Fortunately

Chapter 51 Travel
The weather is gradually warming up, and the days in April are much better than winter.

Yan Youwei was still busy, the injury from Ma Huilan last time had healed long ago, and the anger in her heart was also calmed down.Except for Zeng Zimu, no one around her knew about it.She didn't even tell Ren Tingting.

She wasn't afraid that Ren Tingting would hurt her, but she was really afraid that after hearing about her hot temper, she would rush to Ke Jianzhong's house and chop Ma Huilan into pieces.

In fact, she didn't need to do much, she just had to stand in front of Ma Huilan and announce to her that Yang Yang was not actually Ke Jianzhong's son.This blow was fatal, it was no less than sticking a sharp knife in Ma Huilan's heart.

But Yan Youwei doesn't want to do that now.One is that it is too cruel for an old man with dementia to break her only hope.In addition, she is also aware of Ma Huilan's style of work. If she knows that Yang Yang is not her own grandson, she will definitely make a mess.Maybe they will block their door every day and yell at them, and even go to the TV station.

Yan Youwei only wants to live a stable life, and doesn't want to make troubles.Ma Huilan's condition is irreversible and will only get worse.She is now more awake than confused, but one day she will be far more confused than awake.Yan Youwei could only wait silently, hoping not to have anything to do with her before that.

Fortunately, Zeng Zimu's warning had some effect last time, and she never came to trouble her again since then.He even took the initiative to call her once to apologize, said good things to her, and then asked to see Yang Yang.

Yan Youwei really has nothing to do with this kind of troublesome person. If you don't agree, you can't do it. You can only ask her to meet in a small park nearby.As a result, when Ma Huilan came, Ke's father also came with him, both of them looked friendly, and bought many toys and delicious food for Yang Yang, which made Yan Youwei feel embarrassed.

Father Ke also apologized for the last time his wife hurt Yan Youwei, and even offered to compensate her for medical expenses.But how could Yan Youwei ask for their money, she politely refused with a smile.Seeing Ma Huilan running around with Yang Yang, she even felt that this old lady had two personalities living in her body?

She is obviously normal, why is she so crazy sometimes?Which one is the real her.Or is it that she has such a dual personality?Or do people with Alzheimer's have great emotional ups and downs?
Yan Youwei couldn't figure out the reason behind it, and didn't want to study it in depth.Anyway, she would be satisfied if the other party didn't come to her to quarrel.Nearly a month passed by in such a muddle, until one day someone suddenly called her, Yan Youwei didn't think of Ma Huilan again.

It was Xia Xiaoqiao who called her, her voice was as sweet as ever, and it was hard to bear to hang up the phone.

When Yan Youwei thought of her taking away Ma Huilan that day, she was somewhat grateful to her.Besides, Ke Jianzhong has been dead for so many years, and she has gradually forgotten what happened back then.On the phone, Xia Xiaoqiao proposed to meet her, but Yan Youwei agreed after hesitating.

After Xia Xiaoqiao got into Ke Jianzhong's bed, the two of them actually didn't sit down and have a serious conversation.Goodbye after six years, we should have matured a lot.Yan Youwei was really curious, what exactly was Xia Xiaoqiao looking for her for?
The two of them made an appointment to meet in a cafe near the TV station.Xia Xiaoqiao arrived earlier, while Yan Youwei hurried over after get off work, and was 10 minutes later than the agreed time.

So as soon as she arrived, she apologized first: "Sorry for being late, I have something to do temporarily."

"I know, being a reporter is like this, and I don't have any serious time. So I have left this business a long time ago." Xia Xiaoqiao said and handed over the menu, "I don't know what you like to drink, so I didn't make my own decision to order for you. "

Yan Youwei secretly looked at Xia Xiaoqiao while looking at the menu.In the past six years, she has become much more mature than before, less childish and more capable.The petite and sweet girl back then has turned into a mature and beautiful young woman in a blink of an eye.Yan Youwei flipped through the menu and pretended to ask her casually: "How are you doing, are you married?"

"It's over." Xia Xiaoqiao didn't hide anything at all, but instead talked about her marriage openly, "It's been almost three years since I got married. My husband and I work in the same company and are my boss. After I married him, I washed my hands and made soup." Soup. Running the news is too tiring, it's really not what a woman should do."

"Your husband is also in the media circle?"

"Yeah, he runs a magazine, which was originally a family business, but it has been in his hands for a few years."

Yan Youwei looked at Xia Xiaoqiao carefully, no wonder she looked different, it turned out that she had climbed a tall branch.This woman who had always wanted to compete with her for Ke Jianzhong had finally realized it once.

"Very good, full-time wife, you can relax and enjoy yourself. I should congratulate you."

"Don't be so sour." Xia Xiaoqiao pursed her lips, "It is true that I was sorry for you back then, and I formally apologize to you today."

