Chen Jia walked out of the house with a heavy heart, wanting to get some fresh air outside to calm her chaotic thoughts. However, before she had gone far, Huan Xifei blocked her way. Chen Jia frowned, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and she said impatiently: "Huan Xifei, get out of the way, stop pestering me."

Huan Xifei, however, was full of pride, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Humph, I won't give way so easily. The Wei family has already come to me, don't you want to know why?"

Chen Jia's heart tightened and a bad premonition came to her mind, but she still pretended to be calm and remained silent.

Seeing this, Huan Xifei chuckled and said, "Come with me, there are some things you should listen to."

Chen Jia hesitated for a moment. She knew that this might be a difficult meeting, but she also wanted to know what the Wei family wanted to say, so she gritted her teeth and followed Huan Xifei to the teahouse.

In the private room of the teahouse, Chen Jia saw Wei Lang's eldest sister Wei Yue.

Wei Yue was wearing a gorgeous dress, with a noble and cold temperament. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she looked Chen Jia up and down, as if she could see through Chen Jia.

Then, Wei Yue slowly said, "Chen Jia, you should know how incompatible you, a remarried woman, are with Wei Lang. The Wei family has a pivotal position in the capital, and Wei Lang is the hope of the family. And you, with your remarried status, will only bring shame to the Wei family. Ever since Wei Lang fell in love with you, he has done many impulsive things for you. He openly defended you on those occasions, and did not hesitate to conflict with the children of other famous families, which made the Wei family lose face in front of many people. Those families who were offended by him pointed fingers at the Wei family behind their backs, causing a lot of trouble for the Wei family. Our Wei family's foothold in the capital depends on the family's reputation and the balance of relations between all parties, but Wei Lang broke this balance because of you. What do you think you are qualified to continue to stay with Wei Lang?"

Inside the private room of the teahouse, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

The carved wooden windows were half-closed, and occasionally a few breezes sneaked in quietly, but they could not dispel the depressing atmosphere.

Chen Jia stood there quietly, her posture as straight as a pine tree. After listening to Wei Yue's words, she did not look lost or nervous.

She had actually expected that the Wei family would not like a remarried woman like her. After all, in the capital city with its strict hierarchy and strong family values, her identity did seem a bit out of place. So at this moment, she felt unusually calm, as if she had been mentally prepared.

Huan Xifei, who was standing by, immediately became proud when she saw this. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of contempt.

"Chen Jia, since you know you are not worthy, then leave quickly and stop pestering Wei Lang."

Chen Jia glanced at Huan Xifei coldly, ignored her, and turned her gaze back to Wei Yue.

She straightened her spine and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Miss Wei, although what you said makes sense, don't look down on me. Don't look down on young people because they are poor. I am not a burden to Wei Lang. I have my own career, and my brother Chen Jue also has his future. Being with Wei Lang is not my only choice, and it doesn't matter to me whether I have Wei Lang or not. You think I am a woman who clings to men, but you are wrong. My vision is definitely not so narrow."

Chen Jia's voice was clear and firm, like the sound of jade colliding, echoing in this private room.

She was wearing a light blue dress, which was not gorgeous but had a simple and elegant beauty. Her eyes were bright and sharp, as if she could see through people's hearts.

Wei Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the woman in front of her, with a complex emotion in her heart. She came here for the benefit of the family, wanting to persuade Chen Jia to withdraw, but she didn't expect Chen Jia to have such courage and determination.

Wei Yue gently picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "Humph, you say it lightly. Do you think you can gain a foothold in this capital city by your own strength? Do you know how difficult this world is?"

Chen Jia's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. "Miss Wei, I know the difficulties in this world. But I also believe that as long as you have determination and courage, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome. Although I am a remarried woman, I am no worse than anyone else."

"It's good that you have such an ambition, but you have to know that the Wei family holds an important position in the capital, and Wei Lang is the hope of the family. If you stay with him, you will only bring him trouble."

"Love is not a burden, but a strength. Since this love brings only troubles, why should I insist on being with him?"

"Do you really think you can give up your brother?"

In the teahouse, Chen Jia looked at Wei Yue calmly and said slowly: "The Wei family doesn't accept me, and Wei Lang has done many willful things because of me. If this continues, it will only make each other's families hate each other. It's better to separate now and avoid trouble in the future."

Wei Yue looked at the woman in front of him quietly, and he admired her confidence and courage more and more. "Chen Jia, you are indeed different. I admire your courage and determination. In this case, let's not talk about this anymore. I will treat you to a meal today, just as an acquaintance."

Chen Jia was slightly stunned, and then she also showed a polite smile. "Thank you very much, Miss Wei."

After dinner, Chen Jia came to the riverside to sit alone. The breeze gently blew across the lake, creating ripples.

She watched all this quietly, but her heart was filled with melancholy. She knew that her love was going to end in vain. Although she felt a little sad, she understood that this was a reality that she had to accept.

At this time, Wei Lang was busy in the Dali Temple.

Huan Yi came running over in a hurry, and said anxiously, "Wei Lang, this is bad! My sister Huan Xifei asked Wei Yue to persuade Chen Jia to quit, and Wei Yue has already met Chen Jia. I'm afraid Chen Jia will leave you because of this."

When Wei Lang heard this, he was immediately flustered. He asked for leave from his superior without hesitation, and then went to find Chen Jia like crazy.

He searched for a long time, almost running all over the capital. Finally, he found Chen Jia sitting quietly by the river.

It was a quiet corner, with the river flowing gently and willows swaying on the bank.

Wei Lang's pace slowed down unconsciously, his eyes fixed on Chen Jia, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.

Chen Jia was wearing a light blue dress and sitting quietly on a big rock by the river.

Her eyes stared into the distance with an empty look, the breeze blew her hair, which sparkled softly in the sun. Her profile was beautiful, but with a hint of sadness.

Wei Lang walked slowly to Chen Jia's side, and every step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of pressure.

His heart was beating fast, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, making it difficult for him to make a sound. Finally, he stopped a few steps away from Chen Jia.

"Yiyi..."

Wei Lang's voice was so soft that it seemed like it could be blown away by a breeze. But by the quiet river, it was particularly clear.

When Chen Jia heard Wei Lang's voice, she was startled for a moment, then slowly raised her head.

A complex emotion flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"How did you come?"

Wei Lang's eyes were full of affection and anxiety. He slowly walked to Chen Jia's side, squatted down, and looked at her at eye level.

I heard about Wei Yue and you. Don't leave me, okay? "

Wei Lang held Chen Jia's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go.

Chen Jia gently broke free from Wei Lang's hand and shook her head slightly.

"Wei Lang, we are not suitable, let's let go."
