The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 653 The Rich Girl with a Terminal Illness (18)
The stars are clearly visible in the countryside at night. The cicadas and frogs are chirping, which sounds quite interesting.
Under the rattan tree frame, there are small tables and chairs. The red wine on the rattan table is eye-catching, and the red wine in the glass next to it exudes a delicious fragrance.
Wei Lan and Chen Heng sat face to face, staring at each other, waiting for the other to speak.
"I agree to your terms." Wei Lan picked up the red wine that had been poured long ago and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing her drinking, Chen Heng felt that she was selfless and wanted to laugh secretly, but in front of Wei Lan, he still kept his airs and looked serious, as if he was not moved by Wei Lan's behavior.
"It's a little late now, the conditions have changed." He wanted to see how far she could break the bottom line for Wan Shiyi. Speaking of which, he was really jealous of Wan Shiyi, who was able to receive such sincere treatment from her. Unlike him, he was ignored even though he tried to get what he wanted. It's true that comparing yourself to others can really make you angry.
"Why?" Wei Lan put down the cup and looked at him with her lips rubbing, expecting him to give her a reasonable explanation.
God knows how long she had been angry when she came to him tonight.
"No reason, if you agree, we will continue the deal. If you don't agree, let it go." Chen Heng picked up the red wine glass with a cold face, hooked his fingers on the glass and shook it slowly. He was sure that she would agree.
"Okay. I agree. You tell me the conditions. The current conditions." Sure enough, Wei Lan didn't even think for a few seconds, and gave him an answer with a pout.
"After you invite a doctor, you and I will go abroad." Chen Heng slowly stated his changed conditions and raised three fingers, "Three years, three years, you are not allowed to return to China. But during this period of time, you are allowed to contact your friends in China." Anyway, she only had Wan Shiyi as a friend to contact.
"Didn't we agree before that we would only be alone together for one year?" Wei Lan's face was full of disbelief. "What will you do with your business in China in three years?"
The internal struggles of big families are not as simple as they seem on the surface. They are even more intense in private. This is true for the Wei family and the Chen family.
"I was a little confident in myself before, and I thought that one year would be enough to make you change your mind." Chen Heng stared at her hands that were intertwined because of her confusion, and said gently, "In the past few days, your performance has told me that I overestimated myself."
"Chen Heng, are you crazy? Three years! It's three years!" Wei Lan kept twisting her fingers. She was really surprised that he changed the conditions.
"Yes. I will fight for you in three years. I think it's worth it." Chen Heng raised his glass to hers and drank the wine-red liquid contentedly.
He didn't like to drink red wine, but sometimes, red wine was a must-celebration.
When he heard that she was considering from his perspective, he could be sure that she had him in her heart. Then, his three years would not be in vain. After all, she was more important than anything else he had.
————-
Since Zhu Jin's last conversation with Zou Xiuyu on the top floor of the hospital, she hasn't seen him for more than half a month.
Her aunt, who originally had a little hope for Chen Heng, completely gave up when she saw him leaving the village with other wealthy businessmen.
Later, a big investor and a big artist came to the village to collect folk songs. They were amazed by Zou Xiuyu's works, and they joined forces to make Zou Xiuyu a phenomenal painter. Zou Xiuyu's rich days are just around the corner, and she urges Zhu Jin to coax Zou Xiuyu back every day.
However, she has seen Zhu Jin's performance these days. I'm afraid there will be no chance of getting back together with Zou Xiuyu.
Zhu Jin secretly came to the place where she and Zou Xiuyu often met today without telling her aunt.
She originally wanted to commemorate her past feelings with Zou Xiuyu, but she didn't expect to run into Hong Gu having an affair with an old man. Two elderly people over fifty years old are much more passionate than young people in this matter. She took a quick look and blushed. When she ran away, she accidentally stepped on the tiles on the ground and fell. She
was almost discovered by the two old men, but Wan Shiyi, who fell from the sky, grabbed her hand. The two turned a few corners and arrived at an empty waterside.
"Why did you lend me a hand!" After making sure it was safe here, she shook off Shiyi's hand.
She still remembers the light in Zou Xiuyu's eyes when he talked about the beautiful things about the girl in front of him. That was something she had seen and was familiar with. Now, she no longer has it. Shiyi
was not angry. She loosened her wrist, picked up a small stone, and threw it into the water. Her tone was light, "I just happened to pass by."
"Is it that simple?" Zhu Jin didn't believe that the girl in front of her had such a good heart.
Zou Xiuyu had been with her for several years and was loyal to her. After meeting the girl in front of him, he seemed to have become a different person.
"Are you here to announce your victory?" She looked at Shiyi coldly, her mouth was pursed into a straight line, and her whole body was tense, like a small animal that had been violated.
"Victory?" Shi Yi looked at her nonchalantly and asked, "What victory did I have?"
"You won Zou Xiuyu's heart, you should be very happy. So, you want to ridicule me. Ridicule me, a fool." Zhu Jin tilted her head and looked at her. She didn't want to lose the last bit of dignity.
"Zhu Jin." Shi Yi called her name solemnly, but couldn't help laughing, "Are you a child?"
Zhu Jin found that she looked really beautiful when she laughed, just like the rich and beautiful flowers in the world, without any sorrow. If only I could have everything she had.
"You want to have what I have, right? "
Could she read minds? Zhu Jin hurriedly lowered her head to avoid eye contact with her.
She remembered that it was written in the book that people read minds through eyes.
"If you can endure the life experience of not having relatives to take care of you, fainting from time to time, a predetermined life, and trying hard but still not being able to catch the passing of time, you won't think so." Shi Yi walked to her side, bent down, and applied the plant juice that he had just rubbed on her.
"You are so nice to me, why!" Zhu Jin knew that she was applying herbs to stop bleeding on her injured ankle, and did not avoid it.
"Because I envy you." Shi stood up, but fell straight back.
"Shi Yi, what happened to you?" Zou Xiu Yu rushed over and saw her fall down in front of Zhu Jin. When he picked her up, he couldn't help but glared at Zhu Jin.
"I didn't! I didn't!" Zhu Jin couldn't help but defend himself. He looked at the girl in his arms. Her face was as pale as paper. He wanted to feel her pulse, but was pushed away.
