Rebirth or let the ungrateful wolf be born

Zeng Ping couldn't believe his ears when he received Jiang Jie's call. After confirming it again and again in his heart, he asked her to have dinner together.

"Jiang Jie... do you still remember the steak house across from our company? It's the one you used to love the most. Although it has expanded now, the taste has not changed. It's still the taste you like. Do you want to come and try it?"

Zeng Ping invited Jiang Jie cautiously, his voice trembling slightly, as if he was afraid of saying a wrong word.

Jiang Jie was also very excited when she heard Zeng Ping's voice. Even his breathing sounded so familiar, as if time had gone back to the past. However, when she heard him mention the breakup before the car accident, her excitement instantly cooled down. At that moment, all the memories came to her mind, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Zeng Ping lifted the phone from his ear, glanced at the screen, confirmed that the call was still ongoing, then gently put the phone back to his ear and whispered "Hello".

"I'm sorry, when I heard your familiar voice, I couldn't help but think of the past. How about we invite your wife to have dinner together?" Jiang Jie came back to her senses after hearing Zeng Ping's greeting and asked calmly.

There was a hint of awkwardness in the air. Zeng Ping was silent for a moment, then slowly replied, "Well...she has to accompany her son. A lot of things have happened recently, and it just so happens that you're back, so I want to have a good chat with you."

Jiang Jie was filled with mixed emotions after hearing this. She didn't know how to respond, after all, they had had some unhappiness before. But at the same time, she also realized that this might be an opportunity to start over, an opportunity to resolve their differences.

"Okay, then let's meet alone. I also want to hear about your experience." Jiang Jie finally made a decision. She hoped that through this dinner, she could truly understand Zeng Ping's inner world and give herself an explanation.

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Ping and Jiang Jie each held expectations and uneasiness, preparing for this dinner full of uncertainties. They both knew that this meal might change the trajectory of their future lives, but no matter what the outcome, they were willing to face it bravely.

Jiang Jie came to the downstairs of the company where she had worked for many years, looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar place, and a faint feeling of nostalgia surged in her heart. She stood there, quietly staring at the door that she had entered and exited countless times, as if she could see through it the figure of herself busy at work in the past.

However, Jiang Jie had no intention of entering the company. She just wanted to stay here for a while and recall the past. For her, such nostalgia is also a wonderful experience, which allows her to re-experience every bit of the past.

At this time, Zeng Ping was walking home after get off work and noticed Jiang Jie standing on the roadside from a distance. He was surprised to find that although twenty years had passed, Jiang Jie still looked the same as she did twenty years ago. Time seemed to have stagnated on her without leaving any trace. The only difference from twenty years ago was that Jiang Jie was wearing a pair of flat shoes instead of high heels.

When Jiang Jie saw Zeng Ping coming towards her, she was so excited that she took two steps back. But she quickly regained her composure and smiled to meet his gaze. Zeng Ping walked up to Jiang Jie and the first thing he said was not a normal greeting, but an impatient question: "Do you remember me?"

Jiang Jie was a little surprised by Zeng Ping's sudden question. She shook her head slightly and replied with a smile: "Although you look much older now than I remember, how could I forget you?" There was a hint of playfulness in her tone, trying to ease the strange atmosphere.

Zeng Ping listened to Jiang Jie's answer, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He looked at Jiang Jie silently, as if thinking about something. After a while, he slowly said: "In fact, over the years, I have been praying for you and hoping that you would wake up early. I didn't expect that you would only forget me when you woke up..."

She couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why do you say that? What happened between us?"

Zeng Ping took a deep breath and began to talk about his feelings towards her after the car accident. The relationship between them had been buried deep in Zeng Ping's heart, becoming a regret that he could not let go.

After listening to Zeng Ping's narration, Jiang Jie's eyes gradually became moist.

Zeng Ping smiled sheepishly and touched his head, then took Jiang Jie to the luxuriously decorated store across the street. He had reserved the seat and dishes by phone before leaving get off work. As soon as the two sat down, they didn't have to wait long before the waiter served them a table of delicious food.

"If she knew that you and I were having dinner alone, would she think too much? Would you have a conflict over this?" Jiang Jie watched Zeng Ping considerately pull the steak in front of her and cut it, and couldn't help but think of him coming to see his ex-wife with a big belly. Although this happened 20 years ago, for Jiang Jie who just woke up, it was as if it happened yesterday.

"No, she's now thinking about our disappointing son." Zeng Ping cut the steak and placed it in front of Jiang Jie, then started cutting his own portion. "Our son has always wanted to go to a 211 university, but he couldn't get the grades he wanted, so he chose to repeat his studies. Now he's repeating his studies for the second year. In order to take good care of him, his mother moved to a restaurant close to the school to eat and live with him."

When Jiang Jie heard him talk about their son, she figured he was about 20 years old. She couldn't help but feel sad. That year, it was because his ex-wife came to him to take responsibility when she was pregnant with his son that he asked her to go to his house to talk about breaking up. When she left, she was too sad to notice the out-of-control truck and had an accident. When she woke up, she had lost 20 years of memory for no reason.

Zeng Ping also noticed a hint of sadness on Jiang Jie's face and asked with concern, "How have you been doing during the month since you left?"

Jiang Jie: "I've only been away from here for over a month?"

"That's right. It's only been a month since you were discharged from the hospital. How long did you think you had been away?" Zeng Ping responded with a smile as he looked at the confused Jiang Jie.

Jiang Jie: "How long will I be in the hospital?"

Zeng Ping's smile suddenly disappeared when he heard this question, and he felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made you lie in the hospital in a vegetative state for twenty years."

Jiang Jie: I have been lying in the hospital bed here for twenty years, and I have only been away for more than a month. How did I get married with Yu Xiufeng and have a child?

Zeng Ping felt a little uneasy watching Jiang Jie fall into silence again. He wanted to ask something but didn't know whether to speak. Before he could ask what he wanted to ask, Jiang Jie asked him again: "Do you know a person named Yu Xiufeng?"

Hearing this name, Zeng Ping thought about it seriously and shook his head to Jiang Jie with certainty: "I don't know him, who is he?"

After hearing what Zeng Ping said, Jiang Jie was even more certain that Yu Xiufeng had lied to her. They were not married for many years. When they were together, it was probably her first time, not her period. After she recovered her memory, her period had not come.

She had studied her body in front of the dressing mirror more than once, and she was very sure that her body had never been able to give birth to a child.
