Mu Xiaoxiao looked stunned for a moment.

Watching her, Han Qiqing said, "If you don"t want to hear it, then I won"t say it."

Mu Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together and tugged her lips into a smile. "Tell me then."

"It was s.h.i.+jun who discovered it. It turned out that the guy who sits in front of you had a family situation…"

As Mu Xiaoxiao listened, it was in fact the same as what Yu Zhe had told her yesterday, but Qiqing talked about it in greater detail, including how Yu Zhe was in a difficult position in the Yu family.

Han Qiqing sighed and said, "Though outsiders see how well-off rich kids are, they all have their burdens to bear."

Wealthy families, frankly speaking, were places where people would fight over self-interest.

The mutual deception in wealthy families depicted in TV dramas were only the tip of the iceberg.

Mu Xiaoxiao said with a blank expression, "Do you mean that I should forgive him?"

Han Qiqing shook her head. "Of course not! If you want to forgive him, that is your own decision. I won"t interfere."

Mu Xiaoxiao said firmly, "Betrayal cannot be forgiven."

Thus, she wouldn"t forgive him.

Seeing the look on her face, Han Qiqing"s heart jolted and became tense for a moment.

"Xiaoxiao… If a particularly good friend betrayed you because of some secret troubles, would you also… feel the same way?"

Mu Xiaoxiao looked into her eyes and said, "From the moment he chose to betray me, he already didn"t regard me as a friend. Why should I even consider his friends.h.i.+p?"

Relations.h.i.+ps were already fractured the moment betrayal happened.

It was an answer that was hard to rebut against.

Words were stuck in her throat as Han Qiqing nodded and said, "Yeah… you"re right…"

She just didn"t expect Xiaoxiao to be so resolute.

Perhaps it was because there were no gray zones in Xiaoxiao"s world; her world was black and white.

Han Qiqing sighed and said, "Xiaoxiao, then you should stop being sad since Yu Zhe chose his family over you."

At least in the end, in order to save Xiaoxiao, he was willing to give up his life, which indicated that Xiaoxiao was a very important person to him.

Mu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment.

Hearing what Han Qiqing had said, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have felt an instant relief.

Yeah, Yu Zhe only chose to protect his family, although he did it in a way that hurt his friend.

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt relaxed as the knot in her heart seemed to have disappeared.

She smiled and said to Qiqing, "Yeah, I won"t be sad anymore."

Han Qiqing"s eyes rolled craftily, and she said, "Let"s go out for a walk? We"ll get depressed staying here!"

"Alright!"

Mu Xiaoxiao agreed instantly without thinking.

The next second, her little face drooped, and she shook her head and said, "No, I can"t. I promised Jie that I wouldn"t wander around again. If I go anywhere, he must be there to accompany me."

Han Qiqing tut-tutted, but she didn"t dare to say that the Great Master Yin was acting too tense. After all, it was normal for Yin Shaojie to be worried for Xiaoxiao after this incident.

She said to Xiaoxiao, "What should we do? I feel so bored, and I don"t want to go to cla.s.s! Didn"t we say that we would go camping the last time? The weather is getting colder now. If you don"t go now, it"d be winter soon!"

"Let"s go camping then."

"Really?" Han Qiqing was about to rejoice when she realized Xiaoxiao was not the one who said that.

The two girls turned their heads at the same time and saw Yin Shaojie leaning das.h.i.+ngly against the wall beside the door and wearing a charming smile.
