Chapter 759: Returning to One’s Ancestral Roots (15)_1
Fortunately, the exam started quickly and Qi Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finding an excuse to walk away.
He really hadn’t expected that Ruan Jiaojiao and her group would be from the Ruan Family. His feelings about Shu Jiao were complex, because, in fact, he had met her even earlier than Jianguo, but back then Shu Jiao’s status was extraordinarily different, and under such circumstances, even if he had feelings for her, he wouldn’t dare to express them.
Later, both of them got married to different people; he took Huang Li as his wife and was promoted before she was.
Huang Li probably sensed his past affections and made a big fuss about it, and she only stopped after he used his influence to get her promoted along with him, on the pretense that he had taken Shu Jiao’s opportunity.
Back then, how could he have known that one day there would be vindication for those upheavals?
If he had known...
Qi Lian sighed, but it was too late for regrets. He looked up and saw the couple standing there, talking about something and appearing somewhat intimate, and he just felt that she was wronged by marrying such a useless man.
Right before the end of the exam, Huang Li hurried over, and when she saw Shu Jiao standing outside the principal’s office, she was stunned.
Over a decade had passed and she didn’t expect this woman to look even better than when they had worked together; unlike her, Huang Li had lost her figure after having two children.
Thinking of Qi Lian’s past thoughts about this woman made her very wary of Shu Jiao. The moment she saw her, she instinctively looked at her own husband, her eyes filled with vigilance as if Shu Jiao might come over and steal him away.
