Chapter 221 - 221 EXTRA

Chapter 221 Extra: Those People and Those ThingsYan Zheng, who fled early that year, was not involved much and was not a key figure, so he was not investigated later.He first fled abroad, and later, after China's reform and opening up, he did not return to the mainland but went to Hong Kong.The first few years abroad were actually a bit tough, but he wasn't stupid and quickly built up his business.Over the years, he had always thought about that person, wondering if she was doing well, or if she had gotten married.He wasn't without girls pursuing him—mature, young, all types—but none of them were like her, making his heart flutter.He didn't get married, but deep down he harbored a little expectation.Perhaps, it's just self-deception.They have no relationship. How could such an outstanding and radiant girl like her be alone?He didn't even know what he was hoping for...I want to go back, even if it's just to see her...When the popular mainland film "The Copper Bell Under the Locust Tree" became a hit in Hong Kong, Yan Zheng happened to see the promotional poster and was momentarily stunned...She looks just like her! Could it be...?He dared not think about it, and then mocked himself, what right did he have?But sometimes, some things seem to be arranged by fate.To confirm his conjecture…Coincidentally, Little Moon had a movie to film in Hong Kong, and Yun Ting was naturally worried about her daughter coming with the crew alone, so she personally accompanied Little Moon to Hong Kong.It was during this encounter that Yan Zhengunintentionally met the mother and daughter…The two, one big and one small, have similar faces, even their smiles are so alike…He heard the sound of his own heart breaking at that moment, and at the same time, he felt a sense of relief…Yes! That's how she should be, always smiling...Yun Ting didn't notice the distraught Yan Zhengnot far away, and perhaps even a fleeting glance wouldn't have caught her attention.Some people are destined not to belong to you; letting go is a kind of liberation...Lin Xue abandoned He Junjun and his daughter back then and ran away.She traveled to many places before finally smuggling herself into the port city with a man.They have an obsession with a life of wealth and luxury, no matter what they do.It wasn't so easy to get by in the port city. At first, the man who brought him there had some money, so the two of them could at least eat their fill and not go hungry.However, neither of them could endure hardship. Unable to find work and having spent all their money, Lin Xue was sent by the man to work as a hostess in an entertainment venue.Lin Xue was terrified of poverty, so she started to indulge in depravity, learning all sorts of tricks to please men without any burden.She was quite popular at nightclubs, and some men were into her charms, giving her a lot of money. She gradually got a taste of the sweetness of it all and became even more reckless.The man who brought her here was also supported by her. He spent his days wandering around and would come to her when he was short of money. Although she was disgusted by him, she didn't show it on the surface, just waiting for the right opportunity to dump him.She didn't want to stay here doing this forever; she was looking for a man who could take her away from here.And Yan Zheng, who suddenly appeared, became her target.She certainly remembered Yan Zheng. Back when she went to the countryside, besides Lu Jiayan, Yan Zheng was also a good-looking man. Now, seeing him looking like a big boss, Lin Xuefelt extremely regretful. If she hadn't been so fixated on Lu Jiayan and had chosen Yan Zhenginstead, would she be the woman standing next to him now? Why would she be living like this?It has to be said that some people tend to rely on men rather than work hard on their own.She doesn't even consider that while you might want to choose someone, the problem is that they have to be interested in you!Yan Zheng didn't recognize her. After all, he didn't pay much attention to other girls, and besides, Lin Xue was now heavily made up and had a worldly air about her, so no one would easily recognize her." Yan Zheng, do you remember me? It's me, Lin Xue! Back then, Xiangyang Brigade..."Upon hearing this, Yan Zheng's eyes sharpened. He looked at her and tried to identify her for a while, but he couldn't match her face with anyone else."Oh, sorry, I don't remember."Lin Xue's smile froze..."It's alright, you're a busy person and have a bad memory. But I've always remembered you. Actually, I've always thought that it would be great to see you again. It seems that God heard my heart. I'm so happy to meet you again today."Lin Xue feigned excitement and joy, deliberately conveying in her words that she had never forgotten him.Yan Zheng wasn't stupid. He scoffed, "Is God your father? Otherwise, why would he be so blind?"Lin Xue bit her lip lightly, looking at him with a tearful expression.Yan Zheng felt a chill. "Don't try that on me. It won't work. Get out and don't ever show your face in front of me again, or you can forget about staying in Hong Kong."Yan Zheng's words were icy cold. Lin Xue knew that she couldn't win this man over. She couldn't afford to be kicked out of Hong Kong, or her good days would be over."I'm...I'm sorry, I'll leave right now..." She hurriedly stumbled and ran outside, afraid that if she was a step too slow, Yan Zheng would have her driven away.Yan Zheng didn't actually have anyone kick her out. Since she knew better than to leave, he didn't want to waste too much time on unimportant people.Lin Xue was anxious for several days, but when she found that Yan Zheng hadn't sent anyone to look for her, she breathed a sigh of relief.Later, a nouveau riche came from the mainland.Lin Xue used all her charms to finally win him over, and he agreed to take her back with him, promising to divorce his wife and marry her later.Before leaving, she gave the man who brought her to the port city a sum of money, saying that it was all settled, and cleverly had him sign a written agreement to prevent him from asking her for money again in the future.She felt no shame about being a mistress; if she could be a prostitute, what was being a mistress?This man is from Shanghai. He took her back and kept her outside. As long as she has money to spend, Lin Xue doesn't care whether she lives with him or not.With the money, she went directly to He Junjun, gave him some money, and asked him to go with her to get the divorce certificate. He Junjun knew that this woman would never come back to live with him, so he took the money and readily divorced her. Lin Xue didn't even glance at their daughter before leaving, missing the expectant yet disappointed look in her daughter's eyes...Li Zhaodi was initially disappointed when she wasn't accepted by a university in Capital City, but she quickly recovered. Fortunately, she didn't only apply to universities in Capital City and was accepted by a university in the provincial capital, which is also a good thing.She had a slight limp, and when she first went to school, she received some strange looks. However, she had gotten used to it and didn't care. She just focused on her studies.She didn't actively make friends, but luckily Caiyun was also from the same school, and she would occasionally ask her to have a meal together, which was quite nice.She didn't go home either, to that patriarchal, suffocating home where they didn't care about her. She had always hated her parents' arrangements, making her follow Yin Jiao from a young age like a servant. No matter how much she suffered, her parents always made her endure it, completely disregarding her feelings. Even when Yin Jiao caused her to become lame, her parents didn't seek any justice for her. She had long since come to terms with it, so getting into university was her only way out of that home.If you are good enough and capable enough, what is there to fear?After graduation, she was directly assigned to teach at a middle school in the provincial capital, and she really enjoyed teaching the children.She is very serious and responsible towards her work and her students, and the children all like her very much.Although she wasn't very talkative, she got along well with the other teachers in the office. They would often bring some treats from home and share them with each other. Li Zhaodi would also occasionally make some pastries and bring them to share with everyone.She is very satisfied with her life now....After Yin Jiao's father had his accident, she returned home and was soon arranged to marry by her family.Her married life was not good. Her husband's family naturally did not pamper her like her original family did. They made her do all the dirty and tiring work, and she was no longer the young lady she used to be.Instead, she looked haggard, like a woman who had aged more than ten years, and lived like a walking corpse every day.The doting love that her parents and brother had shown her in those memories was like a fleeting dream, leaving her heartbroken and devastated.
