I listened to her in silence. Hai Tang added, "I thought I could marry him without a hitch. Even if there were a lot of women around him, I didn't care, because I decided that I was the most qualified woman to stand by his side. It was this thought that bit by bit engulfed me and made me more and more unlike myself. I even..."
"Chen Qing, do you understand me? I've been thinking about it all this time and looking back on the past. I asked myself why I became like this. In the end, I figured out that people like us shouldn't have love. Our marriage was destined to be a tool of the family, so when my mother asked me to marry Jiang Miao, I agreed without hesitation."
"What about now? What are you trying to figure out and why are you looking for me?" I asked.
Hai Tang became more and more excited as he spoke. "Jiang Miao's escape from marriage suddenly gave me hope. He did what I didn't dare to do. I wanted to be as unrestrained as he was and be brave enough to live for my own thoughts."
"So?"
She suddenly fell to her knees in front of me, and I got up from my chair in fear. "What are you doing?"
"Chen Qing, I beg you, will you give me Ah Jing? I really like him and love him very much. If I can't be with him for the rest of my life, I don't think there's any point in living another day. If I didn't love him to the bone, I wouldn't... Chen Qing, I'll promise you anything you want. I'll give you anything, as long as you give him to me."
I still remember the first time I met Hai Tang, she was elegant and generous, her temperament was like a begonia flower, and now she was kneeling in front of me for a man. I couldn't understand her love, but the love I thought was definitely not like this.
"Get up first. It's cold on the floor." I helped her.
She shook her head with tears on her face. "I really can't help it. Sometimes I wonder if god is giving me hope that Jiang Miao is running away from marriage. Let me not give up on Ah Jing. I've loved him for so many years. I've really loved him since I was a child. As long as I can be with him, I can do anything. Chen Qing, I beg you, I beg you."
"You are a human being, a person with dignity. Even if you love someone, you can't lose your dignity. Do you understand?" I whispered. More and more people were watching. I didn't like the awkwardness.
"No, I don't want dignity. Just promise me. Just promise me." Hai Tang tugged at my hand and my clothes.
I took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. I hated her behavior. Did she use her tears and kneel to kidnap others?
"If you are willing to kneel, then kneel here yourself. I have something to do upstairs. I'll go up first."
I turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly stood up and grabbed my arm. "Chen Qing, I know you want your child. I can help you. You take your child away. I'll arrange it."
I found it unbelievable. "How did you know I wanted a child?"
"I... I don't know either, but I promise you anything you want, as long as you can get out of here." She looked at me earnestly. I didn't think her eyes were fake. Instead, I felt that she was pushed to a dead end by her love.
What she said was a temptation to me. I wanted to leave with my child, but the Fu family was eyeing my child, and I couldn't bear to part with Fu Jing. I didn't know what to do.
Hai Tang wiped away her tears and said firmly, "You're not in a hurry to choose right now. Take your time and think about it. You can come to me anytime you want. Believe me, my family will help me if they know I have a chance to marry Fu Jing. It's not difficult for our family to hide you, right? You trust me."
I listened to her, but I left the coffee shop without any response.
The scenes just now were still hovering in my mind. I had been thinking about how to keep my child. This was an opportunity, and it all depended on whether I could grasp it or not.
Walking to Fu Jing's office, he was busy. I looked at him like that and engraved his eyebrows into my heart.
"What's wrong with you? What did Hai Tang say to you?" Fu Jing beckoned me over.
As soon as I sat on his lap, he habitually touched my stomach. "I didn't say anything. I told him about my escape from marriage." Anyway, I don't have the courage to mention jiang miao in front of him.
Fu Jing scratched my nose. "You don't have to worry about her."
"What about you? Do you know how to handle it? She doesn't seem to want to marry Jiang Miao very much." I looked at Fu Jing.
"No matter what, we have nothing to do with each other." His attitude was indifferent.
I sometimes feel that Fu Jing is cruel to women. Apart from me, I like his cruelty on the one hand, and on the other hand, I am afraid that one day this cruelty will fall on me, which always makes me feel like I am in danger of gain and loss.
I leaned against his shoulder, and in a moment he couldn't hold back his enthusiasm for work, so I had to give his time to work and play by myself.
The baby in my stomach was the same every day. When I touched it, it felt a little hard to press it in. The older the baby was, the closer it was for me to be apart from him. I became dazed and hesitated between choosing the baby or Fu Jing.
"Chen Qing, you're in a daze again." Fu Jing knocked on my head.
I quickly came back to my senses. "Maybe I'm pregnant and my brain has degenerated. Recently, my sister's side has been quite quiet. There's nothing for me to worry about. I can handle all the work. I may be free."
"You should revise this contract and make appropriate changes according to the contents of the meeting the other day." As soon as he heard that I was free, he immediately sent me a job.
I curled my lips. "There's no boss like you. You can't just watch me relax for a while. You still have to find me something to do."
"You can make it for Mandy if you don't."
"That's a good relationship. She must be very happy to help you. I mean it." My eyes lit up and I took the job. Anyway, this contract is not afraid that Fu Zhong knows, so Mandy can read it.
When I took it over, Mandy was really happy. I told her that I couldn't get the contract, and she took it over quite proudly. She was pretty pretty.
"President fu said that you know a lot and are careful. You will definitely do well. By the way, you will need it today. Remember to send it to president fu when you are done. I won't disturb you." I said that and left.
I stood outside her office and looked at her. The smile on my face was so sweet.
Tsk tsk, why is Fu Jing so charming? What kind of woman can resist his charm when he uses a handsome trick?
No, no need. I'm not stupid. I have to make good use of Fu Jing's resources. Anyway, Mandy always prides herself on being efficient, so I'll leave her to do the unimportant work and help her with Fu Jing's help.
As soon as she heard that she had handed it to Fu Jing herself, she was so happy. However, every time she went to Fu Jing's office, it was nice to get a look.
If I were her, I wouldn't take the bait. She was different. When she was still going to do the same thing, she would still be willing to do the work I asked her to do. It made me feel a little pity for her and stop bothering her.
When I talked to Fu Jing about it, he gave me a blank look. "Chen Qing, are you sure your brain isn't being squeezed by the door?"
