84: Chapter 84 You will eventually meet someone

Zhao Qingyan made an excuse about not feeling well and hid in the Restroom for a long time.

It wasn't until her mother called her over to say the gathering was over that she finally came out.

When the two families were parting ways, Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang said they should get together often in the future, and Li Yunjie was also asking her to add his contact information.

Zhao Qingyan pretended not to hear, because Principal Zhao Weiming was already drunk, and she had to help Lu Chunyue support him downstairs.

Still want a next time?

"I don't want to attend these disgusting gatherings. If worst comes to worst, I just won't come back from school in the future!"

Zhao Qingyan thought to herself. She was majoring in mathematics, and staying at school doing research every day would be better than attending these kinds of social functions.

Look at her father; on the surface, he said he was friends with Uncle Li, but in reality, the difference in status was always there.

Otherwise, how could it be that only he got drunk, while Uncle Li remained composed?

The adult world is truly hypocritical!

Lu Chunyue shoved Principal Zhao Weiming into the back seat and went to the driver's seat to drive, instructing, "Baby, keep an eye on your father. Don't let him vomit in the car."

"I know. It was supposed to be a family dinner; why did he have to drink so much?" Zhao Qingyan finally couldn't help but complain.

"Silly girl, the adult world is just like that. It's not as simple as it sounds; you'll understand when you grow up."

"Then I don't want to grow up."

"Haha, my baby is so cute."

Lu Chunyue's greatest achievement in this life was Zhao Qingyan, and she doted on this daughter excessively.

Thinking about how she had said she wasn't feeling well and went to the Restroom midway through, she asked with concern, "Where do you feel unwell? Is it that time of the month?"

"I feel uncomfortable in my heart."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't like attending these kinds of gatherings, and I like interacting with Li Yunjie even less."

"Oh? What are your feelings about Li Yunjie? Tell me about it." Lu Chunyue was full of interest. Now that the dinner was over, she could finally speak freely with her daughter.

Zhao Qingyan thought about how Li Yunjie talked about how awesome he was abroad and how he was going to start a business, and said with extreme disgust, "He's greasy, boastful, and pretentious, and his eyes are especially disgusting. I don't like him at all."

"Right? My baby still has good judgment. As for that child Yunjie, I never felt that way when I saw him growing up. But this time he came back, I felt he had changed a lot. Anyway, he doesn't seem like a nineteen-year-old young man."

Lu Chunyue didn't think more highly of Li Yunjie just because he was the deputy county magistrate's son; instead, she expressed her most honest feelings: "Those clothes of his, the chain around his neck, and especially that yellow hair..."

"It might be my own personal prejudice, but I just feel that anyone who dyes their hair yellow isn't a good person."

"That's not your prejudice; I think so too." Hearing her mother's assessment, Zhao Qingyan felt her own perception was validated, and she felt much better.

She couldn't help but complain, "Uncle Li even said we should interact more in the future. I don't want to interact with Li Yunjie at all."

"Then do you know that while you were in the Restroom, he was discussing with your father about arranging a childhood marriage for you two..."

"Impossible!" Zhao Qingyan completely bristled and roared angrily, "I would rather die than like someone like Li Yunjie."

"Don't get excited. Your father already brushed it off, saying that matters concerning the children depend on the children's own opinions. The custom of arranged marriages from birth isn't popular anymore."

Taking advantage of the conversation reaching this point, Lu Chunyue became interested and followed up by asking, "Then baby, tell me, what kind of person do you want to marry in the future?"

"Marry?" Zhao Qingyan was stunned and blurted out, "I'm not getting married."

"You silly child, talking nonsense again. When your father and I are old, you'll need to find someone to take care of you and spend your life with. Tell Mom, what kind of boys do you like?"

"I don't like boys!"

"What? You don't mean you like girls, do you?"

"No."

"Oh, you scared me to death."

Lu Chunyue drove with one hand while patting her chest. After thinking for a moment, she changed her approach and asked, "If you absolutely had to like a boy, what type would you like?"

Zhao Qingyan's mind subconsciously conjured up Shen Weiyue's face. Clean, humorous and witty, sometimes with deep, thoughtful eyes. Persevering in his actions, knowledgeable, never losing his temper, upright and open... Thinking about it carefully, he had so many merits.

