After Vanessa left, Winnie put on a bitter smile and looked at Brian.
"Do not care about what Vanessa has said, just do whatever you want to do and you don’t need to care
what I think. Just be yourself."
Winnie’s voice low was very low, it seemed like she was too tired to say any more words.
"Winwin where have you been, I am worried about you."
Brian turned around and put his hands on Winnie's shoulders, wearing a sad face.
"Nothing. I just walk around for some distractions. You go back, I'm tired and want to go home for a
rest."
Winnie was about to leave, but was pulled by Brian. Looking at such a depressed Winnie, how could he
feel relieved and let her go alone.
"Winwin, I know you are tired. But we need to talk now."
As he said, Brian pulled Winnie straight to the car, at least there were no one around in the car, and
she could calm herself down.
Both of them sat in the back. Brian held Winnie's hands on his own hands, but got no response from
Winnie.
"Winwin, let’s first talk about your family, your aunt and Vanessa are aware of our relationship, right?
They all are disappointed in me because I am not good enough for you, and always let you be hurt by
others. This is also why your aunt does not agree that we are together, and don’t want to see me,
right?"
"Everyone in my family knows about our relationship. Vanessa should be disappointed in you now, but
my aunt has been against me and you being together from the very beginning. She has always said
that once I marry to you, I will have a hard life because we are of different classes."
Her family did know their relationship, but only partly, there were many sad things she did not tell them.
If she told them all, her aunt must have long taken her away from him.
Winnie continued to say.
"Brian, you don't have to care about all this. Just remember one sentence, you don’t have to change for
anyone."
Winnie knew in her heart that in Brian's heart, she was not as important as he said. He had never
changed himself because of her, nor had he done anything for her, nor had she seen any results from
his efforts.
All of these were probably a sign that they were destined to meet but not fated to be together, so
Winnie didn’t expect to have a happy ending with Brian.
"How can I not care, it is because I am not doing enough for you that makes me let your family down. If
I do a good job in everything, there won’t be a problem, nor will your aunt against us being together.
Winwin... I am sorry."
Brian did apologize to Winnie, which was the least thing she wanted to hear. He directly hugged Winnie
into his arms, trying to appease Winnie, but actually it was himself who was appeased.
As Winnie was in his arms, he felt very secured and relieved. It was only at this moment that he felt he
was the happiest.
"Why are you saying sorry to me? You know I do not like to hear your apology. But you keep
apologizing to me, are you trying to offend me like those people saying mean words on the Internet?"
Winnie tried to calm herself as much as possible and said to Brian in a joking tone.
She would never cause trouble to anyone again, never show her pain again, and never complain to
anyone again. Her unconscious behavior did make herself comfortable, but it brought trouble to others.
That was the last thing she wanted.
"It's because I really feel sorry for you so I'm saying this, especially because I shouldn't have kept the
matter of my blind date with Emily from you."
Brian felt that Winnie was about to conceal her feeling again, and she wasn’t quite right now. It was
time for her to be angry, to have a big fight with him, but not be silent.
"You guys are doing it for my own good, so don't feel sorry. It does feel bad to be cheated by all of you,
but it is a white lie that I can understand. I... feel sorry that I have inconvenienced all of you and I am
the one who should say sorry."
"I have owed so many people for so many years and finally paid them back. Now all of a sudden there
are so many more, it makes me a little wary. It's too tiring to pay back favors, I'm exhausted now."
"You guys... "
Winnie stopped here, swallowing back all the words of complaint into her stomach. Although they had
brought her a burden, and made her feel guilty, but their starting point was for her good, how could she
complain about them.
Winnie released herself from Brian's embrace, feeling the warmth disappearing all of a sudden. But she
had to do it, had to warm herself on her own.
"I don't blame you and Emily for your blind date, I'll apologize to Emily, after all, she was hurt by Leo as
well, and it is all because of me, so I must apologize to her."
"As for the future, it is your own business that how the relationship between you and her is going. I just
hope that no one and nothing will get me involved."
Winnie knew it was indeed selfish for her to say these at this moment, but if she didn't say them, they
would still do things without her knowledge in the future. She would rather solve things openly and
honestly, and face them bravely, rather than being hidden from like a fool. After all, nothing could be
hidden for a lifetime, and the later you knew, the deeper you got hurt.
"Winwin, Emily and I are impossible to be together. We are just helping each other out. After she broke
up with Leo, her parents have been arranging for her to go on a blind date, and we both have our own
hardships, and have to cooperate with each other."
Brian hurriedly explained, as for Winnie's sadness, he did not know how to comfort her.
They did this out of the goodness for her, but if they had told her at the beginning, Winnie could not
have carried such a big burden in her heart now.
