Night fell, and the lights began to twinkle.
Chu Fang and Ma Junjie sat by the roadside, enjoying barbecue and beer, having a great time.
The two chatted idly, talking about the past, the present, and the future.
"Does Yaten Yige need investment?" Chu Fang winked.
Ma Junjie uttered a single word indifferently: "Get lost!"
He had finally gotten rid of Chu Fang, and the company was his own. Now Chu Fang wanted to invest again, treating him like a beast of burden.
Chu Fang, are you even human?
"Like giving a pearl to a pig, you don't know a good heart when you see one." Chu Fang shook his head. "How did the world become like this? Is it a distortion of human nature, or a decline of morality?"
Ma Junjie just rolled his eyes at him.
"Still single?" Chu Fang didn't dwell on the previous topic and changed the subject. "I'm saying, you're already in your thirties and still a bachelor, don't you think that's appropriate?"
"What do your parents say?"
Ma Junjie took a sip of his beer: "Why are you so concerned about me? Want to introduce me to a girlfriend?"
"As long as you're willing, no problem." Chu Fang nodded. "What kind of girl do you like?"
"Beautiful, gentle, from a respectable family, knowledgeable, and better than Zhong Tingyue in every way."
Chu Fang stared at him: "Do you think I'm a wishing well?"
He had yet to see a girl more outstanding than his own wife. There were those who surpassed Zhong Tingyue in certain aspects, but overall, Zhong Tingyue was still the best.
"Maybe there is?" Ma Junjie replied.
"Impossible!"
"What if there is?"
"If there was such a girl..." Chu Fang subconsciously retorted, then suddenly reacted, scrutinizing Ma Junjie with his eyes and muttering, "Something's not right, something's not right. You never used to say things like this before, why are you arguing with me about this now?"
"Are you trying to mess with me?"
Ma Junjie just shrugged his shoulders in response.
Just then, a gentle voice rang in Chu Fang's ear, like a spring breeze brushing across a lake, creating ripples of tenderness.
"Junjie."
Chu Fang followed the voice and saw a woman of about thirty, wearing a light blue dress, the hem of the dress gently swaying with her movements, and a head of smooth, long hair falling like black silk on her shoulders, the ends slightly curled.
"Why are you drinking so much?" The woman in the dress frowned slightly.
"I met an old friend, got a little carried away." Ma Junjie smiled slightly.
"Why do I feel so uncomfortable that he found a girlfriend?"
"No, no, no, as a friend, I should feel happy, joyful, and delighted for Ma Junjie."
Chu Fang gritted his teeth: "I'm really happy!"
He was really upset!
Ma Junjie had carelessly gotten behind the wheel of a 'Land Rover', which good friend could accept that?
What's more, after drinking, the girl personally came to take Ma Junjie home, which made him even more upset.
Chu Fang sent a message to Zhong Tingyue.
[Lonely Solo Player: Mrs. Zhong, I'm drunk, can you come pick me up?]
[Wangshu: No, get lost.]
Chu Fang clutched his chest, feeling a chill.
Even more upset...
...
Ma Junjie sat in the passenger seat with an irrepressible smile on his face. Zhang Jingyi asked, "Is that Chu Fang, the boss of your company you always talk about?"
"Yeah." Ma Junjie nodded, "But now, he's not my boss. I've already acquired Yaten Yige."
"He's not that handsome, how did he win that girl's heart?" Zhang Jingyi recalled Chu Fang's appearance.
Ma Junjie had told her about his previous relationship.
"Um... Jingyi, you don't actually need to consider my feelings, I'm not that petty." Ma Junjie smiled, "Although I don't want to admit it, Chu Fang is indeed quite handsome."
He knew himself well.
"Moreover, Chu Fang is really amazing, not just in making money, but in all aspects."
Zhang Jingyi looked at her boyfriend: "No, I don't agree. In my heart, he can't compare to you."
Ma Junjie met her pure eyes. Zhang Jingyi asked, "In your heart, am I more outstanding than that girl Zhong Tingyue?"
"You're twice as outstanding as her."
"Why not a hundred times? I'm angry."
"A hundred times is fake, but twice is sincere."
...
Time flows like water, slowly passing by.
Fifteen years later.
Fifteen years had passed, and it seemed that the world hadn't changed at all, or rather, there was nothing new under the sun, and there wouldn't be any major changes.
The magic city was still that magic city, still an international metropolis, still the most prosperous city in the country, still a place with high housing prices that countless people longed to settle in.
On this day, the sun rose, illuminating the earth.
Chu Jin stretched lazily in the sunlight: "Phew... another ragged day."
She then went downstairs and saw her grandmother and mother tearing at each other and fighting in the living room.
"You bad woman, if I had known you were so bad, I shouldn't have agreed to let you into my house."
"So I came in, what can you do about it?" Zhong Tingyue put her hands on her hips, "Are you very angry? If you're very angry, then say I did the right thing!"
Hearing this, Chu's mother pouted and cried.
Chu Jin sighed.
As she grew older, people seemed to become more and more childish. Her own mother was so mature and steady, but now she was saying such childish things, and her grandmother was constantly crying.
She pulled out a tissue and wiped the tears from her grandmother's eyes.
Chu's mother stomped her feet: "I'm not eating breakfast."
"Then don't eat it, it's Chu Fang who's worried if you get sick, not me." Zhong Tingyue curled her lips, "You definitely shouldn't eat it!"
"No, I insist on eating it!" These words aroused Chu's mother's rebellious mentality.
