Chapter 69

"Something to drink?"

Without resentment, hostility, indifference, or restraint, Chen Liang's attitude is very peaceful. As Dong Dong said, it's really like just facing an old classmate.

"Have a glass of lemonade."

Jiang Xin whispered.

Chen Liang raised his hand and summoned the waiter.

"A glass of lemonade, thank you."

"OK, just a moment, please."

The waiter nodded and left. He took back his eyes, looked at Jiang Xin, smiled and asked, "I didn't go to work today?"

Jiang Xin smiled.

"I work more freely and have a rest today."

Chen Liang nodded.

"I remember you said you wanted to work in a bank. Has your dream come true?"

He asked with a smile, like an old friend greeting, without deliberately avoiding the past.

Jiang Xin shook her head, and the corners of her mouth rose, making some self mockery.

"No. after graduation, I submitted resumes of several banks and passed the written examination interview, but at the last step, I was crowded out by related customers. It was the case when I went to two or three banks. In places like banks, there was no background, and ordinary people really couldn't get in, so I gave up."

Chen Liang sighed.

"What a pity."

His expression was very sincere, not like gloating.

Jiang Xin glanced at him and whispered, "I'm working in Gong Zisheng's company now."

Chen Liang's face remained unchanged, and even his face was still smiling. He nodded and said, "very good. The monitor is developing well now. You are in his company. Everyone is alumni, and he can take care of you."

Jiang Xin's pupils contracted slightly. It seems that she didn't expect the other party to respond like this.

Anyway, they used to be lovers. When they heard such news, did they really have no objection at all?

Although she doesn't want Chen Liang to misunderstand, Jiang Xin is still a little uncomfortable to see Chen Liang's reaction at this time.

"Hello, your lemonade."

The waiter brought the lemonade with a tray and put it in front of Jiang Xin.

"Thank you."

After the waiter left, Jiang Xin adjusted her mood and continued: "at the beginning, Gong Zisheng invited me to his company. Because I owed him a sum of money, I couldn't refuse, so I had to promise."

"You owe him money?"

Hearing the speech, Chen Liang's expression finally fluctuated and frowned slightly.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Xin was delighted when she saw this, but she didn't show it. She held the glass in her hands and explained, "because my mother had a serious illness a few years ago, I need money to treat my mother, but I don't know anyone. Gong Zisheng took the initiative to lend me 300000 after hearing about it."

"Aunt is ill? When did this happen?"

Chen Liang showed concern.

Although he has never seen Jiang Xin's mother, he can often hear Jiang Xin and her mother talking at the meeting of love. In a word, he can feel that the other party doesn't approve of Jiang Xin's being with him.

But this is understandable.

At that time, he was just a poor boy whose parents died. I'm afraid any parents would not be willing to give their daughter to such a person.

"It's about two or three months after graduation."

Two or three months after graduation, this is the time when Jiang Xin and she broke up.

Did Jiang Xin break up with herself because her mother was ill?

However, Chen Liang didn't ask in a hurry, but took the lead in caring: "how's aunt now? Is she all right?"

Jiang Xin nodded.

"After several operations, it's all right."

Chen Liang nodded.

"That's good."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Xin couldn't help feeling.

From the beginning to the end, she never felt that there was a problem with Chen Liang's character. There was only one reason why her mother strongly opposed her being with Chen Liang, that is, she hated Chen Liang poor.

If my mother knew that the poor boy who had nothing in her eyes was now driving tens of millions of super runs, I don't know how she would feel?

"Chen Liang, the reason why I was so anxious to break up with you was because my mother was ill and I needed to go back to take care of her. At that time, I didn't have the energy to think about things between us. I just wanted to go back to take care of my mother."

Jiang Xin stares at Chen Liang with her eyes cleaner than lemonade.

"I know that my hasty decision to break up with you must have hurt you. Later, we lost contact, so I haven't had a chance to explain. That's why I asked Dong Dong to ask you out this time in order to explain what happened in person."

With the words, her light makeup face showed apology and guilt.

"I've been telling you myself... I'm sorry."

Listening to the long overdue explanation, Chen Liang was silent for a moment, and then smiled.

"Why didn't you tell me when my aunt was ill?"

"What's the use of telling you?"

"At that time, we just graduated and it was a critical period for employment. You were busy looking for jobs everywhere. Did I ask you to go back with me to take care of my mother?"

Jiang Xin shook her head.

"It's not fair to you."

Chen Liang, calm down.

He is no longer the naive young man at the beginning. He can't believe what others say.

No matter how true or false Jiang Xin's explanation is, it's enough to explain some problems only when she thought of giving herself an explanation after so long.

As for the loss of contact.

Don't be funny.

Even when they broke up, they deleted their contact information, but he didn't believe that the other party would delete Dong Dong's number, and she was still working in Gong Zisheng's company. As long as she had a heart, how could she not contact herself.

But anyway, no matter how true or false the story is, it can at least solve a knot in my heart.

"Thank you for your willingness to give me an explanation, even if it comes two years late."

Chen Liangyang smiled.

Jiang Xin bit her lower lip and whispered, "would you... Forgive me?"

This sentence "forgive" is somewhat meaningful.

Chen Liang looked at her.

"Falling in love is what two people love and I want. Both sides have the right to decide their own fate. You didn't do anything wrong and don't need to apologize at all."

At this moment, Chen Liang still has a peaceful smile on his face and a friendly tone, but there is always a strange sense of distance.

Jiang Xin bit her lower lip harder again.

"I really know I'm wrong, Chen Liang. Can you give me another chance? I'll really make up for you."

Chen Liang's eyes were calm. He looked at the woman he really wanted to spend his life with, and whispered softly.

"Life is like an adverse one-way street. There is no time to turn back."

It's like talking to each other.

It's like talking to himself.

After that, he stopped staying, took out his wallet, took out a few hundred yuan bills and put them on the table.

"I have something else to do, so I'll go first."

Soon, he got up and passed Jiang Xin.

The footsteps faded away.

Jiang Xin sat in her seat and stared at the bills. Her face tightened and her lips were almost bitten by herself.
