Tong Jiangxin hid nothing from Liao Jianing, but only the time when she and Lu Chengxi were together, she regarded it as an unspeakable scar, sealed it in her heart, and never mentioned it. So Liao Jianing knew that Tong Jiangxin had worked at Lu's
For a while, I never thought about what would happen between them.
Seeing that Tong Jiangxin was silent, it was the acquiescence. Liao Jianing's heart skipped a beat and she stared at Tong Jiangxin. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and lowered her voice and said, "Are you crazy?!"
Are you crazy?
Yes, she is crazy. Only crazy would sleep with the person who forced her father to jump off the building and forced the entire Tong family to go bankrupt.
Seeing a picture of her and Lu Chengxi together appearing in front of her eyes, Tong Jiangxin frowned, and her face instantly became as white as a sheet of paper, bloodless.
Liao Jianing was also too surprised, so she spoke quickly. Seeing Tong Jiangxin acting like this, she immediately took a breath and said, "Jiang Xin, I..."
Tong Jiangxin lowered her gaze and adjusted her breathing secretly. After a while, she slowly said, "I know that sooner or later, I can't hide this from you. It's better if you know, it will save me from being worried every day."
Hearing Tong Jiangxin answer in such a plain tone, Liao Jianing felt mixed emotions in her heart.
Frowning, Liao Jianing knew that Tong Jiangxin had a character that he would not say anything about what was deep in his heart and would carry it to death alone.
There must be some difficulty, otherwise no one would reach this point, let alone Tong Jiangxin, who has a higher spirit than ordinary people.
Reacting quickly in her heart, Liao Jianing took Tong Jiangxin's hand. Feeling that her fingertips were cold, Liao Jianing held it tighter.
With no intention of shopping anymore, the two simply found a quiet place to sit down and have a drink.
Tong Jiangxin looked out the window quietly. Her skin was very white, like a princess depicted in a fairy tale book, and like a mermaid who might turn into bubbles and disappear at any time.
Liao Jianing didn't ask, because no one knew Tong Jiangxin better than her. She must have been driven to the end of her rope, so she had to die.
The two of them sat there for several hours, looking at the sunlight outside getting smaller and smaller, before Tong Jiangxin said out loud, "Jianing, I know you won't look down on me, but I still feel that I will look down on myself."
Liao Jianing raised her eyes and looked at Tong Jiangxin. She kept looking sideways out of the window from beginning to end, with a calm expression, as if she had looked away from everything, but also seemed to have lost interest in everything.
Liao Jianing felt sorry for her and frowned uncontrollably. She said aloud, "Why do you look down on yourself? Do you look down on yourself for making sacrifices because of your family? Or do you look down on you for hiding behind your family when nothing happened?"
Tong Jiangxin's expressionless face finally showed a look of emotion.
Thinking of the difficult situation she was in, she once sat outside the morgue for a day and a night, and she also fainted from overwork. She knew that the person she loved the most was the one who had lied to her for the longest time. In order to promise, she
Determined to protect, but ended up being abandoned in the end.
Once...it was so sad. As long as the sad Tong Jiangxin turned around and touched it, the wound would hurt so much that she wanted to die.
Liao Jianing knows Tong Jiangxin best, so she can touch the most sensitive point in Tong Jiangxin's heart with just a few words.
Yes, it's not her fault. She didn't do anything wrong from beginning to end. It's not that she didn't work hard. It's just that the facts are so powerless and she can't change anything.
Liao Jianing reached across the table to take Tong Jiangxin's hand and said, "Jiang Xin, forget, whether it's Uncle Tong, your second mother, or Jiang Hao, they are destined to be just passers-by in your life, and they can't accompany you."
For the rest of your life, why do you still miss them alone after they abandon you?"
There was a deep sadness in Tong Jiangxin's dark pupils, which almost annihilated the entire eye socket.
Liao Jianing knew that Tong Jiangxin's love for her family was like a thorn in her heart. If she pulled it out without mercy, it would be the greatest harm to her.
Slowly speaking, Liao Jianing said, "You said that if you don't want to, no one can defeat you. It was before and it is now. As long as you are willing to forget the past and live happily and hard every day, then no one can
Preventing you from finding your own happiness!"
Tong Jiangxin's cold fingertips were gradually warmed by Liao Jianing's warm palms. She looked at Liao Jianing and asked with an almost extravagant and confused look, "Can you really start over if you forget?"
That period of time is not long, but it is a scar. Even if it passes, it will leave its mark forever.
Liao Jianing nodded hard and said, "Yes, it must be possible. Look, even though Lu Chengxi is pressing harder, haven't you still found a job in Hong Kong? Jiang Xin, just think of it as giving me something to work hard for."
Motivation, you must not be defeated!"
Tong Jiangxin finally slowly clenched her fingers and took Liao Jianing's hand.
She nodded and replied, "Jianing, I promise you, I will not be knocked down!"
A few hours later, for Tong Jiangxin, it was as if she was reborn. In the past, there was something in her heart that she did not dare to touch. Not only was she afraid of herself, but she was also afraid of being known by the people around her. She was afraid that they would because of it.
Her past looked at her differently.
But now she can't, all the secrets in her heart have been revealed one by one, and she feels a lot more relaxed.
Seeing Tong Jiangxin heaving a sigh of relief, Liao Jianing said with a smile, "Today is a good day for you. The interview is successful, so you can take off your burden. I'll treat you. Let's go to the Oriental Hotel. Maybe you can still book a seat now."
Tong Jiangxin breathed a long sigh of relief. She turned on the phone and saw Li Mingyang's missed call. She dialed back. Li Mingyang answered the call quickly. Tong Jiangxin said, "At eight o'clock, Oriental Hotel, Jia Ning has already gone to take a reservation.
".
Li Mingyang hesitated a little, but still replied, "Okay, see you then."
Liao Jianing drove to the Oriental Hotel to reserve a seat, and then the two returned to the villa in the middle of the mountain to pick up Uncle Cheng.
Uncle Cheng was very happy to know that Tong Jiangxin had succeeded in the interview, and even bowed to the pot of lucky bamboo.
Tong Jiangxin also said happily, "Uncle Cheng, I think it's all thanks to your pot of lucky bamboo. I'll offer it up another day."
Liao Jianing said, "If it's really so effective, I think you should ask people to plant the whole back garden so that good luck will skyrocket."
The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, then after checking that the time was almost up, they got in the car and drove to the Oriental Hotel.
On the way there, Tong Jiangxin said to Uncle Cheng, "Uncle Cheng, there is a friend coming soon. His name is Li Mingyang."
