Before getting into the car, Wen looked back once more.
Wen Yi's parents, Wen Ge, and the Wen family's butler all stood at the door to see Wen Yi off.
They knew very well that once Wen Yi got into the car and met the Second Master, it was already decided that she would marry into the Imperial Garden. Even if Wen Yi wanted to back out, she couldn't.
Wen Yi was about to get into the car, but she turned back and hugged her parents.
She was too quiet since childhood and never said "I love you" to her parents, let alone hugged them like this, which stunned her father in an instant.
Wen hugged her tightly, and then hugged her mother.
Wen's mother reacted quickly, patting Wen Yi on the back, "Hey, what are you doing? It's not like you're getting married right away. Besides, modern times aren't ancient times. Even if you get married, you can come back anytime."
"Does Mom think I'll be able to come back after this substitute marriage?" Wen Yi suddenly whispered in her mother's ear.
Mother Wen was slightly stunned.
Wen Yi continued, "I'm just worried that after I have dinner with Second Master tonight, I might be taken directly to the Imperial Garden and never be able to come back."
After she finished speaking, she let go of her mother and hugged Wen Ge, saying, "Remember what you promised me, little sister."
"Don't worry, sister, I'll get the things and give them to them right away," Wen Ge said softly.
Wen nodded and released Wen Ge, taking one last look at her family. She clearly saw that her mother's eyes were red.
Wen Yi had no idea whether her mother was feeling sorry for her or whether her eyes were red because of what she had just said, but it didn't matter anymore.
This is the final farewell.
Wen Yi withdrew her gaze, turned around, and got into the car.
The driver drove away from the Wen family's residence, but halfway there, the car suddenly changed direction and headed towards the airport.
The car stopped at the airport.
Wen Yi handed the driver an envelope containing money, saying, "Thank you."
"You're too kind, Miss." The driver was an experienced driver for the Wen family.
Today is the last day working for the Wen family. After dropping off Wen Yi, he drove straight back to his hometown. The car has been transferred to his name, and the Wen family has settled accounts for all his companies over the years.
Wen Yi knew this, which is why she arranged for a driver to take her.
Only in this way can we leave safely.
Indeed, Wen realized that the best way to refuse the substitute marriage was to leave directly.
Leave the Wen family, leave this city.
It's not that she lacks the ability to live independently; it's just that she craves family love too much and has too heavy a sense of responsibility, which is why she keeps giving in and trying to please others.
They thought that as long as they were obedient and pleased everyone, they would be loved.
As it turns out, it was all a delusion.
If someone doesn't love you, they won't love you no matter how much you try to please them. They might even take you for granted and become more demanding and unreasonable. If you refuse, they will think you're wrong and that you're a bad person.
That's ridiculous.
At the previous press conference for "Sword and Qin", Wen Yi's mother gave her the dress that Yu Ting Yuan had sent, which completely chilled Wen Yi's heart and brought her back to her senses. She had no expectations for that family anymore.
Wen Yi threw away the SIM card, formatted his phone and threw it in the trash, then took his plane ticket, boarded the plane and left.
As for what will happen next, she doesn't care.
However, while dozing off on the plane, Wen Yi had a bad dream and woke up in fright to find herself crying.
In her dream, Wen Ge cried and screamed, trapped in the Imperial Garden.
Wen Yi still felt guilty.
Since she didn't have a boyfriend, Wen Yi contacted Yu Ting Yuan in advance to change the address for the meal. She asked Wen Ge to deliver the gift to the address where the second master of Yu Ting Yuan had invited her to dinner.
Given Second Master's brutal nature, he would either set a date to marry Wen Ge or simply take her to the Imperial Garden, thus ending the matter.
Wen Yi had considered many times whether he should be so ruthless.
But she discovered that she wasn't as kind as she had imagined. With her family and Wen Ge pressuring her so much, she couldn't just leave cleanly. She had no choice.
There's absolutely nothing we can do.
She's also a pretty bad person, so she's destined not to receive love.
...
The city Wen Yi chose to start over in was Lan City, the northernmost city farthest from Haicheng.
This city has very distinct seasons. The people here are warm and passionate, without any guile or ambiguity. Wenyi used to travel here when she worked here before and loved the atmosphere.
It gives me a sense of freedom.
After getting off the plane, Wen went to the hotel she had booked in advance. Because she was afraid of being looked for by her family, she used someone else's ID card.
I asked a friend for help.
She stayed in a hotel for one day and then found a house through a real estate agent.
It was the kind of apartment you could move into right away. Wen hired someone to clean it during the day and moved in that night.
The apartment is located in a suburban neighborhood of Lanzhou. The surrounding area is not lively, which is its advantage, making it a very quiet place to live.
As Wen Yi lay in bed, looking at the ceiling, she unexpectedly felt a sense of peace she had never experienced before.
I used to live in my hometown and was a left-behind child, feeling lonely and vulnerable.
Later, when I moved to Haicheng, I saw that my parents favored my younger siblings, and I felt even more lonely than when I was in my hometown.
When she was young, Wen Yi would secretly hide and cry, feeling resentful and confused. Even now that she's older, she still feels sad.
But now it's all gone, and it will never be again. She lives alone in the city she loves, needing no one to love her, nor needing to love anyone.
Do what you love and live the life you want.
Suddenly, Wen Yi felt a sense of anticipation for the future.
It's just a pity that there isn't that handsome and alluring man in the future.
"elder sister."
Wen Yi closed her eyes and tried to call herself like Gu Huaixu, but found that it didn't sound right at all. Instead, a certain part of her heart began to ache.
I really miss Gu Huaixu.
Wen turned over, pulled the blanket over her head, covered her aching heart, and forced herself to close her eyes and sleep, trying not to think about things she shouldn't be thinking about.
Wen Yi's sleep was not restful. She was in a daze, and it seemed like she could hear a lot of sounds. She couldn't sleep peacefully until the sounds became clearer and clearer. Then, Wen Yi suddenly opened her eyes.
This is not the sound from my dream.
Wen jumped out of bed and walked barefoot outside, only to find that the faint noises were coming from outside the door; someone was trying to pry it open.
A thief broke in on the first day the person checked in.
Wen walked to the corner and picked up a baseball bat. She had asked the real estate agent to buy it for her. As a girl living in a new house, she was worried about any unexpected events, so she prepared it in advance.
Unexpectedly, it was used that very night.
Wen gripped the baseball bat tightly in his right hand, while his left hand was already pressing the emergency call button.
The moment the door was opened, Wen Yi suddenly raised a stick, dialed the police, and began wildly swinging it and screaming at the person trying to come in!
"No, it's me, please..."
The other party dodged and resisted, but at this moment Wen Yi was tense and didn't quite understand what was being said. He kept waving his hands at the other party.
Until the other party accurately grabbed Wen Yi's stick and their eyes met.
"It's me!"
