Chapter 10 (5)
There is no other way but to wait.
Yu Rui had inquired everywhere, trying to find a solution, but Han Guang's situation seemed too far-fetched, too big, and completely beyond her control. After a while, once the "news" had faded, even Weng Yue's calls became rare. Yu Rui's understanding was that perhaps Han Guang had anticipated the trouble ahead and had "entrusted" his orphan to her care. After all, Weng Yue was Xiqian's aunt, and could provide for her.
Thinking about it more carefully, was it no coincidence that Han Guang had "cut ties" with Weng Yue before? He knew, he knew everything, that's why he was anxious. She still remembered what he said to her in the car - let her go next week - the Human Resources Department did offer compensation and wanted to fire her. But the choice was hers. Yu Rui made up her mind that as long as the company didn't go bankrupt, she would sit here forever. Waiting desperately. Another wave of news came, a rumor. It said that Han Guang would be sentenced to twenty years. Just like that "old friend". Yu Rui was dazed after hearing this. Twenty years, how old would he be, how old would she be? She didn't dare to think about it, her whole life would be folded into it.
Ye Cha called, purely out of concern. "Girl, what do you mean?" They had a good personal relationship. After leaving his job, Ye Cha became an executive at another listed group, overseeing all the group's paperwork.
"Go!" Yu Rui was rude to him.
"Why don't you get off the boat? Your life or death is at stake." He held his breath.
"Everyone has their own aspirations."
"Really in love?"
"I'll get you into trouble if you keep talking nonsense."
"Sister," Ye Cha said, changing his style from Westernized to earthy—because the current leader of the New Group liked this style—"I advise you not to get yourself involved. It's not—worth it."
Being able to say this, Yu Rui understood that Ye Cha and she were friends for life and death. From the bottom of her heart. She was on the front line, and the duck knew first when the river water warmed in spring, how could she not understand it? However, she had to do it for her own heart. Thinking about it carefully, she felt ridiculous. Who was she? An assistant who was advised to quit but refused to quit, not even a lover. His family and children were hiding abroad, so why should she be "loyal" to him? Does it make sense? But she couldn't escape her feelings for Lao Han. She couldn't say whether she loved him or not. This relationship contained many complex elements, including love, respect, and loyalty. She admired Han Guang and felt that he was worth following and worth waiting for.
Worst case scenario, he was imprisoned. Then she'd have to start over, to begin a new life. If he could get out, she'd be there for him. That Chu Shishi was just like that, even older. Life needs a strong heart. She loved Han Guang's richness, his complex fate, the reflection and epitome of the entire era in him. With Han Guang, she felt like she was at the center of a hidden part of the era, and every day felt fulfilling.
After another day of sitting, Yu Rui came down from the skyscraper in the evening and stopped by Jiajie's shop. Yu Jia was busy delivering takeout. She asked Yu Rui if she was hungry. Yu Rui just ordered a drink.
There weren't as many people at night as at noon. Yu Rui sat in a corner, facing the door. She tilted her head to look at Jia Jie, bustling about. She admired Yu Jia for having survived such a turbulent time. This was a second spring for her. Putting Li Ren aside, Jia Jie was living her own life. Yu Rui thought of Yuan Kai again. She had known this "secret" for a long time—Bai Yuankai had some feelings for Yu Jia. But would it blossom? It was hard to say. Therefore, she remained uncertain.
This is life. How can there be any stability in life? After being busy for a while, Yu Jia took some time to sit with Rui. She asked about the group's affairs, and Yu Rui briefly explained. Yu Jia was troubled. She was always able to think from other people's perspectives and put herself in other people's shoes. "We can only wait." Yu Jia said. She also felt Yu Rui's feelings for Han Guang, and they could understand each other through their words. Yu Rui nodded. Yu Jia said again: "Maybe it's a good thing." Yu Rui was stunned for a moment, not understanding. Yu Jia smiled and said a line of the lyrics, "When you have seen through the wind and rain, who can accompany you to watch the long flow of water."
Yu Rui understood immediately. Yes, it was an opportunity. But she had never considered scheming, always following her heart and letting things flow. Three people came through the door. Yu Rui felt familiar.
It was Li Renmei! Before she could even reach out to greet him, Li Renmei said, "Smash it!" The two burly men swung their iron bars and started smashing it all over the place.
The guests were running around. Yu Jia was startled and turned to stop them, but accidentally fell to the ground.
Yu Rui stood in front and shouted, "Stop! Call the police!"
The burly man paused, fearing he might be drawn to the shrill voice. Li Renmei took a few steps forward. Two chefs, an old woman and a young man, ran out of the kitchen, knives in hand.
