Chapter 87 Golden Hook Fishing - One Break, One Establishment
Back in Mushui, Ayu dragged her exhausted body back to her empty home.
No one lived in the house for a month; it was cold, quiet, and devoid of any human presence.
She sat on the sofa for a while, lost in thought, her mind replaying all the recent events like a movie.
Those helpless nights almost tore her apart.
The month spent with Xingmian can be considered a beautiful ending for the two of them.
Ah Yu finally understood that in this world, no one is anyone's savior, and no one is anyone's destiny. In those most difficult moments and the most painful nights, the only person who can save you is yourself.
She opened the small notepad on her desk, which contained records of ordinary yet happy moments from the past.
The ability to feel joy is truly a rare and precious skill. Once a person experiences one or two major life events, this ability quickly disappears. She felt dazed and confused, as if she wasn't herself anymore.
This notepad used to smell happy every time she opened it, but now she has lost her sense of smell.
[Ayu, I got to eat matcha mousse today, yay!]
[Few customers today, but high average order value. Easy work and profitable, nice!]
Wow, I dreamt last night that I ate so many big, sweet strawberries!
[Ayu! You look absolutely gorgeous today!]
[Beautiful lady, you've been praised as a bright and cheerful sun again today!]
...
She now tries to find joy in these ordinary little things, but her seriously ill father and worried mother are like two stones hitting her heart, making her feel that there is always something left undone.
This worry and concern prevented her from naturally becoming happy about something unless that thing had been resolved.
Besides that, there was another person, and that was him.
No!
Stop thinking about it!
That person is someone you absolutely cannot even think about!
Because whenever she thinks of him, she cries endlessly; that deep longing is like a giant red net, binding, frightening, and causing her pain.
asphyxia.
I dare not recall all those beautiful memories I shared with him.
Because they could no longer achieve any results.
You will always be mine
You will always be mine
You will always be mine
You will always be mine…
She trembled slightly, realizing it was her phone ringing, and then answered it.
"Ms. Xu, we have already made an appointment with Mr. Lu for you. What time would you like to arrive?"
The caller was a capable subordinate that Uncle Lin had found to help her deal with Lu Yang. She was a woman, and it seemed to be her own secretary, surnamed Lu.
Xu Zhiyu composed herself and replied, "It's almost seven o'clock now. I'll pack up and head over right away. Sister Lu, is it just Lu Yang who came tonight?"
Secretary Lu: "We had President Feng call him, saying we wanted to talk business with him. He shouldn't bring any extra people, maybe just a secretary. There will be bodyguards at the door, and I'll go in with you. You can talk to him about anything you want, and I won't stay too far away. But if you mind me being there, it might not be possible for me to go out. Chairman Lin specifically instructed us to ensure your safety."
The woman spoke gently but decisively, which gave A-Yu a lot of confidence.
She straightened her back and said, "I understand, thank you, sister."
After hanging up the phone, Ayu's gaze fell on the photo displayed on the TV cabinet. It was a happy family photo of the three of them.
She walked in, took the group photo in her hand and wiped it, her eyes suddenly becoming firm.
Now that her father has fallen, she is now the head of the Xu family. While it is certainly safe and happy to hide under her parents' protection, she must grow up one day!
What she needs to do now is to face the difficulties head-on and punish the evildoers!
Things are different now. She can no longer give up and escape halfway through her work when she encounters setbacks or difficulties from her boss, returning to her parents' embrace and forever remaining in her comfort zone.
She should straighten her back, stand up and fight back, and deal with it intelligently.
Because her parents couldn't protect her forever, she should stand up for them and fight for justice when they needed protection!
She's such a wimp!
That's so humiliating!
Being confessed to in high school, working hard outside, and dating Shen Siqing are all examples of this!
If she had been more assertive back then, and hadn't cowered in the face of rumors, how could such a small matter have escalated into such a disaster today?
That's right, the significance of climbing to the top of the mountain lies only in being true to yourself.
Fearing hardship will only allow your fate to be manipulated by others, and giving up halfway will only make you prone to escapism and abandonment.
No, this time, she's all alone in this house.
Her parents helped her, Huainan Lane helped her, Xingmian helped her, and Uncle Lin is also helping her!
This time, Xu Zhiyu will not back down—
She needs to help herself.
