7th Story 17
Li Yueran was a little surprised when she saw that a gentle man standing in the store, but not so surprised. She knows that Hong Kong is actually not very big, and there will always be a day when we meet again. I just didn’t expect this day to come so soon.
“Qing Han!” The man called softly.
“Mr. Xu, hello.” Li Yueran smiled, “Sit here. Xiaolu, two cups of coffee.”
“You used to only drink Longjing.” Xu Wenxuan looked at the steaming coffee in front of him, feeling a little complicated. It seems that she thought well, in order to catch up with his footsteps, Qing Han changed a lot. From only drinking Longjing to drinking coffee, from a traditional woman with three obediences and four virtues to a patriotic businessman, so many years have passed, and she is still alone. How can he bear to let down such a deep friendship! When he was in Beiping, Xu Wenxuan heard that Li Yueran, a famous patriotic businesswoman in Hong Kong, she was actually his original partner, Liu Qinghan. He didn’t believe it at the time, but when he arrived in Hong Kong, he inquired carefully, and it was indeed her. Although everyone said that she made this change because of the hatred of the country and the family, after all, the Liu family died at the hands of the cruel and vicious Japanese. But Xu Wenxuan didn’t believe it, maybe part of the reason was this, but Xu Wenxuan felt that more of the reason was because of him. Xu Wenxuan was very happy and relieved that Liu Qinghan finally realized that she was no longer just standing there, waiting for the day when she would change her mind. She began to learn to change and learn to improve, and now she is fully qualified to stand by his side. Liu Qinghan, who knows how to make progress, is what he wants to see. They have a common belief, a common dream, and no longer have a common language as before. This is the best way to get along. Xu Wenxuan remembered that before coming to Hong Kong, his elderly parents held his hand and told him to take Qing Han back, and he just smiled confidently. He believes that no matter when, as long as he speaks, Qing Han will definitely agree.
If Li Yueran could guess Xu Wenxuan’s inner thoughts, she would have picked up that cup of steaming coffee and poured it directly on Xu Wenxuan’s face without hesitation, and scolded him for being so f****** shameless. But Li Yueran didn’t know this. When she heard Xu Wenxuan’s words, she only smiled slightly, and didn’t want to explain to him. In fact, she didn’t want to waste her good tea for someone who didn’t appreciate it, and there happened to be a coffee shop next door.
“Qing Han, I’m sorry about the matter of the Liu family, my condolences!” Xu Wenxuan continued.
“It’s all in the past, besides, it has nothing to do with you.” Li Yueran smiled.
“How long is Mr. Xu going to stay in Hong Kong this time?”
“Qinghan, you can call me by my name directly, I won’t be angry.” Xu Wenxuan looked at Li Yueran and said.
“Mr. Xu, have you misunderstood something? With our relationship, I think it’s better for us to keep our distance. I’m afraid of causing some misunderstanding.” Li Yueran frowned and said. Call him by his first name? She felt dirty for her mouth.
“Qinghan, there is no misunderstanding. I am divorced and I am single now. Qinghan, I have thought about it. I am very happy and relieved that you have changed so much and grown so much for me. Qinghan, If you had had these realizations earlier, there would not have been so many years of delay between you and me. Now, you have grown into an independent new-age woman. I am very happy that you have the same beliefs and ideas as me, With the same attitude towards life, we will be each other’s best spiritual partner, Qinghan…” Xu Wenxuan said happily.
But Li Yueran became more and more ashamed as she listened, and hurriedly stopped him: “Wait a minute, what do you mean? Why don’t I understand!”
Xu Wenxuan looked at Li Yueran with a smile, with a tolerant smile on his face, “Qinghan, you and I are not young anymore, there is no need to explain many things too clearly, as long as we know each other. I understand your thoughts. In the past I’m sorry for you, but if you wake up early, we don’t have to waste so many years. Fortunately, it is finally clear now, and you can be regarded as keeping the clouds open to see the moon. Don’t worry, as long as you keep making positive progress in the future, If you can keep up with me, I will never abandon you again. I have also thought about it. At this time of national crisis, our wedding does not need to be too extravagant and wasteful. Hong Kong is still safe, and you can live here. I give speeches everywhere, I don’t have a fixed place to live, I want to bring my parents to Hong Kong, and I can rest assured that I have you to take care of them for me. From now on, let’s move towards the same goal together!” After Xu Wenxuan finished speaking, he look expectantly at Li Yueran, Li Yueran stared at Xu Wenxuan with her wide eyes in surprise.
She finally understood what Xu Wenxuan meant. She dare say that this person is suffering from paranoia, right? In order to attract his attention, she want to reunite with him! I’m bother! Li Yueran stood up, “Mr. Xu, I think you have misunderstood. I, Liu Qinghan, from the beginning to the end, did not intend to reunite with you, to become your spiritual partner, or to continue to pursue your love. I didn’t intend to use my hard-earned money to support your parents and you! You think too much. The reason why I am here today has nothing to do with you! My beliefs and my efforts are also acceptable. Don’t be so defiled by you. My parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces all died at the hands of the Japanese. I did all this to save thousands of compatriots who had the same experience as me. I am not as vulgar as you think. Reunite with you? Do ou deserve it too!”
