Lu Jia sat down opposite me. She glanced around instinctively and then said to me, "I remember this bar has never been doing very well. I didn't expect it to stay open until today!"
“They’ve started making simple meals now. I just saw someone order a Japanese beef bowl.”
Lu Jiaxiao: "So, is this considered a bar, a coffee shop, or a fast food restaurant?"
I laughed too: "Who cares what it is? It's one more choice, one more way out."
Lu Jia picked up the menu and said to me as she looked at it, "The prices haven't changed much... a latte is still 28 yuan... I'll have a latte."
I called the waiter over and ordered a latte for Lu Jia.
Lu Jia seemed to be in a good mood, and she smiled and asked me, "How have you been lately?"
"It's been quite fulfilling; I haven't had a moment's rest."
"How's your leg? Is it recovering well?"
"I've regained consciousness. The doctor said that I should be able to walk normally in the future, but I definitely won't be able to do strenuous exercise."
Lu Jia's expression changed. She nodded first, then sighed, "You're lucky... I'm very happy... In any case, I hope you can be happy."
"Let's not talk about these pointless things... What do you want from me?"
"When you were at your lowest point, I chose to kick you when you were down. Do you still hate me now?"
"I wouldn't say I hate them, but I just feel like we're not on the same wavelength."
Lu Jia sighed, then twirled the coffee cup in her hand. I didn't try to guess what she was thinking. I just stared at the snowflakes fluttering outside the window, lost in thought again... I kept thinking about the scene of chatting with Wang Lei that day... She was wearing a tight-fitting short skirt and black stockings, sitting right across from me.
“Michael, take this card… There’s 2.15 million in it, the money from selling that house in Dali.”
I turned around and looked at Lu Jia, and suddenly froze!
"What, you don't want it?"
"If you don't want to give it to me, fine. But if you do, of course I'll take it."
"Then you can accept it."
As Lu Jia spoke, she handed the card to me. I hesitated for a moment because this Lu Jia was not the one I knew. But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. Judging from her current outfit, she certainly wouldn't be short of 2 million yuan.
So I took it from her, and she said to me, "The password is my birthday. If you can't remember it, you won't be able to retrieve it."
I looked at her, and she laughed again, "Look how nervous you are! ... I was just joking with you, the password is your birthday."
"Um... thanks."
"I should thank you... truly."
"Stop putting me down... I've been a pushover in front of you for years, what is there for you to thank me for?!"
Lu Jia picked up her coffee cup again, took a sip, and then slowly replied to me, "I'll take this money from selling the house..."
I bought a luxury car and many other luxury items... I presented myself as a highly educated returnee with a successful career... Then I met him. He was from Shanghai and was in Chengdu on business. He felt I was the ideal woman in his eyes because I was a Shanghai resident, had studied abroad, and had a very good job... More importantly, I had undergone hymenoplasty, and he thought I was emotionally pure, so he didn't hesitate much and decided to marry me.
I remained silent for a while before replying, "I don't know what to say... but you are definitely the woman I know who knows best what she wants."
"Tell me, should I thank you?"
"We've settled our score. No one owes anyone anything, and no one should thank anyone."
“Michael, now that I’ve returned this money to you, I have no regrets in my life… So, it’s time for me to say goodbye and embrace a new life.”
"Go..."
Lu Jia stood up, and just as she was about to leave, she whispered to me, "This should be the last time we see each other in our lives. Don't you want to say something to me?"
I shook my head, and then some scenes of my conversation with Wang Lei here floated into my mind. I tried hard to recall my feelings at that time, and it seemed that there was only pain, and this pain was caused by being dumped by Lu Jia.
I can't help but wonder... what would the situation be like now if we hadn't chosen to break up back then?
Lu Jia had already turned and left. I wanted to call her back... but in the end, I just said "thank you" to her back. Although I no longer love her, she is still an undeniable part of my youth, a bittersweet memory.
I know that if I were a rich second-generation heir, or a young and promising man, I would definitely be her first choice to marry; unfortunately, I am not.
She's not a bad woman, nor does she not understand love; she just loves herself more... That's not wrong, and it represents most people.
However, I never expected that she would have the best ending in the long river of my life... She finally got what she wanted and became a wealthy woman.
I hope she will never think of me again, and even if she does, I hope she will not feel sad.
...
I let out a heavy sigh of relief and put the bank card that Lu Jia had left behind into my pocket. Then I realized that I had not only not lost anything, but I had actually made a lot of money. The house in Chengdu that she returned could now be sold for at least 3 million yuan... I actually had more than 5 million yuan in assets.
When Lu Jia told me that she had undergone hymenoplasty to win that man's heart, I looked down on her. But at this moment, I suddenly felt no emotion towards her. It was as if we had both lost and won!
