"From what you're saying, I'm the one in the wrong?" Yu Qianying said, feeling wronged.
"No, you should be angry, but can you forgive them after you're angry? Song Yu is pregnant. If you worry about this matter all day, it won't be good for her and the child. I can tell that both of them value this child very much. If anything happens because of this — "As Xia Wenna spoke, she took out a pack of tissues from her bag, pinched one out, and wiped her tears before blowing her nose.
"Song Yu is my daughter. Don't I care about her? Do I want anything to happen to her?" Yu Qianying gritted her teeth and choked with sobs. "But think about it from my point of view. Someone destroyed the company that the Qi family had been running for so many years. Overnight, you moved from the villa to this small apartment. In order to survive, you have to rely on others. When you go out and walk in a slightly more prosperous place, you have to worry about running into people from the past and being ridiculed by them. Song Yu's work often required her to go to business meetings. She had met her former classmates from Jixia Academy countless times in Sheng Yue and was mocked by them countless times. Song Yu studied at B University, and many of her classmates from Jixia Academy also got in. Song Yu worked and studied at the same time. Those people talked about Song Yu every day. The whole school was saying that Song Yu used to be a rich young lady, but she fell from grace and was not worth mentioning. They said that she was obviously down and out, but she still put on a noble appearance. Song Yu didn't stoop to their level, but that doesn't mean she should quietly bear these things. "
Yu Qianying also took out a piece of tissue to wipe her tears. "If you go out to work as a part-time worker and bend over to mop the floor every day, can you stand it? Can Qi Zhongliang drive a taxi in the middle of the night? Then one day, you suddenly find out that your son-in-law is the person who destroyed the Qi family. He married your daughter and made her pregnant with his child. How do you feel? Forgive? It's easy to say the word 'forgive'. Anyone can say that, but if you didn't go through what we went through, what right do you have to ask for our forgiveness? "
"Qianying," the old lady said slowly. She didn't call her "Xiao Yu" as she usually did. "Let's not talk about these things for now. I heard from Song Yu that because of this, you don't even recognize her anymore? You want her to choose between Chengzhi and you? "
Yu Qianying pursed her lips and stopped talking. She sniffled and silently wiped away her new tears.
The old lady sighed and turned to look at Song Donglin. "Do you think so too?"
Song Donglin shook his head. This was Yu Qianying's idea. He couldn't go against Yu Qianying in front of Qi Chengzhi.
Moreover, the reason why Yu Qianying was so angry was because her heart ached for the suffering and grievances he had suffered.
The old lady nodded and looked at Yu Qianying. "Qianying, since you said that you want to put yourself in their shoes, what would you do if your parents asked you to choose between Donglin and them?"
"But Old Song didn't destroy our Yu Family," Yu Qianying said.
"Yes." The old lady nodded and sighed faintly. "But Song Yu loved him, loved him so much that he could forgive him, continue to live with him, and bear his children. You can hate, you have the right to hate, but you also have to give others the right to forgive, right? Song Yu chose to forgive. You can't hate her just because of Song Yu's choice. You have suffered a lot, but have you ever thought that Song Yu has also suffered a lot? When the Song Family went bankrupt, you had already experienced all kinds of storms. You were strong enough to bear and face it. But Song Yu was only 17 years old at that time. At such a young age, she had to bear a lot more than you. You also said that at that time, Song Yu's tuition was earned by working and scholarships. She worked and studied, so she didn't take a penny from the family. In fact, you two only needed to be responsible for other living expenses. After Song Yu graduated and started working, you two retired early. In terms of age, the two of you retired much earlier than most people in society. The legal retirement age is 60 for men and 50 for women. Donglin hasn't reached that age yet, right? You still have a year to go, but you two have long stopped working and enjoyed life at home. It's all because Song Yu worked hard to make money outside to support you two. In terms of tiredness and pressure, she is more tired than you two. "
Yu Qianying's eyes drifted away. When the old lady mentioned Song Yu, her expression became guilty.
