Tong Jiangxin didn't know when Lu Chengxi left. For a moment, she even wanted Lu Chengxi to meet McGallo, so that she could face McGallo's disappointed and mocking eyes towards her, and she wouldn't have to hide it.
Thanks for your hard work.
Lying alone on the large bed, Tong Jiangxin gradually turned sideways, curled up together, covering her face with her arms, and cried softly.
Early the next morning, Tong Jiangxin left the Four Seasons Hotel and took the earliest flight back to Hong Kong. Standing downstairs in Dongzheng, Tong Jiangxin called Liao Jianing.
Liao Jianing was at work. When she heard Tong Jiangxin say that she was downstairs, she immediately took the elevator and rushed down.
Tong Jiangxin was wearing a thin white shirt, with her long silky hair hanging casually on her shoulders. She was standing sideways, and the autumn sunshine hit her body, casting a light golden halo.
"Jiang Xin".
Liao Jianing shouted.
Tong Jiangxin turned around. She had such a beautiful face, her features were as delicate as porcelain, but her eyes were red and bloodshot at this time.
Liao Jianing's heart skipped a beat. She stepped forward and said with worry on her face, "What's wrong?"
What happened to this sentence made Tong Jiangxin's grievance that she had been holding back collapse instantly, tears streaming down her face, she hugged Liao Jianing, buried her face in her shoulder, and softly spat.
Liao Jianing patted Tong Jiangxin on the back and said nothing.
Under the Dongzheng building, there were many people coming and going. When everyone passed by, they all cast their eyes on these two beautiful women. Their eyes were different, but for Tong Jiangxin at this moment, she no longer cared.
.
After crying for five minutes, Tong Jiangxin straightened up. Liao Jianing reached out to wipe away her tears. She didn't ask why, but just said, "Do you want to come stay with me for a few days?"
Tong Jiangxin shook his head and replied with a thick nasal voice, "No, I don't worry about Uncle Cheng being alone at home."
Liao Jianing immediately said, "Then I will stay at your place for a few days."
Tong Jiangxin nodded like a child, tears tending to well up again.
Liao Jianing spoke up, "Can you be careful in public places? A couple passed by just now. I saw the expressions on their faces when they looked at us, and I was sure that we were gay!"
Tong Jiangxin said in a low voice, "I have never seen a woman seek comfort from a woman?!"
Liao Jianing gave her a roll of his eyes, and then said, "I have never seen a woman cry so miserably on top of another woman in public!"
Tong Jiangxin pursed her lips, finally realizing her mistake and stopped talking.
Liao Jianing said out loud, "I'll go up and ask for leave. Please wait for me for a while."
Tong Jiangxin immediately said, "You don't need to ask for leave to accompany me. I'm fine. You just go to your class and I will continue to work."
Liao Jianing looked at Tong Jiangxin, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Okay, if you need anything, just call me and I will go directly to your house in the evening."
Tong Jiangxin nodded, and then watched Liao Jianing return to Dongzheng.
Walking back alone, Tong Jiangxin's heart did not feel any less stressful after crying. She ran away again and again, but she didn't know who she was hiding from, was it McGallo? Or Lu Chengxi?
Sighing, Tong Jiangxin took a taxi back to Tong's house. Such a huge villa was empty and there was no trace of popularity. The former grandeur was still there, but those people had gone their separate ways.
When Uncle Cheng saw Tong Jiangxin coming back, he smiled and said, "The eldest lady is back."
Tong Jiangxin didn't want Uncle Cheng to see her eyes red from crying, so she put on her sunglasses before entering the door. At this time, she also replied with a smile, "Uncle Cheng, Jia Ning will come in the evening, I will accompany you later."
You go shopping and cook two more dishes tonight."
Uncle Cheng replied, "Okay, then I'll go get ready."
Tong Jiangxin nodded, "I'll go upstairs and change clothes."
Turning around and going upstairs to her bedroom, Tong Jiangxin couldn't help but exhale. She didn't know how long she would have to keep smiling like this.
When Liao Jianing came to Tong's house in the evening, Uncle Cheng and Tong Jiangxin were busy in the kitchen. Liao Jianing washed her hands and came over. Tong Jiangxin said, "You don't need to get started. This is all ready. Dinner will be served soon."
Liao Jianing took the dish that Tong Jiangxin had just put on the plate, brought it to the table, picked up the chopsticks on one side, took a bite, and said, "It's delicious."
Tong Jiangxin smiled lightly and replied, "That's right, you don't even care who did it."
Liao Jianing turned his head and looked at Uncle Cheng who was standing aside, and then said, "Uncle Cheng, you picked the dish? You are really discerning. Anyone can make this dish delicious."
Uncle Cheng chuckled and replied, "Miss Liao just knows how to talk."
The three of them cooked six dishes and one soup. It was never boring when Liao Jianing was around. Everyone enjoyed the meal, at least on the surface.
After eating, Tong Jiangxin and Liao Jianing asked Uncle Cheng to go out to rest while they cleaned up the kitchen.
At the sink, Tong Jiangxin washed the dishes, while Liao Jianing wiped the dishes with a clean white towel.
"Do you want to leave Hong Kong early?"
Liao Jianing asked in a calm voice.
Tong Jiangxin paused slightly. She had told Liao Jianing that she would leave Hong Kong in half a year.
After a moment of silence, Tong Jiangxin replied, "Well, I was just thinking about it."
Liao Jianing didn't look at Tong Jiangxin, she just said, "You are too considerate of others. It was Uncle Tong in the past, then your second mother and Jiang Hao, and now it's to return favors. Have you ever thought about how you think about them so much?
Then who has your best interests at heart?”
Tong Jiangxin was left speechless by Liao Jianing's question. Yes, she had known for a long time that the people she did to were selfish to some extent, but she loved those people too much or was indebted, so she had to feel wronged.
Own.
"I knew before that life is just like this. Whoever treats me well will be treated well. This has nothing to do with family, love, friendship, or any affection. Jiang Xin, when will you think more about yourself?
Love yourself a little more, and you won’t live so hard.”
Tong Jiangxin lowered her gaze and looked at the foamy water in the drain pool. After a long while, she replied, "Jianing, sometimes I also think that I am you, so that I can at least live a more relaxed life, but I am still not you.
And...if you make one wrong step, you will be in doom and gloom, and you can never look back..."
Of course Liao Jianing knew what Tong Jiangxin was referring to. After a long silence, she spoke up, "To him, are you really unable to look back, or do you not want to look back?"
Tong Jiangxin's eyes trembled slightly and her heart skipped a beat.
Lu Chengxi... The track of her life has deviated from the first time she met this man. He took her with him to hell. He said he would go to hell with her.