Xu Wenxuan was dumbfounded, “Qinghan, you, you, you…”
“What are you!” Liu Yuncong rushed over suddenly, “Mr. Xu, my aunt has nothing to do with you for half a cent. No, stop talking nonsense here. It’s true that you are a famous patriotic poet, but my aunt is not an unknown person. Your coming to Hong Kong is to give a speech this time is sponsored by my aunt! Don’t go too far.”
Standing behind Liu Yuncong, Li Yueran smiled coldly, “Mr. Xu, there is a very good saying in He Li’s book, one is separated and the other is safe. This sentence is also what I want to say to you. I hope you don’t bother me in the future, since the day we left, there has been no relationship between us. Mr. Xu, I hope you will respect yourself!”
Xu Wenxuan’s face was pale, but he still insisted on it, or he still refused to believe it, “Qinghan, I know that I was wrong at the beginning, and you should blame me in your heart. But, why did you say that insincerely! If you are not still have me in your heart, why did you stay in Hong Kong, and whyyou are still alone?”
Li Yueran laughed as if hearing some joke, “Xu Wenxuan, can you stop being so narcissistic? For you? You don’t even look at it, what do you have that deserves my nostalgia? Your literary talent? Your character? What a joke!”
Liu Yuncong also laughed, “It has nothing to do with you whether my aunt marries or not, you are too lenient! To tell you the truth, my aunt already has a fiance, she is a foreigner, my aunt is just waiting for him, it has nothing to do with you. Stop being sentimental!”
Xu Wenxuan looked at Li Yueran in disbelief, “Qinghan, Is what he said true? Why didn’t I know?”
Li Yueran gave Liu Yuncong a sneaky look, when did she have a fiancé? Could it be that Yun Cong was talking about Charles?
Liu Yun said in a low voice: “Oh, aunt, let’s get rid of the person first!”
Li Yueran quietly pinched Liu Yuncong, and Liu Yuncong gasped in pain, but kept calm on his face.
Only then did Li Yueran let go, “Don’t you understand what it means to be separated from each other? Why do I need you to know if I have a fiancé? Who are you to me? Mr. Xu, I advise you to leave quickly, I really have nothing to do with you, and I don’t have any inappropriate thoughts about you, there are a lot of girls and students who admire you, go find your true love there.”
Some of them fainted willing to give everything for love. However, don’t count on her for such a thing. She wouldn’t be that stupid! Xu Wenxuan left in disgrace as if he had suffered a major blow.
Liu Yuncong breathed a sigh of relief, “Auntie, he won’t talk nonsense outside, right? I don’t think he is a big-hearted man? When he fell out with his predecessors, there was a lot of verbal wars. He looks like a woman, without any masculinity!”
Li Yueran said disdainfully, “Am I afraid of him? Now it’s not that his family is the only one, it’s a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
In fact, Liu Yuncong guessed right. Xu Wenxuan is really not a broad-minded person. After returning from Hong Kong, he immediately published an article in the newspaper. Of course, Li Yueran did not guess wrong, and soon someone published an article in the newspaper to refute it. Liu Yuncong was not a cheap lamp, so he entrusted many people to help him, besieged Xu Wenxuan in the newspapers, brought out his past love history, scolded him head and face, and only said that he was a hypocrite with a good face. In fact, he is a male chauvinist with feudal ideology, and he is narrow and small minded. Because of the reasons and evidence, many people stood on this side. For a while, Xu Wenxuan felt as if he was surrounded by all sides, so he had to remain silent. After a period of time, several incidents of Japanese riots occurred in the country, which overshadowed the limelight. It was only then that Xu Wenxuan took the opportunity to come out and wrote a few articles criticizing the current malpractice, and finally exposed the matter.
Liu Yuncong was very busy, every time he read the newspaper, he would laughed or scolded, Li Yueran just glanced at it casually and then forgot it. The world is so big, why bother with a fool! As for Xu Wenxuan, she could tell that the pattern was there, so it was not worth haggling with him. It’s just that the days without Cheng Nuo are really lonely. In the following decades, Li Yueran has always existed as a patriotic businessman, and spared no effort to help various patriotic anti-Japanese organizations. After the founding of New China, Li Yueran donated all her personal property to the country. Then, with the brand Promise created by her, she went to the United States to reunite with her family. The evaluation of Li Yueran in history is also full of praise, especially her design talent, and the clothes she designed will not be outdated in future generations. There is only one point, which puzzles the future generations, is that until Li Yueran died in Los Angeles, USA, she was always alone and never remarried. The world has many speculations about her love life. Some people say that she gave up her family for her career, and some of them think that she still misses her ex-husband. But once this kind of voice was raised, it was immediately refuted by countless people with facts, and even descendants of the Liu family came forward to say that this is impossible.
Someone with good intentions deliberately checked the relevant information of his ex-husband Xu Wenxuan, and found that compared with his literary achievements in poetry and writing, it is his several love stories that are more interesting to talk about. The twists and turns are not inferior to the current dog blood drama . Especially during the years of the Anti-Japanese War, Xu Wenxuan and his family lived in exile. Xu Wenxuan didn’t have a job, and the family relied on his wife to help others wash clothes. Later, Xu Wenxuan and his father and mother were killed in an air strike, and his wife escaped by taking the child to help people wash clothes.
Li Yueran didn’t care what others thought, what history said, or what future generations commented on. The moment she died, she finally heard the voice that she had been thinking about, saying, “Yueran, you are awesome, I am here for you.” I am proud of you!”
