Gossip

On Monday, Yu Huan’s colleague, Amy, asked her in the break room, “Didn’t you go to CEO Liang’s wedding last weekend?”

“Oh, I went?” Yu Huan stirring her coffee.

“Then why didn’t I see you?” Amy questioned.

Yu Huan thought of the sinful thing that day and lied, “I was a little unwell so I went home.”

“Oh,” Amy replied. She had arrived late and did not hear Gao Yan’s speech. She asked another question, “I heard that the bride and groom are college friends?”

Yu Huan took a sip of coffee and nodded. “Yeah.”

“I’m going to attend another wedding next month, and the bride and groom are also classmates,”  Amy said. After thinking for a while, she said, “A lot of couples who broke up when they were students have gotten back together after graduation. It’s like most people are more inclined to date old classmates when looking for a marriage partner. Why do you think people do that?”

“Because they have a deep understanding of each other?” Yu Huan put down her cup. “Compared to getting to know someone. Or maybe when they were students their feelings were deeper?”

After all, when people were students, there were less things to consider, and after entering society, there were all kinds of pros and cons to weigh.

Amy listened to Yu Huan and thought about it again.

Yu Huan saw her pondering. “Do you also want to date your old classmates? Or do you have a classmate who wants to date you?”

“No, just wishful thinking, that’s all.” Amy quickly waved her hand and suddenly looked at Yu Huan. “Do you have an old classmate like that?”

“…” Yu Huan was stumped for a moment. “No.”

Amy saw something suspicious from the short pause. “Really?”

“Really?” Yu Huan repeated what she said.

Chen Yilin came out of nowhere and asked, “What really?”

Gossiping was not just in a woman’s nature.

Amy and Yu Huan looked at each other and smiled. Amy went out with her cup. Yu Huan turned to look at Chen Yilin and said, “I’m very re-energized after taking a weekend off. Did you go somewhere to have fun?”

“No, I was unpacking a few days worth of package deliveries.”

“…”

So in addition to gossip, he was also obsessed with online shopping?

Yu Huan suddenly became suspicious about Chen Yilin. He saw the look in her eyes and quickly said, “It’s all simple furniture and some clothes.”

“The place where I live now has only basic furniture and nothing else,” Chen Yilin explained. “After I came back, I discovered that online shopping in this country was really convenient, so I bought a lot of things online. Many of them need to be assembled, so I left them for the weekend to be assembled all at once.”

“… Oh.” Yu Huan’s eyes returned to normal. “You don’t live with your parents?”

“They are abroad.”

“?” Yu Huan: “I thought you came back from studying abroad, but you’ve always been there…”

Ah, no, he went to high school in F City

Yu Huan was a little confused. *∞:｡.｡ ???? ?? .??? ｡.｡:∞*

“It’s not America. My parents are in Canada. They went there when I was a sophomore,” Chen Yilin had to continue to explain. “My parents are jewelry designers. You know, that industry is not essential over here, and my grandfather had entered the real estate industry… When I was about two years old, my parents applied for self-employed immigration, but at that time my grandfather and grandmother divorced, and my uncle was still not an adult, and my mother was worried… After my uncle got older, my grandmother was not in good health… They kept dragging their immigration work until the past few years and finally successfully immigrated over there.”

Chen Yilin paused when he said that his grandmother was not in good health. Although she had nothing to say, Yu Huan guessed that his grandmother had eventually passed away.

Chen Yilin’s grandmother, who was Gao Yan’s mother, was called Yan Yuhua or Mrs. Yan. Gao Cheng, Gao Yan’s father, was a famous entrepreneur in F City.

Their rise to fortune could be regarded as a legend in F City. They started from scratch by reselling small commodities. Eventually, they established the largest jewelry company in F city and set up their own jewelry brands to be on trend. In 2004, when the real estate industry began to rise, they acquired a local real estate company and established F City’s largest building material provider. They also entered the real estate industry until it became today’s Leshang.

Between Gao Cheng and Yan Yuhua, both were well-known legends in F City.

On her high school’s anniversary, Yu Huan once saw Mrs. Yan from afar. In an age when technology was not as developed, Mrs. Yan looked more beautiful, intelligent, talented and kind than in photos. But she did not look well.

People said that she was diagnosed with cancer at that time.

Since then, she had been fighting against it for seven or eight years. Because of her illness, she gradually faded out of people’s sight. Until two years ago, when F’s local news made a report about her again—it was the news that she died because cancer deteriorated her condition.

“So, you live alone?” Yu Huan asked.

She actually wanted to ask Chen Yilin, where is your grandfather? Then she quickly remembered how Gao Cheng did whatever he wanted to in recent years. Based on Gao Yan’s disdain, Gao Chang’s new girlfriend was less than two years older than Chen Yilin.

Chen Yilin probably felt the same as Gao Yan. Yu Huan then asked, “Is it far from here?”

“It’s near here since I’m just working here. But, I may have to change where I live in a few months.” Chen Yilin sighed. “I wanted to stay with my uncle first, but he told me it was inconvenient.”

“He doesn’t have a girlfriend right now, so how would it be inconvenient for him?” He had to complain about him.

“…” It was not a good moment for Yu Huan to speak.

But Chen Yilin is so pure, she thought.

For a man to not have a girlfriend, who knew whether he really did not have a girlfriend or had some other secrets?
