Chapter 180: Love can only rely on fate
Chapter 180: Love can only rely on fate
It was a late spring night, the weather was clear, the moon was high in the sky, and the breeze blew by, bringing with it a hint of floral scent mixed with agarwood.
"What's the matter?" Wen Yiheng and Wen Song sat together in the garden. Wen Yiheng opened the beer, poured it into the glass, and took a sip.
Seeing Wen Song drinking directly from the bottle, he couldn't help but frowned, "Look at you, how does it look like to drink like this? It's not hygienic."
"Who drinks beer as pretentiously as you do?"
Wen Song complained unhappily, and quickly got back to the point, "Cheng Che told me everything about Mr. Cheng. You're not suddenly so kind-hearted because of me, are you?"
"How is that possible?" Wen Yiheng chuckled. "I just think there's no need to be so drastic. Cheng Bowen came to apologize to me early this morning and told me that he had fired the two leaders and would never hire them again."
"It wasn't Cheng Bowen who fired them." Wen Song corrected, "It was Cheng Che."
"I know." Wen Yiheng smiled faintly, "So if you have to say who it is related to, then I am doing it for Cheng Che's sake. I don't want to make things too awkward with the Cheng family."
"But they said that to you, and you just forgave them like that?" Wen Song was a little angry and anxious, "I should have beaten them up at that time."
After hearing her words, Wen Yiheng chuckled, poured a glass of wine for Wen Song and said, "It's not forgiveness, but there's no need to kill him. Your way of handling it is very good. It vents your anger without causing any consequences to yourself. Please don't do it. I don't want to send someone to the Munich police station to pick you up in the middle of the night."
Wen Song sighed softly and whispered, "Mom... I will feel sorry for you too, and I will be angry too."
"I know, thank you, my dear."
Wen Yiheng gently touched her head and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter. I have told you many times that when people reach a certain high position, they will definitely suffer a lot of doubts and criticisms. Especially in this male-dominated society, once women are in a leadership position, they will definitely face these things.
When I was in China, many people said worse things than this. At first, I was also very angry and would argue with them. I would punish them at all costs. But later, I became indifferent. It doesn’t matter. Anyway, no one dares to say it to me. If they say something too much, I will sue them. Moreover, after I came to Switzerland, there is no such gossip. "
"But you have always kept your personal and professional affairs separate..." Wen Song sighed, "I didn't expect you to make such a decision on this matter. Is it really not because of the relationship between me and Cheng Che?"
Wen Yiheng thought for a moment and said, "Of course there is a certain relationship. Because through you, I got to know Cheng Che. He is really an excellent person, good in every aspect."
Then he asked Wen Song, "Do you know that Cheng Che is the third largest shareholder of Cheng Group? He holds 28.5% of the shares, while Cheng Bowen only holds 32.5%. Therefore, Cheng Che will definitely take over the group in the future."
Wen Song shook his head, not agreeing with her words, "He won't, he's not interested in this. And Cheng Bowen also told him yesterday that he would not hand over the company to Cheng Che."
"It was just a spur of the moment." Wen Yiheng smiled and said nonchalantly, "Even if he doesn't serve as CEO, he will become the largest shareholder of Cheng Group, and the company will still be his.
In fact, I didn't want to cooperate with Cheng Group for a long time, not for any other reason, but simply because I didn't like Cheng Bowen's style of doing things. But Cheng is a large multinational company, a long-term, stable client of ours with sufficient financial security, and it has been developing very well, so I have no objection to cooperating with them.
Even if Cheng Che doesn't take over the group in the future, I don't want his company to become a mess. Of course, it's also for my own sake. There's no need to go against making money. And Ilia, Cheng Che is your boyfriend after all. If he lives a good life, won't you be happier too?"
Wen Song was silent after hearing her words, lit a cigarette, and said after a while: "Mom...thank you, but you don't have to do this for me. You said that we are all independent individuals, so I don't have to consider you, and you won't consider me."
"That's right." Wen Yiheng also took a cigarette out of her cigarette box and lit it, "But have you ever thought about it? I was born with a responsibility for you. Because before you were born, I brought you into this world without asking for your opinion.
If I could ask you in advance, maybe you don't want to be born and don't want to be my daughter. So, you don't need to worry about anything I do for you, and you don't need to think about repaying me. "
Wen Song couldn't help laughing after hearing her words and said to her, "This is really Dr. Lucille's way of thinking. I like it very much. You are right. But if you really let me choose, I would definitely be happy to say that I want to be your daughter."
"Thank you Ilia." Wen Yiheng looked at her with some emotion, "I have never really cared about you. Thank you for accepting me."
"Ilia, Cheng Che really loves you."
When Wen Yiheng said this, he suddenly showed a trace of envy and relief, "I also envy you for having such a beautiful love. Most things in this world can be obtained through hard work and money, but feelings can only rely on fate. Family, friendship, and love are all the same. Like me and your grandparents, we just don't have fate."
Wen Yiheng finished speaking, sighed softly, and lit another cigarette, "But you are very lucky, you have met someone who loves you very much. Cheng Che's love for you makes me, as a mother, feel ashamed. So, you have to be nice to him."
"So I feel a lot of pressure sometimes." Wen Song took a puff of cigarette and sighed, "He is so good to me, so good that I have no way to give him the corresponding return. I can't give as much as he does. It's not that I don't love him enough, but this is my personality. I can't do it."
