Who moved her body?

The man turned his head, his eyes met Guan Jie's, and he nodded slightly. Guan Jie nodded back, and then the two sat up straight, never to meet again.

Back in Senhai City, Guan Jie went straight to Zhuang Buyi's house. Zhuang Buyi, wearing slippers, saw Guan Jie through the peephole, immediately opened the door, and pulled Guan Jie inside.

"My goodness, you're finally back!" Zhuang Buyi poked his head out to look around. "Where's Sister Xiaoxian?"

Guan Jie walked into the living room, put his hands behind his head, and sat slumped on the sofa with his face turned back.

"She's gone."

Zhuang Buyi wasn't sure what those words meant. "Gone?"

"I have lost her completely; she has finally left this world."

"Oh." Zhuang Buyi sighed, but he couldn't comfort Guan Jie.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

"What are your plans regarding Zeng Meiqian? Today is the day you're supposed to meet the Zeng family elders, right?"

"I'll take a nap. Lunch is at 11:30, I'll have time."

After saying that, Guan Jie fell asleep.

Zhuang Buyi took a blanket from the bedroom and covered Guan Jie with it, staring at Guan Jie for a long time with some confusion.

Zhuang Buyi thought Guan Jie's reaction was a bit unusual.

After Song Xiaoxian died in a car accident, he was a completely different person. At that time, Guan Jie was filled with grief, sadness, and despair from head to toe. But this time, Guan Jie was unusually calm, clear-headed, and able to sleep. What surprised Zhuang Buyi the most was that Guan Jie actually remembered the Zeng family's lunch at 11:30 a.m.

"Something's not right. Something must be wrong."

Zhuang Buyi was washing his face and brushing his teeth in front of the mirror when suddenly he realized something: back then, Song Xiaoxian was Guan Jie's everything, but now, even though Guan Jie has lost Song Xiaoxian, he still has Zeng Meiqian!

If Song Xiaoxian represents Guan Jie's past, then Zeng Meiqian is undoubtedly his present and future. Zeng Meiqian can give a man everything he ultimately desires in his life, and most importantly, she deeply loves Guan Jie.

"Love, oh love, you really are not something you can't live without, but rather something you have to choose between." Thinking of this, Zhuang Buyi suddenly felt sorry for Song Xiaoxian.

"Perhaps death is the best relief." Zhuang Buyi dared not imagine how Guan Jie would choose between Song Xiaoxian and Zeng Meiqian if Song Xiaoxian were alive. Even if Guan Jie chose Song Xiaoxian, could they go back to the past?

History cannot be rewritten, but Zhuang Buyi believes that Zeng Meiqian is definitely not the kind of person who lets others decide her fate. Even if Guan Jie decides to be with Song Xiaoxian, will Zeng Meiqian let go?

One is a childhood sweetheart who has come back from the dead after five years of separation; the other is the heir to the Zeng family, whose wealth rivals that of a nation. Between memories and reality, no one can predict who will win and who will lose.

Zhuang Buyi couldn't understand why Zeng Meiqian loved Guan Jie so deeply, just as he couldn't understand why Guan Jie didn't suspect that Zeng Meiqian was the person behind the transfer of Song Xiaoxian's information.

"Is this the power of love?"

Zhuang Buyi dried his face and said to his bewildered reflection in the mirror, "You're just worrying about things that don't concern you. Just focus on your job. Analyzing people's hearts isn't your forte. Be careful you don't mess it up!"

Zhuang Buyi made egg toast for himself and Guan Jie. Despite making a loud thumping sound with the frying pan, Guan Jie slept soundly.

Just as Zhuang Buyi was considering whether to wake Guan Jie for breakfast, Guan Jie's phone rang. It was Zeng Meiqian calling.

"Sister Meiqian, it's me... Oh, Guan Jie is asleep, he just got off the plane... Um, he said he'd be there on time at noon..."

Zeng Meiqian suddenly changed the subject. "Everything I've said and done is for Guan Jie, do you understand? I love him, so I really don't want to lose him."

"You mean the acquisition of Queer? Hehe, I knew Sister Meiqian was just pressuring me to hire people, I didn't take it seriously at all," Zhuang Buyi said with a smile.

