Chapter 381: Chapter 381 He’s Back
Shen Yishu had said so much by now, Ding Yinuo should have understood a bit.
However, to my surprise, he actually said,
“I’ve never regretted anything I’ve done.”
Great!
This also served as severing all the last threads of hope in my heart.
Ding Yinuo got into the car with Ding Ruirui.
Watching little Ding Ruirui wave at desperately from the car window as her small figure gradually disappeared into the crowd…
My eyes beca a bit sore.
All of a sudden, I felt very sentintal.
“Let it be, Xiaoyun. Don’t be upset. There are many people in life who co with a certain fate. When that fate ends, people part ways. Maybe your fate with him has co to an end.”
I fell silent for a while, then nodded in acknowledgnt.
But now is really not the ti for to show weakness.
Today the company is reopening, with much to be reinstated, and there are many tasks waiting for .
I refocused my scattered attention and continued to interact with so of the crowd present.
The opening today can be considered a great success.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended in the dayti, I took the opportunity to treat all the company’s employees to a buffet.
After the event, Wenya and a few other friends insisted on continuing to eat and drink.
When alone, I feel especially lonely, and only when with friends does that sense of solitude lessen a great deal.
I drank a couple more glasses tonight and felt slightly tipsy when I stood up, but I still raised my glass to Wenya,
“Wenya, we’ve been besties for decades. To be honest, if one of us were a different gender, chances are we would’ve been husband and wife. Of course, even now, our friendship is no less than that of spouses. It may sound a bit cheesy to express gratitude, so just this, I appreciate how much you did for at the opening ceremony today. Here, let’s finish this glass, everything else goes without saying.”
Wenya was stunned for a mont, holding her glass without drinking,
“Wait, all Su Peisheng and I did was send a few flower baskets, that’s hardly much of a contribution, is it?”
“No, the electronic screen, the lion dance, and that inflatable arch, as well as all sorts of delicious food, weren’t they arranged by you through the etiquette company?”
“Huh? Of course, not! I just had Su Peisheng get the flower baskets. Wait, Su Peisheng, did you arrange these activities?”
Su Peisheng denied on the spot,
“No! I just ordered the flower baskets. Didn’t you say to keep it low-profile? Just a simple decoration was enough, right?”
Su Peisheng is a person of candor; I believe whatever he says.
“So if it wasn’t you guys, who arranged the event?”
“Could it possibly be you, Shen Yishu?”
Wenya turned the questioning to Shen Yishu.
Shen Yishu shook his head,
“Not ! Otherwise, when you called this morning, I wouldn’t even have had ti to prepare a flower basket. Although I had that in mind, I found out too late.”
“If it wasn’t you, could it be Jian Yan? That’s impossible, Jian Jing is currently at ho looking after the kids. She’s so busy she doesn’t even rember her own na. We didn’t inform her about today’s reopening.”
Wenya said.
If it wasn’t Shen Yishu, and it wasn’t Jian Yan, then who could it be?
“Could it possibly be…”
I thought of soone but imdiately dismissed the possibility.
It’s highly unlikely.
That night, with Wenya’s company, I drank to my heart’s content.
This was probably the happiest ti I had experienced in a while.
Sotis it’s good to get drunk, at least my mind is numb, and I don’t have to think about things that get worked up.
I lay on the couch, my expression sowhat dazed…
“Ayun, you’ve drunk too much. I’ll take you ho!”
It was Shen Yishu’s voice trying to help up, but I pushed him away,
“No, I want Wenya to take ho!”
“Fine, fine, I owe you one, so I’ll take you ho now. Su Peisheng, co over and help get her into the car.”
“Ayun, slow down! Why are you rushing like that, watch the car, be careful… Damn, sorry, master, my best friend’s had too much to drink, it’s okay now, thank you!”
I seed to see many stars, twinkling in front of .
I staggered forward, grabbing Wenya’s arm, “Do you know? I saw Gu Yuanzhou!”
“Stop talking nonsense! You’re drunk… Last ti I was drunk, I even saw my great-grandfather!”
Wenya opened the car door and helped sit in, then she said to Su Peisheng, “Drive slowly, will you?”
Su Peisheng asked, “Where are we taking her at this hour?”
“Where else can we take her, let’s go to my place, it’s too late anyway, we’re not going to that cetery area!”
Wenya talked to , neck extended, calling Beilu Hill the cetery area!
“All right, then we’ll go to your place!”
Su Peisheng started the car.
I imdiately protested,
“Wenya, I don’t want to go to your house… I have to go to Beilu Hill, that’s my ho.”
“Ayun, stop it, that place isn’t fit for living people. If you dislike my house, I can book a hotel room for you.”
“No, no, I want to go ho! Stop the car, Su Peisheng, I want to get out!”
Seeing getting a bit emotional, Wenya reluctantly agreed,
“Fine, fine, my little ancestor, just sit down first, the car is still moving, you don’t want to knock or fall.”
As soon as I stood up, my head hit the car ceiling.
Wenya helped sit back down and told Su Peisheng to turn the car around.
“Ayun, lie down and sleep for a bit, it’ll only take half an hour to get ho.”
I leaned against the car seat, “Wenya, I really saw Gu Yuanzhou.”
I kept muttering…
“You’re drunk, darling!”
“I’m not, just now during the ribbon-cutting, I hadn’t drunk anything, I was clear-headed, it was really him!”
I repeated over and over, asking Wenya,
“Do you think, is it possible that he’s not dead?”
Su Peisheng said, “Executions have a process, there are several checkpoints, with people reviewing and safeguarding, it’s impossible for there to be any mistakes.”
“Really? Su Peisheng, I really dislike you!”
I whispered quietly.
Wenya sighed.
During the half-hour car ride, it seed that I was jostled all the way. By the ti I got ho, I had thrown up again.
Wenya helped into the house, “Otherwise, let and Su Peisheng stay to take care of you.”
I refused her kindness, “No need, you guys go back! This place is so ghostly, only a ghost like could stay here. You go back. I want to be alone for a while.”
No matter how Wenya explained, I stubbornly pushed them out the door, then closed it.
I knew this place wasn’t suitable for the living, especially not in the dead of night. Wenya would be scared here, it’s better for the two of them to go back.
They knocked on the door for a while, but when I didn’t respond, they left.
After they left, I lay in bed alone.
Actually, I was quite tired, I closed my eyes and slept for a bit, but suddenly felt very thirsty.
I climbed up by myself again.
Still in a drunken state, the whole house seed to be swaying as I walked…
I felt that there was soone else in the room!