"Forget it, don't mention the past."

"I have to mention it. If I don't sincerely apologize to you, you will have pimples in your heart all your life. Jianzhong is no longer here, so let's stop getting into trouble because of him, okay? Let's shake hands and make peace."

Seeing Xia Xiaoqiao's hand stretched out to her, Yan Youwei didn't immediately respond to her.She is not the Yan Youwei she was six years ago. Although she has not improved much in the past few years, she still understands human affairs.Xia Xiaoqiao didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and she definitely didn't come to reconcile with her.How big of a shit, the two had a bad relationship back then, is it necessary to bow their heads six years later?She obviously wanted something out of herself.

It is better to be begged than to beg yourself.Yan Youwei reached out to shake Xia Xiaoqiao's hand, thinking that one more friend is better than one more enemy.Then she smiled slightly: "Okay, we're reconciled, and the past will not be mentioned. Let's talk about what you came to see me today."

Xia Xiaoqiao also smiled: "Talk quickly, Youwei, you are good at this. You are not so narrow-minded, and you are also generous. The girls in our class were always guessing why Zeng Zimu always circled around you. They couldn't figure it out, but I Understand, you don't care about like ordinary women, men generally like this, women who are too pretentious can't bear it."

Yan Youwei picked up the coffee and drank it silently, but didn't answer for a while.She thought to herself that she was not a very generous person either.She also cares about and cares about some things, and she keeps them in her heart for many years, and she can't let them go and forget them.It's just that she doesn't care about Xia Xiaoqiao's affairs, because she doesn't love Ke Jianzhong anymore.

And the person she loves, she still cares about everything about him.

She put down her coffee and looked at her watch: "Little Qiao, since you said I won't do it, then I really won't be polite to you. If you have anything to do with me, just talk to me. I have to accompany the children when I go home. My job Seeing that the day is very busy, it is rare to get off work on time, so I have to play with my children."

"Okay, then I'm not going to play tricks anymore. I want to ask you to do me a favor and tell Zeng Zimu about it. Your group has a big project to be carried out recently, and my husband also wants to participate. Unfortunately, there is no way to find out. You I know Zeng Zimu so well, can you help me get a clue? Don't worry, I will not let you help for nothing, and I will reward you."

Hearing these words, Yan Youwei really felt that Xia Xiaoqiao had matured.It's just that she was a little too familiar with it, which made her a little overwhelmed.

"Why should we entrust Zeng Zimu with our group's affairs?"

"He is the major shareholder of the group, and his words carry a lot of weight. I also tried to find other lines, but they didn't work. Youwei, can you help me with this?"

"But how should I tell Zeng Zimu? Don't you know about our divorce?"

"I know, but aren't you planning to remarry recently?"

Yan You was slightly taken aback: "Who did you hear that from?"

"I didn't hear it from someone. Didn't Zeng Zimu say at the gate of the kindergarten that day that he was planning to remarry you? You two are so close, it shouldn't be difficult for you to help me connect. I don't need you to convince me Zeng Zimu, as long as he is willing to let us treat him to a meal. My husband has a series of plans to show him. We are not people who do nothing, and our plans are also beneficial to your group. We just need a Chance."

Xia Xiaoqiao talked a lot eagerly, but Yan Youwei only cared about one thing: "Xiao Qiao, you have misunderstood. Zeng Zimu and I have no intention of remarrying at all. The reason why he said that day was to help me out. If he said that, Ke Jianzhong's mother will definitely not let it go. He and I are just ordinary friends now, and I don't have as much weight as you think. Some time ago, I begged him to do an exclusive interview. It took so much effort, so much good words, and so much cold reception to succeed. .He is not who I am at all, and I can't speak in front of him."

Xia Xiaoqiao looked at Yan Youwei carefully, carefully observing the expression on her face, for fear that she might be lying to her.Yan You smiled wryly again and again: "Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask Tingting. Zeng Zimu's value has increased several times compared to before. I am a single mother with a son, how can he like him. Women who want to marry him can From here to the gate of our school, I really have nothing to do with him."

"Really?" Xia Xiaoqiao still didn't quite believe it, "But I saw that he was very nervous about you that day. Are you too unconfident, Youwei? Don't you really know your weight in Zeng Zimu's heart?"

Yan Youwei had a troubled expression on his face, his facial features were almost screwed together.After a moment of silence, she let out a long sigh: "If I really have weight in his heart, do you think we will divorce?"

"I don't know much about your divorce, and I don't want to comment on it without authorization. But when we were in school, we were always aware of how Zeng Zimu treated you. So we were very surprised back then, why did you take the second place?" Zeng Zimu likes Ke Jianzhong? Youwei, do you really understand Zeng Zimu's feelings for you?"

