Chapter 623 The Down-and-out Second Generation is the Ex (9)
Duan Sijun has been acting mysterious these days,
leaving early and returning late. Shi Yi saw this and although she found it strange, since he didn't say anything, she didn't ask. She went to Xi's house to tutor Xi Huan in writing and could clearly feel that Li Wei's mood had improved. Li Wei had stopped her several times to talk about something, but Xi Huan pulled her away again. So she could only guess that Li Wei had solved the problem of her sister-in-law.
Because of her outstanding work performance, Xi Huan's father specially increased Shi Yi's salary. With a high salary, Shi Yi would naturally be more devoted to Xi Huan. Xi Huan would slowly tell her many of his little secrets. Shi Yi carefully kept them all for him.
It was another Saturday and she received a call from a stranger.
Duan's mother on the other end of the phone did not speak, but hung up the call and sent her a text message. She had not yet thought about how to face this girl. Shi
Yi went to the most upscale Lan Club in the city at the time and address given by Duan's mother.
The moment she pushed open the door of the box, she saw the well-maintained Duan's mother. She was obviously old enough to be a mother, but standing next to her, others would definitely regard her as their sister.
"You don't seem surprised by my appearance." Duan's mother asked her to sit next to her.
She was able to reverse her aging, and how much suffering and hardship she had endured, these were unknown to others. They only envied their youth.
"Auntie, you didn't ask me to come here to talk about health preservation." Shi Yi pushed away the flower tea in front of her, smiled and looked at her.
"Of course not." Duan's mother chuckled, "Before Duan Sijun's father and I divorced, Duan Sijun said he would take you home. In all these years, you are the first girl he has mentioned in front of me."
"It's an honor." Shi Yi wrinkled the corners of his eyes and put his hand on his heart.
Duan's mother paid attention to the girl's movements and micro-expressions, which were synchronized with her words. It seems that she is really happy.
"How long have you been with Duan Sijun?" She picked up the flower tea and brought it to her lips.
"Four months." Shi Yi counted on his fingers, "To be exact, four months and nine days."
"She's not the girl he's been dating the longest." Duan's mother put down the teacup, picked up a bamboo stick to stir the petals in the purple clay pot, and paused for a moment, "She's not the one he's been dating the shortest either."
"Oh." Shi Yi smiled faintly, obviously not taking it to heart.
"Did you know that all the electronic toys Duan Sijun invested in lost money?" Duan's mother raised her delicate eyebrows and said confidently, "Duan Sijun is so proud and so face-conscious, he probably wouldn't tell you."
"Although I think he's been a little strange these days, but I really don't know."
Shi Yi's attitude was very calm, which made Duan's mother like her a little more. She shook her sleeves and said in her unique smokey voice, "I heard that you gave him all your savings."
"Yeah." Shi Yi nodded and chuckled, "It's not much."
"Three hundred thousand, not much, not little." Duan's mother poured the water in the teapot into the trash can, as if complaining, "You are still too young. Don't you know that men are unreliable? You've just wasted your three hundred thousand. You must be heartbroken."
"It would be a lie to say I'm not heartbroken. As long as I can help him."
Duan's mother stared at her face carefully, leaned back in the chair, but her body was secretly tense. This was the performance of her truly looking squarely at the person she was talking to.
"You went to college in this city, and after graduating from college, you changed several jobs before opening your own writing studio. Your family conditions are not good, but not bad. Why do you want to stay in a place that is not your hometown?"
"Young people all want to make a living in big cities. What's more, you can find more job opportunities in big cities."
"Oh?" Duan's mother raised her eyebrows for the second time and changed the subject, "Miss Wen is living with Duan Sijun now, so don't you worry that your husband will care if he finds out in the future?"
"Duan Sijun will be my husband." Shi Yi didn't mind confronting her.
"This kind of question is really hard to say. How many girls have been suffering with the down-and-out boys, and after a few years, the boys have become successful and kicked her away, and then found a young girl in her twenties to let the new person accompany him to live a good life." Although Duan's mother's words were unpleasant to hear, they were also real.
"Auntie, you don't believe in Duan Sijun's character." Shi Yi chuckled and pushed the question back.
"Look at me, I've been married for more than 30 years, but I'm still divorced." Duan's mother's index finger fell on her chest, and she didn't look like she cared about her identity as a divorced woman at all.
"Whether it's marriage or divorce, feelings are also important, aren't they?"
Duan's mother understood what she meant. She said that the reason she chose to divorce was because she had no feelings for Duan Sijun's father. She smiled without comment, "Marriage requires more than just feelings. Feelings without material things often collapse under the test of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea."
"Auntie, do you think so little of your son's ability?" Shi Yiduan fiddled with the cold tea between his fingers and said confidently, "I never doubted that Duan Sijun couldn't stand up."
"You are really young." Duan's mother chuckled, and did not expand on the question of Duan Sijun's ability. Instead, she said, "Come to me when you regret it in the future. Duan Sijun is still my son, and I will give you the 300,000 he owes you on his behalf."
"Auntie won't wait for such a day."
The girl's smile was gentle but extremely firm. Duan's mother's overall understanding of her changed a lot, but she still didn't hold much hope.
"Don't be so full of yourself."
This was the advice she gave to herself many years ago, and she told it to the girl who was as young as she was back then.
"Even if Duan Sijun doesn't make it, I won't mind. Because I can support him by myself. It's just that he can't return to his previous circle, that's true."
The girl clenched her fists lightly while speaking, as if she had made up her mind. Duan's mother averted her gaze and looked at the money tree as tall as an adult in the private room, whispering, "Why bother."
Marrying a man to feed and clothe a man, a family supported by a woman is always unreliable.
"There is no talk of suffering in love." Shi Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "If Duan Sijun wins, I will accompany him. If Duan Sijun loses, I will also accompany him. What I like is Duan Sijun as a person. I only want this person."
"Cheers to you." The girl was as persistent as ever. Duan's mother touched the teacup in her hand, and there was a rare nostalgia in her eyes.
Those who know that the boy may lose, but are willing to gamble their future, are all ruthless people. She was like this in the past, and Wen Shiyi is also like this now.
I hope that Wen Shiyi does not have to lose.
