu Manqi was released from prison, her father married her off to an abusive man. She was almost beaten to death and now she's insane. She's in a mental institution now."

"Her father's investments failed, and he owes a lot of money and is hiding from debt everywhere. How could he have time to take care of her?"

"It's a case of reaping what she sowed. Who would have thought that she, who used to be so arrogant, would end up like this."
