Chapter 338: Rifts of Holes
People may have to face many unavoidable situations in their lives, especially those who lived through that era. But only those who have experienced it know how difficult it is to endure the pain brought by these unavoidable situations.
After listening to Su Wenshan's story, Kong Xiuwan suddenly felt relieved. Perhaps the love she had given in her youth was not in vain, and there was no need for her to dwell on it.
But because of Su Wenshan's departure, the things she experienced were forever engraved in her heart, which could not be erased or touched. Even thinking about it would make her feel unbearable. Don't tell her that things are over and she should let go. She can't let go of those things.
After a long silence, Kong Xiuwan said, "You had your reasons back then, but since you've chosen your family's responsibilities, don't come back to me seeking forgiveness or comfort. And don't say you'll compensate me. You can't make up for what I've been through, and I won't accept your compensation."
Su Wenshan sat there quietly, motionless. After a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought of seeking comfort from you. I did it, and I should bear all the consequences. I just want you and Zhengping to live a better life."
"We are living very well now, but your appearance has caused us a lot of trouble." Kong Xiuwan said bluntly.
Su Wenshan was silent again, then said, "Zhengping is my child, so he should inherit my things. Although we didn't register our marriage back then, we are husband and wife. Even if we divorce, half of my things should be yours."
Kong Xiuwan didn't want to argue with him any further. She stood up and said, "Although I don't have the wealth and wealth of your Su family, it's absolutely no problem for my son to live a prosperous life. Besides, my son is so outstanding. He can definitely earn whatever he wants on his own. Why should he bear the reputation of relying on others for success? I want to rest now. You can leave."
Su Wenshan also stood up. "Then you should have a good rest. I'll help you rent a house nearby tomorrow. If you stay here for a long time, it will be inconvenient to stay in a hotel all the time."
"Let's buy one," Kong Xiuwan said, "Come here often in the future, so it will be convenient to buy a house."
"Okay, I'll accompany you to look at houses tomorrow." Su Wenshan said as he walked out of the room, and Kong Xiuwan closed the door directly.
She walked over to the sofa and sat down. She poured herself a glass of water and drank it slowly. Her heart was not as calm as it appeared. Some people say that letting go of hatred is letting go of others and letting go of yourself. She considered herself an open-minded person, but she still couldn't let go of hatred.
She gave her heart and body in her best years, but in return she was covered in blood and wounds. People who have not experienced that kind of pain have no idea how heart-wrenching it is.
She didn't do anything drastic to Su Wenshan now because she didn't want to go hysterical, which would be too embarrassing.
After drinking a glass of water and reading a book on the bedside, she lay down and fell asleep. But Su Wenshan in the next room did not sleep all night. In fact, he often had such sleepless nights in recent years.
The next day, when Kong Xiuwan got up and packed herself up to go out, she saw Su Wenshan waiting at the door. When he saw her come out, he said, "There is breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Let's go eat together."
Kong Xiuwan didn't understand English, and she didn't try to be stubborn, so she followed him to the restaurant. After they finished eating, Su Wenshan took her to look at houses. They looked for a whole morning but couldn't find anything suitable. Finally, Su Wenshan said, "How about this, I'll sell you my house."
In fact, he wanted to give it to her directly, but she didn't want it!
"No need," Kong Xiuwan said, "I'll stay here with Zhengping for a few days, and then go to my uncle's house in two days."
Kong Xiuwan's uncle's family had settled in the United States for many years and was definitely familiar with the country. She could just ask him to help her buy a house. However, a few years ago, when her uncle returned her belongings to her, her aunt and cousins were not very happy, so their relationship had become strained.
This is also the reason why Zhengping did not ask her uncle for help when she came to the United States to study.
"That's fine." Su Wenshan could only say this.
After school at noon, Han Zhengping had a meal with them and talked about some things in school. In short, he was adapting to the school. He wanted to call Gu Siqing, but now was not the right time, so he had to wait until the evening.
After lunch, Han Zhengping went to the hotel room with Kong Xiuwan to talk. Kong Xiuwan told him about her plan to buy a house and also about the dispute between her and her uncle's family:
"When the movement first started, my uncle started looking for ways to leave the country. My parents thought it wouldn't be a big deal, so they didn't go with him. But they did let my uncle take the valuables from home. After the movement was over, my uncle wanted to return the things to me, but my aunt and cousins didn't seem to want to, and there was a bit of a fuss. So, I don't really want to bother them with anything."
Han Zhengping understood after hearing this. He said, "I'm fine here. If you're worried, just stay in the hotel for a few more days. As for buying a house, I'll buy it once I'm familiar with this place."
Kong Xiuwan felt that there was no need to rush, so she said, "Okay, let's take our time."
The mother and son talked for a while, and then Han Zhengping went back to school. In the evening, he called Gu Siqing and told her about the situation here. Gu Siqing was naturally very happy to receive his call. The two of them chatted for a long time before hanging up.
Gu Siqing's TV series preparations are going nowhere, mainly because she can't find a director. Those with strong talent all feel that life-themed dramas aren't substantial enough, and even if they're made, no one will watch them, making them a waste of time. Gu Siqing isn't willing to hire less capable people. If you're going to film something, you have to do it well, not just casually.
However, Gu Siqing was not discouraged. Since she couldn't find a suitable director now, she would put it aside for now and deal with it later when she found a suitable one. She would polish the script first.
While she was busy learning to write scripts, her family's three stores opened. Thanks to sufficient preparations in the early stages, the openings went smoothly and business was booming, a truly auspicious start.
The grand opening event lasted for a week, and Guangming Supermarket gained some popularity within a certain range. Although there were no major sales events afterwards, one or two products were on sale every day, so people around the supermarket were saying that Guangming Supermarket's products were cheap.
On this Sunday, Gu Siqing went to the company to play. She followed Gu Jianguo to his office, but just as she reached the door, she heard someone calling her, "Gu Siqing."
She turned around and saw Wen Dandan, whom she had met once before. She was Qi Hang's classmate, or rather, Qi Hang's current girlfriend. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they had eaten together once after all. Gu Siqing still smiled and walked over to her and said, "Why are you here?"
