Chapter 16:
It has been a long time since I heard any news about Li Yuan and Jin Ci.
Because I was sent to Los Angeles, I started practicing strategic management from taking over the overseas branch of the company.
Only by going out and experiencing can one truly qualify to move up.
In an unfamiliar environment, I worked hard and only slept four or five hours a day.
Naturally, I had no time to care about Li Yuan's affairs.
It was six years later when I saw Li Yuan again.
I met a familiar figure at a friend's photography exhibition - she had cut her shoulder-length hair neatly, wearing a black tank top with loose suit pants, looking very capable.
She walked straight up to me and greeted me openly, "Li Yu, long time no see." I smiled and said, "Long time no see, how have you been lately?" Li Yuan shrugged and self-deprecatingly pouted, "Divorced, remarried, divorced again, now wandering around the world.
I run a social media account related to illustration without revealing my face, and if I'm lucky, I can get some freelance projects.
I go hungry for a meal, full for a meal, and when I have no money, I serve dishes and draw for people on the side of the road." I involuntarily brought up the old acquaintance, "What about you and Jin Ci..." Li Yuan didn't care, "That's all in the past.
He should hate me, just like his mother abandoned him." "I remember you two had a child, right?" I asked in surprise.
"He cheated, but I couldn't gather evidence, and the child was eventually awarded to him." Li Yuan's way of speaking was still as attractive as ever.
After divorcing Jin Ci, she didn't continue to entangle, but played the role of a gentle and considerate old lover, using parenting time to provoke Jin Ci.
Jin Ci's heart once again leaned towards Li Yuan, hoping to rekindle their old love.
The person he cheated with felt that she had been played, so she decided to confront Jin Ci head-on.
Jin Ci had nothing to do, he just couldn't rise again.
When she said this, Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh, her eyes shimmering with excitement, "He only has one child in his life, Jin Yuan, he will definitely not mistreat his only son." She emphasized the word "only".
Witnessing Jin Ci's fate, Li Yuan, having avenged her grievances, traveled abroad and resumed the life plan she personally gave up in the past.
She met a blond, blue-eyed man during her part-time job and fell in love again.
The two got married in Las Vegas and divorced six months later.
Because she discovered that the other party had a drug addiction.
This time, she finally cut her losses in time and didn't let herself fall into an irreparable abyss because of illusory love.
"I know, my parents don't want to see me again in their lifetime, I caused all this with my own hands.
I'm grateful that at least you're with them...
Thank you." "Your career is impressive." I smiled and nodded, bidding her farewell.
She was just someone I knew, a few greetings were enough.
Li Yuan responded with a smile.
Leaving the exhibition hall, the weather outside was sunny and the sunlight was just right.
A red-tailed hawk hovered between the high-rise buildings, overlooking the city.
Suddenly, I remembered my mother talking about the origin of the name Li Yuan, which can be the noble and elegant iris flower, or the soaring eagle in the sky.
The kite soars in the vast sky, while the humble ants conquer the formidable wrasse.
