Looking at Mr. Zhou being so capable, but now feeling depressed and helpless, I really don't know how to comfort him.
Zhou Heng has never told me about these family matters, and Mrs. Jiang is also very resistant to Mr. Zhou. I have no idea about the specific experiences.
I can't figure out why Mr. Zhou wants to compensate the the Chiang family in this way, but I'm sure his feelings for Mr. Zhou and Jiang Qingyuan are genuine.
"Xiao Ling, you must be wondering where I've been all these years."
I awkwardly smiled, "Do you not miss Zhou Heng?"
He bitterly smiled, "He is my son, how could I be so heartless? That year..."
Time stood still, Zhou Changgeng recounted the past he didn't want to remember: at that time, he left home with nothing, and did all kinds of jobs, construction sites, restaurants, factories... Unfortunately, he didn't earn much money, but he ended up making himself sick. However, he couldn't bear to spend money to go to the hospital, so he toughed it out.
He was too ashamed to return home to see Jiang Li and Zhou Heng, so he could only sneak back. He brought the only three hundred yuan he had saved and wanted to quietly leave it outside the door.
Unfortunately, he didn't see his family. The old house had been sold by Jiang Li, supposedly to pay for Zhou Heng's medical treatment.
Fortunately, Zhou Heng recovered from his illness and saved his life, but his family was nowhere to be found. He knew that Jiang Li was deliberately avoiding him, and even his own mother was disappointed in him. Later, he found a job delivering coal, and it was at that time that he met Wang Zhi again. In a typical story with a typical ending, they got married, and Wang Zhi lived with him and their daughter.
Zhou Changgeng has made progress in his career, starting to take on the coal delivery business in his area. Later on, he expanded into water and gas delivery, achieving the success he has today.
In fact, it was by chance that he met Zhou Heng. Three years ago, he went to Qingyun Temple to burn incense and recognized his own son. From there, he slowly began to inquire about Jiang Li's current situation.
He always donates money for incense to Qingyun Temple under various pretexts, and whenever Qingyun Temple encounters difficulties, he is the first to step forward. As a result, he has become familiar with the head monk of the temple.
The opportunity to see Zhou Heng has increased, and seeing him safe, Zhou Changgeng feels that there are ways to compensate for his inner guilt.
Jiang Qingyuan also found out about his son later, so from the first day of his college, he took care of him in every way.
I think I understand why he didn't dare to appear in front of Jiang Li directly. It's because his relationship with Wang Zhi is complicated. It was a misunderstanding at first, but later, they did become a couple.
I also felt moved in my heart. Mr. Zhou is not a heartless person. Fate is unpredictable, and no one can escape the turning wheel of destiny.
"Well, you and Aunt Wang just live well. The past is in the past."
Mr. Zhou's eyes were red, and his choked voice was so small that I could hardly hear it: "She's gone."
Hmm! I misspoke and feel a bit embarrassed.
"It's okay," Mr. Zhou said with a bitter smile, sighing deeply. " Jingwan is Wang Zhi's daughter. As long as she's by my side, I won't compete with Jiang Li for Zhou Heng and Qingyuan. They are the ones she has raised with great effort, and I'm not that despicable. Please tell Jiang Li that I only hope to see them from time to time."
I glanced at Jingwan, who was chatting with Du Yuwei, responding politely. Ah, Du Yuwei, this time you've really messed up.
"This matter with the contract, don't blame Wang Ze, he just wanted to help you."
I felt a little embarrassed, it seems that he and Wang Ze are not just a simple boss-subordinate relationship.
"He and I are the same, both made mistakes, unforgivable mistakes. Xiao Ling, maybe some people don't deserve forgiveness, but his intention is not bad. If you are with Zhou Heng, I will advise Wang Ze to let go, after all, I hope my child will be happy."
I was stunned, looking at him, unable to speak.
He was definitely clear about the matter between me and Wang Ze, so in the future, I almost became transparent in front of my father-in-law. I awkwardly brushed my bangs to cover up my embarrassment.
Mr. Zhou smiled kindly and said to me, " Jingwan, that child really likes Wang Ze, and I also approve of Wang Ze."
Oh my! Can this relationship get any more chaotic? It feels like it's turned into an incredibly melodramatic love story. I need to sort through this slowly, it's just so unexpected.
Du Yuwei, oh Du Yuwei, it seems this love affair that ended before it even began is destined to break his heart.
"Zhou Heng, I'm counting on you."
"Zhou Changgeng unexpectedly bowed to me, and I quickly stood up to return the gesture. ' Mr. Zhou, why are you being so formal?"
"Xiao Ling, I sincerely thank you."
He left me at a loss. He is Zhou Heng's father and my future potential father-in-law. Balancing his relationship with Mrs. Jiang is indeed a headache for me. In fact, before meeting me, Mr. Zhou had no idea that Wang Ze wanted to rekindle his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, who happens to be me. So, he was a bit dumbfounded when he saw me.
Now I can understand his change in expression at that time. When saying goodbye to Mr. Zhou, Du Yuwei was very reluctant. Being able to spend time alone with Jingwan today has made him ecstatic. I nudged his elbow, "We've walked too far."
Du Yuwei came to his senses and grabbed my arm, "Xiao Meng, I feel like I've fallen this time. I've been completely conquered by Jingwan."
I shook my head helplessly and sighed, "Alas."
