Chapter 308
Suzuki Saburo finally decides to trust Ms. Kobayashi’s judgment of Ms. Zhu,but then it becomes a question about Ms. Zhu’s wedding gift,since Ms. Zhu is looking forward to beef from Japan.
Yoshiko Hirata says with difficulty, “Ms. Zhu describes the highest grade of Japanese beef as having a frost-like pattern on it, that’s why it’s called Frost Beef.”
The name was beautiful, but then he wouldn’t be able to just kill a cow and send it to Ms. Zhu.
Suzuki Saburo had to send a message back to Japan in hopes of finding this magical beef, while on the other hand, he urged Hirata Yoshiko to get a little something out of Ms. Zhu as soon as possible.
Saburo Suzuki: “This is to prove that your friendship is sincere, isn’t it?”
Yoshiko Hirata liked Miss Zhu as a Chinese friend from the bottom of her heart. She had dated a few close friends back home, but none of them were as bold and interesting as Ms. Zhu. But she had to sacrifice her friendship with Miss Zhu for the sake of Mr. Suzuki, who was the most important.
So, the next day when they met, Hirata Yoshiko assured Zhu Yuyan that on the day of her wedding, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce would send her “Frost Beef” as a congratulatory gift, which would be enough for all the guests to eat, and that the Japanese Chamber of Commerce would make sure that Ms. Zhu would be supplied with beef whenever she wanted to eat it.
Hirata Yoshiko: “But Yanji, as a friend, you gave me nothing in return, making me lose face in front of Saburo, who accused me of not being your friend.”
Zhu Yuyan of course had to retort right away, she said, “Of course I will prove my friendship to you.”
Zhu Yuyan has lost some weight these days, just in time to try on wedding dresses, so she has lost just the right amount of weight, only Mr. Su is complaining, thinking she is too skinny, and asking the chef at home to stew bird’s nests for her to eat.
There’s always so much to do at a wedding, but there’s still not enough to do.
It wasn’t just about Er Zi.
Though thinking about Erzi inevitably reminded her that the Japanese were so cruel to their own people, so they must have been even more cruel to the Chinese.
The thought made her shiver uncontrollably.
Fear came over her even before she realized it.
Another thing that scared her was that she was finally beginning to feel the reality of Ms. Zhu and the others leaving.
Maybe it was because she had never been separated from them before, or maybe she wasn’t thinking too clearly.
In any case, it wasn’t until a few days had passed since Ms. Zhu and Zhang Ma had moved out that Zhu Yuyan finally got the real feeling that she might be separating from them.
Then came the profound fear and regret.
Incredible regret.
She began to regret that she had fallen in love with Ms. Su early on; if she hadn’t fallen in love with Ms. Su, then she wouldn’t have had to choose between the two, and could have gone with Ms. Zhu and Zhang Ma without having to be separated from them.
She found that she didn’t have that much affection for Yang Yuchan. She clearly liked Yang Yucan and truly treated her as her sister. Yang Yucan was as important in her heart as Ms. Zhu, Zhang Ma, and Mr. Su. But when she sent Yang Yuchan away, she was surprisingly not too sad and upset, until now she was about to be separated from Ms. Zhu and Zhang Ma, finally, she was the only one left here, and she became lonely.
It was only then that she remembered how she used to have so many family members, and how everyone seemed like they would never be separated, and now they were.
Did she only feel pain when she was left behind?
Was she so cold-blooded and heartless?
She had talked to Ms. Su many, many times over the course of these nights, and the words the two had talked about in the previous year didn’t add up to what they had talked about in these four or five days.
Maybe because the depth of the topic was different.
Before, they only talked about wind and flowers. Misfortunes were certainly there, but they were all of those around them, and regarding themselves, they hadn’t endured any disasters or pain.
Now, the pain she felt was deep and could not be discharged, because she could not convince herself, then she could only talk about it and tell Mr. Su, trying to hear something different from him.
And Mr. Su told her many things.
She said that she regretted treating Yang Yucan too poorly, not only sending her out to study abroad, but also in her treatment of Ma Tianbao, she was too superior and did not put herself in Yang Yucan’s shoes.
