Chapter 70 Relationship Exposed
The next day, when Bai Yuqing came out of class, a middle-aged man was waiting by his car.
He had seen this man's photo on the Internet. It was a professor's personal resume posted on a school's official website. The resume was very long, and every item was extremely valuable.
He is the husband of Ms. Zhou Yuncheng.
When people reach middle age, there are some white hairs mixed in with their thick black hair, but they do not look old. Instead, they have a maturity and stability that comes from having experienced many things.
At this moment, he was wearing a black coat and a pair of gold-framed glasses, and his temperament was gentle and elegant.
"Hello, I'm Yun Cheng's husband, Zhuang Zenian. Do you have time now? I want to talk to you. Is that okay?"
Bai Yuqing looked at the person in front of him and for some reason thought of his biological father.
Not for the dead man, but for Zhou Yuncheng.
A feeling of...joy for her.
She should have been with such a cunning man.
He suppressed his momentary emotion and nodded, "Okay."
They sat in a teahouse.
The aroma of tea filled the air as this elegant man spoke slowly, "As I've reached middle age, I've come to believe in the word 'fate'. Life's circumstances are truly beyond our control. What do you think?"
I don’t know if this is a common problem among professors, but they always like to start their speeches with some mysterious exclamations.
Bai Yuqing couldn't help but think of how every time she met Zhou Yuncheng, she was always direct and decisive, and got straight to the point.
Their personalities really complement each other.
"Yes, I didn't expect to run into my mother here suddenly."
But Bai Yuqing inherited Zhou Yuncheng's straightforwardness after all. When he mentioned Zhou Yuncheng, he still called her "mother".
Zhuang Zenian was stunned when he heard this, then smiled, perhaps he saw the shadow of his wife in him.
"You look a lot like Yuncheng. Do you want to know about the past?" He asked habitually, then smiled and shook his head, "Yuncheng has lost her memory. When she escaped, she kept saying that she would go back to pick you up."
The tea in Bai Yuqing's hand spilled out and landed on the back of his hand.
"Is it hot?" Zhuang Zenian frowned, "Quickly cool it with cold water."
Bai Yuqing refused, "No, please continue."
But Zhuang Zenian insisted and asked the staff to bring a basin of ice water and told Bai Yuqing to put his hand in it.
"Everyone was arranged, and she didn't even have time to sleep before she had to go back. But on the way back, she had a car accident and lost her memory."
"When her parents and I heard the news... well, it was a mixture of emotions. The past memories were too painful for her. If she could take this opportunity to forget them, it would be God's compensation for her."
"But what are you going to do?"
"We were selfish. We didn't consider Yuncheng's feelings and decided to completely sever her connection with the past nine years. We felt like we were obeying a divine gift, cutting the past off from her, and with it, your existence."
The words were cold and heartless.
Having said that, Zhuang Zenian stood up, slowly bent down, and bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.
"I'm sorry, you're an innocent child. All the suffering you've experienced comes from us adults. I'm sorry."
The adults he mentioned included too many people, including the people in that village, and those of them who claimed to have received higher education.
Zhuang Zenian stood up straight, his eyes red and full of pleading, "I beg you for one thing, don't hate Yun Cheng. Because she really loves you."
"When she came back, she didn't even bother to say a word to us. She was just gathering people to pick you up."
Bai Yuqing only felt that his eyes were blurred. He lowered his head and a tear fell into the tea, creating a circle of ripples.
Have you had any resentment over the years?
Yes...
In the beginning, he would climb up a tree every day to look out over the road. He would often proudly tell others, "My mom is coming back to pick me up! To the big city!"
He has to wait for his mother.
Even if he was beaten, he would laugh because he thought his mother was coming back.
But day after day, how long does it take before you feel disappointed?
I can’t remember clearly and I can’t calculate it.
He still remembered a dream he had before the college entrance exam. In the dream, his mother was waiting for him outside the exam room and said to him, "How did you do on the exam? Baby, I'm here to pick you up."
"Yun Cheng wants you to be Xiao Ye's tutor. It's not to humiliate you. It's because she felt a sense of familiarity the first time she saw you."
Zhuang Zenian looked at the young man in front of him. His eyes and eyebrows were so similar to Yun Cheng when he was young. He sighed, as if lamenting his fate, or as if deeply repenting.
After calming down, he continued, "She admires you very much, so she hopes you can influence Ono."
"She asked me to convince you for a week, but I suddenly fell ill, so I couldn't come to you."
"She saw the news about your injury online and couldn't sleep all night."
Zhuang Zenian smiled gently, "You said, family love is so magical."
"Yuqing, if you want, you can come home anytime. You don't need to be a tutor. You can see her, and she can see you."
"But if you don't want to, I won't force you."
"Also... I beg you, please don't tell her about her past, okay? We've protected her for eleven years, and I really don't want her to recall the past."
Bai Yuqing watched the tea leaves rolling in the cup and asked in a low voice, "What if... I'm always by her side and she regains her memory... what should we do?"
"That's fate. Before, we made the decision for her without her permission. Now, I think, if she were to choose, she would choose to remember you."
"Yuqing, I still say the same thing. I won't force you. Just follow your heart."
After saying that, Zhuang Zenian handed over a business card with both hands, "My contact information is on it. If you have made up your mind, you can call me."
Zhuang Zenian left, and Bai Yuqing was the only one left in the box.
Even the aroma of tea and the sound of the guzheng could not calm his heart at this moment.
An idea clamored in his mind, he wanted to see Ajiu.
I really want to see Ajiu.
I want to see her now.
He was speeding all the way, but when he was approaching the film and television base, he suddenly braked and woke up.
He can't go find her, what if he gets photographed?
Bai Yuqing parked the car on the side of the road, held the steering wheel with both hands, rested his forehead on the steering wheel, and gasped for breath.
The cell phone on the passenger seat rang.
The caller was Jiang Jinyue's agent Li Dacheng.
"Do you know that Yueyue is going to be so worried?! Do you know that you two were photographed?! I'm telling you, I've already posted a statement denying the relationship, so don't cause any trouble for me, do you hear me?!"
"Got it." Bai Yuqing only said three words, no longer paying attention to the crazy Li Dacheng, and hung up the phone.
Then he opened WeChat and typed a line of words in Jiang Jinyue's chat box:
[Ajiu, focus on filming, don't worry.]
After Jiang Jinyue finished filming a scene, he saw the fermenting public opinion and Li Dacheng's statement, and frowned.
I called Bai Yuqing as soon as possible, but the number you dialed could not be connected for several times.
