Chapter 10 True Letting Go 2
The president's office of Wei's Group is located on the top floor of the Wei's Building and is decorated in a gorgeous and tasteful manner.
This is my first time setting foot in this place.
I think, maybe it's the last time.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the office was depressing and so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
"I heard that your father is a policeman." Old Master Wei lowered his eyes and didn't look at me, but I felt that he never stopped looking at me.
"Little girl, do you know what social class difference means? Do you know that perhaps your father's lifetime salary cannot even afford to buy a famous painting in this office? Do you know how far apart our world is from yours? You may think that love can conquer everything, but you are wrong! Let's not talk about whether you two are just impulsive young people or so-called bullshit love. Even if you two really like each other now, can you withstand the cruelty of time? When that impulse fades and the love fades, you will be nothing in his eyes!"
Looking at me quietly, Mr. Wei looked confident and in control of everything.
"So girl, do you stay and let your relationship fade away with time, or do you take the initiative to leave and leave a place in Wei Jimo's heart that no one can ever replace? It's up to you!"
"Grandpa Wei..." I originally thought that the old man would put a check in front of me and use money to buy my feelings, just like in the TV dramas, or use his power to suppress the budding love between Wei Jimo and me, but I didn't expect that he would say so much to me.
I admit that a lot of what he said makes sense. After all, old ginger is spicy! Wei Jimo is a little fox, and his grandfather is an old fox! He knows how to move people's hearts accurately.
"My father's salary may not be enough to buy a famous painting for your office. My world and Wei Jimo's world may be just as you said, one in heaven and one on earth. But, Grandpa, do you know? There is no such distance in true love. I like someone not because of his family background or his identity, but just because he is him, the one who can make my heart beat faster, make me happy, and make me cry, that's all!" I thought carefully and spoke slowly, "You said that time can dilute love and make the feelings we were proud of fade. Maybe you are right! But, so what? We humans are destined to die from the moment we are born. Grandpa, do we need to give up the process of enjoying life ? We still work so hard and live so hard, why? Isn't it to make our lives more exciting. Since we can't give up our lives just because we know we are destined to face death, why should we give up our feelings easily because of those unknown variables?"
"So Grandpa, I still say the same thing." I smiled and swore calmly and firmly, "As long as Wei Jimo still likes me, I will not take the initiative to leave him! We don't know what the future will be like. The important thing is that we have worked hard today and paid for our relationship with our heart, so there is no regret!"
"Good, very good. I heard that you are the main person in charge of the school newspaper and are eloquent, it seems to be true!" Nodding, it was hard to tell whether there was more emotion or praise in Mr. Wei's eyes, "Girl, I really admire you a little. The girl our Ji Mo likes is really not bad. But..."
His expression changed, and Mr. Wei returned to his cold and inhuman expression.
"I won't grant your wish, nor will I change my mind. If you insist on not leaving my family, then I can only send him abroad. I want to see if your so-called love is really as you said, able to withstand the cruelty of time and distance!"
"What, Grandpa? You want to send your brother abroad?" Hearing this, my heart suddenly sank. Su Anyang, who had been staying beside me without saying a word, spoke before me, "Grandpa, you can't do that. That's not fair to Ji Mo!"
"Fair?" As if hearing a joke, Old Master Wei raised his head and laughed, "Anyang, remember, as a child of the Wei family, there is never absolute fairness. You enjoy the honor and wealth brought by the Wei Group, and you must also contribute your life to it! This is what is called fairness."
"If that's the case, I'd rather have the surname Su for the rest of my life than become a child of the Wei family!" Su Anyang clenched his fists and bravely declared war on his grandfather, "Grandpa, my own life can only be dominated by myself forever! No one can control it. Including you!"
"Very good, you are worthy of being my granddaughter, and a child of my Wei family." Old Master Wei laughed in anger, with a bit of suppressed anger and a bit of proud admiration in his eyes, "Anyang, remember what you said today, don't regret it!"
"Of course." Su Anyang nodded and said firmly, "Never regret it!"
"So, what about you?" Old Master Wei raised his eyes and looked me straight in the eye for the first time. "Will you take the initiative to leave my Ji Mo so that he can stay in the country and continue his studies, or will you insist on having your own way and force me to send him abroad to study alone in a foreign land?"
"Grandpa, I'm afraid I can't make the decision on this matter." I looked up and smiled at Su Anyang. I suddenly felt very relieved. "You heard what Anyang said just now. Everyone's life should be decided and controlled by him (her) himself. So, the same goes for Wei Jimo's life! Go or stay. It's all his own choice. I can't make the decision for him!"
I stood up slowly and bowed to Mr. Wei to say goodbye. I heard my own voice clearly but firmly ringing out in the president's office -
"But Grandpa, I still say the same thing, no matter where he is, as long as he still likes me, I will not give up!"
