Zhang Fengxia didn't know much about Jiang Xiaoyan's situation, but she couldn't bear to make things too tense. In her eyes, Jiang Xiaoyan was a good person, but also a person with a tragic fate. Besides, there was Duoduo, the little guy she had always liked.
"I just want you to spend the New Year together, why are you asking so many questions?" Zhang Fengxia said somewhat unhappily, "These are all my matters, I will handle them myself."
"Your situation? Do you know that your dad, the mayor, is almost ashamed to face anyone? Someone in your workplace wants to introduce you to a potential partner and asks about your situation, but your dad doesn't dare tell them. It's too embarrassing to tell anyone!" Mom's voice on the other end of the phone was full of disdain.
"Then don't come!" Zhang Fengxia angrily hung up the phone.
Lu Feng heard the arguing and came over, asking, "What's wrong?"
"They asked Sister Xiaoyan what to do?" Zhang Fengxia said casually.
She actually wanted to know how Lu Feng planned to handle this matter, so she asked him through her parents. Some things just had to be faced eventually.
Lu Feng sighed, looking somewhat melancholy. He had called Jiang Xiaoyan several times during this period, but no one would lend him the phone. He had thought of calling her parents, but then he thought it best not to cause any more trouble.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Fengxia asked with concern.
“I told her, but she couldn’t accept it. If it were just me back in our hometown, it would be simple; we could just go our separate ways. But the main problem is that we have a child.” Lu Feng sat down, lit a cigarette, and said, “These eight years have been earth-shattering for both of us.”
Lu Feng's memories extend back to 1989. He recounted the situation back then, how his family owed a few cents and was being forced to pay it back. At that time, he was determined to give his wife and daughter a better life.
The journey has been arduous, and while the initial vows have been fulfilled, the original aspirations have crumbled along the way.
Zhang Fengxia could tell that Lu Feng was really reluctant to part with Xiaoyan. It would be a lie to say he wasn't heartbroken. What woman could accept that the man she loved had another woman in his heart?
But that's reality. She knew she had to accept it. If she wanted to stay by his side, she had to accept everything. She had figured this out from the very beginning.
“She’s really had a tough time. If I were her, I probably couldn’t have done what she has now.” Zhang Fengxia was silent for a moment before saying, “Should I talk to her after the New Year?”
“It’s not just a matter of feelings, but also about the company. Hua Sha is practically bankrupt, and the debt is a huge sum of money. If we part ways amicably, what will happen to her?” Lu Feng took a deep breath and said, “You should know her. She doesn’t have much business talent, but she’s a kind person!”
Zhang Fengxia was a smart woman, and she already understood what Lu Feng wanted to do. She sat there without saying anything, even though she had jokingly said before that she and her best friend would share a man.
But if that were really the case, how could it be so easy to accept?
The living room fell silent. Zhang Fengxia felt that not letting her parents come was the right decision, as such a scene could easily lead to a fight.
She knew from the beginning that falling in love with a man like Lu Feng meant she was destined to be different from ordinary people, but such ethics were challenging the bottom line of a highly educated person.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. After the New Year, I think you should go out and work to avoid becoming disconnected from society." Lu Feng stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and said, "You can choose a position at Huasha, United Securities, or the group's newly established investment department. Of course, you can also do it yourself if you want!"
“I accept!” Zhang Fengxia blurted out abruptly.
Which position?
“I accept Xiaoyan’s offer. Since you can’t bear to part with her, then let’s live together. This house is really too spacious for just the two of us,” Zhang Fengxia said to Lu Feng.
The biggest difference between Zhang Fengxia and Jiang Xiaoyan is that she always knows what she wants and dares to make choices. She likes Lu Feng very much and understands that such a person is destined to have many admirers around him.
It's better to have one more person than to have more unseen people outside. Besides, she understands that if Lu Feng can't let go, even if they don't contact each other for the first few years, any further contact will immediately ignite a passionate flame, and she will become the sinner.
Lu Feng looked at her, reached out and pulled her into his arms. At this moment, their hearts were close, and there were no extra words.