She had gone through too much, so she had to be cautious and careful about everything. Now so
many people were paying too much for her, she must feel very pressured.
"You don't need to explain this to me, I believe you have no feeling for her. I just want to tell you that
don’t do anything more for me. If the chairman asks you to get married, then you get married, asks you
to go on a blind date, then do it, don't disobey him."
"Brian, like my aunt said, I don't deserve your rich family, and being with you will make you lose face. I
have a million reasons for wanting to be with you, but I don’t have the right identity that would allow me
to be with you."
What Winnie said was the gap that could not be closed between them.
Wendy was the right girl, so as Emily, only she couldn’t meet the requirements that Felix made, no
matter how hard she tried to do.
So she could only realize the difficulty and retreat, but this was indeed the first time in her life that she
knew the difficulty and chose to give up the man she loved so much.
"Winwin, you can't say that. I have never looked down on you. If I treat you the same as my grandfather
does, disliking you as you have no status, then at the beginning I would not be with you. Winwin, do not
give up on me, but work with me, OK? In the future regardless of... "
"Do not talk about our future with me, and do not give me any promises. You should know that the
greater the hope the greater the disappointment. And if there is no hope, there is no disappointment
and no sadness."
Winnie had no expectations for Brian, even Vanessa felt disappointed on Brian. There was no
expectation left.
"Let's just leave it like this and go as far as we can. You are not kept in the middle, and I will not be
burdened."
Winnie finished her words, leaving no opportunity for Brian to keep her, and directly opened the door
and left.
She owed so many people and was too tired. She wanted to find a place where no one knew her so
that she could relax herself and start a new life.
Brian did not went after her, knowing that Winnie could not listen to him at this moment. But the last
words Winnie said made him worry.
She was so exhausted and wanted to give up now. She would leave him after so many times of
disappointments. But how about him, should he let her go or continue. But he felt his heart was about
to break only thinking of letting go of her hands!
The first thing Winnie did after coming home was to call Emily, but her phone was switched off. She
could only leave a message to Emily.
"Call me back when you have time, and come back earlier if possible."
The next day.
Winnie went to work as usual, and at noon she took time to go to Leo's company.
Today she came over not to talk about business, just wanted to ask Leo how did he feel to her. If he still
had feelings for her, Winnie must quit her job and keep her distance from him.
"Winwin, are you disappointed in me because of what I have done? Actually, at that time, I did it on
impulse, not thinking too much. I just wanted to help you, but you always refused my help and always
distanced yourself from me, so that's why I came up with this idea."
Without waiting for Winnie to say anything, Leo knew the intention of Winnie to come here.
He took the initiative to admit his mistake and wanted to earn Winnie's forgiveness.
Yesterday, Winnie left without saying anything, but it was precisely her silent reaction that made people
worry the most. Everyone thought Winnie should lose her temper, should fight with everyone.
But she surprised everyone and did not say anything. The more Winnie acted like this, the more
worried everyone was.
"Leo, I don't blame you for doing this, and I don't blame anyone. You all did this for the goodness of me,
if I can not understand this, I really do not deserve to be your friend."
After knowing this matter, Winnie did feel uncomfortable in her heart, but she did not hate them or
blame them, she just couldn’t bear their big care for her.
"Leo, I come here today to confirm one thing with you. I want to know what kind of feelings you have for
me now?"
"Friend? Confidant? Or you want to be my male best friend for life."
Leo was very decisive and gave Winnie his answer directly. Even he himself did not expect him to say
he didn’t love her anymore.
"Are you sure? You are not lying to me?"
Winnie asked Leo surprisingly.
"I am very sure."
Leo answered her much more certainly, and Winnie felt very relieved after hearing these. He felt that
the only woman in his heart at this moment was Emily.
"Winwin, this time I am not lying to you. I have fallen in love with Emily during the time of guarding you,
and I have started to pursue her. It's just that she couldn't believe me and thinks I am lying to her, and
keeps refusing to accept me."
Looking at Leo's incomparably sincere look, and the uncontrollable fondness for Emily in his eyes.
Winnie believed Leo.
"Leo you must not lie to me, you must not hurt another girl for me. I can trust you once more. If you are
lying to me, we can't be friends anymore."
Winnie finally felt free at this moment.
"Don't worry, I won't lie to you."
Leo assured himself again and again, if he knew that it would be so easy to tell her everything so
clearly, why would he have hidden it from her for so long.
"Leo you must not lie to me, you must not hurt another girl for me. | can trust you once more. If you are
lying to me, we can't be friends anymore."
Winnie finally felt free at this moment.
"Don't worry, | won't lie to you."
Leo assured himself again and again, if he knew that it would be so easy to tell her everything so
clearly, why would he have hidden it from her for so long.
