Life is more than just living

After ending his chat with Chen Xu, Han Yidao stood in silence in the messy new house for a long time until Liu Jingsheng called and asked where he was. Han Yidao gave Liu Jingsheng a position.

Liu Jingsheng found this place more than half an hour later. The door was not closed when the decoration workers left. Han Yidao stood blankly at the window, not knowing what he was thinking. Liu Jingsheng came over and asked him angrily, "Han Yidao, what do you want? You don't care at all about Chen Xu's recent affairs. Don't you want to go on with her? I didn't expect you to be such a coward. People. Chen Xu is already suffering so much. She just wants a stable job. Wouldn’t it be the same if she didn’t get admitted and go back to Dragon City? It’s not that far away. If you really love her, you can go to Dragon City. . Or maybe transfer Chen Xu over after a while because of the trust relationship. Just because Chen Xu returned to Longcheng, you look like this. Are you deliberately making Chen Xu feel uncomfortable? "

Han Yidao didn't look back, still looking at the lights outside, "You don't know anything. I suddenly felt that I didn't have the ability to give Chen Xu happiness. Since I couldn't give her happiness, why did I have to hold on to her? You also said that Chen Xu has suffered so much. I hope she is happy. Happiness does not have to be given by me. Sometimes letting go is a kind of fulfillment."

Liu Jingsheng looked at the sawdust on the ground and felt it was very annoying, so he pulled Han Yidao and said, "Let's go drink." Han Yidao shook his head, "No, you can't drink while driving." Liu Jingsheng said, "Then let's go drink tea. I have some." Let me tell you." Han Yidao shook his head and said, "I don't want to go, I don't want to talk to people I don't know, can I go to your house?" Liu Jingsheng nodded.

When the two of them were sitting on the sofa, Liu Jingsheng looked at Han Yidao and said, "The place you sit is where Chen Xu usually likes to sit." He poured a cup of tea for Han Yidao. Han Yidao said: "Liu Jingsheng, I suddenly understand why Chen Xu likes to come to your home. It is very quiet here, as if you can stay away from the noise and helplessness of the world."

Liu Jingsheng looked at Han Yidao, "You are a man, don't be like this. You can't lose confidence just because Chen Xu chose to return to Longcheng! Chen Xu also had no choice but to leave." Han Yidao sighed and said, "I know! She is under a lot of pressure. , neither of my two mothers accepted her." Liu Jingsheng was stunned when he heard what he said, "What? Two mothers?"

Han Yidao looked at Liu Jingsheng and said, "Chen Xu regards you as his brother, and I also regard you as a good buddy. I might as well tell you. I have never told anyone else that this is a very bloody thing, and it happened to me: I Meng Xiangyu and I were born in the same delivery room, and were held in the wrong arms after birth. But my biological mother, Meng Xiangyu’s current mother, discovered that the child was held in the wrong arms when I was about ten years old, but for some unknown reason , she has remained calm, and has been bringing me and Meng Xiangyu together since then. My current mother discovered that the child was carried by the wrong person, and she and Meng Xiangyu soon recognized each other. Meng Xiangyu didn’t think it was anything, but I was This was quite conflicting, so we never recognized each other. My biological mother made it clear that she was unwilling to accept Chen Xu, and even went to my grandmother's house to demonstrate to my grandmother. The stupidest thing I did was to check the surveillance in front of Chen Xu , when my mother’s dissatisfaction with Chen Xu’s various slanders was presented in front of Chen Xu, how could she feel so embarrassed? You know that Chen Xu is a very stubborn and proud person.

That day when I went to the Dragon City Organization Department to fill out a form and came back to stay at your house, I found Chen Xu’s luggage here. It suddenly occurred to me that Chen Xu had already thought about quitting. The reason why her luggage was placed here with you was not only because Because there was little room in my grandma’s house to put it, but she didn’t want to be too embarrassed when she took it away one day. It was my incompetence, I didn't know how to handle it. Although I expressed my attitude to my biological mother and adoptive mother over and over again, and declared to the two families that I was destined to win Chen Xu, but nothing happened. use. No one cares what I think, everyone does what they think. I have a headache, and Chen Xu can't do anything about it. I originally thought that if Chen Xu could work here, the two of us could register our marriage at all costs. But being so far away, I have no confidence that our feelings will fade with distance. I can't guarantee anything now, and I have no confidence. What do you want me to do? If I can't handle things well, can I keep Chen Xu waiting for me? How long does a girl's youth last? I have no idea what to do next now. "

