Chapter 248 I Wish You a Happy New Year
Old Master Lin suddenly felt a little dizzy and couldn’t help but stagger. He was getting old and his health wasn’t as good as before. Furthermore, he had suffered from a heart attack two years ago. He didn’t expect to suffer this ordeal today. This kind of uncomfortable feeling was somewhat hard to bear.
On the main street downtown.
When they left the Lin family, it was already past three in the morning. In a few more hours, the sky would brighten. At this time, even those who liked to stay up late had already fallen asleep. Therefore, the main street appeared even more deserted, and the entire city was silent.
As she sat in the passenger seat, Su Yan’s expression returned to normal. She went to the Lin family’s home to vent her anger, and she finally calmed down. She looked at Wei Zhou, who was driving, and asked, “When I went to the Lin family to cause trouble, why didn’t you stop me?”.
Wei Zhou didn’t even look at her and said, “You went to vent your anger, so why would I stop you?”
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. She was so speechless that she couldn’t say anything. It seemed that the man was right. She turned her head to look at the night view outside the car. Feng City had changed a lot in the past few years. Many places that she was familiar with had been torn down and rebuilt, and the entire city had changed completely. It gave her a feeling of being both familiar and unfamiliar.
An hour later, the car stopped steadily at the building where Su Yan lived. Su Yan slowly opened her eyes from her daze. She was really too sleepy, so she took a nap just now.
Seeing that she was home, Su Yan unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door. She glanced at Wei Zhou again and reluctantly said, “Thank you!”
It was already four o’clock in the morning. She hadn’t slept so late in a long time. She kept yawning. When she realized that the man was really looking at her without blinking, Su Yan quickly held back. Her fair and slender hands gently wiped away the tears that had flowed out of her tired eyes.
Su Yan took a deep breath and looked at the man. “Wei Zhou, although you did well today, I feel that it’s better for us to be strangers.” During the three years of marriage, she had too many expectations for this man. She always believed that as long as she worked hard and could endure it, this man would change his mind. However, the truth was cruel. The man had allowed her to rebuild her confidence again and again, then he destroyed all her confidence and hope again and again. The funny thing was that after the divorce, the man had finally repented. However, she didn’t want to go back at all. Perhaps it was because she had accumulated too much sadness and disappointment before.
Wei Zhou stared at her for a long time. He reached out and took out a small box with exquisite packaging from the car. He walked in front of Su Yan and handed the box to her. “Su Yan, I wish you a happy new year!” Although he wasn’t the first person to wish Su Yan a happy new year this year, he wanted to be the first person to give Su Yan a gift and personally say happy new year to her.
However, looking at the gift that was handed over, Su Yan still had her hands in her pockets. She had no intention of accepting it at all. She said expressionlessly, “I wish you a happy new year too.”
Even though they were strangers, she couldn’t be mean since he was so politely wishing her a happy new year. After all, everyone wanted to be happier during the New Year.
After saying that, Su Yan looked at the man again. She curled her lips and turned around to walk towards the unit’s door. Wei Zhou chased after her, then handed the box to her again. “Don’t misunderstand. There’s nothing valuable inside. Even though we’re strangers, it’s not a big deal for someone to give you a gift, right?”
Su Yan took a deep breath again. “It’s not a big deal, but I have the right not to accept it.”
Before she could finish her sentence, she tightened her coat and stepped into the unit’s door with her long boots, leaving him standing at the door while still holding the box in his hand.
Wei Zhou watched Su Yan walk into the building. This time, he didn’t stop Su Yan. He understood Su Yan’s temper. If she said she wouldn’t accept it, she would definitely not accept it. If he continued to pester her because of this, it would only make Su Yan even more annoyed with him.
On the stair landing, before Su Yan went up to the second floor, she glanced at the unit door from the corner of her eye and found that Wei Zhou was still standing at the door. The dim neon light reflected on his face, and his pair of pitch-black eyes were still like two black holes that looked mysterious and deep, just like when she met Wei Zhou for the first time in her life. She was stunned for a moment.
She retracted her gaze and walked up the stairs. This house was bought by her parents with their lifetime savings. It was now an old building. Although she had settled down in Jiangdu, she had never thought of selling this house. Whenever she missed her parents, she would come and stay for a period of time.
Thinking of Wei Zhou’s beautiful eyes and his thick eyelashes, Su Yan felt her heart flutter. She had to admit that she seemed to be moved again.
