Chapter 700: , this is happiness

Yang Yingwen was still the same as ever, with no changes, except that she was a bit darker than before.

Opening the door and letting Li Heng and Song Yu in, Yang Yingwen teased, "It's a rare cloudy day today. Why aren't you two properly enjoying your time together instead of coming to find me?"

Li Heng scanned the room, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, so I came to see you. Hey, where's your mom?"

Yang Yingwen poured a glass of plain water for each of the three, "She has the day off today, but she can't stay idle, so she went out to set up a stall again."

Li Heng asked, "Setting up a stall? Selling what?"

Yang Yingwen said, "Selling things like socks and sandals."

Li Heng was curious, "Does she make money?"

Yang Yingwen said, "Usually a few yuan. If she's lucky, she can occasionally make over 10 yuan."

As she spoke, Yang Yingwen prepared a red envelope on the spot and handed it to him, "I heard that Zhang Zui had a daughter, but I haven't gone to see her. Could you help me give this to him? It's not much money, just a small gesture."

Li Heng tucked the red envelope into his pocket, "Sure. You still remember him; Zhang Zhiyong will definitely be overjoyed."

Yang Yingwen asked Song Yu, "Did you and Li Heng go to New Future yesterday?"

Song Yu nodded gently, "We stayed there for half a day, but didn't see you."

Yang Yingwen replied, "Yesterday I went on a business trip to Tianjin with Professor He Wen and only returned this morning, so of course you wouldn't have seen me."

After saying this, Yang Yingwen continued to ask her, "How is it? Both your parents have met; when will Xiao Feng and I be able to drink to your wedding?"

Song Yu exchanged a glance with Li Heng and said with a smile, "We'll wait until after graduation and see how he's doing."

Hearing this, Yang Yingwen and Xiao Feng looked at each other, both thinking of Xiao Han, and couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

But both palms and the back of the hand are flesh; they were friends with Xiao Han and also friends with Song Yu, so they didn't show anything on their faces and offered their blessings, "Congratulations to you both. Remember to notify Xiao Feng and me when the time comes; we are very willing to pay the gift money."

Song Yu's eyes held a faint smile, "Okay."

The four sat around chatting for a while, then Yang Yingwen stood up and said to Li Heng, "Come out, I have something to tell you about the company."

Li Heng understood and followed her to the corridor outside, arriving at a deserted corner.

Song Yu and Xiao Feng glanced at the two and continued chatting about their previous topic.

Yang Yingwen asked, "Have you really decided to marry Song Yu?"

Li Heng said, "This is my lifelong wish."

Hearing this, Yang Yingwen didn't ask about Xiao Han, but mentioned Chen Zijin, "Then how will you settle Zijin? She was the first to be with you."

Li Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to say right now; you'll see slowly in the future."

Yang Yingwen nodded and asked again, "Has Song Yu reconciled with Zijin?"

Li Heng said yes.

Yang Yingwen smiled and said, "That's great."

Then she asked, "Are you preparing New Future for Song Yu and her children?"

Li Heng asked, "Why do you guess that?"

Yang Yingwen said, "You have so many confidantes, yet you only brought Song Yu there. Is it hard to guess?"

Li Heng gave a thumbs up, "Since we're both in Jingcheng, please help look after Song Yu for me."

Yang Yingwen sighed, "Since you're going to marry her, I'll definitely put in 120% effort to help her. Don't worry."

According to the old Mabu's intentions, she originally wanted to remain neutral between Zijin, Song Yu, and Xiao Han, but now that the situation had changed, her primary goal was naturally to help him look after the family business.

There was no reason for doing so; because the two were childhood friends who grew up together, this was a kind of bond that outsiders found hard to understand.

After 12:00 noon, the four went to a restaurant next to Renmin University and also called Liu Li, who was working nearby, over.

The five sat down, counting as a small gathering.

After ordering the dishes and waiting for the waiter to leave, Liu Li grinned and asked Li Heng, "Big rich man, is your company still hiring? I might as well work for you after I graduate."

