Reality
"Eat, drink, don't just stare," Du Qiming said to everyone. He was treating everyone to a meal today. Since Du Qiming had been working abroad for years and was returning home on a rare occasion, he had gathered a group of familiar friends to get together.
Some of these people were business partners I'd dealt with frequently before, or friends I'd made in the village or town. It was truly a stroke of fate to be able to connect again after so many years. Naturally, there was endless conversation and endless drinking to be had during this meeting.
Du Qiming has always had a good alcohol tolerance. After getting everyone else drunk, he can only drink by himself.
Feng Yun watched Du Qiming drink too much and finally couldn't help but speak up to stop him. "Stop drinking! If you drink any more, I don't think you'll be able to get home."
"If I can't get in, then I can't get in. I don't care. All I do is give me a hard time." As soon as he talked about starting his family, Du Qiming began to complain bitterly. "She's been working abroad for years, and she's seen a lot and gained a lot of experience. She looks down on me even more. It's so hard for me to be alone abroad. I work every day, and I earn my money through hard work."
"I transferred all my money to my mom's account. Don't tell me, even though she's often confused, she never makes mistakes when it comes to money. She knew how to transfer the money to the card and even told Du Lin the password. Then she found out about this and said I was being wary of her and treating her like an outsider. She started clamoring for a divorce and kept telling me about it every time we called."
"I was so fed up with her that I actually agreed to a divorce. She bombarded me with phone calls, crying and screaming, but I've just been able to get by all these years. This time, I came back thinking I had enough money, so I decided to buy a house. I took her to look at houses, but she kept liking the ones she couldn't afford. I didn't even bother looking anymore and let her go on her own, but she scolded me."
"I really don't know what she's thinking. She knows how much money she has, but she's looking at this house while thinking about other houses. It's pointless for her to look at houses this way. I got annoyed and suggested she put some money aside and maybe she could afford it. Then she started to scold me, asking if I looked down on her and thought she didn't have money."
"How could I dare look down on her? She keeps saying I'm on guard against her, as if she's forgotten everything she did in the past. She just loves giving money to her brothers from her mother's family. She gets involved in everything, always willing to pay. I don't dare look down on her. I figured she should have saved up a lot of money over the years, but she reacted so strongly to my talk. I guess she's been giving them a lot of money over the years."
After a long series of complaints, Du Qiming felt relieved for a moment and began to care for Feng Yun. "What are your plans for the future? You're always running around. Why don't you just settle down and settle down? Your daughter's already in college, so it's time for you to find someone who understands you and settle down with you."
"I don't have such an idea. Don't worry about me. I don't think I have the ability to start a family, and there is no need. I will follow my daughter now. When she graduates, I will go to whichever city she goes to develop in." Feng Yun waved his hand to refuse. He had been here alone for many years. He didn't need anyone's company at all, and he had no such idea at all.
Seeing him like this, Du Qiming stopped trying to persuade him. He thought about what he had heard about Shi Yiqing's recent situation. She was actually happy, with both a son and a daughter, and was not affected by the past at all. It was a pity that his brother was heartbroken and had to be alone. Shi Yiqing was really too cruel and resolute.
The past just kept coming back to him. He didn't know what had come to mind, but his expression suddenly froze, and he glanced at Feng Yun beside him with a guilty look. Honestly, Shi Yiqing and Feng Yun were once known as a perfect match. Besides their looks, they also had the talent. Feng Yun had a knack for making money, while Shi Yiqing had always excelled in school and was responsible in everything she did.
During that period, Du Qiming's care for Shi Yiqing was genuine, and his feelings for her were also genuine.
He admitted that he was dirty, but he could restrain himself. He would not do such a cruel thing, and Shi Yiqing, who was completely unaware of the situation, was even less likely to respond.
So it was almost as if nothing had happened. He was in his right mind and naturally would not take the initiative to mention it to Feng Yun, so no one except him would know about it.
"Shi Shi has a bright future and will definitely bring you honor in the future." Du Qiming turned to talk about Shi Shi. She was very similar to Shi Yiqing. He suddenly remembered that Shi Yiqing found a very good job after graduation. He didn't know what happened afterwards. She got married with Brother Feng and stopped working. The two returned to their hometown to open a store.
"I just hope that she is safe and happy, and can always do what she likes." Feng Yun took a sip of wine, and his somewhat confused mind couldn't help but recall some fragments.
This world is cruel and realistic. He will never forget Shi Yiqing's state and changes during that period when she happily went to work after finding a job.
Shi Yiqing was very talented, but big cities were no shortage of such people. Anyone who could come here from a small town to study and develop their careers couldn't be much less capable than her. Shi Yiqing had thoroughly prepared for this job.
But in a company, excellence isn't a surefire way to get ahead. There are many rules of the workplace that a newcomer like her couldn't fully grasp, nor could she withstand the malice, exclusion, and slander of others. A brilliant newcomer without experience or background would be an eyesore to some, a roadblock to others. While some might be indifferent and ignore her, others might deliberately approach her with ill intentions and exploit her.
Young Shi Yiqing couldn't cope with all this at first, and he had no way to help her. He could only watch the light in her eyes dim little by little until it disappeared completely.
During the time when Shi Yiqing finished college and slowly adapted to the workplace, he was not idle either. When he first came to this city, he had no connections and could only work manual labor on construction sites so that he could pay for Shi Yiqing's college tuition. Later, he found a job selling auto parts, and then by chance he met some rich second-generations and came into contact with the circle of modified cars. He became an apprentice, got familiar with them, took orders, made a lot of money, and opened his own auto repair shop.
Their lives finally got better.
So, he thought about getting married.
They have been together for so many years and only have each other. In his opinion, getting married is a natural thing.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yiqing was always unwilling and said to wait until she was made a regular employee. After she was made a regular employee, she said she would wait until she finished this project.
Keep delaying.
Gradually he stopped mentioning it.
In the end, it was Shi Yiqing who took the initiative to propose marriage.
