"At the beginning, you were trapped in the office because of Deju's case, and I knew that I had also run around trying to get you out as soon as possible, but there was no way, I consulted a lot of lawyers, and they all shook their heads and said that the evidence in your case was too sufficient, and it was not easy to get it. Song Hai said slowly, "Later, I did what he said, and sure enough, there were not so many obstacles as before, he had already arranged all the relationships in advance, and the matter that you came out of became logical, but after the matter was done, he asked me to keep it secret, and I couldn't tell you that he did it, although I was a little confused at the time, but I still agreed." ”

"Why did you tell me now?" There was ice water in the cup in his hand, Qing Huan picked it up and drank it silently, it was very cold, the cold line entered the abdomen, and he already felt a faint pain in his stomach.

"After you went to the United States, we didn't have a chance to meet, and I learned the news of his engagement to Tranquility, thinking that it would be okay, you don't have to have any relationship with him anymore, and you won't have so much trouble, so I haven't told you until I know that Chen Yidong not only broke off the marriage contract with Tranquility for you, but also almost fell out with the Chen family, I don't know why, I feel that I should tell you what really happened back then. Song Hai sighed, "As far as I know, he has never really let you go, and many things after you arrived in the United States have his handiwork, such as the apartment you rented, as well as your admission procedures, and your tutor's extra attention to you......"

Song Hai's words slipped into his ears word by word, and Qing Huan slowly translated these words into the meaning he understood with some difficulty, as if there was a brief blank in his mind, and he thought about it twice before he understood.

"I'm sorry, I still have some things, so I'll go first. Then she grabbed the bag beside her, got up and left the table, and when she arrived in the corridor, she took out the phone and called Su Jing, "Where is it?"

"At home, what's wrong?"

"Send me your address, and I'll come right over. ”

The apartment rented by Su Jing is located in the prime area of S City, it is a spacious three-bedroom apartment, the master bedroom also has a living room, she was very surprised when she opened the door and saw Qing Huan, "What's the matter, listening to your anxious look on the phone, is something wrong?"

"Can you tell me about the apartment we shared in the United States, how did you get that house, and why did you choose me?" Qing Huan sat on the sofa and asked directly.

"I just received your application, I think everyone is Chinese, and they are in the same school, which is very suitable." Su Jing was confused by her question, "What's wrong, why did you suddenly remember to ask me this question?"

Qing Huan looked at her quietly, feeling that she didn't look like she was lying, and later many signs also showed that she didn't know Chen Yidong at all.

"Can you tell me about your experience of renting that house at that time, as well as some of the landlord's situation?" After being silent for a while, Qing Huan rubbed the corners of his forehead and said a little tiredly, "Su, this is very important to me." ”

Su Jing was stunned for a long time, and then slowly recalled and told her about the house she had rented at that time.

At that time, she found a real estate agent to rent a house, and she also looked at a lot of houses, and finally the one she liked, she decided to rent it at that time, and then the agent told her that the landlord of this house had a requirement, that is, if she wanted to find someone to share the house, then the person who shared the house must be approved by him.

Su Jing felt a little strange at the time, it was rare to encounter a landlord who would make such a strange request, but the environment and location of that apartment were really good, and the rare thing was that the price was also very favorable, thinking that maybe the landlord was out of cherishing the house and didn't want to rent it to messy people, so she didn't think much about it, so she agreed.

After the house was put up, she received a lot of applications, Su Jingxian was troublesome, so she simply sent all the applications to the landlord and asked him to screen them by himself, and it didn't take long for the landlord to reply to her by email and set the person who rented the apartment at that time.

Qing Huan listened in a daze, his lips were white, and he was a little sweaty, because of the stomach pain, faintly, always like in his heart.

"What's going on? Why are you asking this?" Su Jing asked as she looked at her obviously wrong face.

"It's nothing, just ask for something. Qing Huan turned his head, smiled weakly, and then stood up, "I may go back to New York in the near future." ”

"Are you going back on a business trip?"

"No, the company transferred me back, and I probably won't be in China. Qing Huan smiled.

Su Jing was a little stunned for a moment and stood up, "So suddenly?"

