Chapter 1351: Chapter 1223: Song Yansheng’s Appearance
Song Yansheng drove away with Shi Nuan and Ye Mingmei through another route.
But they remained extremely cautious all the way until the car got onto the main road, at which point Shi Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Song Yansheng couldn’t help but smile and asked, "Nuannuan, are you scared?"
Shi Nuan pursed her lips and said, "I’ve witnessed how sharp-tongued the journalists can be. If we really got blocked by them at the stadium, tomorrow’s news would definitely be sensational. Besides, isn’t Second Uncle going to give a speech at T University the day after tomorrow? It’s not good to have such news stir up before that!"
Song Yansheng nodded, "Yes, Nuannuan is right!"
Ye Mingmei pouted and said, "Brother Yu is really good to little sister-in-law. Whatever she says goes, it’s enviable. If only I could meet a man like Brother Yu in the future!"
Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan exchanged a glance, but didn’t say anything.
After all, regarding the matter between Ye Mingmei and Gu Zheng, persuasion from them wouldn’t be effective.
Moreover, the key is in Gu Zheng; if he refuses to let go of his stubbornness, even if Ye Mingmei understands the meaning of love, it would only add another heartbroken person.
...
That day, Chu Jingyun went grocery shopping with Lady Chu after work.
Recently, Mr. Chu’s appetite hasn’t been good, so Lady Chu tried to make meals for him.
Even Chu Jingyun, who was usually busy with work, frequently visited Mr. Chu during this time.
Lady Chu even suggested for Chu Jingyun to move back home, but Chu Jingyun refused.
The reason being the current place is close to school, convenient for everything, and she also doesn’t want to add more worry to Mr. Chu by coming home every day.
Lady Chu understood what Chu Jingyun meant and said, "Since you know your father worries about you, why won’t you let go of your obsession and find a reliable, honest person to live peacefully with?"
Chu Jingyun said, "Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I’ve lost the ability to want. You’re also a woman, you should understand that feeling —the feeling of meeting someone after which everyone else just seems like settling."
Lady Chu felt saddened listening to this, but it concerns her daughter’s lifelong happiness. Song Yansheng is indifferent to her daughter, and her daughter is no longer young; she can’t wait like this forever.
Lady Chu said, "I understand, but Jingyun, precisely because I’m a woman, I know how important it is for a woman to choose the right man. If mutual feelings aren’t possible, it’s better to choose someone who loves you rather than someone you love, do you understand?"
Chu Jingyun nodded, "I understand, Mother, so I’m giving myself one last chance... I’m almost twenty-eight this year. If by twenty-nine it’s still impossible between us, I’ll accept it, and then I won’t object to whoever you and Father want me to marry. But for now, please show me some understanding..."
Lady Chu knew her daughter’s stubbornness and didn’t say anything further.
The two of them had mostly finished shopping and were about to head to the cashier when Lady Chu suddenly remembered she forgot to buy Mr. Chu’s favorite bamboo shoots.
So she asked Chu Jingyun to wait while she went to get the bamboo shoots.
Chu Jingyun leaned against the shopping cart, waiting idly, her gaze occasionally scanning over the people in the supermarket.
There were quite a few people in the supermarket at this time, some even with their whole families.
There were also couples and lovers.
The men pushed the carts while the women held onto their arms, that scene was truly harmonious and beautiful.
Worldly love, however sweet and pleasant happiness can be, even if not personally experienced by Chu Jingyun, is imaginable.
She yearned for such an enduring relationship and always believed she could have it.
But fate led her to meet Song Yansheng, a man whose heart belonged elsewhere, and couldn’t love her.
Yes, Chu Jingyun always thought the reason Song Yansheng didn’t have feelings for her was because he already had someone in his heart.
Just like she has Song Yansheng in her heart, even if Lin Junyi were any better, she couldn’t place him in her heart.
She resented not being Shi Nuan and why Shi Nuan preemptively took her place in Song Yansheng’s heart.
But it’s useless; at this point, no matter what she says or does, it’s in vain.
With a hint of sadness, she lowered her head, when suddenly a clear and melodious voice reached her ears.
It was a girl’s voice calling, "Brother Yu, little sister-in-law, hurry up..."
The word "Yu" was extremely sensitive to her, so she immediately lifted her head and looked in the direction of the sound.
