My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

After what happened that day, Shen Yi was depressed for a long time. Whenever he thought of the hardships Momo had faced alone, he felt so heartbroken that the whole world seemed a little dim.

After learning that Momo suffered from depression and anxiety, I suppressed the urge to get close to her and talk to her.

He knew that he couldn't bother Momo too much at this moment, for fear of causing her disgust and annoyance.

Shen Yi used his own and Zhou Qizhen's personal connections to contact the most authoritative oncologist to consult with Qin Momo. When he learned that everything was under control, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Momo gradually realized that her work had been going surprisingly smoothly recently. Even the companies that were usually difficult to deal with thought her advertising ideas were very good and all of them adopted her ideas.

This caused her to suddenly become so busy that she didn't even have time to go out for part-time work, but the company also gave her a lot of subsidies in terms of salary.

This kind of life made Qin Momo feel that everything had purpose. Her illness was under control, her debts were decreasing day by day, and even the weight she gained due to hormones was changing every day.

Now she just feels that being able to survive is a very good thing.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of Lu Xiaoqiao and Zhou Qizhen’s wedding.

As bridesmaids, Qin Momo and Lin Lin had to stop the groom and best man at the door.

Zhou Qizhen was wealthy and generous, so he gave each of the two bridesmaids a red envelope without saying a word.

When Lin Lin handed one of the red envelopes to Qin Momo, she was stunned for a moment. Because the red envelope was too thick, she didn't dare to take it for a moment and subconsciously retracted her hand. In the end, Lin Lin forced it into her hand.

On the way to the hotel, the two of them secretly opened it and took a look while sitting in the car.

"Wow! Momo! There are 50,000 yuan! And there's a small gold bar inside! How can there be a gold bar? I've never heard of such a custom!"

Qin Momo was holding the heavy red envelope, feeling a little helpless. The wedding red envelope she gave to Lu Xiaoqiao was only two thousand yuan.

"This should be returned to Mr. Zhou! It's so much."

Lin Lin hurriedly helped her put it into her bag. "How is that possible? Once you give it to us, it's ours. There's no reason to give it back! Just take it with you. My uncle has money."

Qin Momo said excitedly and somewhat helplessly, "Well, alright then! I didn't expect you to give me so much. I'm a little hesitant to accept it!"

"Hehe! Being a bridesmaid is so nice. I asked you to come earlier, but you didn't come. Sister Jia will probably regret it to death if she knows!"

Qin Momo couldn't help laughing.

In the back row of the groomsmen's car, Li Yuxuan glanced at Shen Yi and teased, "This red envelope can't hold too much. Otherwise, do you want to put two gold bars in it?"

Shen Yi closed his eyes tightly and leaned his head against the back of the car seat: "With this money, Momo can pay off all her foreign debts!"

Li Yuxuan raised his eyebrows: "You don't say anything, and you always play the good guy behind the scenes. When will you be able to pursue her again? I heard from Lao Zhou that you handed over all the advertising planning of your company to their company?"

Shen Yi hummed, opened his eyes and looked out the window: "I just want her to stop suffering so much. My Momo has suffered too much!"

Li Yuxuan sighed lightly when he heard this, thinking that his brother had suffered a lot for love.

……

During the wedding, Shen's father and mother's eyes were fixed on Shen Yi. Since he knew about that incident last time, he never returned home and even spent the New Year alone outside.

Several months later, it was only when the Zhou family held a wedding that he was able to see his son from afar.

Just as Zhou Qi was carrying the bride to their table to toast, he suddenly realized when he got closer that the bride's bridesmaid was Qin Momo.

The old couple were both shocked by this and looked at Qin Momo, who was helping the bride pour water, with complicated emotions.

Shen Yi, who ignored his parents the whole time, only had eyes for Qin Momo. He helped her straighten her skirt, and asked her if she was tired. His cautious look made the old couple feel sad.

Mother Shen's eyes were red with sadness, but she also knew what day it was, so no matter how sad she was, she just held back her tears.

After the wedding, Qin Momo went to the lounge to change her clothes. As soon as she came out, she was blocked at the door by Shen's mother: "Momo! Can I talk to you?"

