Lan Yue had a hard time calming down after Ji Yueze left. She didn"t expect her son to finally find out about her father. They must be in a bad mood too.
Who gave them the pictures? If it wasn"t her, and it wasn"t the old lady, who could it be?
Lan Yue"s emotions were in turmoil, and she was momentarily unable to guess what was going on.
At that moment, a phone call came in. She looked at it and smiled.
"Vivian!"
Xia Weiwen"s voice came over the phone, "I"ve decided to retire early!"
"Why?" When Lan Yue heard this, surprise filled her eyes.
"I"m already 53 years old, and I"ve long pa.s.sed the age of combo. I"ve decided to sell out all the shares in my name and give all the money to Youyou, so I don"t want to tire myself out this much. If I want to return to the country and spend time with you and Youyou, I might as well leave some time to mend my wounds!" Xia Weiwen"s voice sounded a little tired. Recently, he had been dealing with the issue of the company"s share transfer, so he decided to move the company out.
After Lan Yue heard his words, her expression calmed down. "You decide your own matters. I won"t interfere with your decision. It"s time for you and Youyou to truly enjoy the joy of being together after missing each other for more than twenty years."
"When I was young, no matter how much money I earned, it wouldn"t be enough. Thus, I desperately worked hard to earn, but I only found out when I aged that I had enough money. There are many things more worth pursuing than money." Xia Weiwen sighed.
"En, money is a good thing, but there isn"t enough time. Youyou will definitely need you. It"s good that you"re back!" Lan Yue said gently.
"One more month and I"ll be back. Take care of yourself." Xia Weiwen"s words were filled with worry and concern for her.
"I have a good life here. I often go dancing, practice the zither, and make a few friends!" Lan Yue said with a smile.
"Alright, after I return home, let"s dance and practice together!" Xia Weiwen had an inexplicable yearning to live like this.
"We... Is this still possible? " Lan Yue"s mood was indescribably sour. In the past when they were living together, the two of them were just singing together and living a life of mutual love. But now, could the two of them really return to the past?
Xia Weiwen was also silent. Yes, he could only think about it.
"Xiao Yue, I"m sorry, I was the one who asked for a divorce!" Xia Weiwen suddenly opened his mouth, his tone full of self-blame and apology.
Lan Yue immediately shook her head and denied it. "No, I"m the one who has let you down."
"Alright, let"s not keep pus.h.i.+ng things around like this. When we return home, there will always be a time for us to meet again." Xia Weiwen laughed.
"Yes, and there"s still a long way to go until we"re old and can"t walk anymore!" Lan Yue was also laughing, but tears were flowing out of her eyes.
"I"m hanging up!" Xia Weiwen finally hung up after enduring the pain.
Lan Yue reached out her hand to wipe her tears away.
Tang Youyou promised to eat together with Tang Youkang, but she didn"t expect it would happen so soon. At noon the next day, Tang Youkang called her again.
Although Tang Youyou didn"t really want to go, she agreed and could only go take a look.
This time, Tang Youkang didn"t reserve a place in the private room. Instead, he was dining in a very conspicuous hall.
Tang Youyou didn"t mind. Tang Youkang came over to take a seat first. When Tang Youyou arrived, she asked him, "Didn"t you say there was still someone here?"
"Yes, I"m not here yet. Youyou, let"s have a cup of tea first!" Tang Youkang Li placed the teacup in front of her and exclaimed, "Youyou, I often think of Lan Lan recently!"
Lan Lan was Tang Youkang"s ex-wife and Tang Youyou"s foster mother.
Tang Youyou"s expression changed slightly. "Is that so?"
I really doubt it!
However, Tang Youkang said with a sad face, "I"ve seen through Meng Lijuan. When a person"s career is down, it"s easiest to see through the people around. She only wants my money!"
Tang Youyou snickered in her heart. It was really laughable to see her clearly now.
"Lan Lan is so nice. She has never disliked me being poor." As Tang Youkang said this, his eyes turned red.
Tang Youyou glanced at him. She thought to herself that perhaps it was after experiencing great setbacks and setbacks that he finally understood the pain. It was indeed pitiful. It was only when he was old that he realized he had been married into an outrageous family.
"Mom is very good, a very good woman. It"s just that the heavens let her go too early!" At this point, Tang Youyou"s face turned ugly. Didn"t Tang Youkang and Meng Lijuan make her angry the main reason for her mother"s death?
Tang Youkang covered his eyes with his hands, unable to reply. He knew that the death of his ex-wife had something to do with him.
Just as the father and daughter pair were frozen in place, an elegant voice rang out, "What kind of expression is this?"
When Tang Youyou heard this voice, she raised her head abruptly and saw Ji Shangqing pull up a chair opposite her and sit down.
"Why is it you?" Tang Youyou was shocked.
Tang Youkang quickly wiped his tears and introduced him with a smile, "Youyou, he is my new boss, Mr. Ji! You all should have known each other for a long time! "
Tang Youyou frowned. How could she not recognize him? Ji Xiaohan kept reminding her to stay away from this person.
"Miss Tang, it"s fate!" Ji Shangqing said to Tang Youyou with an elegant and friendly smile.
"Ha ha!" Tang Youyou gave him these two words.
However, Tang Youkang"s expression was one of panic. He was afraid that Tang Youyou"s cold tone would make Ji Shangqing unhappy.
He quickly peeked at Ji Shangqing"s reaction. Fortunately, Ji Shangqing wasn"t unhappy at all, and continued to speak while beaming: "Did Miss Tang misunderstand me?"
"No!" Tang Youyou took a sip of her tea and said, "I"m curious, how did you become subordinates?"
Tang Youkang quickly explained, "Youyou, now that I think about it, I really have to be grateful to the Young Master Ji. If it wasn"t for him giving me a job, I would really have starved to death."
"Mr. Tang is too polite, you are a talented person, how can you be buried?" Ji Shangqing smiled and said politely.
Tang Youkang"s impression of Ji Shangqing was simply too good. He felt that this young man was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and did things calmly, but most importantly, he would not look down on others. He loved to deal with this kind of young man, and if his daughter Xuerou was not crazy, he would immediately introduce her to Ji Shangqing.
Tang Youyou"s brows creased even more when she heard this. She felt that things were not so simple. There were a lot of talented people and Tang Youkang was not young anymore. Why did he choose him after being so picky?
"Miss Tang, what do you like to eat? Just order, I"ll treat you!" Ji Shangqing said with a smile.
"Ah, how can I be embarra.s.sed? Young Master Ji, you said I will treat you to di
er!" Tang Youkang immediately spoke up in shock.
"With a beauty present, how can we miss out on such an opportunity?" Ji Shangqing joked without slowing down in his laughter.
Tang Youyou suppressed her anger and said flatly, "I feel like it would be more appropriate for you to call me sister-in-law."
