Li Qiyu asked curiously, "What does 'going to work' mean?" She thought that if she helped Ming Yuexuan get rid of the troubles, would Ming Yuexuan stay?
"Going to work means having a job and earning money to support the family."
"Don't you have any money?"
"The Ming family is rich, but I don't have any money of my own. Without the identity of the third young lady of the Ming family, I have nothing."
She also learned this from Li Xiyu.
As the eldest daughter of the Li family, except for Li Xichi who came with her mother after remarriage, Li Xiyu was the only girl in the Li family. She had been doted on since childhood.
Even so, she had always been thinking about her own career.
In contrast, Ming Yuexuan had an elder sister and two elder brothers. Her elder sister, Ming Yuexin, was a psychologist. She was gentle and intellectual only in the clinic, but became a cold and aloof beauty outside. Her two elder brothers at home were equally self - indulgent and selfish.
Ming Yuexuan's situation was even more difficult than Li Xiyu's.
Moreover, the larger the family, the greater the responsibility. Even those born with a silver spoon in their mouths would be disliked by the family if they just loafed around.
No one was willing to support a useless person.
Ming Yuexuan was originally worried that Xiyu would be easily hurt, so she was determined to accompany her. But today she found that her Xiyu actually had her own ideas. Song Jiaye couldn't easily bully her.
Moreover, after getting along with Song Jiaye day and night for some time, Ming Yuexuan had also changed her view a little. She didn't think Song Jiaye was as cold - hearted as she had imagined before.
At least, when facing Xiyu, he was very patient and caring.
At this moment, Li Qiyu was still thinking about Ming Yuexuan's words. There was no concept of earning money to support the family in her mind. In ancient times, the only purpose for a girl after birth was to get married.
Even someone with Li Qiyu's status, who had traveled all over the country with her father and brother, gone to battle, and killed enemies, was well - informed and much stronger than ordinary young ladies.
But when she returned to the capital, she still had to obediently pick up the embroidery needle and sew her own wedding dress.
Li Qiyu asked, "Why do you want to support yourself?"
"Because I want to be in control of my own life. If I can make a career of my own, I won't be used by my grandma for a marriage alliance. Then I can marry whoever I want." Saying this, Ming Yuexuan glanced at Li Xiyu with a look of sympathy in her eyes.
Actually, she wasn't sure if what she was doing would work. She had been secretly looking for a job and going to work without telling her family, and there was still a long way to go before she could succeed.
As for Li Xiyu, she had already achieved some success back then. The magazine she founded once became a fashion icon in the industry.
But even so, she couldn't escape the fate arranged by the family.
However, there were also successful examples.
Her elder sister, Ming Yuexin, was one of them. She lived on her own, hardly interacting with her family. No one could force her to get married. She was quite free and easy.
Ming Yuexuan's words touched Li Qiyu.
Yes, being in control of one's own life. Why hadn't she thought of it before?
She suddenly regretted her decision to jump off the building. Since her husband didn't like her, why did she jump? She could have just divorced Song Jiaye, left the palace, opened a small shop, or even a martial arts school and taught some apprentices. Instead of torturing herself to the point of being unrecognizable.
Without Song Jiaye, she could still live.
Now in this world, the Song Jiaye from the ancient times was nowhere to be found. She had quickly let go, and it wasn't as painful and life - destroying as she had thought.
"Xiaoxuan, can I support myself?"
Ming Yuexuan smiled and said, "Xiyu, you can already support yourself."
Ming Yuexuan reminded her, "You're a major shareholder of the Li Corporation, and you also have your own magazine. With these two companies combined, you're a rich woman."
"Then can I divorce Song Jiaye anytime?"
"Sure!" Ming Yuexuan looked at her innocently. "Haven't you already divorced him?"
"Oh, right."
Thinking of the six - month agreement, Li Qiyu nodded.
It seemed that as soon as she crossed over, she had everything for no reason.
However, Ming Yuexuan still didn't forget to remind her, "You still need to be careful. Although the prenuptial agreement between you and Song Jiaye says that the Li Corporation has nothing to do with him and he's just an employee, you haven't managed the Li Corporation for so many years. No one knows if he's secretly up to something. And the magazine is also in his hands now. Since you're getting divorced, you should clarify the property."
Li Qiyu nodded and said, "Thank you, Xiaoxuan."
"Come on, we're sisters. No need to be so polite." Ming Yuexuan looked at the ceiling and felt a bit reluctant. She sighed. "But you've become much cuter since you lost your memory."
Li Qiyu imitated her tone and said, "You're cute too."
She originally wanted to keep Ming Yuexuan, but after listening to her explanation, she decided not to.
It wasn't that she didn't want to keep her, but she thought it would be better for Ming Yuexuan to leave.
However, she was still very reluctant.
"Xiaoxuan, will you still come to see me?"
After all, in ancient times, separation meant not seeing each other for a long time.
"Sure. When I finish my classes and come back to this city, I can come to see you anytime."
"When will you finish your classes?"
"At most in three or four days."
Li Qiyu suddenly didn't feel sad at all.
She suddenly thought that without Xiaoxuan, life might be a bit quieter. It was actually quite good.
The next day, Ming Yuexuan went to say goodbye to Song Jiaye. Before leaving, she didn't forget to give her sister a push.
"She can't just stay at home all day. You can consider taking her to the company or the magazine to let her gradually take over the work?"
Song Jiaye took Ming Yuexuan's suggestion to heart. After all, he only had six months. No matter what the situation would be after six months, he was going to leave.
Although Li Qiyu still said some crazy things from time to time, her learning ability was indeed very strong. It was time for her to gradually take over the company's affairs.
Of course, he had to make some arrangements for the company in advance.
Just as Song Jiaye was thinking about how to arrange Li Xiyu to enter the company, his phone screen flashed with a new message.
It was a voice message from Father Li: "Do you have time these two days? Come back with Xiyu for dinner when you're free."
Song Jiaye knew what Father Li meant. The dinner was just an excuse. The real purpose was to talk about the Song family's banquet.
Song Jiaye thought of the man he saw at the entrance of the fashion show yesterday.
Wasn't the Song family in the capital? Now not only was Old Master Song staying in this city, but that man had also come!
Song Jiaye didn't want to go back to the Song family. The Song family was not a home to him, but a shackle.
He had originally planned to stay far away after the Li family's affairs were settled.
But the Song family didn't seem to give him this chance.
Song Jiaye looked at the WeChat interface. He knew clearly in his heart that this was a tough battle.
