Once That Strong And Cheerful Facade Was Shed, All That Was Left Was Silence And Stillness

Yu Haitao didn't say anything for a while. Then he chuckled. "Sure, I understand. Our Yu Family is not worthy of President Wei. Vice President An said that you have a good relationship with my daughter. It turned out to be just like that. Our Yu Family is trying to climb up the ladder. "

"Uncle Yu, please don't misunderstand."

"There is no misunderstanding, there is no misunderstanding. Since you have been honest, this is also a good thing. For certain reasons, my daughter hasn't felt the warmth of the family for a long time. This is what I owe her. I want her to get married as soon as possible because I want her to have a family of her own. I know that as a father, I haven't done my job well. I can only pray for a good family for her. Maybe I am too impatient." After saying that, Yu Haitao looked up with a bitter smile on his face.

"Uncle Yu, you are worrying too much. Although the two of us haven't known each other that long, but Yu Daiyu is a very smart and intelligent girl. She will not let herself be taken advantage of. She is happier than you imagined." Wei Zhengsheng said kindly.

Yu Haitao smiled bitterly. "I know my own daughter. She is too stubborn. There are many things she doesn't want to say, and I know that she is not happy."

Yu Haitao's gaze was always directed toward the door as if he hoped his daughter would come back to talk to him. However, he knew that this was just his wishful thinking. He didn't expect Yu Daiyu to be here tonight, so he brought Qiao Song and Yu Bolin here together. Perhaps that was why he felt uncomfortable after such a long time.

Wei Zhengsheng didn't say a word. He just looked at Yu Haitao and thought about the dress Yu Daiyu was wearing here. It wasn't too late, so she might take a cab home. If she was safe, then that would be fine. But if she happened to meet some hoodlums, then something bad might happen.

With this thought in mind, he quickly left Yu Haitao and walked out of the hall.

•••••

Yu Daiyu didn't actually know why she was unhappy, but she suddenly felt that the air in the hall was too heavy and the scent of the perfume people were wearing was too strong. She felt that even breathing was too difficult for her.

As she walked along the pedestrian road, the neon lights flickered around her. This was Boston's bustling downtown area. Yu Daiyu stopped and looked around. Suddenly, she realized that aside from the small apartment she had rented, she had nowhere else to stay.

Before this, she still had a dormitory. Living with her best friends made her forget her unhappy and miserable days. But after graduation, she was faced with endless loneliness.

Just now, when Qiao Song and Yu Bolin were standing next to Yu Haitao, Yu Daiyu felt that the three of them were like a happy family.

The thing she didn't want to admit the most was that Yu Bolin looked a bit like her father.

Yu Daiyu didn't want to know how long Yu Haitao had known Qiao Song. Was Yu Bolin just the son of Qiao Song and her ex-husband, or was he her father's blood?

Thinking about this, Yu Daiyu's heart ached. The things that happened just now echoed in her mind and Wei Zhengsheng's words... When he coldly said that she didn't need to interfere in his affairs, she felt like an unnecessary burden wherever she went.

"Yu Daiyu, you shouldn't let those negative feelings affect you. They don't belong to you." Yu Daiyu lowered her head and muttered to herself. Then she raised her head and looked at the three families who were playing in the amusement park across the street. She paused and walked to the gate of the park and bought a lollipop to eat.

In her memory, the taste of the lollipop she had enjoyed in her youth was a very luxurious taste, but now it had changed. The sweetness was too boring and couldn't be felt at all.

Yu Daiyu was wearing a beautiful dress and holding a big lollipop in her mouth. She looked very funny, but she didn't even notice. She sat on the grass outside the amusement park and looked up at the sky. After a while, she lowered her head to look at her toes.

Not far away, a silver-gray Bentley was parked on the side of the road. Wei Zhengsheng had driven all the way here with her. Yu Daiyu walked very slowly, and it took her about half an hour to get here. He saw that she was silent all the way and had a very sad expression on her face. But when she bought a lollipop, her mood immediately rose, and then he saw her sitting on the grass in a daze.

Yu Daiyu wrapped the lollipop and put it on the grass. Then she pulled out her cell phone to search for a number. She found her best friend's number from school and dialed it. However, the phone was turned off.

She then called another close friend, and finally, the call was answered. However, the other side was bustling with noise and excitement. "Hello, Yumi, where are you? Do you feel like going out? I want to take you out to dinner."

"I'm in Italy with my boyfriend! I'll be back next month. I'm having a lot of fun now! I'll look for you when I get back!"

With that, the other party hung up the phone.

Yu Daiyu looked at her phone speechlessly. This world was truly ironic. Everyone's world might be so lively, but once that strong and cheerful facade was shed, all that was left was silence and stillness.

The hustle and bustle on the other side was in stark contrast to the loneliness and coldness around her.

The world was always unfair, wasn't it?

Yu Daiyu looked at her cell phone for a long time before putting it back in her bag. The dress only covered her chest, and the hem only reached her knees. Although it wasn't too revealing, but at this time of night, the wind was very strong and cold, and she knew that she shouldn't be here for too long. Her appearance was too eye-catching and it would be dangerous, but she felt that her small apartment was too desolate and quiet, and she didn't want to go back.

Rubbing her arms which were covered in goosebumps due to the wind, Yu Daiyu sat outside the amusement park for a long time. Looking at a father who was late to take the children to the amusement park, but ended up returning home with his children, Yu Daiyu smiled.

"The amusement park is only open until ten o'clock at night."

When the gate of the amusement park was closed, the lively atmosphere immediately became quiet and desolate.

Yu Daiyu didn't like this kind of silence. She stood up and rubbed her arm. Just as she was about to call a cab, she saw Wei Zhengsheng standing three meters to her right.
