They have no share, so they are helpless to separate and never see each other again.
He was proud of her success, but she felt sad for his misfortune after marriage.
But--
What else can they do now?
So what?
Snap.
Zhang Heng lit his third cigarette, pushed up his glasses skillfully, his eyes fell softly on Ouyang Feifei's face, and he said calmly: "Feifei. In fact, there are many things that we can't do anything about."
Before Ouyang Feifei could say anything, Zhang Heng continued: "Maybe back then you thought I was greedy for profit, and that I could give up my dignity and bottom line, and even my personality, in order to make money and get promoted."
"I have never been to your home. But from your description of those years, you should have come from a well-to-do family. At least they had enough to eat and drink, and they doted on you. As long as you want it, your parents will do it.
Meet your request. To a large extent, my parents love me as much as your parents. But they don’t have much ability to love me -" Zhang Heng flicked the ashes of his cigarette, then pushed up his glasses that were slightly lowered due to hanging his head.
, said calmly. "When I was in elementary school, I had to walk for more than an hour to and from school every day. Most of the way was mountainous roads, and the nights were long in winter. I had to get up before dawn every day to go to school. You also know that I get sick easily in winter.
Frostbite was the root cause of the disease at that time. When I entered high school, I lived the life of a boarding student. Perhaps for many children with good family environment, they could not enjoy the love and care of their parents when they lived in school.
To them, it was like cooking meals and living in a hard bed that was not as comfortable as the sofa at home. But for me, those years when I lived there and studied there were the happiest years in my eighteen years of life. I could finally get up and arrive there within five minutes.
Classroom. Live in a house that is airtight and raintight.”
"I'm not telling you this to let you know how miserable my life was back then. But my family was so poor, and my parents still borrowed money for me to study as usual. I was looked down upon by many relatives, and creditors came to ask for money.
I have debts. Even my sister, who is eight years younger than me, worked outside the home to earn money for me to study after graduating from elementary school——"
Bang. Zhang Heng lit his fourth cigarette.
"You always think that I am good at studying. In fact, studying is not the purpose for me. After graduation, getting a good job and working hard to make more money proves that my parents' original choice was right. My sister's contribution to me can be rewarded.
In return. So I can't be like you, who will complain when encountering unfairness, fight back with all his strength when he is angry, and yell and make a fuss when he doesn't feel good. Your local. If you lose this job, you can find another one.
Even if you go home empty-handed, your parents will take care of you, feed you, and give you pocket money. I don’t. I have to take a train for more than ten hours to go home every year, and then a bus for five or six hours. I’m not afraid of your jokes.
.After I get off the bus, I still have to ride a carriage for several hours to get home."
"I'm afraid of poverty. My parents are also afraid of poverty. My sister worked as a child laborer at that time and worked more than 16 hours a day. She slept less than eight hours a day. She was as thin as a bean sprout. I heard she collapsed from exhaustion several times in the workshop.
. But she kept gritting her teeth because she said that her brother was the only hope of the family. No matter what, she must support her brother to go to college and find a decent job in the future. Otherwise, the family will be poor for the rest of their lives. "
"I am thirty-two years old this year. I have become the general manager of our previous company. I receive an annual salary of about 1.3 million including dividends. I spend 500,000 every year to support my sister to study in college in the United States. I live with Yu Jing.
I bought that house with my own money. I didn’t use any of her money. It included home appliances. The house where my parents live is very close to me. The down payment was 800,000. Now I have to pay back 18,000 yuan every month.
That's about 200,000 yuan a year. I've done some calculations. Based on my salary and all expenses, I can save about 500,000 yuan a year."
"Fifty thousand yuan. My parents could only earn two thousand yuan in the mountains without eating or drinking for a year. I earned the money I saved in a lifetime in one month."
"That's why they put so much pressure on me to study."
Bang. Zhang Heng lit up his fifth cigarette. He took a deep breath and continued: "My sister is about to graduate from college. She found a job in New York. It is said that the conditions are not bad. My parents usually go out to go shopping and talk to people in the community.
The elderly chatted with each other and occasionally took our family over for dinner. Although it was just my son and I who went there every time. But for my parents, this kind of life was something they had never imagined."
Zhang Heng smoked the fifth cigarette very quickly. It only took him a minute to light the sixth cigarette.
"Say, how can I challenge the boss with you? How can I help you fight against injustice? How can I resign with you?"
"I'm sorry. I'm not as free and easy as you."
Zhang Heng shook his head gently, with a hint of guilt and regret in his eyes.
He loved her. He still loves her.
