Chapter 174: Let go
In the few days that Lu Ze went to France, Su Yue began to help her mother deal with some work matters.
Since moving home, Su Yue has no intention of looking for a job again, and she is facing one unexpected incident after another in fear almost every day.
And now that Lu Ze's mother has passed away, although this tragic accident makes Lu Ze and Su Yue have no extra energy to think about the matter between them for the time being, but on the other hand, the two of them can also take a breath.
As for the future of the two men, they finally had time to stop and think about it.
For Su Yue, it was only after going through these things that she really realized the close connection between herself and Lu Ze. It is also a fact of doubt——— they cannot be separated.
At this moment, Su Yue's heart knew very well that since she had made the decision to walk side by side with Lu Ze, she should also find an opportunity to make it clear with Mu Yao.
However, Mu Yao seems to be busy with the lawsuit at hand recently, and he must be lacking in skills at the moment, neither being able to return to China to meet Su Yue, nor having extra energy to put elsewhere. So Su Yue planned to wait for Mu Yao to return to China and meet him to have a good chat about the things between them.
However, before she could figure out where to start with Mu Yao, she suddenly received a call from Mu Yao one day.
It's still an unfamiliar number calling in from abroad, but the familiar voice on the other end of the phone is no longer as sunny as before. This time, Mu Yao's voice sounded melancholy and depressed.
"Su Yue... It's me. ”
"Mu Yao... What happened to you? The voice sounds so tired..."
"Hmm... I haven't slept in two days..."
"Haven't slept in two days? Why is that..."
"Su Yue... I think there's one thing I have to tell you..."
Mu Yao's voice sounded very low, and Su Yue had never seen him look so depressed.
"I... Our family is probably unable to return to China. ”
"What?! Can't return home? Why? ”
Su Yue asked in surprise, according to what Mu Yao told herself, after they finished dealing with the lawsuit at hand, they should be able to return to China smoothly. And Mu Yao now told himself that their whole family could not return to China, which made Su Yue very puzzled.
Just when she was full of doubts, she only heard Mu Yao ask on the other end of the phone:
"Su Yue, you should also know... Recently, the country is fighting black, right...? ”
"Oh... I know something, I read it on the news every day. ”
"Hmm... My father... He was implicated in it because of this. ”
Mu Yao's words made Su Yue's eyes widen in surprise, she remembered that Mu Yao's father was a people's policeman and had carried out several important cases in the local area. He is the pride of Mu Yao's whole family, how could he suddenly be involved in the anti-crime incident now?
Thinking of this, Su Yue asked puzzledly:
"Mu Yao... How so? I remember that your father was not a police officer...? ”
"Alas... All I know is that after he retired a few years ago, he started his own business. However, I also recently learned that he has been dealing with some local underworlds, and there are probably some things in his business that can't be put on the table. That's why he will be implicated in this national anti-crime operation..."
"But the police... How can you do business with people in the underworld? ”
"Hehe... Isn't this the so-called 'black and white way'? ”
I only heard Mu Yao laugh bitterly, and then continued:
"When I learned that my father was implicated in the crackdown, I couldn't believe at first what I was hearing was true. I never thought that my father's proud career over the years was obtained by doing business with the underworld, I thought he was still the upright people's policeman in my heart. But even at this point, he wouldn't tell me what he did. ”
"Maybe your father didn't tell you out of a kind of protection for you?"
"Maybe... But because of this, my family will not be able to return to China, at least for now. ”
"Hmm... If you say that, for now you have to avoid the limelight. ”
"Su Yue... I'm sorry. Originally, we all agreed that when I returned home..."
Speaking of this, Mu Yao seemed to be stuck in his throat for a while, and he could hear that his voice was full of sadness and helplessness.
I saw him hesitate for a moment, and then continued:
"Between us... No way. ”
Even in Su Yue's heart, she had already made up her mind to choose to advance and retreat with Lu Ze, but after hearing Mu Yao say this sentence so desperately, she still felt a trace of sourness in her heart. It turned out that from beginning to end, neither she nor Mu Yao could control the things between them, and everything went in an unknown direction after unexpected events happened again and again.
And the agreement made by the two people in the small park did not come true in the end. Even none of them thought that that the separation would be forever.
"Oh... Mu Yao... That... You have to take care of yourself. ”
At the moment, Su Yue didn't know what else she could say, and the words of comfort obviously didn't mean anything.
"Su Yue, you too..."
"Hmm... Then I won't be able to contact you in the future? ”
"I'm afraid so, just in case, all my contacts will be temporarily closed."
"Got it... Mu Yao... I..."
At this moment, Su Yue was full of mixed emotions and emotion, she wanted to say something more to Mu Yao, but she never said anything when the words came to her mouth. A thousand words were finally reduced to just these few words:
"Mu Yao... Hope you are doing well. ”
"You too, Su Yue, I hope you can be happy."
This phone call was also the last call between Su Yue and Mu Yao, and since then, Su Yue has never received any calls from Mu Yao. It was as if the man had suddenly disappeared from her life, and she had not been heard from since, leaving behind a beautiful and sour memory.
Su Yue sometimes thought of Mu Yao, and would silently pray for him in her heart. She hopes that no matter where Mu Yao is on this earth, he can spend every day safely and no longer be tied up by the success or failure of his career. She sincerely hopes that one day in the future, he can find his own happiness.
And he and Mu Yao are separated, and they will each go their own way in the future.
After officially saying goodbye to her first love, Su Yue clearly understood that her years of attachment in her heart had been completely let go.
From now on, she will go on without looking back with the person she believes is destined for her. Whether it is the infinite bright road ahead, or the dark place full of thorns, it will not be able to stop Su Yue and Lu Ze from moving forward firmly.
Five days later, Lu Ze has successfully taken care of his mother's property in France, and now he is on the plane back to China, which is expected to arrive early tomorrow morning.
The trip seemed to be going well, and Lu Ze's body was not affected by this. Su Yue thought that she would receive Lu Ze's message as soon as she woke up tomorrow morning, and couldn't help but smile, it seemed that she could finally breathe a sigh of relief and sleep peacefully.
At about nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Su Yue woke up from her sleep in a daze, she subconsciously picked up her mobile phone, wanting to see Lu Ze's message as soon as possible.
However, to her disappointment, her inbox was empty, and she did not receive a single message from Lu Ze......
