Chapter 412 Enjoying Pleasure
Wen Xi and Liu Wangxue used to be the same. They both wanted to have a small family of their own, a loving partner, and a cute child.
After what happened with Mu Jingsheng, Liu Wangxue no longer had this idea, but after meeting Xu Qingsong, she felt that she could give it another try.
But Wenxi's thoughts have never changed, at least until the last time she came here, otherwise she wouldn't have noticed that Du Yunkai had a crush on her but was indifferent. Because she had seen a lot of wealthy young men who wandered around flowers, Du Yunkai's first feeling for her was the same. She felt that even if the two of them got together, there would be no result - the result of the family she wanted.
Liu Wangxue laughed and thought, and was very curious. Did Wenxi encounter something in country Y that caused her mentality to change so much.
The two fell together laughing. After they recovered, Liu Wangxue turned over, lying on the bed, turned to look at Wen Xi, and asked this question.
Wenxi changed to lying on his side and said, "I probably talked too much with Zerlina. Some things suddenly became clear to me after hearing what she said, especially on gender relations and family concepts."
She thought for a while and then said: "Look, you want to have your own little family because your uncle and aunt have always loved each other and also loved you very much. They gave you a good example. You just want to pass on this kind of love. But as for me, you know the bad things about my family. I have never experienced this kind of love, so I fantasize about forming a small family with the person I love. I will definitely do it. I want to run the business with all my strength. I want my children to have what I don’t have, and I want to have more wealth. I kind of want to support myself through my children..."
I talked about it in Wenxi University. A boyfriend, when he graduated, he already wanted to talk about marriage. However, the husband's parents looked down upon her family and background, and since she wanted to start a business at that time, the old couple were even more worried that she was with their son just for money, and finally forced them to break up.
After Wenxi Studio started, we also met a man. They both liked each other quite a lot, but that man was a celibate and a DINK, and in the end the relationship ended before it was officially established.
After that, she was busy with her career, and she saw the diversity of men in the process of her career, so she felt less anxious.
Now because of Liu Wangxue’s change, and because she went to country Y to meet Zerlina, her previously vague consciousness became clear - it turned out that she was just trapped by her childhood and teenage self. , the longing for a normal and loving family blinded her. After figuring this out, "home" is no longer the only way to happiness for her.
While Wenxi was in Country Y, he often sat and chatted with Zerlina on his days off.
Zerlina has been translating Joshua’s family’s research notes on ancient gardens of Country Z. When she encounters something she doesn’t understand, she saves it together and takes it to Li Yu to discuss it on her days off. The apartment Li Yu lived in was also arranged by Wenxi and was right across the street, so Zerlina went to find Wenxi after discussing with him.
The two of them hit it off very well when they first met, and they were similar in age. It was easy to get into deep conversation while drinking and chatting. Wen Xicai discovered that Zerlina's experience was similar to hers. Both had a patriarchal and domestically violent father.
But the difference is that Zerlina’s mother was the awakened one. When Zerlina was ten years old, she mustered up the courage to seek help, successfully divorced and took Zerlina away. At the same time, she abandoned her younger son who was siding with the domestic abuser, and then moved to In the current city, Zerlina was raised by herself.
Zerlina said: "After settling here, my mother also met the right person, but she never entered into marriage. She said that marriage is a shackles, what she wants is love, and marriage will wear away Losing love leaves you with nothing but chicken feathers, and turns people into beasts.”
Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is extremely difficult for a woman to survive in a strange city with a child. But Zerlina's mother never thought so. She felt that she had regained the courage to marry from the south to the north. She always kept the saying "God only saves those who save themselves" on her lips, and she always used her limited abilities to create small surprises in the lives of the mother and daughter.
It was also her mother’s suggestion that Zerlina learn Chinese.
My mother met a teacher from the Confucius Institute in the restaurant where she worked and got an enrollment leaflet. She didn't know this country at all, but she was attracted by the description on the flyer, and she vaguely felt that if Zerlina could seize this opportunity, her future life might undergo unexpected changes. She didn't know it at the time, but it was her decision that would hit Zerlina's future with a huge piece of pie. When Zerlina received a scholarship from the Confucius Institute to study at Peking University in Country Z, a very dramatic thing happened.
Their family has a distant relative in the south. This relative is nearly a hundred years old and is alone. Before his death, he asked a lawyer to find the heir. When the information of several candidates was placed on the old man's desk, he took a fancy to Zerlina at a glance.
This old man had a relationship in country Z when he was young. At that time, he was forced to return to the country due to the current situation and lost contact. He came back to look for it many years later, but the city had been re-planned and rebuilt, and there were not many people who originally lived there, so he didn't get any news. I went back and forth several times and still found nothing.
After Zerlina was found by the lawyer, she looked at the requirements in the will, which asked her to find this person or her descendants while studying abroad.
The old man remained unmarried all his life, and it was this matter that he could not let go of before his death. Even though I know there is little hope, I still want to try again. Regardless of whether Zerlina can find it or not, she will inherit his manor and all other properties.
After Zerlina's mother learned about it, she was not as ecstatic as if she had suddenly become rich. She just changed the words she often talked about to "choice determines destiny."
After Porcelain’s spring and summer show, Wenxi and Li Yu were invited to the manor, where they met Zerlina’s mother.
Wenxi said: "I want to use a very inappropriate adjective. She is really an old lady in her prime. Every wrinkle on her face, every white hair on her temples, They are all so beautiful and moving.”
After talking about family, naturally we talked about love.
Wenxi is quite envious of the relationship between her and Joshua.
Zerlina shook her head after hearing this and asked Wenxi: "You think Joshua likes me very much, then do you know why he likes me?"
Wenxi knew that there must be many reasons for this, but among them There were some things she couldn't say, so she replied: "The main reason must be that you are excellent. Who doesn't like excellent girls?"
"No," Zerlina shook her head again. Her eyes seemed to have seen through Wenxi's thoughts, but she didn't care. She just wanted to have a chat. "The real answer is very cliché. Considering Joshua's family background and wealth, There are so many outstanding girls around him, and I, as you know, are not in the same class as him.”
Zerlina added some red wine to herself: "The reason why he fell in love with me is just because I am different from the girls he dated before. This love is actually maintained by freshness. You You know, I actually had feelings for him before he went to country Z, and his novelty towards me was gradually declining. I was ready to break up at any time. , but because of the gardening thing, his liking for me seems to have risen to a new level."
Zerlina took a sip of red wine and continued: "So you see, 'like' or 'love'. , this kind of emotion is not pure, and its increase or decrease will not be without reason, and it will always be affected by factors of one kind or another.”
After Wenxi listened, he felt admiration for Zerlina and felt that she was really sober!
Zerlina smiled and said: "Sober because I love myself more, and I know exactly what I want. As my mother once said, if what you want is love, Then go fall in love, don’t put any worldly shackles on love, and enjoy the joy in love. It doesn’t matter whether there is a result or not, what matters is whether the process satisfies you.”
