Chapter 3
He was silent for a long time. She looked at him, noticing that his face was a little solemn, "Is it because of Ai Qing? I told you that their family helped me when I was young."
"She was the trigger. I'm tired . Xiao Qi, I don't want to love you anymore."
"..."
He looked at her without speaking for a long time. The setting sun shone into his eyes, but she couldn't see the emotion in his eyes.
She didn’t know how long it took him before he said, "You sure about this?”
"Yes, I’ve made up my mind."
"Okay, I respect your decision."
She had always been very curious about how Xiao Qi would react if she told him that she wanted to break up with him. She loved him so much that she had put up with many things. He had long been used to the way she obeyed him, but now she was breaking up with him.
Would he be sad? Would he beg her to stay? Or he would remain as indifferent as usual.
He had thought of all kinds of possibilities, but she still felt sad for herself when she heard his answer in such a straightforward manner.
He had probably waited for her to say this. His coldness was just to drive her away. He didn't like her, but he couldn't refuse her. He just wanted to wait until she gave up.
He did it, she really gave up on him.
In fact, she wanted to tell him that once she let go, she wouldn't look back, but she felt that it was unnecessary. He wouldn't care, and it was over, it was no longer important what she would say.
When Meng Yu came out from the balcony and wanted to leave, Ai Qing hurriedly said, "Aren't you staying for dinner? I made dumplings."
Meng Yu stopped. She looked at this woman named Ai Qing. After a long time, she smiled coldly, "before I even broke up with Xiao Qi, you already brought your child to this house, couldn’t wait to be close to him? Isn’t this what you want? We are both women, so stop acting. You think I don’t know what you are thinking? Just because your marriage didn’t end up well, you want other women to suffer as well. With this kind of mentality, you will ruin your child as well.”
Meng Yu’s words could be said to be unceremonious. However, her relationship with Xiao Qi was over, so she didn’t need to please anyone. Therefore, she naturally just said what she wanted to say. Since there was a chance to vent her dissfaticiton, why not do it?
‘Since you make me unhappy, I’ll make you unhappy before I leave.’
The smile on Ai Qing's face froze, and her expression gradually became ugly. She glanced at Xiao Qi and then at Meng Yu, her eyes faintly revealing an offended anger, but her eyes quickly teared up, showing a pitiful look. “Qi Qi helped me find a job. I don’t know how else I can repay him. I just came over to cook for him. The relationship between you and him is your business, so do you have to be so rude?” She said sadly.
"You have many ways to repay him, but you still choose to cling to him when you know that he has a girlfriend. You clearly have no self-respect."
"Meng Yu!"
Xiao Qi interrupted her sharply.
Meng Yu looked at him coldly. Xiao Qi couldn't help but be dazed. In his memory, the eyes she looked at him were either gentle or infatuated, even when she was throwing a temper, she would fake her anger. This was the first time Meng Yu looked at him with such cold eyes.
Meng Yu said, "It's really rare to see someone who can't wait to be a father of someone else’s child. Anyway, you are not a good thing either. It seems that you two are a perfect match, so I wish the two of you a long-lasting relationship."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left, Xiao Qi looked at the closed door but did not respond for a long time.
This was the first time he heard Meng Yu belittle him. She always looked up to him. She would alway regard him as an idol. She once said that she liked everything about him, even his shortcomings.
But just now, she broke up with him.
She even said that she was not a good thing either.
When she said these words, her eyes were cold and unfeeling, as if he was really the one who she wanted to get rid of and made her sick.
Such Meng Yu made him feel strange.
After Meng Yu left, Ai Qing wiped her tears and murmured, "It's all my fault, it's me..."
"It has nothing to do with you." Xiao Qi interrupted her.
"Did you really break up with her? Don’t you want to chase her?"
Xiao Qi was silent for a moment and said, "No. Once she figures it out, she will come back by herself."
Leaving Xiao Qi, Meng Yu was not completely without feelings. After all, she had been in love with him for almost ten years. Even if the disappointment had accumulated to the point where they had to break up, she still felt reluctant.
After Meng Yu went back, she moved, resigned from the original studio, changed her mobile phone and all contact information, and then blocked all Xiao Qi's numbers, and she began to travel around.
She saw the vastness of the Sahara, stood on the top of Mount Tai and admired the magnificent clouds rolling at her feet, she dived into the sea to admire the colorful colors of the sea, and also took a boat trip on the lake to experience natural beauty sung by poets thousands of years ago.
She went to many, many places, seeing the mountains, rivers and oceans while slowly forgetting Xiao Qi. But forgetting was not an easy thing. At first, she was totally unwilling to appreciate the scenery. She always thought of Xiao Qi, thinking of the moments she spent with him over the years. After dreaming of him at midnight, tears always wet her face. She even wanted to call Xiao Qi on many nights, but she held it back eventually.
She walked all the way, making her heart strong all the way, and finally slowly came out of her sorrow, she began to experience the joy of traveling.
She went to many places she wanted to go. Originally, she wanted to travel around the world. She planned to travel for two years, but when she traveled for a year and a half, she received a call from her mother Qi Mei. The relationship between her and her mother was very weak. They would only call each other during the holidays and festivals, and they didn't usually contact each other.
