Chapter 172: Deep love without regrets?
Qi Hongwei could only tell the truth. If he didn't want to give up his future, he had no choice but to divorce Bai Xue.
Because he was the one who felt sorry for Bai Xue, Qi Hongwei took out a large sum of money to compensate Bai Xue.
But how could Bai Xue be willing? She dragged her feet and refused to divorce. Then Qi Hongwei's parents came to their house and kept scolding Bai Xue for being ungrateful and saying that a country girl dared to marry a city man without even considering whether she had the fate to do so.
Bai Xue was humiliated, but this only aroused her rebellious nature and she refused to divorce.
Didn't Qi Hongyang's parents want to separate them because they looked down on her for being a country girl? Then she would make a career for herself, use the money to slap Qi Hongyang's parents in the face, and win her man back.
But before Bai Xue could take any action, she learned a piece of news that made her tremble all over: Bai Xue's biological mother was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
On one side is her biological mother who is waiting for money to save her life, and on the other side is her own self-esteem and her man. In despair, Bai Xue finds that she has no choice at all. If she loses her man, she can find another one, but if her biological mother is gone, that's really gone.
Bai Xue had to agree to divorce Qi Hongwei, and Qi Hongwei kept his promise and gave her a large sum of money as compensation. With this money, Bai Xue's biological mother had an operation, but it only allowed her to live for another year before she passed away.
After Bai Xue and her family dealt with her mother's funeral, they brought their children to Beijing. She had always remembered the humiliation she had suffered from Qi's parents and was determined to make a name for herself.
Qi Hongwei has already married his second wife, but he is still thinking about Bai Xue and his children. After learning that Bai Xue came to Beijing, he tried to find a way to settle her down.
Bai Xue did not refuse Qi Hongwei's help. After all, they had a child. Isn't it natural for a father to raise the child?
However, since Qi Hongwei is still studying, the monthly subsidy is limited. Plus, after getting married, he also needs to support his family, so he doesn't have much money.
After settling Bai Xue and her son, the money in his hands was running out and he could not provide them with food and drink. Everything depended on Bai Xue to find a way to earn money for food.
Bai Xue followed others and wholesaled various tourist souvenirs and small accessories. Then she took her children to set up stalls at tourist attractions in Beijing and started a small business.
Although the tourism industry was not particularly developed in the 1980s, places like the Tiananmen Square in Beijing and the Forbidden City were often visited by tourists. Bai Xue slowly made money by selling these small things, and gradually became able to support herself.
During this period, Qi Hongwei visited the mother and son from time to time. At first, he would give them some money to spend. Later, after his second wife found out, Qi Hongwei no longer had a penny in his pocket.
One time, Qi Hongwei was so angry that he had a quarrel with his second wife. As a result, his wife's family came to him overnight to teach him a lesson. He was forced not to meet Bai Xue and her son. The two of them lived in the same city and knew each other's situation, but they could not meet.
Bai Xue felt extremely bitter in her heart, but she became more determined to settle down in the city. What really made Bai Xue rich was an accident. She boldly sold a souvenir worth only 50 cents to a foreign friend with gestures, and she sold it for a high price of one dollar, which was foreign currency.
The foreign exchange rate was very high at that time, especially in the black market, where the exchange rate was doubled. Bai Xue looked at the one-dollar bill and instantly she grasped the code to wealth.
Bai Xue's eyes became extremely bright, and then she suddenly felt motivated and began to study and learn a foreign language diligently.
No one knew how Bai Xue persisted. At that time, she was just a country girl who had not received any formal education and could only read but not write many words.
But in order to prove herself, she gritted her teeth and persevered, starting from the most basic letters. She shamelessly went to colleges and universities to ask college students, and then learned those English letters one by one, little by little.
What's more, she was brave and dared to read aloud once she had learned something. In just half a year, she was able to have some basic conversations in English.
In this way, she dared to do business with foreigners and sold her wholesale souvenirs and trinkets at high prices. Moreover, because of long-term communication with foreigners, her spoken English became more and more fluent and smooth.
Bai Xue accumulated considerable wealth in a very short period of time, and she and her mother were finally able to gain a foothold in Beijing without having to rely on anyone or ask for charity.
Bai Xue deeply realized the importance of money, and she began to study how to make more money. After all, she couldn't sell small accessories for the rest of her life. These were just small businesses, and she would eventually have to find a broader path.
Bai Xue gritted her teeth and continued to study foreign languages. When her vocabulary reached a certain level and she could talk to foreigners fluently, Bai Xue found a job as a tour guide.
That's much easier than setting up a street stall. You can be a tour guide for foreign friends. Not only is food and accommodation provided, but you can also get a lot of foreign currency tips, which you can then exchange into domestic currency, making several thousand yuan a month.
Bai Xue could finally use the money to attack Qi's parents, but she and Qi Hongwei could never get back together again.
After graduating from university, Qi Hongwei was assigned to work under his father-in-law. His life was controlled by his second-married wife, and he had no freedom at work.
He and Bai Xue and the others are not as good as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. At least they can see each other once a year, but they don't even have the chance to meet.
Bai Xue worked even harder for her career. After working as a tour guide and translator for several years, she became more mature. With the money she saved, she boldly opened a travel agency.
Relying on the experience and connections accumulated in the previous few years, Bai Xue's business was booming. At that time, tourism was really profitable.
Relying on this skill, Bai Xue bought a house in Beijing, registered her household registration and became a Beijinger. However, this was not Bai Xue's highlight moment. In the 1990s, when Chinese people began to yearn for traveling abroad, Bai Xue developed overseas tourism projects, making tens of millions of dollars a year in net profits. That was no joke.
By the mid-1990s, Bai Xue had become more capable and savvy. Relying on the connections she had made while running a travel agency, she began to invest in real estate.
Then, Bai Xue, like the Mary Sue heroine in the novel, began to flourish in her career and make a lot of money. Her wealth quickly soared from a millionaire to a tens of millions, a billionaire, and finally became a wealthy woman from a wealthy family.
The only pity she had was that after she divorced Qi Hongwei, she had been single for twenty years, living alone all her life with the memories of her youth.
Twenty years is neither long nor short. As Bai Xue has a successful career, she pays great attention to maintenance. Although she is not as smart and pretty as when she was young, she is still beautiful, mature and intellectual.
This kind of Bai Xue is the image of a wife in Qi Hongwei's mind, but the fate of the two has long been broken. However, it does not prevent Bai Xue from becoming the white moonlight in Qi Hongwei's heart. As time goes by, the image of the white moonlight will become more and more beautiful, so beautiful that no one can surpass it.
But no one expected that Snow White would collapse at this moment. She died in a plane crash, and all the people on the plane died along with the plane.
The huge fortune left by Bai Xue had to be inherited by her child, but unfortunately the child died less than three years after inheriting the property.
Bai Xue was unable to balance her career and family. She was so busy with her career that she neglected to discipline her child, allowing the child to indulge in women without restraint. In the end, the child was exhausted to death by a woman's belly.
Then this huge property was divided among relatives as the child's inheritance.
As a father, Qi Hongwei also got a part, although not all. However, the property left by Bai Xue was large enough, even if he only got a small part of it, it would not be a small amount.
