Falling for the Best Man, A Second Chance at Love - Chapter 4

I had just opened the ride-hailing app.

He stubbed out his cigarette, then looked up at me with a lazy posture and said,

“Shall we have a breakup dinner together?”

I opened my mouth, wanting to refuse.

But there was a hint of sincerity in his eyes:

“It’s been so many years. Let’s have one last meal together.”

We hadn’t eaten together for half a year before this.

The last time was at that Cantonese restaurant, celebrating when we got our marriage certificate.

Just like back then, he poured me a cup of Pu’er tea and asked in a calm voice,

“Do you want to know why it was her?”

I looked up and quietly waited for him to speak.

He sighed lightly, and now, finally, he confessed everything without reservation:

“Remember when our company was having trouble with cash flow?

At that time, you only knew how to stay at home as a rich lady. It was her who accompanied me everywhere, begging for investments.

Countless drinking parties every day, endless people to plead with, bowing my head lower than ever before.

That was the hardest time of my life, and she was the one who got me through it.

A woman who risked everything drinking baijiu with me at the table, even arranging all the eating and entertainment for those bosses on my behalf.

Later, we finally received an investment, and only then did we survive.

Shen Xian, I don’t want to let you down, but even more so, I can’t let her down.”

After graduation, I started a business with him.

We caught the wave of a tea beverage company’s youth transformation.

Our new tea beverage venture flourished, getting better and better.

Later, Ye Kelin happened to resign because of workplace sexual harassment.

I simply let her join the company to help me, so she wouldn’t have to put up with outsiders anymore.

Looking back now, I overestimated our years of friendship-and underestimated human nature.

After hearing his words, I silently took a sip of tea.

I couldn’t help but find it funny.

The business world is like a battlefield.

If you don’t have enough commercial value, how could anyone possibly throw their money at you for no reason?
