With the new environment and everything on her mind, Jiang Sese tossed and turned in bed, only falling asleep at daybreak.When she woke up, it was noon already.She felt much better after the sleep and could think straight again.Since she had chosen to leave, she decided that she would leave everything behind. She wouldn't be trapped in a relationship that hadn't been meant for her.Patting her cheeks, she smiled. "That's right. I can't let myself fall like this anymore. Mom's medical bill needs me."After washing herself and getting changed, Jiang Sese left the apartment.She had to find a job. She knew she wouldn't think of those things once she got busy....More than two weeks had passed since then, but there was still no news about Jiang Sese.Jin Fengchen was getting grumpier by the day and would throw a tantrum for no reason. As a result, all the employees were living on tenterhooks, fearing that they might mess something up and draw the fire upon themselves.Even Ji
After yelling out those words in a hysterical manner, Su Qingyin glared at Jin Fengchen with eyes filled with hatred.Compared to her agitation, Jin Fengchen looked rather calm."How did you know that?" asked Jin Fengchen."What?" Su Qingyin frowned."How did you know that Sese had a child without getting married?""That's because..." Su Qingyin had been in a fit of anger, but began to panic a little now. She avoided eye contact, and then snorted coldly. "If she doesn't want people to know it, the best way is not to do it!"Jin Fengchen narrowed his eyes. "No, I've had Fengyao block the news already. Where could you have heard it? Unless... you were the one behind it."Su Qingyin looked panicked for a split second. Without giving his words much thought, she retorted in a hurry. "No. I didn't make that post.""That post?" Jin Fengchen's black eyes twinkled. "I don't think I've mentioned anything about a 'post'."Su Qingyin was really panicking now, but she was able to calm hers
Ever since Jiang Sese was gone, Xiaobao had been sent to his grandparents' place by Jin Fengchen."Uncle, when is my mommy coming back?" Hiding in his room, Xiaobao called Jin Fengyao.Jin Fengyao looked back at Jiang Zhen, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, and replied, "Xiaobao, be a good boy. Your mommy will be back soon.""Really? Uncle, don't lie to me.""I'm not.""All right. I'll make an exception and believe you this once."Hearing Xiaobao's grownup reply, Jin Fengyao couldn't help bursting out laughing. "Xiaobao, I still have something to take care of. Talk to you later.""Bye-bye."Xiaobao hung up, thought for a moment with the phone in his hands, then he found Jiang Sese's number and dialed it."I'm sorry, the number you dialed is not available at the moment..."The phone call still wouldn't go through!Xiaobao lowered his head in frustration."It's been ages. Why won't Mommy pick up? Why is she so busy?"He decided that after his mommy got back from h
Jiang Zhen was telling the truth. Jin Fengyao knew that his sister-in-law had no love for this father of hers.After pondering for a moment, Jin Fengyao said, "All right. I believe it. You didn't help my sister-in-law get away. But you can't say the same thing about what happened five years ago.""I...""Wait. I'm not done talking yet." Jin Fengyao raised a hand and stopped Jiang Zhen from saying anything.Struck by an ominous feeling, Jiang Zhen looked at Jin Fengyao, feeling ill at ease.Jin Fengyao smiled all of a sudden. "I forgot to tell you something. My bodyguards here have all been rigorously trained. Their beating will leave no external injuries, only internal ones."He looked as if he had said the most normal thing, but to Jiang Zhen, that was an outright warning.Darting around anxiously, Jiang Zhen smiled obsequiously. "Second Young Master, let's talk like civilized people. What do you want to know? I'll tell you everything."Jin Fengyao looked pleased. "If only you
"Brother, I've found out about her past."Jin Fengyao started speaking the moment he saw his brother.He told him everything that Jiang Zhen had told him.Jin Fengchen was so shocked to hear the truth that even his fingers were trembling.Jiang Sese's past didn't bother him in the slightest. Even now, after finding out the truth, he only felt sorry that she had suffered."How could she be so silly?" Jin Fengchen closed his eyes and smiled wryly.It felt as if something had crushed his chest, making it painful to breathe.Her past had resulted in her low self-esteem, leading her to think that she was unworthy of him until she eventually chose to leave him.But she was the victim, wasn't she?Jin Fengchen regretted everything.He regretted not investigating her past just because he wanted to respect her. That resulted in her shouldering all of her burdens and facing everything on her own when the truth was exposed."I'm such a bastard!"The regret on his brother's face upset
"It's good that Jin Fengchen thinks Sese is still in Jin City." "That way, Sese can live peacefully in South City." With such a thought in mind, Lu Zheng called Jiang Sese."Senior Lu."The corner of his mouth curved when he heard Jiang Sese's gentle voice in his ear. "How is work going?"Jiang Sese glanced at her colleague, who was burying her head in work, and smiled. "Not bad.""Have you gotten used to things? Do you get along with your colleagues?"Jiang Sese's smile deepened at the clear concern in his words. "Senior Lu, you were the one who introduced me to this job. There's no way that it'd be terrible."Lu Zheng laughed cheerfully. "I'm just glad that you're adapting well."She chuckled and said nothing more.A brief silence hung over them before Lu Zheng said, "Sese.""Yeah?"He hesitated for a beat. "He's looking for you."Even though Lu Zheng didn't name anyone, she knew who he was referring to."He's looking for me." Her heart hurt as her grip tightened ar
When Jin Fengchen returned home and saw Li Yuanyuan, his eyes darkened as he turned around to leave.Seeing this turned Li Yuanyuan's expression unsightly."Fengchen, where are you going?" Mrs. Jin chased after her son.Jin Fengchen didn't even spare his mother a glance and said coldly, "Home."Jin Fengyao happened to return the moment they arrived at the door.He looked at his brother, confused as to why he was leaving. "Brother, where are you going?"Jin Fengchen didn't reply. He walked around him and exited the door.Oblivious to what was going on, Jin Fengyao stopped his mother from leaving and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with him?""Don't stop me."Mrs. Jin pushed his hand away and chased after Jin Fengchen; she didn't have the time to entertain Jin Fengyao's question."What the hell is going on?"He frowned, bewildered.He got his answer when he entered the house and found Li Yuanyuan in the living room.It seemed that his mother had yet to give up trying to find a wom
The days continued to pass. Besides spending time with her mother in the hospital on the weekends, Jiang Sese spent most of her time traveling back and forth between her home and the office. Only sometimes would she drop by the supermarket to purchase groceries.Her days were simple.She wasn't used to it in the beginning, so she would lose sleep over missing Jin Fengchen and Xiaobao. Gradually, however, work began to occupy her life, and she stopped having the free time to think about them.Whenever she was idle, she would think about them. Everything between them felt like a dream.She had simply snapped out of her dream now.There was a lost smile on her face. Perhaps, she would soon forget about them, and they would forget about her.That wouldn't be such a bad thing....Jiang Sese had never joined any of the team gatherings since joining the company, prompting her colleagues' complaints."Sese, you're acting like a loner. Never mind our team gatherings, you don't even jo