The old lady gestured at the width of Song Yu's shoulders. "Think about it. She is a little girl. Until this year, she is only 26 years old. She has shouldered the whole family. Her thin and thin shoulders have shouldered the whole family. In terms of hardships and tiredness, which one of you can compare with Song Yu? Others graduate from college, or even higher, graduate, master, or doctorate before they can really go out into society. But Song Yu went out into society when her family went bankrupt at the age of 17. Such a sensible child, do you have the heart to let her choose between the people she loves? She has suffered more than you, but she has forgiven Chengzhi. As the person who has suffered the most, she has the right to make a choice for herself, right? As a child who has shouldered the family all these years, do you really think you have the right to force her to make a choice? Or think about it carefully. Do you have the heart to force her to make such a choice? "
Yu Qianying's lips trembled and tears flowed down.
The old lady sighed deeply. "I understand you. As a mother, she wants her child to be well. The best thing to do for her now is not to force her, isn't it? She has been unable to live according to her will for too long. She is also a human. She only has two thin shoulders. We can't give her any more pressure. Song Yu is pregnant and can't take so much. It's time to relax, right? Qianying, we are not here today to ask you to forgive Chengzhi. We are here today for Song Yu. To be honest, I really feel sorry for Song Yu from the bottom of my heart. For Chengzhi to be able to marry a wife like her and make her my granddaughter-in-law, I am grateful and happy from the bottom of my heart. I am also glad that I have such a good granddaughter-in-law. Song Yu is a good child and a kind child. She will not choose between the two of you. She can't leave Chengzhi. I don't need to say it. You also know that. You can continue to hate Chengzhi. This is what he deserves. He created this sin himself. If he wanted to do this in the beginning, he has to bear the consequences now. As his grandmother, I will not plead for him. But don't make things difficult for your own daughter. "
Yu Qianying lowered her head and didn't look at the old lady and Xia Wenna. She didn't know if it was because of the old lady's words that made her feel guilty.
"Xiao Yu." The old lady resumed the way she addressed her. She stood up and exhaled slightly. "I know you are a very kind and reasonable person. Think about what I said just now. Song Yu has been in poor spirits these few days. I feel sorry for her when I see her so haggard. "
Yu Qianying's lips sometimes tightened and sometimes relaxed. Her chin trembled as she stood up with the old lady.
"Wenna, let's go." The old lady grabbed Xia Wenna's hand and let her support her.
Yu Qianying followed behind without saying a word. Just based on the old lady's seniority, no matter how angry she was at the Qi family, she still had to respect the old lady, right?
When they passed by the kitchen, the old lady saw the things that Xia Wenna had placed in the kitchen. She turned to Yu Qianying and said, "These things are not gifts of apology. Even ordinary in-laws have to bring some gifts when they visit, don't they? If these things are considered as our apology, not only will they insult you, but they will also insult us. Xiao Yu, if you hate the Qi family very much now, and you don't like the things we brought, then give them to others. "
The old lady didn't seem to mind much and left with Xia Wenna.
After closing the door, Yu Qianying returned to the living room. Her chest was very stuffy. When she walked to the door of the living room, she smelled a cigarette. She saw that Song Donglin had started smoking again when she sent the old lady and Xia Wenna away.
"Why are you smoking again?" Yu Qianying sat down and wanted to pull the cigarette out of Song Donglin's mouth, but he avoided her.
Since Yu Keyao left on Sunday, Song Donglin started smoking. These days, whenever he was depressed, he would smoke, so Yu Qianying's body was always stained with the smell of cigarettes.
Yu Qianying sighed heavily. Suddenly, she heard Song Donglin say, "I've thought about it for a long time."
Yu Qianying quickly turned to look at him. Song Donglin spoke very little these days. He almost didn't speak much. After quitting smoking for so many years, he suddenly started smoking again. At this moment, his voice was very hoarse.
"What the old lady said makes sense. I also thought a lot about what Song Yu said that day. In fact, we have never reflected on ourselves. At the beginning, we never thought about whether Song Yu was happy or not. We only knew that we provided her with a rich life. Our family background allowed her to rise to the upper class and marry into the Qi family. It was good for her. We let her not worry about life and let her be carefree. But is she happy? In fact, think about it carefully. Since she was a child, we have never asked for her opinion on any decision. "Song Donglin dragged the trash can from under the coffee table and flicked the ash into it.
