Chapter 480 The Forgotten Old Friend
Su Zilong did not apologize to his sister. He cried and could not speak. The meeting time soon ended. Su Zishan hurriedly talked about something else. Su Zishan did not blame him. After the meeting, she shed tears silently for a while and left quietly.
She analyzed herself deeply, reflected on her previous life seriously, and opened her heart to her half-brother for the first time. She still would not forgive her brother, but she was relieved. She could say frankly that there was no more gloom in her heart.
Because Tong Tong had an accident some time ago, Wu Hailan specially went to the Port City to accompany Su Zishan for a while. Su Zishan was filled with emotion: "Many years ago, you were by my side, but now you are still you."
"If you want to say who is the most loyal, it must be me!"
"Sister Lan, I'm not sure about it. If Junjun is not adopted, I plan to go to Germany for a while."
"I am in my fifties and have to go to a foreign country to pursue my dreams... However, this does fit your style. If you need help, just talk to me."
"Junjun is too young, I can't leave for a long time. Let's talk about it! At least we will discuss it when Tong Tong comes back."
Wu Hailan was not surprised at Su Zishan's decision. Su Zishan has been living according to her own wishes. She is young and gets married when she says she gets married when she says she has a child. Now she is old, her peers have to play with her grandchildren and go to dance square dance sooner or later. She also dreams of studying in Germany. Her mind is very open and can cover the whole world. For her, age has never been a restraint, but just a natural symbol.
"Then have you planned? Go to Germany to continue learning piano, or just learn German?"
"I want to learn philosophy." Su Zishan smiled and said, "You also know that Yunkai likes the philosophical atmosphere in Germany very much. We made an appointment to take Shu Yutong to Germany when she grew up. Now, only I can help him realize this wish."
Wu Hailan said emotionally: "You really live with Shu Yunkai's last wish. I, I wish you a dream come true!"
"When Tong Tong returns home, I will put it into practice. I will live in Germany for a while. Anyway, there is a nanny at home, so he will just assist and take care of Junjun."
During the last visit to the prison, Su Zishan talked about Junjun's living expenses with her brother. She said that the nanny in the house was 7,500 yuan per month, Junjun's rehabilitation expenses, early education expenses, and 2,500 yuan per month. The standard for a month is 13,000 yuan. The money my cousin received was not enough to support half a year. If you want to maintain Junjun's quality of life, please ask Su Zilong to call her for her as soon as possible.
Su Zishan showed him Junjun's monthly expenditure details. In fact, even if she didn't have to read it, Su Zilong was relieved. Su Zishan spent a lot of time and was not polite to Su Zilong in terms of money, which also made Su Zilong feel relieved. If she really wanted nothing and set herself a glittering Holy Mother's character, Su Zilong would be under great pressure.
Su Zilong happily agreed to transfer some money to her, and at the same time scolded the elder sister: "I gave her 500,000! I have only been a few months, why are there only tens of thousands of dollars left?!"
"Then I don't know." Su Zishan said: "You can also ask her for a detailed description."
"Old guy! You must have used Junjun's living expenses to supplement her family! You abused my child and swallowed my money! When I go out, I will definitely kill her!"
Whether Su Zilong can come out of it is still a big question. However, Su Zishan did not say it out loud. People always have to have some thoughts to have the motivation to survive, not to mention that Su Zilong is still in such a difficult situation.
Su Zishan remembers every expenditure of raising Junjun very clearly. Sometimes when she looks at Junjun, she will have very complicated thoughts. She forces herself not to think about it, live with her own wishes, don’t be anxious, don’t regret it, just do this.
Wu Hailan hopes that Su Zishan and his son will reunite early. Su Zishan is not in a hurry. She said that everything is the best arrangement. Her son has not appeared in everyone's sight for the time being, which is also a kind of protection for him. She said to Wu Hailan quietly: "He is not at home, we don't have to be together all day, so I don't have to be angry because of his bad habits. The world is much more pure."
"Haha, sometimes I am the same. Xixi is not at home, and I think she is thinking so hard. But when she gets home, she throws clothes everywhere and doesn't eat well. She stays up until the early morning to bed every day, and I'm also annoyed!"
Affected by the epidemic, Qian Qian's dream of studying abroad has been stranded. She decided to take the civil service exam with all her heart. She joked that the end of the universe is the organization. Wu Hailan agreed with this decision. She most hopes that her daughter will find a stable iron rice bowl, not be too busy, keep her income safe, and have time to manage her life. This is enough.
Qian Qian has no boyfriend at present. She is indeed very close to Gao Xiaobao. The two are indeed in an ambiguous period, but this does not mean that they will date in the future. Gao Xiaobao was asked by Tong Tong to protect Qian Qian. Qian Qian has a good impression of this strong and humorous bodyguard. The bodyguard also likes the pure and beautiful rich lady. However, the family gap between the two is too great. Qian Qianqian is worried that she can't live a poor life, and Gao Xiaobao is also wondering whether she can adapt to the bad temper of the young lady.
Wu Hailan told her daughter that she didn’t have to rush to fall in love, and it wouldn’t be too late to get married when her job stabilizes. If she doesn’t meet someone who is in love, don’t be anxious. Qian Qian smiled and said, “You are really different from other mothers. Others are urging them to get married. You are so good, but I’m asking me not to rush.”
