Chapter 259
A colleague's daughter is getting engaged, and at their age, such social engagements become more and more frequent.
Someone on the side complained, "This bastard, he was raised for nothing, and he got engaged without his family's knowledge? That girl is after his money, isn't she after him because he looks like a chimpanzee?"
Old Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "How can you say that about your own son?"
"What did I say wrong? I cut off his financial resources. Let's see what he will do."
Lao Yi smiled and said, "If it's just a simple engagement, it's okay to regret it, but if your family... you can't ruin it for them."
"Our family wouldn't do anything so outrageous. At worst, I'll just let her be my concubine and support her for the rest of her life."
Old Yi leaned back in his chair and talked to the man. Mrs. Yi and the women in the family were talking to each other, each with their own thoughts.
One of the female relatives complained, "All our children are here to collect debts..." while talking about her daughter's unhappy marriage.
Everyone knew that Old Yi didn't mind, so they didn't hesitate to talk about his children in front of him. However, Mrs. Yi was very sad about this matter. When the female relatives talked about it in front of her, she always felt nervous and lost.
At this time, I heard a girl calling out "Sister Jia".
He was talking to someone next to him and turned his head abruptly when he heard it. Seeing that it wasn't him, he turned back with a look of disappointment.
Mrs. Yi pretended not to know, but she also heard it, and it sounded especially like "Jiazhi".
The engaged couple came over to toast.
The girl's mother said, "You still recognize your Uncle Yi, right?"
The girl smiled and called out "Uncle Yi" and "Aunt Yi".
Lao Yi smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown up. It won't be long before you start to get married and start a family."
The girl's father said, "You are old now. For a girl, having someone to rely on for life is the most important thing. When you return from abroad this time, you must first settle your marriage so that others can feel at ease."
The girl said, "Dad, it's a new era now. Women should also have their own careers, not just live in marriage. What kind of feudal ideas do you have?"
Lao Yi laughed and said, "You are willing to marry off your child when he is only a little old."
The girl's mother smiled and said, "She's already 23, not young anymore."
"oh……"
He looked up at the girl again. She wasn't pretty, but she was fair-skinned, with a pair of squinting eyes. She looked gentle and comfortable. She was wearing a lot of jewels and gorgeous clothes.
Mrs. Yi then took her hand and asked about her life with a smile. He looked down at the girl's hand again. Her middle finger had not been rubbed. She was wearing a valuable diamond bracelet and ring.
She saw her fiancé next to her, young and handsome, looking at her with doting and pride.
This couple is a rare match, they are childhood sweethearts and have a good relationship. They studied abroad together for three years, got engaged today and will officially get married in a month.
He felt extremely disappointed.
They are all twenty-three years old.
She could only live in darkness with a man like him. Even such a life could not last long.
He should be happy for her if she left him. Otherwise, what would her life have been like if she had followed him? He knew she was intelligent and that if she put in the effort, she could achieve something. However, the hardships of her past had weighed her down, leaving her with no chance of success. The only thing that worried him was her infatuation. It wasn't that he thought she was hopeless and couldn't live without a man. But one must always look forward. Finding a reliable person would be ideal, but she was so infatuated and foolish in love. What if she was deceived by someone with ulterior motives? What would he do?
When he got back, he took out a few strands of hair from a small lake green envelope and stroked them gently.
This little girl left him so many things as souvenirs when she left, but not even a strand of her hair.
She has written so many romance novels, how come she even forgot the most clichéd plot of life and death in romance novels.
As soon as she left, he felt really empty inside. He saw a few strands of her hair on the pillow, so he collected them. He then searched through her clothes and dressing table and found more than a dozen strands.
Although there are many things left, none of them belong to her body. Only these hairs are truly hers.
Thinking of this, my heartache came back again.
He now realized that she was the root of his illness. If she were by his side, he wouldn't have any more attacks.
It’s strange to think that she already had this disease before she came here.
He has no memory of his previous life, and the only thing he has brought to this life is the heart disease he suffered.
Some time after her death, he also broke away from the past and started anew.
A few days later, when I was changing clothes, I found a strand of her hair on the clothes. I was completely devastated and felt like my heart was being dug out. Bigan's heart-diggering was truly tangible, and from then on, I felt an endless pain in my heart.
Her room had already been cleaned and her belongings disposed of. When he got to the apartment, he found a few strands of hair on the bed and dresser. He pulled the bracelet from the pillow. A few days later, he got the notebook.
Late in the dark of the night, he sat at his desk with a lamp on it, holding the notebook in his hand and his head leaning back on the chair.
The image of her sleeping with sadness and sorrow appeared in front of my eyes, curled up like a little white cat, her hands clenched into fists on her chest.
He thought about her being with him and what he had given her.
Most of the time, he'd be messing around in that dark, damp, dead-end house, or secretly having affairs at home. Even that wasn't always possible, as he'd throw her into a social gathering of boring, mean-spirited fakes. Or he'd make her wait endlessly for him, from dawn to dusk. He'd only been to that apartment a few pitiful times, and ultimately never moved in.
