Chapter 31
Shen Chuchu was very familiar with this card because it was actually hers .
When Han Xingyan helped her terminate the contract with Meijia . Shen Chuchu was very grateful towards him . As repayment, Shen Chuchu gave him a bank card containing one million yuan .
Han Xingyan thought back to the card’s history and felt an unfamiliar emotion surged within his heart .
“This is the exact question I wanted to ask you . Miss Shen, what do you mean by this?”
Shen Chuchu asked with confusion, “Did CEO Han not see the letter in the envelope? It was naturally to thank CEO Han . Although I don’t have much money and can only do so much . I know this is incomparable to the assistance you provided so please don’t turn it down . ”
Han Xingyan looked at Shen Chuchu’s sincere expression and knew that those words were spoken straight from the heart . However, sometimes the more sincere the words were, the harder it was to accept .
“No need, I already said it was nothing . Miss Shen shouldn’t be so polite . ”
Shen Chuchu frowned when she saw that Han Xingyan had no intentions to take the card so she picked it up and placed it in front of him .
“CEO Han, I hope you will take it or my conscience won’t be clear . You’ve helped me so much but I can’t do anything for you so take this little token of mine . If I have more in the future, I will definitely repay you double the amount . ”
Han Xingyan looked at the card on the table then glanced down at the hand holding the card . That pair of hands was very clean and the nails were round and plump without any nail polish on them . As he gazed, his thoughts wandered to that night .
After a few seconds, he suddenly felt himself losing concentration and coughed quietly then looked around .
Shen Chuchu looked at Han Xinyan’s expression and put the card down then retracted her hands .
“Have you faced any difficulties with the new company?” Han Xingyan changed the conversation topic awkwardly .
Shen Chuchu thought about Diandi Media and smiled, “No, the company is really good . Executive Chen is very responsible . ”
Han Xinyan nodded, “That’s good . ”
Afterwards, Han Xinyan looked at the time and noticed he had already been away for half an hour . It would be unreasonable if he did not return now .
Shen Chuchu noticed Han Xinyan’s movement and immediately said, “CEO Han, you can leave if you are busy . ”
Han Xinyan nodded, “Yes, okay . Goodbye Miss Shen .
“Goodbye . ”
Han Xinyan stood up to leave but then turned around as if he had forgotten something . He reached towards the card on the table, looked at it and flashed a rare smile at Shen Chuchu .
Afterwards, he glanced down at Shen Chuchu’s left wrist and said, “Miss Shen remember to apply on some medicine . ”
With Han Xinyan’s reminder, Shen Chuchu also looked down at her red wrist .
“Yes, thank you for the reminder, CEO Han . ”
Once Han Xinyan departed . Shen Chuchu softly moved her wrist and wondered again why Cheng Xun acted so strange and crazy . After a while, Shen Chuchu also left the cafe .

What Shen Chuchu did not know was that her bank card almost sparked a family conflict .
The next night, Shen Chuchu received a message from Wang Jing .
Wang Jing: Chuchu, thank you . Do you have time tomorrow? Let’s go for a chat .
When Shen Chuchu saw Wang Jing’s message, she knew what it was about . If she had a photo of Wang Jing, she would have looked into Wang Jing’s marriage system to see if anything had changed .
Although her current daily assignment was to attend dance classes at the company, she could still free up some time for this . Moreover, she has more or less finished practising the dance and the new drama was about to start shooting .
The next day in the afternoon, Shen Chuchu arrived at the cafe which Wang Jing suggested . Wang Jing was already there when she arrived . On the surface, Wang Jing looked no different than the last time they met but something was slightly different if you looked closely . At least the smile on her face had disappeared .
As soon as Shen Chuchu sat down, Wang Jing got straight to the point and started to talk about the matter, “We were planning to get married today but plans changed . We are no longer planning to get married . We actually broke up yesterday . ”
From the moment Wang Jing sent that message, Shen Cuchu had already suspected the ending but she still felt somewhat pained when she heard this from Wang Jing . She felt sad for Wang Jing and the subtle pain in her words .
“Don’t worry, if the old doesn’t go then the new one won’t come . Without this person, your next one will definitely be better than this one . ”
Wang Jing pulled a smile at this and replied, “Really? I already don’t have any hope for love anymore . ”
Shen Chuchu saw that Wang Jing had now only married once according to the marriage system and it also had a four-star rating . She smiled and said, “Don’t say that . Did you forget I can do fortune-telling? I can say for certain that the next one will definitely be better than this one . ”