Cuteness cannot be eaten as food. He can accept love without milk and bread. But he will no longer allow his parents and sister to live a life without milk and bread.
So he must work hard and make money. This is the reason why he studies and his entire pursuit in life.
Ouyang Feifei listened to the past events she had never heard of after knowing Zhang Heng for many years. She raised her head again and looked at this handsome and gentle man with an elegant aura. Her vision was actually a little blurry.
She once thought she loved him very much.
I also know him very well.
But it wasn't until this moment that she realized how wrong she was.
She didn't understand at all this man who silently endured everything, let alone this man who had no flaws in his relationship with her.
Blame him?
When they first broke up, she did blame her boyfriend for not talking to her, not being on the same side as her, and not even resigning with her.
Is it hard to find a job?
It is not difficult for top students like them from Yanjing University to find a good job in Yanjing, a city with fierce employment competition. But he still did not choose to leave with him. Instead, he chose to stay in the city where there is great development.
A company with great potential. Let yourself go alone.
Can you not hate it?
Isn't it weird?
Ouyang Feifei continued to wonder for two or three years before she finally felt relieved.
I also understand how ignorant I was back then. With my character back then, it would be impossible for me to achieve any success in my career in this life. After all, I am still a little flower growing in a greenhouse. How can I withstand the wind and rain?
Ouyang Feifei had mixed emotions on her face until Zhang Heng, who had finished smoking a cigarette, lit another cigarette.
This time, Ouyang Feifei grabbed his wrist and advised: "You smoked too much."
Zhang Heng was slightly startled, then smiled and took back the cigarette, breaking the inertia of lighting up.
"You haven't been living a happy life these past few years, have you?"
There was no ridicule, no gloating, just a slightly concerned inquiry.
"Actually, it's quite good. There is a saying in my hometown that a wife and children are a hot bed. I have them all. I also have money and time to fulfill my filial piety. Who can expect that their life will be perfect? There are always some shortcomings." Zhang Heng said with a smile. "
What about you? You have become one of the most famous women in Yanjing. Is there anything in your life that you are dissatisfied with?"
"Everything is fine." Ouyang Feifei smiled. "When I was young, I stumbled and got into a lot of trouble. I remember once I offended my boss. If you hadn't stopped me, the crazy boss would have whipped me a few times on the spot. Later.
I have been playfully asking for leave for several days in a row. In fact, I also know that it was you who lied to me. Otherwise, my boss would have fired me early in the morning."
Ouyang Feifei suddenly became dancing and chatting freely with the man in front of her whom she had not seen for five years. She looked like a simple and lovely girl. But who knew that he was no longer the same?
The scene in the coffee house is beautiful. The former lovers were sitting together chatting like best friends, filled with laughter and joy.
Faintly, melodious and gentle music came from the coffee house. It was a love song sung by a man who was very good at singing. It was a song they all loved to listen to.
"I would like to make an appointment on an afternoon suitable for chatting.
After being separated for many years, I thought I had no baggage.
I'm also going to review why we ended.
I also wanted to ask if you live alone.
When your smile greets me politely.
When I want to describe my feelings over the years.
But you ordered a table full of my favorite food.
Introduce me to a book on astronomy.
I want to cry but don't dare to cry.
Is this kind of relationship not like the happiness we dream of?
Taking this step is tolerant or painful.
I can cry all I want.
To complete the love tour, chatting is the most ideal way out.
If nothing happens, it turns out to be the cruelest revenge.
…
This is a love song.
But it is a love song that can hurt people.
Ouyang Feifei ended her seemingly happy chat, stood up, and politely extended her slender palms to the man who was equally calm but smiling: "Goodbye."
"goodbye."
It's time to say breakup.
This is not a happy reunion after a long absence. This is just a cruel but helpless encounter. She already has a new life. And he - has gone too far on the road he wants to take and is already taking. It can never be further.
There is no going back to the past.
Then wasn't their encounter inherently cruel?
Zhang Heng turned around with a smile, suddenly took two steps forward, and gently hugged this woman who was already in a high position. There was no humility, nor was there any shame. He said softly: "Please be happy."
Turn around and leave this coffee shop where they may meet for the last time.
The moment he turned around, Ouyang Feifei burst into tears, crying like a child who had lost his beloved toy. It was heartbreaking.
And what about the man who bravely takes on everything for the sake of his family and his responsibilities?
A man doesn't shed tears lightly, but he hasn't reached the point where he is sad.
This gentle and reserved man in his thirties left the coffee shop, hid in a remote corner and cried loudly. His heart was broken.
