76: Regret
Because Han Qingyan suddenly equipped Bai Feifei with all the necessary staff, practically arming her to the teeth, Han Wen suddenly lost his job as her manager and assistant, becoming completely unemployed.
Of course, these minor matters couldn't affect Han Wen's mood at all. After all, he had been so attentive before, wanting to be with Bai Feifei every day, just looking for an opportunity to win her over.
Now that he already had the beauty in his arms, Han Wen naturally wouldn't bother with such strenuous efforts anymore. Since he could hire someone to solve some problems, he naturally wouldn't personally intervene and waste his time and energy.
Men are such ruthless and realistic creatures. Han Wen never boasts about how devoted or loyal he is; it's self-deception and meaningless.
Just as Han Wen was at home reviewing business plans and preparing to invest in some projects at the end of the year, he suddenly received a call from Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu wouldn't normally call Han Wen. So, he was somewhat surprised.
"Brother, did you call me for something?" Han Wen asked.
"Han Wen, do you have time? Come out, let's have a drink," Zhou Yu asked.
"Okay, tell me the place and time, I'll be there soon," Han Wen agreed immediately.
After Zhou Yu told him the time and place, he hung up the phone.
Han Wen didn't know why Zhou Yu wanted to see him, but since his brother-in-law had made an appointment, he naturally couldn't refuse.
After tidying up quickly, he went out and drove to the agreed-upon location.
Han Wen arrived at the agreed-upon hotel and found that Zhou Yu was already there. Moreover, the dishes had been ordered and the drinks had been served.
"Hanwen, over here." Zhou Yu waved. Then he picked up the liquor, opened it, and poured the wine.
Han Wen walked to the table, sat down, and looked at Zhou Yu: "Brother, what exactly did you find out about?"
"Let's not talk about business now, let's have a drink." Zhou Yu picked up his glass.
Han Wen nodded, clinked glasses with the other person, and downed his drink in one gulp.
The two of them each drank three glasses of wine in one go before Zhou Yu put down his glass, picked up the cigarette next to him, and started smoking.
He knew that Han Wen didn't smoke much, or even smoked at all. So, he didn't offer him a cigarette.
After taking a few deep drags on his cigarette, Zhou Yu looked up at Han Wen and asked, "Han Wen, I heard you have a new girlfriend?"
Han Wen's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed slightly. He sighed before nodding, "Brother, how did you know?"
"Don't doubt me. Although I'm the owner of the security company, I haven't sent anyone to investigate or follow you," Zhou Yu explained. "It was Xiao Meizi who let it slip to me. That's how I found out about it."
"I'm sorry, brother, I've let you down. I'm sorry, Sister Ning." Han Wen sighed.
"I'm not disappointed, and you have nothing to apologize for. If Ningning hadn't left, you wouldn't have gone to find other women."
"It's my parents who are sorry for you. We didn't help you enough. So, even if you marry another woman, I won't blame you." Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed as he smoked, "But, Han Wen, it's only been a year, less than a year."
You and Ningning loved each other so much, why did things suddenly change?
If Ningning comes back, especially suddenly, and finds out about your situation, what should you do?
"Brother, a year isn't a long time, but it's not short either. Yes, I didn't stick with it."
"But, have you given me any reason or hope to persevere, Uncle and Aunt?" Han Wen shook his head, smiled bitterly, and asked, "This year is over, it's the end of the year, but not only have I not heard anything about Sister Ning, but even you, as her older brother, are completely unaware."
I don't need Sister Ning to come back, nor do I need to stay with her. Even if I only know a tiny bit about her, I won't give up.
"Han Wen, I know. Actually, I just feel a little sorry." Zhou Yu took a deep drag on his cigarette: "Ningning is my sister, I know what kind of girl she is."
She deserves to be cherished and loved by any man. Unfortunately, you two are truly destined to be apart in this lifetime.
"I have no other choice, I can't wait any longer." Han Wen explained, "Brother, my mother is almost fifty, and she wants to hold her grandson."
Although she also liked Sister Ning very much, she didn't support me continuing to wait.
Even if I don't find a girlfriend now, other women will soon appear in my life.
Because my mother doesn't care who the other person is or what their status is; all she wants is her grandson.
"My mother is almost fifty years old, and she wants to get married and have grandchildren." Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, "But, in a family like ours, which girl would dare to marry me?"
Korean, you don't know, I'm already so old, but I still don't dare to date.
Because of my parents, I'm afraid I won't be able to give my partner happiness.
As time went by, I grew old. I, a perfectly healthy man, have lived a life that feels like a joke.
"Brother, if fate brings you to a girl you like, you should still make a move and pursue her."
"Otherwise, if you make a mistake, it will be a lifelong regret," Han Wen comforted him.
"Let's not talk about that, Hanwen, let's drink." Zhou Yu shook his head.
Both of them were troubled, and after burying their heads in their drinks, they couldn't stop.
The drinking didn't end until everyone was completely drunk and collapsed on the ground.
It was only after hotel staff found the business cards on the two men that they were able to contact Yinshan Security. Company personnel arrived and escorted the two men home.
After returning home, Han Wen lay down on the bed and mumbled Zhou Ning's name incoherently. He didn't even notice Bai Feifei walking in.
Bai Feifei was worried when she learned that Han Wen was drunk. So, she put down her work and drove straight home.
She never expected to see Han Wen so sad and desperate, and she never expected to hear another woman's name from his mouth.
Bai Feifei had never met Zhou Ning before, and had never even heard of the name.
However, she knew that this woman was Han Wen's woman, and that she had always lived in his heart.
At this moment, Bai Feifei felt somewhat uncomfortable, somewhat sad, and even somewhat desperate.
But now, she can no longer turn back, hide, or escape.
She had become Han Wen's woman and accepted the enormous gifts Han Qingyan had given her. She had grown accustomed to this privileged life and the boundless glory it brought.
There are gains and losses; she has truly gained a lot. However, it also seems she will lose a lot.
Fate can be so cruel, leaving you speechless and inexplicably sad.
"Han Wen, am I too late?" Bai Feifei sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out to touch Han Wen's cheek, her face full of regret and helplessness: "If only the woman in your heart were me. Unfortunately, it's not me."
