(619)
Therefore, in this life, Ye Wenyu made a completely different choice than in her previous life, and her life was different. Just as the flapping of wings of a butterfly in the Himalayas can stir up storms in the western Atlantic, sometimes in life, choices are far more important than efforts.
"Come, Xiaoyu, sit down, sit down." Zhang Susu pulled Ye Wenyu's hand and sat her down, her loving voice comforting Ye Wenyu's heart.
She smiled slightly. The house was sunny and filled with the fragrance of flowers. Besides the bright red azalea she had just seen, there was also a camellia.
In addition, her favorite fruits and snacks were laid out on the table.
Zhang Susu was like the mother Ye Wenyu remembered, as if she wasn't a college graduate but still her baby. She was busy and smiling, grabbing a handful of White Rabbit candies into Ye Wenyu's palm, and then said to her, "Your favorite White Rabbit candies. I know you like honey black tea. I just boiled some water, I'll go make you some tea now." Then she quickly went to the kitchen to get busy.
Ye Wenyu waited with a smile. She looked around the house. Although the rooms were small, they were very tidy. Several pots of red azaleas were placed in the living room. They were blooming very brightly, with lush branches and leaves, and a fragrant aroma.
In addition, there is a Monstera deliciosa and a Dieffenbachia in the corner of the room, both of which are growing very well.
Ye Wenyu looked at it and said to Uncle Wang with a smile, "These flowers couldn't possibly grow this well indoors."
Uncle Wang smiled, looking at Zhang Susu who came out of the kitchen with deep affection, and said to Xiaoyu, "Your mother is a very sophisticated person. Our house doesn't face south, so it doesn't get much sunlight. To take good care of the flowers, your mother grows them on the roof. She changes several pots every week, and they're never the same one twice. Because of your mother, our house is practically like a flower and bird market." His tone was full of pride and smugness.
Zhang Susu's face lit up with pride as her husband praised her, her eyes sparkling like stars.
This is truly a delightful family.
Ye Wenyu looked at the flowerpot. Yes, just like in her previous life, it was a cheap black plastic flowerpot. But in the previous life, the flowerpot was still there, the flower was dead, and her mother was dead. In this life, both the flower and the person are fine.
The flowers are in full bloom, and the mother and stepfather are very loving. Their home, though small, is warm and cozy, bringing warmth and joy to the heart.
So, for the sake of this outcome, she should live well, live with strength, and try her best to undo the tragedy of her previous life!
Zhang Susu handed Ye Wenyu a steaming cup of honey black tea, her eyes shining with affection. Smiling, she said, "Here, drink it while it's hot. We'll have lunch here. I bought your favorite honey lotus root, and I'm also planning to make a pickled fish dish. Your Uncle Wang said he'd make braised pork and beer-braised duck. Those are probably his specialties; he doesn't usually cook for guests. Today, it's because our precious daughter is home—"
Ye Wenyu's mouth watered at the words, and she smiled and said, "Okay, okay." At that moment, sunlight streamed in from outside, filling the room with a fragrant aroma and blooming flowers, just like springtime.
If someone asks what happiness is, this is happiness.
Ye Wenyu smiled, her eyes narrowing.
Uncle Wang stood up, smiled at them, and said, "You two chat, I'm going to the kitchen to cook." Then he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to get busy.
He is a rare, honest, and kind man.
Zhang Susu sat down and asked Ye Wenyu, "I heard that Cai Wenchuan is getting married to a young lady from the Lin family named Yue?"
The mother stammered a little when she asked the question. She was clearly eager to know the answer but also afraid of hurting her daughter's feelings, and her face showed a hint of embarrassment.
Ye Wenyu composed herself, forced a smile at her mother, and then nodded, indicating that the news her mother had heard was not unfounded and that everything was true.
In this life, Cai Wenchuan suddenly inherits one-third of the shares of the Lin Group, so he is to marry Lin Tingyue, the eldest daughter of the Lin family.
She thought to herself with relief, "Thank goodness Cai Wenchuan didn't die in a car accident, and Lin Tingyue didn't jump off a building out of despair and pain."
They're all still alive, and they're getting married! That's wonderful, wonderful!
She didn't love Cai Wenchuan. He was troubled by his own problems and wasn't a simple person, but she still hoped he would live a good life.
Zhang Susu didn't understand Ye Wenyu's feelings. She said sadly, "Alas, we are destined to be together but not to stay together! I once thought you and him could be together."
However, the old woman said guiltily, "It's all my fault for being incompetent and letting you grow up in such a family. Cai Wenchuan is a university professor, so he would definitely want to find a better girl to marry. Miss Lin's family must be very rich. In today's society, men also want to find a rich wife so that they can avoid struggling for many years."
Zhang Susu was muttering to herself in self-pity.
"Mom—" Ye Wenyu snapped out of her reverie, pulling her thoughts back from their flight. She interrupted Zhang Susu's self-pity and smiled at her mother, comforting her, "Wen-gege and I grew up together, our relationship is like that of siblings. He doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. I've told you that before, but you didn't believe me. You were just overthinking and fantasizing. So there's no need for you to be sad now. We're like family. Now that he's getting married, we should wish him well."
With a smile, she thought to herself, "I hope that one day Lin Tingyue will truly love Cai Wenchuan. After all, Cai Wenchuan has loved Lin Tingyue sincerely throughout his life."
His love for her is like water dripping on stone, unwavering for decades. Hopefully, she will respond to him and one day truly love him.
Zhang Susu nodded slowly, thought for a moment, and then complained to Ye Wenyu, "You're so smart and beautiful. Now that you've graduated from university, you're almost 25. Do you have a boyfriend?"
My mother quickly started worrying about my daughter's boyfriend, fearing she would become a "leftover woman" (unmarried woman over 30). Just like mothers all over the world.
To make the old woman happy and to get her to move on from the topic, Ye Wenyu had no choice but to say, "Well, I'm dating someone. When the time is right, I'll bring him back for you to meet."
"Really?" Zhang Susu became excited, her face lit up, and her eyes shone brightly. She clapped her hands, sometimes standing up and sometimes sitting down, and asked Ye Wenyu eagerly, "How is she? How does she look? What is her family situation? What is her education? What is her character?" A series of "how is she?" questions were fired at Ye Wenyu like a machine gun.
Ye Wenyu blushed, feeling somewhat overwhelmed. She had only told one lie, but she hadn't expected to have to use even more lies to deal with her mother.
Fortunately, Uncle Wang came out of the kitchen at this moment and said to Ye Wenyu, "I heard that the old man from the Lin family gave one-third of the shares to Cai Wenchuan before he died." Ye Wenyu was stunned and asked her stepfather, "You heard about it too?"
