This conversation made my ears feel like they were developing calluses, so I waved my hand and said, "Alright, I'm already your wife now, and I'm Xiao Zhe's mother. Didn't Su Qian just get engaged recently? There's no way I could ever be with him, and you know I don't love him."
Xiao Minxing remained silent, looking at me with an inscrutable expression for a moment before saying, "Haven't you thought about going to see Mina with him?"
I sighed helplessly, glanced at him sideways, and said, "I thought about it, but you keep piling up all these tasks on me because you're worried I'll be idle. I'm so busy I can't even find time to see her. Besides, even if I could make time, would you let me go?"
Xiao Minxing nodded, clearly satisfied with my response, and softly replied, "It's good that you have self-awareness."
All I could do was roll my eyes at him.
The next morning when I called Su Qian, his Mobile Phone was off; he was probably already on the plane.
Honestly, I still couldn't let go of Mina, but right now I really couldn't free myself from my responsibilities and could only patiently wait for Su Qian's news.
Fortunately, he returned quickly; two days later he was already back in Haicheng and called me to say we could meet.
Since our last private meeting led to an argument with Xiao Minxing, which didn't cause any major fallout but still left me uneasy, I didn't want such misunderstandings to happen again. So I called Xiao Minxing to come along.
To my surprise, he said, "You go ahead; I've got things to take care of here. Just send me a recording afterward."
I replied directly, "Are you out of your mind? If you want to hear it, come yourself. If not, forget about the recording."
Xiao Minxing threatened me from the other end of the line, but through the phone line, I wasn't scared of him at all. I couldn't even be bothered to listen anymore and hung up.
Su Qian still came to where I worked and immediately handed me a bag saying, "Mina asked me to bring this for you."
Inside was a set of this year's new designer clothes that seemed to be from a limited edition collection. A few days ago when I was browsing fashion websites, I had seen it; there were so many comments that I had looked at it a bit longer. I never expected to actually have it in my hands now.
"Is Mina okay? Has she become so extravagant? Giving such expensive clothes as a gift?" I asked Su Qian.
He nodded solemnly and said, "Believe it or not, it's really extravagant. For her, this outfit will be one-time use; she can wear it once and throw it away."
"Why?"
"Because there's too much money to spend, and if I wear it twice, wouldn't that mean there are still many designer pieces I won't get a chance to wear?"
I looked at Su Qian, who didn't seem to be joking, but it was hard to imagine Mina's current situation.
However, it seemed like he was intent on selling a coffin. Just as I set down the clothes Mina had given me, he took out a box and handed it to me, saying, "This is a gift for you."
Before I could say anything, he quickly added, "I know Xiao Minxing's attitude, so this is given with his consent."
Hearing this made me even more suspicious. Would Xiao Minxing really agree to this? More importantly, would Su Qian discuss such matters with him beforehand?
But since he had already said it and it was something he had brought back from outside with difficulty, refusing felt a bit ungrateful, so I accepted it.
It was a bracelet that looked simple, but judging by the quality of the crystals on it, it shouldn't be cheap.
Putting the two items together made me feel strange; I even thought about the necklace he had given me before, which could be said to be the catalyst for my divorce from Xiao Minxing.
Many times afterward, I wondered if he hadn't discovered Su Qian's gift, if he hadn't gotten sick from anger, if I hadn't gotten pregnant and wanted to keep Xiao Zhe so badly, we might not have reached the point of divorce.
Although we were still together now and Xiao Minxing said it was intentional on his part, that shocking incident was still hard to revisit.
Su Qian wasn't in a hurry to speak; he sat leisurely sipping coffee until I snapped back to reality and asked him.
He finally spoke up: "She's doing well. She just arrived there and found it hard to accept what happened with Long Wen's family. You know Mina can be a bit blunt about these things; she values feelings too much and often overlooks other matters."
Su Qian paused for a moment and continued: "Actually, Longwen didn't mean to hide things from her; he just didn't clarify everything proactively. From my perspective, he probably wanted to see Mina's attitude. After all, he's from an aristocratic family; it's understandable for him to be a bit cautious. What if there's a woman who's after his money?"
"Nonsense! Mina would go after his money? Is he crazy?" I couldn't hold back at all.
Mina was doing very well in Haicheng. Honestly, even if she never got married in her life, with her current capabilities, she could live happily until old age without any problem. She didn't need anyone to support her; she could live freely.
If Longwen were really that petty and worried that Mina would go after his money, I actually hoped he wouldn't marry her.
However, Su Qian listened to my words without commenting and softly said, "Even if he isn't worried himself, doesn't his family think that way? Besides, aristocratic families often have their own ideas about social status."
I looked up at Su Qian and immediately realized the key point in his words.
Yes, everything before was fake; social status was what truly mattered. Although Mina seemed great in our eyes, to someone from a background like Longwen's, she was probably just seen as a poor worker.
"Is Mina feeling upset over there?" This was the question that came to my mind.
Su Qian thought for a moment before saying, "Not really. She seems fine to me, and I also ran into Longwen. From what he said, his family hasn't made things difficult for Mina; it's just that she can't get over that hurdle in her heart."
"What a joke! Who can get over that? It's clearly bullying. Mina went to a foreign land to pursue true love, but instead, she faces so much doubt from them. Anyone would have psychological scars from that, right?"
"Are you the same?" Su Qian asked.
I looked up and saw him staring intently at me.
His expression was calm, but there were clearly some swirling emotions hidden in his eyes, which made me feel a bit flustered. I followed up with, "What do you mean?"
Su Qian didn't shy away and said directly, "When you married Xiao Minxing, your situation wasn't much better than Mina's now. Did you care about what others or his family said?"
At that time, I didn't seem to care. I was filled with joy at finding my old love; marrying him felt like I was on top of the world, so I didn't pay attention to others.
But Mina is different. She hasn't known Longwen for long, and she's had several relationships; her experiences are not the same as mine.