Li Heng rolled his eyes, "If you join my company, wouldn't your university education be in vain? If I remember correctly, your original intention was to enter the system, right?"

Liu Li took some napkins to wipe his sweat and said dejectedly, "Sigh, don't mention it. Having grown accustomed to the prosperity of Jingcheng, I'm afraid it would be very hard to adapt if I went back to the provinces to enter the system."

This remark resonated with Xiao Feng, "That's indeed the case. I'm also in a dilemma now. Should I enter the system? Or take the postgraduate entrance exam to stay at the school, or go out to earn money? Jingcheng looks prosperous, but without money, it's hard to move an inch. Especially for people like us from the countryside, it's very unfriendly."

Song Yu joined the conversation, "Xiao Feng, didn't you want to study abroad?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Feng's expression became a bit dim, "I originally had a chance in my sophomore year, but that quota for studying abroad was intercepted halfway, and I was cut."

Liu Li was close by and was hearing this for the first time, "That person has a background."

Xiao Feng nodded. Without waiting for others to speak, she looked at Li Heng and smiled, "If I have nowhere to mix in the future, I'll come to rely on you. Don't look down on me then."

Li Heng agreed happily and said, "As a top student from Peking University, how could you have nowhere to go? But if you can come to help me, I'd definitely be very happy."

The dishes arrived, the beer arrived, and everyone started by drinking a glass together.

Liu Li stuffed two pieces of meat into his mouth and chewed loudly, "Damn it, I broke up again. Old Heng, why is my love life so bumpy? You have rich experience, give me a trick."

Yang Yingwen squinted at Liu Li and scolded, "In front of Song Yu, you bring up this question—do you not want to live? You're purely asking for a beating."

Liu Li's neck shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly poured wine, looking at Song Yu with the appearance of a good person, "My fault, I didn't mean to offend. Forgive me for being blind. Song Yu, I'll punish myself with this glass."

Song Yu smiled, watched Liu Li finish the wine in the glass, and asked, "Weren't you getting along well? Why did you break up?"

Liu Li tugged at his pocket and said gloomily, "My pocket is cleaner than if a dog had licked it. A local senior student was generous and promised to marry her after graduation. This is a foreigner settling directly in Jingcheng in one step; it was really too tempting. Then I watched helplessly as my beloved girl was snatched away. I couldn't take it at the time and even learned from Pushkin to find him for a duel. As a result, I was abused in both literary and martial duels. Sigh, then I accepted my fate."

Li Heng nudged him with his elbow, "Why don't we drink more, and with the alcohol, we'll go find that guy for a fight later."

Liu Li hurriedly waved his hand, "Forget it. A woman like that can abandon me today and abandon others tomorrow. Leaving early is a blessing; it's not worth the old master exerting force again. With this energy, the two of us might as well drink a few more glasses."

Li Heng picked up two bottles of beer and placed one in front of each person, "Okay, as long as you can let go. Come, let's finish this bottle in one gulp."

"Drink then. I haven't really chugged a bottle yet." Liu Li opened his big mouth and started chugging.

After three rounds of drinks, Liu Li also mentioned Zou Aiming, saying that the other party came to Dongkou to find him during the summer vacation and they even went to Chen Lijun's hometown together.

Song Yu asked, "Your hometowns are close. Does Lijun still have contact with you now?"

Liu Li touched the back of his head and replied, "Although I often passed by her house during the summer vacation and sat under her doorstep from time to time, she seemed to have disappeared into thin air. I haven't had any news for a long time."

Yang Yingwen asked, "So stupid. Can't you ask her family members in a roundabout way?"

"I asked, but they just brushed me off. I was too embarrassed to get to the bottom of it," Liu Li expressed that he was very hurt.

Lively and bustling, chatting about this and that, the five ate for over an hour before dispersing.

Yang Yingwen and Xiao Feng returned to their rented room.

Liu Li continued to go to work.

Li Heng and Song Yu returned to Peking University and started walking on the campus.

On the quiet tree-lined path, Song Yu took the initiative to hold his hand for the first time, walking forward silently. ===== CHAPTER 701 =====