"I know." Wen Yiheng raised his lips slightly and said softly, "But love is not an equal transaction or agreement. This is why I don't like love. Of course, I am not as focused on liking someone as you and Cheng Che."
Wen Song also laughed after hearing her words and asked a question that had troubled him for a long time, "In fact, I have always wanted to ask you, you don't love Tang Lingyuan at all, and you don't like him that much, why did you marry him in the first place."
"To complete the task." Wen Yiheng said helplessly, "Since I started working, everyone has been asking me why I haven't gotten married yet. If I don't get married now, I won't be able to get married. Your grandparents urge me every day, and later even Qing'an started to persuade me, saying that I should seize the good opportunities.
I was tired of being urged, and under the general environment at that time, I also felt that getting married and having children was something that must be experienced in life. It just so happened that Tang Lingyuan was pursuing me at that time. He had good conditions in all aspects, and I didn’t dislike him, so I agreed. ”
"What about Uncle Ling?"
Wen Song heard Ye Qing'an and Wen Yiheng joking about Ling Yi, the executive director of Junping's Zhejiang region, who was Wen Yiheng's first boyfriend during college. Although they broke up because Wen Yiheng went abroad, he has remained single and even pursued Wen Yiheng for a while after his divorce.
"He is so infatuated with you. You must have liked him before. Isn't he better than Tang Lingyuan?"
"Don't mention this lunatic." Wen Yiheng said unhappily, "He was the one who gave my home address to Cheng Bowen, and he had the nerve to call and ask me if the problem had been solved and if I needed his help. What a lunatic! I scolded him and told him that if he dared to do this again, my cooperation with him would end."
"Okay, Attorney Wen." Wen Song said with a smile, "He's a big director, but he acts like a little assistant in front of you every day. You shouldn't be so mean. So why, why did you choose Tang Lingyuan between him and Tang Lingyuan? I think Uncle Ling is much better than Tang Lingyuan."
"Because before I went abroad for graduate studies, he said something to me that confirmed that he and I would never be the same kind of people."
"what?"
Wen Yiheng thought for a moment and said, "He asked me if I could stay in China to study for a master's degree instead of going abroad. Or wait for him for a year and then go to the UK together. Of course I didn't agree, and I was very angry. What right did he have to dictate my life? So after I got divorced, he came after me again, and I told him the same reason, and then he gave up. His son seems to be going to high school now."
"Cheng Che told me that if I wanted, he could give up skiing and the Winter Olympics for me." Wen Song sighed, "I told him never to do that, because I would never do that."
"He really is a love-brained person." Wen Yiheng said half-jokingly, "But as your mother, I am actually a little happy. But you are right, you have no right to ask him to give up his future for you. If he does this, he will definitely regret it."
"But why did you fall for Tang Lingyuan..."
Wen Song tried hard to recall Tang Lingyuan's appearance. It seemed that the last time he saw him was many years ago at his grandmother's house. Although he could not remember what he looked like, he was not handsome at all.
I said silently, "Is there something wrong with your vision at that time?"
"Don't be fooled by Tang Lingyuan's current appearance. He was very handsome when he was young! He was tall and thin, with a good temperament, a bit like Kimura Takuya. He also promised me that he would not interfere with my career."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Wen Song quickly protested, "Don't touch Kimura Takuya, does he deserve it? It's disgusting."
"It's just a feeling, and it's only for a limited time period!!"
"Is he as handsome as Cheng Che?" Wen Song asked curiously.
Wen Yiheng immediately shook his head and said, "No. Cheng Che is the most handsome man I have ever seen in real life. You are so lucky. Remember to go to Lingyin Temple and burn more incense sticks and give more money for incense next time you go to Hangzhou."
"and after?"
When Wen Yiheng heard this, he showed a somewhat speechless expression, "Later, not long after he got married, he gained weight and stopped dressing up. Especially after you were born, he had no image management at all.
Then I lost my feelings for him and transferred to Hong Kong, hoping to turn a blind eye to him. Before he cheated on me, I was already preparing for the divorce and was ready to bring you to Hong Kong. So even if he didn't cheat on me, I would still divorce him."
Wen Song nodded after listening to this and said jokingly, "I never thought that there would be a day when you would speak up for Tang Lingyuan. It's really rare."
"I'm not speaking for him!" Wen Yiheng explained immediately, "I'm clarifying for myself! If you just met a scumbag when you were young, that's normal, just cut the loss in time. But I don't allow people to misunderstand that I like ugly men, this is absolutely not allowed! If a beautiful woman like me likes ugly men, I will be sentenced.
So I must explain to you that he was good-looking when he was young, but he became ugly later. But after he became ugly, I broke up with him. But I don’t know how he could kiss the wife he found later. When you wake up in the morning and see that face, won’t you think you have a nightmare? "
After hearing what she said, Wen Song fell on the sofa and laughed. Wen Yiheng also laughed and said to her: "So, Cheng Che is really very, very good. You must cherish him."
"I see." Wen Song said thoughtfully, "Although there are many things about him that I don't like. He is too sensitive, too clingy, and lacks a sense of security. He likes to ask me questions. But you are right, he really loves me, so I wonder if I should also change for him."
"You should." Wen Yiheng knew Wen Song's character and couldn't help but persuade her, "If you want to maintain a relationship, one person's efforts are not enough. So it may be difficult, but give it a try, okay? If you really love him, then try to accept his ideas."
Wen Song nodded after hearing this. She had never thought about the future, and forever was even more illusory. But she couldn't imagine what her life would be like without Cheng Che.
