2935 All the Difficulties, Leave Them to Me

"I know…" said Jiang Yujie softly.

"Yujie, I know what you're thinking. I didn't say that I like you just because of guilt. I won't do that. I admit that after finding out what you did for me, I did feel guilty. However, that guilt is not enough to make me lie and say that I like you. This is not fair to you. Such lies would hurt you.

"You have already done so much for me; I can't lie and hurt you because of this. If I did that, would I even be human? I've separated my emotions clearly. There are many ways to pay you back because of my guilt.

"If I don't like you and feel guilty towards you, I will just treat you as my younger sister. Even if I took care of you my whole life, so what? Even if you reject relationships because of this, those people can't see the good in you anyway. Even if you don't date other people and don't marry, I will take care of you my whole life. Even if I don't get married and we lived together as brother and sister, so what?

"If it's purely to repay a favor, I will choose this method. I will not lie to you and say that I like you. Since when did lying become a way of repaying a favor?" said Jiang Huaizhou.

Jiang Yujie lowered her head. Her tears dropped on her lap.

So this was why she liked Jiang Huaizhou so much.

He had always divided things so clearly. He would not be ambiguous and do things that hurt others.

"It's because I have said it so clearly that Mom was willing to give me a chance to tell you this and ask you whether you're willing to tell me where you are. If you are willing to, then I will go to you," said Jiang Huaizhou.

Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Huaizhou, full of gratitude.

Jiang Huaizhou said this for her sake as well.

It was to prevent Jiang Yujie from complaining that Mrs. Jiang had not kept her promise.

"I won't blame Mom," Jiang Yujie mumbled, understanding what Jiang Huaizhou meant.

Jiang Huaizhou laughed subconsciously.

How could people not like a lady whose thoughts were this transparent?

"I also promised Mom another thing. In the future, we won't be able to avoid meeting people in our social circles who know about your past, but so what? I don't care. No matter what those people say, I won't care, because you're never the one at fault. Even if people gossip, that's their fault," said Jiang Huaizhou.

"But…" Jiang Yujie had just opened her mouth…

When she was interrupted by Jiang Huaizhou. "I also told Mom that if I break my promises one day, then I will be alone forever, without anyone loving me. My career will never bear fruit, and I will have no accomplishments as I struggle at the bottom every day."

Jiang Yujie had wondered how Jiang Huaizhou managed to convince Mrs. Jiang.

But she did not expect him to have said words that carried so much weight.

She knew that Jiang Huaizhou was a very ambitious person.

As he had always been outstanding, he did not allow himself to live without accomplishments.

Having no accomplishments and being unable to do anything was a cruel fate for Jiang Huaizhou.

"That's why, Yujie, tell me where you are and I will find you," said Jiang Huaizhou.

"I liked you first," said Jiang Huaizhou. "So if you don't like me, I won't force you. We'd still be siblings. But if you also like me a little, then give me this chance to take care of you."

He continued, "All the difficulties, leave them to me."
