Chapter 414 Boss, we must go our separate ways

When Zhang Shuai drove out of the parking lot, Li Jing was sitting obediently beside the hospital's flower bed, holding a bright red rose in her hand, humming a song and looking at him.

Seeing the two people coming out, she excitedly threw away the flowers and got straight into the car.

Tian Xin has always been used to sitting in the back, and this time was no exception, leaving the passenger seat to her.

"Have you two finished talking?" she asked as she approached Zhang Shuai.

Zhang Shuai was driving, his eyes fixed on the fence at the hospital entrance and the rearview mirror. He was a little distracted, so he casually said, "Ah."

"Ah—no more?"

She was a little unhappy, and turned to ask Tian Xin: "What did you two talk about?"

"Of course I'm talking about you." Tian Xin replied with a smile; "This is my brother. He has never been very smart since he was a child. His brain tends to short-circuit when encountering problems. Since he is with you in the future, please be more tolerant and don't look down on him."

This sounds too much like a parent's lecture.

Li Jing couldn't help laughing at that moment. She turned around and kissed Zhang Shuai on the side of his face right in front of Tian Xin. "Of course, you must. He's my man. Of course, I don't dislike him. Not only do I not dislike him, I love him very much. Don't argue with me."

"Tsk!" Zhang Shuai couldn't stand it anymore.

Li Jing's actions were too bold and too ostentatious. Even he felt ashamed to hear such words. How could she have the courage to say them so eloquently?

"You...you sit still and don't move." He put his hand on Li Jing's face and pushed her back to sit down. He added, "My arm hasn't healed yet. If you move again, it will break."

These words worked, and Li Jing immediately sat still.

Tian Xin smiled again, happy for them from the bottom of her heart: "Okay, I won't argue with you. When you two are done, I will still call you sister-in-law."

"Then you can just yell and let me hear it."

"Tsk!" Zhang Shuai was even more speechless.

In terms of climbing up the ladder, Tian Xin felt that she was really not as good as Li Jing, and immediately surrendered: "Sister-in-law."

"Ah——" the answer was equally straightforward.

"That's enough, you two. I'm still alive." Zhang Shuai couldn't stand being attacked like this continuously. As a tough guy, he was so shy that his face turned red.

Perhaps fearing that Li Jing would say something earth-shattering, he immediately changed the subject and asked Tian Xin, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to my house—"

"Go to the Planning Bureau—"

The two said in unison.

Zhang Shuai was stunned: "Uh..."

"Then go to the Planning Bureau first—"

"Then let's go to Li Jing's house first—"

Once again in unison.

The car screeched to a halt on the side of the road. Zhang Shuai opened the window to take a breath and said, "How about you two discuss this?"

"What are you discussing?" Li Jing scolded him, "Tian Xin's matter is more important. Send her off first. I'm not in a hurry to go home. Let's go."

Tian Xin said, "It's okay. I was planning to go to your house today. Let's go."

Li Jing was stunned: "Go to my house? What are you going to do?"

Some ridiculous thoughts immediately popped up in her mind, and she asked Tian Xin: "You're not going to confront my dad about us so soon, are you? Is this what you two were talking about just now?"

Her expression was strange, and Zhang Shuai couldn't understand what was going on. He asked her directly, "What's wrong? Are you scared? It's not too late to regret it. It's nothing serious, so I don't care."

"I'm not afraid of shit!"

Tian Xin was about to explain when Li Jing exploded: "Say it again, you got the guts? What regret? What indifference?"

"No, no, you two, don't... don't do this." Tian Xin's voice cracked in anxiety, and she quickly put out the fire: "I went to your house to discuss business matters with my uncle. It has nothing to do with you two. Don't think too much. Just solve your problems between yourselves. I won't interfere. I won't interfere."

She waved her hands repeatedly and explained clearly.

Li Jing and Zhang Shuai immediately turned off the engine.

The car got back on the road and sped towards Li Jing's house.

"Zhang Shuai, what are you thinking? What were you two talking about just now?"

Li Jing couldn't help but ask.

During these three days, Zhang Shuai took care of her in every possible way and responded to her every request. It can be said that he doted on her to the extreme.

She could tell that he really liked her.

But since he met Tian Xin, his attitude has changed.

She couldn't understand what he was thinking. Tian Xin didn't mind, so why did Zhang Shuai react so strongly? Was he really that embarrassed by liking her?

Zhang Shuai understood what she meant and replied directly, "Li Jing, don't worry, give me some time. My mind is really confused right now, please let me sort it out. When I think it through, I will tell you as soon as possible."

He didn't refuse, nor did he say he didn't like it. He just said to give him time.

Li Jing was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, I'll give you some time. But don't make me wait too long, I can't stand it."

"good."

After saying "OK", Zhang Shuai understood: everything could never go back to the way it was. He and Tian Xin could only get along like family members and could not ask for anything else.

Only at this moment did he finally fully accept this fact.

She has her own way to go.

He also has to have his own life.

All these years of mutual dependence are finally going to be "untied", like a child leaving its mother or a bird leaving its nest to fly far away.

We must come forward and not be refused.

Tian Xin seemed to see what he was thinking, so she turned to Li Jing and said, "Jing, I might be very busy these days, with a lot of things to deal with. I'll leave my brother in your care. When you're not busy, come to the factory to see him. He's always running around, and he doesn't have good personal skills. Please help him out."

This means a complete "handover".

Li Jing immediately accepted the offer: "Okay, I will definitely go and take care of him."

Zhang Shuai didn't say anything until he got to Li Jing's house. He just listened to the two people discussing the topic of "how to take care of him".

After listening to a few words, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, warm and happy.

"Hey, you just said you wanted to discuss business with my dad? What do you mean?"

When they were almost at Li Jing's house, Li Jing finally remembered this.

"What did you talk about with those two old men that night? What was the outcome? I forgot to ask you when I entered the hospital. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. You two being together is more important than my problem. Just forget it."

Tian Xin took the opportunity to tease her and answered her questions one by one: "Talking business with your father means I want to talk business with him. As for what happened that night, I will keep it a secret for now. You will know in a few days. In short, it is a good result."

This answer was as good as nothing. Li Jing didn't understand a word she said, so she asked her again: "Then Uncle Lin didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"I'm in a difficult situation! He threatened me with my marriage to Lin Zhou. Didn't you hear that?"

"I heard it, so what did you tell him later?"

"I made a deal with him," said Tian Xin.

"What deal?"

"What deal—"

Zhang Shuai and Li Jing blurted out at the same time.

Just then they arrived at the place. Tian Xin looked out the window and said with a smile, "You'll know in a moment."
