After Zhou Chufei went to prison, Chu Yu never went to see him. Some people are better left unseen than met.

After Zhou Chufei went to prison, He Meili went to see him and said she would wait for him and not get married, but Zhou Chufei refused. Later, He Meili's mother asked her to go on blind dates and forbade her from continuing to come and go with Zhou Chufei.

At her family's insistence, He Meili married an office worker.

Seven years later, Zhou Chufei was released from prison after serving his sentence. On the day of his release, Chu Yu went to see him.

Chu Yu was already in her forties at this time, but she was still young and beautiful with a slender figure.

Zhou Chufei was surprised that his sister had become so outstanding, and felt a little ashamed of himself. He lowered his head and dared not look at her.

Zhou Chufei has changed a lot. He seems to have become more silent and composed. The years of reformatory life have left some marks on him.

But he didn't seem as annoying as he remembered.

In Chu Yu's memory, Zhou Chufei was an annoying chubby boy who made her want to beat him up. That was her impression of Zhou Chufei. Unexpectedly, in a corner she couldn't see, Zhou Chufei grew taller and thinner, and the two siblings started to look more and more alike.

Chu Yu decided to let go of the past and make peace with herself.

In a sense, Zhou Chufei was also a victim.

However, when everyone is caught up in the situation, they often can't see the big picture.

Chu Yu tossed him a card. "There's a million Hong Kong dollars in here. It's my start-up fund for you. Go find something to do and start over. Times are changing fast. This isn't the era we used to live in. People have to move forward. Once you stop and look back, it's easy to be dragged down by the past."

After Chu Yu finished speaking, she turned around and was about to get into the car.

She drove a black sedan, inside which were two exceptionally beautiful children, their eyes wide and wearing glasses, curiously observing Zhou Chufei.

Zhou Chufei kept his head down, feeling inferior under their gaze.

Just as Chu Yu was about to get into the car, Zhou Chufei suddenly shouted:

"sister."

Zhou Chuyu was stunned for a moment before slowly humming in agreement.

"Thank you." Zhou Chufei said, tears falling to the ground. Chu Yu didn't say anything, turned around and got into the car.

Zhou Chufei didn't squander the one million yuan Chu Yu gave him. He spent some of it to learn how to make stinky tofu on the mainland and opened a stinky tofu shop back in Hong Kong.

Zhou Chufei is hardworking and has chosen a good storefront. In addition, his stinky tofu tastes very authentic. In recent years, the tourism industry in Gangcheng has been very developed, and there are many tourists every day. Zhou Chufei's stinky tofu is getting better and better. His shop is famous far and wide, and has even become a must-eat shop in Gangcheng according to many people!

The stinky tofu shop looks inconspicuous, but prices are high in the port city, and Zhou Chufei can earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a day.

His business became very busy, and he worked hard every day, and soon opened a branch.

One day, a woman came to his place and tried to take advantage of him. Zhou Chufei recognized the voice and looked up to find that it was He Meili.

Seven years have passed, and He Meili has grown old as expected. She is a little different from when she was young; she doesn't laugh as much as she used to, but her eyes are still warm.

He Meili was also a little surprised to see Zhou Chufei.

He's out of prison?

In fact, He Meili had always known that Zhou Chufei would be released from prison this year, but she thought that she and Zhou Chufei would never cross paths again.

Who would have thought that the couple, who were about to get married, would meet here?

Zhou Chufei's store was doing well and was well-known in the neighborhood. He Meili had heard about it from her friends many times and finally decided to come and eat there. She didn't expect that the store was owned by Zhou Chufei.

"When did you come out?" He Meili asked.

Zhou Chufei smiled. After his business improved, he became much more confident and less silent than before.

"I've been out for a while now."

"Where did you get the money to open a shop?" He Meili asked curiously.

"Oh, my sister gave it to me. She gave me some money, but I couldn't bear to spend it. I saved it all the time and used a small portion of it to open a shop. Who knew it would do so well, so I've been running it ever since." Zhou Chufei stared at He Meili, as if trying to see if she was doing well or not. Isn't it said that whether a person is doing well or not is reflected on their face?

Zhou Chufei felt that He Meili didn't smile as much as before.

"And you? How are you doing?" Zhou Chufei asked.

He Meili smiled somewhat awkwardly, "I got divorced last year. He seemed like a good person, but he was abusive. I was beaten several times, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I divorced him."

Zhou Chufei's fists hardened. "Why did he hit you?"

“I can’t have children. He said I’ve been with too many men in the past, and we often argue. He has a good job, is a gentleman, and is very polite. Everyone thinks that it’s my fault that we argue. I didn’t dare to tell my parents about being beaten, so he became even more unscrupulous. Eventually, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I divorced him.”

He Meili's words angered Zhou Chufei.

Should women be beaten if they can't have children?

He loved He Meili with trepidation, but could never have her; she obtained him easily but did not cherish him.

Zhou Chufei made her a plate of stinky tofu, and He Meili offered to pay, but Zhou Chufei refused.

He Meili smiled, took the stinky tofu, and left.

Only after she had walked away did Zhou Chufei put down what he was holding and chase after her.

He stopped He Meili and asked her if she would consider him. He hadn't looked for anyone since he left, he didn't have a girlfriend or get married, his career was stable, and he made stinky tofu, which she loved. He had saved up some money, enough to buy a house. If He Meili was willing, they could get married.

He didn't care whether He Meili could have children; he felt those things were unimportant.

Zhou Chufei felt that his and Zhou Jian'an's genes weren't very good, and he didn't really want children, fearing that they would inherit his coldness and ruthlessness.

He Meili listened to Zhou Chufei's words, ate the still-warm stinky tofu, and silently began to cry.

Just now, she made a bet with herself: if Zhou Chufei chased after her, she would be with him.

Zhou Chufei pulled her into his arms, and He Meili broke down in tears. The two of them went to get their marriage certificate.

The two lived a pretty good life. I heard that Zhou Chufei's stinky tofu shop opened several branches. The following year, He Meili became pregnant unexpectedly and gave birth to a daughter. The three of them got the best ending.

Hearing about Zhou Chufei's current situation, Chu Yu felt a little emotional. The two of them had come together after going through so many twists and turns. Although it had nothing to do with Chu Yu, she was still happy for them.

After all, the past is the past, and the future is still long.
