Chapter 980: Almost Heartbeat
"Okay, I'll be right here." Jiang Jueli glanced at Xiao Lin lightly, at this time, he wanted to leave even more, and continued to be forced by Shen Shi's gaze, he was not even sure how long he could hold on.
"Hours, believe me, I'm not going to do anything to be sorry for you, it's just that it's not time to confess. I know that such a statement seems weak and pale, but if it were not for the last resort, I would not have to hide it from you. Jiang Jueli finally looked at Shen Shi with an affirmative look, hoping that Shen Shi could understand that he had no choice but to do it now.
Looking at the back of Jiang Jueli and Xiao Lin leaving, Shen Shi fell into deep thought. With Shen Shi's understanding of Jiang Jueli, if there was no hardship here, Jiang Jueli would definitely not continue to keep Xiaolin by his side. After all, Jiang Jueli caught himself hiding in Xiaolin's house, and no matter how magnanimous Jiang Jueli was, it was impossible for him not to mind this matter at all.
Suddenly, Shen Shi seemed to think of something, took his handbag, and walked outside the Chen Tower. If Jiang Jueli is unwilling to say the secret behind this matter, then the only one who can tell him is Su Mo.
"Where?" Shen Shi dialed Su Mo's phone, and she had mixed feelings in her heart, she never thought that one day her relationship with Su Mo would be so embarrassing.
"In the company." Su Mo received a call from Shen Shi, and she also felt a sense of the changes in the world.
"Come out and sit down, I'll be waiting for you at our old coffee shop." Shen Shi's tone was non-negotiable, just like when she had cut off Su Mo's hair, with some resoluteness.
Without thinking too much, Su Mo could also understand which coffee shop Shen Shi was talking about, and when she came to the door, looking at the unchanged signboard, Su Mo's heart was filled with bitterness. How close they were when they first partnered, but now their friendship is being put to the test. Many times, Su Mo didn't even know if this test was really because of Jiang Jueli, or if it was between them, there were originally some twists and turns. God, after all, I still won't watch them go too smoothly.
"I've been waiting for a long time" As soon as Su Mo walked in the door, she saw Shen Shi, silently stepped forward and sat in front of Shen Shi.
"No, it's only been a long time coming." Shen Shi said and poured Su Mo a cup of coffee. In the past, the two of them had worked together to develop new varieties, and it was the same way, she gave Su Mo a taste of her results. Every time, Su Mo would praise her results with a very appreciative face. Although it has only been a few years, when I think about it, it already seems like a lifetime.
"It's always the same way it is, and it's not the same as when we left." Su Mo looked around at the coffee shop, in the past few years, she had been fighting with Jiang Jueli, and she hadn't been back here for a long time.
"I asked the hostess, and she said that there were a lot of customers here in the past, and they just wanted this kind of environment, so they insisted on not changing their style. Do you know? Now the two partners here are also two girls, just like us at the beginning, dragging their families to run the business. Shen Shi said, smiling lightly.
Shen Shi's smile reminded Su Mo of the scene when the two of them were here many years ago, when Xu Chen was still there, Jiang Jueli had not changed so much. The reality is not as cruel as it is now, and they are still friends who talk about everything.
The two were silent, just looking at the scenery outside the window. Occasionally, a little couple or good friend passed by, and the sound of frolicking made Su Mo and Shen Shi's hearts feel more and more.
"It's been a long time since we've had such a quiet cup of coffee, and over the years in the company, I still miss it when I think of the time we used to sit quietly in the store." Su Mo took a sip of coffee and turned her head to look at Shen Shi.
"yes, the old days are really nostalgic." Shen Shi also looked at Su Mo, and the two looked at each other, their eyes full of regret for the past.
"Young, we have been friends for so many years, I never thought that one day the two of us would be so strange. I know you blame me, but please believe that Jiang Jueli will not do anything to betray you, everything you saw that day was really just a coincidence. Su Mo explained, not wanting Shen Shi to continue to be sad.
"What about you? Have you ever had a different idea about Jiang Jueli? In fact, Shen Shi thought about it carefully later, there are many women like Su Mo around Jiang Jueli, and it is not so easy to make him tempted. But Su Mo is different.
Hearing Shen Shi's question, Su Mo was silent. Su Mo's silence made Shen Shi's heart sink to the bottom suddenly, originally thought that Su Mo would at least deny it in front of him, but he didn't expect Su Mo to be silent and acquiesce.
