"Xuanxuan, you are still so beautiful."

This was the first sentence Zhai Wuji said to Li Xuanxuan after he arrived at the restaurant.

"Hey, what's so beautiful about that? I have wrinkles!"

Li Xuanxuan lifted her hair and did not feel restrained by Zhai Wuji's status as a labor reform inmate.

She is different from many girls. She has almost no complicated thoughts. She is straightforward in both character and way of speaking. This is why Zhai Wuji was infatuated with her back then.

Li Xuanxuan is very pure and beautiful. She is definitely the white moonlight in the hearts of countless men!

"Brother Zhai, how have you been these past few years? I see that you are in great spirits and look even younger than you did eight years ago!"

Hearing this, Zhai Wuji smiled and said bitterly: "My complexion has indeed improved a lot. After all, I mainly eat vegetarian food every day in there, and I have a lot of training and labor every day, just like being a soldier, so my physical condition is getting healthier and healthier."

"Eh? Is that so?"

Li Xuanxuan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that being in jail would have such an effect.

"It seems that going to that kind of place is not all bad! After all, you had to attend social events every day and drink a lot of alcohol, so you didn't have time to take good care of your body! Now that you are so much healthier, it seems like you have wasted 8 years of your life, but in fact, you have extended your life! You may even live 10 more years! ~"

Hearing Li Xuanxuan say this, Zhai Wuji immediately burst into laughter.

This girl is really good at comforting people. According to her calculation, Zhai Wuji has been in prison for 8 years, but it seems that he has gained a few years of life! It's really funny!

However, just when Zhai Wuji was happy, Xuanxuan's action instantly made him lose his composure.

——The girl covered her mouth with her right hand and was also smiling happily at this moment, but Zhai Wuji found that there was a diamond ring on her ring finger.

"Xuanxuan, are you... married?"

"Ah."

Li Xuanxuan nodded, then noticed Zhai Wuji's gaze and looked down at the diamond ring on her hand.

"I've been married for three years! Now I have a baby and I have to go home to take care of her later."

Hearing this, Zhai Wuji was struck by lightning and was a little dazed for a moment.

To be honest, on the way here, he had imagined countless times how to repay Xuanxuan for waiting.

He thought Xuanxuan was willing to see him because she still remembered their old love and was willing to start over with him!

But she got married! She even had a son with her new husband!

So, is today's meeting just because...

Is she feeling sorry for herself?

"congratulations."

Zhai Wuji forced a smile and tried to find out some other information indirectly.

"It seems that you have been doing well in the past few years, so I feel relieved. However, when I had the accident, you were pregnant. That period must have been very difficult, right?"

Hearing this, Xuanxuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Well, it was difficult, but fortunately I got through it."

"I was just a freshman at the time, and I asked someone to pretend to be my parents and applied to the school for a one-year leave of absence. I rented a house outside for a year with the money you gave me, and at least I gave birth to the child."

"She gave birth!?"

Zhai Wuji was very shocked. He did not expect this answer at all!

"Where is that child now? Your husband doesn't care about this?"

"No." Xuanxuan shook her head.

"I found an aunt who raised my child with me until he was 3 years old and accompanied me through college. At that time, I met my current husband, and he still doesn't know that I had a child.

I kept it a secret from everyone, but I've almost spent all the money you gave me.

Rent, tuition fees, milk powder, nursing care, food, clothing, housing, transportation... money is needed everywhere. I am just a student, and my annual fixed expenses are more than 100,000 yuan.

Seeing that this was not a solution, I had to find another way out and sent our child... to an orphanage."

Xuanxuan said this and looked at Zhai Wuji with an apologetic expression.

"Brother Zhai, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of your child. I feel guilty about this."

"What are you talking about! It's obviously me who owes you and your son!"

Zhai Wuji was a little excited, but he was telling the truth.

"It's all my fault that I failed to take responsibility, which is why you have to live such a hard life!"

Hearing this, Xuanxuan's eyes turned red with some grievance, as if she was recalling the unbearable past.

She reached for the shoulder bag on the seat, unzipped the chain, and pulled out an envelope.

"Brother Zhai, the past is over, and I don't want to talk about it anymore. What's in this is the address of the orphanage, and there is also 10,000 yuan. This money may not be much for you, but it is the best I can do now..."

Before Li Xuanxuan finished speaking, Zhai Wuji stood up and forcibly stuffed the envelope back into her.

"Xuanxuan, how can I take your money? Take it back now! You have children at home!"

"No, you must accept this money." Li Xuanxuan said firmly.

"In the past few years, you have invested a lot of energy in me. I have calculated that the money you have spent on me is not one million, but at least 800,000.

Now my family is stable and my life is getting more and more prosperous. It is time to put aside the vanity I once enjoyed by your side." Xuanxuan stared at Zhai Wuji seriously.

"Brother Zhai, you have your guilt, and I have mine. After all, the child is my own, but over the years, in order to avoid suspicion and to welcome a new life, I have never dared to visit him..."

"So, this money is not only a token of my appreciation, but also a token of my hope that you can go visit him on my behalf."

"He is a boy. He took my last name, Li Zheng."

"Walk upright and walk straight."

Li Xuanxuan's eyes turned red, and she put the envelope next to Zhai Wuji after she finished speaking.

Then, she stood up, took a deep breath, and said to the man in front of her: "Okay, Brother Zhai, I have to go home to take care of the children. I hope you can turn things around and make a comeback soon! I believe in your ability!"

After saying this, Li Xuanxuan left the restaurant without looking back, without waiting for Zhai Wuji to get up to see her off.

Looking at her resolute back as she left, Zhai Wuji knew very well that after this separation, he and Xuanxuan would probably never see each other again.

The food on the table was still steaming, but Zhai Wuji's heart was extremely cold. He had come here with great expectations, but he was struck by lightning several times and was slapped hard by reality.

At this moment, he held the envelope with mixed feelings, as if he had never owned anything except the stack of emergency bills inside.

However, it was not time to visit Li Zheng yet. Even though Zhai Wuji was very curious about his youngest son.

He needs to go back to his hometown first to find out about his parents.

Eight years ago, when Zhai Wuji was sentenced in court, all the properties under his name were labeled as "illegal gains" and were confiscated.

But the house in my hometown was earned by my parents with their hard-earned money in their early years, and it is not affected by my own affairs.

After seeing his parents, he finally felt relieved. Then it wouldn't be too late to consider starting a business and visiting Li Zheng!