Liu Jingsheng looked at him and nodded, "I finally understand why Chen Xu decided to return to Longcheng." Han Yidao looked at him, wondering what he meant? Liu Jingsheng stood up, walked back and forth in the room twice, and then sat down irritably, "I don't know if Chen Xu told you, I guess he didn't. With Chen Xu's character, he doesn't want to embarrass you. On the day Chen Xu took the civil service examination, your biological mother called her. She should have called her before she entered the examination room in the morning, because when she came out of the examination room at noon, Chen Xu told me that Meng Xiangyu’s mother had invited her to dinner. I was very worried at the time. I was surprised that she and Meng Xiangyu’s mother had dinner together, but because the hotel I booked was also the same, I didn’t take it seriously. When we arrived at the restaurant, about half an hour after the two met, Chen Xu came to the hotel where I booked Room. She didn't eat and was in a very bad mood. Looking back now, it must have been your mother who said something unpleasant. Chen Xu didn't take a few bites of food at noon and had no appetite at all. It was me who forced her to eat a few bites of vegetables. , on the way to the examination room in the afternoon, she was absent-minded. She said she did not do well in the exam that afternoon. I guess it has a lot to do with your mother. To be honest, your mother is a bit sinister. She deliberately chose At this time, I just don’t want Chen Xu to do well in the exam. The phone call in the morning will have some impact on Chen Xu, but the phone call may just be an appointment. Noon is the key, and it will have a big impact on Chen Xu. I guess Chen Xu Xu must be waiting for the results to come out to see if he can pass the exam and then reposition your relationship. Because he failed to pass the exam, Chen Xu gave up facing you and fled here to Dragon City. It was not because she had suffered too much It took so much trouble to escape, but the two of you have reached a deadlock, and you can't get out of it for a while. As the saying goes, you can't stand without breaking. Chen Xu is calm in dealing with things. She wants to find a way out for the future of the two of you, so don't do this. It looks like you need to cheer up and think about how to solve the problem?"

Han Yidao suddenly burst into tears in front of Liu Jingsheng. He lowered his head and let the tears fall to the floor without raising his head. "Jingsheng, don't laugh at me. I have wanted to cry for a long time. I really don't know." What should I do? I can't leave here now because my grandmother is here. My grandmother is over 80 years old and cannot be left alone. If I want to go to Dragon City, my grandmother will definitely support it, but I don't worry. If I take it with me If grandma leaves, I’m afraid that someone as old as grandma will not be able to adapt to an unfamiliar environment.”

Han Yidao covered his face with his hands, "It's very difficult for me now. I argue with them and make trouble with them, but it doesn't work at all. No matter what I say, I can't change anything, which makes me very powerless. I'm in a dilemma now: I don't want to delay Chen Xu, but I'm reluctant to let her go. The reason I don't dare to see her off is because I'm afraid we'll never see her off again. I don't know if the new house I bought can still be used, but I can only stay here every day. That’s where I can have a little confidence. I’m really incompetent, but I really don’t know what to do? Who can tell me what to do?”

For a moment, Liu Jingsheng also fell silent. Should Chen Xu and Han Yidao get married? Can two people who are not blessed be happy?

Liu Jingsheng said after a long while: "Since your mother has known about your life experience for a long time, she didn't make it clear. She just brought you and Meng Xiangyu together. Is it possible that it was for the Han family's property?"

Han Yidao nodded, "I think so. Seeing that the Han family's family fortune is getting bigger and bigger, maybe someone will be tempted! People often talk about billionaires, but how many people really see how big a few hundred million is? Where is the pile of money? It’s not surprising that some people are coveting it.”

Liu Jingsheng nodded, "Thinking about it this way, the idea becomes clear. It's not surprising that she would deliberately choose the day of the exam to ruin Chen Xu's mood and prevent her from doing well in the exam. After all, if Chen Xu was admitted to the prosecutor's office in this district, even if it was only for one It is an ordinary civil servant job, but it can be regarded as a decent job. In that case, if there are other elders who support it, your mother will have less power to oppose it, so she deliberately made an appointment with Chen on that day with malice. Xu."

