Shu Man could only think of this reason. Besides, she held a vague impression of a brother she used to have, who said that he would take care of her.
But she didnât remember the brotherâs name.
He Xiyan was also confused by what her sister said. She opened her eyes wide, full of doubts and puzzles.
She shook her head, denying her sisterâs strange idea. Their mother only gave birth to them two. They had no elder brothers nor younger brothers.
As for why Su Ye sent Manman a house, she also felt confused.
âMaybe he likes you.â He Xiyan said in a low voice. That was the only reason she could think of.
Shu Man said, âBut I donât know him. Even if heâs a rich guy with a lot of money, itâs impossible for him to give a house to a strange woman.â
Shu Man always felt that those things happened to her were becoming more and more baffling.
Firs,t she got an elder sister who had married into a rich family, and now strangely, she had a super-rich suitor. If that man was not a suitor, then he must be sick.
He Xiyan smiled with doubts. She didnât know Su Ye much, but she did know that Su Ye had always been a playboy, who dated Ye Shiyu last year and even took Yang Kexinâs hand intimately in a restaurant some days before.
For such a man, no woman could figure out what he was thinking.
âWell⦠Manman.â He Xiyan patted her sister on the shoulder and said, âDonât think too much. Su Ye sends you something, possibly because he wants to pursue you. As for the reason behind it, you can ask him. Of course, listen to me, donât take it too seriously. He is not a man suitable for marriage. If you also like him, you can play with him, but do not take it seriously or get stuck in it. Two or three billion yuan means little to him.â
He Xiyan persuaded her sister so. She did not want her sister to be hurt emotionally, nor did she want her sister to marry into a big family like herself. After all, she herself had married into such a family twice, but did not live a happy life.
Shu Man nodded and said, âI know, sister.â She had never thought of finding such a boyfriend. She even didnât want to get married at all.
The two sisters continued to talk about their work and life, with New Yearâs Eve passing and the New Year coming secretly.
At this time, louder sounds of firecrackers and fireworks came from outside, which continued for a long time. A strong smell of smoke pervaded the air.
âHappy New Year!â Shu Man hugged her sisterâs shoulder and gave her first New Year blessing to her sister, whom she had known for less than one month.
He Xiyan looked at her sister beside her with a smile, watching her happily interacting with friends, sending and grabbing red packets in Wechat groups.
However, while looking at her, she felt unspeakable loss and sadness in her heart. She went to the corridor not far away. Under the light, her face turned pale again. With a sigh, she took out her cell phone from her pocket and clicked on the number she knew quite well.
He still have not replied to her. She had sent him more than a dozen messages these past two days, but he did not answer even one of them. Even on such a day, he had no response.
He Xiyan stroked her chest. Suddenly, she felt painfully suffocated as if she could not breathe.
