It’s just… Lin Jianxue’s father, Lin Yuefeng, and her father, Shen Weimin, both work at the Red Star Steel Plant. One is the plant director, and the other is the head of the Discipline Inspection Committee. They see each other every day, and the relationship between the two families is obvious.
She couldn't just turn her face away.
Shen Youshan took a deep breath, suppressed the awkwardness in her heart, and tried to make her tone sound calmer: "...What's the matter?"
Lin Jianxue seemed not to notice her momentary stiffness and alienation. With a gentle and natural smile on her face, she handed the brand new violin case that she had been holding in her arms forward and stuffed it directly into Shen Youshan's arms.
"Here, this is for you."
The case is slightly heavy in the hand, with a smooth surface and the unique fragrance of leather and wood.
Shen Youshan hugged him subconsciously, feeling a little dazed.
Lin Jianxue continued with a smile, "I'm going to the countryside in Heilongjiang Province tomorrow. Didn't you use that violin case for a few years? The edges are all worn out. I saw this one while shopping a few days ago and thought it would suit you, so I bought you one. Your birthday is next month, right? Consider it... an early birthday present for you."
"Go to the countryside? To Heilongjiang Province?!" Shen Youshan was really stunned this time and blurted out, "Leaving in one day?!"
Her slight resentment about being exploited was instantly swept away by this even more explosive news.
Her eyes widened as she demanded, "Why are you suddenly going to the countryside? Aren't you from the art troupe? And Uncle Lin is the factory director. According to policy, your family doesn't need to go to the countryside at all!"
In this era, being able to stay in the city for those with urban household registration, especially for cadres' families, is a blessing that countless people envy.
Although the slogan of "going to the countryside and mountains" was loud, everyone knew the hardships involved.
Lin Jianxue is in such good condition, why would she suddenly make such a decision?
The smile on Lin Jianxue's face faded a little, but her eyes were calm: "Well, I want to change the environment, let's start."
This reason is superficial and obviously cannot fully convince people.
Shen Youshan looked at Lin Jianxue's calm face and suddenly understood the reason why she made this decision.
Yes, after experiencing the double betrayal of her husband and the so-called "cousin", and the divorce lawsuit and criminal case that shocked the entire city, Lin Jianxue's state of mind must have been turned upside down.
If you stay in the city, you might be pointed at and talked about wherever you go, which would bring back sad memories.
Leaving this sad place and starting over in a completely unfamiliar place may be the best choice for her.
Thinking of everything Lin Jianxue had endured during this period, and thinking that she would be traveling to Heilongjiang Province thousands of miles away the next day, and she didn't know when they would meet again, the depression and unhappiness in Shen Youshan's heart caused by being "used" seemed to be diluted a lot by the sudden news of separation and gradually dissipated.
When she saw Jiang Yuqi and Jiang Yuning's scandal, she ran to tell her father Shen Weimin so quickly. Besides being shocked and indignant, wasn't there a selfish motive? She was also worried that her father would be implicated in Jiang Yuqi's forged letter of introduction, affecting his work and future.
After all, everyone is a little selfish.
Lin Jianxue used her to pass the message, and she also took the opportunity to protect her family's interests.
Thinking about it this way, that grudge doesn't seem so difficult to let go.
Shen Youshan looked down at the exquisite and expensive violin case in her arms, weighed it in her mind, and still felt that it was too expensive.
