Never Live Up to Your Love - C131

Seeing that I was so insistent, she let go of my words, and said: “Alright, I’ll give him a call now, okay?”

“Thank you so much,” I said.

Fu Ziya said: “Actually, there is no need to be so courteous between us, we are all friends, my husband is not someone to be trifled with.”

I smiled and said, “You have your manners, but I insist on it.”

She had no choice but to go to the side and call her husband. I stood there quietly, as if afraid that she would disturb the child who was still resting, and then went to the balcony, where the computer was switched on for a very short time, barely two minutes. Since Fu Ziya’s back was facing me, I couldn’t see her expression, so I didn’t know what the result of the call was either.

However, I think that I have already recognized him. He should be clearly aware of this by now. Could it be that he still wants to escape for the rest of his life? Or maybe he just wants to never see me again. If that’s the case, I’ll help him.

After Fu Ziya pushed open the door and walked in, I quietly waited for her to speak, and didn’t anxiously ask her about it.

There was no awkwardness on her face. Instead, she said with a smile, “He agreed. He said he’ll have dinner with us tonight.”

I frowned. “Did she really say that?”

Fu Ziya laughed and said, “That’s right, I also didn’t expect that he would actually agree this time.”

Fu Ziya used this time. After catching onto these two keywords, I smiled and asked: “Could it be that you’ve still told him about me?”

Fu Ziya immediately replied: “Of course there is. I’ve talked to him about you many times, but when I talked about you with him, he didn’t talk much, nor answer me much. I’ve always felt that he didn’t really like me being together with you. After all, he might have misunderstood you about the mine the other time. ”

As she said that, a happy smile appeared on Fu Ziya’s face. Holding her phone in her hand, her face was brimming with joy as she said, “Fortunately he agreed to it this time. Otherwise, I would really feel awkward.”

I said, “When it came to the mine, I really wanted to —”

Before I even finished speaking, Fu Ziya had already interrupted me and said: “I did not help you with the matter of the mines the last time, and everyone had their own ulterior motives, but I do not think that you are a person that cannot be given anything just for that matter, since it is just a thank-you gift for helping Xiao Mu.”

She came over and took my hand and said, “Oh, don’t stand there. Sit first, wait till the afternoon when Chen Su comes to pick us up. At that time, the two of us will go over together. ”

I nodded, and sat down on the sofa, then Fu Ziya went to the kitchen to prepare some food.

I didn’t think that he would actually agree to my request, which surprised me a little. But after the surprise, I didn’t feel that it was surprising, Yu Jin is a smart person, he knows what kind of character I have, rather than hanging on to me like this, I might as well give myself a quick death. It’s just that I didn’t expect that after not seeing each other for four years, everything would change so much that we would meet again in such a way.

He actually had a gentle and kind wife, and a lively and lovable son. His life was really cozy and perfect.

If his mother was still alive, she would be incomparably pleased with everything that happened to him. He had finally put his life on the right track and even became someone else’s son-in-law.

When we meet again, should I continue to call him Big Brother, or Yu Jin? Or Mr Fu? In the end, it was still difficult to say.

As expected, Chen Su came to pick us up when dinner was about to arrive. The child was left behind in the hospital under the care of a servant, and on the way there, I didn’t say a single word, but only looked out the window in a daze at Fu Ziya who was sitting beside me. On the other hand, Chen Su was asking all sorts of questions about what we were going to eat tonight.

As Chen Su drove, he replied her seriously.

After the bodyguard opened the door, we got out of the car. The manager of the restaurant was already waiting for us, with Chen Su following behind me and Fu Ziya, we followed the manager into the restaurant, after passing the corridor, we went into a private room, and said that I was treating, but the manner of it made it seem as though I was a guest, so I didn’t care that much.

When we arrived at the private box, there was no one waiting for us. After Fu Ziya and I sat down, he asked Chen Su: “Has he arrived yet?”

Chen Su poured a cup of tea for me and Fu Ziya, and said with a smile: “Sir, you mean that you want us to use it first?”

After Fu Ziya heard this, she said, “Let’s just wait for him. I’m not hungry right now anyway.”

After a while, Fu Ziya turned her gaze towards me, and asked while smiling: “Little Wei, what about you?”

I smiled and said, “I’m not hungry either.” The most important question I asked was, “When will he be here?”

Chen Su said: “There is something that has been delayed, it shouldn’t be for long.”

I didn’t say anything.

