Wen Yi's last sentence was clearly sharp, subtly implying that Gu Zeyu was a mama's boy.
These words hit Gu Zeyu's sore spot. His face darkened, and he finally couldn't hold back, "Wen Yi."
Wen Yi looked up and met Gu Zeyu's gaze.
"I was worried about you, so I came to ask how you were doing and if you needed any help."
"I don't need it. Leave Young Master Gu's worries and altruistic thoughts to Wen Ge."
"Do you know why I hesitated after choosing you?" Gu Zeyu brought up the past again.
When he went to the Wen family to propose marriage, it wasn't Wen Ge, whom everyone thought was the most suitable, but Wen Yi, who surprised everyone.
However, at that time, although Gu Zeyu chose Wen Yi, he was still making a decision most of the time and was not completely determined.
When Wen Yi remained silent, Gu Zeyu said, "I really hate you being like this, saying one thing and meaning another. You either don't speak at all, or when you do, you say things that others don't want to hear. You will never be able to stand on the stage with me, which is why I am hesitant."
"I know you're a famous director, and I know your abilities. But so what? All those abilities can be acquired in our industry with a little money. The refined air and manners that Wen Ge has cultivated are something you'll never have in your entire life."
Even if one day you stand at the top and are recognized for your excellence, you will still be a loser, still lost to Wen Ge. You will lose the refined and elegant demeanor that the Wen family has cultivated for over twenty years; you will simply be beneath them.
After saying this, Gu Zeyu, with a cold face, slammed the car door and drove into the bar.
Wen stood there, her face frozen.
My mind was filled with Gu Zeyu's words.
Even if one day she becomes so outstanding that the whole world recognizes her, she will still be the same so-called young lady from the countryside who embarrassed herself at the Wen family banquet and couldn't be presented in public.
She lost to Wen Ge not because she was better or worse, but because she lost to the more than twenty years of upbringing her parents had invested in Wen Ge.
She can never win in this lifetime, unless someone is willing to spend twenty years cultivating in her the same qualities that Wen Ge was cultivated in.
But who would be willing to give up those twenty years?
If even one's own parents are unwilling to give them these twenty years, then who would be willing to spend these twenty years?
Moreover, does Wen Yi still have twenty years left?
Wen Yi felt her eyes welling up with tears. She looked away, feeling a pang of pain in her heart.
She seemed to have found the answer at that moment.
It's not that her parents never saw her excellence, but rather that they knew they had devoted twenty years of their lives to Wen Ge and there was no other twenty years to give her.
Wen Yi clenched her fists and pressed them against her forehead, taking deep breaths repeatedly to calm herself down, but how easy is it to calm down an emotionally broken state?
She turned around and punched the car, but felt no pain in her hand.
Wen got into the car and started the engine, heading towards the bartender's address.
She tried hard to stop thinking about Gu Zeyu's hurtful words, forcing herself to tell herself that she was too busy dealing with the bartender's affairs to think about those things.
She suppressed her emotions.
The bartender lived in a rather remote place, in a desolate area with only two or three other houses, and the streetlights weren't very bright at night.
Unable to get the car in, Wen Yi had to park it on the side of the road and then search for it according to the address.
It was too late, and the few remaining houses all had their doors and windows tightly shut. Wen Yi had to search for them herself. The place was too small, so she kept going around in circles, trying to control her irritable emotions and force herself to handle the situation rationally.
After wandering around for nearly half an hour, Wen Yi finally found the bartender's house.
She knocked on the door, but there was no response.
It was quiet inside, and there were no lights. Wen Yi had a feeling that no one was inside, but she still knocked on the door and rang the doorbell as a matter of common sense.
As a result, no one answered the door to the bartender's house, and a neighbor spoke up directly. A man with tattooed arms yelled over, "What are you doing banging on the door? Are you making any noise?"
The other person was burly and had a loud voice; he was clearly someone who had been around in the streets. Wen Yi was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she forced herself to stay calm.
"I'm sorry, I'm looking for Lin Zhi."
"They moved out a long time ago." The tattooed man said impatiently, pointing at Wen Yi and warning, "Don't knock on the door again, or you'll be in big trouble."
"He..." Thud!
Before Wen Yi could finish speaking, the tattooed man slammed the door, causing the neighboring residents to lean out of their windows and start cursing at Wen Yi.
The insults were extremely vulgar, and Wen couldn't bear to listen to them or stay any longer, so she had to leave quickly.
Not long after leaving the bartender's house, Wen Yi was suddenly pushed from behind. She fell to the ground without noticing, and then felt someone press her head down, cover her eyes, and search her body, taking her phone, car keys, and other items.
By the time Wen broke free, the other party had already taken the valuables and left.
Wen Yi had just fallen into a puddle, and he was covered in dirty water, looking utterly disheveled.
She wasn't injured, but she lost her phone and car keys, so she couldn't get home.
Wen thought there should be a police station nearby, so she decided to go to the police station to report the incident and let the police find the person first. If they couldn't find the person, she would try to get back to Yutingyuan instead of staying here.
Wen Yi was actually very flustered and in a terrible mood, but she forced herself not to think about it and forced herself to deal with the situation calmly and rationally.
She kept forcing herself to calm down.
until……
She walked along this road for a very long time, and unexpectedly twisted her ankle. When she couldn't stand up because of the pain, Wen Yi could no longer force herself to calm down. Her terrible emotions could no longer be suppressed, and they completely collapsed with the pain in her ankle.
Wen Yi collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.
A thirty-year-old man, alone on an unfamiliar street, on such a night, weeping bitterly.
That was so embarrassing.
But Wen Yi couldn't control himself.
She didn't understand why she had to suffer all of this, starting from the bar, and why it had to be her.
How did it become her?
Why was it Wen Ge who was chosen and raised by her parents instead of her?
Why was it Wen Ge who was initially arranged to marry into the Gu family, and not her?
Why did Gu Huaixu, whom she was happily together with, still suffer an accident in the end?
Why?
Why is it so fair?
Her mind was filled with questions, resentment, and an inability to let go.
Wen Yi cried bitterly, and just then, a muffled rumble of thunder suddenly sounded from the gloomy sky, and a torrential downpour began, soaking Wen Yi to the bone.
However, Wen Yi still laughed out loud at this moment.
She found it ridiculous, utterly ridiculous. It turned out that her previous embarrassment was just that—embarrassment. There was no limit to how embarrassing it could get!
As Wen Yi sat laughing in the rain, she suddenly felt that she could no longer get wet. She looked up and saw someone standing next to her, holding a hand to shield her face...
