Liu Xiangru felt sorry, after all, the dead were gone. The living still had to look forward and not spend their lives dwelling on the past.
However, she didn't dare to push too hard, fearing that something might happen. In the end, she just nodded and agreed with her husband, "Well, then just pretend that mom didn't mention it. I'll go downstairs and talk to Aunt Park in a while, asking her not to mention it again and to find another one for her nephew..."
"When?" Shang Shiyu, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
"What?" Liu Xiangru was a little stunned.
"Didn't you just say that Aunt Park's nephew will be returning home soon? When will he be returning?"
"Oh, I'm back now! I've been back for half a month."
Shang Shiyu nodded, "Then tomorrow, okay?"
Liu Xiangru was stunned again, and she held her breath, fearing that she had misunderstood her daughter's meaning. Shangqiu was also surprised, and turned to look at his daughter, "You mean... meeting Aunt Park's nephew tomorrow?"
"Yeah. If he's willing, I have no problem with that. But I don't get off work until six tomorrow. We can have dinner together."
Liu Xiangru and Shangqiu looked at each other in disbelief. After two years, their daughter finally came to her senses
"Okay, okay! Then let's have dinner tomorrow!" Liu Xiangru was the first to come to her senses. She was so excited that she kept responding. Finally, she put down her chopsticks and stood up.
Shangqiu asked: "Hey, you don't even eat, what are you doing?"
"Call Lao Pu to make an appointment!"
"Is it really necessary to be so anxious?" Shangqiu muttered. Then he smiled and said to Shang Shiyu, "Shangshang, look how happy your mother is. She seems to be afraid that you will regret it."
Shang Shiyu looked at the two elders, and the smiles on their faces made her twitch her lips as well. However, the smile on her face never reached her eyes.
It seemed like this was all that was left in her life—to make her parents happy.
She survived only because of this.
The next day.
Shang Shiyu was sent from Shangqiu to work at a TV station in Mianyang City.
"Shangshang, don't forget your date tonight. Dad will pick you up here at six o'clock today." Before getting off the car, Shangqiu reminded her, and then said, "Turn around and let Dad take a good look at you."
"Do you think I should dress up?" Shang Shiyu took the bag in her hand and turned to show Shang Qiu. She knew how pale and listless she looked.
"That's not necessary. Our Shang Shang looks good no matter what. She just needs to gain some weight in the future."
Shang Shiyu smiled and said, "I won't say anything more. I'm going to be late for work."
"Well, go ahead!" Shangqiu nodded.
Shang Shiyu was about to open the car door and get out, but Shang Qiu couldn't help but call her: "Shang Shang..."
"Huh?" She turned back.
Shangqiu straightened his face and stared at her with eyes full of fatherly love, "Dad knows that you didn't go on a date tonight out of your heart. You did it to make your mom and me happy. But, Shangshang, you have to understand that you want us to be happy, but we want you to be happy even more. As long as you are happy, both of us will be energetic and happy to do anything. Mom and Dad don't care whether you will really get married and have children in the future. What we really care about is that one day you can forget the past and live a good life. If you perfunctorily deal with life, life will also perfunctorily deal with you, and you will never be happy. No matter how unforgettable the past was, it is already in the past, and you have to learn to look forward."
Shang Shiyu felt sad, bitter, touched, and guilty, "Dad..."
She wanted to say "I will", but she couldn't say these three words no matter what, because it was just a lie.
"Okay, Dad is nagging again." How could Shangqiu not know the pain in his daughter's heart? After all, he couldn't bear to force her. He took a deep breath, calmed down, smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "Go to work well, don't think about anything tonight, and enjoy your date as young people. See you tonight!"
Shang Shiyu got out of the car, and Shang Qiu drove away. She stood there, watching the car disappear in the crowd, completely gone. She didn't look away for a long time, her eyes were a little tight.
She is very unfilial.
It has been two years, and her parents are still worried about her.
But how easy is it to forget the past and live a good life
and…
She doesn't want to forget!
Such a beautiful memory, even with scars, is like a treasure she holds in her heart. How could she possibly forget it
She would take these to the end of her life, to the world where he was, and then... to the next life, where she would meet him again...
Shang Shiyu took a deep breath and suppressed the complicated emotions that were surging. She straightened her shirt and skirt and walked into the TV station with her bag.
She took the elevator directly to the 5th floor.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, a colleague came to greet me. "Team Leader Shang, we just received a notice from the higher-ups saying that someone from the Youcheng main station will be coming to inspect today. Let's make a simple report on the performance of our department's programs over the past two years and send it to the director's office."
"Why would someone suddenly come to inspect from the main station? I didn't hear any news before."
"Yes, I'll be here in the afternoon. Now there's only one morning left, so we need to hurry up and finish the report."
Shang Shiyu nodded and responded calmly, "It looks like a surprise inspection. Please notify the others to hold a meeting, and let's divide the work and work together as quickly as possible."
"good."
The man hurried off to inform others.
Shang Shiyu pushed the door open and walked into the office, put down his bag, turned on his computer, and stared at the computer for a moment.
The people from Judah...
Just the name of a place made her feel uneasy. Maybe the person coming this time was an acquaintance, or maybe a stranger.
The work was so urgent that she couldn't afford to spend more time on this issue. All the colleagues in the department gathered together, and she took the materials to the meeting room to assign tasks, and soon everyone was engaged in the work.
The group worked from 9 am to 2 pm. No one went to eat lunch or take a nap, but luckily everything was completed within the stipulated time.
"Here they come! Team leader, the people from the front desk are here!" Someone pushed open the door and came in to call her, "I saw it, the car just drove downstairs."
Shang Shiyu heard the sound, opened the office curtains and looked down.
It seemed that quite a few people came this time. There were five cars parked on the first floor. The door of the first car was already open, and the people inside should have entered the building. Two people in suits got out of the cars that followed.
Sure enough, they were from the headquarters. She had met one or two of them when they were at a conference at the headquarters. They were all high-ranking officials of the headquarters.
So…
Yu Sheng, are you here too
Shang Shiyu felt a pang of pain in his heart. Whenever he thought of people or things related to the past, his heart would ache. Not to mention actually meeting them!
She took a deep breath, lowered the curtains, took the report she had prepared earlier in her hand, and calmed herself down before preparing to go upstairs.