There were a lot of snacks and side dishes on the table. Fu Ziya and I were eating and chatting while waiting, but when the day got to nine o’clock, I was full of tea, but the key person still had not arrived.

Fu Ziya, who was supposed to be relaxed, became anxious. Looking at the time, he asked Chen Su: “Still not here?”

Chen Su took the initiative and said: “I’ll go and give Mister a call.”

Fu Ziya said: “If he’s really not going to win, then Little Wei and I will eat first.”

When the waiter opened the door, he went out to make a call. After he had left for a period of time, Fu Ziya looked at me apologetically and said, “Little Wei, don’t mind him, my husband is really too busy. Sometimes, when we eat together, Chen Su will have to go out and urge him a few times before he can find the time to do so.”

I smiled and said, “I don’t mind. It’s the same when I work.”

Fu Ziya said: “Then let’s eat first.”

I originally wanted to say wait first, but Fu Ziya was afraid that I would get hungry, so she had already called for the waiter and had them serve the dishes.

After the waiter left, Chen Su came in. After he came in, Fu Ziya raised his head and asked: “How was it?”

Chen Su looked at me, then said to Fu Ziya: “Sir still has some matters to complete. I told you to eat first with Miss Yu. ”

A look of disappointment instantly flashed across Fu Ziya’s face. After a long while, he slowly said two words, “Alright …”

After she finished speaking, she said to me once more, “Little Wei, can we eat first?”

I smiled and said, “No problem. I’m fine anyways.”

After that, Fu Ziya and I started to eat first. We didn’t eat much, there were a lot of dishes, and the taste was more biased towards me, it shouldn’t be food ordered by Fu Ya, when we arrived here, we didn’t even touch the menu, I reckon that the menu was already decided before I came.

After about twenty minutes, I sat down for a long time. My waist was hurting a little, and after eating some undigested food, I said to Fu Ziya, “I’m going to the washroom.”

Fu Ziya immediately nodded her head, and sent a waiter to bring me over. When I arrived at the entrance of the washroom, I didn’t rush in, but instead leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette for myself, and the cigarette was almost burnt halfway, I extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray on the trash can beside me, and then I stood up and entered the washroom. Around five or six minutes later, I came out from the washroom, returned to the entrance of the private room, and was just about to reach out my hand and push the door open, when I heard Fu Ziya’s laughter behind me.

There was a long distance between us, and I could vaguely see that Fu Ziya was holding onto a man. That man was dressed in a simple black suit, and I couldn’t really tell who he was, because he was looking down at Fu Ziya who had just spoke. Behind them was a crowd of people, and as they got closer and closer, their distance from me became shorter and shorter.

When Fu Ziya saw me, she suddenly jumped up happily and waved towards me. “Little Wei! We are here! ”

Just as she blurted out those words from Little Wei, the man beside her also looked over. In that short instant when our gazes met, all the sounds around us were forced to stay still, the crowd that was moving between us, Fu Ziya’s smile, and the air that was flowing between us all froze in that instant.

I didn’t know how much time had passed, but I took a subconscious step back. I didn’t notice what was behind me, but I heard a loud noise behind me, and when I looked back, I realized that I had knocked a vase over.

The vase broke under my feet, and when I raised my head in shock to look at them, Fu Ziya immediately rushed towards me. She supported my body that was close to collapse, and asked: “Little Wei? Are you alright?! ”

I glanced at him, then at the man in the distance. I didn’t know how I should react or how I should reply to Fu Ziya’s words. My mind was currently blank, as if someone had formatted it for me.

Seeing that I did not have any reaction, Fu Ziya immediately turned around and spoke to the man behind him in French, as if he was asking for his help.

When he stopped in front of me, I couldn’t respond in a calm and strange way. I wanted to laugh, but I couldn’t. I wanted to look as normal as possible, but the emotion on my face was already beyond description.

I stared at him, and he looked at me, and his eyes were like deep water, so deep that you couldn’t see the bottom, and you couldn’t see the bottom, and you couldn’t see any news, so calm that it was as if we never knew each other, just ordinary strangers.

After a long moment, he smiled and extended his hand to me. “Are you all right?” he asked gently.

Fu Ziya was afraid that I might not recognize him, and immediately introduced him at the side: “Little Wei, this is my teacher, he is also surnamed Yu.”

I didn’t take the initiative to shake his hand. Instead, I twitched the corner of my mouth and said, “Hello.”

He very naturally retracted his hand, and no longer looked at me, but said to Fu Ziya who was at the side: “Go in first.”

