Chapter 619: The Down-and-out Second Generation is the Former (5)
As Duan's mother guessed, the first thing a new official does when he takes office is to clear out the old team. Duan's father was found to have made mistakes in a job many years ago and was even facing a high fine. Duan's father wanted to appeal, but after so many years, he could not find any favorable witnesses or evidence. He had no choice but to pay the money and apply for medical retirement.
At the same time, Duan's mother directly announced the divorce and moved out of the house with her share of the property.
Duan Sijun's image as the so-called second generation in the circle collapsed instantly. Fearing that their family would be implicated, many friends took the opportunity to cut off contact with him.
Duan Sijun, who had no idea how to live, suddenly encountered all this and locked himself in the room without eating or drinking for three days and three nights.
On the fourth day, Duan's father finally couldn't sit still and took the initiative to call his son's best friend Zhang Chaoyang and asked him to come and persuade him.
Zhang Chaoyang came, but Duan Sijun locked himself in the room and didn't want to see anyone. He was also one of everyone. With no other options, he found Shi Yi through people in his circle, and wanted her to come home and persuade Duan Sijun.
Unfortunately, Shi Yi happened to be in a closed-door study at a university in another province these days. It was the Golden Week recently, and the air tickets were basically fully booked. She couldn't come back temporarily, so she could only ask Zhang Chaoyang to accompany him first, and specifically asked Zhang Chaoyang to pay attention to his emotional trends.
Zhang Chaoyang understood what she meant. Duan Sijun's body could be remedied if he was starving, but it would be tricky if he couldn't get over it behind their backs. Therefore, he made a mess at Duan Sijun's door every day until he heard Duan Sijun's "get out" and confirmed that he was still alive before leaving.
His wife divorced him, his son was locked up and couldn't come out, and he was wrongly interrupted in his political career. Duan's father, who had persisted for several days, finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell down late one night. Fortunately, Zhang Chaoyang got up in the middle of the night and noticed that the light in Duan's father's room was still on. He went over and took a few glances. The door was not locked, and the gray-haired old man was lying on the ground in a big letter shape. He called "Uncle" several times but got no response. He thought it was not good and quickly called 120 to save the old man's life in time.
Human life was at stake, so Duan Sijun had to walk out of the room. However, the problem he had not figured out before still existed.
Duan Sijun knew what kind of person his father was and did not want his father to be so aggrieved. He wanted to talk to a second-generation grandfather in the circle to help him sort out the old things. Therefore, he bought the other party's favorite antiques at a high price and went to the door to ask for a meeting. Who knew that he was driven out by the nanny before he even entered the door, and the things he bought were thrown into the trash can.
When Shi Yi drove to find him, he was walking step by step along the winding mountain road with the antiques stained with rice grains and soup. He was wearing a neat suit and a neat appearance, but he was so decadent that he seemed to be more than ten years older. Her eyes were red instantly.
"Go home." Shi Yi drove very slowly, and his voice was a bit suppressed and crying.
He looked at her sideways, and turned his eyes back with dull eyes. Without looking in the mirror, he knew through her eyes how helpless he was at the moment. After being protected for more than 20 years, today was the first time he hit a wall. He also faced the reality.
"Duan Sijun, go home." Shi Yi honked the car horn. He continued to walk forward expressionlessly, as if he and she were strangers.
Shi Yi stopped the car on the side of the road, trotted up and grabbed his hand, his voice softened, "Sijun, let's go home, okay."
Duan Sijun shook his head like a zombie and said indifferently, "I don't have a home anymore."
"You have a home!" Shi Yi hugged him from behind and repeated unwaveringly, "You have a home!"
Duan Sijun shook her off forcefully, still walking forward step by step.
Does he have a home?
He doesn't have one.
He was the last to know that his parents were divorced.
His mother is now living a carefree and happy life somewhere unknown, and his father is still lying in the hospital. His home, Duan Sijun, has been shattered.
"Duan Sijun, you don't want to get in the car, right? I'll walk with you, and I'll stop when you stop." Shi Yi trotted along with him, completely forgetting that she was wearing 5cm high heels. Not long after walking, her heels were rubbed red. She gritted her teeth and continued to follow him.
After walking for a long time, Duan Sijun finally stopped and looked at the gentle girl beside him. The ruthless words came out of his mouth, "I'm not a second-generation, and I probably won't make much money in the future. You should change your boyfriend."
At the beginning, she was with him, more or less because of family reasons. Now, he, Duan Sijun, has fallen on hard times, but she is in her prime. It's not too late for her to leave him and find a new second-generation.
"No." Shi Yi said bluntly. She was sweating profusely and directly took his hand. There was moisture in her eyes. She said with the tenacity unique to young girls, "Don't think about getting rid of me."
"Wen Shi Yi, why are you doing this?" Duan Sijun looked at the little woman beside him and smiled bitterly. The smile was full of sadness. "I am a drowned dog now. Everyone wants to step on me when they see me. I have no future. I can't give you a future. So, can you leave by yourself?"
Because he was down and out, the buddies who used to call him brothers and sisters all drew a clear line with him. Because he was down and out, the people in the circle who used to have close contacts with him didn't even let him in and drove him out. He didn't eat or drink and closed the door for three days and three nights, but he couldn't figure it out. They used to be in the same circle, why is it so realistic. If it weren't for Zhang Chaoyang, he would really doubt his character and his life.
As for her, he wanted her to accompany him. Even if it was only for such a period of time. But he understood that she was still young and couldn't stand the hardship of life. Instead of living a chaotic life and getting tired of each other, it is better not to involve her and let her go. Perhaps many years later, when she recalls this relationship with him, she will still remember his kindness.
"Duan Sijun, even if you really want to break up with me, I will wait until you cheer up and have a new life. Now I must accompany you on this journey." Shiyi forcibly took the antique box from his arms, his tone soft but firm, "Don't you want to go for a walk to relax? I will accompany you. I will accompany you no matter what you do in the future. I, Wen Shiyi, have always been stubborn. Once I choose you, I will not change. I don't believe that you, Duan Sijun, will never succeed."
The girl's face was so resolute, her back was so straight, Duan Sijun noticed the bloodstains oozing from the heels of her white high heels, and the hot tears hidden deep in her eyes flowed out and were hurriedly wiped away by him.
Wen Shiyi, I gave you a chance to leave me. From now on, don't ever think about running away again.