She treats her indifference as rationality and stabs Yang Yuchan with sharp words, and at the same time, she indirectly hurts Ma Tianbao.
In the end, it was Ms. Zhu who helped the Ma family.
If there was no Ms. Zhu, then even if she figured it out now, how was she going to make up for the harm she did to Ma Tianbao?
If only she could be more gentle with the world.
After saying these words, she buried her head in front of Mr. Su’s warm chest, smelling the nice odor of his shirt to quietly heal.
Mr. Su told her that he had regretted many times after leaving home.
He regretted that he shouldn’t have left home, and that he shouldn’t have cut himself off from his father and brothers.
Each time he regretted it, he regretted even more that he would regret it.
The hardships of life had worn down his will and pride, and he missed more than a high bed and soft pillows and a life of luxury, but status.
With the former cage driving birds, the action of the gentleman, suddenly fell into the lower class, food and clothing, have to deal with peddlers, living in the humble room of the chicken and dogs, up and down, bows and cages.
What was most unacceptable to him was that he knew more and more clearly that the family he had broken away from was a class he might not be able to climb even if he struggled for fifty years from now.
“Fifty years?” Zhu Er Miss was shocked, “Did your family turn out to be so awesome?”
Su Chunjun wrapped his arms around her and smiled, “My father was President Yuan’s inner circle, do you think he got there on his own?”
Without the help of his family, his father would have had to struggle for twenty to thirty years and then find a good marriage before he could stand on such a high ground.
But he had to know that his father had sat on that seat when he was in his twenties.
“Then do you still regret it now?” Zhu Er Miss asked softly.
“…… Not too much regret.” Su Chunjun looked at her and replied.
Mr. Su, who had long since peeled off his skin in the official world, had hinted to Mayor Feng about his family history, and he had certainly “hinted” to Secretary Zhao and VIP Jiang. There must be a record of it in his file.
It is true that he did not go home, but he had already pulled his family out to play the tiger’s hide.
Since he is in the officialdom, since his family is extraordinary, of course he has to show it to the people.
Although he is “hiding”, it is also convenient for others to “find out” well.
After he borrowed the power of the family, he no longer regretted leaving home.
Now make him suffer is that year regret for a long time this matter.
Every time he thinks about it, he tortures himself once in his heart.
Zhu Er Miss is not so pure and flawless, she has also used her youth and sharpness to fight for talent and arrogance, hurting the people closest to her.
Mr. Su is also not so light-hearted, not adore the rich and powerful, in the middle of life, he also once wanted to bend over for five buckets of rice.
It is a gamble to be able to confess your shortcomings to your lover. Because it is possible that your lover simply cannot accept the imperfect you and leave you.
Even if the other person is not perfect, maybe he wants a perfect lover more.
After confessing, Zhu Yuyan and Su Chunjun realized that they could both accept each other’s imperfections.
Needless to say, this proved that they were a match made in heaven.
From now on, they could talk about anything.
There was also no need to bother with maintaining an image anymore.
Sometimes it’s not a big deal for the image to crumble a little bit.
Today, when Mr. Su came back in the evening, he first went to the small living room to smoke and drink to write a report.
Zhu Er Miss rushed in and opened the windows and door to dissipate the smell, and asked the messenger to bring in the charcoal stove.
Ms. Zhu crossed her arms and said, “If you want to smoke, smoke into the charcoal stove, this will kill you fast.”
The listener and driver Chen didn’t dare to speak when they heard this.
Su Chunjun smiled bitterly and shook his head, snuffed out the cigarette and took out the ring he had made: “Take a look, do you like it?”
Zhu Er Miss took the ring and pushed Mr. Su upstairs to take a shower and change clothes.
She sits on a chair to talk to Ms. Su in the bathroom.
Referring to Yoshiko Hirata’s words, she said, “I decided to organize a road sale first, to settle the hearts of the Japanese.”
In the bathroom, Ms. Su’s voice came out muffled, “Good. What do you want me to do for you?”
Miss Zhu Er: “Just lend me a few people.”
She opens the ring box, and inside is a beautiful blue diamond, squared off with a large icing.
