I almost touched the moon

Cheng Che said to Wen Song: "So, I don't hate Aunt Yang. From her perspective, she is also a victim. She said that she doesn't ask for my forgiveness, but only hopes that I won't vent my anger on A Xuan. A Xuan really likes me as a brother."

Wen Song did not comment on Cheng Che's statement. She said, "Ah Che, you and your mother are the biggest victims."

She was not an emotional person, and did not have the energy to sympathize with an uninformed third party. Moreover, she believed that in that situation, as long as Yang Wanqing was careful and asked around, she would not be unaware of the truth.

If Yang Wanqing knew nothing about it and did not investigate, then she was stupid; if she knew the truth but lied to Cheng Che, then she was bad. No matter she was stupid or bad, she did not deserve her sympathy.

"Are you feeling sorry for me?" Cheng Che looked at her and suddenly smiled. He had hardly ever seen such a rich expression on Wen Song's indifferent face. There was sadness, anger, as well as love and heartache for him.

"Yes." Wen Song buried his whole body in his arms, holding his back tightly with both hands, and said in a crying voice, "If only I knew you at that time, I would never let you suffer any injustice."

"Who said that?" Cheng Che said jokingly, "You are the one who made me suffer the most."

"Because I am the only one who can bully you." Wen Song bit his lips gently, "No one else can."

"Idiot." Cheng Che kissed her lips gently, "You didn't bully me, you treated me very well."

"Ache, you are very kind. You and your mother, you are both very kind." But Wen Song wanted to tell him that you don't need to be so kind, you can be a little selfish.

Cheng Che took a sip of wine, sighed softly and said, "Before my mother left, I think she probably guessed that my father had cheated on her. But she didn't say anything, just pretended that she knew nothing and endured it silently. I think she was afraid that I would be even more sad if I knew, so she always acted like a loving couple with my father in front of me."

"Two days before she passed away, she suddenly felt very well and asked me to walk with her in the garden. She taught me how to draw and told me the essence of architectural drawing. She stayed with me for the whole afternoon. When I returned to the ward at night, she asked me if I was happy. I said I was very happy and hoped that my mother would always be with me."

Wen Song already knew the ending, but when he thought of Cheng Che at that time, he still couldn't help feeling sad.

A bottle of whiskey was empty, so Cheng Che opened another bottle of sake and took out two sake cups from the cupboard.

Wen Song saw that his steps were a little unsteady, so he snatched the bottle from his hand and said, "You've drunk too much, stop drinking."

"It's okay." Cheng Che shook his head, "I'm not drunk yet."

After pouring sake for himself and Wen Song, he sat on the floor and said while drinking: "That night, my mother told me that she couldn't continue to accompany me, but she hoped that I would become a happy and kind person. She told me not to hate my father, and not to hate anyone.

She also told me that if I had a girl I liked, I must love her wholeheartedly and not lie to her or let her down. She told me not to become a person like my dad. The last thing she said to me, you also told me, she said she didn’t regret giving up her dream for me, but she hoped that I would never give up my dream.

"Ah Che..." Wen Song was already in tears after hearing this. She hugged Cheng Che, kissed his slightly red cheek, and whispered in his ear, "You love me very much, I know."

"I won't let you down, and I won't lie to you, Songsong. Do you believe me?" Cheng Che looked at her and asked seriously.

"I believe it, of course I do." Wen Song kissed his eyes and said to him, "Ache, me too, I won't leave you."

Cheng Che noticed that she was wearing the comet ring he had given her on her left ring finger. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, held her in his arms, and kissed her passionately.

After a while, Cheng Che asked Wen Song, "How did Lawyer Wen treat you?"

"She doesn't look like my mother." Wen Song thought for a moment and said, "She looks more like my teacher."

"Compared to your mother, she is not a qualified mother at all. She even got my birthday wrong. Before I was twelve, I could only see her once or twice a year, and each time was no more than a week. She never took care of me when I was sick, and even when I had my first period, I looked up relevant information on the Internet.

Before I went to Switzerland, the school invited parents, and it was my grandparents who went. After I went to Switzerland, it was her assistant or Aunt Zhou who went. I had been studying at LMU for a year when she asked me, when are you going to apply for university? Don’t study law.

After hearing her words, Cheng Che burst into laughter. It really fits his stereotype of lawyer Wen Yiheng.

Wen Song sighed and said, "But she had a very hard time right after her divorce. She won the divorce lawsuit, but it also cost a huge price. I heard from Xuanyan and my godmother that she had severe anxiety before the divorce, and she had to rely on sleeping pills and strong liquor to fall asleep every night. After the divorce, she was severely humiliated by my grandmother and some relatives. For this reason, she made up her mind to immigrate to Switzerland."

