Chapter 182: The Past Is Gone
Bai Cen leaned against the corner and casually talked to Mu Xinran about unrelated topics until the end of the banquet.
Mu Xinran touched Bai Cen with his shoulder and elbow, "Do you want to leave together?" ”
"No, I still have some things to deal with, you go back first, and stay safe on the way." Bai Cen shook her head, thinking that although she was a little hesitant about the message sent by Zhan Zhaochen before, she also knew that she would eventually need to say goodbye.
"Okay, then I'll go first." Mu Xinran nodded, didn't care what her business was, waved at Bai Cen and turned to leave.
Bai Cen chuckled, Mu Xinran is still quite cute and righteous, at least with a true temperament.
And not the one who stabs in the back.
The people at the banquet were still chatting, all of them were business talks with high-class people, Bai Cen paused to glance at the once familiar gentle face who was talking, paused, turned around and walked out of the room and walked towards the back garden to wait.
Zhan Zhaochen had just finished Wang Dong's meeting, and he didn't notice Bai Cen's figure when he raised his eyes, and his black eyes flashed and he left.
The greenery in the back garden is full of vitality, and the people in front of them are also the people they have put on the tip of their hearts, which seems to be more real.
Zhan Zhaochen lowered his face and walked slowly.
Bai Cen turned around and saw Zhan Zhaochen walking towards this side, he was very handsome today.
Dressed in a white suit, he came to the light, like a prince, but not because of himself.
There had been countless moments when she imagined him hugging her and holding her into the auditorium, but this was the past after all, today was his engagement feast, and they could never go back.
"I'm sorry." Zhan Zhaochen lowered his eyes and apologized, his eyes were full of sadness, "Me and her... I have a relationship, although it is not voluntary for me, but I must be responsible for her, Acent, I am sorry for you. ”
As Bai Cen said, Zhan Zhaochen is indeed a good man.
He is a gentleman and responsible, and because of this, he will marry someone who has a relationship with him but is not what he likes.
Even if he didn't do it voluntarily.
Bai Cen shook his head, "No." ”
It wasn't her who he was sorry for, but himself.
Because of responsibility, he overturned his own life in the second half of his life.
The days to come may be sweet or bitter.
Bai Cen felt that Zhan Zhaochen shouldn't be like this, if he was a little worse, she could accept it, but such a man... After all, it's just that they are shallow, not to mention that she really pities Zhan Zhaochen from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm really sorry, if it hadn't happened, we might have been..." Zhan Zhaochen's expression was gray, and he sighed and whispered.
His appearance made Bai Cen a little moved, and he paused, "Zhan Zhaochen, it's already over." I accept your apology, do you have anything else? ”
Today is his engagement banquet, she doesn't want his future life to jump, if Shen Yuehuan sees it, I don't know what moths will come out.
"I..." Zhan Zhaochen originally wanted to say everything he swallowed when he saw Bai Cen's indifferent expression.
She didn't rejoice in herself after all, but they were indeed happy in the past.
But that's also the past.
After all, it was he who made the mistake first, broke the original promise, and now he is no longer qualified.
Thinking of this, Zhan Zhaochen clenched his palms and said with difficulty, "I know that we can't go back to the past, but this time I saw you put it down, and I was relieved." After all, since I had a relationship with Shen Yuehuan, I have always felt ashamed of you..."
Bai Cen interrupted directly, "You didn't feel sorry for me, Zhan Zhaochen, we have all changed, I am no longer the Bai Cen I used to be, and you are not the Zhan Zhaochen I used to be." ”
Even if there is no Shen Yuehuan's moth, they may not be able to go back to the past.
After all, there is already another person living in her heart.
Although he is less talkative and domineering, she seems to like it very much.
"I know, so can we still be good friends in the future?" Zhan Zhaochen hurriedly spoke, but as soon as these words came out, he seemed to be a little wrong, and hurriedly added, "I don't expect to be able to restore the friendship I once had, but I also hope that you don't refuse my help, even if I make up for you, if you need help in the future, tell me directly, and I will help you without hesitation." ”
He was serious about this.
Bai Cen looked him in the eye this time and thanked him from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you." ”
Zhan Zhaochen pursed the corners of his lips, and his dull lips moved up and down slightly, "I hope you can find your own happiness." ”
"Well, yes, I want you too... I wish you a smoother and smoother path in your future life. Bai Cen paused and said completely, she hoped that he could be happy, but her blessing at the moment fell on Shen Yuehuan and him, which seemed to be a little unacceptable.
After all, Shen Yuehuan used to be someone she didn't like.
And she may not need her own blessings, so I hope that Zhan Zhaochen's career will be prosperous in the future.
Zhan Zhaochen listened to her words, seemed to think of something, and chuckled, "You're still like that." ”
Bai Cen saw that he was relaxed, and he also relaxed his emotions.
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to their first meeting.
"By the way, can you help me investigate something?" Bai Cen thought of what happened before and opened his mouth.
"What's the matter?" Zhan Zhaochen nodded and asked.
Bai Cen glanced around before he said slowly, "Can you help me investigate the fire in the Lu family back then?" ”
Zhan Zhaochen's face changed slightly, the Lu family?
"Is it because of Lu Jingnian?"
Seeing her appearance, I also thought of that man, knowing that she was not qualified to compete now, but seeing her seeking her help for other men, a trace of bitterness spread on the corner of her lips.
"Well, you know I've been a little bit out lately, and the people around me are watching closely, so can you help me?" Bai Cen nodded, looking at Zhan Zhaochen's emotions, but she was bright and bright.
"Okay."
Seeing Zhan Zhaochen nodding, Bai Cen solemnly thanked him, "Thank you Zhan Zhaochen." ”
"It's fine. This is my private number, the Lu family's affairs are private, if I really find something, I will use this number to send it to you. Zhan Zhaochen paused, pressed down the discomfort in his heart, and sent his private number to Bai Cen's mobile phone.
"Okay." Bai Cen nodded and saved the number.
Zhan Zhaochen paused, "If... If you have other urgent matters, you can also call me. ”
"Well, then I'll leave first." Bai Cen looked at his gloomy gaze and opened his mouth to leave.
Zhan Zhaochen nodded.
Bai Cen thanked and said goodbye and turned to leave, not looking at his sad expression.
Zhan Zhaochen's gaze disappeared with the figure before he retracted, thinking of today's day and turning around to return to the courtyard.
Just turned around and saw Shen Yuehuan standing not far away, I don't know how long I listened.
For Shen Yuehuan, he didn't want to quarrel with her.
"What did you tell her? What do you have to say? Did she seduce you? As Zhan Zhaochen passed by, Shen Yuehuan grabbed his hand violently, and her face suppressed her anger.
"We're just friends talking to each other." Zhan Zhaochen spoke.
"Communication? Zhan Zhaochen, do you know that today is our engagement banquet? Shen Yuehuan's shrill voice raised slightly, and she didn't believe this explanation.
She didn't believe it, and Zhan Zhaochen didn't want to say more, "Let's go." ”
"What the hell did you say? Can't you tell me? Shen Yuehuan trembled slightly, and begged a little.
Zhan Zhaochen felt that Shen Yuehuan was a little vexatious, and he made it clear to her that he and Achen would be friends in the future.
It's just that she didn't believe it, and she didn't have much patience when she saw this, so she said coldly, "You don't have to worry about it, I'll send off the guests." ”
After speaking, Zhan Zhaochen turned around and left.