Qing Huan nodded and smiled bitterly, "Some things have a greater impact than I imagined, but it doesn't matter, it just so happens that I still have some things to do when I go back this time." ”

Su Jing looked at her a little speechless, sighed after a while, and nodded.

Early in the morning, heavy rain. It was the first heavy rain since the beginning of autumn, and it hit without warning. Qing Huan packed his luggage in the room, in fact, it didn't take long to come back, plus it was summer, so there weren't many things to pack, this morning was quiet, and time seemed to pass very slowly. She folded all the clothes she was going to bring and put them in the box. I sorted out all the work materials in the room, and then tidied up the room again, opened the window, and let the rain and wind pass through the whole room. After doing all this, she looked at the empty room and sighed, ready to leave for the company to hand over the work.

Everyone was surprised to know the news that she was leaving, but they were not very surprised, so much negative news, it was expected that the company would take some measures. For a while, the atmosphere in the office was a little heavy.

After Qing Huan finished handing over the work, he leaned in front of the glass window of the office, quietly watching the rattling rain outside the window, the sky was gray, and the whole city was shrouded in a huge rain curtain.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Tang Tang cautiously approached, "Wendy, you're gone, will you come back?"

"I don't know, maybe it will, maybe it won't. Qing Huan turned his head and said with a smile.

"Are those things said on the Internet true?" Tang Tang stood in place, his face flushed, and he finally mustered up the courage to speak.

Qing Huan looked at her and suddenly smiled distantly, "You are the first person to come and verify this matter with me." ”

"Wendy, I've always wanted to be like you, a person with dreams, goals, and the courage to achieve them, I used to be always confused, I didn't know what I wanted to do, what I wanted, I would just follow the trajectory of most people, I felt that everyone walked like that, then I should also go like that, until I saw you, listened to you talk so much, I suddenly seemed to wake up, it turned out that life is not just like this day after day numbness, but also can become more valuable and more useful to this society......" Tang Tang covered his face and said in a low voice.

"So when you read the news on the Internet and believe it, you feel very disappointed, right?" Qing Huan said with a soft sigh.

Tang Tangjing's tears overflowed again, and she was choked up.

Qing Huan looked at her sideways and said gently: "Tang Tang, you want to be a person who is more useful to this society with your dreams, which is very good, but you shouldn't be based on anyone, blindly want to become that kind of person, once you find that that person is different from what you think, you feel that the value system you have been building all along, so you are miserable." What you should understand is that you are you, your dreams, and the realization of self-worth should be centered on yourself, and should not be influenced by anyone, otherwise what is the difference between you and when you will only follow the trajectory of others?"

Tang Tang looked at her in a daze, speechless, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Regarding those rumors on the Internet, I don't want to defend anything, and I don't think there is anything worth defending, many things naturally have their own set of criteria in my heart, what can be done, what can't be done, what price will be paid for doing this, I know very well in my heart. Qing Huan said with a slight smile.

Tang Tang looked at her appearance, she only felt very sad, she cried and asked, "Then you and Chen Yidong ......"

"Our story is long and complicated," Qing Huan stared out the window, "but it's not over yet, and it can't end like this." ”

The night before leaving, Qing Huan felt very tired and exhausted, as if his whole body had been loosened and something had been completely released. She unexpectedly slept deeply and soundly. But as soon as it was dawn, she woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the weather was completely clear, there was no rain and no dark clouds.

She just lay there for a while, got up to change her clothes, and dragged the suitcase downstairs. Downstairs was peaceful and the flower beds were empty. There was no one else but her.

Qing Huan stood there for a moment, then glanced up at a window in the apartment building, curled the corners of his lips, and then left without looking back.

When she sat on the plane and looked at the clear sky outside, she thought that not everyone would encounter a love that lingered to the bone. There are people who have met and missed it. Some people give up and don't dare. Not everyone will struggle and choose in the whirlpool of interests and true self. Not everyone will love so painfully and happily, and be entangled with a person for a lifetime with such vigorous ups and downs.

It's pain, it's misfortune, but is it also luck?

This time, she made a good choice and decided to face everything that should be her own happiness, and she would not let it slip through her fingers again.
