The Queen Mother's murderous intention to kill Xu Shu was due to her possession of power. Xu Shu and the existence of the Zheng family behind her made the Queen Mother feel that it threatened the status of the Fu family, so she wanted to eliminate Xu Shu and get over it. Since that's the case, he wanted to give the Fu family what he wanted.

Zhou Jin was silent for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his hand, "Wine!"

"Isn't it that I don't drown my sorrows with wine?" Zhuang Li jokingly, but he still gave the wine jar to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin took a sip of wine and suddenly lowered his head, "You know her very well..."

"I have known her for seven years, and time will let you know everything!"

"Seven years... I have known her for four years!" But it's only four years, and it's still not as good as seven years, so he can't compare to Zhuang Li, right?

"Yes! I have known her for a longer time, but in the end she chose you!" Zhuang Li expressed his feelings for Xu Shu without any concealment, and the melancholy and loss in his tone could not be dissolved.

Zhou Jin was not surprised at all. He had known Zhuang Li's thoughts about Xu Shu for a long time, but he could only know them. "It was not her who chose me, but I forced her to choose me!"

Zhou Jin had a bitter smile on his lips. He knew since he was a child that he had to get what he wanted by himself. He did the same to Xu Shu, "She doesn't like to owe others, so I cured her eyes and let her owe me what she owes me so she won't leave me..."

But the one who owe someone will pay it off one day. After paying off what he owe him, Xu Shu actually chose to stay away, calm as if the past few years were just an illusion for him, and Zhou Jin felt that it was particularly traumatized.

"No! She had already made a choice before that. Three years ago, on her way to see her off, she refused, without hesitation, and even had a premeditated refusal! She had no choice but to choose you!"

Zhuang Li's words were somewhat of a comfort to Zhou Jin, but it was useless. No matter what Xu Shu thought in her heart at the beginning, Xu Shu's attitude is now obvious. Xu Shu wanted to leave, but she didn't want him to ask him to "get out" because she really wanted him to "get out" and stay away. He deceived himself and how long can the peace last?

"So what? Not long after, I will be far inferior to you in her heart!" Since Xu Shu wanted to leave him, it means she had decided to let go, even if she had him in her heart at this moment!

He knew the other party’s intentions, but he couldn’t force the other party to admit it. This helpless feeling made Zhou Jin feel depressed.

"Do you know why Xu Shu is so cold to you?"

Zhou Jin nodded, "She wants to draw a clear line with me..." Every time she admits this, Zhou Jin's heart feels as uncomfortable as a knife. She clearly has him in her heart, but she doesn't want to be with him.

"Then do you know why she obviously has feelings for you, but she still wants to draw a clear line with you?"

Zhou Jin shook his head, "If I knew, I wouldn't have been sitting here and drinking!"

Although Xu Shu tried hard to use the Queen Mother as an excuse, Zhou Jin knew that it was not. The Queen Mother's obstruction could not shake Xu Shu's will. She had other reasons!

"Maybe I'm not good to her enough! I'm always not by her side when she needs me, but she is in danger because of me! She has suffered so much to just want to live well, but being with me, waiting for her will always be suffering!"

Zhuang Li shook his head seriously, "It's not like this! Xu Shu is never afraid of suffering. The suffering she has suffered is far beyond our imagination! She still has reservations about you because you don't believe her wholeheartedly!"

"I believe her!" Zhou Jin retorted, "I will tell her everything about me, as long as she wants to know!" Because of this incident, he had a rift with Xu Shu several times, so Zhou Jin has no reservations about Xu Shu now.

Zhuang Li shook his head, "Do you know why Xu Shu believes in me? Because I believe her! I believe in every word she says. Even though I know that she is telling a lie, I will still believe it. Can you do it? Can you treat her lies as true?"

Zhou Jin hesitated for a moment. Can he do it? Can he take Xu Shu seriously what he clearly deceived him?

It was this moment of hesitation that made Xu Shu always feel alienated from Zhou Jin, which made Xu Shu unwilling to hand over her heart to Zhou Jin. Zhuang Li saw it clearly.

"If you want her to believe in you, you must believe her first! Believe in her unconditional and unprincipled!"

"So I'm not doing well enough..." Zhou Jin felt a little hurt. He was already doing his best to make the most changes, but he still couldn't meet Xu Shu's requirements. Is he too incompetent?

"Don't blame her. She paid too much of a heavy price because of her credibility, so she was cautious and didn't want to be hurt anymore!" It was the Xu family who made Xu Shu look like now. Even though the Xu family no longer poses any threat to Xu Shu, the pain that the Xu family once put on Xu Shu will accompany Xu Shu for the rest of her life. Xu Shu's broken heart finally healed, and she will not let anyone hurt her again.

"I don't blame her, why would I blame her?" He felt sorry for her and how could he bear to blame her? She obviously had feelings for herself, but she wanted to reject herself thousands of miles away. She felt sad! He obviously wanted to be nice to her, but in the end he still made her sad. They were obviously concerned about each other, but tortured each other here. Zhou Jin took a big sip of wine helplessly and ashamed.

"Actually, sometimes I am really jealous of you. Even if you get her by means, her feelings for you are true..." Zhuang Li took out a jar of wine from somewhere, but he just opened it and smelled the fragrance of the wine, and did not drink it. He used to be a person who was addicted to alcohol, but Xu Shu didn't drink alcohol. At some point, he gradually stopped drinking.

"I would rather be open to her from the beginning..." If they had fewer twists and turns before, and if the starting point between them was not a transaction, then will their relationship be closer now?