After listening to Shen Chuchu’s words, Wang Jing’s depressed mood lightened slightly . However, she thought back to the matter at hand and the strand of light in her heart was pushed down by darkness again .
“Do you know, I asked him when I got home that night . His parents are not opposed but he became strangely silent when I mentioned his ex-girlfriend . ” At this point, Wang Jing laughed a little but this laugh was filled with pain, “He actually still had affection for his first girlfriend and I even suggested for him to contact his first girlfriend . ”
Shen Chuchu could not bear to watch Wang Jing’s sad expression and comforted, “Jingjing, what you did was right . If they did not contact each other this time then what if his first girlfriend appeared one day and they decided to rekindle their relationship . This would hurt you even more deeply . Sometimes, it’s better to hurt for a short while than to hurt for a long time . It’s better to have this resolved . ”
Wang Jing did not cry when she heard her boyfriend was still involved with his ex-girlfriend or when they broke up but she started to cry from Shen Chuchu’s words and did not know why .
Shen Chuchu silently passed over the tissues to Wang Jing . She did not advise Wang Jing not to cry because she knew that sometimes emotions need to be vented out . The more it was kept inside, the sadder her heart would be . Once everything had been cried out and released, it was only then a person could start anew .
After crying, a smile appeared on Wang Jing’s face, “I’ve truly let you see something ridiculous . ”
Shen Chuchu shook her head, “Why would it be? I feel you are very brave . If it were myself, I may not have the courage to ask them . So I think what you did was very right . ”
Wang Jing held Shen Chuchu’s hand and said, “Thank you, Chuchu . ”
Shen Chuchu patted her hand, “You’re welcome . ”
When Wang Jing finally calmed down, she looked at the quiet Shen Chuchu in front of her and said, “Chuchu, I would have never guessed that it would be you who helped me in the end . When we were in university, I was jealous of you from the start . Girls liked to compare appearances and you were just so beautiful . Afterwards, I found out that you had a gentle nature and wanted to be friends with you but you were busy every day . You studied daily and did not date or go out even when you are so pretty . You were truly a very strange beauty . ”
This was the first time Shen Chcuhu heard a description of herself in university from another person . Nevertheless, this was long in the past and Shen Chuchu no longer felt the need to restrain herself .

“Ah, I was not strange but very dumb . I unexpectedly passed the university entrance exam but what I didn’t expect was that it was the beginning of a nightmare . There were many people in my high school who did not pass so I stood out and made quite a racket . Once I entered the Imperial College, I realised everything was not how I imagined it would be . Everyone else passed their university time with food and fun while I continuously had to resit exams on top of a mountain of books and question papers . ” As she thought back, Shen Chuchu’s whole body shivered and was thankful to have graduated successfully already . “If I was given another chance, I would definitely not go to the Imperial College to study . ”
Shen Chuchu saw that Wang Jing was amused and a grieving expression appeared on her face, “I was jealous of you guys . You were all elite students while I was a mediocre student . ”
Wang Jing replied, “It doesn’t matter if you are an elite or mediocre student as long you do what makes you happy . A person’s life should be spent happily . “
Shen Chuchu heard this and nodded in agreement, “Yes, that’s what I think too . ”
Wang Jing thought about Shen Chuchu’s current career and asked with a smile, “Then are you happy as an actress right now?”
Shen Chuchu replied in a low voice, “I’ve yet to experience the happiness of celebrities but I have realized the joy of being an actor . It is quite fun and interesting when we are filming . ”
Wang Jing nodded, “Yes, that’s good . Be yourself and do the things you enjoy . ”
Although they were classmates, they did not communicate much during university . While at this moment, with a common secret between them, they found each other more likeable the more they talked . Unwittingly, they had talked for a whole afternoon .
Back at home, Shen Chuchu looked at her own marriage system . It seemed that the system had generously given her forty points in experience points . Shen Chuchu’s mood improved as she stared at the experience points . This sense of accomplishment when helping others made her feel very happy and joyful .
When she looked further down, Shen Chuchu could clearly see it this time . Last time, she did not look carefully at the chance value and was tricked by Wan Shanshan . This time, she must look at it carefully .
After a few confirmations, Shen Chuchu could clearly see that the chance value was now at 2! In other words, good luck was coming . Shen Chuchu felt that there were too many surprises today and wondered what this surprise would be?
The next morning, Shen Chuchu received a phone call from Chen Xili .