"You're Guan Jie's best friend, and we all hope he lives a good and happy life, right?"

"Sister Meiqian, why are you talking so seriously? I don't quite understand."

"Oh, it just came to mind suddenly. It's nothing, I was just saying whatever came to mind. No matter what, I hope you'll remember what I said today."

"Oh," Zhuang Buyi responded, sounding somewhat bewildered.

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Buyi felt that something in his brain must have short-circuited. Zeng Meiqian was clearly hinting at something, but he couldn't remember it.

……

Guan Jie got up, took a shower, and shaved his beard clean. Zhuang Buyi poked his head out and exclaimed "Oh!" when he saw Guan Jie's appearance.

"You look even more energetic than before, just like ten years ago, still as handsome as ever."

Guan Jie sprayed the styling gel into his palm, rubbed his hands together, and then applied it to his head. He took a step back, looked himself over, and gave Zhuang Buyi in the mirror a smirk.

"Our time!"

"Are you missing Sister Xiaoxian again?" Zhuang Buyi saw the light in Guan Jie's eyes and knew that the light belonged to Song Xiaoxian.

"If I hadn't been so insistent on waiting until we had a house to marry her, we would have been married long ago, and maybe our children would be grown up by now. Perhaps," Guan Jie sighed, lowering his eyes, "maybe we would still be living happily, just like before."

Zhuang Buyi pushed up his glasses, racking his brains for something to say, but in the end, he said nothing. He wasn't good at advising or comforting others, and he was even more powerless to help Guan Jie, who was deeply wounded.

Seeing Zhuang Buyi's somewhat remorseful expression, Guan Jie smiled and straightened his tie.

"Today is a big day for me and Zeng Meiqian. I think Xiaoxian in heaven wouldn't want me to be late."

After tidying himself up, Guan Jie patted Zhuang Buyi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, brother."

Zhuang Buyi offered to drive Guan Jie to the hotel, worried that Guan Jie might get distracted while driving. The more Guan Jie kept quiet, the more worried he became. Moreover, Guan Jie agreed without hesitation to meet Zeng Meiqian's elders on the originally scheduled date, which was completely inconsistent with Guan Jie's feelings for Song Xiaoxian.

Although Guan Jie said he couldn't let Zeng Meiqian down, Zhuang Buyi still couldn't understand why.

Does this mean Guan Jie doesn't love Song Xiaoxian as much anymore?

When Song Xiaoxian died five years ago, Guan Jie almost lost his own soul. But this time, Song Xiaoxian died in front of Guan Jie, and died so tragically. There's no reason for Guan Jie not to be heartbroken.

Is the way to heal a broken heart to find a replacement?

As Zhuang Buyi drove, he pondered the situation and finally accepted the fact that Guan Jie had "fallen out of love."

When Guan Jie arrived at the hotel, Zeng Meiqian came out to greet him. Zeng Meiqian was wearing a silver dress, and her ten-centimeter-high diamond-encrusted heels were just as dazzling as the dress.

"You're so beautiful!" Guan Jie said.

"I can never get enough of hearing that." Zeng Meiqian winked playfully, then took Guan Jie's arm and walked into the banquet hall.

The elders of the Zeng family already knew about Guan Jie. They couldn't say whether they agreed or disagreed with the choice of the Zeng family's successor. After all, the Zeng family had reached this position, and marriage alliances were no longer within their consideration.

However, they never expected that Zeng Meiqian, an almost perfect woman, would choose Guan Jie to spend her life with. If a man is judged by his career, Guan Jie is not a good person in their eyes; there are plenty of people like him in the world.

Since there was no objection, they had no choice but to accept it. However, as elders, they chose to see Guan Jie again before their wedding to show their stance.

Guan Jie wasn't intimidated by the elders' imposing manner, perhaps because of his carefree and natural demeanor. In any case, these stubborn old men soon dropped their obstinate masks and showed Guan Jie approving smiles.

"Our Zeng family's son-in-law is indeed extraordinary. It seems Qian'er's eye for talent is just as sharp as her business acumen," Zeng Meiqian's grandfather commented with satisfaction after the banquet.
