He reviewed his journey.
He had been in the entertainment industry for four years, or perhaps even longer?
Over the past four years, he had gained a lot of fame and won a lot of awards. From an unknown graduate of Media College majoring in broadcasting, he had climbed to the top of the domestic entertainment industry step by step and made his way into the Asian entertainment industry step by step. He had almost reached the pinnacle of Asia and was just one step away from standing at the top of the Asian entertainment industry. This was the pinnacle of his career so far. During this period, he had also gained feelings, gained a family, gained a baby that would be born in a few months, and he was about to become a father. This was the most prosperous, high-spirited, and glorious time for him.
Now he had to throw everything away?
Work?
Wife?
Children?
It was too difficult.
All these years, Zhang Ye had never had it smooth sailing. He had always been fighting and killing his way through. Along the way, he had also made many difficult decisions. But this time, it was different. The decision he had to make this time was too difficult and rushed. Zhang Ye did not even have any time to prepare.
However, in his heart, he already had an answer.
However, he felt that he couldn't make this decision alone. If he did, it would be unfair to many people.
…
In the afternoon.
Old Wu's siheyuan.
Zhang Ye drove over. When he entered the yard, he heard the voices of his parents. In the north room, there was a lot of laughter. He did not know when his parents had arrived.
He pushed the door open and entered the house.
His mother looked over. "You're here?"
Zhang Ye smiled. "When did the two of you arrive?"
His father smiled and said, "We just arrived too, so we came over to see Zeqing."
"Little Ye, come and have a seat. What tea would you like?" Li Qinqin asked.
However, his mother harrumphed and said, "Don't bother about him. Let him pour it himself. This kid is too far away from home now. He hasn't come back for two days. What a sight."
Li Qinqin said gently, "Little Ye is busy with work, so we have to understand."
His mother said, "I don't think he's busy, but I think Lotte Mart is extremely busy."
Wu Changhe smacked his lips and said, "Little Ye, why have you been so unlucky recently? You can even fall into a well twice. Watch your steps. Oh right, something happened to your fan club again. Did you know about it? Why is the leader of your fan club a world-famous hacker? It won't implicate you, will it? "
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I won't."
Li Qinqin said, "That's good."
Everyone chatted with each other.
Zhang Ye also sat down and chatted with him.
However, Wu Zeqing did not say a word. From the moment Zhang Ye walked through the door, she had only taken a glance at him. She remained silent from beginning to end, with only a smile on her face.
Not long after.
Li Qinqin stood up. "It's time to cook. Everyone, stay and eat."
His mother said, "Let me help."
At this moment, Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "Then I'll go back to the room with Little Ye to talk for a while."
Wu Changhe said, "Go on with your work."
Zhang Ye quickly helped her up. "Slow down."
Wu Zeqing smiled. "I'm watching. It's fine."
After crossing the threshold, the two of them returned to the west room.
The moment they entered, Wu Zeqing stopped smiling and looked at Zhang Ye. "What happened?"
Zhang Ye was taken aback. He felt that he was not much different from his usual self today. His parents and Old Wu's parents did not notice anything out of the ordinary. But Old Wu was too smart. Be it IQ or EQ, even a hundred Zhang Ye's added together could not compare to her. Zhang Ye did not even need to say anything to her to know that something had happened.
Zhang Ye smiled bitterly. "Something did happen."
Wu Zeqing asked, "Is it very serious?"
Zhang Ye nodded. "Yes, it's very serious."
He told Old Wu everything that had happened, starting from how he beat up Lee Anson after the Spring Festival Gala, to how he was sent to the Internet Surveillance Bureau, and finally today's incident. Actually, Zhang Ye knew very well that he still had another choice, which was to keep quiet. Now that the 5 × difficulty had ended, even though the evidence pointed to the Internet Surveillance Bureau's office, everyone was suspecting Fan Yingyun. It was the same for both the Koreans and the Chinese. No one thought that it was Zhang Ye. If Zhang Ye did not say anything, Fan Yingyun would definitely be the one to shoulder the blame.
This choice was the best for him.
But this choice was not on Zhang Ye's list from the start.