What Xia Xiaoqiao said has always remained in Yan Youwei's mind, and she would unconsciously think of it every time the night was quiet.

For so many years, she has been ignoring a fact intentionally or unintentionally, whether Zeng Zimu loves her or not?
When she was young, she didn't think about such things. When she was young, she was also attracted by Zeng Zimu's charming appearance.But at that time, her family was in trouble because of her father's affair, and the deadliest impression left in Yan Youwei's heart during those days was that men with outstanding looks were unreliable.

So her feelings for Zeng Zimu were only short-lived, and were quickly thrown behind her.What's more, the two are too familiar, and the end result of being too familiar is that it is difficult to produce love.At that time, Zeng Zimu had already begun to show his invincible charm. No matter whether he wanted to fall in love or not, the girls in school who admired him were like fish in a river.

Yan Youwei looked at his mother's lesson from the past, and dared not jump on Zeng Zimu's boat.

When she arrived at university, she met Ke Jianzhong, a man who was exactly what she imagined a husband should be.He is tall and thin, with good facial features but not too outstanding, his skin is a little fair, but the key is that he has a good temper.So after going back and forth, the two sparked off.

Although at that time people around her would mention Zeng Zimu from time to time, and from time to time someone reminded her that Zeng Zimu was more than just a friend to her.But Yan Youwei only wanted to find an honest man like Ke Jianzhong as her husband, so she selectively ignored those reminders, pretending she didn't know anything.

In her opinion, no matter whether Zeng Zimu really loves her or pretends to love her, anyway, the two of them are destined to have no intersection, and it would be better if they never started.Zeng Zimu will eventually fall in love with others, and one day he will marry a famous lady and live a life that outsiders would envy.And she will have children with her ordinary husband and live an ordinary life for the rest of her life.

But later reality taught her a truth.It turned out that the ordinary and honest man in her imagination was like all men in the world, eating what was in the bowl and looking at what was in the pot.No matter how much he loves you, the relationship will be like that after a long time.After love becomes rational, they will all want to seek new stimulation.

So Ke Jianzhong and Xia Xiaoqiao rolled onto the same bed, and she turned away after being sad and angry, and married into the magnificent Zeng family.She and Zeng Zimu, the two people who used to be the most familiar, have become the most awkward couple after they became husband and wife.

During those three years of marriage, Yan Youwei also thought about living a good life, loving him well, forgetting the unhappiness in the past and the shadow brought by her father, facing her marriage with Zeng Zimu squarely, and working hard to manage it and protect him .

But even at that time, she still didn't dare to think whether Zeng Zimu really loved her?His indifference, his alienation, his indifference.He wanted the agreement she signed not to have children for five years, the woman who came to her door, and the pregnancy certificate issued by the hospital.Those candid photos, the photos of Zeng Zimu hugging other women on the bed, hurt her heart again and again.

After going through these things, how to make her think about whether Zeng Zimu really loves her?Just mentioning this topic made Yan Youwei feel that it was a great irony.

But now Xia Xiaoqiao said it, Ren Tingting said it more than once, and even Jiang Chengzong hinted at her there intentionally or unintentionally.No matter how much Yan Youwei deceived himself and others, he felt that he could no longer avoid this question.

The child is getting older day by day, and life without a father is not a problem after all.Yan Youwei never thought of reuniting with Zeng Zimu, even if he really loves herself, Yan Youwei can no longer live with him when he thinks about his past infidelity.

But the child needs a father.Thinking of Qiangqiang's mother's exaggerated and harsh words, Yan Youwei really felt that she couldn't hide it like this anymore.In recent days, she has been observing Zeng Zimu, his attitude towards the child, and their reactions when they get along.She could tell that Yang Yang didn't hate Zeng Zimu, and Zeng Zimu even liked Yang Yang very much.

Although he used to hate him for giving birth to his child, now he shows little love for Yang Yang.If Zeng Zimu really loves the child, Yan Youwei feels that he has the right to know the truth of the matter.

For three years of deceiving him, for three years of deceiving him, Zeng Zimu paid enough.Maybe with the passage of time, she can forgive Zeng Zimu the same way she forgives Ke Jianzhong.They can continue to be friends while Yang Yang has both mom and dad.If his long-standing wish can be realized, his childhood life should be more colorful.

The only thing Yan Youwei is worried about now is one thing.That is Zeng Zhiquan, Zeng Zimu's father.If only Zeng Zimu knew about this, Yan Youwei would have the confidence to persuade him to keep the child with her.But if Zeng Zhiquan knew about it, Yan Youwei couldn't guarantee it.

That was a man who didn't have much affection for his child, how could he be expected to be merciful to his subordinates?

Thinking of Zeng Zhiquan, Yan Youwei fell into a dilemma again.

