Chapter 122 Misunderstanding
Chapter 122 Misunderstanding
Upon seeing Hu Mei, Xu Hu and I couldn't help but pull her aside for a few more words.
But after she received a phone call and seemed to be busy, we didn't say anything more and arranged to meet again later.
Xu Hu went to help the director, and I dropped Hu Mei off at the orphanage gate. I didn't expect to see Song Yafei's car there.
It was parked right there, and I couldn't help but take a second look. I never expected that it would come back a few days later.
Hu Mei seemed to notice my odd behavior. She glanced at the parked car over there, then at me.
He asked with concern, "Xiao Tian, what's wrong?"
The matter between me and Song Yafei is complicated and difficult to explain; it's a very thorny issue, and I don't want him or her to know.
He shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing, I still have things to do. Go ahead and get busy, I'll keep in touch by phone."
Hu Mei could tell that I didn't want to talk much and that I really had something to do, so she turned and left, saying, "Call me if you need anything."
After Hu Mei left, Song Yafei got out of the car. Her face was sullen and her expression was rather unpleasant as she stared in the direction Hu Mei had left.
I didn't really want to talk to her and turned to go back to the orphanage, but she stopped me.
I didn't expect Song Yafei to come at me so aggressively, questioning me in a very unpleasant tone.
"Zhang Tian, who was that woman just now? I've never seen her around you before?"
She does know most of my friends, but those she wasn't very familiar with gradually lost contact after marriage.
I hadn't thought of Hu Mei for many years, so naturally I didn't mention her.
I wasn't going to talk to her about this right now. I said coldly, "Did you need something?"
My indifference made Song Yafei's expression even worse.
"Who was that woman just now? She's only been out for a few days and she's already hooking up with another woman. Zhang Tian, we're only at the branch office, we're not even divorced yet, and you're already in such a hurry?"
When he gets angry, he talks nonsense. I'm used to it, but it's still quite frustrating and I feel helpless.
Shake off her hand. Some people and some words, no matter how much you say, they may not believe you. Why waste your breath?
He shook her off and went straight back to the orphanage, but Song Yafei followed him.
She used to come to the orphanage often, but the children haven't seen her in a long time.
Seeing her suddenly made him very happy, and he quickly rushed over, chattering incessantly.
"Sister Yafei, why haven't you come to see us for so long? We all miss you so much."
"Sister Yafei, what delicious food did you bring us this time?"
Song Yafei was surrounded by children, and I was squeezed out.
Xu Hu and Lin Qiuran were helping Dean's mother prepare lunch, and I was happy to help out.
Seeing me approach and then noticing Song Yafei over there, Lin Qiuran looked displeased.
"Tian'er, why is she following you again? Why is she always clinging to you like a ghost!"
Xu Hu wasn't so averse to Song Yafei. "Isn't this great? Like husband and wife, they're in sync. When Brother Tian comes, President Song has to come too. The orphanage has an extra helper, isn't that wonderful!" Lin Qiuran scoffed, "Brother Hu, you really are a tiger! Can't you tell what kind of relationship those two have..."
Afraid that Lin Qiuran would let something slip, I quickly hummed twice to stop him.
The hospital director is right next to us; if she hears this, she'll probably worry again.
Fortunately, Lin Qiuran understands me, and seeing my reaction, she immediately shut up.
As they were leaving, it's unclear what Song Yafei said to the children, but soon Assistant Luo arrived with a large amount of food.
However, they are much better than our snacks, which are mostly pizzas and hamburgers, things that children rarely eat.
It's rare for her to treat herself to a better meal, so let's just consider it a good deed.
Seeing the children happy, everyone gladly accepted her help. However, this meant they had to keep her there for a meal.
Not long after lunch, the children prepared for their afternoon nap. Lin Qiuran and Xu Hu went off to do something, so the task fell to me and Song Yafei.
After they fell asleep, as I was leaving, Song Yafei wanted to say something, but I stopped her.
They led her to a garden with a path beside it. Although there was nothing particularly special about the scenery, the natural landscape was quite nice.
I walked along the path, with Song Yafei following behind me.
As I strolled along the path, enjoying the scenery under the umbrellas, I felt very relaxed. We rarely take such leisurely walks anymore.
Despite the impending divorce, they are able to get along so peacefully.
Song Yafei had gotten used to being busy all these years, and she seemed a little unaccustomed to this tranquility.
She suddenly grabbed my arm, her tone impatient, "Zhang Tian, what do you mean now? Do you really want to stay separated from me forever?"
I paused for a moment, then said, "Isn't it good like this? It's relaxing and carefree, I don't need to think about anything else, and I won't be bothered by anyone."
I stopped and stood under a tree. The beautiful leaves shaded my head. I picked a leaf and held it up to the sun, looking at its veins. It was beautiful.
Song Yafei walked around to face me, and asked, "What's better? What's so good about it?"
"Is it so you can easily go out and find women? Who was that woman just now?"
I absolutely hate her domineering and unreasonable attitude.
"Just because you have mistresses doesn't mean I will. Besides, you're keeping Yu Chengliang on the side, and I haven't said anything. What right do you have to tell me what to do?"
"I've said it many times, there's nothing between me and Yu Chengliang."
"If there's no reason, why do you keep her by your side?" Song Yafei stood there, speechless, and then she started to argue irrationally.
"And you, what do you see in that woman?"
"Don't think of me with your ugly thoughts, I'm not that shameless!" I shouted.
"Since you can't get Yu Chengliang out of your life, then don't bother with me."
After saying that, I went back to the orphanage alone.
Later, Song Yafei was never seen returning to the orphanage, so naturally, no one knew when she left.
For a long time afterward, Song Yafei seemed to disappear from my life.
But I know that, given her personality, she wouldn't give up so easily.
During that time, I had a very fulfilling time, and no one bothered me. I focused on my creative work.
Thanks to the help of Professor Xie and senior student Jiang Yi, the number of designs I received gradually increased.
Soon, I made a name for myself in the industry.
Sometimes I meet reporters who seem to remember me as the husband of the president of the Song Group, but when they mention that identity, I've already managed to get them to focus solely on my identity as a designer.
Occasionally, when the night is quiet and I look at the bustling streets, I will think of that familiar figure, and my heart will still ache.
