Chapter 880: Those Years, Those Memories 2
Chapter 880 "To be honest, I was the one who liked your mother first. Back then, she was generous, beautiful, elegant, and graceful. Many people were pursuing her. There’s an old saying in Country Z, ’A fair lady, a gentleman’s desire,’ and I think it perfectly describes a woman like her, a goddess in many men’s hearts. There were many men chasing after her, and I thought about pursuing her too, but—"
At this point, President Shi Mai’er showed a hint of regret in his eyes.
"But what?" Song Yinyin asked.
He took a deep breath and said:
"But at that time, she already had a boyfriend. To be precise, her fiancé, they were childhood sweethearts, and I heard they had just been engaged for three months."
Unexpectedly, my mother was already engaged while she was in college.
Of course, it was so long ago, and my mother never mentioned it, so it’s understandable that I didn’t know.
"But later, for some unknown reason, I heard that they canceled their engagement, and she broke up with her fiancé."
"Later on, when I met your mother, it was also at a concert. Before the concert started, she got into an argument with her ex-boyfriend in the plaza outside the music hall. I happened to be there, so I stepped in to help her and drove that man away."
"After that, we ran into each other several times at the library, exchanged notebooks, and slowly developed feelings, eventually becoming a couple."
"Unlike others’ tumultuous love experiences, ours was more like a gentle stream. Whatever we did, even eating, dating, or spending weekends together, was decided by mutual agreement."
"We even agreed that as soon as I finished studying abroad and she graduated, we would get married right away."
Seeing the happy expression on President Shi Mai’er’s face as he recalled those past events, she thought that during that time, he and her mother must have been happy.
Otherwise, such a happy expression wouldn’t appear on his face.
After a pause, President Shi Mai’er took a deep breath again, and his expression gradually turned somber.
"But the good times didn’t last long. After Yueru broke up with her ex-boyfriend, her ex-boyfriend’s brother repeatedly sought her out, mistakenly believing I was a third party between them, using this as an excuse each time to harass your mother, causing her a lot of distress."
President Shi Mai’er’s expression slightly darkened.
Song Yinyin realized that this was where their relationship took a turn.
"And then, what happened afterwards?"
"After that..."
President Shi Mai’er took a deep breath, his face darkening even more.
"Later, for some reason, rumors about your mother spread everywhere, saying she was a frivolous woman, that although she was a noble lady, she was unrestrained, with particularly chaotic social circles."
"At first, I didn’t pay attention to these rumors. But one day, I accidentally found a box hidden under our bed, filled with letters from her ex-boyfriend. There was also a photo album, full of pictures of the two of them together."
"As I flipped through their photos one by one, I felt as if a thousand ants were gnawing at my heart. I took those letters and photos to confront your mother, but she offered no explanation and directly asked to break up with me!"
"..." Song Yinyin widened her eyes, covering her mouth in unspeakable shock.
So it turned out that it was my mother who initiated the breakup?
Why?!
