Ling Xiao went to Yanjing, this was her last chance to turn the tables. Xu Tingsheng didn't know who the big man above was, he suppressed the hatred between the Ling and Xiao families and the Fang family for more than 20 years, and finally let it go and promised not to intervene.

A grudge that has been buried for more than 20 years has finally erupted like a volcano.

The Ling and Xiao families have a net that has been carefully woven for more than 20 years.

To some extent, the Fang family can only rely on a Xu Tingsheng who appeared out of nowhere.

On a certain level, Old Man Fang had already completely lost. Reduced to this, it is difficult to guess the old man's thoughts in the past 20 years, and the price paid by the Fang family is tragic enough.

Now the situation seems to have suddenly reversed, almost completely on the side of Xu Tingsheng and the Fang family, if it can be considered that the Fang family still exists.

It's just politics...... In fact, no one can judge the attitude of "that one".

Xu Tingsheng knew that the "last gamble" that the old man had confessed might be staged soon.

…………

A few days later, Dongzi and Gouge nested in the bilge of Ye Qing's Voyage Group and began their second exile abroad.

The difference is that this time, it is likely that they will never return.

When two people think about that kind of day, they are terrifying, they can't understand anything, they can't do anything, and they can't see the light yet. But what can be done? Xu Tingsheng has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, not to retaliate, not to investigate, not to extinguish, and even gave the two of them a sum of money.

In the corner of the equipment in the corner of the bilge, in the faint light, Dongzi gnawed on a biscuit, his face dead.

Brother Dog threw a bottle of water to Dongzi and whispered: "In the words on TV, you kid can be regarded as love, right? Although it's completely out of play, at least there is a thought in the future, and it's easy to survive." ”

Dongzi muttered a swear word, and then said, "Stinky girl, I don't want to ask her for a photo in the morning." I'm leaving, and I'll never see you again. Stinky, it's really heartless. ”

The footsteps of "Tu, Du" came, and Brother Dog immediately stopped Dongzi, who was still scolding.

Most of the crew on this ship did not know about the existence of the two of them, after all, their situation could not be legally exported. This is smuggling. If they are discovered, no one will step forward to protect them...... Including Ye Qing's arrangement, the two managers who knew about it.

The two of them retreated into the darkness, not daring to make a sound, and at the same time pressed down on an old cargo box beside them to prevent the people inside from struggling and moving.

The sound of footsteps stopped outside the duo's hideout.

Dongzi and Brother Dog held their breath, their hearts racing.

"Dongzi, were you scolding me just now? I still want to send you some hot rice......

Said the people outside.

……

Xu Tingsheng knew that Dongzi and Brother Dog would be sent away on this day, along with Ding Miao.

He didn't have to deal with it himself.

He went to Tongtong's house at the appointed time.

Knocked on the door, no response. It's still the same when you knock it again.

Xu Tingsheng called her, but Tongtong didn't answer, and sent a text message back saying: I'm not at home, the key is on the door.

Xu Tingsheng replied: Is there something? Then I'll wait for you to come back, don't worry.

Tongtong replied: Don't wait, I won't be back. Don't worry, if you don't know, you can ask Brother Zhong.

Xu Tingsheng resent and did not react.

Make a phone call, and the other party has turned off the phone.

Xu Tingsheng called Zhong Wusheng instead, and Zhong Wusheng said, "Tongtong is gone." ”

"What's gone, where did she go?"

"Abroad, she left the country legally, but she will stay and will not come back. ”

"Why? Why did she leave? Did you ask me? Did you force her to leave?" Xu Tingsheng was a little angry because of the accident.

Zhong Wusheng said gently: "Tingsheng, don't worry. It was Tongtong who insisted on leaving, and Uncle Xu and Ya Ming and I all knew about it, but she didn't let us tell you before. The three of us were against it at first, but Tongtong said his reasons, and after we listened...... decided to support her. Uncle Xu helped her apply for a visa and gave her a sum of money. Huang Yaming also gave her a sum of money. Don't worry, she'll be fine. ”

"What do you mean she's going to be fine? She doesn't even speak a word of English. Even if she has money, what can she do as a girl when she goes abroad? What will she do?" Xu Tingsheng was still very excited.

"Tingsheng, Tongtong can speak English, not very proficient, but basic communication is fine. ”

"She speaks English?...... How is that possible?"

"The bar often has foreign customers, and basically the drinks are imported. Tongtong started learning when she was still in Xinghui and you told her to let her prepare to come to Mingyao to manage the wine. She is studying hard every day and practicing desperately...... She hasn't read any books, but she has really practiced it", Zhong Wusheng's tone also began to get excited, "Tongtong knows English, from being very lame to being able to talk normally, Huang Yaming, even Ye Qing and Fang Cheng all know it, only you, Xu Tingsheng, only you don't know." You know what I mean?"

