I admit, Jinhai’s developnt to its current scale is your achievent, but without the support of my family, even with your boundless abilities, you would only be an ordinary person struggling to survive.
All I want now is an official heir status for my daughter.
Is that too much to ask for?”
Shi Zhenhua remained silent, staring at a dining table that the average person could hardly dream of, and smiled.
“iLing, sotis I wonder, what would have beco of today, Shi Zhenhua, if back then I sought benefits from your parents like you did today with that young man, and then made a clear separation from you?”
ng iling did not speak.
“Hand the pen.”
Shi Zhenhua seed to say.
“Since you’re so well-prepared, I’m sure you brought a pen?”
ng iling, without a word, took a Montblanc fountain pen out of her bag.
A simple pen, its price requires several thousand dollars, in US dollars.
She placed it on the table, sliding it over.
Shi Zhenhua picked it up, opened the agreent, and on the last page, with bold strokes, calmly signed his na.
Then he closed the agreent, and handed it back to ng iling, pen included.
“Don’t leave tonight, stay and rest.
Do it for Qian Qian.”
————
Shi Qianxi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the lavish scenery in a daze.
She had not lived here since birth, as far back as she could rember, it seems they’d moved many tis.
Moving into this estate seed to coincide with the year she started college.
Every ti they moved to a new ho, it was always bigger and more luxurious than the last.
It was as if for that reason, her life beca emptier and lonelier.
She rembered, when she was young, her parents were not like this; at least in her vague mories, she could still hear their laughter and joyous voices.
But why did it seem, the better their life beca, the quieter and lonelier her family turned?
“Knock, knock, knock…”
The sound of knocking arose.
Shi Qianxi ca back to reality.
“Co in.”
ng iling entered the room.
“Mom.”
“Your mom will sleep with you tonight, do you mind?”
Shi Qianxi was taken aback, then quickly shook her head.
ng iling ca over to her side, silent for a while, then softly said, “You don’t need to think too much about your dad and .
No matter what, our relationship with you will always remain unchanged.”
“But we’re no longer a family.”
Shi Qianxi whispered dejectedly.
She was very aware that from the mont her mother brought up divorce, the final result was already set in stone, beyond her ability to change.
“Has anything changed?”
ng iling, seeing her daughter’s crestfallen mood, finally cracked a faint smile.
“He’s still your father, and I am still your mother.”
“Mom, did you ever truly love Dad?”
Shi Qianxi couldn’t help but ask.
“Of course.”
ng iling replied without hesitation, “If I didn’t love him, why would I have defied so much pressure to marry him against all odds?
I know, the gap between your dad and is indeed very wide; our origin alone determines that we see the world from entirely different perspectives.
We both tried our best.”
ng iling looked out the window.
“But many things in this world can’t be achieved through effort alone.
This outco, I was prepared for it the mont I decided to marry him.”
“If you knew you might not walk through life together, why did you choose so resolutely to marry him in the first place?”
Shi Qianxi challenged, unable to understand.
ng iling’s expression was calm and unemotional, as she gazed at the landscape outside the window.
“Qian Qian, not every couple is ant to grow old together.
In your surroundings, you must have seen many.
I’ve said it before, this ending is also a result, it’s just perhaps not as we wished.”
This woman, who once defiantly went against the will of her entire family and later overturned her own initial choice, spoke in a transcendent and unhurried tone: “Whether it’s to grow old together or drift apart, there’s not much difference – it’s just about how long that person has stayed in your life.”
Shi Qianxi struggled to adjust to her mother’s serenity at this mont.
“Mom, aren’t you sad at all?”
ng iling was silent for a while, then turned her gaze back from the window to her daughter.
“The greatest regret in this world isn’t loss, it’s not cherishing what we have when we have it, and then being caught off guard when it’s ti to part.
When I was with your dad, I truly wanted to be with him.
When together, we were sincere; so when parting, we can naturally do so with peace of mind.
Your dad thinks the sa.”
ng iling gave a slight smile.
“Love cos willingly, and after it’s over, there’s no regret.
That’s an ideal ending.
Besides, aren’t you the best gift from the encounter between and your dad, arranged by fate?”
“Mom, are you just putting on a brave face?
It must be because after Dad beca successful, he neglected and drifted away from you, so you chose to leave him, right?”
ng iling fell silent, rely stroking her daughter’s black hair.
“Go take a bath.”
Shi Qianxi bit her lip and didn’t press further.
Suddenly she put on a smile and coquettishly said, “Mom, let’s bathe together.”
“You’re an adult now, still asking your mom to bathe with you.
Don’t you feel embarrassed?”
“You’re my mom, what’s there to be embarrassed about?”
Shi Qianxi, full of anticipation, said, “Then how about this, Mom, can you wash my hair?
It’s been such a long ti since you did that for .”
