Chapter 518: Life Reset
Jolene didn't live at her sister's house, not only because it was too far from where she worked, but also because her stack of books was difficult to move. The most important reason is that once she goes to her sister's house, all her spare time will be occupied by the little bell.
Therefore, she let Xu Na live with her for the time being. Xu Na, who was working on a new work, said that she was very embarrassed, but she still moved to Jolene's apartment with her two cats and a big guitar.
On the way here, Xu Na kept nagging: "What should I do?
"Anyway...... You don't like to go home, you can't fall in love, there's nothing to do but protect your friends!"
...... Well, my good friend inserted this knife, Xu Na was convinced.
In fact, Xu Na's life is not monotonous, after the seal carving, she became obsessed with Chinese painting. A girl dressed in neutral clothes, a girl who looks cool, can hold a paintbrush and paint for hours. Qiao Lin said that Xu Na's focused appearance has a special magic.
Learning to paint is expensive, and Xu Na's basic salary is only enough to support herself, so she has to work hard to earn manuscript fees to support her hobbies. She said that she still had to save money to study in Europe, so she had to work hard to make money, continue to sell her words, and if necessary, go to bars to sell her singing, anyway, she would leave when she saved enough money.
Whether in Hong Kong City or in Beijing, they have not been separated for so many years. Jolene hopes her dream will come true, but she doesn't want that day to come so early.
When two good friends live together, it's natural to talk about the old things that happened in Port City. Recently, Jolene is most difficult to let go of is the "Vivian" she met in Hong Kong. Xu Na said seriously: "I said it at the time, girls who are beautiful and open-minded will probably not have a bad time." β
"You are a philosopher, and you see more than us mortals. β
"Alas, that is, Min Jia suffered, and it took so much effort to get out of the shadows, but as a result, such a bad thing happened to the family. The perpetrator lives freely, but the victim has a bad fate, and fate, he just likes to play tricks on people. β
Since the accident at home, Min Jia didn't want to contact outsiders, but once she cried when she called Jolene. She and Dr. Yan have two houses in Hong Kong City, they now live in a large one, and the small one is idle, Dr. Yan has already had an idea, he hopes to sell that house, and the two of them will change to a bigger one, but after the accident in the Song family, he doesn't want to sell it again.
Min Jia was very thin-skinned, she didn't want to beg her husband, so she sold the small house to save her parents, but the situation at home forced her to speak. Dr. Yan didn't say anything, and as soon as Min Jia cried, he said that the house was the first property he had bought in Hong Kong City, and he was reluctant to sell it.
Min Jia worries about her parents, and is sad because of her husband's attitude. In a fit of rage, she took her two babies back to her parents' house. Her mother once told her that if she was bullied, she should tell her family at any time that the family would always support her, but if the young couple had conflicts, don't always think about running home, and the two of them can solve the conflict calmly, which is the right way to live. A family, after all, still has to live together.
Min Jia remembered these words, but she still ran home. Because, the moment her husband said those words, she felt that they were not family. On the other end of the phone is Min Jia, who is crying bitterly, and on this end is Jolene, who is embarrassed. Jolene is not married yet, and she doesn't know how to deal with these parents. Logically speaking, the house was bought by Dr. Yan in full, and he really had no obligation to sell it to help his father-in-law's family, but logically speaking, he originally wanted to sell it, but when something happened to his father-in-law's family, he didn't want to sell it...... From Min Jia's point of view, she was indeed very hurt.
A few days later, Min Jia said that she had reconciled with her husband, that he had put the house back on the Internet, and that if it could be sold, he would help her father-in-law's family within his means. He told Min Jia that after all, their families were the core of his life. All his decisions are to ensure the normal operation of this small family.
Min Jia's anger did not completely subside, but her husband said it sincerely, and she accepted it. She convinced herself that her husband was right, he was the pillar of this small family, and she could not morally kidnap him and force him to bear the burden of the entire Song family.
In the end, Min Jia was also a little resigned: "What can I do? I can't help my parents, I still have to live with my husband!"
The eldest lady, who was once beautiful, has become a little daughter-in-law full of powerlessness in the blink of an eye, and Qiao Lin only feels distressed. Xu Na said thoughtfully: "I think the future of the Song family still depends on Song Minrou. β
Xu Na didn't guess wrong, after Qiao Lin stepped into the examination room, Min Rou quietly arrived in Beijing. She still didn't have any contact with anyone, only Wei Chenglin.