The two came to a small cafe near the hotel.

Mother Shen looked at Qin Momo in front of her. In her memory, Qin Momo was a girl who was full of energy, lively and cheerful.

But now, she exudes a sense of weakness, and her originally lively eyes now reveal a kind of fatigue that comes from having experienced many things.

Mother Shen felt a trace of pity and self-blame in her heart. All this was because of her.

Qin Momo was feeling uneasy at the moment, not knowing where to put her hands. No one would remain calm if they were being talked to by their ex-boyfriend's mother.

But Shen's mother didn't say anything for a long time. I looked up at her and saw that her eyes were red and filled with tears.

"Aunt?"

Qin Momo's call of "Auntie" made Shen's mother unable to hold back any longer, and tears overflowed from her eyes.

"Momo! It's Auntie's fault! It was Auntie who did something wrong, which led to that misunderstanding between you and Shen Yi. He has you in his heart. Can you please forgive Auntie and stop blaming Shen Yi?"

Qin Momo lowered her eyes and was silent: "Auntie, I have never blamed anyone. Shen Yi and I...let it go!"

Shen's mother hurriedly grabbed her hand and said in a tearful voice, "You can't go over there. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, please give my Shen Yi another chance! If he loses you again this time, he won't be able to survive."

Qin Momo was stunned, thinking that what Shen's mother said was a bit exaggerated. No one in this world would die because of someone else's absence, including herself. She had survived well, hadn't she?

"Auntie! No, don't think too much."

Shen's mother suddenly became a little excited: "Yes, Momo, believe me, he really will. You don't know, he almost died after you broke up last time. Shen Yi..."

"mom!"

A sudden shout interrupted Shen's mother's words.

After Shen Yi discovered that Qin Momo was missing, he anxiously looked for her everywhere. Someone said that they saw her coming to the coffee shop, so they hurried over to find her.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard what Shen's mother said.

Shen Yi walked over to the two of them, shielded Qin Momo behind him, and looked at Shen's mother with resentful eyes: "Who asked you to look for her?"

Mother Shen hurriedly explained: "Mom didn't say anything, I just wanted Momo to give you a chance."

Shen Yi sneered: "Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say that?"

Every word her son said was like an icicle, piercing Shen's mother's heart, and more tears welled up in her eyes.

Qin Momo stood behind Shen Yi at a loss, wanting to say something, but before she could open her mouth, she was pulled away by Shen Yi.

When Shen's mother saw the two of them were about to leave, she knew that if she didn't say those words today, she would never have another chance, even if the consequence of saying them was that her son would hate her even more.

"Momo!"

Qin Momo wanted to stop, but Shen Yi wouldn't let her.

"Shen Yi suffered from severe depression after breaking up with you. He lost dozens of pounds due to anorexia and nearly died. You can hate me all you want, but stop torturing each other..."

Qin Momo was so shocked by what Shen's mother said that she stood there in a daze. She stared at Shen Yi blankly. The sounds around her seemed to be blocked out in an instant. The only sound that could enter her ears was her own rapid heartbeat.

Shen Yi's mouth kept opening and closing, as if he was talking to her anxiously, but she could not hear anything.

She just stood there motionless, with only endless bewilderment and deep-rooted pain in her expression.

When Qin Momo woke up again, she found herself lying on a hospital bed.

Shen Yi's haggard face caught her eye. It seemed as if he had just cried, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing that she woke up, tears welled up in his eyes again and he held her hands tightly.

The moment Qin Momo fainted, he was even ready to go with her!

"Don't listen to what my mom says, Momo! Compared to you, I don't deserve to be forgiven. I won't force you anymore! But don't chase me away. Just let me see you, okay?"

Qin Momo's tears flowed down her cheeks, full of contradictions and struggles, and finally turned into a single word "OK"

Seeing her crying, Shen Yi reached out to wipe her tears, but his own tears were even greater than hers.

He wanted nothing more than for Momo to be safe and sound, even if it meant sealing away his heartful of attachment, just to wait for a distant return...
