The day before the trial, Tang Jinteng drove to the express hotel where she stayed and parked downstairs all day.
Waiting for her all day long like this happened once after the New Year, when she was in Qingcheng.
When it got dark, Tang Jinteng saw Xin Yi, but she didn't come out alone. The person accompanying her was Qian Ziang.
The car Tang Jinteng drove today was a Volkswagen that no one would take a second look at. It was parked outside the hotel and no one noticed it.
Tang Jinteng looked at a man and a woman walking out of the hotel with a cold face. The man wore a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a sleeveless polo shirt, but his collar stood up. He had a tall and slim figure, and his exposed cheeks were handsome and raised.
The shape of his lips made the man look a little unruly. The woman looked petite and dainty next to him. She did not wear sunglasses, but wore a mask that covered most of her face. She was wearing simple white T-shorts, her hair disheveled, and her bangs and mask covered her face.
All that was left was her eyes.
Why him?
Tang Jinteng couldn't figure out why he would lose to this ruffian.
He admitted that he underestimated this gangster at the beginning because he was not a popular person, so he never took him seriously. No matter how big things Qian Ziang did, in Tang Jinteng's opinion, it was just a small fight and could not be brought to the stage.
.
For example, Qian Ziang's coastal theme amusement park, which is about to be completed, even if it becomes a landmark building in Qingcheng, Tang Jinteng doesn't think it will be a big deal. Because he has a criminal record, he subconsciously divides Qian Ziang and himself into two levels.
.
He felt that he was not worthy enough, so he asked Xin Yi to stay away from him from the beginning.
But his person, the less she is allowed to do something, the more she will do it.
Was he the one who pushed her out?
Tang Jinteng made a mistake again and waited for her to come to him crying like before, but unexpectedly, someone got there first.
Tang Jinteng got out of the car and followed Xin Yi and Qian Ziang. The two went to the nearby pedestrian street. Tang Jinteng saw Qian Ziang fending off the crowd for Xin Yi to avoid people hitting her.
His eyes were burning, was that what he should do?
Tang Jinteng followed and passed the entrance of the pedestrian street. The commercial alleys inside divided the crowds, making it less crowded than the intersection.
Tang Jinteng saw Qian Ziang leaving Xinyi and going to the front line to queue up. The stall sold octopus balls. The stall was very small. There was only enough room for two people to stand next to the grill, but there were many people queuing up.
, all young men and women.
Xin Yi stood outside the long queue with not many people, waiting for Qian Ziang.
Tang Jinteng stood in the crowd of people coming and going. When he saw her looking towards him, Tang Jinteng's heart trembled violently. Did she see him?
But it seemed that when he met her eyes, she just glanced at him lightly and didn't really see him.
Because her eyes were blank and empty. Her ethereal eyes had lost all their sparkle and were as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Tang Jinteng's eyes suddenly burned and tears welled up.
Ten minutes later, he saw Qian Ziang happily walking towards her holding a small box of meatballs. No matter how exaggerated Qian Ziang's smile was, she was silent. Qian Ziang didn't seem to mind playing the clown, and the green mustard was wrong.
He made her smile on the straight bridge of his nose, and it took a while before he saw her taking the fish balls.
Tang Jinteng's heart ached like a knife, and he pressed his big palm on his dull chest and slowly squatted down.
Because of his arrogance and arrogance, he pushed her further and further away, even giving this last chance to save her to others.
He lost his mind thinking that she could come back to him, and planned every step to force her to this point, but he still waited aloofly for her to bow her head first and fulfill his vanity and arrogant pride.
Why didn't you take a step back earlier?
Why do you miss her and love her but don't tell her?
I am obsessed with love and want to go crazy. Even so, I have to wait for her to get closer first.
He has done much more for her than she knows, so why can't he let go of his dignity and speak openly like Qian Ziang?
Tang Jinteng's heart ached with pain, and he was sweating heavily on his face.
So why did someone else take away the treasure that I couldn’t put down?
Tang Jinteng burst into tears and squatted on the ground, pressing his heart. Where had his heart gone?
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
A childish voice sounded, and Tang Jinteng slowly raised his eyes. The little carrot head was as cute as a tiger's head.
Tang Jinteng slowly raised his hand, touched the child's head, and whispered with red eyes: "You call me big brother?"
"Yeah." Little Carrot Head nodded.
Tang Jinteng was happy for no reason. He was actually not very old, right? Even the children called him "big brother", but it's a pity...
She didn't hear it.
"How old is he?" Tang Jinteng asked the child.
"Three years old." The child handed the candy in his hand to Tang Jinteng, "Please eat it."
Just as Tang Jinteng was about to take over, the child's mother took the child away and said in a bad tone: "I told you not to talk to strangers, why didn't you listen? If you are sold by the bad uncle, you won't be able to see your mother, do you understand...
…”
Tang Jinteng watched the young mother holding her child disappear into the crowd, leaving only the vague cry of her child admitting her mistake.
Tang Jinteng stood up slowly, holding his heart in mind, but Xin Yi could not be found again.
"Yibao..."
Tang Jinteng strode along this alley, walking in various directions. He visited all the alleys and could not find Xin Yi again.
It was already very late, and Tang Jinteng was standing on the street at a loss. Who would tell him what to do to save his marriage and family?
Is he really an unforgivable sin? His feelings have always remained the same, just because of an accident. Does this count as betraying his lover, betraying his marriage, and betraying his family?
The pedestrian street was crowded at night. Tang Jinteng took off his crisp suit jacket, walked towards the octopus dumpling stall, and stood calmly at the end of the line.
The queue was really long, and the few people in front of him were gone.
Tang Jinteng walked up and saw that the stall owners were a young couple. The husband was baking meatballs, and his wife was helping to add ingredients. They were now ready to close the stall.
"Sir, come back tomorrow, it's already sold out today."
I get so many goods every day, and I get a lot of them, because there is a school nearby and more students come here at night, so the business is very good.
"I want to buy it for my wife... I don't care how much I want..." Tang Jinteng said in a deep voice, opening his wallet, but there was no cash.
Tang Jinteng panicked at this moment. In panic, he turned sideways and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll have someone send cash over..."
"Sir, I'm really sorry. Today has been sold out. We live far away from here..." the stall owner said apologetically. This person looked like he was not an ordinary person at first glance, but they were also in trouble. What if this was so close?
I can still go back and get it, but this...
"It doesn't matter how much money you want." Tang Jinteng emphasized again.
"..."
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, and then he just ignored him, and then he met an incomprehensible owner.
