Capítulo 200: Pleading

"I'm here," Zhuang Hua responded gently.

"Zhuang Hua, I'm begging you. You get on best with Xia Zhe, am I right, so please help me talk to him. I really can't leave him. He clearly agreed to marry me!" Zheng Yuan's eyes were filled with anticipation and pleading. Her hands trembled as she held on to Zhuang Hua, afraid that he would not agree to help her.

The gentleness in Zhuang Hua's eyes turned into pity and heartache. He did not expect Zheng Yuan to go to this extent for Xia Zhe. She had always been able to get whatever she wanted since she was young and had a smooth path in life. Now, she was begging him to help her hold on to Xia Zhe.

Zhuang Hua did not know what to say. On one hand was a brother who had grown up and gone through thick and thin together with him. On the other hand was a close childhood friend. Both of them were dear to him and it was a tough call. Zhuang Hua frowned and did not know what to do.