"I have supported the Xu family for so many years, and I never thought about who I would have a relationship with. After all, I already have Tony, after all, we've been through so much between us. But, as a child, can you understand that feeling? Every time I needed someone to support me, it was Jiang Jueli who stood behind me and gave me confidence. Tony loved me very much, but he couldn't help me in my career in the slightest. I knew that I should stay away from Jiang Jueli, but for the sake of the Xu family, I had no way to draw a line with him. Su Mo's voice was very low, as if she was blaming herself and warning herself.
Shen Shi listened to Su Mo's words and didn't say anything, just looked at Su Mo in a daze, not knowing what to answer. If Su Mo didn't say it, she would never have thought about this, but Su Mo's words made Shen Shi speechless. Although Su Mo's emotions are very undeserved, Shen Shi, who is also a woman, can understand Su Mo's feelings. After all, who doesn't want someone to support themselves when they're vulnerable.
"Little, if I were still single, if I hadn't already had Tony, I don't know how things would have gotten out. Although I have scolded myself many times, there is no way to deceive myself or control it with reason. I admit that in the years I have been working with Jiang Jueli, I have had many moments when I was almost moved. But, I swear, every time I let my thoughts stop. After all, I have Tony, I have Sisi, and you're my best friend. Su Mo explained, trying to get Shen Shi not to complain too much about himself.
"Actually, I can understand you, listening to you say this, I can gradually understand why there are always so many temptations by Jiang Jueli's side. Perhaps, whether it is you or anyone, you didn't think about what to do with Jiang Jueli at the beginning, but if things continue, there is no way to control people's feelings. I understand you, but I still can't forgive you. Whether it is from Tony's point of view or from my point of view, your delusions about Jiang Jueli are a needle, pierced in my heart. Shen Shi said, drank the coffee, and then took the bag and left.
For the first time, Su Mo watched a person leave, and she felt such a deep sense of loss. Even Xu Chen's death didn't make Su Mo feel so desperate, after all, she had known Shen Shi for a longer time than she had known Xu Chen.
After leaving the coffee shop, Shen Shi was in a complicated mood. On the one hand, it makes her happy to be sure that there is no relationship between Jiang Jueli and Su Mo, but on the other hand, getting such an answer from Su Mo's mouth makes her very uncomfortable. For so many years, Shen Shi has always thought that no matter how far Su Mo and Jiang Jueli get along, it is absolutely impossible for the two to have any feelings for each other. But hearing Su Mo say this today, Shen Shi suddenly doubted his judgment.
In addition, Shen Shi seemed to be able to understand why she and Jiang Jueli had to go through so many tests over the years. Perhaps, these tests are not just because Jiang Jueli is in a position that is too accessible to all kinds of temptations. There is also the fact that Shen Shi has not seen clearly, she and Jiang Jueli have too few common topics, even Su Mo can become an arm of Jiang Jueli, but she has never been.
Even when she was in Jiahua back then, her starting point was never to help Jiang Jueli anything, she always thought about herself. Compared with other women, perhaps she loves Jiang Jueli too little, at least she never thought of becoming all of Jiang Jueli's dependence. No matter when, Jiang Jueli is allowed to rely on herself, and she has no intention of being strong.
The ambiguity between Su Mo and Jiang Jueli was like a slap in the face, which woke up Shen Shi and made her begin to figure out what path she was going to take next.
And Su Mo, who walked out of the coffee shop, returned home with loneliness and strong self-blame. Seeing her daughter's smile and Tony's expectant eyes, Su Mo's feeling of self-blame became deeper and deeper.
"Tony, let's get a divorce." Su Mo whispered, not like holding the initiative, but like a woman who was abandoned.
"What?" Tony didn't seem to hear clearly, looking at Su Mo, he felt as if he had heard a joke, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
"I mean really, let's get a divorce." Su Mo lowered her eyes with a strong sense of powerlessness.
Handed over his daughter to the nanny, Tony asked the nanny to take her daughter to avoid it first.
"Xiaomo, is it because I've been too busy at work lately, and you're complaining about me? I promise you, I'll take some more time out in the future, okay, don't make a fuss. Tony walked in front of Su Mo and wanted to gently take Su Mo into his arms, but Su Mo dodged him.
"No, it's my problem. Tony, divorce is good for you and Sisi. Tomorrow I'll have someone bring the agreement, and I don't want anything but my daughter. Su Mo said, turned her back, tried to hold back her tears, and left.
Tony hadn't reacted yet, thinking that Su Mo was just impulsive, and he didn't know what stimulation he had received. In addition to being puzzled, Tony is more aggrieved. It was Su Mo who was obviously making a scandal, but his trust made Su Mo make a fuss.
