Chapter 144 Fair Competition
At this moment, Andrew stared at Alice, his deep, piercing gaze seeming to penetrate her innermost thoughts. Finally, he sighed deeply and slowly began to soothe her, "Alice, listen to me, honestly. Qin Nuo is truly not suitable for you. Even though he doesn't have a girlfriend yet, I sincerely advise you to decisively give up your feelings for him." Andrew's tone was calm, but the firmness in it was hard to ignore.
Alice's eyes were slightly red, and she cried out with a look of grievance, "I just like him! It felt like being struck by lightning, making my heart beat faster and I couldn't help myself! I really have a crush on him! Besides, my parents and the uncles in my family didn't explicitly object to me pursuing Qin Nuo!"
Andrew's face was stern and his expression was extremely serious. He said sternly: "Alice, don't be so naive! Do you think that your parents' non-objection means they truly support you? They just feel sorry for you and want to fulfill your infatuation! But what about those uncles in the family? How many of them are just watching the fun, waiting to see you and me make a fool of ourselves? Think about it carefully! In addition, I also want to ask you like Bai Nini, what is it about Qin Nuo that you like? Is it just because of his handsome appearance? Or is it just because he is a good player, loves sports, and looks full of sunshine and vitality? But you have to know that he doesn't understand the way of business at all. If I didn't want to repay him for saving my life, how could I have taught him these things wholeheartedly!"
He saw Alice's face instantly crumpled like a piece of paper, nearly twisting into a knot. Andrew sighed helplessly, then spoke earnestly, "My silly sister, think carefully. You and Qin Nuo have absolutely no common interests or hobbies, and you can't find anything to talk about. Do you really expect to spend the rest of your life simply looking at his handsome face? You know, Qin Nuo and Bai Nini can chat for a whole day just discussing how to cook a dish. And Qin Nuo truly loves and dotes on Bai Nini from the bottom of his heart! No matter how willful and spoiled Bai Nini is, even if she acts recklessly and mischievously in front of Qin Nuo's beloved, Qin Nuo will willingly endure it and even enjoys it! And do you have the confidence that Qin Nuo can do the same for you?"
Alice bit her lower lip tightly, as if trying to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, but crystal clear tears kept sliding down her beautiful face like beads with broken strings.
Andrew had always loved his sister the most. Seeing this, he quickly pulled out a beautifully embroidered handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears from Alice's cheeks. Then, he deliberately slowed down and softened his tone, whispering comfortingly, "My dear sister, I sincerely hope that you can find a man who loves you wholeheartedly and spend your life with you! This man will always be devoted to you and regard you as the only love of his life! Of course, the premise is that you love him deeply as well. I will never allow you to use your marriage to gain benefits for the family, and I don't want to see you suffer any grievances in your marriage. My greatest wish is that you can be immersed in full happiness and live a life of joy and carefree forever!"
"Brother, you won't let me marry those officials to achieve an alliance between families?" Alice raised her eyes in surprise and looked straight at Andrew, as if she wanted to confirm from his expression whether what she had just heard was true.
Andrew nodded heavily, his face serious and solemn, "Sister, I will never allow you to trade your lifelong happiness for the family's temporary benefits! Don't worry! I am here to protect you and will never let anyone bully you!"
Hearing Andrew's resolute statement, Alice's eyes instantly brightened, but soon a trace of stubbornness and persistence flashed across her face. She took a deep breath, and then said firmly: "In this case, please don't stop me from pursuing Qin Nuo!"
Andrew was so confused by Alice's words that he didn't know how to respond for a moment. His face changed slightly, and after moving his lips a few times, he slowly said, "Sister, I did this because I'm worried that you'll be wronged. If you do something out of line in your impulse, it will be very difficult to end it!"
However, Alice seemed to have made up her mind long ago and answered without hesitation: "Brother, you can rest assured about this! I promise you that I will never hurt Bai Nini in the slightest. From now on, I will only choose to compete with her fairly! If Qin Nuo's heart still favors Bai Nini and has never changed, then I will never get involved in any more unnecessary entanglements!"
Andrew looked at his stubborn yet courageous sister, a complex wave of emotions welling up in his heart. After a moment's silence, he reached out and gently patted Alice's shoulder. His voice was low but full of trust as he spoke, "Sister, I believe in you! We in the Zhang family have always been upright and honest, and we would never do anything so treacherous and deceitful as to be a villain!"
The next morning, the sun began to shine, and soft sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Alice slowly opened her eyes, stretched, and then got up to wash and dress.
She carefully selected a simple yet stylish casual suit, the colors of which were perfectly matched, highlighting her graceful figure. However, unlike usual, her flawless face was not even a trace of makeup. Even so, she still exuded a fresh, natural, and youthful aura, as beautiful as a newly opened flower in spring.
After packing everything, Alice walked towards Bai Nini with light steps. After a while, she appeared in front of Bai Nini.
She smiled, her eyes revealing sincerity and apology, and she spoke to Bai Nini in a very earnest tone, "Regarding the incident yesterday when the maid broke your beloved suitcase, and those inappropriate words I said, I sincerely apologize to you. Please believe that I will definitely compensate you with a brand new suitcase to make up for this mistake. Also, from today on, I will never give up on Qin Nuo easily. I have decided to have a fair and just competition with you. However, if Qin Nuo still chooses you in the end, then I sincerely wish you two happiness and contentment."