"Don't get married just for the sake of getting married. Marriage is not a utilitarian act, but you still have to think clearly about what marriage can bring you. Is it more beneficial than disadvantages or the more harmful than advantages." Wu Hailan said seriously: "My marriage is not happy, and I don't want you to repeat my mistakes. The most important thing is to live a happy life."
Qian Qian was very moved: "Why would I not be happy with a mother like you?"
Wu Hailan is not only the strongest backing for her daughter, but she has also been worried about Su Zishan's major events. She bought the tickets for "Heidelberg Cathedral" and she persuaded Su Zishan to go and watch them together. "Zishan, I will find a way to get backstage and meet Qiaomu. In the most difficult times, we spent it together, so she won't see us, right?"
Su Zishan still maintained her pride in her bones and was very embarrassed: "If she ignores us, then wouldn't we be bored?"
"Probably not..." Wu Hailan said carelessly: "If she ignores us, I will have a fight. Really, can you ignore old friends if you become a great writer?"
"If you make trouble, I won't go with you."
"Ah, I just said that I am a person with status now, how could I make trouble in public?"
In the end, the two of them dressed up and went to watch a drama together.
Before the performance started, a reader meeting was held. The writer Qiaomu had an interaction with readers in his hometown. Qiaomu has a certain reputation worldwide and is active in various cultural salons. She has experience and knowledge. There are countless sparks in her thinking, and most readers are very happy to communicate with her.
But in her hometown of Hong Kong City, she suffered a career Waterloo. The huge scene was filled with audiences, but few questions were asked to her. Most of the time, Qiao Mu herself was talking about topics related to creation. Some people asked questions, but the questions asked were not very profound. They were probably her most satisfied chapters, future creative goals, etc.
Wu Hailan whispered to Su Zishan: "It seems... there are indeed not many readers in her hometown!"
"It is also because she writes too profoundly, and the high music is not bad."
After saying that, Su Zishan raised her hand, took the host's microphone, and said gracefully and slowly: "I would like to ask writer Qiao Mu, you wrote a long comment on a winning work in an overseas literary award selection last year. I remember that novel was related to sexual minority groups, and you had a high evaluation of that novel. Does this mean that sexual minority literature works have been recognized by mainstream literary circles?"
Qiaomu's eyes suddenly became bright.
The eyes around him also looked sideways.
Su Zishan felt the burning gaze from all directions, but she was still calm and calm, as if... she would never be disturbed by the outside world.
Qiao Mu smiled and said, "I cannot give a positive answer to this question for the time being. Because the emergence of each new literary subject must go through several stages of germination, wild growth, and artificial intervention. I personally like new things, but this does not mean that others like it, so I cannot determine how far the new things I like will go."
A burst of warm applause echoed in the theater. Wu Hailan couldn't help but stood up, and didn't even answer the microphone. She asked loudly: "Great Writer Qiaomu, I want to ask you, where is the starting point of your literary journey?"
Her tone was not like a friendly exchange, but rather a question that broke out after a long time of tolerance.
Wu Hailan really couldn't swallow this because Qiaomu's literary starting point was in "The Stinging Mang", but after becoming famous, Qiaomu never mentioned that experience in public. It was obvious that she was deliberately concealing it.
After so many years, Qiao Mu has written many words that analyze her heart. She tries her best to express her sincerity. She seems to be vomiting out a sincere heart to express her childlike innocence and sincerity...
But she still didn't mention "Thorny" as if... that magazine never existed. Her old friends knew that she had been deliberately avoiding that experience.
Wu Hailan's chest was blocked - Could it be a shame to publish an article in "The Stupid"? Will it affect her literary value? She is full of hope for the sincere writer Qiao Mu to give a sincere answer.
Qiao Mu showed a decent smile without hesitation: "My novel Virgo has been published in the magazine "Falling Flowers" and it has been almost thirty years."
Wu Hailan almost spit out an old blood.
However, Qiao Mu's readers burst into laughter. This person didn't know Qiao Mu at all, so he asked such an ignorant question, right?
Qiao Mu seemed to have no idea of his old friend at all, so he naturally skipped the "not worth mentioning" issue. Wu Hailan wanted to stand up and argue with her, but Su Zishan pressed and held her down: "Sister Lan, I agreed that we are not here to make trouble."
Wu Hailan was so angry that she was gasping for breath and cursing inwardly. After the performance started, she was still in anger. She had no idea what the drama was performed. The only thing she knew was that the man next to her was having a good time, and the woman in front of her kept yawning.
If a performance was over, Wu Hailan complained: "If I say that Qiao Mu's works are too boring, wouldn't it seem that I'm too superficial?"
"She was not down-to-earth enough. A lot of the content involved the Reformation in the Middle Ages and the history of the Crusades. If there was no certain accumulation, it would be difficult to see."
Wu Hailan also yawned: "I won't do research anymore. Watching a performance can be considered as supporting an old friend."
Immediately afterwards, she smiled bitterly: "Although, they don't recognize us old friends."
Su Zishan said sadly: "Maybe it is because of this that she has achieved great success!"
