NOVEL NEXT Chapter 197
197. The Fate Has Ended
Wen Han would not deny that she thought of Su Zeheng, nor would she deny her concern.
On the contrary, she instantly admitted it and immediately realized.
It turned out that…
While I left bits and pieces of memories in Su Zeheng’s life, leaving behind countless details and groundwork…
Did he quietly leave some things in my life too?
But Uncle… if you think I would care, if you think I would like you like the old times, then that’s just ridiculous.
【Seeing someone who didn’t care before now not caring about oneself, and having a new life, so feeling unwilling, beginning to regret, and unconsciously starting to like the other party, even pursuing them】
Wen Han understood too well how all emotions and feelings eventually developed, so she was even clearer about all the purposes and outcomes.
Precisely because of this, she clearly knew that regardless of whether Su Zeheng was intentional or not, the result would be to make her fall into regret, just like Zhao Meng Sheng, and ultimately like him.
But it was precisely because she was clear-headed that she could instantly cut off all the forward progress of these emotions.
“You have your new life, and I have my new life.” She sneered, “I want to see if you can really remain unaffected while I flirt with other men? If you can… then so be it~”
If Su Zeheng really didn’t care about her anymore, then so be it!
Did I, Wen Han, really need his crazy love?
Without one man, there were many other men who wanted to flirt!
Yesterday’s matters would not be remembered tomorrow; Wen Han had always been extremely carefree.
Because she knew she would never truly like a man.
All men were merely her playthings!
…
“Bye bye~”
Waving her hand, the girl finally blushed and returned home.
Watching the door close, Su Zeheng in the car finally dared to light a cigarette, quietly enjoying the silence alone.
“…”
After a moment, he thoughtfully glanced at his phone, which had no messages.
Su Zeheng silently smoked until the cigarette butt extinguished.
【Remember to collect data tomorrow】
He sent a message to Wen Han and drove away.
…
Creak.
The bathroom door opened.
Dressed in a thin top and lace underwear on the lower half, her snow-white legs exposed to the air.
Wen Han, holding a towel to dry her hair, stepped out and heard the sound of her phone.
“Uncle?”
She threw the towel aside and sat on the sofa.
“Collecting data?”
He sent her a message, but it was about work.
“But Uncle, you already mentioned this during the day.”
Wen Han chuckled, lifting her head proudly.
“You want me to ask about the message but don’t want to mention what just happened, wanting to appear that you don’t care, right?”
Rolling her eyes, she turned off the phone.
However… this could also just be her guess.
Thinking of this, she opened her phone again and took a glance, hesitating for a moment before replying with 【Received】.
The message sank like a stone into the sea; the other party did not reply again.
Wen Han couldn’t be bothered, so she made herself a cup of hot milk and returned to bed to rest.
Her period was coming in a few days, and she needed to take care of herself to avoid another round of menstrual cramps that would keep her from getting out of bed.
…
The next day.
Under the clear sky, the tall buildings reflected dazzling light, making the entire Star River City look radiant.
But even a bustling city has its worn-down side.
In an old neighborhood, Wang Yong, dressed in a suit, had just stepped out, and the woman behind him hurriedly chased after him.
“You forgot your briefcase!”
“Uh?” Wang Yong immediately looked down, smiling slightly, “I almost forgot.”
“You… don’t be too tense, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
“I…” His gentle wife made him feel even guiltier, and Wang Yong sighed, “The savings at home are running low. Xiaomei still needs to go to school, and the house’s mortgage isn’t paid off yet. I’m… sorry.”
“A Yong, you don’t need to say sorry to me.” The wife shook her head, “I’ve asked many friends these days, and there’s a convenience store that’s hiring. I want to give it a try.”
“No! I don’t agree!”
Upon discussing this matter, Wang Yong’s brows instantly furrowed.
“How can you work with your health condition? I… in any case, I will find a way for this. Besides, there is already a company willing to hire me. I’m just still considering and want a few more options.”
“Really?” A smile immediately appeared on his wife’s face, “As long as you find it, that’s great! You’ve worked hard.”
“It’s fine.” Touching his wife’s face, Wang Yong smiled slightly, “Then I’ll go first.”
“Okay.”
The couple shared a gentle kiss, and Wang Yong hurried away.
Snap…
The door closed, and Wen Han, who had been hiding in the corner, finally revealed her true self.
“So that’s it! His family really isn’t well, with mortgage and tuition… So Wang Yong must be eager to find a job to support his life.”
Muttering to herself, Wen Han raised her eyes and continued to follow.
…
“I’m sorry, your age doesn’t suit our requirements.”
“Forty-six? Mr. Wang, are you joking?”
“Sorry, you don’t meet our criteria.”
“Three thousand a month, no bonuses in the first year, and you must unconditionally accept overtime. Can you accept that?”
“Sorry. Next.”
Middle-aged unemployment determined the outcome.
Wang Yong sighed as he walked out of yet another building he had just been rejected from.
The lack of youthfulness and vitality, the constraints of family, the competition in the big city, and the flaws of age… all became reasons for his rejection.
Until now, the only company willing to hire him and with comparatively better conditions was still…
【Company 777】
Taking out the business card from his pocket, Wang Yong’s expression turned gloomy.
He wasn’t foolish; he certainly knew that becoming a supervisor would carry significant risks.
But the pressure from his family made him reconsider, especially… what if? What if he really took off and could provide a good life for his family?
People always have a gambling mindset, especially when entering a valley of despair.
Wang Yong constantly fiddled with the business card in his hand, his eyes turning back and forth.
In a trance, he heard the sound of high heels approaching.
“Ah!”
With a snap, one of her heels suddenly broke, and Wen Han let out a cry as she fell to the ground.
Wang Yong quickly looked up and hurried over, “Miss, are you okay?”
“I’m fine!” Wen Han got up helplessly, “Thank you! My name is Wen Han.”
The familiarity of the other party left Wang Yong somewhat stunned, but out of politeness, he nodded and smiled, “Um… hello, I’m Wang Yong.”
“Mr. Wang, do you work nearby?”
“Um… no.” Wang Yong bowed his head in shame, “I’m still looking for a job.”
“Looking for a job?” Wen Han raised her eyes, “Mr. Wang hasn’t found a job yet?”
“Yeah.”
“If I may ask, what industry do you work in?”
“Sales.” Wang Yong sighed, “But this field is highly competitive. I’m a man in my forties, average-looking, and it’s tough to…”
The sense of despair and disappointment was evident on his face.
Wen Han immediately smiled, “Really? Mr. Wang, I happen to be a job broker. If you’re willing, I can help you find interested companies for free!”
