Chapter 979
“Shen Shu, is it that in your opinion, other people just don’t get hurt at all, that it’s not hard, that the only person who will hurt and suffer is yourself?”
I froze in place and stared at her blankly, this was the first time, someone had said something like that to me.
“I ……” I tried to open my mouth to defend myself and couldn’t help but laugh, nodding somewhat to myself and speaking, “Well, you’re right about everything, and I’m sorry that a lot of my actions seem to really hurt you or others. ”
The explanation didn’t make sense, so I stood on the side of the road, took a taxi and went straight to Mu’s.
Something was bothering me so much, people who are cold by nature seem to be like that, pressed to know what to do!
When I got back to the office, I was irritable, and after briefly reading some documents that Mu Shen had to sign, I got a little cranky.
It was until closing time when Linda saw that I hadn’t left and knocked on the door, frowning, “What’s wrong?”
I saw that everyone in the office had left and said lightly, “Nothing, probably a bit irritable as my aunt is coming.”
She said with a bit of regret, “It’s a pity that my aunt is coming in the next two days, but in two days it will be Tanabata, a good thing to come at this time, a bit of a spoiler!”
Tanabata?
I had forgotten how much time had passed, and sighed slightly, “I’m too old for Tanabata, what’s the point of having Tanabata?”
The first thing I did was to take a look at her, “What do you mean, you’re old enough to live a boring life? How boring would that be?”
I laughed and suddenly remembered, at noon, Ouyang Nuo’s words, asking Linda to go to dinner together in the evening.
The words came to my lips and were slightly retracted; I wondered if Ouyangnuo was in a better mood about today’s events.
“Linda, do you have a very close friend of that sort? Or someone you love very much?”
She nodded, her heels too high, she found a chair and sat next to me and said, “Definitely, I have a best friend, I’ve known her for almost fifteen years, and as for people I love very much, my kids, my parents are the people I love the most.”
I hesitated for a moment and asked, “What about your husband?”
She froze slightly, and after a moment said, “Divorced.”
I paused for a moment and said, somewhat apologetically, “I’m sorry, I ……”
“It’s normal, when people reach middle age, they all encounter some twists and turns, Shen Shu, life doesn’t have to be what it is, just choose the life you want to live.” I nodded my head and smiled lightly.
She smiled, “What’s wrong? You’re asking that question out of the blue, is something going on?”
I nodded and said, “I don’t seem to know how to treat the people around me who care about me, it’s like I’m always pushing them away by mistake.”
She pinned her chin and looked at me, “Friends and lovers?”
I nodded, “Well, it seems like growing up, we never learned the lesson of love, how to love people, and I never seem to have learned it until now.”
She flinched slightly and said, “Don’t you have a child? How did you love her? I don’t know how others understand it, but my understanding is that love is a state of being from the heart and wanting the best for the other person, like you do for your child, you know how to be good to her, so you do everything you can to give her the best.”

“What about friends?”
She spoke, “The same, but there is a degree to everything, not too much and not enough, otherwise it tends to backfire.”
I was a little deflated, “All this is too theoretical, but when it comes to problems, there’s still no way to solve them.”
She raised an eyebrow, “What did you encounter? Tell me, after all, I’m a dozen years older than you, so maybe I can help.”
“What if you’re having a fight with a friend?”
She froze and said, “You haven’t had a fight with a friend before?”
I shook my head, “Not really!” When Muzi and I used to argue, a lot of the time I kept quiet and basically didn’t open my mouth to retort, and when her anger subsided, she would automatically come to me.
This time, I seem to Ouyang Nuo I can’t even tell myself what kind of attitude, and mixed with Fu Shen Yan, things have become a bit complicated.
I think about it, there is no way to sort it out, so I look at her and say, “Are you busy tonight? Want to join us for dinner?”
She froze, “What a coincidence, my parents are coming over to take the kids for me today, I was planning to go out and relax, I’ll have company this time.”
Packed up her things and headed out of the office.
After a bit of shopping at the mall with Linda and some food, she thought it would be a good idea to get out, so she asked to go to the bar with her.
“You know, I haven’t been to a bar since I had the baby, I feel like I’m 70 or 80 years old, you know, people, you still have to get out more often to keep your cells active and young!” Linda was in a good mood, so she ordered a few more drinks and chatted with me while she drank.
It didn’t take long for her to drink a lot and she half-squinted as she approached me and said, “It’s good to be young, as long as Ying Ying is here, she can attract a lot of attention.”
I looked around and saw that there were people looking in our direction all the time, so I didn’t care too much.
She smiled lightly, “Don’t worry, I’m a good drinker!”
I ordered a glass of juice and took a few shallow sips, a little distracted and dazed.
After looking at her phone a few times, Linda couldn’t look at it anymore and spoke, “Shen Shu, do you know what the scariest thing in this world is?”
I shook my head and she held up her cup and clinked it with me as she spoke, “It’s wavering, and often at times like this, the longer you put it off, the most likely you are to lose the things that matter most to you in your life.”
With that said, she results my phone and dials the number straight through.
I was in a hurry to grab it, but was intended by the sudden voice, “Miss Shen?”
I froze, turned around and could not help but frown, acquaintance, a moment with a few smiles on his face, “Wang Bureau, hello!”
He grinned wholeheartedly and spoke, “Miss Shen, this is the third time we’ve met, isn’t it? This is three times a month, so it’s kind of fate, don’t you think?”
I smiled and got up from my seat, distancing myself from him, “Is Wang here to talk about something? Then I’ll leave you alone.”
After saying that, I tried to pull Linda away but was blocked by him, who had brought someone with him to surround us two girls.
I couldn’t help but frown and look back at him, “What does Wang Bureau mean by this?”
He still had a smile on his face and looked at me with a bit of lewdness, “Miss Shen this is still talking with such a strong voice, it seems that she still doesn’t know what she’s getting into!”
