Chapter 451 Memorial Service
In August, Wei Yang received a call from his eldest sister, who said that the college entrance examination was about to be reinstated, that she and Su Hong had remarried, that Su Hong had been transferred back to the university as president, and that the higher-ups were going to hold a memorial service for Old Chen, and that Wei Yang was to inform Wei Zhao to bring the children back to the capital.
Holding a memorial service would prove that Old Chen has been exonerated.
But the person was already dead.
However, it was ultimately a good thing, so Wei Yang immediately went to Wei Zhao's office and told her about it.
Wei Zhao had never imagined this day would come, and when it did, she simply stood there, stunned.
"Sister, the college entrance examination is about to resume. The announcement will probably be issued soon. You should take the child back."
Wei Zhao nodded, "I have to go to Old Chen's memorial service, and the children have to go too."
They can now walk proudly on the streets of the capital.
When Wei Yang returned home at noon, he said to Song Lubai, "Find a way to inform Heping and tell him to make the most of his time to review."
Song Lubai calculated that the time was almost up, and she had already sent a telegram to her mother, telling Zhang Jianshe to hurry up and review.
Old Chen's memorial service is scheduled for twenty days from now, and Wei Zhao needs to hurry back with the children.
She went to see Chen Yu on the same day she received the notification.
“Your father has been exonerated. His memorial service is in twenty days. Come back with me.”
From any perspective, Chen Yu has to go back.
But remembering the past, she didn't have the courage to set foot in the capital.
Wei Zhao knew what she was hesitating about, so he patted her shoulder and said, "It's all in the past. As long as you don't take it to heart, no one can hurt you again. If you're willing, tell me their names, and I'll go back and figure out how to deal with them slowly."
There's no reason to let those people off the hook.
In the dead of night, whenever Chen Yu thought of those people, she felt breathless.
"Auntie, I'll go back with you."
Wei Zhao nodded. "Okay, you pack up. We'll leave the day after tomorrow."
Wei Zhao left, and Wang Dong, carrying the child, came into the house and asked, "What did your aunt want to talk to you about?"
After listening to Chen Yu's words, a smile appeared in Wang Dong's eyes.
“Let’s all go, it’s your father’s memorial service after all.”
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Don't go. I have other things to take care of when I get back. Although you know about those things, I still don't want you to come with me."
Wang Dong sat down in front of her and said, "Chen Yu, are you planning to spend your whole life here? Why not take this opportunity to go back to the capital? Your father was framed and lost his life. He should make it up to you. This is an opportunity!"
Chen Yu looked at him in disbelief.
She wasn't stupid; her experiences from childhood made her realize that Wang Dong might have been wearing a mask when he was with her.
She could hardly believe that Wang Dong was that kind of person, but listening to his incessant words of persuasion…
“The past is the past. I don’t mind it anyway, so you shouldn’t dwell on it too much. But Chen Yu, you’ve lived in the capital, and I’ve lived in Yangcheng. Do you know how backward this place is compared to big cities? It’s not even as good as a county town in our province. Are we going to live here forever?”
Chen Yu said with a stiff face, "So you mean you want me to stand on my father's reputation and corpse to ask for benefits?"
Wang Dong paced back and forth, holding the child. "How can that be asking for something in return? It's what you deserve! Given the contributions your father made during his lifetime, it's what you deserve! If you don't want it, then your father's death was in vain!"
Chen Yu suddenly snapped out of her argument and frowned, saying, "I've never told you my dad's name, yet you seem to know him very well."
Wang Dong said, "More than ten years ago, I went to the capital with my uncle. My uncle entered your courtyard, and I waited outside your alley. I saw you there. You had two braids and were wearing a blue-green dress. You looked the same as when I met you again. You were always unhappy. I wondered why you always looked so sad."
Hearing him mention the past, the sharpness in Chen Yu's eyes lessened somewhat.
“But Wang Dong, I really don’t want to go back to living there. If you want to go to the memorial service with me, I won’t stop you, but I won’t live in the capital anymore.”
Wang Dong put the child on the bed, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and said, "If you're not going to the capital, come to Yangcheng with me. I'm a native of Yangcheng, and you know about my uncle's past..."
As Chen Yu gradually regained consciousness, she waved his arm away. "That's enough. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay right here. If you want to leave, I won't stop you, but you don't have to go to the memorial service."
Wang Dong said irritably, "Why won't you listen to me no matter what I say? Have I not explained myself clearly enough? We might end up like this for the rest of our lives here. You have no ambition, no drive. You should think about the children! Don't you want to give the children a better life? The opportunity is right in front of you!"
Chen Yu said coldly, "Don't use the child as an excuse. You only married me because you saw the signs of trouble after your uncle's downfall. You don't like me at all! Everything you said before was a lie!"
Wang Dong scratched his head in frustration. "Haven't I been good to you? Don't confuse things. We're talking about..."
"Shut up. Don't think I'm easy to manipulate. You're good to me, and I'm willing to live a good life with you, but I won't agree to what you're saying today."
Wang Dong wanted to say, "Then let's get a divorce," but after weighing the options, he didn't say it.
Even if he didn't go to the capital, with the relationship between Chen Yu and Wei Yang and Song Lubai, his future wouldn't be too difficult, but he was always unwilling to accept it.
He once held immense power, but now the mundane routine makes him feel utterly bored.
If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another one.
The child cried during the couple's argument.
Hearing the child crying, Chen Yu silently stepped forward and picked up the child.
"If you feel that marrying me didn't achieve your goals, then let's get a divorce. The children will stay with me; you can't take them away from me."
She said these words with remarkable calmness.
Wang Dong stood there with his hands on his hips, looking at her for a long time. He sighed and said, "What kind of person do you take me for? If you don't want me to go to the memorial service, I won't go. From now on, I'll stay here with Mom and the kids and wait for you to come back."
Wang Dong put his arm around Chen Yu's shoulder again.
An eerily peaceful atmosphere settled between the couple.
Chen Yu added, "It wasn't my fault in the past. I don't feel like I owe you anything. If you think I should be inferior to you because of this, then there's no point in continuing our relationship."
She understands everything, but she rarely shares her thoughts with others.
She thought Wang Dong was a very, very good person, and although she has now discovered that he is not, she will not be coerced by him.
Wang Dong patted her shoulder twice more to indicate that he understood.
Hearing that things had quieted down inside, Wang's mother anxiously called out from outside the door, "You two should be at peace. Don't fight. Fighting hurts your relationship."
Wang Dong responded.
