Chapter 209
After Jingjing's health was completely recovered, their company arranged for her to go to the headquarters in Shanghai for training and studied for more than a month. During this period, she and Li Chao also kept in touch, often sending text messages to each other to talk about interesting things around her or some insights into the world, but there was no sweet words between couples. However, such days made Li Chao feel relaxed and comfortable, without any pressure. Sometimes he even felt that he seemed to fall in love with Jing Jing again.
After Jingjing returned to Jindu, the two were still dating in a plain and intimate manner, without restricting each other, giving each other enough space and freedom. However, Li Chao found that Jingjing sent and received a lot of text messages than before, and she loved to laugh at her phone alone. Li Chao was an old driver. In the past, she was a young man who had been scattered in the pile of powder for many years. She knew through intuition alone that there must be a story about Jingjing.
On this weekend afternoon, Jingjing called Li Chao and asked him to have a meal together in the evening to talk about something. Li Chao was very happy, dressed up handsomely and energetic, so she went to the appointment. On the way there, she also bought Jingjing a bouquet of flowers and a box of truffle chocolates she loved.
Jingjing invited Li Chao to Western food at the highest rotating restaurant in Jindu. During the meal, Jingjing ate very slowly and ate very little. She gave her steak and sweet shrimps almost all of her steak and sweet shrimps. After tasting the dessert, Jingjing held a red wine glass and looked at the beautiful night view outside the window with a bright light and dazzling brilliance. She said with a gentle voice: "I really can't bear to leave this city! I like this place, I like the relaxed pace of life, the delicious food, the people here, and even the grass and trees here, although I almost died here!"
Li Chao picked up the wine glass and was drinking red wine. When she heard her say this, she was shocked. As a result, she choked hard by the wine. She coughed violently and loudly. Jingjing got up and wiped his mouth, patted his back and said angrily: "Look at you, you are so big, and you can't take good care of yourself. I'm not by your side in the future. How about you do this?"
Li Chao took a few big mouthfuls of water, wiped his mouth with his hands, looked at Jingjing and asked, "Are you going? Where are you going? Why have you never heard you mention it?"
Jingjing sat back to her seat, raised her head and drank the red wine in the glass, then looked at Li Chao and said softly: "Li Chao, I'm leaving and never coming back. Originally, I always wanted to find an opportunity to tell you about this matter." After saying that, I took out a transfer order from the Prada bag that I carried and handed it to Li Chao for him to see, and then said: "The company wants to transfer me back to the headquarters in Shanghai in Greater China. Well, it was my own application. Shanghai is very close to my parents' home, so that I can go back to see my father and mother often. If they miss me, it will be very convenient for me to see me. Only now do I truly understand that for me, the most important thing is my family. I am too childish and stupid, and I almost left them forever. If I really am gone, they..." When he said this, Jingjing's eyes were red, and she quickly turned her head and looked out the window, pretending to be enjoying the scenery.
Li Chao handed Jingjing a tissue and said stutteringly: "Then...then I want to miss you, then...then what should I do?"
Of course Jingjing could understand the meaning contained in Li Chao's words. She looked like Qiu Shui and looked at Li Chao and said seriously: "Li Chao, there is another thing I have always wanted to find an opportunity to tell you. I have a college classmate named Song Ping. He has always liked me very much. He once pursued me enthusiastically and is still waiting for me. This time when we arrived in Shanghai, we met, and I told him everything I was here without reservation. He felt very distressed when he heard it. He told me that he could tolerate everything about me, wanted to accompany me, and stay with me until old age. He said that his heart had never changed. I also figured it out that I need a man who loves me, loves me, cares about me, and can tolerate everything about me. I have to be his life. I have agreed to him, so I applied to the company to transfer to the headquarters, because he is also in Shanghai, and the place where he works is very close to our group headquarters..."
These subsequent changes made Li Chao a little confused. He watched Jingjing's mouth open and close, but later he didn't know what she was saying. So he took a few deep breaths and asked timidly: "Then...what should I do?"
