Zhao Dong was relieved when he learned that Sophie was safe and that it was a false alarm.
He called Wang Meng and told him that everything was fine, and asked him to go pick him up first.
After everything was arranged, Zhao Dong lifted his legs and left.
Halfway through, he seemed to remember something. When he looked back, he was frozen on the spot!
Meng Jiao stood alone by the balcony. The cold wind blew up her skirt, exposing two slender ankles.
In a daze, people were shivering from the cold.
Especially the helpless figure of her holding her shoulders makes people feel sad.
Zhao Dong was in a complicated mood. Under the change of mood, his tone became a little more apologetic, "I'm sorry..."
Meng Jiao didn't look back, as if laughing at herself, "Is she okay?"
Zhao Dong nodded, "It's okay, it was just a false alarm."
Meng Jiao ridiculed: "Since she is fine, why don't you leave? If you don't go to find her, why are you still here?"
Zhao Dong asked tentatively, "What about you?"
Meng Jiao laughed at herself, "Me? What can happen to me?"
"The daughter of a corrupt criminal is so shameless, what will happen to me?"
"Besides, even if something happens to me, who would care?"
"You? Do you care?"
Zhao Dong didn't know how to answer. Although he was eager to return, Meng Jiao was not in the right condition right now, so how could he leave with peace of mind.
He took a step forward and said, "Don't be like this..."
Meng Jiao scolded, "Don't come over here!"
Zhao Dong did not dare to move.
Meng Jiao continued to ask, "What am I like?"
"Who am I? Didn't you see clearly tonight?"
"I am Wei Dongming's mistress. For money, I can sell my body!"
"I am a conspirator. Sophie almost had an accident today, which is inseparable from me!"
"I'm a shameless mistress. I know you're getting married soon, but I still keep getting entangled with you!"
"Zhao Dong, am I right?"
Zhao Dong apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."
"Don't take it to heart because of some unintentional remarks."
"Come here first, it's cold outside."
Meng Jiao was disappointed and said, "What you said without meaning?"
"You are worried about Sophie, afraid that something will happen to her, so you can trample on my dignity without any scruples? Regardless of my feelings?"
"Zhao Dong, you said before that you want me to treat you as a friend."
"But what about you? How did you do it?"
"In your heart, I can't even compare to one of Sophie's fingers!"
After saying that, Meng Jiao turned around and started climbing up the steps on the balcony.
Zhao Dong's emotions were affected, and his body was like an arrow leaving the string, "Meng Jiao, what do you want to do?"
Meng Jiao ignored it and stretched out her hand outside the balcony, "Look how beautiful the night here is?"
"But I am like a passer-by. No matter how beautiful the night is, it is destined to have nothing to do with me!"
Zhao Dong slowly moved forward, "Don't be impulsive. If there is any misunderstanding about tonight, I am willing to apologize to you. You can come down first and talk about it later!"
Meng Jiao was depressed, "Zhao Dong, did you know that my mother passed away in the hospital a few days ago."
"They were just buried this morning."
Zhao Dong was stunned, "I'm sorry..."
"Why didn't you tell me? I should have gone to express my condolences."
Meng Jiao said to herself, "In this world, my only relative is my father."
"But he will be locked up in a detention center. Once the Wei family's charges are confirmed, what he will face is an endless sentence."
"I thought I still had a friend like you..."
Zhao Dong took another step forward, "I'm still your friend."
Meng Jiao suddenly turned around and laughed at herself, "Friend? Is this how you treat your friends?"
"Zhao Dong, becoming your friend is really the greatest luck in my life!"
"You go, Sophie is still waiting for you."
Zhao Dong stretched out his hand, "Come down first and let me take you home, okay?"
Meng Jiao took a deep breath and asked with a smile, "Zhao Dong, it's been a long time since I sang to you. Do you want to hear it?"
Zhao Dong didn't dare to provoke her, so he nodded and said, "I want to hear it."
Meng Jiao tapped her toes, and a melody slowly floated out of her mouth.
"I have had countless cold winds blow through my chest;
I was once forced to look up at the stars by distant dreams;
I have been ridiculed countless times, asking me to give up my music dream;
I have been swallowed up by countless pieces of loess, my surging energy;
I once wanted my singing to be the touching feeling of endless sinking;
I once regarded them as the rainbow after my storm;
I once left all the causes of my fall to time;
I once threw the opportunity right in front of me;"
A brief pause.
She looked up at the stars and began to cry.
"I once broke the complete mirror, and the pillow at night was full of tears;
How I wish I could go back to the past and give me another chance;
I want to say that in the past time, I didn’t care for anyone;
Apart from empty talk, everything is wrong..."
The voice became weaker and weaker, and the next moment, he stretched out his arms and let his body fall!
Zhao Dong rushed forward instantly and pulled her back just as she was about to fall.
After stumbling, the two of them rolled into a ball on the balcony.
Meng Jiao hit Zhao Dong hard on the shoulder and said with tears on her face: "Zhao Dong, why do you care about me?"
"Would you like me to jump down?"
"From now on, no one will cause you any trouble!"
Zhao Dong didn't care so much, he held her shoulders and comforted her: "I went a little too far tonight, I'm sorry."
"But for me, it's not worth this."
"Meng Jiao, you are a good girl and you deserve a better man to love you."
"I, Zhao Dong, really am not worthy of you."
"Besides, I'm lucky enough to have Sophie. I really don't dare to be greedy anymore..."
Meng Jiao stretched out her hand and slowly moved it towards Zhao Dong's cheek.
Zhao Dong wanted to hide, but seeing that she was in a bad mood, he couldn't bear it after all.
After rubbing for a moment, Meng Jiao suddenly asked: "Zhao Dong, if I had not backed down, if I had not given up."
"Sophie or me, who will you choose?"
Zhao Dong frowned, feeling overwhelmed.
Meng Jiao laughed, "It goes without saying, I already have the answer."
With that said, she pushed Zhao Dong away and stood up on her own, "Let's go!"
Zhao Dong also stood up and said, "I'll take you back."
Meng Jiao sneered, turned her back and said, "No need!"
"Don't worry, I died once just now, and I will never be so stupid again. From now on, I will only live for myself."
Zhao Dong turned around and said, "Then take care of yourself and I will apologize to you another day."
Meng Jiao suddenly said: "Zhao Dong, let me ask you again, do you really not regret choosing Sophie?"
Zhao Dong nodded, "I will have no regrets in this life!"
Meng Jiao smiled brightly, like a sunny girl, completely different from the sad girl just now, "Since I don't regret it, I wish you a happy wedding."
"Also, do you plan to let me go back like this?"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, took off his coat, stepped forward and put it on her body, "Be careful on the road."
Meng Jiao nodded, "I understand, you can go."
When Zhao Dong left, she also walked out of the door, her gaze fell to a certain corner, and her eyes narrowed slightly!
