Seeing Han Xue's disapproval and still acting like a rich lady, Tong Jiangxin felt chilled from the bottom of her heart.
People from the furniture store stood next to the two of them, looking at Tong Jiangxin with a smile on their faces, as if they were seeing a cash machine.
Tong Jiangxin said, "Take me to pay."
The clerk immediately led Tong Jiangxin to the front counter with a smile. Tong Jiangxin reached out and took out her mobile phone and dialed a phone number. As soon as the call was connected, the person inside said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm at the door."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the furniture store was pushed open. Liao Jianing was wearing a tight leather skirt and ten-centimeter high heels, and was taking the phone from her ear.
"Here, swipe the card".
Liao Jianing walked to Tong Jiangxin and handed the card to the clerk.
Tong Jiangxin smiled helplessly and said, "I won't even ask you to come here specially..."
"What are you talking about? You are of no use to me!"
Before Tong Jiangxin finished speaking, Liao Jianing rolled her eyes and interrupted.
The clerk returned the card to Liao Jianing and attached the receipt for this time's swiping of the card.
Liao Jianing didn't even look at it, she just put the card back into her bag. Turning her head, she saw Han Xue not far away, who was discussing with other shop assistants about airfreight of furniture. She said, "That second mother of yours is still so capable."
Spend money?"
Tong Jiangxin was a little helpless and just said, "She is used to spending money lavishly. She really doesn't know what to do in the future."
While the two were talking, Han Xue turned around and suddenly saw someone standing next to Tong Jiangxin. She walked over and said with a faint smile, "Jiang Xin, are you your friend?"
Tong Jiangxin introduced, "This is my good friend since childhood, Liao Jianing."
Liao Jianing took the initiative to smile at Han Xue and said, "Hello, Aunt Xue."
Han Xue saw that Liao Jianing was beautiful and was covered in famous brands. She knew that she was also a child from the upper class. She smiled lightly and said, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
Liao Jianing replied, "I have been studying in the United States for the past few years, and I just came back to Hong Kong yesterday."
Han Xue looked as if she was like this, nodded, and then said, "If Miss Liao has nothing to do, let's have dinner together at home tonight."
Liao Jianing declined, "Oh, no, thank you Aunt Xue, Jiang Xin and I made an appointment to go out for a walk."
Tong Jiangxin saw Liao Jianing winking at her, and she took advantage of the situation and said, "Yes, Aunt Xue, you go back first."
The three of them parted ways in front of the furniture store. Looking at Han Xue driving away in a luxury car, Tong Jiangxin was exhausted physically and mentally and couldn't help but sigh.
Liao Jianing saw this and said, "Tell me the truth, how is your family doing now?"
Tong Jiangxin lowered her gaze slightly, paused for a while, and then said, "The money on the card has been frozen, and the house may be repossessed by the bank in the next few days."
Liao Jianing couldn't help but frown slightly, and then said, "I just heard from your second mother that you are going to the United States?"
Hearing this, Tong Jiangxin couldn't help but sneer, and then said, "America? What are you going to do with it? I really don't know how to explain it to her now..."
Liao Jianing looked at Tong Jiangxin who was very tired but had to force a smile. She felt sad, took Tong Jiangxin's hand and said, "Come on, don't stand here for now. Find a place to sit down and have something to drink."
”.
The two took a taxi to a Starbucks in Central, and sat at a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window. Tong Jiangxin stirred the coffee in the cup with a small spoon, without taking a sip, just looking out the window.
Looking down from a height of dozens of floors, pedestrians are as big as ants. You can't see the hurry, but you can understand the rhythm of life.
Hong Kong has become more and more developed in recent years, but along with this, everyone is a little tired, as if they are a little white mouse in a wind wheel. As long as a sign of money is hung in front of it, it will
He will run forward without stopping, but he doesn't know that he is standing still.
Liao Jianing looked at Tong Jiangxin across the table, and after a while, she said softly, "Jiang Xin, you can't carry it all by yourself and make it clear."
Tong Jiangxin's shoulders stiffened slightly, she pursed her lips, and her eyes were attracted by a flash of blue on the horizon. She didn't know how long it took before she replied, "I promised my dad that no matter what, I will do it."
Taking care of the family, Jiang Hao is still young, Aunt Xue said rightly, Hong Kong is a sad place, and I don’t want Jiang Hao’s childhood to be overshadowed.”
Liao Jianing said, "What about you? Have you ever thought about yourself? How long will it take you to carry it alone? Besides, can you afford it? Today it's hundreds of thousands, and you have to settle in the United States. With your second mother,
The consumption requirements of the consumer cannot be satisfied even if you are squeezed dry. This is a big hole that cannot be filled. The longer you resist, the deeper the hole becomes. Do you want to bury yourself alive?!"
Tong Jiangxin's expression remained the same, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised, showing a faint smile, and she said self-deprecatingly, "If I can satisfy them by burying myself alive, I'd rather do that."
Liao Jianing rolled her eyes at her, and then said, "Jiang Xin, I know you have always been sensible, but you have to recognize the facts. Now that your father is gone, your second mother and your brother actually don't have that deep relationship with you. Why should you?"
Are you going to drag yourself down for them?!"
Tong Jiangxin's fingers finally couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes moved from the window to the coffee in front of her. She slowly said, "Even if you don't look at the living, you still have to look at the dead. It's my dad who takes care of them."
last wish".
Liao Jianing pursed her plump lips and looked at Tong Jiangxin without saying a word for a long time.
Because she knew that Tong Jiangxin's mother passed away very early, and it was Tong Haizheng who had always taken care of Tong Jiangxin.
The two of them were sitting on their seats, and the sunlight outside shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden halo on them.
Tong Jiangxin was always silent, the sun shone on her face, but it could not warm her heart. She was like a trapped beast, surrounded by constraints. She wanted to break through the shackles, but she was unable to do so.
In the end, it was Liao Jianing who spoke first, "Calculate how much it will cost for the two of them to go to the United States."
Tong Jiangxin raised her head and saw Liao Jianing, who was frowning slightly. After a pause, she replied, "You don't need it, I can..."
"Stop talking nonsense, what can you do? I won't hide it from you. I only have less than three million left. These are all the legal fees I earned in the United States over the years. You first give it to your second mother and
Take it from your brother, I only have one. If you stay in Hong Kong, I don’t want to see you go to the United States to work as a coolie for them. From then on, you will gradually lose contact!"
