Chapter 61: The Final Choice
Tao Tao walked down the street as if he had lost his soul.
She didn't know where she was going, and she didn't know where she was going.
She was like a puppet at this time, manipulated by emotions and lost her heart.
However, when she reacted, she had already come to the downstairs of Jiang Jinchen's company.
She looked at the familiar building in front of her and suddenly smiled meaninglessly.
It turned out that what he really cared about was Jiang Jinchen.
Then it's okay, since you're here, let's confess my heart to Jiang Jinchen this time.
She wanted to know the truth, to know the truth that Jiang Jinchen told herself to herself.
No way, who allowed themselves to have an eternal preference for this man?
Whatever he said to himself, she would always believe it.
Tao Tao wiped the undried tears on his face, adjusted his expression, and walked into the door of the company.
Standing there was still the lovely young lady at the front desk.
"Good afternoon, ma'am."
The young lady smiled sweetly at Tao Tao.
But Tao Tao was not infected by her smile this time.
She just pulled up a smile that was uglier than crying, smiled at the young lady, and then walked into the elevator.
The girl looked at Tao Tao's expression suspiciously, and her intuition must have happened.
Tao Tao stood in the elevator with the bag in his hand tightly, and his heart gradually stopped beating as if he was overweight.
Soon, the elevator reached the floor where Jiang Jinchen was.
Tao Tao suddenly didn't dare to take this step, because she didn't know how to face Jiang Jinchen at this moment, to face the man who was extremely gentle with her.
Tao Tao took a deep breath, planning to have a good talk with him without suspicion or questioning.
However, when Tao Tao just walked to the door of Jiang Jinchen's office, she actually heard a woman's voice coming from inside.
She was stunned for a moment, and the hand that was tightly clenched on the doorknob gradually lost its color.
"Why the hell are you doing this to me?" Tao Tao heard Li Huan's voice.
"I warned you a long time ago not to touch what you shouldn't." In the next second, Jiang Jinchen's familiar voice came from that door, but Tao Tao felt a little trance at this time.
"So, you want my life?"
Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, she remembered what Xiao Qiong had said to her before.
"Don't you forget, I did you such a great favor, and you are doing me like this now?" Li Huan sounded like he was angry.
But what Tao Tao cares about is, what did Li Huan do to help Jiang Jinchen before?
Jiang Jinchen has never told himself about this.
Really......
"If Tao Tao doesn't show up that day, will I really die?" Li Huan continued to question in a trembling voice.
Tao Tao couldn't believe her ears. Could it be that what Xiao Qiong said is true?
"Then it has nothing to do with me." Jiang Jinchen's warm voice came again.
Then there was no movement in the room, and Tao Tao's heartbeat seemed to disappear together.
She felt that she was really close to the truth now, but this truth was definitely the last thing she wanted to hear.
While she was in a daze, the office door suddenly opened.
Li Huan walked out of it, she looked at Tao Tao who was standing at the door, and was stunned for a moment.
Tao Tao didn't look at her, she just turned around and walked out of the house and closed the door.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao who suddenly appeared at the door, and was a little panicked.
Tao Tao smiled at him and asked casually, "What were you two talking about just now?" ”
Jiang Jinchen paused, and then said, "It's nothing, let's talk about work." ”
Tao Tao looked at Jiang Jinchen as if she was deliberately avoiding her gaze, and her heart cooled.
"I have a few questions for you." Tao Tao decided to get straight to the point, because she felt that if she looked at Jiang Jinchen a few more times, she would still be as soft-hearted as before.
Jiang Jinchen looked at Tao Tao's serious face, and he wanted to say something again, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"You're not well, come and sit down." Tao Tao was led by Jiang Jinchen and sat on the sofa.
The two men looked at each other like this and fell silent.
Tao Tao felt that Jiang Jinchen should know something.
On the road just now, Tao Tao had already thought about the questions to ask him, but now, she looked at Jiang Jinchen's gentle eyes, and she couldn't say a word.
"It's okay, you ask." Jiang Jinchen smiled at Tao Tao and stretched out his hand to brush her somewhat messy hair.
Tao Tao suddenly felt very unbearable.
"When we were young, didn't we see each other?" Tao Tao finally avoided the eyes that had sunk him, and asked the question that had been hidden in his heart.
"Yes." Jiang Jinchen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"That'...... Did something unpleasant happen between us? Tao Tao whispered the second question.
Jiang Jinchen suddenly fell silent.
"Yes......" He thought about it carefully, and remembered Tao Tao's disappointed eyes when he knew that he secretly ran out to save his brother behind her back alone.
