The joys and sorrows of people are different from each other, and 'Zhanxiang' is not her, so who knows how much she struggled back then.
Gu Qingyu drank heavily in silence. She felt that there was no point in continuing to argue.
‘Zhan Xiang’ obviously cannot take her place, otherwise, he would never say such a thing.
Who is Gu Lei?
That's her biological brother!
Isn't it normal to care about your younger brother?
She is the only younger brother, and their mother died young. As a sister, she is like a mother. As a sister, it is her responsibility to take good care of her younger brother.
Looking at Gu Qingyu who was silent, Li Jie shook his head slightly.
Although there are personal reasons why Gu Lei became what he is today, it is also inseparable from the way the Gu family raised him.
One glass after another, and soon the bottle of red wine was empty, and Gu Qingyu's eyes became blurry.
Suddenly, she seemed to have returned to the past.
In a slightly cracked alley, in the bright sunshine, a young man wearing glasses and a white shirt sat on the bluestone steps, holding an original English version of the complete works of Shakespeare and reading quietly.
Next to the boy sat a girl with a ponytail. The boy was holding a book and reading it seriously, while the girl was holding her face and looking at the boy secretly.
In a mediocre old-fashioned alley room, a man with a weathered face was lying on the bed, his head resting on his hands.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on his lips.
The smile is warm and heartwarming.
The man seemed to have remembered something wonderful.
The next second, the smile on the man's mouth disappeared.
"well."
Shi Yuan sighed silently, the past was the past, the present is the present, he should not dwell on the memories of the past.
The two of them are no longer in the same world.
In fact, he also saw Gu Qingyu at the airport.
Both of them thought that the other did not see them, but in fact they both saw each other, but they did not know each other.
Buzz!
Buzz!
At this moment, the mobile phone on the bedside suddenly rang.
"Hello?"
"Okay, I'll be there soon, ten minutes."
The call was from a poker friend. The other party knew that he was coming back today and specifically asked him to come over and play cards with him.
Shi Yuan couldn't remember exactly when he started playing cards. It seemed to be the year he graduated from a higher vocational school or when he was in school.
'What do I want with this?'
Thinking of this, Shi Yuan suddenly laughed.
Isn't it good to play cards?
Some people like to play games, some people like to read books, and some people like to play cards. They are all personal hobbies, and there is no distinction between high and low.
Although he loses more in poker than he wins, compared to the little money he loses in the stock market, the money he loses can only be considered a small amount of money.
When he thought of all the money he had lost in the stock market, Shi Yuan felt so distressed that he couldn't breathe.
If it weren't for stocks, his current life wouldn't be so miserable.
He owed huge debts, and his mother was seriously ill and needed a kidney transplant. These things weighed heavily on his heart, making him unable to breathe.
Only when he was playing at the card table could Shi Yuan let go of these things for a short time.
He can laugh when a good hand of cards is dealt, and beat his chest when a bad hand of cards is dealt. At the card table, he does not need to disguise himself.
Over time, mahjong became Shi Yuan's hobby. Whenever he had a break, he would go to the chess and card room to play two games.
The place where Shi Yuan lives is a typical alley in the magical capital. Most of the people living here are locals, mostly elderly people.
Five years ago, there was news that this place was going to be demolished. The residents were eagerly looking forward to it, but year after year, the demolition never came as scheduled.
"Shi Yuan, are you back?"
On the way to the chess and card room, people greeted Shi Yuan from time to time. They were all neighbors for many years and were very familiar with each other.
"Ah, I'm back."
Shi Yuan smiled and nodded, responding to the neighbors' greetings.
"Brother Shi Yuan, are you back?"
At this time, a young and beautiful woman jumped up to Shi Yuan. The woman had a ponytail and her facial features were not very good-looking, but she was not ugly either.
Youth is invincible. As long as a young woman dresses up a little, she will never be too ugly.
"yes."
Shi Yuan smiled and nodded, this time his smile was obviously more sincere.
The woman in front of her was named Lily. Her parents sold fish in the alley, so she followed her parents to the Magic City.
"Brother Shi Yuan, where did you go this time? Did you encounter anything interesting?"
Lily smiled and walked with Shi Yuan, looking for topics as she walked.
Although Shi Yuan is nearly ten years older than her, she can't stand how good-looking Shi Yuan is. She likes the uncle type, especially the handsome uncle.
Moreover, Shi Yuan is an authentic Modu native and has a local household registration. If she marries Brother Shi Yuan, she can also become a Modu native.
Of course, Brother Shi Yuan is not without his shortcomings.
I am a little poorer, my house is not big, and I have a seriously ill person in my family.
However, in Lily's eyes, these are nothing.
Being handsome, a local, and owning a house are enough to offset those shortcomings.
What's more, there's nothing wrong with being poor. Although Lily is a foreigner and doesn't have a high degree of education, her parents have worked hard in Shanghai for more than 20 years and still have some savings.
Post-marriage subsidies are not impossible at all.
“It’s still Da Nang.”
Da Nang is located in the middle of Annam and is known as the "Hawaii of the East". It is connected to Hue to the north and Nha Trang to the south. It is one of the most popular tourist routes.
I don’t know how many groups Shi Yuan has taken to Da Nang over the years.
"Brother Shi Yuan, when will you go next time? I want to play there too!"
Lily has long wanted to travel with Shi Yuan, but her parents have never let her go.
Her parents didn't let her go, not because they were reluctant to give up money or because they looked down on Shi Yuan, but because of other reasons.
Girls should always be more reserved. If you rush, you won't be able to make a deal.
"I'm not sure. I'll tell you when I go."
Shi Yuan's answer was a little perfunctory. In fact, he knew that Lily was interested in him.
Although he is now in dire straits, he still has a mother at home who needs a kidney transplant at any time. As we all know, the cost of kidney transplant surgery is very expensive.
But this does not affect Shi Yuan's disdain for Lily.
The woman in front of him was very different from the wife he expected.
He just wants to find an ordinary woman, with a pretty face, who can listen to songs heard in the streets, watch dramas suitable for all ages, buy a small amount of jewelry, wear comfortable clothes, know little about the world, leave her father's house, and enter her husband's house.
Wear nice clothes, put on a little makeup, speak appropriately, have your own life circle, don't be biased and contradictory, don't be humble and fragile, don't blindly ask for things from the world, and don't scrutinize everything.
Is this too demanding?
Shi Yuan asked himself, he felt it was not high.
To take a step back, even if he was downwardly compatible with Lily, his mother would not approve of this marriage.
My mother's ancestors came from a truly scholarly family, with a noble family background, a lot of talking and laughing scholars, and no ordinary people in her dealings, but she fell into decline later on.
However, just because the family's family background has declined, it does not mean that Shi Yuan's mother's vision has become lower.
Lily?
What kind of stinky fish and shrimps are worthy of my son?
