Eleven spoke calmly, and then she suddenly realized something.
Thinking about it, she couldnāt help but laugh.
She really was...
Always the same.
In the past, whether she was married or not was all the same; now, divorced or not, it was all the same.
The expression she showed never matched the reality.
"So, youāre saying... theyāre still going to get engaged in three days?"
Song Jiaqi thought she had assumed the engagement ceremony had already been quietly called off!
"Yes," Eleven smiled.
Song Jiaqi hesitated.
You can randomly eat food, but you canāt just say anything. Some words were on the tip of Song Jiaqiās tongue, but she swallowed them back down.
Eleven probably guessed what she was thinking and said with a low chuckle, "Are you worried that now, with us unable to part so easily, once he and Shang Muxue get engaged, Iāll immediately extricate myself from this affection, and it will distress me? I might even go from being the wife to the third party, scorned by everyone, right?"
What she said was indeed what Song Jiaqi was thinking.
Song Jiaqi nodded and said, "There are many people on Weibo scolding you without knowing the situation, and the incident from five years ago has also been exposed. Itās already causing a big stir. If now it comes out that you... Iām afraid youāll get hurt."
Before Eleven could speak, Song Jiaqi continued, "Really, I also think Mr. Gu is very nice, very gentle. Although I still canāt understand why youād divorce with such a good relationship, if he decides to get engaged to another woman, you better not get mixed up in that mess... What do you think?"
"I understand," Eleven nodded, "There are some things I canāt tell you right now, maybe later, if thereās a chance. Donāt worry about me, Iām fine. Iāve been through gunfire and bullets, this is nothing."
"Okay!"
Song Jiaqi decided to trust her.
Qianxun didnāt look like someone who would become a mistress. If she couldnāt extricate herself now, there must be a reason she couldnāt leave, and she must have some distress she couldnāt yet speak of.
How could it look like they werenāt normally divorced?
Otherwise, how could such a seemingly better-than-new marriage have changed so abruptly?
Song Jiaqiās imagination went wild, speculating about conspiracies, traps, forced situations...?
"Forget about me, Jia Qi, I want to talk about you."
"Me?" Song Jiaqi gave a perfunctory laugh and said, "What could I possibly have to talk about?"
"You drank so much yesterday, donāt pretend nothingās wrong. Who would drown themselves in alcohol for no reason? What about your health?"
"I really am fine..."
"Just the two of us are here, at most thereās Aunt Fang, even if Aunt Fang knows she wonāt tell anyone, I promise."
Aunt Fang wasnāt the gossipy type. She wouldnāt say what she shouldnāt say. Otherwise, their relationship would have been exposed long ago.
So Eleven had a lot of trust in Aunt Fang.
"Donāt want to talk? On the ninth, my husband said he saw you go to the West City Hotel."
Song Jiaqiās entire body stiffened.
"It wasnāt for sightseeing, was it?"
Because Eleven had experienced certain things herself, thatās why she thought something was so off.
Song Jiaqi, seeing there was no point in hiding it, nodded, "I did go..."
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to open up and told the whole story of what happened that night, as much as she could remember.
Eleven suddenly felt a chill all over.
