Chapter 307: Chapter 307 The Whole World Is Urging Me to Give Up (II)_1
“Perhaps they’ve already accepted the reality!”
I still feel disheartened inside, though.
I had initially had high hopes for the treatment in the United States.
Now that they won’t allow it, I feel so empty inside.
However, I’m just Ding Yinuo’s fiancée in name, this engagement ceremony is not recognized by law.
If Ding Yinuo’s family doesn’t agree, I can’t make the decision myself.
However, Wenya’s opinion is different from mine.
She glanced at the retreating figures of Ding Xiao and Aunt Din,
“See that, Aunt Din’s white hair has grown a tad more recently.”
“Yes, she is actually the one who suffers the most!” I said with emotion.
Wenya agreed,
“So, you don’t need to keep dwelling on it. They made this decision because of you!”
“Because of me?”
“Yes, they saw you as a young woman, knowing that Ding Yinuo might never wake up, so they didn’t want to hold you back. Not going to the United States also means not letting you hold on to a hopeless hope, and waste your life.”
Wenya’s words shocked me a bit.
But it makes sense.
The Dings are all very rational, and Aunt Din is a broad-minded mother.
Making this kind of decision must be very painful and helpless for them.
But I can’t oppose it.
It’s such a contradictory situation.
I laughed bitterly,
“Ruin my life? Haha, my life is already ruined by Gu Yuanzhou, I’m just a wandering spirit. Without Ding Yinuo, I have nothing to cling onto in this world.”
“Ayun, don’t think like that! You still have us, don’t you?”
I looked at Wenya, smiled, and nodded. Even though I was annoyed inside, I couldn’t make her worry for me.
So I just agreed as if it was no big deal.
“Okay!”
Although the plans for treatment in the United States are temporarily shelved, my plan hasn’t stopped.
During this period, I work at Tianjiao during the day, striving hard. I can’t let Ding Yinuo’s hard work be in vain.
And at night, I go to the hospital to take care of Ding Yinuo.
I tried to read him poetry!
To read him medical books!
To play him piano music…
As long as his heart is beating, I won’t give up on him.
Aunt Din often takes time to come to the hospital.
It’s not that she comes to visit her son, but more like she comes to keep me company.
Every time she comes, she always brings some stewed chicken soup, fine desserts made by herself, and sometimes she buys me some small jewelry or other things.
Over time, I’ve felt her familial care for me.
She sometimes inadvertently shows her wishes for me to meet some excellent men.
I knew she meant well, but I still resolutely refused.
“Auntie, since I’ve already gotten engaged with Yinuo, I have the duty and responsibility to take care of him.”
Aunt Din sighed deeply,
“I’m afraid of delaying you! Yinuo once told me that his fondness for you is based on your happiness. As long as he saw you happy, he could be at ease. I think, if he could feel anything now, he would want you to have a happy ending.”
“Auntie, please don’t bring this up again! Whether or not Ding Yinuo wakes up, I will not love anyone else.”
“Ah, you child…”
That day when I just left the hospital, I ran into Ye Mengyan again.
No longer as haughty as before, she was wearing an outdated dress, her hair had not been taken care of for a long time, and was simply tied up at the back of her head.
She was quietly pleading with the doctor,
“Can the hospitalization fee for my mom be delayed, I will find a way…”
“Miss Ye, alas, our hospital is not a charity, you should hurry. If the money is not paid by next week, please go through the discharge procedures.”
“I understand, thank you doctor!”
This is probably the first time I’ve seen Ye Mengyan acting so humble.
But she got what she deserved… I couldn’t be bothered to care about her.
Nine o’clock at night, Jiangnan Restaurant.
Shen Yishu invited me for dinner.
I brought along friends like Jia Yuyan with me.
Since the launch of our vintage fashion line last time, this style has become our trademark.
And Jia Yuyan has successfully been promoted to a design assistant, standing next to me now, she’s like a professional career woman.
And Shen Yishu has also been doing very well, making the company I invested in for him thrive…
After we all settled down, we started to order, Shen Yishu picked up the menu and called out, “Waiter!”
“Coming!”
A woman in a blue server uniform ran up.
“Sir, are you ready to order?”
The voice sounded familiar, I looked up and recognized her, the waitress turned out to be Ye Mengyan.
Shen Yishu had already recognized Ye Mengyan.
But Ye Mengyan didn’t recognize the well-dressed young man of extraordinary temperament in front of her.
“Mengyan, what happened?”
When he asked this, Ye Mengyan finally looked up in surprise.
As she recognized the man in front of her was her previously despised ex-boyfriend, she was instantly filled with shame.
Yes, back then, in her eyes, Shen Yishu was a poor man without any background, just a bootlicker and a backup.
But now, he’s the boss of a company.
Seeing the well-dressed man in front of her, Ye Mengyan’s heart started to flutter…
She glanced around the restaurant.
She also saw me, only she met my gaze for a few seconds, then shifted away.
She must be aware that without Gu Yuanzhou’s backing, I’m someone she can’t afford to mess with anymore.
That gaze was clearly filled with a little timidity and contrition.
Just like the first time I saw her among a group of poor students all those years ago.
However, she shifted her gaze soon, realizing that the man in front of her might be her another chance.
“Yishu! Amazing to see you again…What a small world! To think we would meet in this city.”
Shen Yishu greeted her warmly, “Yeah! You’re working here now?”
“Ah, I used to be blind and offended people…Now, it’s not easy to find a suitable job, you know, my mom is not well and needs surgery, which requires a lot of money.”
“How much do you need?”
Ye Mengyan was just asking tentatively.
She didn’t expect Shen Yishu to take the initiative to ask.
Then Ye Mengyan said, “About hundreds of thousands!”
“That’s indeed a huge sum, especially for you.”
Ye Mengyan hesitated, conversed with Shen Yishu for a while, and asked about his parents.
Then she said,
“Yishu, I see you are doing very well now. I remember you once said that once you make it big, you would help me out.”
“Yes, I did say that!”
“So, would you be willing to lend me money?”
