Chapter 494: The Dream Chaser in the Red Dust (Part I)
Returning to Beijing from my hometown, I started my daily commute again. Although the solar term has begun in autumn, Beijing is still unbearably hot and not cool at all. In order to take care of my mother's mood and health, my father took my mother to Vladivostok for a trip.
On Saturday night, with nothing to do, I emailed André, telling him about my current situation and lamenting the passage of time and the impermanence of life.
My grandmother's death was the first time I had close contact with death. It made me really feel what it means to be a time lapse and a powerlessness.
When I sent the email, I looked out the window at the night in a daze, and the light from the window of the opposite building made me feel the noisy and noisy fireworks in the world.
The dead are serene and calm, and the living are still greedy and restless. Human beings have always been like this, living in a cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death......
Andrei's call interrupted my thoughts.
He asked me, why did it take so long to contact him?
I said that I had been feeling grief and sadness since the funeral and did not want to transmit this emotion to him. To this day, I still don't worry about my mother, and I really don't know when she will be able to fully come out of her grief.
Andrei said he regretted not being able to be with me.
I said, now, I know how many regrets I have in life!
Whether it was the death of my grandmother, or the long separation between me and Andre, or even the wedding of David that I missed......
- "Hahaha...... David's Wedding. Andrei smiled a little ambiguously.
- "The wedding must be grand, right?" I asked
- "Hehe...... Ceremonious? I think this word interprets the characteristics of David's wedding. It would be inaccurate to say that it is just lively and festive.
Linna, before I just knew that my parents invited almost all the relatives in our family who were considered the most decent...... It feels like my parents have never shown off so much in their lives.
Oh, my sister-in-law has more guests than we do, and they're all really rich or expensive.
I really didn't expect David's wedding to be like this! It looks like a medieval aristocratic feast.
Lina, I told you that my sister-in-law's mother is Jewish, right?
This time I learned that the Jew who had coveted our firm was my sister-in-law's uncle, and he had come to the wedding.
The two of us had a chat, and he seemed to know a little bit about our business in the United States. He also said that he is still interested in working with our company.
At the time, I thought he was just talking casually, but I didn't expect it......
Had Tom not urged me to go back to New York to meet with my Japanese collaborators, I would have liked to know what David was doing with this Jew. ”
- "You're back in New York?" ”
- "It's been almost a week since I came back. Linna, this Japanese company is really strong, Tom said that they have 600 million at their discretion, which can fully support our Australian real estate projects......
If this project goes well, I will be qualified to take on the business of the Swiss head office! Andrei said excitedly
- "My dear, I originally planned to come to Zurich this time, and I will show you a good experience of life here, maybe you don't want to leave...... But by accident, nothing went as I imagined.
But, Linna, maybe you're right not to attend David's wedding this time! I really shouldn't have let you show off so easily. ”
- "Yes, I also feel like I don't belong in your circle, I'm neither rich nor expensive, and I don't want to fit in with them. It seems that the death of my grandmother is a warning from heaven to me not to forget my identity! I said in a serious tone.
- "Pull it down, Linna, do you really think these people are unattainable?" You're not willing to deal with them, are you? What did you do to Roman before, don't say I didn't see it. ”
- "I'm afraid it will affect you!" Your cause needs them, as for me! I may never be on the table again. ”
- "Lina, you misunderstood me, I don't let you show off easily, because you will amaze everyone!"
Once I took over our family business, we had a wedding that was even bigger than David's.
At that time, I'll make you a wonderful appearance again! I'm going to show my parents who their proudest daughter-in-law is! ”
- "My dear, I care who I marry, and the wedding itself doesn't mean much to me. Not to mention what form is there. I said
- "Linna, after all these years, you really haven't changed at all!
Hey...... That's how different Mary is from you.
Mary was so envious of David's lavish wedding.
She swore to his fiancé in front of my parents that David's wedding was the template for her wedding, and that she would never accept a wedding below this standard.
At that time, seeing her boyfriend's embarrassed expression, I really felt a little sympathy for him! Haha......"
- "Maria is also a celebrity now, and it is not too much to ask for this. No wonder your sister looks down on me as a poor girl. We weren't at the same level in the first place, so they naturally looked at me awkwardly. ”
- "Lina, my grandparents were purely Catholic. I didn't even expect my parents to welcome a daughter-in-law of pagan descent so much!
Although, my sister-in-law's father is English, you would think from her name that she is also a native English. However, even my grandfather said that my sister-in-law's appearance was more inherited from her mother's characteristics.
Do you think my grandfather and grandmother really didn't look awkward at me as a sister-in-law with a Jewish nose?
The point is that the power of my sister-in-law's family has made people stop exploring her lineage.
If my wealth had surpassed David's, they would have looked at you more than my sister-in-law. Not to mention that you're already beautiful.
Linna, in the past few years in the United States, I really understand what strength is! Andrei said.