Fu Ziya immediately nodded her head, holding him with her arm once again, she complained: “You don’t know how long we have been waiting for you, I thought you wouldn’t come.”

When the man heard her words, he merely chuckled and said, “I’m sorry, there was indeed some delay.”

The two of them walked in, one in front and one behind, with a tacit understanding, leaving me standing there awkwardly. I didn’t recover for a good while, until Chen Su reminded me: “Miss Yu, you should go in.”

I finally reacted and turned around stiffly.

The dishes on the table were all removed by the people, and after changing a few dishes, Chen Su helped me pull out a chair, and I mechanically sat down.

Fu Ziya did not notice anything strange about me, when her husband came, she had always been secretly conversing with her husband in French. Her eyes were filled with smiles, and the man beside her was naturally graceful and elegant, with a smile plastered on her face.

I was like an outsider. They were forced into a corner to watch the couple.

It was only until Fu Ziya came to her senses that I was able to sit there without speaking for a long time. Then, I immediately withdrew my gaze and called out to the man beside him.

He followed Fu Ziya’s words and looked at me, then asked in a symbolic manner: “Is Miss Yu used to the dishes here?”

The hand I placed under the table tightened bit by bit, but the expression on my face was still stable. I replied politely, “It’s alright. Thank you for entertaining us, Miss Fu.”

He smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. Chia’s friend is my friend. I’ve heard her talk about you many times.”

I sat upright in there and replied smilingly, “Miss Fu has also told me about you. I would really have to thank you for the mine.”

He smiled but did not reply to me. Instead, he turned to Chen Su and said, “The red robes here are not bad.”

After Chen Su understood what I meant, just as I was about to pick up the teapot on the table, I said softly: “No need, I have never been used to drinking tea.

Chen Su glanced at me but did not move, and slowly retreated.

When Fu Ziya saw this from the side, she added, “Little Wei, do you want some fruits?”

I said, “No need, I was already full.”

Fu Ziya said in a regretful tone, “If we had known earlier, we would have waited for a while longer. Now that we have all eaten, we can only sit here and watch you eat by yourself.”

Hearing that, he lowered his gaze to look at Fu Ziya, and said with a slight smile: “I don’t care, you’re the one entertaining my friends today. Where are you going next?

It was only then that Fu Ziya seemed to recall this, and she quietly cried out before looking at me and asking, “Little Wei! Do you want to go? “For example, if you want to play somewhere, then it just so happens that you have time today. You can accompany us there.”

Just as Fu Ziya finished her sentence, my phone on the table rang. I lowered my eyes and saw that it was Li Luo calling, and he probably wanted to ask me why I hadn’t returned yet. I held my phone up and said, “Sorry, I’m going to pick up a call.”

After I finished speaking, I turned and quickly left the private room, and picked up Li Luo’s call from the corridor. He spoke directly into the phone. “Where are you?”

He probably knew that Yumann Ting had gone back, and I was still in Y city. I didn’t intend to lie to him, so I simply replied, “I’m in Y city.”

Li Luo asked again, “Then when will you be back?”

I said, “I guess…” At this point, I thought for a moment before saying, “Just for a few days.”

Li Luo said, “I’m already in Y City.”

I asked in astonishment, “What did you say?”

He said, “I was worried about you, so I came over.” Without waiting for a response, he asked, “Where are you now?”

I subconsciously looked at my surroundings before replying, “I’m at the Mirror Lake area. We’re having a meal together, so why don’t you go to the hotel and wait for me there?”

He said, “I’ll pick you up now.” I still want to say something, Li Luo doesn’t even give me a chance. After hanging up, he sent another message over, “I’ll be right over. There’s something I need to tell you.”

I don’t know what was it that made him so anxious, but right now, I simply don’t have much time to worry about Li Luo. I didn’t stay outside the hallway for too long, and quickly returned to the private box.

After I entered, Fu Ziya smiled and asked: “Little Wei, who is it? “Family?”

When Fu Ziya asked this question, he also looked over, right in front of him. I calmly replied, “No, friend.”

After I finished speaking, I paused for a few seconds before saying, “Zhia Ya, I might not be able to play with you anymore. I have some matters to attend to so I need to head back first.”

Just as I said that, the phone that was placed on the table rang again. The caller was Li Luo, and seeing that I was still busy, Fu Ziya immediately said: “It’s alright, Xiao Mu is coincidentally still in the hospital, I’m worried. If you have any issues, you should hurry up and leave.” She thought for a moment and said, “We’ll send you off?”