When her mother called, Meng Yu was in a fairy tale town in Sweden, walking on the green street.
"How long are you going to be outside? When are you coming back?”
"There are still a few places I want to see, so maybe in a few months."
Qi Mei was silent for a while, "Something happened at home, you should come back as soon as possible.”
"What happened?"
"It's hard to say on the phone, anyway, you should come back as fast as you can." After hanging up the phone, Meng Yu's expression also became serious, Qi Mei's tone didn't seem to be joking, and she would never use this kind of lie to coax her to go home, which meant that something really happened at home.
Meng Yu had to end the journey and bought a flight ticket for the next morning. When he got back, it was Qi Mei who came to pick her up in person.
Since Meng Yu's father passed away, Qi Mei took her to remarry Wang Weiguo, who was originally a well-known second-hand car dealer in Rongcheng. Later, he somehow struck up a deal with Nova Automobile Group. Their family then moved from Rongcheng to Yancheng. Wang Weiguo was now the exclusive dealer of Nova Automobile. All the sales channels of Nova had to go through his hands.
As Wang Weiguo's wife, Qi Mei was picked up by a driver when she went out. When Meng Yu came out of the airport, the driver drove the car over, helped her open the door, and put her luggage away.
Meng Yu got in the car and went straight to the point. "Why do you want me to come back?"
Qi Mei was in her fifties, but she was well preserved. Although her face was not as fair and delicate as a young girl, there weren’t obvious wrinkles. Coupled with her dress, people would think that she was no less than thirty-five years old.
Meng Yu's look somewhat inherited from Qi Mei's beauty, and both of them were the kind of people who were very beautiful. But Qi Mei's beauty was more subtle than Meng Yu's. It was the kind of beauty that made people want to care for her at the first glance, and the longer the time, the more charming it was.
"I will tell you once we get to your place."
Meng Yu now lived in a high-end residence. She bought a small apartment with one bedroom and one living room. She usually lived by herself anyway.
Meng Yu did not have any formal job after graduating from university. She majored in Japanese. She occasionally went to the studio to translate Japanese comics, and sometimes dubbed Japanese comics. Her money basically came from Xiao Qi. Of course, she didn’t get the money for nothing.
Although Meng Yu had no accomplishments in her work, she had a talent for languages since she was a child, and knew several languages. Few people knew of her talent, and Xiao Qi was one of them.
At that time, Xiao Qi wanted to get a voice converter, which was equivalent to a translation software. She knew that Meng Yu could speak multiple languages, so she asked Meng Yu to do voice input for his software. After the launch of this converter, the response was good. Xiao Qi also got a patent. He was very generous to her in terms of money. In order to thank her for her help, he gave her a sum of money.
This money was about 5 million yuan, if she managed it properly, it would be enough for her not to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
At that time, as soon as she got the money, she bought her own house and car. Later, she broke up with Xiao Qi. She sold the house she lived in before and changed to a small apartment. The remaining price difference was used for travel.
The two entered the room, and Meng Yu said, "You can talk now."
Qi Mei sat down on the sofa and sighed softly, "I...I’ve arranged a marriage for you."
"Marriage?"
"It's been over a year since you broke up with Xiao Qi. It's time to let go. You are now twenty-eight, and you should have a home."
Qi Mei generally wouldn’t care about her relationship problem. Why did she care about it all of sudden?
"Oh? Who did you find for me?"
Qi Mei didn't answer immediately. Meng Yu saw that her expression was a little unnatural. Qi Mei hesitated for a while and said, "Do you know the new chairman of Nova?"
Meng Yu although traveled outside for more than a year, she still knew a little bit about what happened in Yancheng. During the time she was away, Yancheng had several major events. For example, her good friend Xia Han, the top socialite of the Xia family of Nova Group, and the wife of Han Moran who was the president of Pangda Leading, gave birth to twins.
For another example, Nova Automobile Group, an established Yancheng company with a super-large enterprise that had almost monopolized domestic automobiles, had a new leader.
This new leader was not the eldest son of the Xia family, but the illegitimate son of the former Nova Automobile Group leader Xia Guoan, who was sent abroad since he was a child.
It was said that Mr. Chu was born to a young woman whom Mr. Xia Guoan met many years after the death of his wife. Because of the Xia family’s internal struggle, he was afraid that it would be dangerous to keep this little son by his side, so he was sent abroad when he was very young. In addition, fearing that his identity would be exposed, he specially found the adoptive parents for him, and let him be named Chu with his adoptive father.
Although she had been wandering outside for more than a year, she still knew some news about this Mr. Chu. Nova had been handled by the eldest son of the Xia family all these years, but after he came back, he not only took over Nova, but also drastically reformed Nova, and handled the internal power struggles of various factions with ease.
This person's intelligence and courage should never be underestimated.
Meng Yu came back to his senses and asked, "don't tell me that the marriage partner found for me is this new chairman of Nova."
Qi Mei nodded at her with a complex expression, "Yes. The marriage partner I found for you is him."
Meng Yu "..."
