Chapter 345: Transition Period
Shen Man looked at me with an earnest look, and in her heart she must have hoped that I would agree to her request to go to Japan with her.
When I faced the lowest point in my life, I had the urge to escape, I am not a saint, no one wants to be troubled, and going to Japan is a choice that can be solved but all the troubles, but if I go to Japan, what will Brother Luo do? What if I want to reinvigorate the promise of "Ciro Men's Store"?
"Yixi, go to Japan with me, we will spend a few years there, and when everything is stabilized, we can still choose to return to China to live."
"To Japan? ......." I repeated these three words, and I seemed to suddenly understand the reason why Shen Man wanted to go to Japan for a few years: "Are you trying to avoid the prince?" ”
"Yixi, have you never loved me? Haven't you ever thought of making me your wife? Shen Man's eyes were full of tears, and she looked at me with a gasp.
I avoided Shen Man's tortured gaze and lit myself a cigarette, but I couldn't answer........
Let her be my woman? Be my wife? What is it like to feel or experience?
I can't imagine falling in love with her, let alone sleeping together....... Does me, Shen Man, and the prince have to end up with such a hateful ending?
........
Seeing that I was silent, Shen Man continued to choke up and said, "I have always restrained myself with reason and prevented us from getting along with burdens....... Even accepting the prince's love, can't you notice that I don't have that kind of affection for the prince at all? ........ Be? I was engaged to him because of the pressure of age, but more because of your stinging again and again!! ”
All I had left in my hand was the cigarette butt that was almost burning, and in the burning pain, I was sure that I couldn't go to Japan with Shen Man, and things had developed to this point, and the damage was inevitable.........
"I've loved a lot of people, but I've never loved you....... Go back to the prince, there is no fault in this world that cannot be forgiven, and different paths can also end together. I said slowly to Shen Man.
Shen Man bit her lip tightly and shook her head unwillingly, her eyes were full of grievances: "I would rather die in the wind and waves at that time......."
........
I will never be able to forget Shen Man's heart-wrenching eyes when she left, she broke free from the hand I wanted to help her, and left with a staggering step, her back full of gloom and desolation, and my heart ached.
After Shen Man left, I sat on the sofa blankly, drinking beer one after another, my life has been so unbearable, I don't want to drag Shen Man down, in fact, I don't know if I love Shen Man, or I have loved it, but I really feel pain, reluctance, loss, and self-blame because of her departure.......
This world is like this, there are always more tragedies than comedies, and I am just one of many tragedies, in fact, compared to those who are suffering the misfortune of life and death, I am lucky enough, at least, in the rest of my life, I may still have the opportunity to meet Shen Man, An Qi, Mo Han........ Zuo Lan!
.......
Time does not continue to move forward because of joy and sorrow, everything that could not be known gradually became clear, Shen Man went to Japan half a month after being separated from me, and no one could contact her anymore, so far there was no news.
A week after Shen Man left, the prince also went to Singapore, his company there had already been registered and started operating, so he had to go to Singapore, I heard that he left very quietly, and went to the airport alone, without notifying anyone to see him off.
Shen Man wasn't with the prince after all, and I don't know what happened to them later, but it's certain that their separation must have caused a storm in both families, after all, the two were already engaged........ Maybe they weren't really separated, but the prince gave Shen Man enough space and time to let her go, and finally chose to tolerate the prince's past and welcome his future, I hope so....... Time will always make people grow, and now it seems that unforgivable mistakes, after the baptism of time, in fact, it is nothing more than that, as long as the two are together, it is enough to have a happy and happy future, why care so much about the past? I thought: Shen Man will understand it one day........
........
I've been going back and forth between the law firms for the past month, I'm doing my best to defend Brother Luo's innocence, and my only wish now is that Brother Luo can survive this catastrophe unharmed, and if Brother Luo is acquitted, it will be a great comfort to my messy life.
........
Tomorrow is the day of Brother Luo's sentencing, Chen Qingyi and I have been staying at the law firm until late before leaving, and the two of us went back to Seaview Coffee for dinner.
I didn't know how Brother Luo would be sentenced tomorrow, but I asked several senior lawyers, and they all said that they were not optimistic, and a suspended sentence would be the best result, and it was more likely that it would be about 3 years.
"Zhang Yixi, this is the money from the sale of the house, a total of 600,000." In my trance, Chen Qingyi took out the bank card from her bag and handed it to me.
When I bought this house, I paid a down payment of 400,000 yuan, and I earned 200,000 yuan from this transfer, of course, this is related to the low price of Chen Qingyi's relationship at the beginning, and the house continues to appreciate, it is normal to earn 200,000 yuan.
"Thank you."
Chen Qingyi smiled and signaled that she didn't need to thank me, and asked me: "What are you going to do with this money, do you want to keep it and make a comeback?" ”
I shook my head and said, "500,000 yuan will be returned to Lin Xi, 70,000 yuan will be given to employees for severance pay, and 30,000 yuan will be given to sister-in-law Luo." ”
"Lin Xi's 500,000, you don't have to pay it back for the time being, it's better to keep it for yourself and start a business." Chen Qingyi said to me very seriously.
"So much has happened, my mentality has gone terribly wrong, and in a year, I won't be starting another business."
Chen Qingyi looked at me with some surprise: "Then are you ready to return to the workplace?" Mr. Gao is always welcome to join us! ”
I still shook my head.
"And what do you want to do?" Chen Qingyi asked me puzzled.
"Leaving Nantong, I lost everything here, and there is nothing worth remembering!" I sighed and replied to Chen Qingyi.
Chen Qingyi also sighed lightly, and said to me after a long time: "Then are you planning to go back to the small city?" In fact, it's good to go back to the town, at least to be with your family. ”
"Xiaocheng will definitely go back once, explain everything clearly with his family, and then leave."
Chen Qingyi showed a trace of compassion on her face, and only said to me after a while: "Have you thought about where to go?" ”
I looked out the window blankly and replied, "No....... Maybe it's a life that goes with the flow. ”
While speaking, Lin Xi walked down from the office on the third floor, and she took a fruit bowl and sat down beside Chen Qingyi.
"How's it going?" Lin Xi asked with concern.
"Still not optimistic." My answer was a bit lonely.
Lin Xi also showed a look of disappointment on his face, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Yixi, don't think too much, we have all done our best in this matter....... Whatever the outcome, it's all about living your life well after........ People always have to look up and look forward. ”
"Yes."
