Fierce Fire + A Thin Curtain of Mysterious Dream World
"No, Lü Píng, don't come back. Mom can handle it." The female voice on the phone sounded tired, but also gave people a sense of relief as if she had finally let go of a heavy burden.
"Mom..." Green eyebrows tightly furrowed, she really couldn't understand why so many earth-shattering things had happened in less than a year since she left Shanghai.
Chu Lian's work was not going smoothly, and his temper was getting worse due to a foot injury that wasn't healing well. Although he could walk without any issues, he had a slight limp. Zi Ling didn't know when she started having an affair with Fei Yunfan, and they got married in France three days before her scheduled wedding with Chu Lian. Now, Shun Juan wants to divorce Wang Zhanpeng, and she's being very firm about it. What's even more unbelievable for Lu Ping is that Wang Zhanpeng had betrayed his family over 20 years ago, and Liu Yushan was actually his illegitimate daughter with another woman!
"Don't worry, Green Sprout, this is between your father and me, you and Zi Ling can't interfere." Shun Juan said calmly over the phone, "You and Zi Ling are already married, and your father and I have divided our shares in the Wang family business equally between the two of you. As for the other assets at home, your father was at fault, and according to our prenuptial agreement back then, he will basically be leaving with nothing, Green Sprout, don't blame me for being heartless."
"......Mom, how could it be......" Lu Ping choked back a sob, "I just feel sorry for mom."
In her memories from childhood to adulthood, most of the time was spent with Shunjuan by her side. As for Wang Zhanpeng, there were very few memories of him. When she was a child, he went abroad and later returned to work at the Wang Corporation, leaving early and returning late every day, rarely at home, either in his study or accompanying ZiLing.
Now Shun Juan wants to divorce him, and he also has a private daughter outside who is only slightly younger than Zi Ling. How can Green Fen blame Shun Juan? She knows that Shun Juan really works hard and often stays alone in that big but deserted house.
"Don't cry, Lü Ping. If it weren't for you and Zi Ling, I would have divorced your father long ago. Now that you're both married, I can finally be at ease. Once the formalities are over, I'll go traveling for a while." Back when Zi Ling was still in her womb, Wang Zhanpeng had already been unfaithful in France; if not for her two daughters, why would she have endured in silence until now?
"It's also good to relax..." After hesitating for a moment, Lü Píng said, "Mom, the dance troupe doesn't have any performances recently, how about I go keep you company?"
"It's okay, Lü Píng, as long as you have time to accompany Yào Sī well." After a pause, Shùn Juān said in a gentle tone, "Lü Píng, Mom knows that Yào Sī and your dad are different kinds of men. He has a strong sense of responsibility, but you shouldn't neglect him because of work either. Marriage is something that two people should work on together, he's already done enough for you."
"Mom..." At this time, Shunjuan was still considering for her.
In fact, she didn't want to oppose her parents' divorce, but had no reason to do so. She was the daughter of Shunjuan and Wang Zhanpeng, and also a woman; if something like this happened between Yaosi and her... Her choice would probably be the same as Shunjuan's.
"Green, don't be annoyed with mom's nagging, mom has been through it all. If your mother hadn't supported your father's career and let him go to France, leaving behind you who were still young and me who was just pregnant, maybe we wouldn't have ended up where we are today." Shunjuan said solemnly, "Green, lovers can be apart, even if something happens it's okay, but husbands and wives cannot. It's not just about the relationship between husband and wife, it also affects the children."
"Green duckweed closed her eyes: 'I know, mom.'"
"Alright, mom hung up the phone, remember what mom said. If you really have time, go with Yousi to see Zilian, I don't know how she's doing after marrying Yunfan." Shunjuan was actually dissatisfied with both her daughter and son-in-law, but since they already had children, what could she do? Children are debts, having a carefree daughter like Lüping also means having a daughter like Zilian who gives her endless worries!
"Uh, see you later, mom." She hung up the phone and leaned her face against the window, staring blankly at the cars flowing by below and the people coming and going. It wasn't until she was enveloped in a strong embrace that she came back to herself. Lifting her head to look at her husband Junya's face, she smiled slightly, "You're back."
"Don't laugh if you don't want to." Lian'ai leaned down and kissed her red lips, Mu Rong Yage's phoenix eyes behind her glasses were full of heartache. "Have you finished talking to mom?"
"Hmm. You know everything now?"
"When Ziliang was hospitalized, mom had a private conversation with me."
"Originally mom really knew long ago...... Yao Si, Liu Yu Shan is really me..." Little sister?
"Mom is a great woman, she loves you and Zi Ling." Ya Ge hugged her into his arms, "Liu Yu Shan is indeed your half-sister, DNA verification has been done."
"Yao Si, what's wrong with mom? Why did dad...?" In this man's arms, Lu Ping finally couldn't hold back her sorrow. "If he didn't love mom, why did he marry mom in the first place and then go find other women outside..."
Gently patting the back of the green moss, Ya Ge half-closed her phoenix eyes.
Men and women are ultimately different, even the strongest and most independent woman will want a warm and secure embrace. Women are more emotional than men, so they value relationships more and are also more easily hurt. There aren't many devoted men, after all, they are in the minority.
