After parting ways with Ye Zhi, I returned to the inn and relayed the news she had brought to the others. Everyone felt relieved, as the matter had now been somewhat resolved.
After sitting in the bar for a while, Yang Sisi returned. She walked up to me and said coldly, "Come out, I want to talk to you about something."
"Are you brewing up some vicious words to say to me again? Fine, I won't be your father anymore!"
Are you coming out or not?
"Can't you say what you want to say in front of everyone?"
"No...come out here."
Yang Sisi's temper is truly unbearable. I didn't want to argue with her, so she threatened me to leave. We stood at the entrance of the inn, and I said to her, "Speak, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Did you pick up Ye Zhi from the airport today?"
I replied casually, "No."
"You don't need to lie to me. Ye Zhi's posts on WeChat Moments have already said it all. She's someone who doesn't like posting this kind of thing, so who could possibly persuade her to do it!"
"You really think highly of me."
"It's not that I think highly of you, it's that she thinks highly of you."
I wiped my face with my hand and didn't say anything. Yang Sisi also suddenly fell silent. Then I saw a kind of suppressed power about to explode in her, which was quite frightening.
She finally asked me, "Do you know why I've been going out so much these past few days?"
"She's dating that guy named Xiao Bei... You two seem to have a pretty close relationship."
"Do you think that just because I can't find hope in you today, I can go out and fool around with other men tomorrow?"
"I wouldn't dare assume that, but it's true that you don't come home at night."
"In your mind, I'm just a dirty person, right?"
"Young people are prone to making mistakes."
Yang Sisi laughed angrily and replied, "If I said you were a bastard, you really are a bastard!"
I got angry too, so I raised my voice and replied, "Then explain yourself! You won't say anything, but you want me to think the best of you. Do you really think I can predict the future?"
Yang Sisi seemed to be losing ground, and my eloquence was exceptionally good today. After leaving Ye Zhi speechless, I also silenced the usually talkative Yang Sisi. But I knew she would retaliate, because she was never one to suffer a verbal defeat.
Yang Sisi finally choked up and said to me, "Michael, you must listen carefully to every word I'm about to say, and remember it. The one who truly cares about you is that woman who calls you a bastard every day, but who is thinking about you every single moment..."
I remained silent.
She continued, "Yes, I have a bad temper and do some childish things, but it's all because you made me so desperate that I didn't know how to vent... So do you really think that just because I look cheerful every day, I don't feel any pain inside?"
"Yes, I've always felt that you're someone who doesn't easily feel pain inside."
To put it simply, I'm heartless, right?
That's roughly the idea.
"Then let me ask you, if I really can't feel pain as you say, then why would I hate my parents for not giving me a warm childhood?"
I was stumped by her question...
“Michael, there is no one in this world who doesn’t feel pain; they are just good at disguising themselves…and you are the kind of person with a lower IQ, making you the easiest to be deceived by this disguise…”
She paused briefly, then contradicted herself, saying, "No, you're not unintelligent, you've just never cared about me, so you never consider my feelings... But is that fair? Why should I be so good to you!"
I felt a little uneasy. After a moment of silence, I asked her, "Can you tell me exactly how you've shown your kindness to me?"
“Xiao Bei has been my friend for many years… I’ve been with him these past few days so he can help me find a house in the mountains and rivers… I’m preparing a backup plan for you, you know?”
Amidst mountains and waters? I suddenly remembered that this was a very high-end villa area in Dali, where the average price of houses was almost 30,000 yuan per square meter, a price that had reached the level of first-tier cities. But I didn't know what this villa area had to do with my future.
Yang Sisi continued, "The reason you're not successful is because your horizons aren't broad enough. If you live in a villa area, you'll have the opportunity to meet social elites, and that atmosphere will be helpful to you... Because the people in the villa area have their own social circles, and they've even created WeChat groups and regularly hold events. If you live there, you can join their WeChat groups and become a member of their circle... If you're smart enough, you can always find business opportunities among them, right?"
"Who...who told you all this?"
“Xiao Bei… Xiao Bei’s dad bought several houses in Shanshuijian. He is also a homeowner in that villa area. However, none of his houses are renovated yet. Otherwise, I would just rent from him.”
"Then why don't you come home at night?"
"Just to annoy you!"
"Aren't you just being stubborn?"
“I just love to argue with you.” After a slight pause, she continued, “The house in Shanshui is already rented… three bedrooms and two living rooms. Whether you want to move in or not is up to you… anyway, Sister Taozi and Tienan have already decided to move in together.”
