Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 361: Fell into the Water Because of Guilt (1)
"If you just want to apologize, then both Xuanxuan and I have already heard it. We are doing very well now. You don’t need to feel unnecessary guilt towards us."
In the court, Mi Wan is definitely a sharp and incisive lawyer, but in life, she is a wise and generous woman. In the previous marriage, she never truly held a grudge against anyone, even Song Guotao, who let her down—she just considered him a passer-by. Although she couldn’t change the bond between him and Xuanxuan, it had nothing to do with her anymore. So, as for Chen Wenyu, she had nothing she couldn’t let go of.
"I... can we talk?" Mi Wan’s polite and generous attitude gave Chen Wenyu quite a bit of courage. She slowly raised her head, timidly requested.
"Let’s go to the dessert shop over there." Mi Wan did not refuse, looking towards the dessert shop across the street and decisively made the decision.
"Okay." Chen Wenyu agreed readily.
Next, they walked towards the opposite street in single file. Mi Wan walked in front, relaxed and graceful, but Chen Wenyu was different. She was a bit nervous and constrained, intentionally keeping some distance from Mi Wan, embarrassed to get too close.
Entering the dessert shop, they chose a corner to sit down. Mi Wan knew Chen Wenyu felt uncomfortable, so she picked up the menu and broke the silence first. "What would you like to drink?"
"You order for yourself. I just had an abortion and can’t drink anything cold." Chen Wenyu looked down at the table, a trace of sadness in her tone as she spoke.
Hearing this, Mi Wan was surprised. She hadn’t paid much attention to Chen Wenyu just now, and she was wearing a rather loose dress, so her figure was not very noticeable. Thus, Mi Wan didn’t notice anything unusual about her.
"An orange juice and a cup of hot water, please." After the initial surprise, Mi Wan calmly placed the order. Once the waiter left, she finally shifted her gaze from the menu to Chen Wenyu’s face.
"Do you want to protect your legal rights through legal means?" Mi Wan asked tentatively.
"Ha, everything I went through was my own doing. What’s there to protect?" Chen Wenyu gave a self-deprecating laugh, her smile tinged with a bit of bitterness and a hint of weariness.
"He hit you, didn’t he?" Mi Wan’s keen observation skills kicked in. Although she hadn’t noticed Chen Wenyu’s condition before knowing about her loss, she’d noticed the faint red marks hidden under her heavy makeup just within the span of a few seconds.
"Meeting a scumbag, you just call yourself unlucky." Chen Wenyu had come to terms with it, saying in a light-hearted manner.
"..."
"Actually, I don’t know why I came to see you. Maybe I wanted to make my life easier, so I thought of apologizing." Chen Wenyu opened up, "To be honest, I used to be quite jealous of you. I knew you were better than me in every way, but I just couldn’t admit it..."
"..."
"Song Guotao now regrets divorcing you, and he might cause you trouble again. So, be careful." Saying this, Chen Wenyu stood up, continuing, "I have to go, the train is at ten-thirty."
"You’re leaving Jin City?" During the conversation, Mi Wan had spoken little, but this time she asked politely as she saw Chen Wenyu was about to leave.
"Yes." Chen Wenyu smiled, "Jin City is a sad place for me, nothing to linger for."
"..."
"I’ll pay the bill. I hope my coming to you didn’t cause you any trouble."
With that, Chen Wenyu reached for her bag on the chair beside her and walked straight to the counter.
"I’m leaving, goodbye."
After paying, Chen Wenyu turned back and said goodbye to Mi Wan with a slight smile, showing a sense of open-mindedness after rising from the ashes.
In reality, she was a rather beautiful woman. No matter what had happened before, a person who can reflect on themselves and bravely admit their mistakes can’t be too bad, and it so happened that Mi Wan appreciated such people.
"Our meeting this time wasn’t too bad. I’m honored to share your feelings and reflections, and I wish you a safe journey." Mi Wan suddenly stood up, looking at Chen Wenyu’s profile, and smiled warmly.
"Thank you." Chen Wenyu smiled back and then walked out with light steps.
After experiencing hurt and hardship, people always grow rapidly. In just a few months, their lives had undergone earth-shattering changes, and for Chen Wenyu, leaving was perhaps the best choice.
Oh, love, it really drives people crazy, hurts them, and makes them grow!
At this moment, in the quiet dessert shop, Mi Wan sipped her orange juice while watching Chen Wenyu walk away, thinking: women should still love themselves more, learn to be independent, be strong, live with self-respect and dignity. Only by loving themselves can they better love others and be better loved. Therefore, she believed that in the unknown future, Chen Wenyu would find her own happiness.
The Mu Family.
It is said that people are revitalized by joyful events, and this is indeed true. Not long ago, the Mu Family welcomed a new member. Naturally, Song Jialing, who became a grandmother again, was in high spirits, always beaming with joy. This happiness was so bright that it made Su Aiping feel uncomfortable.
"Sister-in-law, you are truly blessed, having both a son and a grandson. Everything is perfect." Su Aiping was strolling in the garden with Song Jialing when she sighed.
"Haha, each of us will go through these stages. Isn’t Shaolei already twenty-eight this year? In a few years, you’ll be holding a grandchild too." Song Jialing was in a good mood, her laughter hearty, her words ringing with vitality. Even the smile lines on her face radiated a joyful curve, at this moment, she was so beautiful that even the flowers beside her paled in comparison.
Looking at Song Jialing, Su Aiping had a faint smile on her face, but there were undercurrents in her eyes as she said, "I do want a grandchild, but Shaolei has no intention of settling down yet. All I can do is wait."
"The children have grown up and have their own ideas; we can’t control them." Song Jialing said.
"Yes." Su Aiping sighed sorrowfully, "The world outside is so colorful that they are reluctant to come back after leaving."
"How could that be? Didn’t Shaolei come back to see you not long ago?" Feeling Su Aiping’s disappointment, Song Jialing immediately tempered her joy and kindly comforted her.
"He came back, but he didn’t stay for long. He kept saying he was busy with work, with little time to even chat with me." Su Aiping’s mood instantly dropped. Her tone was filled with melancholy mixed with complaints, making her look somewhat distressed. Compared to the cheerful Song Jialing, she seemed quite bitter.
"It’s a good thing the child is ambitious. Hongwen has worked hard for decades to build his business, which is waiting for Shaolei to inherit. If you miss Shaolei, you could always visit him abroad and take the opportunity to travel around." Song Jialing consoled.
