Father Meng was extremely emotional. He was a powerful figure in the business world who could remain calm even in the face of adversity. But now his face turned red and he waved his hands wildly, almost reaching Chu Yu's face.
Chu Yu's brows were tightly twisted into a knot.
He took a half step back to avoid Meng's father's aggressiveness.
"Uncle Meng, it's not that I don't want to take responsibility, but..."
Father Meng was practically yelling, "I've told you a hundred times, if you don't want to marry Yisi, you're irresponsible! I won't accept any other way!"
His voice was so loud that the entire corridor was alarmed, and several people popped their heads out of the wards to see what was going on.
Meng Yisi, who had been sent to the ward, rubbed his head in frustration and came out of the ward.
He lowered his voice and said, "Dad! Don't make such a loud noise here! Do you want others to laugh at our family?"
She seemed to be angry, she felt dizzy, her body tilted and she was about to fall to the ground.
"Yisi!"
Father Meng hurried forward to catch her.
He said to Chu Yu, "I'll talk to you later!" and then hurriedly helped Meng Yisi into the ward.
Lin Feiran was standing behind, watching the whole process and remained silent.
At this time, she took a deep breath.
He took a step forward and walked behind Chu Yu.
I whispered to him, "Let's go out for a while. I have something to tell you."
Chu Yu turned to look at her, and as if he had a premonition of something, his face suddenly turned pale.
His lips moved, but in the end he said nothing and walked out with Lin Feiran.
At this time, the sun rose outside and it was already morning.
Lin Feiran drove and took Chu Yu to a Western restaurant near the hospital.
This western restaurant serves breakfast and is now open, but because it is still early, there are not many customers inside and it is very quiet.
As soon as Chu Yu saw this, he remembered that this was the restaurant that Lin Feiran invited him to dinner for the first time!
At that time, it was because he helped Lin Feiran, and she wanted to treat him to a meal to express her gratitude.
He remembered that he had dressed up meticulously, while she was in her usual work attire. Because her menu didn't have prices, she couldn't see how much it would cost, so she looked distressed. In the end, he secretly arranged for the restaurant to hold a raffle, and the meal was free for her. She was overjoyed, smiling all the way home...
Countless memories came flooding back like a tide.
Chu Yu stood in this familiar place, looking at everything around him.
The restaurant still had that romantic and beautiful decoration and layout, with an ambiguous atmosphere everywhere, which was perfect for couples to date. But their relationship had already...
Things are different, people are different, everything is over.
Lin Feiran found a table in the corner by the window and sat down.
The waiter came over immediately and put a bouquet of fresh roses in the vase on their table.
The bright color usually looks gorgeous and warm, representing passionate love, but now it feels dazzling.
Lin Feiran ordered the dishes. Since there were no other customers in the restaurant, the dishes came quickly and the table was full in no time.
Lin Feiran poured hot tea for Chu Yu: "Eat it, breakfast should be delicious."
Chu Yu felt as if something sour, bitter and astringent was stuck in his throat, making it impossible for him to eat anything. He only took a few symbolic bites.
Lin Feiran ate very seriously and finished it all slowly.
Finally, she put down her knife and fork, slowly raised her eyes and looked at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu's heart felt like a tightly stretched string, as if a giant sword of judgment was hanging over his head, about to fall.
Lin Feiran said softly: "Let's stop here."
Chu Yu had already anticipated that this was what Lin Feiran was going to say, but his expression still changed suddenly.
"No! I don't agree! How can you just give up like this before we even get to the final stage?..."
Lin Feiran's face showed neither joy nor anger, only a faint sadness.
She interrupted Chu Yu, her voice calm, and in this calmness, there was a kind of gray exhaustion like embers.
"Isn't this enough? If the Meng family doesn't give in, are you going to keep dragging it out like this? Then we won't be able to get through this."
Chu Yu wanted to argue: "I..."
Lin Feiran continued, "You can't completely ignore Meng Yisi. Let's say you finally reached an agreement. The Meng family agreed that you don't have to marry Meng Yisi, but you still have to take care of her and the child. That's not the future I want."
"Father Meng came to me last night and wanted me to leave you. He said a lot, which objectively speaking made a lot of sense. Especially one of his words: Now that Meng Yisi is pregnant with your child, the three of you are a true family of three. Even if I stay with you, we are destined to never be happy and harmonious.
"For example, last night, Meng Yisi had an accident, and you had to accompany her because you have a child together. This kind of thing will inevitably happen countless times in the future. Her prenatal checkups, childbirth, confinement, your child's illness, hospitalization, birthdays... all kinds of events, big and small, you can't be absent because you are her father and you must bear this responsibility.
"What about me? How awkward would that position be for me? Am I going to have to watch you raise your and Meng Yisi's child?"
Lin Feiran sighed deeply.
"I'm sorry... I don't mean to blame you. You're a good person. It's just that we really can't go on in this situation. I'm already feeling very tired. When I think about this future, I feel completely dark. I don't see any hope of persevering."
