Chapter 1142 - 1139: I’m Relieved You’re Having a Hard Time 5

Zhou Ting, truly in Canada. And with a bodyguard, still indomitable even in decline.

Yan Xixi’s heart skipped: Zhou Ting is in Canada, so what is Huang Xiaojue doing there?

For avenging his mother?

She became anxious: "Are you sure it’s Zhou Ting?"

"Basically, we can confirm it’s her. Zhou Ting is a smart woman, she must have prepared early and transferred a lot of assets. Moreover, being a woman, Uncle Zhang, for various reasons, hasn’t pursued her relentlessly... If the rumors are correct, she should have attached herself to the eldest son of a powerful family who emigrated long ago..."

Yan Xixi was shocked.

She knew this "eldest son."

He is an offspring of a top-level family. He left early, left quickly, reportedly now as wealthy as a nation, living more comfortably than an Oil King. Although he is old and very ugly, he has a long history of affairs, rumored to have more lovers than his ten fingers could count.

If Zhou Ting has latched onto him, although she won’t be able to stir up trouble again, in the second half of her life, no one would dare touch her.

"Then isn’t Huang Xiaojue in great danger?"

"Not necessarily dangerous. But I always find Cousin Huang’s behavior bizarre. The time he got injured, I’m sure it wasn’t Zhou Ting’s doing, maybe he holds secrets we cannot imagine, or maybe he has his own plans, after all, how could Huang’s mother die in vain?"

Huang Xiaojue is extremely filial to his mother, with her dying so tragically, how could he let it go?

No wonder I haven’t been able to find him in these past months, from all over, because he simply couldn’t settle down for a peaceful life in Peach Blossom Land with a woman before avenging his mother’s death.

Even if it’s because of Yan Xixi, it’s not possible.

Yan Xixi felt very melancholic, if it were before, she would feel utterly wronged. But after going through so much, she understood that love isn’t the only thing in life, many people would give up love at critical moments.

Just like when her mother passed away, didn’t she make the same choice?

Looking back, there’s simply no chance for love anymore.

Upon realizing this, she felt at peace.

"Oh, last month I returned to the country to visit family and took care of some things..."

Yan Xixi just listened.

As a Cambridge Ph.D., naturally, she received countless offers in her home country, if she goes back, a brilliant future awaits.

"Li Zhen, if you return, your development may be even better."

Li Zhen smiled: "After you had your incident, I considered going back too, staying here seems pointless. But after so many things happening, I realized I am not accustomed to life back home, mainly because I don’t want to be like them..."

Whether it’s Huang Xiaojue or Wan Donglin, sure, they were extremely successful at one time. But, you could say, not everyone in the world is willing to sacrifice everything for wealth and power.

"I’d rather stay abroad where relationships are much simpler. I may not earn as much money, and never reach their heights, but I feel that what I have now is already very good..."

A thriving career, a stable middle-class elite, a happy mood, isn’t this far better than the palace struggles filled with scheming and conflict?

Li Zhen no longer plans to return.

"My father has three years left before retirement, after which, they will come out to enjoy their later years."

Finally, he couldn’t hold back, "Actually, last time I went back, I met Wan Donglin..."

Yan Xixi remained silent.
