Chapter 81: Your Ex-Girlfriend from University
Chen Jiamu watched her breakdown, feeling not a ripple in his heart.
Fate loves to fool people like this. The more you want something, the more you will lose it.
Only what you get by relying on yourself truly belongs to you.
“So, knowing too much isn’t necessarily good.”
“If you want to get out of trouble, you must overcome it. Zhang Xin, relying blindly on others is not a long-term path after all.”
Hearing his words, Zhang Xin suddenly pushed him away excitedly! Pointing at him with an out-of-control expression, she screamed sharply: “You can say such things so matter-of-factly, it’s nothing more than your background! Your starting point is someone else’s finish line!”
“Of course you can say relying on others is shameful! But! Chen Jiamu! If you lived my life! You might not be as strong as me!”
“Do you think I want to! I have no choice! Besides this skin, what else do I have!”
Two extreme viewpoints collided; apart from silence, there was only silence.
Chen Jiamu suddenly felt he couldn’t communicate with Zhang Xin. He and she were people from two different worlds after all.
He didn’t feel that relying on others briefly was shameful; he just felt it wasn’t a long-term plan.
“Whatever you like.”
“That’s all I have to say.”
Feeling somewhat powerless, Chen Jiamu turned and left the milk tea shop without looking back, leaving Zhang Xin alone to weep silently in collapse…
If it were before, she might have continued to entangle herself with Chen Jiamu. But now, her affair with Qian Chengfeng was already exposed.
Provoking him again would be nothing but humiliating herself.
It turned out she had touched the grand prize lottery ticket a year ago. Unfortunately, she disliked the dust on it and delayed opening it.
By the time someone wiped the dust off, the prize belonged to someone else…
Coming out of the milk tea shop, Chen Jiamu received a call from Chen Cheng. On the phone, Chen Cheng immediately asked what was going on with the girl at the door. Presumably, someone saw it, and some rumors spread in the company, reaching Chen Cheng.
“Oh, just a small matter. I’ve already handled it.”
“It won’t affect the company.”
Chen Cheng was silent for a while on the other end, then sighed. After a long time, she said: “Come to the Reception Restaurant; let’s have lunch together.”
“Okay.”
Chen Jiamu didn’t think much, assuming just the two of them would eat. But when he arrived at the private room door, he saw An Yiyi.
“Eh…”
Chen Jiamu was full of questions. Why was An Yiyi here? seeing him standing at the door, Chen Cheng raised her hand to beckon him in: “What are you doing standing at the door!”
“Come in.”
Stunned for a moment, Chen Jiamu gathered his spirits and walked into the private room. After he sat down, the waiter arranged for the dishes to be served.
Chen Jiamu was still full of doubts. When did An Yiyi and Chen Cheng’s relationship become so good?
Wasn’t her target him?
Sensing Chen Jiamu’s gaze, An Yiyi clenched her fists awkwardly.
No, why does he keep staring at her?
Could it be he’s interested in her now?
Both were startled by the thoughts in their minds at the same time, and both looked away in unison.
Chen Cheng was unaware of this action. Instead, she asked about the noon matter: “Who was that girl at noon?”
“Xiao Yang said you guys argued at the door.”
Pausing in his soup drinking, Chen Jiamu looked up at her, scared into waving his hands repeatedly: “Just a former university classmate, don’t overthink it.”
“She looked for me because of some other matters. It’s all in the past, nothing major.”
Chen Jiamu didn’t want to say much about Zhang Xin, so if he could avoid mentioning her, he would.
Seeing his dodging expression and erratic eyes, An Yiyi knew he was lying.
“Past matters… your ex-girlfriend from university?”
Her voice was dull, but it choked both people at the table.
“Cough cough cough!”
“Cough cough cough!”
“No! Not!”
Chen Jiamu shook his head like a rattle drum. He couldn’t take the blame for this relationship at all.
“It’s nothing major, I’ve already handled it. Let’s eat, don’t mention other things.”
Since Chen Jiamu said so, An Yiyi didn’t continue with shocking words.
Instead, she quietly picked the bones out of the fish in her bowl, then picked it up and placed it in Chen Cheng’s bowl. Pursing her lips shyly: “Sister, eat fish.” “Okay.”
Chen Cheng picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth, completely failing to notice Chen Jiamu’s weird gaze.
No…
He…
An Yiyi…
Lowering his head, Chen Jiamu’s brain was spinning fast. Countless thoughts flashed by; he didn’t dare think too deeply…
Looking up, he looked at An Yiyi’s sweet-girl appearance, then looked at Chen Cheng’s cool and glamorous face…
He really didn’t dare think a bit more. If anyone was to blame, it was the messy stuff he was exposed to in university.
Amen… he sinned…
After eating, Chen Jiamu didn’t dare stay long. Perhaps it was normal for girls to act like this; he was thinking too much.
Returning to the company, he threw this matter to the back of his mind.
Only after getting off work in the afternoon did he quickly withdraw from the annoying documents.
Downstairs at the company, just as he wanted to call the driver to pick him up, a black Mercedes suddenly stopped in front of him.
After the window rolled down, that face he dreamed of day and night was tilting its head looking at him.
The man’s brow seemed very haggard, with dark circles under his eyes.
Was the company very busy? So haggard…
“Li Xi!”
Ignoring everything else, Chen Jiamu opened the passenger door and sat in. Excitingly grabbing his hand, Li Xi was amused by his action.
The suppressed emotions livened up a tiny bit.
