Chapter 49: Protection
Carola immediately stood up after seeing Vivian hang up, "Vivian what the hell are you thinking? Why do you still want to get involved with Hanley?"
Carola already disliked Hanley, and once she knew what he had done, she was even more dissatisfied.
Vivian smiled reassuringly, "Carola, don't worry, even if I get in touch with Hanley again, I won't have any more involvement with him!"
It wasn't that she hadn't thought about what she would do if she met with Hanley every day.
From the moment she knew she was going to work with Qin's Group on Plan B, she had thought it through. Even though it would be sad, she would definitely keep gritting her teeth and keep going. "Not worried? That man Hanley is not a good person, you will definitely be bullied to death by him! No matter, you must not have contact with him again, I will never allow him to bully you again!" Carola's eyes were full of worry, before she was in S city, she didn't know much about Hanley's affairs. But just based on that incident two years ago, she wouldn't have any good feelings towards him!
Vivian knew Carola was worried about her, but now she had no choice.
"Carola, I know you're worried about me, but I can't watch my brother's hard work go to waste like this." Vivian took Carola's hand and said seriously, "He has put so much effort into Du's Group because of me, and I don't want him to ruin all his hard work because of me. The fact that Hanley is involved again is certainly hard for me to bear. But I would only be more upset if his heart and soul were gone."
Hanley doesn't affect her as much as he used to, and Vivian is sure she won't get any deeper into it.
Carola had a million reasons to advise Vivian not to get involved with Hanley anymore, but she didn't know what to say in the face of the current situation.
Vivian also followed and stood up, took Carola's hand and said: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid to jump into a pit when I know it's ahead. It took me two years to put Hanley down, so naturally I won't let him affect my life again. I just don't want my brother's hard work to go to waste, nothing more."
Carola compromised, knowing how much Vinson meant to Vivian.
"If you insist so much, I won't stop you anymore, but in the future, whatever happens, you must tell me first, just like we used to do, whenever something happens, you must say it."
She didn't know what had happened in the past, let alone how Vivian had actually survived these two years.
As a good friend, she would want to go and help her get justice, and equally as a good friend, she didn't want Vivian to get hurt again.
"I don't want to open up your wounds again, so I won't ask you about what happened before. But Vivian, I hope you can not change yourself because of Hanley. It's right to learn to protect yourself and not to le that man Hanley bully you again. But don't lose the real you, okay?"
Carola did not want time to turn Vivian into a person who would only lick her wounds silently, she still preferred the old person who would tell her everything.
Vivian tried to pull out a smile, but she didn't know that at this moment she was laughing more than crying.
"All right, don't say anything, just lie on me and cry for a while! But don't be sad after crying, what is a man? If you lose one, there will be another one! We have to look ahead, there is still a lot of time ahead of us! Even if you see Hanley again in the future, you have to hold back your heart and never fall for him again!"
Carola said this on purpose, her mouth was stupid and she didn't know what to say. She could only use her lame way to cheer Vivian up.
Vivian laughed and asked rhetorically: "Just talking about me, what about you? How's your life after leaving me, and Hubert? Have you been with Hubert? Are you still in touch?"
"You're asking so many questions at once, how am I supposed to answer them?" Carola smiled helplessly, "Hubert and I were both in S. My parents were planning to move the company's headquarters to S. at that time, and I went there with them."
Vivian wiped her tears and said in a somewhat gossipy tone, "So you guys......"
"We?" Carola laughed and helplessly nodded Vivian's forehead, "What we were before is what we are now. Love is not something that can be liked without the person he likes around him to begin with. But don't worry, I'm not the kind of deadhead, I won't always love just one man. There are many more pleasures in life, and I won't be all over this."
Vivian always knew that Carola was going to be strong and that she wouldn't be as humble as she was in liking someone.
Carola's ideas were good, and Vivian would not be heartbroken, but rather envied her for thinking that way from the beginning. Instead of getting herself all bruised up like she did.
"During those two years, did you meet anyone else you liked? Did you really let go of Hubert?"
Vivian wasn't curious, but wanted to make sure that she would still like someone else, that it was true that she wouldn't always still be in love with Hubert.
Although Hubert was nice, and their relationship was good. But Vivian wanted Carola to be better because she understood what it was like to like someone.
Carola doesn't intend to hide her thoughts. It was because they both kept it to themselves that there was such a big misunderstanding in the first place, and she doesn't want to do it again now.
"I have more or less the same feelings for him, just not to the point where I have to have him. I've spent the last two years making me better, becoming better. Not thinking that this would be good enough for him, but simply trying to make me better. I know a lot of things, you to complain about the unfairness is useless, rather than this rather than choose to make me become better. The only way you can live the life you want is to become better."
Although Carola's words are an understatement, Vivian understands that she must have had a very tiring two years.
"Do you think we're really alike?" Vivian said in a joking tone: "Although you describe a very calm, but you understand the difficulties involved. And I've been alone abroad for the past two years, although I've also met a good friend, but ultimately not as happy as staying in B City."
"How else can we say that we are the best friends? But no fear, now that we are still with each other, life will be better in the future." Carola said happily, she believed that the power of friends is the strongest. "Well, we will definitely be better in the future!" Vivian also said firmly: "We will all have a new life, and we will all live happily ever after."
