Every word Jiang Chaoxi said was like a needle pricking Lu Yanting's heart.
It hurts. It hurts.
Now he can finally understand Jiang Chaoxi's feelings.
The words he said were more than a hundred times more vicious than what she said now.
It was reasonable for her not to forgive him.
Even he doesn't want to forgive himself.
"Jiang Chaoxi, I'm sorry..."
He sincerely apologized to her.
"There's no need to say sorry. There's no point in saying sorry. You just have to promise not to come back in the future." Jiang Chaoxi didn't want to get entangled anymore.
Too tired.
Lu Yanting looked at Jiang Chaoxi intently, looking so hard, so earnestly, so carefully, as if he wanted to carve her face into his heart.
Even if I can't see her again, I can still recall her face clearly.
After a long silence, Lu Yanting finally spoke: "Okay, I promise, I won't come here again."
"Well, let's go!"
Jiang Chaoxi didn't have to look at him as intently as Lu Yanting did, because she had been looking at him for three full years.
Even where he has moles and scars, she knows better than him.
She even wished she didn't remember it so clearly.
Slowly forget about him.
Lu Yanting got into the car.
He sat in the car and never took his eyes off Jiang Chaoxi.
Until the car drove further and further away, and he couldn't see her anymore.
Lu Yanting's heart felt as if it had been hollowed out.
Only a shell remains.
He took out his mobile phone and called Song Tingyue: "Come out and drink."
Song Tingyue didn't expect that Lu Yanting would call him.
He chuckled and said, "What, you want to get drunk and then stop?"
"Yes, you find a place and I'll pay for it."
Hearing Lu Yanting's lonely voice, Song Tingyue knew that he had been rejected by Jiang Chaoxi again.
I felt secretly happy.
"Okay, go to space, I'll send you the location, and I'll go out right away."
"Um."
Lu Yanting hung up the phone, and soon after, Song Tingyue sent the location to his mobile phone.
Before Song Tingyue went out, he called Jiang Chaoxi: "Lu Yanting asked me to go drinking."
"Oh, please drink less."
Jiang Chaoxi laughed.
It's really strange that two men who dislike each other can now sit and drink together.
Song Tingyue said: "Don't worry, am I drunk or not? Lu Yanting is looking for you again?"
"Well, his car was parked outside. When I saw it, I went to find him and asked him not to disturb me again and to let me go. I wanted to start a new life. I also made him promise not to come here again."
Jiang Chaoxi spoke decisively, but Jiang Chaoxi was still worried about Lu Yanting.
Worried about him getting drunk.
She shook her head and forced herself not to worry about Lu Yanting anymore.
From then on, she didn't care about his affairs.
Song Tingyue applauded: "Okay, okay, you can't be merciful to people like him. You can rest. I'm going out now."
"Well, pay attention to safety, drink less, and don't get drunk." Jiang Chaoxi warned again worriedly.
After getting Jiang Chaoxi's relationship, Song Tingyue responded happily: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chaoxi put down his phone, calmed himself down, and continued painting.
The brush brushes across the paper lightly.
When Jiang Chaoxi reacted, he had already drawn a rough outline of Lu Yanting.
She looked at the Lu Yanting she had drawn, and cruelly tore it off, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.
…
The other side at this time.
Jiang Luoluo was calling her best friend to say bad things about Jiang Chaoxi.
"My cousin may have gotten pregnant out of wedlock and was abandoned by a man. She came back with a pregnant belly and said that the child would be named Jiang."
"I heard that she has not contacted her family for so many years, so she must not have done anything good outside."
"That's right. His private life is so immoral that he might not even know who his child is."
"I don't know if I'm sick!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about her. We will go shopping after class tomorrow. I want to buy a queen-jewelry necklace and a ring to wear to Brother Chen's birthday party in a few days."
…
After returning to Jiang's house, Jiang Chaoxi stayed at home to nurse her baby and draw design drafts without leaving the house every day.
Xue Shanshan became busy again, flying around the world and had no time to come and see her. The two could only communicate on WeChat.
Song Tingyue also seemed very busy.
In addition to the blind dates arranged for him by his family, he also began to participate in the family business.
No matter how busy he was, Song Tingyue would always tell Jiang Chaoxi to take calcium tablets, cod liver oil, and multivitamins every day, and also arranged for her to have a prenatal check-up at the best obstetrics and gynecology hospital.
The weather is getting warmer, and Jiang Chaoxi's belly is getting bigger and bigger.
Although Lu Yanting did not appear in front of her, he was in the news much more frequently.
We'll hear about him on the news in a few days.
She knew that he had bought a large piece of land in Kyoto and would build Lu's new headquarters.
Lu's company originally had a branch in Kyoto, and the current branch will also become the company's headquarters.
Lu Yanting moved the company to Kyoto, which was beyond Jiang Chaoxi's expectation.
It’s too much work to mobilize the troops.
Seeing that Jiang Chaoxi didn't go out all day, Old Mrs. Jiang was afraid that she would get bored, so she suggested: "Xibao, if you have nothing to do, go have afternoon tea with grandma. Grandma has made an appointment with some old sisters."
Jiang Chaoxi readily agreed: "Okay!"
Mrs. Jiang happily took Jiang Chaoxi's hand and the two went out together.
Mrs. Jiang and her old sisters had an afternoon tea appointment at the coffee shop of a five-star hotel.
The coffee shop is of relatively high quality, with a quiet environment and not too many people. It is very suitable for old sisters to gather and chat.
Several old sisters have been friends with Mrs. Jiang for decades.
Although their status is no longer the same as before, they still get together from time to time, drink tea and chat, and talk endlessly.
Old Mrs. Jiang happily introduced Jiang Chaoxi to the old sisters: "Sisters, this is my granddaughter Xixi, Xixi, these are Grandma Chen, Grandma Wang, and Grandma Xie."
Jiang Chaoxi greeted several elderly people politely.
When Grandma Chen saw Jiang Chaoxi's pregnant belly, she was envious and jealous at the same time: "Azhen, you are so mean. You want to upgrade to Grandma Zeng and you didn't tell us. We didn't even bring gifts to Xixi."
Old Mrs. Jiang waved her hand: "Oh, what gift are you bringing? It's not like you're an outsider."
Grandma Wang looked at Jiang Chaoxi with a loving look on her face: "The last time I saw Xixi was more than ten years ago. In the blink of an eye, Xixi is now so old and is going to be a mother."
"Yes, the last time I saw Xixi, she was only five or six years old!"
Grandma Xie also thought of the little girl who cried so hard at her parents' funeral that she felt distressed and sad. Thinking about it now, she still feels sad.
Mrs. Jiang took a sip of tea and said, "Isn't that right? Xixi has not been with me these years. I miss her every day. Now I finally got my wish. Xixi will never leave us in the future."
Jiang Chaoxi was drinking tea in silence when he suddenly heard Grandma Xie say: "My granddaughter is going to have a blind date with Lu Yanting, the president of the Lu family, in a few days. Do any of you know the Lu family? Help me find out what Lu Yanting's character is like."