If I really had to like a boy, I would rather like someone like Shen Weiyue.

Zhao Qingyan was shocked by her own thoughts. Recalling how Shen Weiyue had asked her on QQ that morning, "Do you like me?", she felt dazed for an instant.

Do I really like him? That shouldn't be. How could I like that donkey? What I like is mathematics, the beauty of academics!

Zhao Qingyan's expression changed, and she remained silent. Lu Chunyue saw her expression turn gloomy in the rearview mirror and hurriedly comforted her, "Alright, alright, if you can't think of it, then forget it."

"Baby, don't think about it. You'll know when you meet that person in the future. Anything said before meeting them is just empty talk."

"Oh."

"Alright, don't think about anything else. Your uncle called me yesterday and asked me to take you to Shenzhen for a visit. He has some free time during this period and said he wants to take you to Disneyland in Hong Kong, and also buy you a gift to celebrate your graduation."

"Uncle is going to spend money on me again. That's not good."

"What's not good? Your uncle treats you like his own daughter. If he doesn't dote on you, who would he dote on? He's also in poor health, and all his hopes are pinned on you. If you call him more often, he'll be happy to death..."

Lu Chunyue had originally thought it was troublesome, but now she felt it was just right to take her daughter out for a trip to relax.

Zhao Qingyan nodded in a rare, dazed manner, her thoughts already having flown away to who knows where.

While the mother and daughter were discussing the issue of liking someone, the donkey that Zhao Qingyan was thinking about in her heart was already lying on a big bed in a hourly-rate hotel room.

July in Shenzhen was incredibly hot. Shen Weiyue had rented a room to enjoy the air conditioning and, by the way, treated Feng Jiayue to a popsicle. This kind of weather was truly unbearable for humans.

"Jiayue, I will probably return to Lingshan County in a little over a month. During this time, you need to hurry up and familiarize yourself with all the aspects of the online store. If there's anything you don't understand, ask immediately."

Feng Jiayue looked up, very reluctant: "You're leaving so soon? Our online store has just started, and I still have so many ideas I want to discuss with you."

"Then hurry up. Stop eating for now; I'll buy you another lychee-flavored one when we go out later. There's a lot of stock to ship today, so don't delay."

Feng Jiayue couldn't bear to part with the popsicle, so she ate the remaining half in one bite, then threw away the popsicle stick and asked in a rush: "Brother Shen, are you going to college?"

"Eating it like that, aren't your teeth cold?" Shen Weiyue was between laughter and tears. "I've already received my admission notice; of course, I have to go back and prepare."

"Then if you aren't here, I won't feel confident."

"Believe that you can do it. Many of your ideas have amazed me. I even think you are naturally suited for trading and business. Besides, I will control the overall direction remotely; you mainly need to handle procurement and shipping."

Shen Weiyue didn't intend to hand over the entire store to her to manage. It wasn't that he didn't trust her; it was that he didn't trust anyone, perhaps with the exception of a certain fox.

In the pause of his speaking, he felt a deep chill; the air conditioning temperature was set a bit too low, so he turned it up a few degrees.

Feng Jiayue was still reluctant to let go and hugged him tightly.

"Right, I remembered something. Before I leave, I will give you a phone number. It's a friend I made here. If you encounter anyone bullying you, just call him, and he will help you."

"Okay, Brother Shen, please don't speak for a moment..." Feng Jiayue suddenly frowned, interrupting Shen Weiyue's words, appearing to be immersed in the sad atmosphere of his impending departure, unable to extricate herself.

Shen Weiyue's heart was without waves. If Feng Jiayue wanted to achieve a career, she had to cut off this kind of female dependency early and learn to think independently and face various difficulties bravely alone.

Otherwise, she would definitely fall behind in the future and wouldn't be able to keep up with Shen Weiyue's pace of development. He would not stop in place to wait for her; in fact, he would double his speed. If that day truly came and she fell behind, there would never be any possibility of intersection between the two again. In this vast life, how many beginnings and endings of fate are there? Only those with like-minded goals can walk until the end.
