Sweet Wife Arrives: Mr. CEO, Please Pamper Me-Chapter 891 - 716: Love Is Crossing Mountains and Rivers, Love Is a Lifetime of Devotion [62]_2
Feng Chengjin went to the company at noon and wasn’t home, so naturally, he didn’t hear what Feng Chengyue had said earlier. At this moment, he had already returned, sitting at his desk, looking at data on the computer while also reviewing the transoceanic documents in his hand.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qiu Zhixuan come back, and Feng Chengjin looked up. He wanted to offer a gentle smile, but upon meeting Qiu Zhixuan’s serious expression, he was taken aback, "What’s wrong with you?"
Ten minutes later, listening to Qiu Zhixuan describe today’s situation at home.
Feng Chengjin frowned deeply, and after a long pause, he said slowly, "In this situation, I can’t do anything either."
"You can’t do anything either?" Qiu Zhixuan looked up in shock, staring at him.
Feng Chengjin nodded. For a moment, he wanted to grab a cigarette, but his fingertips pulled back when he saw Qiu Zhixuan’s pregnant appearance.
With his hands clasped together, he said, "The situation in Doctor Qiu’s village is very complicated. When I was there, I felt something was off. The villagers have mixed morals, some good, some bad. In the past, they indeed helped Qiu Mingyan during his most challenging school days. But people change, especially when facing interests, so you can’t say they are wrong. After all, they did help, and a debt of gratitude remains a debt. In difficult times, if no repayment is made, it’s truly against the basic moral point of humanity. But you can’t agree that they are right either. Some of their backward and ignorant ideas are really bizarre in today’s society."
Hearing this, Qiu Zhixuan frowned harshly, "Isn’t that very difficult to resolve?"
"It is." Feng Chengjin nodded again, "In this world, the hardest debts to repay are those of gratitude. Even for someone like me, once it involves repayment of a debt of gratitude, it becomes very difficult."
When Feng Chengjin spoke to the last sentence, his brows were slightly furrowed.
Qiu Zhixuan knew that Feng Chengjin also had such friends in the business world.
In the past, during the most challenging times for Fengyi Company in the internet field, someone helped him, and later when his company succeeded, the other company declined.
Over the years, Feng Chengjin tried time and again to help that company.
But... that company still closed due to some equity disputes, leaving Feng Chengjin without an opportunity to repay the favor. And that boss is a carefree person, traveling the world. Feng Chengjin couldn’t find the opportunity, feeling like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
Seeing Feng Chengjin’s expression, Qiu Zhixuan’s face gradually turned serious, "So you’re saying that there’s nothing you can do, and Doctor Qiu, being forced to marry by the Mai Family to this extent, will have to marry over there?"
Feng Chengjin sighed deeply, "I guess marriage won’t happen, or even if it does, it won’t develop like you think. Between men, there are some things that can be mutually understood, but..."
Feng Chengjin paused, "This time he couldn’t leave, and being forced by the other family to this extent, I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult for him to leave in the future..."
Listening to Feng Chengjin speak in such a heavy tone, Qiu Zhixuan felt a sadness welling up inside her, almost moving her to tears, while depression began to grow bit by bit.
"Is there no possibility at all?"
"It’s very difficult, unless Qiu Mingyan has some groundbreaking method, but it’s almost impossible. Moreover, I can imagine how painful and desperate Qiu Mingyan’s current mood is; he might not even have the mind for it."
Thinking about her sister-in-law Li Zhi.
Qiu Zhixuan felt waves of pain in her heart, depressed, "It’s still because sister-in-law didn’t help this time. If she had helped and was willing to assist Yu Yu, or at least not put pressure on Doctor Qiu, the situation might not have been forced to this extent."
Feng Chengjin was taken aback when he heard this, not expecting Qiu Zhixuan to express complaints.
However—
He rubbed the ring around his ring finger.
He didn’t deny Qiu Zhixuan’s understanding. Perhaps if he or Qiu Zhixuan had come forward, things would indeed be much better and would not have reached this point. Sister-in-law...
Feng Chengjin felt it was difficult to put into words, especially understanding that his brother had once loved someone deeply but, over the years, never found that love again.
After a long pause, Feng Chengjin gently said, "Let’s not rush yet. After all, we probably can’t consider Qiu Mingyan at the moment; don’t forget, there’s still someone urgent for us to protect right now. Yu Yu refuses to let Dad take action against Qiu Mingyan, so Dad will definitely use this as an exchange..."
Qiu Zhixuan looked up, understanding that it was about Yu Yu’s child... Feeling even more heavy-hearted, she nodded.
...
Da Liang Mountain, Chen Family Village.
At this time, it had been four days since the second incident at the Mai Family and Yu Yu’s breakup and departure.
During these four days, after Qiu Mingyan woke up, he said nothing, did nothing, locked himself in his room, and started smoking one cigarette after another.
Why do men smoke when they’re troubled? No one knows.
But it seems that only this moment of swirling smoke could express one’s current mood.
Gray filled the entire room. He kept his eyes downcast, without any hint of moisture or light in them, except for retaining some shallow contemplation; otherwise, he resembled a walking corpse.
On the nearby table—
Before leaving, Yu Yu took off the ring and returned it to him, and now the intertwined silver rings lay together on the "breakup" note, glaring and heart-stabbing.
His side vision could see it, but he didn’t look at it.
Soon, Qiu Mingjun pushed the door open and came in, carrying a bowl of rice, "Brother, here’s dinner."
Qiu Mingyan did not respond or take it.
Qiu Mingjun’s heart ached with emotion. He put it down, then picked up the lunch from earlier, seeing that it hadn’t been touched, even more so...
But Qiu Mingjun couldn’t do anything, so he could only carry the bowl out.
After a long while, Qiu Mingyan finished smoking a cigarette, extinguished the butt into the overflowing ashtray, then lit another one.
The cigarettes... were nearly finished.
This was the last pack he had brought when he left Rong City.
He wasn’t a heavy smoker, so he managed it well.
It’s just that at this moment...
He and the people from Rong City, the events, had all become like this ash, smoked to the end, the curtain drawn...
With a bitter smile, Qiu Mingyan felt he had nothing left to mock himself with.
He just continued smoking...
Until he paused for a moment, there was a noise in the yard. Mai Family—Mai Shixiong had arrived...
