Chapter 1624 - 1318: For Her

Chapter 1624: Chapter 1318: For Her

That day, they sat in the cafe, but the atmosphere was no longer as casual and natural as before.

At that time, Xu Hua was thirty-four, but still very young and beautiful, with no trace of time left on her face.

And he, twenty-two.

He recalled first meeting her years ago; he was thirteen, Xu Hua twenty-five.

Xu Hua was very young, while he was just a little kid!

Xu Hua said, "Yu Dou, you’ve grown into an adult!"

When he left T City at eighteen, perhaps she still saw him as a little boy. Now, he had indeed become an adult.

An adult capable and confident enough to protect her.

But he knew that she wouldn’t give him the chance; she was a woman with a husband and deeply loved him.

Xu Hua questioned, "You’ve graduated, right? Are you planning to return to T City to work or do you have other plans?"

He lowered his eyes and said softly, "I will return to T City, but I don’t have long-term plans yet. Currently, I plan to find a decent company to hone my skills first!"

Xu Hua nodded, "That’s good too, and I believe with your abilities, regardless of the job you take, you’ll certainly perform very well!"

He looked at her and asked, "You believe in me?"

Xu Hua smiled, "Of course I believe in you because you’ve never disappointed me!"

Had she never been disappointed? If she knew that her father’s company went bankrupt so quickly because he secretly sabotaged it, how would she feel?

Taking a breath, he said, "Let’s not talk about me, tell me about you, how... have you been lately?"

Xu Hua was stunned for a moment then followed up, "Not bad, um, quite good!"

"But I’ve recently seen some news, seems like your family is having some issues... Sorry, I’m just concerned and wanted to ask!"

Xu Hua smiled faintly, "It’s okay, I know... Well, some things did happen, but they will pass. I’m not a twenty-year-old girl anymore, being in my thirties, I can handle it!"

Yu Dou nodded, "That’s good!"

After the coffee that day, Yu Dou originally intended to invite Xu Hua for dinner, but Xu Hua refused.

She said her daughter was waiting for her at home, and she promised her daughter to go back to have dinner together!

He wanted to take Xu Hua home, but Xu Hua refused.

He watched Xu Hua leave, watched her car fade in the distance, knowing that he and Xu Hua were destined never to be together.

Or perhaps they were never meant to be.

After that day, he indeed entered a pretty decent company in T City, and within half a year, had already reached a managerial position.

During the six months, he hadn’t sought Xu Hua, nor had Xu Hua sought him.

Yet he kept a constant watch on Xu Hua, and by then he had made a name for himself in the T City business scene; he believed Xu Hua had heard about him.

Time flew, a year went by, they each lived stable lives, and his business talent shone even more brightly.

During this period, Li Guirong repeatedly proposed he enter the Shi Family, but he only said the time wasn’t right.

Li Guirong asked him when the right time would be, he didn’t answer.

When would the right time be? He actually didn’t know.

Maybe, for a lifetime, the time would never be right!

Winter arrived quickly; that year winter, T City had a heavy snow, snow covering the whole city instantly white.

He walked alone on the street, watching the snowflakes fall one by one, as a couple walked towards him.

They walked against the cold wind, shivering, but hand in hand, talking and laughing, it was a very warm scene.

Suddenly he longed for love, he wanted someone who could warm him.

But he also knew, if he couldn’t let go of Xu Hua, he’d never be able to love another woman!

Before the Spring Festival that year, he resigned from the company and went alone to Australia.

He wanted to exile himself, first the body, then the soul!

After leaving, he tried not to think about Xu Hua, tried to live his own life.

In Australia, he took up a leisurely job, dedicating a lot of time to travel and adventure.

He visited many places.

So much so that he didn’t know that Xu Hua had been set up for an accident by Li Guirong, forced to death by her.

It was an accident when he ran into a former colleague from the same company during his travels.

During a casual chat with the colleague, the colleague lamented, "In the half year you’ve been gone, T City’s business sector certainly has changed a lot. But what moved me most was the Xu Family. When Old Sir Xu was around, the Xu Family was so glorious, but who would have thought that three years after he passed, the Xu Family would go bankrupt? And as you know, after Xu Family’s bankruptcy, most of the assets were taken over by his son-in-law Shi Yuanbo, and taken over as they were, after all, he was Old Sir Xu’s own son-in-law, outsiders just talked and let it go. But just three months ago, Old Sir Xu’s eldest daughter, Shi Yuanbo’s wife, suddenly died in an accident..."
