Chapter 255 The feeling of unrequited love is too painful

"My mom...and you?"

Yun Shu asked a question.

Zhou Qianzhong nodded: "Yes, we were together before you were born. Your mother never mentioned this."

Yun Shu shook her head: "I don't know anything about her past. She has never told me anything about it, including my father, whom I have never heard of."

Zhou Qianzhong took the initiative to say, "Actually, I was married to your mother back then. I knew your mother and we had a very good relationship, but my family didn't approve. Your family's financial situation wasn't good, so I married her behind my family's back. Later, my family found out and forcibly broke us up. I was determined to be with her, but your mother couldn't stand it and never wanted to see me again. After that, I didn't know where she went until the day I saw you..."

At this point, Zhou Qianzhong seemed to be thinking back to those days, and many other things.

"I don't know why, but I felt a special connection with you the first time I saw you. Then I asked Qianyu, and she told me that's how I found out that your mother is her. So I went to find her, but she still didn't want to see me."

Although I don't know exactly what my parents did to her back then, I believe she must have been deeply hurt. During this time, I went to see her several times, but she refused to see me..."

At this point, Zhou Qianzhong shook his head helplessly.

Yun Shu roughly understood. "If she doesn't want to see you, then it proves that it's in the past. What's past is past. Mr. Zhou, why are you still holding onto it?"

Zhou Qianzhong was stumped by the question and kept staring at her.

Yun Shu continued, "I know you've remarried, and my mother has definitely remarried as well. Although I don't know who my biological father is, it's not really appropriate for you to come to me and flirt with my mother."

Zhou Qianzhong felt very upset: "Yes, I struggled at home for a long time, but finally decided to come and find you. I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's nothing. You helped me once before, so I'm here to repay that favor. However, we probably won't see each other again."

Zhou Qianzhong lowered his head and remained silent for a long while before saying, "There are some things I don't know who to tell. Telling you might not be appropriate, but... I had no choice but to remarry back then. All these years, I've never had my wife in my heart. I even feel guilty towards my daughter. As for your mother..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yun Shu said, "That's enough! President Zhou, you came to see me today, and we talked. I understand how you feel. Everyone has their obsessions in this life, but the past is the past. I hope you can let go of them."

Zhou Qianzhong looked at her: "You're so young, yet you're so open-minded."

"There was no other way; I was forced to by life's circumstances."

Zhou Qianzhong suddenly thought of something: "Is there anything you need help with? You can tell me, and I'll do my best to help you."

Yun Shu stood up: "No need, Mr. Zhou. I hope today is the last time we meet. Waiter, the bill."

The waiter came over and glanced at Zhou Qianzhong first.

Zhou Qianzhong said to Yun Shu, "You don't need to pay."

"I'm only responsible for paying my share."

Yun Shu asked the waiter, and with Zhou Qianzhong's permission, the waiter told her the amount.

After paying, Yun Shu said goodbye to Zhou Qianzhong and left.

He kept staring at Yun Shu's figure; that moment just now felt like he had traveled back decades.

The same thing happened when he had his first meal with Yun Shu's mother. He said that he was a man and could treat her to a meal, but Yun Shu's mother said that just because he was a man, he couldn't expect her to treat him to everything. She also wanted to treat him.

Yun Shu's mother left a deep impression on him at that time.

He thought they would be together forever, but he gradually realized that some people can't stay with you forever. You have to face it eventually. She has her family, and you have yours.

When Yun Shu came out, she felt very uncomfortable, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She also felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to Zhou Qianzhong. Seeing him in distress made her feel uncomfortable, and she even wanted to get closer to him.

It was a bad feeling, so she stopped herself in time and ran out.

She definitely wouldn't like Zhou Qianzhong; he's old enough to be her father.

As they walked, two people approached from the front: Qin Yizhou and Zhou Qianzhong's daughter, Zhou Momo.

Zhou Momo clung tightly to Qin Yizhou's arm, her face beaming with a beautiful smile. Qin Yizhou seemed to be trying to shake her off, but his expression remained unreadable. To her, it looked like the two of them were just playing around.

Yun Shu instinctively tried to run, but Qin Yizhou spotted her.

"Yun Shu?"

Yun Shu stopped in her tracks, not daring to turn around.

Qin Yizhou had previously mentioned that his family was urging him to get married, and now that he and Zhou Momo are getting along very well, it seems their wedding is just around the corner.

Yun Shu felt terrible. Look, this day has finally come.

"Yun Shu, didn't you see me?"

Qin Yizhou came up to her and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Yun Shu composed herself and looked at him with a smile: "So it's Mr. Qin."

Yun Shu noticed that Zhou Momo was giving her an unfriendly look.

"What Mr. Qin? Just call me Yizhou, like Qianyu. I thought I was seeing things. By the way, how are you feeling? I was hoping you would call me, but I haven't received your call for a long time."

“It’s okay, I said it was okay at the time.”

Qin Yizhou laughed: "The only person who could get my number and not talk to me is you. Am I some kind of big bad wolf? Why are you so afraid of me?"

Every time he saw her, he seemed to enjoy teasing her, which Yun Shu really disliked, so she said to him:

"I have something to do, I'll be going now."

She walked incredibly fast, as if Qin Yizhou had a virus that could infect her.

Qin Yizhou called out, but Yun Shu didn't turn around. He stared at her back and muttered to himself, "She seems different from any other woman I know, and she's quite approachable."

Zhou Momo remembered it all.

She had just returned from studying abroad. She had liked Qin Yizhou since she was a child. When she heard that Qin Yizhou was getting married, she quickly contacted the Qin family and arranged for them to meet.

Zhou Momo had only been away from home for two or three years, and it was said that he hadn't had any girls around him during that time, but this girl named Yun Shu seemed a bit off.

She wanted to see what kind of person could catch his eye.

When Yun Shu returned home, her mother asked, "How was the socializing? Did no one bully you?"

Yun Shu wasn't good at lying, but she couldn't tell her mother either. Luckily, her mother was in the room, so she replied, "Yes, that's right. Nobody bullied me, Mom. I'm a little tired. I'll rest now."

She quickly returned to her room, lay on the bed, and covered herself with the blanket. Thinking about Qin Yizhou and Zhou Momo together, she felt extremely sad, and tears fell down her cheeks.

The feeling of having a crush is too painful.