At that time, Wei Chenglin experienced a new round of ridicule, and he had an awkward relationship with his lyricist. The two of them had an awkward quarrel, and it had nothing to do with any economic disputes, or because Wei Chenglin's level was not good, and he always mispronounced words. The mistake of that time was even more low-level, pronouncing "popular" as "popular".
Yizhi Chun jumped to his feet in anger, and he didn't understand how a person who had completed college could make such a mistake. Wei Chenglin not only did not introspect, but also said with a grin: "It was because I couldn't get into college in China that I fled to the United States!"
It's been several years, and he still hasn't made much progress, which makes Yizhichun very crazy and doesn't want to work with him anymore. Wei Chenglin can't help it, he doesn't care about the field, no matter how many times he says it, he won't go to his heart, there is a kind of dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and what he likes, he can do it well without being urged by others.
Song Minrou's call came at three o'clock in the morning, and Wei Chenglin was still composing music in the studio. After receiving Min Rou's call, he immediately became nervous - I'm afraid, this time she really came to borrow money.
Wei Chenglin took a deep breath before picking up the phone. Song Minrou said that she was in a bar and wanted to meet him.
Wei Chenglin hesitated a little, and finally rushed over. Min Rou sat in the corner, much thinner than before, but her neck was more slender, like an elegant and cold white swan. She drank very slowly, and even her slightly drunken posture was full of the demeanor of an artist.
"Miss Song, you are about to get married, and you have an appointment with other men in the middle of the night...... If this thing gets out, it will insult your eldest lady's reputation, right?"
Wei Chenglin looked left and right, for fear that others would recognize him and cause unnecessary trouble. Song Minrou didn't care, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of a scandal?"
"I, what am I afraid of? Anyway, the scandal hasn't been spread once or twice. Wei Chenglin relaxed and said, "You came to me for money, right?"
As soon as he spoke, he realized that he had made a mistake.
Who is on the other side, it's the arrogant princess of the Song family! Even if she is down, it will not be his turn to mention the matter of money first!
Alas, it must have been the fans who held him too high, and he got carried away to dare to be so presumptuous in front of Song Minrou.
Just for a moment, Song Minrou's eyes became cold and shining. Wei Chenglin hurriedly lowered his head, for fear that she would spill that glass of liquor on herself.
However, he thought too much, and in the blink of an eye, her expression was already covered with sadness, she just took a sip of wine lightly and said, "About money, I'll tell you when I think about it." β
Something happened to her family, and most of her confidence was taken away, she was no longer arrogant, and even became cautious when she got angry. Thinking of this, Wei Chenglin felt very uncomfortable.
Song Minrou said that she does not plan to return to the United States in the near future, and will help her family overcome the difficulties first. What if I get expelled from the orchestra? She smiled helplessly: "Then I can only come back and inherit the family business!"
Wei Chenglin was taken aback: "Are you crazy? You are a high-profile young pianist in the world, what else can you do if you don't play the piano?"
Song Minrou looked at her slender fingers, and she couldn't imagine that if these hands didn't play the piano, but held the signature pen and shook hands with different business people...... She couldn't imagine that kind of scene.
"Wei Chenglin, life is like a dream, when you wake up from a dream, your life will be reset. Take my family and my aunt's family as an example, even just three years ago, I didn't take their family seriously, but now? Sister Qiao Lu has a successful career and married into a famous family in Beijing...... They've become famous people in Hong Kong City, but what about our family? Can I watch my family go into decline?"
"I understand what you say, but that doesn't require you to give up the piano......"
"If I really need to give up, then I won't back down. β
Now, Jolene has enough confidence to choose to study or work without any worries, while Min Rou has to reconsider her career. She said it categorically, Wei Chenglin could feel her perseverance, but he couldn't measure her heartache.
She went back to Beijing this time to break off the marriage contract with her boyfriend. Her parents didn't know yet, but she was determined. She thought clearly, there was a big problem between her and her fiancΓ©, and after getting married, she didn't have the confidence to live in harmony with her in-laws. She said that if she wants to get married, it is not impossible, at least when the Song family makes a comeback, they will come to the door in person and marry her back in style.
Wei Chenglin was stupid when he heard this, this girl really can't be controlled by ordinary people. She said: "I want to be like Sister Qiao Lu, not begging them to marry me, but I have enough confidence to marry myself well." β
Wei Chenglin could only applaud her, and was worried about what if her parents found out? Song Minrou didn't seem to be too worried, she pondered for a while before asking, "Chenglin, do you have a lot of contact with Sister Qiao Lu?"
"Not much, but I see Jolene a lot. What's wrong?Do you have something to do with Sister Qiao Lu?"
"No, not at all. Song Minrou denied: "It's just a casual ask." β
