Chapter 398
"No, no way?" Su Lu cautiously glanced at Su Zhe.
Su Zhe noticed her look and felt both amused and annoyed, "Why can’t it be? Do you think Qiao Li has been slaving away for my company all these years as if he’s doing charity work? Isn’t it because he’s interested in you? After he thoroughly negotiated with you, didn’t he just throw in the towel and quit?"
Su Lu frowned upon hearing this and after thinking it over, she shook her head, "That can’t be. Brother Qiao isn’t that kind of person."
Su Zhe stopped and quietly looked at Su Lu for a few seconds before raising his eyebrows and laughing, "At least you’ve got some conscience. Qiao Li hasn’t cared for you in vain. Of course, he’s not that kind of person. It’s just hard to see him suffering from heartache and yet still struggling with work every day. I gave him a long vacation and signed him up for a round-the-world trip so he could have a change of heart."
Su Zhe’s heart was also made of flesh. Caring for his sister was an instinct as a brother.
But Qiao Li was an old friend of so many years, and of course, Su Zhe couldn’t bear it either.
Especially knowing Qiao Li’s stubborn nature, it was honestly not easy watching an old friend’s youth crash headlong into a dead-end path called Su Lu without turning back.
And Su Zhe could see clearly that if Qiao Li continued to stay here, working all day and probably still indulging in his sorrow, it would only prolong his misery.
It might be better for him to see the world, relax, take in different views, slow down the pace, enjoy traveling, and reflect on his life during the journey. He could meet different people, even if they were just passersby during his travels, and experience various emotions.
Who knows, he might even encounter something completely different.