"What are you sighing for? Don't you think Jingwan and I are a perfect match?"
I looked him up and down, "I didn't warn you, be careful not to be heartbroken."
Jiang Qingyuan came over, pulled me to the side, and asked me with a smile, "Sis, what did you talk to my dad about? I saw him laughing happily."
"Just casual chat."
Jiang Qingyuan looked at me, "How is that possible? Is it about you and my brother's wedding?"
I was stunned for a moment, then tapped Jiang Qingyuan on the head, "You silly kid, always thinking about such things? Go do your work."
"Fine, I'll just wait to drink at the wedding. I want to be the best man."
I pushed Jiang Qingyuan away, but found my face turning as red as a persimmon.
Du Yuwei clicked his tongue twice, " Ling Xiaomeng, you're really not being considerate. Are you really going to marry that Master Zhou?"
I ignored him and walked straight out of the coffee shop.
Zhou Heng and I haven't discussed this issue yet, but it seems like people around us think we should get married. It feels strange.
At night, after getting ready, I lay in bed with a face mask on and called Zhou Heng.
He was surprised to hear that my mom wanted me to take him back to our hometown on New Year's Day. There was a moment of silence on the phone.
"If you don't want to, forget it," I suddenly felt a little upset.
Zhou Heng's tone was gentle, "I didn't say I didn't want to."
What does it mean to come to my house this time? Zhou Heng and I both understand. I don't feel embarrassed, but there is some joy in my heart.
"How did you manage to get time off from the temple?"
It should be the busiest time at Qingyun Temple, and Zhou Heng will be at my house for three days this time. I don't know if the master will approve.
He suddenly asked me, "Have you thought it through?"
Huh? I was stunned.
What have I thought through? For a moment, my mind went blank, and I didn't even know what was going on with myself.
We fell into silence for a good ten seconds. After a while, I finally spoke up and said, "My dad had a dream about my grandma, which is why he agreed to let you go back and meet the family."
He responded with a grunt, "Then I should probably get ready."
"Don't buy too many things."
"I know." I don't know what Zhou Heng is thinking at the moment, whether he feels that we are moving too fast. According to the normal process of dating between men and women, we are undoubtedly moving at a snail's pace. It's been a couple of months, and we've only held hands twice. Damn, my face turns as red as a monkey's butt just from holding hands!
Alas! Who would believe it if I said it out loud.
------
Busyness is the best interpretation of the fleeting time. Unconsciously, New Year's Day is just around the corner.
When there were only three days left on the calendar, it was the New Year's holiday, and I felt inexplicably nervous. What was I nervous about? I couldn't even say it myself. Yao Yao didn't know what times had come to me until she touched my shoulder, and then I came to my senses.
"What are you thinking about so deeply?"
"I casually said, 'Let's check the holiday dates.'
'You and Master Zhou are getting closer, huh?' Yao Yao teased me, making me feel a little embarrassed. I deliberately turned my head and took a sip of water from my cup."
"Wang Ze Let me give this to you."
Yao Yao suddenly took out a box, a long and narrow box that looked a bit worn, as if it had some history.
Wang Ze Why are you suddenly giving me a box?
I looked at the box in astonishment, not knowing what was inside. But it definitely didn't look like a gift; who would use this kind of box to wrap a gift?
I took the box, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted. Yao Yao actually helped Wang Ze pass something to me this time. According to her personality, Wang Ze would definitely not be able to move her.
Yao Yao patted my shoulder and said, "He asked me to tell you that he won't bother you anymore. He's returning this to you, consider it as cutting off his own thoughts."
My hand trembled, and the box in my hand felt even heavier.
"Actually, I think Wang Ze is quite pitiful too, he just took a wrong step. But that's how people are, they don't cherish what they have until they lose it and regret it."
Yao Yao said such words, I was very surprised. Ye Ling expressed her true feelings, she has been deeply hurt in love, and now seems to understand love even more than I do.
It doesn't matter what Wang Ze said to Yao Yao, I really don't blame him anymore. I just hope he can find his own happiness. Jingwan seems like a good girl, I just don't know if she will cherish it this time.
After Yao Yao left, I slowly opened the box, and the black Parker pen appeared before my eyes. Suddenly, I seemed to see my naive self, hiding the carefully selected gift behind me, and surprising Wang Ze when he least expected it.
"Birthday gift, no need to thank me, it goes well with your good writing."
Wang Ze's eyes were twinkling with stars, he just stared at me for a long time before gently taking the pen.
Because I knew, his family situation was not as good as mine, and this pen would be enough for his living expenses for a month.
Now, he has changed his own destiny.
Just as he vowed in his prime, he will no longer be looked down upon by others in this lifetime.
And at this moment, I can recall these things with such ease, as if they were light clouds and gentle breeze. This thing called emotional baggage, once untied, can truly set oneself free.
I hope he can do it too.
The author has something to say: In fact, I can only be considered as cultivating the mind and nurturing the spirit, not as practicing. I go to a quiet place every once in a while to enjoy a weekend life without hustle and bustle.
This time I went to Qingcheng Mountain.
Every day, as soon as I open the door, I see the mountain flowers in full bloom, and even the air carries a faint fragrance. Looking into the distance, all I see is green, which is especially calming.
Sharing a poem with the little fairy:
If you were to sleep in the mountains, your pillow would be the moon.
If you were thirsty in the night, you would drink from the Milky Way.