Just when she was hesitating, Zeng Zimu ran to her again to check his favorability.Zeng Zimu has been busy for nearly a month since he brought Ma Huilan to the kindergarten last time.He once promised Yang Yang to take him out to play again, but he never kept it.

Yang Yang didn't dare to say it in front of his grandparents, but he always asked Yan Youwei in private: "When will Uncle Zeng take me out to play?"

Yan Youwei always said "soon, soon", but she didn't know exactly how fast.It wasn't until mid-April that Zeng Zimu was finally busy with the merger and acquisition case at hand and freed up time to fulfill his promise.

He first called Yan Youwei and asked about Yang Yang's recent situation: "Are you unhappy that you didn't see me?"

Yan Youwei said firmly: "No, he is so happy to go to kindergarten every day. By the way, I have to thank you for finding a new kindergarten. It is very good and the price is not expensive. The teachers and children there are very friendly. Very happy."

"Yan Youwei!" Zeng Zimu interrupted her, "Since the children are satisfied, don't be insincere. Tell me honestly, is it so difficult for Yangyang to miss me? Do you have to be stubborn?"

Yan Youwei silently gestured her middle finger in her heart, and said angrily, "Why are you looking for me, just to discuss whether Yang Yang misses you?"

"Let's go on a trip together next week."

"What, travel?"

"Yes, last time the Hera made its maiden voyage, you were limping and didn't have a good day. This time you go for half a month to make up for the loss last time, and Yang Yang will go with you."

Zeng Zimu's tone of speech was not discussing at all, but giving orders at all.Yan Youwei was very dissatisfied: "When did I say I was going to the Hera?"

"Mum, think about it carefully. Have you spent time with your child in the past few months? Have you taken him on a trip? I guess you haven't even been to a playground. The child's childhood is only a few years old, and so on." It won't be so easy for him to play again after he goes to school. Taking advantage of the good weather in April, wouldn't it be good to go out for a walk by boat?"

It's not a question of good or bad, even if you want to play, you shouldn't go with Zeng Zimu.What's more, he made arrangements without saying hello, and he didn't pay her much attention.

"I'm not free, I have to go to work. After walking for half a month, do you think I'm the owner of a TV station?"

"You are not, but I am." Zeng Zimu's chuckle came from the other end of the phone, "Your leave has been approved. I also asked for leave for him in Yangyang's kindergarten. In the past half month, you Take the children to relax, the Hera is not only fun on board, but also passes through many countries and cities along the way, you can also take Yangyang abroad to play, isn’t it meaningful to let him see and see?”

"Zeng Zimu, can you stop talking to yourself like this?"

"Yan Youwei, can you not be so ignorant?"

Yan Youwei was at a loss for words for a moment, only to hear Zeng Zimu still scolding her: "Do you know how many people in this city work overtime every year to death? How many people can't wait for a weekend. If you sit there, the world will fall." Shouldn't you cherish the next half month's paid vacation?"

"But in this way, everyone in the TV station will know that I am your related account."

"Didn't you ever be? You joined the newspaper because of Ren Tingting's relationship, and Jiang Chengzong recommended you to join the TV station. Yan Youwei, you are really a bit of a fool."

"I have nothing to do with Jiang Chengzong."

Zeng Zimu laughed all of a sudden: "Did I say that you two are related? Are you so eager to get rid of something?"

Only you have ghosts, and your whole family has ghosts!Yan Youwei was panting with anger, and after the anger was over, she started to care about practical issues: "But how can I tell my parents? If you take half a month off to go out and play, they will definitely be suspicious."

"Then take them with you and tell them it's hard to go out with me?"

"Zeng Zimu, can you say hello before you do things. It's really hard for me to bear your sudden appearance."

"Is it because you feel so happy that you can't bear it? I don't remember that you were so weak before?"

Having said that, Yan Youwei was completely defeated and almost raised his hands in surrender.She stopped arguing with Zeng Zimu, and listened to his arrangements in everything, letting him arrange the itinerary and travel programs on the phone.

Finally, he asked again: "Does Yang Yang have a passport?"

"No."

"Okay, then hand over the materials to me, and it will be done tomorrow. How are your parents?"

"They don't want to go. What if the elderly people get seasick, they have to take care of them. I take Yangyang out to play for half a month and they can relax."

"Okay, then it's settled. You can prepare to pack your things today, and the day you pack up the boat, you can sail the day. Don't let a boat full of tourists wait for you for too long."

When Zeng Zimu hung up the phone, Yan Youwei still couldn't react.They only talked on the phone for more than ten minutes, but it seemed that they had settled on a particularly important matter.

Thinking about what Zeng Zimu said, Yan Youwei suddenly made a decision that she would find a way to find out what Zeng Zimu said when she went on a trip this time.If he could really be a good father, she would tell him the secret when she came back from the trip.