"It's not easy for Lawyer Wen..." Cheng Che gently held Wen Song's hand to comfort her, "But I admire her very much."

"A lot of people admire her, and so do I. But when I was a kid, I also hated her."

Wen Song lit a cigarette, leaned back on the sofa and exhaled a cloud of smoke, then slowly said, "When I was in China, I was bullied at school because I didn't have a father and my mother wasn't around. I beat them up and their heads were bleeding. Their parents came to the school to make trouble, and my grandmother had no choice but to take me to apologize. Later, my godmother and Xuanyan came to help me get justice, and Xuanyan beat up the child the next day."

Cheng Che felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard this, and said to Wen Song, "If only I had known your sister at that time, I would have protected you."

"I was only seven years old at that time, and you were only five. How could you protect me?" Wen Song smiled and said lightly, "It's all in the past."

She went on to say, "So I really hated her at that time. I thought since she didn't care about me, why did she have to take me away? It might be better to keep me here. But fortunately, she was willing to give up 20% of Watson's shares and insisted on taking me away."

"After arriving in Switzerland, I still didn't see her often. Every day I was either in boarding school or Aunt Zhou took care of me. Aunt Zhou was very good to me. She was from Hong Kong and her Mandarin was not very good. Most of the time, we could only communicate in English." Wen Song almost laughed to tears when he said this, "Thanks to her, my English improved rapidly."

Cheng Che also laughed, "No wonder you always speak Chinese with a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent, and occasionally say a few words in Cantonese."

"The worst fight I had with my mom was when I was fourteen and in the ninth grade." Wen Song still smiled, "We have a Parents Day every semester, and my mom has never come. She always asks her assistant to come. But the Parents Day in the ninth grade happened to be my birthday. I told her to come because I had an equestrian performance that day."

"She promised me, and as you can guess, she didn't come."

Wen Song's tone was deliberately casual, but Cheng Che could guess how disappointed Iseylia was at that time, not seeing her mother in the crowd.

Cheng Che asked softly, "And then?" He stroked her long hair and gently smoothed it.

Wen Song said: "Of course I was very angry. When I saw her after I got home, we had a big fight. She explained that she wanted to come, but because she was busy merging with Jun Ping Law Firm in China to develop Greater China business, she had to go back to Shanghai to attend a meeting.

I was also very angry. I said, if she only cared about work, why did she give birth to me? Why did she bring me to Switzerland? Why not let me stay in China? I said she was not worthy of being my mother. She said two words at that time, and I will never forget them in my life.

"The first sentence, she told me that she brought me to Switzerland because she didn't want me to go through the difficulties she had experienced again. The second sentence..." Wen Song smiled, a little embarrassedly.

"She said that she was just Wen Yiheng, just herself, and my mother was the least worth mentioning of all her identities.

She told me that when she dies, her epitaph will read "founder of LKLLP, one of the world's top 50 law firms and one of the top 10 law firms in Europe, and of the internationally renowned consulting firm nsulting; the most outstanding investment, trade and corporate lawyer in Europe; former senior equity partner of Jun Ping Law Firm, a red-circle law firm in China; one of the top 50 outstanding female entrepreneurs in the world by Forbes; a part-time lecturer with a doctorate in law at the University of Zurich; an LLM from the University of Edinburgh; and a bachelor of law and honorary alumnus from Fudan University."

My name will not appear on her epitaph. My only role is to collect gifts at her funeral as her only relative. Of course, I can choose not to attend her funeral. "

After Wen Song finished speaking, he took a sip of wine and couldn't help laughing. He said to Cheng Che, "So what do you think I can say? I'm just a person who collects gifts at funerals."

Cheng Che also laughed. He suddenly felt envious. He said to Wen Song, "Song Song, if my mother had chosen the same path as Lawyer Wen, she wouldn't have gotten sick and died so early. She would definitely be very happy."

Wen Song drank the wine in the glass and sighed, "To be honest, I don't know. Everyone has different personalities and experiences, so the choices they make will be different."

She leaned her head on Cheng Che's shoulder and whispered, "There are two kinds of people in this world. One kind is like you and your mother, who are very kind and pure. You would rather sacrifice yourself to make everyone around you happy. The other kind is like me and Lawyer Wen, who don't care about the lives of others as long as they are happy."

"But at least, you will have an easy life." Cheng Che said with some envy, "It's impossible in this life. I hope my mother can live an easy life in the next life."

"Ah Che, I don't want to define which attitude towards life is better. I just want to tell you that I not only hope you are happy, but I also hope that you live for yourself."

After that, she kissed Cheng Che's lips and whispered in his ear: "You can be a little selfish."