"I ......"

"You don't really care about her at all, you just occasionally become more grateful or make up for guilt. The truth is that you don't have the energy to share with her...... Got it?"

"I know. ”

"That Tongtong likes you, and she likes it so much that this time she actually thinks about it and is willing to die for you, you know?"

"I ...... Know. ”

"You know, but you can't do anything, can you? and then you can only play stupid......" Zhong Wusheng tried to calm down and said, "Do you know what the reason for Tongtong to leave?"

At first, she said it was because she was afraid that staying by your side would threaten you in the future. Your dad and I strongly disagreed with her leaving, telling her not to worry about it. Later, she said that she had no choice, but it was actually because she liked you. She likes you, so she doesn't want to or dare to stay with you anymore. She doesn't want to like you while having low self-esteem, cranky thoughts, and suffering......

She wanted to have a new start in her life, leaving Yanzhou and going abroad, and since then she has no brother who is addicted to drugs, no one knows who she used to be, and she has forgotten a person she knows is impossible. She will have a new life...... Don't let her go, delay her for the rest of her life? Why do you?

Do you know how many times during her time in Mingyao, she was pointed at by customers and said, aren't you the one who sold in Xinghui? Do you know that every time she rejects a boyfriend introduced to her by others, how many people laugh at her for not being self-sufficient and dreaming of yellow sorghum?"

"I ...... I'm sorry, Brother Zhong...... You're right", Xu Tingsheng was silent for a while and then said, "I'm just a little worried, she went out...... After all, it's a foreign country. ”

Zhong Wusheng thought for a while and said, "First, Tongtong is no longer the useless girl you met in Xinghui before. This time, Mingyao has been managed by her alone for a long time, you know? she is already capable of managing a bar like Mingyao. Moreover, this time, it is precisely because she is so calm, dealing with Ding Miao while plotting against Dongzi and the two of them, that we can solve this matter so easily, have you forgotten?

Second, we will have someone to keep in touch with her and help her. In short, you must not contact her. Got it, relieved?"

"Hmm. Thank you. Xu Tingsheng responded.

"Maybe one day, when she finds her own happiness, she can really face you calmly, just friends...... She'll get in touch with you. By the way, that house, your dad helped her pay off the mortgage and let her keep it. She said leave the key to you...... I don't know how she informed you, but you can check it out when you have time. Zhong Wusheng said.

"Hmm. Good. Xu Tingsheng said.

Hanging up the phone, Xu Tingsheng took the key from the door and opened the door.

The small house has completely changed from when it was bought. There are beautiful sofas, chairs, dining tables, curtains...... Lovely carpets, delicate knick-knacks...... All kinds of small details that are full of happiness and carefully constructed......

Sunlight came in through the window, and a small bottle flickered on the windowsill with a tri-colored light.

Xu Tingsheng recognized the small bottle, which was a gift he gave to Tongtong carelessly a long time ago. He said it was a one-of-a-kind French perfume, but it was a "lie".

He picked up the perfume bottle and found it unopened, not even a trace of wear.

It turns out that this gift wrapped in lies has always been so cherished......

Under the perfume bottle was a small note with a simple dozen lines of words:

"Xu Tingsheng. I'm leaving. I don't dare to say goodbye to you in person. I'm sorry.

I still remember the first time I saw you, I remember...... A lot, but soon forget it all. You see, I'm willing to keep even the perfume you gave me, and I'll be able to do it.

I'm still very happy to meet you in this life, otherwise my life would not have such a change......

Forget it, I'll be honest, in fact, I'd rather never meet you, and I'd rather just go through my life like that. Because, it's too late, it's too late when I meet you...... I'm dirty, I'm guilty.

If I had to choose, I would rather choose to work in the factory all the time, maybe one day I will pass you by on the road, you will look at me and think that this rustic girl is actually quite simple and beautiful, and it is good not to say a word.

Or I'm bolder, because I heard about you and saw you, I ran to Mingyao to be a waiter. Then I can secretly watch you, maybe talk to you once in a while, and then think about it myself, and happily have a crush on you, just like other girls.

I wish I had been pure and clean when I met you! Unfortunately, I couldn't erase that period of my life, and then I was afraid to even like you. Just like today, I originally wanted to say goodbye to you once, Xu Tingsheng, I like you...... In the end, I still didn't dare. Because I'm so afraid that I'm dirty, it's going to make you sick.

It was painful, so uncomfortable.

So this time, I decided to go.

I'll start over in another place, live well, and maybe be a strong woman. I will change my name and surname, and there will be no girl named Tongtong in the world again. I will forget that past and try to be a great person. I will forget about you and be happy.

Goodbye, Xu Tingsheng. ”

There was no money on the paper, perhaps because she hadn't come up with a new name yet.
