The two stood in front of the hotel and stared at each other for a long time. Finally, Tong Jiangxin looked away first.
Taking a breath secretly, she felt that there was no need to argue with Lu Chengxi about who was right and who was wrong. Some things were just different positions.
Turning around and walking to the other side of the street, Tong Jiangxin left her back to Lu Chengxi.
Lu Chengxi stood there for a few seconds and then followed.
When Tong Jiangxin heard Lu Chengxi's footsteps, she didn't look back, she just stepped forward. The cool breeze blew in the autumn night, and Tong Jiangxin couldn't help but put her arms around her shoulders.
A coat mixed with warmth and a familiar smell was wrapped around her body. Tong Jiangxin stopped and looked at the coat on her body. After being stunned for a few seconds, she then looked at Lu Chengxi.
There was no emotion in her eyes, she just said with cold sobriety, "What to do?"
Lu Chengxi, wearing a white shirt with delicate dark patterns, stood in front of Tong Jiangxin and looked at her. He replied lightly, "Don't look at me like that."
Her scrutinizing and vigilant gaze made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Tong Jiangxin looked away, then casually pulled the suit jacket off her back and pushed it to Lu Chengxi.
She couldn't keep her things, maybe they weren't hers in the first place; but she would never want his things again, because she didn't know when they would be taken away. Rather than being sad at that time, it would be better to start from the beginning.
It has never happened before.
Lu Chengxi couldn't see Tong Jiangxin's gaze, which was lowered. He just forcefully put his coat on Tong Jiangxin's body again.
Tong Jiangxin tugged at him a few times, and finally could only look at Lu Chengxi with a hint of annoyance.
Lu Chengxi had no expression on his face and just said, "If you don't like it, I'll throw it away when you get back."
After that, without waiting for Tong Jiangxin to say anything, Lu Chengxi turned around and walked towards the hotel under her gaze.
Lu Chengxi's coat was still on him, and his nose could faintly smell him, but he watched helplessly as he walked further and further away.
Tong Jiangxin's eyebrows twitched slightly, because she felt distressed.
During this period, specifically after returning from Singapore, Lu Chengxi seemed to have changed. Although he still had a tough attitude, he would care about Tong Jiangxin's thoughts. Sometimes, Tong Jiangxin would even be in a trance. He
Do you really want to apologize?
At business dinners with Lu's subsidiaries, Lu Chengxi would appear three times out of the five times. However, since the last incident in which Chengdu was fired for having a meal, the newly appointed boss was extremely polite to Tong Jiangxin, and also
I don't dare to flatter Lu Chengxi rashly. Who knows what kind of relationship there is between Lu Chengxi and Tong Jiangxin? I'm afraid that if I don't do a good job of flattering him, I will be doomed.
On the weekend, Tong Jiangxin and Liao Jianing met to go shopping and have dinner together. The two were sitting in a Western restaurant. Liao Jianing said, "Why did you send Jiang Hao back to the United States so early?"
No one knows better than Liao Jianing what Tong Jianghao means to Tong Jiangxin. Tong Jiangxin has always missed Tong Jianghao. This time he returned to Hong Kong from the United States, but Tong Jiangxin only let him stay in Hong Kong for two days before leaving in a hurry.
Send him back.
Tong Jiangxin gently toyed with the steak on the plate with her fork. After hearing this, she softly replied, "I don't want him to stay in Hong Kong."
Liao Jianing was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Do you know what trick Lu Chengxi wants to play again?"
Tong Jiangxin paused slightly and replied, "No matter what he wants to play, don't involve Jiang Hao."
This is Tong Jiangxin's bottom line. Tong Haizheng left a suicide note asking Tong Jiangxin to take care of Tong Jianghao no matter what. A year later, Tong Jiangxin almost lost half of her life because of this.
Liao Jianing sighed secretly, and then said, "I don't see it. If Lu Chengxi had wanted to threaten you with Jiang Hao, he wouldn't have waited until now."
Tong Jiangxin was silent. She just didn't understand what Lu Chengxi was going to do, so she remained confused until now.
Liao Jianing seemed to suddenly think of something, and she said, "By the way, could it be because of Mike?"
mike? Tong Jiangxin raised her eyes and looked at Liao Jianing, not understanding what she meant.
Liao Jianing lowered his voice slightly and said, "You are in Evergrande now, so you may not have heard about it. It is rumored that the Lu family intends to expand business channels in Singapore, but Singapore has always been the world of the Mai family, and Mike has a good impression of you. Do you think Lu Chengxi should
Aren't you using your relationship to suppress Mike?"
Tong Jiangxin frowned slightly, she really didn't know about this.
But then she thought about it, and she replied aloud, "Mike and I have made it clear a long time ago. Now that we don't even see each other in private, what else can happen? Besides, I don't believe that Lu Chengxi will think that I have feelings for Mike."
What kind of restraint? Although he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, he is very arrogant. In the shopping mall, he disdains to use this method."
Tong Jiangxin had already seen through Lu Chengxi, so she thought that Lu Chengxi's frequent overtures had little to do with this.
When Liao Jianing saw that Tong Jiangxin was so sure, she said, "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Everyone knows who Lu Chengxi is, so don't trust him too much."
Believe... Tong Jiangxin sneered in her heart. She would rather trust a stranger now than trust Lu Chengxi again. He used reality again and again to wear away the last trace of attachment in her heart.
"The cooperation between Evergrande, Lu Group, and the three Asia-Pacific companies is only a few months away. Once the matter is over, we will leave Hong Kong. Whatever happens here in the future will have nothing to do with us."
Tong Jiangxin said softly.
Something quickly flashed in Liao Jianing's eyes. Although she tried to cover it up by drinking something, Tong Jiangxin still saw the clues, so she said, "What's wrong?"
Liao Jianing's eyes were a little strange. He didn't look at Tong Jiangxin, but said evasively, "Oh, it's okay."
Liao Jianing couldn't hide things. Whenever she had a secret to hide, she would always dodge her eyes. Tong Jiangxin frowned slightly and said, "You can tell me now. What's wrong?"
Under Tong Jiangxin's repeated questioning, Liao Jianing finally pursed her lips, grasped the glass in her hand, and tightened her fingers uneasily. After a while, she said in a low voice, "Li Mingyang and I are together..."
Liao Jianing said the three words "Li Mingyang" very softly. Tong Jiangxin didn't hear clearly, so she frowned and said, "Who did you say you were with?"
Liao Jianing was heartbroken and said with a bit of helplessness and regret on his face, "Li Mingyang."
The surprise on Tong Jiangxin's face was no longer enough to be described in words. After about ten seconds, she laughed and said, "Are you really together?"