And so it was. Tao Tao struggled to control his emotions.
"So...... You said before that I saved your life. Tao Tao asked the most mysterious question hidden in the past of the two people.
"Yes." Jiang Jinchen answered her without hesitation this time.
Tao Tao smiled, she turned her head to look directly into Jiang Jinchen's eyes, and asked the last question. "Actually, it's not you who I saved, but the most important person to you, right?"
Jiang Jinchen was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Tao Tao said this.
But he looked at Tao Tao's expectant eyes, and finally nodded. "In a sense...... Be. ”
After Tao Tao heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been pounding since just now, finally quieted down.
"Okay, I got it." Tao Tao nodded at Jiang Jinchen, then got up and walked out without looking at him again.
Jiang Jinchen was stunned. Just as he was about to get up and chase out, he suddenly received a phone call.
He stopped, glanced at the caller ID, and finally closed his eyes in pain and froze where he was.
She didn't know what that phone call meant to Jiang Jinchen at the time.
Tao Tao walked alone on the road, feeling the cold wind lapping on his face.
He didn't catch up, Tao Tao curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
She suddenly remembered the fragment that had appeared in her dreams countless times.
The girl in the white dress and the boy who couldn't see his face against the light.
Sure enough, just like Xiao Qiong said, that girl was not herself, but the funny thing was that her skirt was stained with her own blood.
Jiang Jinchen also admitted that Tao Tao did not save him, but the most important person to him.
It was the girl who had been by his side at the time, not the humble self who had been following the two of them.
This time, between Jiang Jinchen and Xiao Qiong, she chose to believe in Xiao Qiong.
The reason is very simple, because the person I have believed in for so long has not even given himself a superfluous explanation this time.
He just watched like that, watching himself out of his sight.
Tao Tao finally got on the car home.
When a person is vulnerable, he wants to return to his warm harbor and heal silently.
"You're back." As soon as the door opened, Tao Tao saw her mother standing outside the door smiling and looking at her.
The woman smiled softly, and then pulled Tao Tao into the room.
"Why don't you tell me in advance, I'll make you something to eat." The woman said as she opened the refrigerator door.
"Look, there's no food left at home." The woman looked at the somewhat empty refrigerator and shook her head helplessly.
"No need Mom, I'm not hungry." Tao Tao looked at the woman who was about to go out to buy vegetables, and quickly got up and grabbed her.
The woman turned her head and looked at Tao Tao's expression that seemed to be a little sad.
"Did something happen to you?" The woman immediately saw her daughter's emotions.
Tao Tao was silent.
The woman sighed, pulled Tao Tao to sit on the chair, and whispered to her. "It's okay, you can tell your mother."
"Mom." Tao Tao looked at the love in the woman's eyes, and finally couldn't help crying.
"Good daughter, don't cry." The woman hugged Tao Tao tightly in distress.
Tao Tao vented her emotions in her mother's arms without hesitation.
It was a long time before she stopped.
The woman straightened Tao Tao's messy hair, with a worried face.
Tao Tao still didn't give up until this moment.
She looked at her mother and asked a question. "Mom, did I live in this city when I was young?"
Tao Tao's eyes stared at her mother without blinking.
But her mother suddenly panicked, and Tao Tao's heart also went up and down.
But in the end, her mother's words completely extinguished the fire in her heart.
"No, we've never been to this city before." Tao Tao was lying on the bed, her mind full of her mother's words.
Sure enough, the mother didn't tell her the truth. Because of this, the truth that Xiao Qiong told herself was confirmed, and it was Jiang Jinchen who drove their mother and daughter out of here.
It's just that......
Tao Tao covered her head in pain, but until now, she still couldn't bear it.
At this moment, the mobile phone she put on the table suddenly rang, and she glanced at the caller ID, it was Jiang Jinchen.
Tao Tao pressed the red button without thinking about it.
But he has been persistently calling dozens of times, and Tao Tao still chooses to refuse every time.
Finally, Jiang Jinchen gave up.
Tao Tao smiled and prepared to turn off his mobile phone.
However, as soon as she put her finger on the button, two text messages suddenly appeared on her phone.
"I'm sorry, Tao Tao, I'm ...... It's true that I lied to you, but can you give me a chance to listen to my explanation? I'm waiting for you at the gate of the school. ”
"Where are you? Isn't it sad now, do you want to come out and talk? Come and find me at the café where we last met. ”
Tao Tao looked at these two pieces of information, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, she picked up the coat that hung on the wall, came to the door of the community, and walked out in one direction without looking back.
