Chapter 236 Jing Zhou, I don’t have much time left
Chapter 236 Jing Zhou, I don’t have much time left
Two years after returning to China, Ji Niannian and Gu Buwang gave birth to a son.
After her grandson was born, Ye Zisan ended her life living abroad and lived alone in her own house in Haicheng, going to the Gu family villa to see her grandson every week.
Every time I go to the Gu family, I can't avoid spending time with Gu Jingzhou.
The two children still hope that they can get back together, but after traveling around the world for several years, Ye Zisan has broadened her mind a lot.
She had completely given up hope.
Because she has completely understood Gu Jingzhou.
During her travels over the past few years, she has met several men of different nationalities who have expressed interest in her or wanted to formally pursue her.
Some were older than her, some were the same age as her, and some were several years younger than her.
Some pursue her romantically and passionately.
But she rejected them all because she had no feelings for them and didn't want to force herself to start one.
Once upon a time, she thought that in old age, as long as there was affection between husband and wife, it would be enough.
After traveling around the world and seeing everything, she finally understood herself. In fact, she and Gu Jingzhou had the same outlook on love.
No matter what age you are, it is really difficult to compromise if you don't love the other person.
Instead of settling, it is better to be single, to cherish the most beautiful love in your heart and live your life freely.
This is also a romantic life, no worse than a life of compromise.
That’s exactly what Gu Jingzhou thought.
Every time Ye Zisan came to Gu's house to see the children, he never showed any desire to reconcile or any ambiguous expression towards her.
The two now get along like old friends.
We talked about our kids and our past experiences in the business world, that was all.
Both parties tacitly agreed not to mention the word "feelings".
Gu Buwang and Ji Niannian saw that they were getting along the same way every year and neither of them wanted any further progress, so they gradually gave up the idea of getting back together.
I think as long as they are both happy living like this, that's all that matters.
By the time they had their second child, Lin Jiahui had already passed away due to old age.
Gu Jingzhou has also completely let go of Gu's affairs and started his official retirement life.
Ji Xingyuan is also slowly letting go of the affairs of the Ji Group and letting his son Ji Yifan take care of it.
However, he was not completely idle.
Every weekday, he would go to the chairman's office of the 717 Hospital to do some work.
Because Su Xiaoxiao doesn't want to retire yet. She still works diligently in neurosurgery like an ordinary office worker.
As a doctor, the older you get, the more popular you become, and the more respected and trusted you become.
What's more, she is in good health and her medical skills are well-known throughout the country. There are many patients with serious illnesses who come to her for treatment every month.
She had already planned her career for life.
As long as her eyes and ears are still sharp and her fingers are nimble, she can still perform the surgery with ease.
Even if she lives to be over 90, she will continue to work on the front line as a brain surgeon.
Pour your passion for the medical profession to the last drop of your life.
Although Ji Xingyuan felt sorry for her because of the hardship she sometimes faced during surgery, he also admired and supported her.
He chose to accompany her as much as possible, and devoted his work to the hospital in his later years.
In this way, the two can not only go to get off work and eat together every day, but also have many common topics to talk about.
Compared to the couple who are still working in their later years, Gu Jingzhou's retirement life is not too idle either.
A few years after his retirement, he held an art exhibition.
This time, it was not for love, but purely for his personal hobby.
The exhibition displays the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers that he painted after his retirement.
As a result, he got to know some educated elderly friends who were different from his childhood friends who loved drinking and feasting. They were also friends who had the same interest in literature.
In his spare time, he would attend literary salons organized by these elderly friends.
Learn painting and calligraphy from them and cultivate your sentiments.
His past career success and fame have given him an extraordinary temperament, which has attracted the admiration of some middle-aged and elderly female intellectuals.
At several literary salons, there were women who expressed their love for him, either directly or indirectly.
But he politely declined all of them and always kept a proper distance from them like a gentleman.
When he was sixty-five, Ye Zisan was also sixty-five.
That year, Ye Zisan was diagnosed with breast cancer in the late stage in the hospital. She did not accept the doctor's advice for treatment.
Because she didn't want to spend the remaining time of her life in painful treatments.
She also did not tell any relatives or friends about her illness.
In the last days of her life, she chose to go on a domestic road tour alone.
Every time she drives to a new city or tourist attraction, she will take photos, check in, and post a beautiful circle of friends.
Everyone felt that she lived a very comfortable and free-spirited life in her later years, and no one doubted that she was actually a terminal cancer patient at that time.
After traveling for a few months, she realized that she was about to die, so she slowly drove back to Haicheng.
After returning to Haicheng, she went to the hospital alone for another check-up.
The doctor told her solemnly that the cancer cells in her body had spread severely and that she really didn't have much time left.
The result the doctor said was the same as what she had expected.
She smiled sadly and relievedly.
Rather than hearing an unknown result, she felt more at ease when she heard a bad but certain result, even though she was already feeling sick.
Standing at the hospital entrance, I looked up at the clear sky and the bustling vehicles and pedestrians on the street.
Her eyes were filled with a blurry light.
Then he raised his hand to wipe it, took a slow and deep breath, and took out his cell phone to call Gu Jingzhou.
In this life, she had loved him passionately and affectionately, and also loved him humbly and sadly.
Yet, nearing the end of her life, she still had no regrets.
Rather than being a so-called wise and strong woman who doesn't fall in love in order to avoid harm in advance.
She felt that she should take the risk of rejection and hurt and pursue the love of her life passionately and bravely so that she would have no regrets.
Only then can she be called a strong woman and live up to this short life.
"Jingzhou."
"Zishan, is there something wrong?" Gu Jingzhou was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard of the villa when he suddenly received a call from Ye Zishan. He was a little surprised.
They have rarely talked on the phone in recent years.
"Jingzhou, I don't have much time left... The doctor said I may only live for another week at most."
"What did you say?" Gu Jingzhou accidentally dropped the watering can in his left hand. "Where are you now? I'll come find you right away."
"I'm... at the entrance of the People's Hospital."
Feeling that Gu Jingzhou still cared about her, two lines of tears slid down Ye Zisan's face.
Because of this phone call, she did not humiliate herself.
"Okay, then you wait at the door. I'll have the driver drive over right away. We'll talk when I get there!"