But Zhang Ye still told Old Wu about it. He thought that Old Wu would hesitate, but Wu Zeqing did not.
The first thing she said when she heard about it was, "There's no reason for us to let others shoulder the blame for our own problems." Then she fell silent for a moment before saying, "I understand."
Zhang Ye hesitated. "But —"
Wu Zeqing said, "You've already made your decision. There's no need to ask me."
Zhang Ye said, "How can I do that? This is a serious matter."
Wu Zeqing said, "Is he around?"
Zhang Ye was taken aback. "If he's around, he won't die."
Old Wu smiled. "As long as he's around, nothing is a big deal. Do what you think is right, and I'll support you."
"But these past few years —" Zhang Ye did not know what to say.
Old Wu put her hand on his. "You don't have to worry about anything else. I'm here at home."
Zhang Ye pondered for a moment. "Old Wu, isn't it —"
Before he could finish, Wu Zeqing interrupted, "Don't apologize. My husband is a man of indomitable spirit. He wouldn't do anything against his conscience, nor would he apologize to anyone."
But the more she said that, the more Zhang Ye felt guilty. If Zhang Ye were alone, he could do whatever he wanted to do. He would dare to take on anything no matter how serious it was. But it was different for him now. He was no longer alone. He had a wife and a child, and he really owed too much to his family. Be it as a husband, as a child, or as a parent, he felt that he was too incompetent.
Wu Zeqing asked, "When are you leaving?"
Zhang Ye said, "I want to finish the concert. I've promised too many people this, so there has to be an end to it."
Wu Zeqing nodded. "OK."
"I won't be going anywhere for the next few days. I'll just stay at home to accompany you," Zhang Ye said.
But Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "You don't have to stay here. There's still a lot of things to take care of for your concert. There's also a lot of other things to prepare for before you leave, so just focus on your work."
Zhang Ye said, "Should I tell our parents about this?"
Wu Zeqing considered it for a moment and said, "Don't tell them. I'll let them know when the time comes."
Zhang Ye nodded, but he still looked hesitant.
"You can't bear to?" Old Wu asked.
Zhang Ye gave a wry smile and crouched down. He gently hugged Old Wu's belly. "I can bear to part with anything except my parents and the two of you."
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "It's not like the two of us can run away."
Zhang Ye said, "You're such a good wife. I'm just afraid that she'll run away."
Wu Zeqing consoled, "You had originally planned to leave the entertainment circle for a few years in two months. But now, you're just changing the format, so it's all the same. You must have been exhausted after all these years, so you can take this opportunity to rest for a few years. When you come back in a few years, you'll just have to start all over again."
Zhang Ye said, "OK."
The decision had been made.
Although this was a very difficult decision for both of them.
Suddenly, Wu Zeqing said, "Little Ye, why don't you sing a song?"
Zhang Ye said, "Sing?"
Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "I suddenly feel like listening to it."
Zhang Ye also smiled. "Alright."
A guitar was placed on the bed.
Zhang Ye picked it up and tuned it. He plucked the strings several times but couldn't play it. He closed his eyes and felt very conflicted. Countless images flashed through his mind.
Career.
Trophies.
Wife.
Children.
He had given up all the most important things in a man's life today.
What kind of feeling was this?
Zhang Ye probably couldn't even describe it himself.
Over there, a woman's hand was tightly gripping his.
Zhang Ye looked to the side and smiled. His smile suddenly had a hint of coolness to it.
He plucked the strings.
In the kitchen.
His mother and Li Qinqin pricked up their ears.
"Who's playing the guitar?"
"It's probably Little Ye."
"Why are they singing now?"
"Hur hur, they're probably rehearsing for a concert."
In the west wing.
The singing slowly started.
"All the glory of yesterday.
"Will turn into a distant memory.
"I've worked so hard for half my life.
"Tonight, I walk into the storm again.
"I can't go with the flow.
"For the sake of my loved ones.
"No matter how hard it is, I must be strong.
"Just for the sake of those expectant eyes.
"As long as my heart is there, my dreams are there!
"There's still true love in this world!
"Looking at success or failure, life is heroic!
"It's just starting all over again!
