Chapter 247 I Just Treat Her as a Classmate
On the other side, Shu Baizhu's roommate Zhong Wen called out several times, which finally brought him back from his trance.
"What's wrong? I saw you were daydreaming after work today?"
After entering the finals, they have been teaming up with five people, and even stayed in the same room. Shu Baizhu and Zhong Wen can be considered old roommates.
"Nothing," Shu Baizhu smiled and shook his head, "Maybe I'm a little tired."
Since she said so, Zhong Wen didn't think much about it, and Shu Baizhu even used the excuse of "being tired" to rest early.
The dream that had not lasted for a long time enveloped her again.
——It’s her home.
My father's business is not booming, but thanks to the factory he owns, he still earns a million a year.
Her family bought a small villa early on. Her brother and younger brother lived on the second floor, but because she had been learning to paint since she was a child, she needed a quiet environment and view, so she lived on the top floor alone.
This is the home where she has lived since she was a child. Even if there is only a corner of the room in her dream, she can recognize it at a glance.
"Bai Zhu, you should think more about Ah Qi and Ah Zhen. If they are powerful, you won't be looked down upon by that old woman in the Zhao family, right?" Xiang Xueyan persuaded the other "her" earnestly, "Your brothers from your mother's family are your right-hand men. When your family is prosperous, if you are bullied by the Zhao family, we can come to your house to support you."
"Mom, isn't our life good enough now?" Shu Baizhu was very annoyed by such words. "You said you were sick and hospitalized, and tricked me back from the set, but you weren't hospitalized at all. You kept talking about the same things. Can't we talk about it over the phone?"
"Ziyi has already covered all your expenses. What else do you want her to do? What else do you want me to do? Do you want me to hand over the entire Zhao family to you with both hands?"
"Why do you talk to your mother like that, kid? Did the Zhao family make you angry again?" Xiang Xueyan hugged Shu Baizhu as if she were still young, and patted her back gently. "My dear, I say this because I feel sorry for you. In this world, the people who are least likely to harm you are us, your blood relatives, right?"
"Your brother's company is currently negotiating a cooperation with the supermarket in the Zhao Family Mall. Once it is acquired, your brother's cosmetics company will be completely different and will be able to go public. By then, you will also be the little princess of the president's family of the listed company, and you and Ziyi will be on an equal footing."
Shu Baizhu was tempted by her mother's tenderness for a moment, but she did not agree with Xiang Xueyan's words in her heart. Her family looked down on the Zhao family too much, not to mention that Ziyi also had a mother, Ziyu, who was particularly successful in her career.
The two of them are a truly powerful combination.
He wanted to clarify that a family like theirs, without the accumulation of several generations, could never reach the level of being on par with Ziyi, but he also felt that such an explanation would further arouse the desires of his family.
Xiang Xueyan hugged Shu Baizhu, rocked her gently, and patted her, "Mom knows that letting you marry a woman is unfair to you. Mom knows it all. Ziyi likes you. If you don't say it's for your brother, just think of it as for mom and dad, and give in to her, okay? Don't always be so cold to her. Didn't you have a good relationship when you were classmates?"
Shu Baizhu wanted to say that she never felt wronged for marrying Ziyi, but she could not tell anyone about such happiness. She could only treat it as an unspeakable secret and bury it deep in her heart.
"I can't get along with her." Shu Baizhu sniffed and said the most untrue words to the person close to her, "Mom, I don't like her. I just treat her as a classmate. I can't speak up. Are you going to force me to do this?"
"I'm not forcing you, Baizhu," Xiang Xueyan said in a firm tone, "your father and I have been training you since you were young. We have sent you to learn all kinds of talents, such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. No matter how expensive the tuition is or how hard it is to find a famous teacher, your father and I have tried every means to find you a good family. Ziyi's conditions... are not bad. The only disadvantage is that she is a woman."
"It's okay. Mom has asked around. You can coax her into giving birth to a child and say you're helping her. She's so career-oriented and strong-willed that she definitely doesn't have the time to give birth to a child herself. Then... Mom and Dad can find someone to replace the child with yours, and we can get that A report."
"Mom!" Shu Baizhu finally broke away from Xiang Xueyan's embrace, horrified by her parents' thoughts. She looked pale and stared at her mother, "This is a lie. I can't do it. I don't want to help her have a baby. The entertainment industry is also very profitable. I have given you all the money I earned. Isn't that enough? If I have a child, my career will be ruined."
"This won't work, and that won't work either. What do you think we should do?" Xiang Xueyan was a little anxious. "Your brother's company is in a hurry to get an order. He has bought equipment and invested money. If he can't get a big order, how are you going to let him live? And your two nephews, do you think they have lived a miserable life since childhood? Just listen to me on this matter. Go back now, control your temper, and talk to Ziyi. Once you get the order, mom won't urge you about the child."
"I want to live at home." Shu Baizhu's face was stiff and he was about to go back to his room.
Xiang Xueyan went up and grabbed Shu Baizhu's wrist, "You can't live at home. It's unreasonable for an unmarried daughter to live in her parents' home!"
Shu Baizhu smiled bitterly, tears filling her eyes at that moment. She wanted to question her mother. One moment she said that parents and brothers were her closest relatives, but the next moment she found that she had no home. So which one should she believe?
In other words, when a daughter is useful, she has a home, but when she is no longer helpful, she has no home.
"I understand. I'm going back." Shu Baizhu broke away from Xiang Xueyan's hand, picked up her bag, and left the home where she had lived for thirty years in a daze.
And she didn't really go home. She checked into a hotel on the road and ordered countless bottles of wine. She remembered that Ziyi loved wine tasting and the wine cabinet at home was filled with her treasures.
She would take it out from time to time to share this happiness with her. As she introduced one bottle after another, the freedom and indulgence that she longed for but could not get flowed between her brows.
Shu Baizhu, who was dragged into the dream, breathed a sigh of relief. She was suddenly glad that the new choice did not choose her.
After all, she—
I can't give any return to Ziyi's passionate and surging love, and I even have to bear the burden of an entire family.
She thought that tonight's dream would pass in the drunkenness and tears of "Shu Baizhu", but the drunk Shu Baizhu suddenly broke the glass in his hand, stepped barefoot on the glass shards on the ground, took a taxi, and returned to "her" and Ziyi's home.
