Hearing Su Ziceng call out "Aunt," lin finally gave Su Ziceng a proper look. This fairly delicate-looking Eastern woman in front of her was her relative. lin hadn’t t many relatives, and those she had were like Qiao Zhi’an, relatives who appeared abruptly and were sickly. Now looking at Su Ziceng, noticing her clothing and appearance were quite decent, lin couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.
"Aunt, I think you and lin might as well co back to Country Z with ," Su Ziceng knew that taking Qiao Zhizhi and lin back with her would surely increase her burden, but she had finally t her relatives, and they were also Qiao Chu’s forrly close cousins. If her mother were still alive, she would definitely want to bring the mother and daughter back to the country.
Qiao Zhizhi had thought about going back to Country Z as well, but the Qiao Family no longer had much of a foundation in Mo City. In talking with Ziceng, she also knew that the Su Family was currently in trouble. If she and her daughter went back to the country, they would likely be a burden to Ziceng. Therefore, Qiao Zhizhi still refused Su Ziceng’s invitation.
No sooner had Qiao Zhizhi refused than lin spoke discontentedly: "Mom, why did you refuse? Since we are all family, and Sister Ziceng has invited us, let’s just go back. Anyway, I have nothing in the United States to hold onto." lin and Qiao Zhizhi were different; she didn’t want to spend her life holed up in such a bungalow. Besides, given their current financial situation, even if she stayed in the United States, she wouldn’t be able to afford college tuition. Without a college education, she wouldn’t be able to find a decent job in Arica, and in the future, she could only end up marrying so drunk or gambler. The thought of such a life made lin shiver.
"Let’s settle on that, you guys get ready," Su Ziceng hesitated, looking towards the Rose Handbook.
Qiao Zhizhi, having heard lin’s words, also started worrying about her daughter’s future, making it hard to refuse Su Ziceng’s kindness again, "This diary, it was left behind by my cousin as well, better for you, Ziceng, to take it back."
Su Ziceng took the diary, then reminded Qiao Zhizhi about her contact information, telling her that once they had completed the procedures for returning to Country Z, she would help them book the plane tickets and go back with them.
"I might need to postpone the already booked flight," Su Ziceng, holding the diary, contacted Lin Ying while on her way back to the hotel.
Su Ziceng originally wanted Lin Ying to take Director Jim back to Country Z first, but when she got in touch with Lin Ying, Lin Ying started beating around the bush, even suggesting she could return to Country Z with Su Ziceng.
"You don’t need to wait with ; I don’t know how long Aunt’s procedures will take. You can take Director Jim around a few major cities in the country first, understand the market first, give him a rough idea of Country Z’s developnt," Lin Ying had always been efficient in handling affairs, so why was she dragging her feet this ti?
For Su Ziceng, she had to make the most out of each day, "Ziceng," Lin Ying sounded even more anxious, "I don’t have much ti, ah, I an Master Pu Wangda doesn’t have much ti left, I... I want to stay in the United States, to be with him through the last of his days."
"What?" Even though Su Ziceng felt sympathy for Master Pu Wangda’s unfortunate situation, sympathy is one thing; Lin Ying had only t him once, she couldn’t possibly stay with him all the ti, right?
"I love him," Lin Ying’s bold assertion left Su Ziceng completely stunned on the spot. Lin Ying in love with Master Pu Wangda - when did this happen?
"Lin Ying, when you ntioned visiting a friend, you ant Master Pu Wangda?" Su Ziceng found it hard to believe that two people with half a century of age difference could, rely through a single eting, develop feelings of love.
"Yes, but now it’s no longer just friendship. He has accepted , and I’ve decided to spend the rest of his life with him," Lin Ying’s voice carried the sweetness of soone in love. Su Ziceng could imagine that Lin Ying must be wearing a happy expression at that mont.
Lin Ying carefully listened for Su Ziceng’s reaction, knowing her mad act must have shocked or even angered Su Ziceng. Even Lin Ying herself couldn’t believe she had fallen in love with a man so spontaneously. A man old enough to be her grandfather, but love is that irrational, Master Pu Wangda was like an unexpected lottery ticket. As soon as Lin Ying scratched it, she was captivated by those extraordinary numbers.
"Ziceng, please forgive my willfulness, I don’t know what happened, but he can unearth my beauty, he understands better than anyone, only in his eyes can I feel cherished as a woman, feel the praise," Lin Ying tried to make Su Ziceng understand.
"I know you need now, but his ti is running out, please allow this one selfish act for my own sake," Su Ziceng had never heard such pleading from Lin Ying, and for the first ti heard Lin Ying’s vulnerability.
"Lin Ying, my dear friend, please don’t say that," Su Ziceng’s tone was as friendly as ever, "I offer my heartfelt congratulations for your belated love." When Su Ziceng spoke again, Lin Ying couldn’t help but choke up.
Falling in love with a dying man, a romance destined to be short-lived, Su Ziceng genuinely admired Lin Ying’s courage. Lin Ying had always been so brave, courageously loving, courageously pursuing.
"Thank you, Ziceng, you’re my lifelong friend," listening to Lin Ying’s voice brightening up again, Su Ziceng couldn’t help but hold the Rose Handbook tighter. If only she could love as unreservedly and courageously as Lin Ying. (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to Qidian (qidian) to cast your recomndation tickets and monthly tickets.
