A Family's Crossroads

1260 Words
"Secretary Lin, please tell the Young Master that he had better come home immediately, no matter how important the matter is. This time the problem could be very serious. The Old Madam might not make it through another breath. Ah, that damned woman should be torn to pieces!" "Uncle An, the President can’t return for the next few days. There's been an issue in China, and two securities firms might go bankrupt. You know how meticulous and serious the President is when it comes to work. I don’t think he’ll return until the situation in China becomes stable,” Lin Yue said to Uncle An, telling him the truth. "Please take care of the matters in the family for me, Uncle An, and let's go check on the Madam." "Secretary Lin, can you see that something like this happened and he still doesn't come home to comfort his grandma? What does he think of us?" Gao Suqing cried, unable to hold back her tears. "Madam, the President really isn't in Canada,” Lin Yue said, in a difficult position. "The companies in China are on the verge of collapsing. The President left this morning and he probably won't be back for a day or two." She could only tell the truth. "On the verge of collapsing? I wish all those damn companies of his would collapse, so what if he runs around all the time for 365 days a year, what's the point of having so many companies?” Gao Suqing said, her anger growing every time she spoke about his companies. "Ah, what's the point of having all that money, it would be better if he just gave me a grandson soon," Gao Suqing said, looking at Lin Yue. "Secretary Lin, does Chun'er have a steady girlfriend now?" "The President has been very busy lately. He doesn’t have time for a girlfriend, but the person who would know best isn’t me, it’s An Da.” “An Da, just thinking about An Da makes me angry too. Ah, the two of them work so well together, it's like they're two halves of a whole and they’re also seamless. It’s been said that they’ve been giving the women they slept with birth control pills for about ten years." "What does Sima Chun think of our words? His grandma and I told him to find someone to marry within a month, and he ignored us. He doesn't care about us anymore.” Lin Yue and Uncle An were silent. "Uncle An, in a week it will be the Old Madam’s 80th birthday. Please send out invitations, inviting dignitaries and socialites from Canada, and those female celebrities from the entertainment industry. Remember, the more women who come the better. Do you understand what I mean?” Gao Suqing thought to herself, Chun’er, An Da, let’s see who is more powerful in the end. “Understood, Madam,” Uncle An replied respectfully. “Secretary Lin, please tell your big president that if he doesn’t come back for his grandma’s 80th birthday, then I'll just pretend that I never had this son.” “Okay, Madam, I think the President will definitely come back.” “He better come back.” Gao Suqing gave a mysterious smile, a perfect plan was unfolding in her mind. “Madam, are you feeling any better?” The director said as he pushed the door open. “Director, please come and sit here. I want to say a few words to you,” Gao Suqing said, pointing to the stool beside her. "Madam, please just call me Wen Qiang," the director said humbly. “You’re a very skillful doctor, you’re strict in running this hospital, and you're amiable; you’re a worthy director. Under your leadership, Conmin Hospital has made a profit every year. The Old Madam always praises you,” “Thank you, Old Madam.” “I was having tea with your mother a few days ago, and I heard that you’re getting married next month. Congratulations to you,” Gao Suqing said, smiling. "Thank you, Madam, please come and attend my wedding." “The Old Madam and I will both be there. You’re so sensible and you’re about to get married, and then there’s Chun'er, who knows when he'll ever get married. It's so frustrating!” She became angry every time she mentioned Sima Chun. “Madam and Old Madam, don’t worry, I think it’ll be soon,” the director said with a knowing smile. “Really? Do you know something I don’t? You should know some things about him, since you two have been friends for so many years," Gao Suqing really wanted to get some information from him. “Madam, I think the President will be considering his wedding soon. What I mean is, Madam, you don’t need to worry.” He wouldn’t dare say anything he knew, Sima Chun would probably kill him if he knew. Not worry? How can I not worry when I ended up living here? Sima Chun, you’re about to get what’s coming to you. For three days, Sima Qing had been sitting on the sofa, hugging a pillow and staring blankly into space. For another three days, she started pacing back and forth in the room, and every time she heard footsteps in the hallway, she would immediately open the door to look, only to close it again, her face filled with disappointment. Is it because I’m too free that I’m thinking of him? So she started busying herself with chores, and when she washed clothes his face would appear in the water, and when she mopped the floor, his shadow would appear on the floor, and when she cleaned the table, his shadow would sway on the surface, she even went to talk with her mother, but her mother’s face instantly became his face. What should I do? Am I sick? “Qing’er, it seems like you’ve been having something on your mind these past few days?” Qing’er’s mother dismissed the nurse, wanting to talk with her daughter alone. “Mom, I’m fine,” “Qing’er, tell me, I can help you analyze it, okay?” “I really am fine,” she said, wanting to keep this secret to herself. My daughter has really grown up. “Qing’er, you’re going to be sixteen soon, I want to tell you a few things from my heart.” She knew her condition was severe, and if she didn’t say these things now she might not have a chance later. “Mom, go ahead,” Qing'er’s mother took a sip of water and slowly said: “When girls are young, they have a lot of hopes and dreams, but as they get older, you’ll realize more and more that today is the future from yesterday. So, you must quickly find happiness, quickly find love, and quickly feel life." "If you feel that he’s truly the one you love, then you must love him firmly and without any hesitation. You need to have confidence and resolve in yourself, and trust your own choices and judgment.” “When you’ve said what you want to say, and done what you want to do, you’ll realize that the sky is so blue, and you are so lovely. It’s not because you got what you wanted, it’s because you are living for yourself.” "Mom's words are so wonderful, thank you, Mom.” “Qing’er, remember my words. You must live for yourself, and do the things you want to do.”