Jingjing gently stroked his hand and said gently: "Li Chao, have we all agreed before? We are best friends and cannot interfere with each other's lives. When one party has a good destination, we must sincerely bless each other. Have you forgotten? Believe me, you will meet your lover in this life, and you will live your life with love and happiness. I can see that you still have very important things to complete in this life. I can feel that although I don't know what it is, I know that that thing is very important. You must believe me, Li Chao."
Li Chao thought these were all the words Jingjing comforted him, and couldn't help but beg: "Jingjing, why don't we say this for a while, we might say that we are mutual lovers. Who can tell the matter of fate clearly?"
Jingjing smiled quietly, shook her head gently and said, "You are like opium to me, which will make me addicted and cannot be separated from you. I must not get stuck in it. I want to start my new life. Even if this kind of life is dull and not exciting, it makes me feel very at ease and not silly. Li Chao, now you are family, relatives, and best friends in my heart, so you must bless me, encourage me, support me, and give me courage. Moreover, we can no longer go back to the decadent and irrational life state in the past. Do you understand what I mean?"
Of course Li Chao understood, but he had always regarded Jingjing as a life-saving straw to save him from the sea of suffering. Now that the straw is gone, he was just unwilling to accept it. But now Jingjing has made up her mind, and Li Chao has no choice. He knew that he could not be so selfish anymore. Jingjing was going to Shanghai to start her new life again. He should be happy for her, and he should also wish this he had deeply hurt the poor woman...
Jingjing quickly completed all the procedures, and her colleagues from Jindu Branch held a grand farewell party for her. She also received a lot of gifts from her colleagues, which touched her somewhat.
Jingjing had already bought the air ticket, but Li Chao forced her to return it. He said he wanted to drive Jingjing's new Beetle car to take her to Shanghai. In fact, Li Chao was reluctant to leave Jingjing and wanted to spend more time with her. Jingjing didn't object too much, and she did have a lot of luggage.
Li Chao took Jingjing to set off from Jindu on Tuesday. The two of them traveled around the mountains and rivers, which were both relaxed and comfortable, and were so happy. It was not until the evening of the sixth day that the two arrived in Shanghai.
Song Ping had already been waiting for them in front of Kitaya International Seafood Restaurant. When Li Chao saw that Song Ping was not very tall but still strong; she was not handsome, but she was also majestic, and was quite similar to Zhao Xian, which made Li Chao feel very good about him. Song Ping was very enthusiastic about Li Chao, naturally, and did not deliberately show her intimate appearance with Jingjing in front of Li Chao. During the meal, Song Ping kept toasting, and seemed to be grateful to Li Chao for being reluctant to give up. This made Li Chao feel very uncomfortable. It was just that Song Ping spoke humbly, and Li Chao could not find a reason to vent.
Jingjing said very little, and Li Chao didn't say much. He just kept drinking and burying his head to eat. But when everyone was eating desserts, Li Chao said: "You can live a good life in the future. Song Ping, you must be nice to Jingjing and don't bully her, otherwise I will never give up. You have to swear in front of me!"
Song Ping, who was slightly drunk, really raised his left hand and swore in front of Jingjing: "If I, Song Ping, lose to Ren Jingjing in this life, the world will not tolerate it. Let your brother deal with it at will, and there will be no complaints!"
Jingjing's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she turned her body to wipe her tears. Li Chao's lips were whispered and moved for a long time before she said, "Okay, remember what you said today, don't break your promise. I'll leave Jingjing to you. Have a good life, I wish you happiness!" After that, she grabbed her clothes and left without looking back. She heard Song Ping and Jingjing calling him behind him. Li Chao shed tears and pretended not to hear...
The next day, Li Chao returned to Jindu on the earliest flight. When he got off the plane, he immediately opened his phone and jumped out more than ten text messages, all of which were sent by Jingjing. The content was roughly asking him where he was and asked him to call him quickly. His anxiety was beyond words. Li Chao looked at it and thought: 'Are Jingjing afraid that I can't think of it for the moment?' So he immediately replied to her a message and said: "I have returned to Jindu, I just got off the plane, don't worry! Live a good life with Song Ping, you must be happy!!!"
Then Li Chao seemed to have completed a sacred mission, went home to take a shower, change into new clothes, and went to work.
