Chapter 119 Dong Shi Imitating Xi Shi
"Lin Dang, I'm leaving now. I have a board meeting tomorrow. The external enemies have been dealt with, only the internal ones remain." Yan Yan said goodbye to me as we left the restaurant.
“I have a video of the disturbance here. There’s someone in it who was egging us on, but we haven’t found out who it is yet. You were in a lot of trouble recently, so we thought we’d find out ourselves. I’ll send you the video when I get back; maybe you’ll have a clue.”
"Yes, thank you for your hard work these past few days. How's your recovery from the head injury?"
"Don't worry, I've already mastered these skills. These things are unavoidable for a reporter. But Chen Weiqi, my Yan Yan has really lost a lot of weight. You should learn from your brother!"
I deliberately pulled Chu Zhen in front of me.
"He can't learn it; he's just a poor imitation." When it comes to undermining someone, no one can compare to Chu Zhen.
"Alright, we'll head back now. Thank you for your hard work today." They were probably afraid of being embarrassed in front of us, because Chu Zhen's public displays of affection have become rather shameless.
Huang Yanyan originally had a pretty good idea of who in the company had ulterior motives. Later, after giving the victim's nephews some benefits, they immediately revealed that they were acting under someone's orders. The mastermind behind the scenes also surfaced. Combined with some materials that Chen Weiqi and Huang Yanyan had collected earlier, everything pointed to the company's vice president. We don't understand the company's operations very well, so we can only rely on Huang Yanyan. But at least the matter has come to an end.
Amy, however, disappeared without a trace after that conversation, as did Chu Zhen. Later, Chu Zhen also met with Chu Tian, but still no news of Amy; it was as if she had vanished from City A. But I didn't let my guard down. A woman's hatred isn't easily appeased, and besides, she had no reason to appease it. He Feng could have been a pawn in her game, but his simple-mindedness led him to easily ruin his own future.
"I want to go home to see my parents." It's been a long time since I've been back to City B, and I'm thinking of going home for the New Year's Day holiday.
Okay~
Chu Zhen usually has no objections to any of my ideas.
"The scar has faded quite a bit. Have you thanked them for giving you such a good ointment?"
My mother pulled me along, looking me up and down. Perhaps noticing that I hadn't lost weight, she focused her attention on my face.
"Of course we thank her. Grandma is a very kind person. Her grandson is studying at a university away from home, so we go to visit her and talk to her whenever we have time."
"That's how it should be; people must learn to be grateful."
Chu Zhen said that only in a family like this could someone with my personality be raised.
I asked him what kind of personality I had.
Kindness, integrity, confidence, and a love of life...
Chu Zhen used every word of virtue to describe me. I questioned whether he was making it up, but Chu Zhen said that from the moment he met me, he liked my personality. Appearance might make people take a second look, but good character can last.
We spent the entire three-day New Year's holiday in City B. My parents took Chu Zhen and me to the market and supermarket, introducing their son-in-law to everyone they met. During those days, we got to know the supermarket stockers, the market management staff, and the street vendors...
"Lin Dang, do you want to go back to your parents?"
Chu Zhen's question caught everyone off guard.
"I want to, and I even don't want to leave."
Okay, I understand.
Chu Zhen drove and changed the subject. We talked about the surrounding buildings and the music playing on the radio, but we never brought up this topic again.
It felt like all the turmoil was over, and we resumed our old routines. Since "Before Dawn" became a weekly show, my workload was relatively lighter, and Chu Zhen no longer went out every night, giving us more time to spend together. I also started learning to make soup and cook, and my skills improved considerably. We often went to the suburban villa to visit Professor Huang and Grandma, and sometimes Chu Tian would be there too. Apart from still calling him "Uncle," we were quite close, like family, though I never heard anything about Amy's mother.
Huang Yanyan and Chen Weiqi's feelings deepened because of what happened before. They specially recorded a dating show together, and Chen Weiqi took Huang Yanyan away on the spot. The ratings that day were soaring. Huang Yanyan even left the stage in tears. When she saw us backstage, she still couldn't control her emotions.
"Silly girl, isn't this what you've been waiting for? After all these years, we're finally together. You should be happy!"
As I said these words, I didn't realize that tears were already streaming down my face.
Yan Yan is a loyal and devoted person. From the year she graduated, she met Chen Weiqi and has always had only Chen Weiqi in her heart. In the end, she did not let him down. As the saying goes, true love is revealed in times of trouble.
Chen Weiqi joined Huang's as vice president. Although he was the vice president, he had practically replaced Yan Yan. Now Yan Yan and I have a lot more things to do and get together. As for Song Zhixiao, she disappears whenever she has time off. She either goes to B City or Zhao Zhengyu comes over. The two of them are having a very sweet long-distance relationship.
"How about the three of us have a wedding together?"
You never know what Song Ji-hyo is thinking. Not long ago she was shouting "Long live being single!" and now she's busy getting married.
"I've already organized one, but you two could get together~"
"What? You didn't even wear a wedding dress. You'll regret it later," Song Ji-hyo said excitedly.
"Why would I regret it? I think it's great. I've never liked crowds. Chu Zhen and I have been together for so many years, it would make me feel a little uncomfortable to wear a wedding dress."
"What about you? Shall we go together?" Song Ji-hyo tried to get to Huang Yanyan.
"No, no, I don't want to go with you. Your wedding will definitely be a sensation in City A, and I don't want to be your foil."
"Who wants to go with you? I'm worried that your Zhao Zhengyu will lead my Chen Weiqi astray."
"What do you mean my Zhao Zhengyu led Chen Weiqi astray?!"
"Isn't that right? Wasn't it Zhao Zhengyu who suggested going to the bar last time?"
"That was because Chen Weiqi couldn't control himself. Why didn't Chu Zhen go?"
The two women have started a new round of "Viva" mode~
I took out my earphones from my bag, listened to music, and picked up a book to read. These two will go from "Weifu" to "Xuanfu". As someone who has been through it all, I am completely unwilling to participate in it, even though I occasionally hear Chu Zhen's name pop out of their mouths.
For me, this is the most authentic life: two or three close friends, bickering and joking around, the occasional ripples in a mundane life.
When Chu Zhen came to pick me up, the two of them were still arguing. I didn't disturb them, so I picked up my bag and left. Maybe later in the group chat, they would label me as "better a woman than a friend," but who isn't like that?
