Rebirth of a Turbulent Life
November was approaching quickly, and the air was gradually becoming colder. Although the occasional frost melted away under the sunlight, it completely signified the arrival of winter.
The current capital city was not the same as the one in the future, where the next snowfall would be astonishing. Snow was merely a regular occurrence of winter, and snow layers that buried one's knees were not unheard of.
In front of Jiang Yizhou's residence, the brilliant Ginkgo Tree had shed its leaves overnight, which quickly fell in a flurry.
The door opened, and a man walked out carrying a suitcase.
Song Rushi held Jiang Yizhou's hand, tightly wrapping his scarf and smoothing out the wrinkles in his clothes, resembling a wife. A sweet smile that lingered at the corners of her mouth comforted Jiang Yizhou's heart.
Since learning about Song Rushi's pregnancy, Jiang Yizhou cherished her like a treasure, persistently coaxing her until she reluctantly moved into this residence.
However, he did not inform his family; it was better to wait until everything was settled. Although he accepted Song Rushi and their child as a bond that could not be ignored, Jiang Yizhou still fearfully insisted on remaining unmarried.
Song Rushi felt somewhat unwilling but was already satisfied that this man had compromised to such an extent. She did not press further.
Perhaps as long as she held onto him tightly, preventing him from straying, she could consider herself the de facto mistress of this home.
With this thought in mind, after moving in, Song Rushi did not make significant changes but left traces of her presence as the mistress everywhere, taking over the man's taste in life, just as she had done in Silicon Valley.
"As such, if you want to go, why not go together? What are you really doing?" Seeing Song Rushi's conflicted expression, Jiang Yizhou straightforwardly pierced through her thoughts. The tickets had originally been booked for two; he did not understand why she suddenly backed out of this trip.
"What am I going for? I have my own things to take care of!" Song Rushi immediately put on a spoiled smile. "Hurry up; otherwise, we’ll miss the flight!"
"…"
Sitting in the company car, Jiang Yizhou and Xu Xin sat side by side in the back seat. This time it was not just about Google’s Series A financing issue; that was merely a matter of course. The current Google search engine had already produced quite impressive results; the only consideration now was about shares.
There were also failed transactions and the establishment of Yahoo China; these two matters involved much more and needed to be considered from all angles. Since they pertained to domestic assets, Xu Xin was required to handle them due to his involvement with domestic investments.
"Boss, after seeing you two together for so long, have you finally sorted things out?" Although the matter concerning the child couldn't be publicly announced, there was no hesitation in discussing the relationship with Song Rushi.
Xu Xin had also adapted to Jiang Yizhou's more casual and friendly way of speaking, so she teased him like this.
"What’s there to say? Women are just hard to please!" This was Jiang Yizhou's true feelings, especially since he found himself in a somewhat vulnerable position. This made him reflect and gradually get used to it.
Of course, with more experience in the future, he would naturally break free from this uncontrollable joy and would no longer feel so vulnerable.
Life is like that! The first time is always nerve-wracking. As a new father, the shock of having a continuation of his life was deeply ingrained in him, making him feel that being vulnerable was not a hindrance at all.
"I don’t see it that way! You’re such a henpecked husband~~" The submissive demeanor was completely different from the Jiang Yizhou she remembered as someone who could command respect; he now seemed like an ordinary man afraid of his wife.
Jiang Yizhou couldn't explain anything and simply fell silent. Xu Xin also wisely refrained from joking further; a little teasing is fine, but too much can easily damage relationships, especially with a superior.
...
As Jiang Yizhou and his group headed to the airport, Song Rushi arrived at the location of the startup team with mixed feelings.
Her relationship with the man had returned to normal, even becoming more intimate. Thus, this startup project named Alumni Network received significant investment from Zhengyi Technology, alleviating concerns about financial instability—it felt like being taken under their wing.
Since Alumni Network aligned well with QQ, the team that had initially received investment from Jiang Yizhou was already on Zhengyi Technology's acquisition list. This time they simply took advantage of the startup team's changes to secure their acquisition early.
The reason she didn't want to go abroad and travel with the man was that as her own fortunes rose, she increasingly felt guilty towards Lu Feiyan.
Even though she hadn't done anything herself, including getting pregnant, it was undoubtedly the man's contribution—like a stroke of good fortune.
In contrast, Ding Zhengnan had disappeared; although nothing serious happened, he was heartbroken over a breakup. Meanwhile, Lu Feiyan was worried sick about her niece.
It felt as if her happiness was built on the suffering of others, even if that wasn't entirely true.
"Fei Yan, you came so early!" Upon seeing Lu Feiyan already seated in the private room, Song Rushi was first surprised and then filled with deep guilt. Many things cannot be judged simply by right or wrong.
Lu Feiyan was somewhat neglectful in her appearance, with messy, dry hair, heavy dark circles under her eyes, and a lost expression that made Song Rushi involuntarily take the blame upon herself.
What could she do? No one knew that being pregnant could cause such a drastic change in a man's attitude. Even when she tried to explain it to Lu Feiyan, the latter looked completely unconvinced.
In the warm, spring-like private room, the steam from the hot tea floated upwards, creating a quietly unsettling atmosphere. Song Rushi really liked the ambiance here, but not at this moment.
As Lu Feiyan stirred her teacup, she casually said, "I got in touch with Ding Zhengnan. She's doing well, quite well actually, and she asked me to send her blessings to you!"
"That's good, that's good!" Song Rushi was someone who cared deeply about the feelings of those around her and was somewhat reliant on others. Hearing Lu Feiyan say this eased her heart by half.
"Sister Ding... is there anything else?"
"Nothing much, it's all in the past. She doesn't want anything; she just hopes you can really manage that man! He's not a settled man; it's only a matter of time!"
Lu Feiyan never had high hopes for Jiang Yizhou, and she held a pessimistic view of his past relationship with her niece. As expected...
However, when Lu Feiyan recalled the strange tone of her niece during their communication—somewhat self-destructive yet very determined—she couldn't understand what Ding Zhengnan, who usually had strong opinions, might do next.
