At the beginning of the lanterns, the capital city looked extremely prosperous under the shining lights.
With Yu Ziqing's acquiescence, Wang Yu drove all the way towards Wangfujing.
Halfway through the car, Wang Yu's cell phone rang.
Wang Yu glanced at it and pinched it off. But soon the phone rang again. Wang Yu frowned slightly and pinched it off again.
When the phone rang for the third time, Yu Ziqing said impatiently: "Pick up."
"Mom, what's going on?" Wang Yu asked impatiently after answering the phone.
"Come to my place tomorrow at noon. I have something to discuss with you." A middle-aged woman's voice came over the phone. From the decisiveness and strength of her voice, Yu Ziqing deduced that she was a strong woman with a strong personality.
"Is it about studying abroad again? I said I won't go!" Wang Yu said in annoyance.
"Why don't you go? How long are you going to hang out like this? Remember to come to my place tomorrow at noon!" came the woman's tough attitude on the phone.
"Stop talking, I'm driving." Wang Yu didn't want to continue to pester him, so he honked the horn.
"Then drive carefully, I'll call you later." The woman's tone immediately softened when she heard the horn sound, and then hung up the phone.
Poor parents in the world, Yu Ziqing sighed secretly, slowly looked away from the car window, and then looked at Wang Yu carefully for the first time.
Only then did I realize that Wang Yu seemed to be an old man on the surface, but upon closer inspection, he looked more like a rebellious teenager wearing earrings, with a hint of childishness on his face. He was in his early twenties at most.
Perhaps on a whim, or perhaps influenced by Wang Yu's mother's love for her son, Yu Ziqing said: "Actually, your mother is doing it for your own good. If you continue to hang out like this, sooner or later something will happen."
"Humph, she was good for me. If she was good for me, she wouldn't have divorced my father in the first place. Now I don't need her to take care of my affairs!" Wang Yu said in an angry tone.
It was only after he finished speaking that he suddenly realized that his little brother was still in someone else's hands. He couldn't help but tremble all over, and hurriedly apologized: "Brother, I was confused, don't mind."
Yu Ziqing did not get angry, but said calmly: "Tell me your story."
Wang Yu hesitated for a moment and reluctantly talked about his own affairs.
Wang Yu's parents divorced when he was in elementary school. The reason was that his mother was too strong and his father was too unmotivated and only wanted to be a law-abiding police officer. Later, his mother fell in love with a businessman, and then
Just left.
After his parents divorced, Wang Yu followed his father. Because of the divorce, his father's personality began to change drastically. He worked day and night, drank too much, and brought women home from time to time. Unexpectedly, this would turn him into a coward.
Nang's father made a breakthrough and became a police station director. However, Wang Yu spent a dark childhood and youth because of this. It was during this period that he began to embark on a chaotic life of eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling.
During this time, his mother began to show her strong female side in the shopping mall through the businessmen she was friendly with, and she became prosperous. Now she is the CEO of a well-known real estate company in Beijing. On the contrary, the woman who followed her back then...
Her best friend, a businessman, went bankrupt and committed suicide by jumping off a building because of the stock market.
The car Wang Yu is driving now was given to him by his mother on his twentieth birthday.
After Wang Yu finished speaking, the car fell silent. Yu Ziqing's keen eyes saw that the corners of Wang Yu's eyes seemed a little moist.
My father is a police officer, my mother is a wealthy businessman, but my son is a gangster. Yu Ziqing shook his head secretly, feeling a little pity for this young man who looked very prosperous on the surface.
"Do you hate your parents very much now?" Yu Ziqing asked.
"Do you think I shouldn't hate them?" Wang Yu secretly wiped the corners of his eyes and asked.
He has been holding these words in his stomach until now, and has never mentioned it to anyone else. Today, because his little brother was in Yu Ziqing's hands, he was forced to say it. After saying it, he suddenly told Yu Ziqing
A sense of intimacy arose.
"What if your parents had an accident and died now?" Yu Ziqing continued to ask very calmly, as if he was asking a very ordinary question casually.
But Yu Ziqing's casual question was full of unimaginable shock, like a sharp needle piercing the depths of Wang Yu's soul.
Wang Yu trembled slightly, yes, what if he died? Do I still hate them? No, no, I will definitely be very sad!
The car fell into silence again.
"Go back to Tsinghua University. You can do whatever you need to do tomorrow and don't worry about me." After a while, Yu Ziqing said calmly.
Wang Yu turned around and drove back to Tsinghua University without saying a word.
Back at school, Yu Ziqing walked slowly along a quiet path beside the spring pond in the nearby garden. There were willows on both sides of the road, exuding a faint fresh smell.
Yu Ziqing's heart was very quiet and he didn't think of anything. He liked walking quietly in such a quiet night alone. But soon this tranquility was broken by a phone call.
"Hey, you Yu Ziqing, you didn't say a word even though you were on a business trip!" came the call from Qian Mengqi, who was indignantly calling for punishment.
Yu Ziqing was not angry because his leisurely walk was interrupted. Instead, he felt a sense of intimacy when he heard Qian Mengqi's voice, and a happy smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
"Didn't I leave a note?" Yu Ziqing said with a smile.
"Note? Don't you have my mobile phone number? Also, are you the one who left a note like this?" On the other end of the phone, Qian Mengqi was gritting her teeth while holding the note Yu Ziqing left for her, and continued to ask questions.
Yu Ziqing asked knowingly: "Is there something wrong with the note? Tell me."
"Yu Ziqing!" Qian Mengqi's roar came from the phone. The loud voice was filled with "murderous intent" and startled many men and women who were hugging each other in the quiet place.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm not deaf." After Qian Mengqi's voice stopped, Yu Ziqing asked slowly.
"I...forget it, you are on a business trip, I won't argue with you now, I will settle the accounts when you get back." Qian Mengqi's tone suddenly softened, she was silent for a while, and asked: "Where are you now?
"
"Tsinghua University, I have been training at Tsinghua University for the past week." Yu Ziqing suddenly lost interest in teasing Qian Mengqi and explained seriously.
"Then, be careful when you go on a business trip." Qian Mengqi's voice suddenly became very gentle.
A strange atmosphere echoed between the two people who were thousands of miles apart, making them both feel uncomfortable.
"Well, it's okay. I'll hang up." Yu Ziqing suddenly realized that he didn't know how to continue talking to Qian Mengqi.
"Yes." Qian Mengqi's voice came from the other end of the phone.
There was silence on both ends of the phone for a while, and just when Yu Ziqing was about to hang up, a familiar voice suddenly came over the phone again.
"Hey, big pervert, I solemnly warn you that you are strictly prohibited from harming the flowers of our motherland!"
"Don't worry, I only like real women, and I'm not interested in tomboys and lolita!" Yu Ziqing hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
On the other end of the phone, Qian Mengqi was gnashing her teeth!
