Chapter 687 – In The End Reason And Conscience Defeat Selfishness
"I've postponed him for more than 12 years. I don't want to postpone him for the rest of his life. On the one hand, I want to let both elders see the place where Zhengsheng has struggled all this time. On the other hand, I also want to treat both elders eating, having a good conversation with both of you and discussing things in my heart."
"I'm really thinking about marriage." Xian Guiying said. "Everyone has selfish impulses and thoughts. Facing a good man like Wei Zhengsheng, if I am not tempted, if I am not touched, if I do not like him a little, then I will lie. But uncle and auntie, last night, some things had happened and all of a sudden I saw clearly what was in my heart. I felt that I was very scared, and just like that, I used the warmth given by someone to calm my feelings and wanted to use this to help me forget my past."
Wei Zhengsheng, who was sitting next to her, seemed to have understood her intentions. He didn't stop Xian Guiying and just put the glass of water on the table calmly.
"I would like to apologize to uncle and auntie sincerely. I am the one who postponed your son's marriage. We have seen and gone through many things together, but I am no longer at the age of pursuing true love. I know that if I marry him like this, it will be really unfair to him and to you too."
"I owe my apologies to you two elders." Xian Guiying said softly, "I will appreciate Zhengsheng's kindness for the rest of my life. Such an outstanding man will always give people warmth. He will definitely meet a beautiful girl but the girl, not me."
"Guiying…" Mrs. Wei's eyes were a little red as she looked at her. She looked very overwhelmed. "I really don't expect a child like you to say such words."
"Indeed, I am also surprised that I have the courage to say this. Logically, for a woman at my age, who is divorced and has a child, to find a man like Wei Zhengsheng to marry me and love me, this is not an easy thing. I should hold onto him tightly, instead of saying this to you two elders like this. But auntie, I am also a mother. I can understand your heartache and I also respect your son's wishes. "
"I really don't want to hurt anyone." Xian Guiying's voice was very soft.
"We have no intention of hating you. Although Zhengsheng has indeed talked about Qianqian with us and that you don't want to have children anymore, your uncle and I originally really don't agree. But the last time we saw you, we liked you very much. You are indeed a pretty good girl, although the previous incident had let you get divorced, but we really liked Qianqian."
Xian Guiying smiled slightly but said nothing.
"Guiying is really a good child." Mr. Wei suddenly said. "No matter what decision you make, we both respect you."
With that, Mr. Wei looked at Xian Zihao with a smile. "Mr. Xian, you really have a good little sister. She is neither coquettish nor playful. She is a child with true temperament."
Xian Zihao smiled politely before looking at Xian Guiying, "Have you decided?"
Xian Guiying looked up and nodded.
Then, Xian Zihao looked at Wei Zhengsheng, who was still silent. "Zhengsheng."
"No." He said. Wei Zhengsheng looked at Xian Guying in the blink of an eye. There was no anger or reproach in his eyes. He just looked at her seriously for a moment and then said, "Why did you suddenly think of that?"
Xian Guiying at first didn't want to say it, but she also didn't want to hide it from him.
"Whether he and I still have a chance to get back together or not, I can't ignore all the things about him. I have to tell myself over and over that my heart is dead and don't look back. I really don't want to look back, but looking at him like this right now, I just realized that I couldn't do it at all."
"You can go and help him. I won't disagree with that."
"But is that fair to you?"
Wei Zhengsheng first wanted to say something, but when he looked at her, his words got stuck in his throat.
It was true that when married to someone else, she should not be concerned about the other man, even if the man was her ex-husband. Things like this will bother any husband, and even if he said he didn't mind, his heart would still hurt.
Since Xian Guiying didn't even know what her path will be in the future, why should she waste Wei Zhengsheng's time, feelings, and everything else on her?
"Zhengsheng, stop looking at me alone. You have so many good opportunities around you, so many girls that are right for you. Everything about you is good. There will be other people who will appreciate you more than me and know how to reciprocate your love."
Wei Zhengsheng smiled bitterly and said in a clear voice, "I just feel very regretful."
"Guiying, they really like you." He suddenly looked at his parents and calmly said these.
Xian Guiying felt that she owed him more in her heart. She looked at the two Elders of the Wei Family but saw understanding and forgiveness in their eyes.
Xian Guiying always had a scale in her mind before she arrived at the hotel.
The one on the left was to ignore the man who was stuck in her heart for so many years and married Wei Zhengsheng. From then on, he was really in charge of supporting her family, while she was in charge of being beautiful and living a peaceful life. But the other side was stuck with the past that could not be forgotten.
She can't marry Wei Zhengsheng like this. That's unfair to him. She didn't want to give this grief to someone else, someone just as good as Wei Zhengsheng a sad marriage.
In the end, the one on the right defeated the left, and reason and conscience defeat selfishness.
Still, she knew that such an outcome undoubtedly caused great harm to Wei Zhengsheng. However, he did not express dissatisfaction towards her. He just told her that his parents loved her.
They were probably repulsive towards her initially, but after seeing her, they might really like her.
Xian Guiying never felt that she would be the kind of woman everyone liked. She never knew what nature she had, just as she never knew what Wei Zhengsheng liked about her.
"Zhengsheng, I don't know how I'm going to walk on my own path in the future. I don't want to postpone your future just because I can't determine it myself." Xian Guiying said.
Mr. Wei suddenly said, "You are both young people, no matter how you think or work, no matter how rational you are, compared to the people of our time, you are still a little impulsive. If there is no rush, then think about this matter deeply and tell us the result. Whatever the outcome, we accept it all."
Xian Guiying wanted to get a result today. She can't go like this. It could be seen that Mr. Wei didn't want to make the atmosphere too stiff, so she nodded her head in agreement.
After that, Xian Guiying left the hotel with Wei Zhengsheng.
He walked over to her and said softly, "Actually, I thought you wouldn't come today."
Xian Guiying froze, then turned her clear eyes to look at him.
"Didn't you say that you would have dinner with Secretary Dai and buy some clothes?" Wei Zhengsheng looked at her. "Why aren't you wearing new clothes?"
Xian Guiying let out a heavy sigh, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Zhengsheng, it hurts to know the truth, and even more to tell lies. I don't know how to say it, you are too good. I don't want to use any words to erase all the feelings between us. In addition to the feelings and emotions we had during this period, there are also twelve-odd years of friendship, a friendship like family."
"I know you won't lie to me." Wei Zhengsheng pursed his lips. "Guiying, you know that even though you're smart, you always talk and act openly and don't want to tell a single lie. Even when you were pregnant at the time, you just kept quiet. In fact, a woman like you is more modest and innocent than anyone else. You also express a sense of innocence that others cannot see. "
Xian Guiying bit her lip and said nothing.
"Last night." Wei Zhengsheng looked at her. "When I called you, my car was parked at the intersection opposite the Royale Nightclub. It was a red light at that time, so I saw you."