"When she was young, we let her learn the piano to train her temperament. Besides, all the daughters of the upper class have to have one or two skills. We didn't ask her if she wanted to learn or if she liked it. We told her, and she did as we said. Originally, I wanted to train her as the successor of the company. I also told her about it. I didn't ask her if she wanted to do it. I just informed her that the company would be managed by you in the future. Later on, when she mentioned the joke about you and Xia Wenna's pregnancy, she put her and Qi Chengji together and got the two children engaged. At that time, we knew that she liked Jian Yi, but we didn't ask her for her opinion. Even if she didn't like anyone at that time, we didn't ask her if she wanted to marry Qi Chengji or if she could live with him in the future. "
Song Donglin sniffed and took a puff of his cigarette. His eyes were red and his throat was sore.
"Do you remember the day when she heard that we had decided to let her get engaged to Qi Chengji?" Song Donglin looked at Yu Qianying.
Yu Qianying opened her mouth and said slowly, "She cried. That was the first time she objected to our decision. She asked us if she could not get married and asked us why she did not even have the right to love freely. I told her that everything was for her own good, and then she ran out. She came back in the afternoon dejectedly. On the day of the engagement, we had dinner with the Qi family. She was very quiet and rarely spoke. When she got home, she hid in her room. After that, I didn't hear her object anymore. It seemed that her personality had returned to normal, so I didn't care. "
Song Donglin took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled white smoke. "Actually, the old lady was right. We ordered her to get engaged, and she was not happy at all. Actually, until our family went bankrupt, she never lived for herself. She lived for us. Even after our family went bankrupt, she lived for the family and shouldered all the responsibilities. Maybe her major in university and her current job were the decisions she could really make for herself since she was born. "
"She has done so much for us. Our family went bankrupt, and she suffered the most. Since she can forgive Qi Chengzhi, we don't have the right to criticize her, do we?" Song Donglin put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can.
He sighed. "Qianying, that child has sacrificed so much for us. Compared to those, I feel that her forgiving Qi Chengzhi is actually a small matter. Isn't it too harsh for us to not acknowledge her because of this? I really feel that I've let her down now. "
Yu Qianying couldn't help but cry. Thinking about what she said that day, and thinking about the pain Song Yu had suffered, she also regretted it.
They had suffered, and Song Yu had suffered a lot. She had the right to forgive Qi Chengzhi. No one could say anything, and no one could blame her for it.
"I also know that I was too harsh with what I said to Song Yu that day. She is my daughter. How can I not acknowledge her? If she insisted on living with Qi Chengzhi, I couldn't say anything, and I couldn't force her to do anything. She is even pregnant now. Can I really break them up? But I really can't forgive Qi Chengzhi. I can't help but hate him when I see him. "Yu Qianying took out a tissue and wiped the tears on her face.
"I know. It's enough that you can forgive Song Yu. That's enough." Song Donglin gently patted Yu Qianying's back.
…
…
Mu Huaisheng heard the knock on the door, but his eyes didn't leave the computer. When the secretary opened the door and said that Yu Keyao had arrived, Mu Huaisheng nodded lightly, and the secretary closed the door.
Yu Keyao walked to Mu Huaisheng's desk and stood still. Mu Huaisheng then looked at Yu Keyao with a distant expression. During work time, business was business.
"What is it?" Mu Huaisheng asked lightly.
Yu Keyao twisted her fingers, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped. She received a call from Yu Zidong yesterday, saying that for some reason, Qi Chengzhi had started to deal with Dong Hua again.
Although Yu Zidong didn't know, when Yu Keyao heard it, she immediately thought of how she went to Song Donglin and Yu Qianying to talk about bankruptcy.
She didn't expect that Qi Chengzhi would really throw away his dignity to deal with their family.
What she said was clearly the truth, and she didn't frame him.
With the company, at least she still had the title of a rich young lady and had a chance to make a comeback. But if Dong Hua was completely finished, then there would really be no hope at all.
