Chapter 229 Extra Chapter 1: Weiwei, Don't Cry...
Su Family Villa
Miss Su Wan looked at the man standing side by side with Lin Wei on the news.
Hot tears slid down her cheeks.
That's great, Yanzhou, you're finally with the person you love.
Su Wan never imagined in her life that the blind date five years ago would lead to...
It will make it impossible for any other man to enter her heart.
Five years have passed; she has waited from age 23 to 28, but the man of her dreams has yet to appear.
A man in a suit and tie came to take her hand.
This is probably what the obsession with love at first sight is all about.
Some people, you only need to meet them once to know that everyone else is just a compromise.
She slowly put down the tablet, and the winter sun shone on her, as if she were draped in a layer of golden light.
Like a fragile glass petal...
-
A week after the eldest son of the Shi family got engaged
Chairman Shi ultimately succumbed to his illness and passed away.
This well-intentioned lie, told in the name of love, ultimately failed to create a miracle.
After the funeral,
Shi Yanzhou looked at Lin Wei, who was dressed in white mourning clothes, in the distance.
The guilt in my heart was like a rising tide, growing stronger little by little.
He saw it; on the day of the engagement party.
Lin Wei and Gu Jingcheng embraced tightly inside the car.
He stood not far away in the torrential rain, the water icy cold.
My heart felt like it was being pierced by a thousand arrows.
He also saw the family of three leaving the kindergarten.
Gu Jingcheng held Xin Xin in his arms, leaning slightly on the man's shoulder, his eyes brimming with happiness.
This was something that had never happened before in front of him.
At that moment, all his obsessions and desires burst like a balloon punctured by a needle.
It dries up little by little.
Some people are just like that; no matter how hard you try,
She's like sand slipping through your fingers; the tighter you hold on, the faster it slips away.
Her joys and sorrows, her gentleness, the light in her eyes—all existed solely for another person.
What is forced will ultimately bring not happiness, but suffering to all three people.
To love someone is to wish them true happiness.
Even if that happiness has nothing to do with me.
He should let go...
Let go of the part of yourself that has been trapped in obsession.
A sense of relief slowly spread through Shi Yanzhou's heart.
The moment I turned around, my eyes suddenly met a pair of eyes.
The sadness in those eyes was so familiar.
He felt as if he were seeing another version of himself.
"Brother Yanzhou, please accept my condolences."
Su Wan, dressed in a black trench coat, walked slowly with a sorrowful look in her eyes.
Shi Yanzhou's heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something soft.
"Miss Su, it's been a long time..."
Su Wan smiled.
"Yes, it's been 5 years, Brother Yanzhou. I still remember the first time we had a proper meal together."
It was at the Xingxi Shore Restaurant that you gave me a pink diamond necklace.
I've always felt that it was the most beautiful gift I've ever received.
Shi Yanzhou's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked down at her.
The woman before me looked even thinner five years ago, with a lingering, faint sadness in her eyes.
It was far from the bright and cheerful image he remembered.
He had always known that Su Wan, the heiress of the Su Group, was still unmarried.
He also vaguely knew the thoughts behind her persistence.
Just like his unrequited love for Lin Wei over the years.
Shi Yanzhou remained silent for a moment.
“That necklace… is an old style from five years ago, it’s long out of fashion and doesn’t suit Miss Su.”
Su Wan raised her eyes to meet his gaze, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"I think they're a perfect match."
"But that necklace, now... should be worn by the person it loves."
Congratulations, Brother Yanzhou!
He looked down at her and saw Su Wan's face clearly for the first time.
She embodies the typical image of a woman from Jiangnan: gentle, refined, and demure.
What he said was even more magnanimous than what this grown man had to say.
He hesitated for a moment, then squeezed out a few words.
"There's nothing to congratulate you on..."
A night breeze swept by, and Shi Yanzhou looked at her slender figure.
He naturally turned to the side to block the wind from her.
The woman's eyes lit up for a moment, then she looked up and lowered her head again.
Shi Yanzhou only then realized his slightly ambiguous actions and paused for a moment...
His voice was deep.
"It's windy outside, and Miss Su is dressed too lightly. Please come inside."
-
The guests who came to pay their respects gradually left.
The solemn and bustling Shi residence gradually quieted down.
Overwhelmed with grief, the mother was taken to the hospital to recuperate in the afternoon.
Nuannuan and Qin Simiao stayed at the hospital to accompany and take care of her.
In the vast mansion, only Shi Yanzhou and Lin Wei remained to handle the aftermath of the funeral.
The air was filled with the scent of incense and white chrysanthemums, and silence flowed between the two.
Shi Yanzhou finished organizing the stack of funeral tribute records, then looked up.
Looking at Lin Wei arranging the funeral couplets, her profile appeared somewhat tired in the dim light.
"Weiwei, I'll handle the rest. You can go back now."
"Gu Jingcheng... is still waiting for you in the car."
Lin Wei's body stiffened for a moment.
She turned to look at the man, her eyes filled with unyielding guilt.
"Brother Yanzhou, you...you knew everything?"
Looking at her like this, Shi Yanzhou's last bit of resentment dissipated.
He stepped forward and, just like when they were children, reached out and gently ruffled her smooth hair.
"What's wrong? As your brother, even the fact that your sister has finally found happiness..."
Can't we even know?
Lin Wei's eyes reddened.
"elder brother……"
Shi Yanzhou's smile deepened, his eyes clear and sincere.
"Silly girl, I'm so happy for you when I see you with him, your eyes light up."
"It was my fault before; I almost lost our friendship of so many years."
He took a deep breath and let go of his burden.
"Weiwei, from now on, you will only be my sister."
I will always be your brother and your support.
All I want to do is see you happy. I'll be the first to stand in for anyone who dares to bully you.
Shi Yanzhou raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. His gesture was full of tenderness, but without any romantic feelings between them.
"Weiwei, stop feeling burdened and go pursue your happiness."
The Shi family will announce our fake engagement in a while.
Everything was to fulfill my father's wish, and I should thank you for that.
Lin Wei's tears flowed even more fiercely, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
"Brother Yanzhou..."
The man reached out and hugged her, patting her head.
"Weiwei, don't cry..."
Lin Wei buried her head in the fabric of the man's suit and nodded.
He responded with a heavy nasal tone.
"Yes, Brother Yanzhou, you will definitely find your happiness..."
Shi Yanzhou watched Lin Wei's departing figure, his heart calm.
Their childhood friendship hasn't disappeared; it's just continued in a different form...
