After that, Mindy Wu got up, took Fade Chen’s hand and prepared to leave.
Boris Song's eyes narrowed when he saw this. He immediately stood up and blocked Mindy from leaving. "Mindy, are we really not able to reconcile with each other?" he asked.
Mindy shook her head and said, "The scars of the past six years are etched deeply in me. Even if you attempted a surgical procedure, it would be impossible for total recovery. Also,love and relationships are not like plastic surgery."
"Then, Fish..." Boris said.
Mindy's voice was a little cold. She said, "Fish doesn't know who you are. She does not recognize you as her father. Please don't harass her!"
After she said that, Mindy left with Fade.
Boris yelled as they left, "Mindy, Mindy."
"What else do you want ?" Mindy asked. She turned around and looked at Boris.
Boris looked hesitant, and he finally said, "Mindy, I know that I made mistakes in the past. I also know that we can't be together
again, and I am not qualified to call myself Fish's father. I only have one last request. Can you agree to it?"
When she saw that a person that she used to love was begging her, Mindy could not resist him. She softened her stance toward him and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Boris' s eyes flashed with joy, and he said, "Mindy, I want to meet my father-in-law... Oh... Mr. Wu. Can you arrange this meeting for me?"
Mindy was rather surprised. She did not expect Boris to make such a request. She could not help but ask curiously, "Why do you want to see my father?"
Boris said lightly, "The corporation that I work for in Micovia intends to build a factory at Bay City. There are some procedures that I don't understand. After the corporation discovered that my father- in- law was the former mayor, they asked me to inquire about these matters."
Although Boris tried to be as polite as possible, Fade and Mindy could read between the lines.
Mindy, who was feeling emotional, looked at Boris in incredulity. She shook her head and said sadly, "Boris, it's been six years. I thought maybe you had changed. Perhaps you had changed because of our child, or because of our past feelings."
"But I was wrong. I was completely wrong. I shouldn’t have felt hopeful when I met you," Mindy said, and she shook her head. She continued, "You are still the same as you were six years ago, and perhaps you are even more selfish now. Every action that you take is solely for your own benefit."
"I contemplated our issues for a long time. However, I still could not foresee this request. After six years, you wanted to look for me just to meet my father, and ask him for assistance with the construction of this factory."
"From now on, I want nothing to do with you."
Mindy spoke, and she turned and left.The expression on her face was sad, angry, but slightly relieved.
Boris chased after her and tried to explain himself. He said, "Mindy, no, it's not what you think. The matter of the factory is just a side issue. Today, I'm truly here for you!"
Such sweet words had no effect on her at this moment. Mindy strode away without looking back.
Boris quickly caught up with her and wanted to grab Mindy’s arm.
Fade turned around and blocked Boris. He said coldly, "Stop it. Stop chasing after her. Sister Mindy has said that she wants nothing to do with you in the future."
Boris seemed rather anxious. He pushed Fade away angrily and shouted, "Get out of my way. You'd better not intervene in my affairs, otherwise..."
Mindy wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes and said, "Fish, you are a good girl. What were you doing at the playground just now?"
"I enjoyed myself. There was a merry- go-round, and there was this strange fish which was very big. It had a big mouth and big eyes..." Fish Song said in a childish manner, and she gesticulated in a dramatic manner. Her sweet manner caused Mindy's mood to improve, and she started to smile again.
At this moment, she glanced toward the cafe. She picked Fish up and said, "Fish, Mummy will give you another name,is that alright?"
"Why do you want to change my name?" The little girl asked in confusion. "Isn't 'Fish' a good name?"she continued.
"Fish is a good name! I just want to call you Fish Wu,is that alright?" Mindy asked.
The little girl muttered to herself, "Fish Song, Fish Wu, both names are called Fish. Mom's surname is Wu, grandpa's surname is Wu. Yes, I want to call myself Fish Wu, just like my mom and my grandpa."
"Good, good girl! Mom will bring you to change your name right now!" Mindy said.
Then, she glanced at Fade. She nodded gratefully and said, "Fade, thank you for your help today."
Fade looked at the smile on Mindy's face and realized that she had finally let go of her ex-husband. He nodded and said, "Sister Mindy, you're too polite. If you need any help in the future, just let me know."
"Don't worry, I will ask you if I need your help," Mindy said with a smile.
The little girl also turned her head and said loudly to Fade, "Brother Superman, Fish will ask you for help too."
"Alright, once Fish asks me for help, I'll be there immediately !" Fade said, and he waved his hand with a smile, saying farewell to the both of them.
