On the way back home, Meng Xiao only came to know from Yang Yi's reminiscences that Xie Li and Zhao Jingyan were childhood sweethearts.
"Those two used to have big fights, and Du Jun's family absolutely refused Zhao Jingyan. They had been together from junior high school all the way to university. If it weren't for Du Jun's mother almost hanging herself, I guess by now they would have had a child. " Yang Yi had drunk quite a bit and after returning home, he called for Meng Xiao to massage his headache, all the while narrating to her the various details of Du Jun and Zhao Jingyan's affair.
"Why didn't Du Jun's mother agree? The Zhao family is influential and powerful, isn't it a strong alliance?" Meng Xiao didn't understand. Du Jun and Zhao Jingyan loved each other, didn't that save the tragedy of an arranged marriage? Moreover, Du Jun's mother seemed so gentle, she didn't seem like a woman who would make a fuss.
