After Wang Feifei took Quan Jiu away, seeing that it was lunchtime, she pulled Quan Jiu to a high-end seafood restaurant for lunch.
When ordering, Quan Jiu heard Wang Feifei order a bottle of red wine and stopped her, saying, "We drove here, and why drink wine in broad daylight."
"Oh, at this time, who cares about driving or daytime, just find a driver. It doesn't matter if it's day or night, treating sadness doesn't have a time limit." Then she insisted on ordering a bottle of red wine, and ordered a large table of Australian lobsters, king crabs, and various other seafood.
"Let's eat more today, to reward ourselves," Wang Feifei said with a sly smile. "And we don't have to pay, this is my brother's restaurant, it can be put on his tab."
Quan Jiu smiled speechlessly, "What sadness? I really don't care. Those people are just passersby to me, I don't even remember what they look like."
Wang Feifei pulled Quan Jiu, "But Jiang Nanchen, that scoundrel, wronged you."
Quan Jiu was even more helpless, "It has nothing to do with him. He just kindly invited us to his birthday banquet, and he didn't want it to end like that."
"But if he didn't handle this matter well, then it's his fault, and he made you suffer injustice for no reason, which is even more wrong. I always thought he was a good person, and I sincerely hoped you two could be together.
However, now that he has such a mother, and his mother has a group of snobbish friends, even if you are willing, I will not agree. I won't let you jump into a fire pit."
Quan Jiu poked Wang Feifei's head with a smile, "You're talking more and more nonsense. I admire Jiang Nanchen's professional ability, but that has nothing to do with romantic feelings."
Wang Feifei was a little surprised, "You don't have any feelings for him at all?"
Quan Jiu nodded affirmatively, "I only consider him a colleague."
"That's great." Wang Feifei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out her phone, looking excited. "Actually, I've wanted to introduce my brother to you for a long time, but Jiang Nanchen has always liked you, so I couldn't make a move.
He disappointed me so much today, and you don't have feelings for him either, so shouldn't I keep the good things within the family?"
Quan Jiu exclaimed with a laugh, "What? Your brother? Is he your biological brother?" Although she didn't care herself, for wealthy families, it was rare for them to accept single mothers.
"He's my biological brother. Although my brother is a bit cowardly, and he's not worthy of you, he's quite good at taking care of people. His boss is a devil, but my brother has worked for him for ten years without thinking of changing jobs."
Quan Jiu was about to refuse, but Wang Feifei had already opened the photo.
She glanced at it subconsciously, but upon seeing the person in the photo, her smile suddenly froze.
"How is it? My brother is actually quite handsome. He graduated from A University. Although he majored in secretarial studies, he is the secretary to the CEO of Chu Group. He is very capable and earns a good living. He has opened seven or eight restaurants, knows eight languages, and has eight-pack abs. His physique is great. Cowardly people are obedient, and he will be your housekeeper in the future."
Wang Feifei enthusiastically promoted her brother. After a while, she noticed Quan Jiu's lack of response. She looked up and saw that Quan Jiu's face was a little pale.
Wang Feifei hurriedly put down her phone in panic, "Jiu Jiu, what's wrong? Why is your face so bad?"
Quan Jiu stared blankly and let out a long sigh. After a while, she managed to squeeze out a smile, "It's nothing."
But Wang Feifei didn't believe it, "Impossible. You always like to use 'it's nothing' as your catchphrase, but with your complexion, how can it be 'nothing'?
Jiu Jiu, am I not the godmother of your child? Is there anything else you need to hide from me? Our Wang family, if nothing else, definitely doesn't lack money. If you have any difficulties, no matter how much, I can help you solve them."
Quan Jiu endured it for a moment, but tears still filled her eyes. She hugged Wang Feifei tightly and cried silently. After a long time, she choked out, "Feifei, I have no regrets in this life for knowing you."
When she cried, Wang Feifei couldn't help but cry too.
Wang Feifei hugged Quan Jiu tightly, "It's me who has no regrets. When my grandmother passed away, I felt like the whole world had collapsed. It was you who took care of me, cared for me, and comforted me like a mother every day, and I was able to emerge from the grief. Jiu Jiu, in my heart, you are like my own family."
The Wang family was wealthy. Although Wang Feifei had lived a life of luxury since childhood, Wang's father and mother were almost always away on business. Wang Feifei was raised by her grandmother, and her grandmother was more important to her than both her parents combined.
Quan Jiu wiped away her tears, "Because I was also raised by my grandmother, I know that kind of pain is no different from losing parents."
"That's why I had the honor of becoming the godmother of your child." Wang Feifei also smiled and wiped the tears from Quan Jiu's cheeks, "Jiu Jiu, I know you are a strong person, and you are used to carrying everything yourself, but that was in the past.
In the past, when you were alone, you had to carry everything yourself. But now it's different. No matter when or in what situation, I will always be by your side. You are not alone, you can rely on me completely."
Rely... Quan Jiu's heart ached. In her life, she had only relied on two people. One was her grandmother, who left her when she was fifteen.
The other was the person she loved most, but it only took two years to consume ten years of her love.
After that, she never dared to rely on anyone again. Because once you rely on someone, you face the pain of loss.
But facing Wang Feifei's sincerity, Quan Jiu's hardened heart was softened once again.
She wasn't that strong.
"Your brother's name is Wang Xiao, right?" Quan Jiu sighed softly and said slowly.
Wang Feifei was surprised, "Yes! How did you know? Do you know my brother?"
Quan Jiu gave a wry smile and thought of teasing her, "More than just knowing, your brother even knows my bra and underwear size."
"What?" Wang Feifei's eyes almost popped out. After a few seconds of thought, she sat up abruptly, "Could it be... Mimi and Tutu, are you and my brother..."
Quan Jiu chuckled, and her unpleasant mood eased a lot.
She pulled Wang Feifei to sit down, "No, it's your brother's boss."
Wang Feifei blinked, a little confused, "My brother's... boss?"
Quan Jiu wanted to smile to show she was fine, but after trying, she couldn't. The pain was like a thorn embedded in her heart, never removed. In fact, as time passed, the thorn had grown into her flesh, becoming a chronic illness, so that any slight movement would cause piercing pain.
"Seven years ago, Chu Rong and I were secretly married, but he... he married me only because I have a rare blood type and could save his lover."
Wang Feifei was even more stunned, "Feifei, are you telling me an eight o'clock soap opera?"
Quan Jiu chuckled, "Yes, it's more melodramatic than a TV show.
I donated blood to his lover for two years, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ran away. But after going abroad, I found out I was pregnant. I have no relatives in this world, so I selfishly gave birth to the child, at least I have a family."
Wang Feifei's mouth was agape. After a while, she hugged Quan Jiu again, "Jiu Jiu, you still have me, I am your family too."
Quan Jiu felt incredibly warm. How fortunate it was to have such a close friend in life.
"But, what's your situation with my brother?" Wang Feifei finally recovered from her shock.
Quan Jiu couldn't help but laugh, "It's nothing, don't misunderstand. At that time, according to Chu Rong's arrangement, he accompanied me on many shopping trips for two years, so he knew all my preferences and sizes."
So that's how it was. Wang Feifei was extremely disappointed, "It's over, I can't be your sister-in-law anymore. With my brother's cowardly nature, he wouldn't dare to marry his devil boss's ex-wife even if he were beaten to death."