"Boss Mu, I …" Yu Keyao took a deep breath. "I know you have a good relationship with Qi Chengzhi. If he attacks our company again, my father won't be able to hold on much longer. Can you … Can you talk to him and ask him to let go of his hand? If he is dissatisfied with our family in any way, we will apologize. "
Mu Huaisheng leaned back in his chair expressionlessly and looked at Yu Keyao with an ambiguous gaze. He said calmly, "Why would Qi Chengzhi attack your family for no reason?"
"I …" Yu Keyao hesitated. She didn't want Mu Huaisheng to know what had happened in the past.
Mu Huaisheng didn't wait for Yu Keyao to answer. He took out a checkbook from the drawer, wrote down a number, tore it off, and handed it to Yu Keyao.
Yu Keyao took it and looked at the number on it. She looked at Mu Huaisheng in surprise. "Five million?"
"I won't go looking for Qi Chengzhi. You know very well why he wants to deal with Donghua. This five million can be considered a gift from the previous few times. After today, we are just superiors and subordinates. " Mu Huaisheng's voice was still elegant and gentle. Even his expression was elegant and scholarly, gentle and calm. "You said that you want to save Dong Hua. This five million may be of some use."
But Yu Keyao didn't expect his words to be so cold. A relationship ended just like that, without any warning at all.
She held the check that Mu Huaisheng handed over, her face pale. According to what he said, this five million was for her to spend the night. It could even be considered as buying her first time.
Even though she was the one who took the initiative to ask him, he still made her feel particularly cheap.
Mu Huaisheng looked at Yu Keyao's reaction coldly and said in an indifferent voice, "Actually, I hate mixing my work and my private life together. There was such a small episode this time, but it's the only time. Let's put an end to our relationship in time. If you want to continue working in the company, you have to be clear about your work and don't think about having anything to do with me. If you think it will be awkward to see me in the same company, I can help you find another job. "
In fact, that night, he was mostly impulsive. Yu Keyao's helpless and innocent look reminded him of Ruan Danchen. When she was framed by Mu Sisi, Ruan Danchen was also so quiet. Although she didn't say much, she looked lonely and helpless. At that time, Mu Huaisheng saw it and wanted to hold Ruan Danchen in his arms, comfort her, and give her support.
In Yu Keyao, he seemed to see some similarities between him and Ruan Danchen. However, Yu Keyao wasn't Ruan Danchen. After two or three times, he knew that he could no longer find any feelings of love, pity, or even appreciation in Yu Keyao.
Ruan Danchen's helplessness was hidden by her, but it was still seen by those who were observant. In fact, she was strong and even a little stubborn. She didn't like to show it to others. But Yu Keyao was different. After a few times of contact, he knew that Yu Keyao liked to show weakness and liked to give people a weak image.
Compared to Ruan Danchen, she was too pretentious.
Moreover, Yu Keyao's request wasn't as simple as just one night. Although she didn't say it, he could see it. He didn't intend to develop any relationship with the female subordinates in the company. Yu Keyao was fresh to him and overlapped with Ruan Danchen's shadow. Other than that, there was no other reason.
Today, Yu Keyao came to find him and asked him for help with her family's matter. She had already crossed that line, and Mu Huaisheng didn't intend to give her such an unrealistic fantasy.
Five million was considered high for her, and he hoped it could shut her mouth.
"Are you like this because I came to find you for help with my family's matter?" Yu Keyao's face was pale and her voice trembled as she asked.
She looked delicate and pitiful. Tears were welling up in her eyes and were about to fall.
"I was going to make it clear to you today, but you came to find me." Mu Huaisheng looked at her indifferently, without any personal feelings.
Yu Keyao's heart kept falling. Before the two of them did it, she could see a little bit of affection in his eyes, but now it was all gone.
"I've said it before, I don't want to climb up to you." Yu Keyao's tears flowed out of her eyes. She raised her trembling hand and said, "I'm with you … not because I want money or anything else."
Mu Huaisheng's expression was still gentle and elegant, but his eyes were so indifferent that it made people's hearts go cold.
