My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 257 A Chance Encounter in Country B

The night before I left Hancheng, I suddenly received a call from Song Yafei for some unknown reason.

It was late at night. I had just finished packing my things and sat down when I received her call.

I don't know how she got my number.

However, finding out was a piece of cake for her.

Just like how I knew it was hers the moment I saw the number.

I hesitated for a few seconds, but still answered her call.

"..."

Before I could even speak, her voice came through.

"it's me."

In the dead of night, her voice suddenly came through, and I couldn't quite describe the feeling in my heart.

I went to the balcony and gave a soft "hmm." "So late, is something wrong?"

Perhaps it was because my tone was distant and unfamiliar that Song Yafei remained silent for a long time on the phone.

Only her breathing could be heard.

After a long pause, she finally responded, "No, I just... wanted to hear your voice."

Upon hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, unable to describe the feeling in my heart.

But to avoid making her overthink, I gave a cold laugh.

"President Song, we are not the kind of people who can have heart-to-heart talks late at night."

Get some rest.

After saying that, I hung up the phone without hesitation.

……

The next day, I boarded a plane to Country B with Yue Ming and his wife, and Lin Qiuran came to see me off.

For some reason, Lin Qiuran's expression was somewhat unusual when she handed me the bag.

"What's wrong? Are you worried that the burden on your shoulders is too heavy and you can't handle it?"

After Han Nian and I left, the responsibility of running the restaurant fell on Lin Qiuran, as well as Wu Qian and the child.

At the time, I mistakenly thought that was the reason.

Later I found out it was because he had been hiding some things.

Before the plane took off, I started to panic. When Han Nian and the others weren't paying attention, I shoved a few pills into my mouth.

After a flight of more than ten hours, Yue Ming took me to a hotel owned by The Green.

He originally wanted to take me to my in-laws' house, but I wanted to be more comfortable and it would be more convenient to go out and run errands, so I stayed outside.

After arriving at the hotel, I slept for more than ten hours because of jet lag. When I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Starving, I went out to find something to eat and was unexpectedly drawn to an old-fashioned record store.

It's very appealing to me; it has that old-fashioned feel that I really like.

Moreover, it has a strong local flavor, and Yue Ming also likes these old records.

I even thought that adding these elements to their wedding would be a good idea.

Just as I was about to go into the store, an elderly couple was pushed out.

Judging from what the shop assistant said, it seemed that the old man was interested in the display item, which the owner cherished and wouldn't sell.

That's perfectly reasonable.

The old lady looked very sad and leaned on the old man.

Seeing them so upset, I couldn't help but take out a tissue and hand it to them.

When the two elderly people noticed my presence, they both looked at me in astonishment, their eyes even showing a surprise I couldn't understand.

I didn't understand, and thought that I had acted abruptly.

After all, I don't understand some of the older generation's thoughts and rules.

"I apologize, I was a little carried away, and I hope I did not offend you."

The two elderly people stared at me for a long time before they came to their senses.

"No, not at all! On the contrary, I thank you for your kindness."

It's best if they don't mind.

I told them, "Actually, you can still find a few old records like these."

"If you two are really looking for it, you can leave me your phone number. If I find it, I can contact you."

The two elderly people beamed with joy. "That's wonderful! But, wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

"No! I also need to find a few records recently, it's just a small favor."

"that would be great!"

I don't know why I meddle in other people's business; it's not like that at all.

But seeing the two elderly people so sad, I felt a little sorry for them.

I really couldn't help myself!

Fortunately, the two elderly people did not refuse.

But then, for some reason, the old lady suddenly pointed at me and asked the old man, "Jianguo, look how much he looks like our Mumu!"

Mu Mu?

Is it a girl's name?

The old man looked at me apologetically and explained.

“Mumu was our daughter. She left us a long time ago, so my husband…”

"Young man, please be understanding!"

I quickly shook my head, afraid they would misunderstand.

It's unbelievable that they were parents who had to send off their children; no wonder the old lady mistook him for someone else—she was probably confused from grief.

I chatted with the two elderly people for a few more minutes, and they left me their business cards.

I had other things to do, so I left first.

If I looked back at that moment, I would see the deep reluctance in the eyes of the two elderly people.

The next day, while I was strolling around, I discovered a restaurant I used to frequent, the kind of restaurant that Uncle Feng really liked.

I walked in without realizing it, found a seat on the side, and instantly a flood of memories came back to me.

Uncle Feng gave money to Song Yafei so that I could break up with her.

At first, I was unwilling, and even resentful towards Uncle Feng, holding back my anger.

She thought that she would make something of herself in the future to show Uncle Feng, and even wanted to go back to find Song Yafei.

But what's happening now seems to be telling me that I was indeed wrong back then.

Thinking about all this, I laughed at myself.

A while ago, I heard from who-knows-where that Uncle Feng was in Country B, but I don't know if it's true or not.

I don't know when we'll be able to meet again.

As I was gazing absently at the bustling traffic outside, someone quietly approached me and sat down opposite me.

When I came to my senses, Uncle Feng had already taken off his hat and was looking at me with a slight smile.

When I saw Uncle Feng again, I was overjoyed. My eyes stung, and my throat felt blocked. It took me a long time to finally call out, "Uncle Feng."

Uncle Feng joked, "Alright, you still recognize me, Uncle Feng. I thought you had long forgotten me."

Uncle Feng's words immediately made me blush with shame.

Over the years, although we've kept in touch occasionally, it hasn't changed the fact that I've deliberately avoided it.

When I saw Uncle Feng again, he didn't blame me; instead, he made me feel extremely guilty.

Uncle Feng sighed, placed his hand on the back of my hand, and patted it. "I know about your situation. You've suffered!"

"But it's all over now. Ending a bad marriage or relationship is like cutting off rotten flesh from your body; things will always get better."

Uncle Feng picked up the menu. "We can't eat anything too oily right now, right? The taste hasn't changed, has it?"

I looked at Uncle Feng with some surprise, wondering how he knew all this.

Uncle Feng called over a waiter and ordered several dishes, all of which were light and refreshing, just the way I like them.

After the waiter left, Uncle Feng smiled and said, "Is it strange that your uncle knows about your affairs?"

"But you need to explain to me why you came here and didn't contact me. What were you thinking? Don't you plan to acknowledge me as your uncle anymore?"

"How could that be!" I quickly explained, "I was just afraid that you, Uncle Feng, wouldn't want to see me!"