Yu Jia climbed up and stood in the middle. "Don't move!" Yu Rui took out her phone and tried to make a call. Yu Jia stopped her and said, "Don't call!"
Li Renmei said to Yu Jia angrily, "Do you know where you went wrong?"
Yu Jia said sadly, "Little sister, you can't be unreasonable--" in a long tone.
Li Renmei said, "You want to reason? I'll fight you to the end, whether it's civil or military. You've ruined my brother's reputation, and you deserve it ten times!" Yu Rui was about to step forward to argue, but Yu Jia stopped her. Fearless, she walked up to Li Renmei and said, "Little sister, when your brother was alive, I was his wife, and after he's gone, I'll still be his. In everything, I've always adhered to one principle: conceal evil and promote good."
Li Renmei laughed in horror, "Exposing and reporting, is this how you conceal evil and promote good?"
Yu Jia said, "I can't lie to the organization! Your brother had already asked for a divorce from me before he died. As for whether he had someone else or what the situation was, I don't know, and I don't want to know. Even if he had someone outside and the organization thought it was serious, I wouldn't care. A dead person is gone, what's the point of getting angry at the dead? As for the final conclusion, whether the merits and demerits offset each other, or whether the demerits do not outweigh the merits, I can't decide! This is the decision of history. Little sister, I think you are a sensible person. We are both women. I don't want to tell you about my sister-in-law's suffering. I just want you to know the truth and let you weigh it in your heart. What is right and wrong, merits and demerits? I opened this store not only for myself, but also for Sisi. She is going back to China soon. I hope she can have some support in the future!"
Yu Jia spoke and Yu Rui quickly sent a message.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yuankai led three people in, ready to "fight with force." Yu Jia looked at Yu Rui and realized that she was the one who called the people. She was afraid that if a fight really broke out, the matter would become a big deal and difficult to resolve. "Bai! Go back!"
Yuan Kai was in a dilemma. Li Renmei sneered, "Alright, find some help! Humph, I can take on three of them alone!" She looked like she had practiced Sanda.
"What a coincidence, I'm fighting five alone, two more than you." Yuan Kai also has a sense of humor.
Yu Jia shouted, "This is a family matter! Go back!"
Yuan Kai did not move, and stood in a standoff with Li Renmei and the other three.
"There are other people in the company." Bai Yuankai played psychological warfare.
Li Renmei said, "You always have to be there! You've got guts!" Then she turned around and said, "Retreat!" and quickly led her men away. Instantly, Yu Jia's muscles relaxed, and he slumped in his chair. The two chefs put down their knives.
Yu Rui spat across the street, "A family of bandits!" Yu Jia was filled with anger, guilt, and heartache. This was the shop she had worked so hard to build, and it would take a while for it to recover after being smashed like this. Yu Rui was her sister, so it was easy to talk her out. Xiao Bai was witnessing the state of her ex-husband's family for the second time. An ignorant, reckless, willful, and rude sister-in-law leading a group to smash up the shop was simply unbelievable.
She was a little annoyed that Yu Rui had called Xiaobai over. Bai Yuankai, Yu Rui, and the chef cleared the chairs from the shop, along with the fallen toothpick box, salt shaker, broken vinegar bottle, and soy sauce jar. Bai and Rui wanted to comfort Yu Jia, but Yu Jia waved her hand and said, "Everyone, go back." Bai Yuankai wanted to ask a few more questions. Yu Jia said firmly, "Everyone, go back." She would clean up the mess.
Yu Rui and Yuan Kai exchanged a glance, helpless, and could only leave first. Yu Jia's phone rang. She checked the number and saw it was Yu Meng calling. She pressed the answer button and asked weakly, but she heard the other party's voice trembling. It was not loud, but she understood the general meaning. Yu Jia stood up and trotted to the door. "Don't go!" she called to Yuan Kai and Yu Rui.
The situation was urgent. She was also at a loss. In her entire life, she had never encountered such a situation. Li Renmei's cold weapon attack was nothing compared to what Yu Meng had experienced. Bai Yuankai and Yu Rui turned back.
Yu Jia explained the situation incoherently. His words were jumbled, but the meaning was clear enough. Yu Rui was equally dumbfounded. Bai Yuankai gritted his teeth and said, "How about I go over there?"
"No! You can't go!" Yu Jia shouted subconsciously. She couldn't let Xiaobai take this risk. But Yu Meng was in danger, on the verge of death. What should I do? What should I do? ! Yu Rui blinked anxiously. Bai Yuankai flipped through his phone, looking for someone who could help. "Contact the embassy," he said. Yes, he could. But it might be too late. Yu Jia felt her heart pounding. She took a deep breath and picked up the phone again. At this point, she believed that this person had the right to know Meng's situation.