Han Yidao held his head in pain, "That's why I don't know what to do now. I can't stop her from seeing Chen Xu, it's impossible to prevent her. That's why I agreed to Chen Xu leaving, but if Chen Xu really left, I I’m sad again. Apart from running the company and renovating the house, I don’t know what else to do. My grandma is now in her final years, and I can only stay here to accompany her. If I insist on being with Chen Xu If so, my biological mother will continue to harass my grandmother, which is also detrimental to the health of the elderly. Now I suddenly find that my grandmother has cultivated my modest and gentlemanly style, which is really hurting me. If I can be as willful as Yu Yangyang, or like If Ma Mingchuan was so domineering, the result might be completely different, but I just can't do it."

Liu Jingsheng didn't know how to comfort Han Yidao. The amount of information today is indeed a bit large. I never expected that Han Yidao would have such an experience.

Liu Jingsheng knows how difficult it is to get married without the blessing of his parents. Liu Jingsheng's father, Liu Weiguo, was an officer in the army. Because he was stationed in a difficult area, he could only go home to visit relatives once every few years. Han Hui was alone at home with her children, and Liu Weiguo felt sorry for his wife and children. After repeated consideration, he gave up the opportunity for promotion and transferred to the People's Armed Forces Department. Although he was still an active soldier, he aroused the thunderous wrath of Liu Jingsheng's grandfather. He feels that a good man should be ambitious in all directions and should not be greedy for family. The old man regarded Han Hui as the culprit, and always spoke harshly to Han Hui, and also beat and scolded Liu Weiguo. For many years, the couple had lingering fears about going to Beijing. Liu Weiguo didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but it was his father and he had no choice. Now, Han Yidao is the same. No matter how hard he wants to fight for his own happiness, the fact that he can't change is that Li Lanfeng is his biological mother. More importantly, Han Yidao is a person who values ​​love and justice, and he cannot do anything disobedient or unfilial. Liu Jingsheng was very worried about the future of the two of them. If Chen Xu left Han Yidao, what would Han Yidao do? Suddenly I found that I seemed to have become the elder brother of two people at once. Alas, it seems that the elder brother is not that easy to do.

There were fewer cars on the streets late at night, so Liu Jingsheng drove Han Yidao back. Originally, he wanted to keep Han Yidao at his house, but Han Yidao said that if he stayed out at night, his grandmother would worry about him, so he had to send him back.

It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening when he got home. Han Yidao walked in quietly. Unexpectedly, the light in the living room was still on and Wu Sixian was still waiting for him. Han Yidao hurriedly walked over and said, "Grandma, it's so late, why don't you rest? I came back late and made you worry."

Wu Sixian looked at his grandson and said: "After Chen Xu left today, I thought for a day that I was the one who dragged you down. I know that neither of your mothers accept Chen Xu, but now Chen Xu has gone to work in Longcheng. , you can go with her. You can go there to find a job, do business, or even take the civil service exam. But you didn’t go with her, is it because of me? I’m so old. You still have a few years of good life, so I can’t hold you back. So, don’t think about me, don’t miss Xiaoxu, this is a rare good boy. In this life, choosing a partner is a big deal. The right choice will lead to a happy life, but the wrong choice will ruin your life! My child, go pursue your happiness. When you are happy, grandma will be happy to see you. You go to Longcheng, and I will hire a full-time live-in nanny. "

Han Yidao shook his head firmly, "No! Grandma, I can't do that. Please fulfill my filial piety! You raised me when I was young, and I raised you when you are old. Isn't this normal? Besides, even if I run to Dragon City Go, will Li Lanfeng let me go? Won’t she covet the Han family’s property? Grandma, sometimes I believe in fate. I bet that Chen Xu and I have a future, so I can wait. I’m not ready yet At the age of 30, Chen Xu is two years younger than me. I will work hard for a few more years to show them that I can create wealth myself. There is no need to think about other people’s money. Grandma, it’s too late. Let me help you rest. !”

Liu Jingsheng drove home and tossed and turned unable to sleep. He calculated the time and it should be dusk in Birmingham now. He sent a message to Lin Zihan: Zihan, are you settled over there? Is everything going well? Soon, Lin Zihan sent back a photo of the library: Brother Jingsheng, I am studying in the library. Try to go back as soon as possible. Come on for me!
