Chapter 98: The last chance Shuitong Yang finally said what she thought she should say, said goodbye to Deng Xiuzhen and prepared to go home.
Tan Yanlin's tense heart finally relaxed.
But just as he reached the door, Shuitong Yang turned back again, and Qin Yanlin's heart began to lift again.
If he didn't feel that he could not lift her, Qin Yanlin really wanted to throw her out so far away that he would never see her again.
"I forgot to ask you, what's your name?" Shuitong Yang asked loudly to Deng Xiuzhen.
"My name is Deng Xiuzhen. Come visit us often in the future." Deng Xiuzhen responded politely.
"Well, we are neighbors, and we will definitely visit each other more often in the future. Oh, by the way, my name is Yang Yu."
Potatoes? Deng Xiuzhen repeated doubtfully.
"It's not that potato, it's the Yang in the surname Yang, and the Yu next to the character Wang. Don't get confused. Many people have got it wrong." Yang Yu introduced carefully, and waited for Deng Xiuzhen to confirm which two characters they were before he went back with peace of mind.
Deng Xiuzhen looked at Yang Yu's back and couldn't help laughing. Her round oval shape really looked like a potato.
"Where did you go just now? Why didn't you go home?" Qin Yanlin finally found an opportunity to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Deng Xiuzhen turned around and looked at Tan Yanlin with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.
Deng Xiuzhen's expression inexplicably irritated Tan Yanlin, who really wanted to walk away. However, thinking of the purpose of his return, he patiently explained, "There is really nothing between me and Secretary Tian. She injured her leg when she rescued me two days ago. I sent her to the hospital to change the dressing. When she came back, she said her leg hurt, so I asked her to hold onto my arm for strength. There is really nothing else. If you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital to ask, or you can go to my company to ask."
Deng Xiuzhen felt that this was the truth. Perhaps because she had lived for nearly a hundred years in two lives, she was not obsessed with many things, and would not dwell on trivial matters. So when she felt that Tan Yanlin had changed, she never thought about saving him, but planned to give up directly.
Deep down in her heart, she felt that if she were to live her life again, she would either be devoted to love or alone but free. She was not interested in being jealous.
"Then fire her!" Qin Wenjing repeated the previous topic.
"Wenjing, I know your mother has told her to find another job because she misunderstood me. But she has something else on hand now, and she was injured while saving me. I can't just let her go immediately without any mercy, right? How will the other employees look at me then?" Qin Yanlin explained patiently.
"Mom?" Qin Wenjing looked back at Deng Xiuzhen. She felt that what her father said might be true, but she still wanted to ask Deng Xiuzhen's opinion. She wanted to stand on the same side as her mother.
Deng Xiuzhen smiled and nodded at Wen Jing, then asked Tan Yanlin: "What's going on with Qi Guomin? Why do you owe him so much money?"
"The company has expanded a lot of businesses now and is short of funds. I just owe it a little, it's not like I won't pay you back, why is he so anxious?" Qin Yanlin said nonchalantly.
"You owe him too much. His company can't even operate. You can't be like this. You should give him money first, at least part of it, right?"
"The company is really short of funds recently. How about you give him the two million you have?"
Hearing this, Deng Xiuzhen looked at Tan Yanlin quietly and said, "Don't you want me to have money?"
Tan Yanlin lowered his head guiltily. He really thought so. He felt that Deng Xiuzhen's attitude had changed since she had money. She became tough and didn't care whether he was there or not.
If she had no money? If she lived on her own? Would she be different?
I thought so in my heart, but I said, "How could that be? If I thought so, I wouldn't give you the money. The main reason is that the company really doesn't have much working money now, and it's all invested in the project.
How about you come with me to the company tomorrow, and I'll show you the company's accounts and introduce the company's recently expanded business?"
Deng Xiuzhen didn't say anything. She felt that the distance between her and Tan Yanlin had become even greater.
She somewhat missed the days when they had no money. At that time, husband and wife were one, working together for life, taking care of their children, caring for each other, trusting each other, without calculations or guarding against each other. Although they didn't have much money, they were happy and at ease.
Now that he is rich and his living conditions are better, Tan Yanlin has changed. He has become hypocritical, snobbish, and heartless.
And I seem to have changed as well, becoming indifferent, sensitive, and selfish.
The two people's hearts seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
Tan Yanlin glanced at Deng Xiuzhen with some trepidation. This glance made him flustered. Deng Xiuzhen was clearly looking at him, but he felt that she was not looking at him! He felt like he had lost something very, very important. But this feeling disappeared too quickly and he did not catch it.
"Okay, I'll give him the money!" Deng Xiuzhen said, and got up and went to the kitchen.
"Dad, go buy some fruit. I haven't eaten fruit in several days."
Tan Yanlin agreed and went out.
Seeing Tan Yanlin leave, Wen Jing went into the kitchen and whispered to Deng Xiuzhen, "Mom, are you really going to take out all the money?"
"If you were me, would you give it to me?" Deng Xiuzhen helped Wen Jing tuck the loose hair behind her ears and asked softly with a smile.
Wen Jing thought for a while and said, "Mom, I will, but this will be the last chance I give you!"
"The last chance?" Deng Xiuzhen murmured.
"Mom?" Wen Jing was a little worried.
Deng Xiuzhen stopped what she was doing, took Wen Jing's hand and said carefully: "Wen Jing, you are right, this is the last chance.
But, Wen Jing, you must remember: when you don’t have the ability to protect yourself, when you can’t guarantee that you can live well, don’t give anyone a chance, not even once, understand? That’s not giving others a chance, that’s stabbing yourself with a sharp knife! ”
"Okay, I understand. No matter when, you should protect yourself first and then give others a chance, right?" Wen Jing said seriously.
Deng Xiuzhen touched Wenjing's head lovingly and felt relieved. People need love in their lives. Love is a sustenance, a belief, and a support for life.
Everyone is born into this world in pain, then experiences a life of suffering, and then leaves this world either in pain or peacefully.
In this long process, only love will become the light to illuminate your dark journey of life.
If she could only love one person or be loved by one person in her life, she would choose to love her eldest daughter. She would teach her well and try her best to make her happy and safe.
"What are you talking about?" Qin Yanlin came back with a net bag of apples.
Deng Xiuzhen said nothing.
Wen Jing glanced at Deng Xiuzhen and replied, "My mother is teaching me how to cook."
Tan Yanlin filled a basin with water and washed apples while saying, "Xiuzhen, don't worry. When the company is back on track, I will return the two million to you, not a cent less."
