Chapter 1375 Proposal and Choice!

"Xiao Wu."

Wu Mei looked at the "Simp Diary" displayed on the screen, along with the photos they had taken back then. Wu Wei, the legitimate author of the "Simp Diary," gazed affectionately at Wu Mei's face and spoke as the video ended.

"During these five years apart, I have thought about our reunion every single moment. When we finally met again, I was so happy and joyful. I vowed that I would definitely win you back and make you happy!"

Therefore, I don't mind competing with anyone!
I shouldn't have acted so hastily.

Unfortunately, my time is running out. It's not enough for me to prove myself with my actions and make up for lost time.

So I can't wait to tell you that I still love you!
I have always loved only you!
I want you to come back to me and marry me, just like I wanted to do when I first saw you, to marry you as my wife!
Wu Mei, are you willing?

While confessing his feelings, Wu Wei got out of the car, stepped out of the driver's seat, went to the passenger seat, opened the door, knelt down on one knee in front of Wu Mei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and formally proposed to her.

A number of people got out of the cars parked next to them; they were all Wu Wei's subordinates. They had booked the entire drive-in theater long ago.

Wu Mei was very touched by this, but then declined.

"Wu Wei, don't be like this. You should have confidence in modern medical technology. If it doesn't work in China, then go abroad!"
The most important thing right now is to treat the illness, not this!
I believe you have plenty of time!

Seeing that Wu Wei still wanted to persist, she immediately switched to a defensive stance: "Also, is your sudden change of heart influenced by He Chen? What did he say to you?"

Upon seeing this, Wu Wei repeated He Chen's words about the importance of getting married and having children while there was still time.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with He Chen saying these things to others.

But he still underestimated the impact of this news.

He Chen's words were indeed correct, but firstly, they came from He Chen, Wu Mei's enemy, and secondly, they made Wu Mei very uncomfortable.

"You listen to him again!" Wu Mei was furious. "Who is he to you? And who are Wu Di and me to you?"

You don't listen to us, but you listen to him!
Isn't Wu Di your relative?

Do you need to delay your treatment, yet you're eager to get married and have children?
Are your own flesh and blood really that important?
Wu Wei, you've been abroad, how come your thinking is still so narrow?
No wonder there's always been some distance between you and Wu Di; it turns out he sensed that you were holding back from him!

"..." Wu Wei was completely stunned by the power of this punch, which represented decades of skill.

As for?
But seeing Wu Mei's anger, he couldn't help but fall silent and reflect.

Could it be that all these years, he treated his half-brother Wu Di like his own son, sacrificing his own happiness to provide him with the best Beijing residency, the best education, a house, a car, and to clean up his messes, yet Wu Di never showed him any warmth in return, leading to Wu Di's constant estrangement? Was it because he didn't truly consider Wu Di family?

Seeing that her words had made Wu Wei reflect on his actions, Wu Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

Her outburst was indeed partly due to the fact that Wu Wei was listening to He Chen again and had become someone who was no longer the same Wu Wei.

There are also real interests to consider!

Wu Wei is now diagnosed with cancer and is nearing the end of his life. If things had gone according to Wu Wei's previous character and behavior, he would definitely have left his hard-earned wealth to his only two family members.

That is, her and Wu Di!
All she needs to do is be with the younger Wu Di to perfectly acquire this huge fortune!

With both wealth and good fortune, life is carefree and joyful!

But if Wu Wei listens to He Chen now and tries to have a child of his own as soon as possible, the outcome will be completely different.

First, he wants to marry her.

Once this is settled, she might quickly receive a share of the assets, but Wu Di, that young, lecherous man, especially one with the special label of her husband's younger brother, might end up with nothing. After all, Wu Di isn't like her, able to disregard the opinions of others.

He was able to take her on because he felt it was okay to date freely, since she was his older brother's ex-girlfriend.

But once he gets married, he'll be a real sister-in-law, and after his elder brother Wu Wei dies, he'll be a widow. If he tries to cover up his shame by talking about freedom of love, people will definitely point fingers at him and gossip about him!
This is, after all, a domestic film, not an animated film about a life of comfort and happiness, and certainly not an American film about taking care of one's sister-in-law to the point of bedtime!
So by choosing this option, she went from getting both money and people, and taking everything for herself, to only being able to take a portion of what she wanted.

Moreover, if she gets pregnant, her career will be severely impacted. It is already difficult for women to find employment, especially for older female executives. There is a risk that they could be replaced and disappear from the workplace completely.

She certainly didn't want to go from being a charismatic and powerful female CEO to a widow with only a little money.

Even with the compensation of half her financial freedom, it would still be a huge loss for her.

Moreover, she doesn't want to live off her inheritance; once it's all gone, that kind of pressure is undesirable.

As for getting pregnant first and then intentionally having an abortion later?

That would be extremely harmful to the body.

She's getting old; she shouldn't torment herself to death before Wu Wei dies.

As for secretly taking medicine, does that mean you're not pregnant?

It's not impossible.

But why?

She could have easily gained both love and money without putting in any effort, and taken advantage of everyone. Why did she have to put herself through all this trouble?

Is it because He Chen was too talkative?

She absolutely refused!
Thinking of this, her expression grew even colder and angrier.

Before she met He Chen, she lived a very comfortable and smooth-sailing life.

Even though she's getting older and feeling the pressure of aging more and more, after returning to China, she first had younger men to flirt with, and then her financially independent ex-boyfriend as a backup. Now she knows that her financially independent ex-boyfriend has cancer and doesn't have long to live. He has no wife, no children, and nothing at all.

As long as she's with the young man, she can have everything she wants, enjoy life without effort, and live a happy life without ever suffering a single day.

But after meeting He Chen, she was not only subjected to all kinds of humiliation and insults, but now she is facing such a torturous choice during a crucial period of her life when she is striving to start a business.

He Chen deliberately messed with her!
What's even more infuriating isn't the physical kind!
"Sigh, it seems I was wrong." Wu Wei sighed with great complexity, but did not explain exactly where he went wrong.

Was it wrong to treat one's half-brother, whom one raised as a son, as an outsider?
He was wrong to propose to his first love at this time, making her a widow, or even a widow with a child.

Or perhaps all his persistence over the years has ultimately been in vain.

Wu Mei sensed the complexity in his sigh, but did not respond.

She still felt that responding was not a wise choice, nor did it align with her interests, compared to remaining silent without accepting, refusing, or taking responsibility.

However, she couldn't let the awkward situation continue, so she started to care about Wu Wei's health and suggested that he find the best doctor, or even go abroad if necessary, and that active treatment was the best option right now.

Wu Wei nodded in agreement, and without saying anything more, drove her home.