For men, career, status and women all represent face. A wife is important, but socializing outside is also indispensable. In the real world, Ya Ge was born into a wealthy family and had the ability to advance himself, with many women surrounding him. If he didn't have a slight cleanliness habit, he would probably be like his older brother, with a red flag at home and colorful flags flying outside.
Murong Yage has mysophobia, mainly in the spiritual aspect. He had this before he became a doctor, but he hid it well, so even his family didn't know. His mother thought he was being chaste and self-disciplined, his father thought he was being dignified and self-controlled, his two brothers thought he was pretending, and only he himself knew what was going on with him.
Although he found it interesting to suddenly get such a system and was willing to complete the mainline task, even if it meant sacrificing himself, but if it wasn't for Lü Pinyin being someone he had been taking care of since childhood, and she didn't have any ambiguous relationships with other males, he really couldn't take this step.
His woman can only belong to her, from heart to body, or he will feel dirty. Similarly, in this world, he will also give the same treatment to Lu Ping, and he will not have any other women except her. Of course, men are even less likely, Yage is very clear about his sexual orientation, he is a standard heterosexual, without any hidden bisexual tendencies.
"Green Fen, I'm a responsible man." He was just the son-in-law and couldn't say anything to Wang Zhanpeng, so he could only tell Green Fen this to comfort her and not think too much about it. "I will spend my whole life proving this."
There are so many people in the world, how can they all be of one kind. There are men who are greedy for flowers and love, and there are also men who love their wives as much as their lives. He is neither, but since he has married a wife, he will make his wife happy for life, this is his most basic standard for being a human.
Of course, it's not easy to make Murong Yage willingly marry a wife. In the world of crossing over, he has a mission, and even if he thinks the real world is a bit dull, he doesn't want to be deleted by the system.
Three years later, Lv Ping's contract with the ballet troupe expired and she declined their invitation to stay, returning to Shanghai with Ya Ge.
Returning home in glory, but everything has changed.
The couple did not move into the Wang family home, but instead moved into a villa that had been prepared for them by Yage. The Wang family home was originally awarded to Shunjuan in her divorce from Wang Zhanpeng, but she didn't live there either and had moved out, presumably because the memories there were also unhappy ones for her.
Now, Wang Zhanpeng and Shen Suixin live on the floor above Sui Xin Coffee House. When they divorced, Shunjuan left him some money out of consideration for their relationship as husband and wife, not letting him truly cut ties with the world. He used this money to buy Sui Xin Coffee House and the ceramic studio, also buying the floor above as a residence. The two people who had finally come together still have a good relationship, just like an ordinary couple living a peaceful life. Relying on the income from the coffee house and bar, although it can't compare with the refined life of high society, it's still not bad, as long as they don't make trouble for each other, they can get by.
Liu Yushan still couldn't accept this pair of parents, she couldn't accept that her beloved aunt, her own biological mother, was actually the third party who destroyed other people's families! No matter how much Shen Suixin cried, what was done was done, and this was an undeniable fact. She felt too ashamed to stay at Feitian Studio anymore, so she took her camera and left for Beijing alone.
Chu Lin's work didn't go smoothly, and in the end, he could only go to work at the Chu family business. Due to his foot injury, he couldn't personally go to the construction site, so he had to give up being an architect. Day after day, he went to bars to get drunk, feeling hopeless and disappointed, which made Chu Shangde and Xinyi feel from initial disappointment to complete abandonment. Fortunately, they still had a younger son, Chu Pei, who gave them some hope.
Zi Ling and Fei Yun Fan's marriage was still okay after they got married. After all, Fei Yun Fan was much older than Zi Ling, so he would often give in to her and spoil her. Moreover, she had given birth to a son for him, which would naturally give her some face. However, as a natural-born romantic, he would occasionally have an affair or two outside the home.
Zi Ling knew it all too well, but there was nothing she could do about it. As long as she could save face, that was enough; after being a wealthy woman for several years, she had come to understand some of the unspoken rules of this world. At this point, she couldn't help but feel jealous of Lu Ping - why did Lu Ping get to meet someone like Miyazaki Yousuke, who thought of her in everything he did?!
No matter how much she thinks about it, time will still pass.
Yakka's body is Japanese, although it makes him uncomfortable at times, but one aspect he is satisfied with is that he and Lü Píng can have several more children. After returning to Shanghai, the couple soon stopped using birth control, and ten months later they had a pair of twin sons, which made Shùn Juān extremely delighted. Three years later, the little princess of the Miyazaki family was born.
Then, the children grew up day by day, got married, had children, and when the great-grandchildren could run around everywhere, on a day when cherry blossoms were in full bloom, Green Phoenix closed her eyes in Ya Ge's arms with a head full of silver hair.
Three days later, Murong Yage also fell into eternal sleep in her dreams and never woke up again.
"Green Duckweed, are you happy this lifetime?"
"Uh-huh, I'm really happy. Being able to meet and fall in love with you, Yousuke, is the luckiest and happiest thing that's ever happened to me."
Well, according to everyone's suggestion, let's have a blue-colored life-and-death romance in the next world. As for who to choose as the task target...
Potato, think again.