I said, “No need. Someone is here to pick me up.”

I glanced at him, but didn’t say anything else. I picked up my phone and bag, turned around and left, but after walking a few steps, he said, “Have the driver send the Miss Yu.”

This sentence was directed towards Chen Su, who immediately lowered his head and spoke behind him, before walking over to me, standing beside me and saying: “Miss Yu, it’s better if we send you off.”

I wanted to say something, but the words came out of my mouth. Without saying anything, Fu Ziya pulled her husband’s hand and said: “Let’s go too, it just happens to be along the way.”

Yu Jin looked at her with a smile: “You don’t want to go?”

She shook her head and said: “Xiao Mu is still in the hospital, I am worried too.”

When he heard this, the smile on his face disappeared as he said, “Hmm, let’s go back to the hospital first.”

Fu Ziya asked again, “Then do you still have a job tomorrow?”

He brought her and stood up from the chair, one hand still holding onto the buttons on his suit as he said: “There are still a lot of things that I haven’t finished taking care of. Today the doctor called me and told me that Xiao Mu’s condition has improved quite a bit.”

Fu Ziya said happily, “That’s right, it’s gotten a lot better. The only bad thing is that you keep asking for your father.”

When he heard this, he smiled. With a glint in his eyes, he reminded Jiang Chen, “Let’s go first.”

Fu Ziya obediently followed him out of the banquet, allowing him to hold onto her hand as she looked at him with eyes full of ease and dependence.

I stood there for a while, then walked to the private box ahead of time and headed straight to the main hall. Fu Ziya and the rest followed behind, we entered the elevator and entered a narrow space station. There were a lot of people there, I stood alone in the corner, trying to make myself feel as if I was not there at all.

Fu Ziya and the others were standing in front, while Chen Su was standing behind them. Suddenly, no one spoke anymore. After Fu Ziya casually chatted with me for a while, she didn’t have the mood to continue the conversation. Her gaze continued to wander around Yu Jin and he didn’t have much time to pay attention to me.

The elevator door was made of stainless steel, so I was shocked at that moment and immediately moved away from the door. After a while, I suddenly felt that my action just now was filled with a guilty conscience, as if I had seen him being grabbed and wrapped up on the spot.

Thus, I calmly shifted my gaze upwards once again. Then she smiled at him in a very natural and very polite way, as if to greet him.

The corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile, and he calmly shifted his gaze away from the elevator door. Because in the next second, the elevator door opened in response, and he grabbed Fu Ziya.

Arriving at the door, Yu Jin opened the car door and helped Fu Ziya up. After Fu Ziya got on the car, he looked at me who was standing behind, and indicated me to get on. I stood there for a few seconds. Just as I was about to bend down and enter the car, someone suddenly rushed forward from behind and pulled me away, and the moment he grabbed me, I didn’t even have time to react when Yu Jin suddenly extended his hand out and pulled me into his embrace. The bodyguards quickly rushed over to grab the person who had barged in.

Just as I steadied myself and looked up, I realised that the one being held by the bodyguard was Li Luo. I immediately said, “This is my friend! Everyone, don’t misunderstand! ”

The bodyguards looked at Yu Jin, and Yu Jin looked at me again. I struggled out of his embrace. He rushed over and snatched Li Luo away from the bodyguard, and asked him: “Li Luo, are you alright?”

Li Luo rubbed his wrist, which had been grabbed red by the bodyguard, not saying a word. After a while, he immediately shook my hand off his arm, then pointed at Yu Jin beside him, asking with a tone full of questions: “Who is he?”

I was stunned for a few seconds. Then, I realised that Li Luo seemed to have misunderstood something and quickly explained, “He is Miss Fu’s husband. We came together to eat.”

Fu Ziya who was already sitting inside also felt that something was amiss, and immediately stuck out her head and said, “Yes, we came out together. Don’t misunderstand. ”

When Li Luo saw that there was another person in the carriage, the tension on his face finally eased up. However, he still turned his head to the side and asked, “Really?”

I never thought that something like this would happen at a time like this, so I warned Li Luo with my eyes: “It’s true.”

He sensed my unhappiness and knew that he was being reckless. He took my hand and whispered, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know what was going on.”

I ignored him, and instead spoke to Fu Ziya who was in the car: “Cheng Ya, then I won’t be sitting in your car.”

After I finished speaking, I looked towards Yu Jin who was standing by the side and said, “Thank you for receiving me today.”
