Chapter 9 Letting go is the last dignity



After watching the movie, Lin Shiyu cried bitterly, and kept complaining to Chen Jing why she chose such a sad movie, which made her makeup disappear. But if you look closely, Chen Jing also cried and her makeup disappeared.

Although she wiped away the tears from her face after coming out of the cinema, the redness in the corners of her eyes and her slightly swollen eyelids all showed the pain she had just felt.

Some people cried for the regret that the male protagonist in the play froze to death on the road while trying to see his lover, and some people cried for the female protagonist who didn't wait for the boy she loved to stand in front of her.

Some people cried because the boy in their memory was lost.

Everyone has his or her own regrets. Things in this world are unpredictable. Maybe even God is telling everyone that what does not belong to you will eventually leave you. It’s just a matter of time.

It's time to let go, maybe it really is time to let go.

After the two walked out of the cinema, Chen Jing offered to take Lin Shiyu home, but Lin Shiyu refused, saying that her family's driver would come to pick her up later and that Chen Jing wouldn't be needed. Only after the driver arrived and Lin Shiyu got in the car and said goodbye did Chen Jing get in her own car and drive home.

On the way, Chen Jing was driving while thinking about her emotions. Thinking about Lu Ziyang's reaction after she mentioned divorce this morning, she couldn't stop having a headache. Was it because she mentioned it so suddenly that he thought I was joking? It seemed that she needed to find a time to sit down and talk calmly, so that he would feel that I was serious.

Since you don't love each other anymore, there is no need to continue to be bound. If you love with all your heart when you love, then there will be no regrets when you break up. Since you can't go back, you might as well let go gracefully.

Let her be the bad guy.

Chen Jing did not drive the car directly home. She drove to the coffee shop downstairs from her house. Yes, it was the coffee shop where she witnessed Lu Ziyang's cheating last night.

She walked in, ordered an iced Americano, and sat where Lu Ziyang had sat last night. She took a sip of the coffee. Hmm, it was bitter, very bitter, but compared to the bitterness she had felt standing outside the store last night and witnessing everything, it seemed insignificant.

She sat here quietly, imagining how Lu Ziyang sat here last night. She really wanted to know what Lu Ziyang was thinking at that moment. He probably never thought about his wife at home. He might be very proud, with his lovely wife waiting for him at home and a beauty in his arms outside. The more Chen Jing thought about it, the more painful she felt. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to get stuck in a dead end. Her fingers unconsciously clenched into fists, and her nails dug into the flesh. A trace of pain brought her back to reality.

She couldn't go on making such mistakes any longer. Chen Jing wouldn't allow herself to be trapped in pain.

After taking the last sip of coffee, Chen Jing wiped her mouth with a tissue, turned around and left the coffee shop. Her resolute figure was as firm as her heart at the moment.

Arriving at her door, Chen Jing took a deep breath and opened it. The living room wasn't as bright as usual, leaving only a dim light. In the dim light, a familiar figure lazily sat on the sofa. Lu Ziyang exuded a cold, unapproachable aura. He lowered his head and didn't react at all to the sound of Chen Jing opening the door.

Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, and had no intention of talking to him. She walked straight into the bedroom. Just as she took two steps, the man's voice rang out faintly.

"Where have you been? Why are you home so late?"

Lu Ziyang's voice was full of questions, which made Chen Jing very unhappy. Why, could it be that she couldn't even go out now? She was not Lu Ziyang's pet. Chen Jing did not answer the man's words. Chen Jing's attitude seemed to make Lu Ziyang even more angry.

"I'm asking you a question, can't you hear me? Speak!"

Lu Ziyang growled with a cold face. This attitude shocked Chen Jing. She rarely saw Lu Ziyang lose his composure like this. The last time was when he picked up the hairpin. Chen Jing replied in an impatient tone.

"What? Am I a dog? Do you care where I go?"

Lu Ziyang didn't expect that Chen Jing, who was always gentle, would say such words. Thinking about everything that happened this morning, he thought Chen Jing was still angry about something trivial. He stood up irritably and walked towards Chen Jing, grabbing her arm.

"Chen Jing, stop it. It's just a trivial matter. How long are you going to make a fuss about it?"

A trivial matter? You actually described your infidelity as a trivial matter. Haha, Lu Ziyang, why didn't I realize how thick-skinned you are before?

Chen Jing shook off the hand that was restraining her. Lu Ziyang was completely irritated. He grabbed Chen Jing's stubborn face and said sternly:

"I'm giving you a way out. Don't be ungrateful. Don't come home so late in the future. I don't like it. Do you understand?"

Chen Jing didn't know how a man's face could change so quickly. How could the man who used to hold her in his arms with such tenderness and affection and call her Jing'er, Jing'er, be so violent now?

She couldn't quite figure out the man in front of her. It seemed like she had never understood the real him. What was the real Lu Ziyang like?

Just when Chen Jing was about to open her mouth to refute, Lu Ziyang's cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the tense atmosphere.

Lu Ziyang released the hand that was restraining Chen Jing, picked up the phone and took a look, then immediately walked to the balcony to answer the call. The gentle voice floated in from the balcony, "What's wrong? Didn't we just meet? Okay, okay, I'll be there in a while. Be good and don't wander around." It was obviously not a work call. Apart from that woman, who else could make Lu Ziyang treat her like this?

When they were deeply in love, Lu Ziyang also spoke to Chen Jing in this tone. How could she not be familiar with it? That was the person she loved. She had seen how he loved her, so how could she not know what it would be like when he didn't love her anymore?

Lu Ziyang hung up the phone, walked towards Chen Jing, and said perfunctorily, "I have something to do and need to go out. Don't wait for me." Of course I don't have to wait for you. Someone is waiting to serve you. How could you come back to see my cold face? Chen Jing thought so. When she came to her senses, Lu Ziyang had already left the door impatiently.

Chen Jing just looked at the door and smiled, and did not stay there in pain like she did in the morning.

She turned around and went back to her room, changed her clothes and took a shower. It was really unnecessary to hurt herself for an unfaithful man.
