She rebutted his statement with her usual candour, "I don't believe for a second also that YOU have no inside information on this saga . Even if I believe your claim that brother Tang hasn't confided into you, I am not ready to accept that he hasn't mentioned anything to brother Chung as well . And if he has, brother Chung would have definitely come back and told you about it . Everything said and done, you are the cleverest out of them all . "

Li Jie laughed at the blatant use of flattery by Tang's kid sister, "you do know that I have seen you grow up and all the manoeuvres you are trying on me, have been taught to you by one of us only . "

Ethan guffawed and immediately tried to cover it with a cough .

Shooting him a pointed look, she continued, "you may say whatever but I am not going to give up . If you are not going to say anything, I shall go to Jia Li . At least she wouldn't lie to me . "

Li Jie held her arm tightly preventing her from walking away .

"I don't want you going anywhere near her regarding anything related to Tang . I need you to promise me that," he said intensely .

Ethan, who had been quietly watching the banter till now, stepped in with a raised eyebrow at Li Jie's changed bearing .

He released Chu's arm but motioned them both to follow him outside the house .

He took a deep breath and addressed her, "what I am about to tell you is known only to a handful people . Even Chung doesn't know the whole truth . I need you to promise me that you are not going to mention this to anyone . "

She squinted her eyes against the glaring sun and gave him a nod .

"Jia Li is getting a divorce from her husband and is going through a turbulent time, as we speak . "

After a moment of stunned silence, Chu murmured, "why? What happened? Is she ok? Oh my God, does brother Tang know about this?"

Ethan held her and tried to calm her down .

"Jia Li discovered Cheng Fu's infidelity much early on in the marriage . Initially, she tried to play it down calling it his 'harmless flirtatious' nature . Later she tried to justify his actions by believing that something was wrong with her . She thought that she had been unsuccessful in giving the marriage her 100% because a big chunk of her heart still belonged to Tang and as a result Fu felt cheated . The back of their marriage finally broke when Fu walked up to her one day and told her that he had finally found a girl whom he loved and who loved him back . I believe that made Jia Li confront the truth . She finally had to face the sham that her marriage had turned into or had been from the beginning . Let me tell you, till such point, she hadn't breathed a word about any of this to a single soul," he paused to gather his thoughts .

"In fact, I am the only one apart from a couple of her work colleagues, who is aware of this till date . Do you know what is the most perplexing bit in all this? She continues to be good friends with him even today genuinely . Her guilt of not being the perfect partner to him has caused havoc with her self-worth and confidence," he finished with moist eyes .

Ethan was the first one to break the silence, "but don't you see, this is the perfect opportunity for two heartbroken people to come together?"
