Chapter 217 No pain, no sadness
She slowly loosened her grip on his hand, her body shaking uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face again, her tone completely broken.
She suddenly shook her head, as if to comfort herself, or as if to question him.
"Ah Che, if you really like my sister..."
Her voice paused and she took a deep breath.
"I'm willing to give up my position."
A smile appeared on Xu Yingluo's face, one that was hard to tell whether it was bitter or sad.
“It’s been like this since I was a kid.”
Her voice was so soft that it seemed like it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
"I will give my sister anything she wants. Even if I don't, she will find a way to take it away. Rather than making things so ugly in the end, it's better for me to let go and fulfill her wish."
After saying this, she seemed unable to bear it any longer, pushed him away and turned away.
After taking only two steps, her feet went weak and she fell to the cold floor.
Jiang Chejin's pupils suddenly shrank.
Before her brain could react, her body had already rushed out, stretched out her long arms, and pulled her limp body into her arms.
Xu Yingluo's tears fell like beads from a broken string, the sound was incoherent.
"Ah Che..."
She choked and clutched his clothes tightly with her hands.
"Don't be so nice to me anymore..."
"You're so good to me, I won't be able to let you go."
Jiang Chejin looked at the girl who was shaking with tears in his arms, and his head buzzed.
What is he doing?
In the beginning, wasn't it just to vent Luo Luo's anger and because he couldn't stand Xu Yueqing's behavior that he deliberately stayed with her?
But what about now?
He made Luo Luo cry.
For the woman he always said he hated, he hurt the girl he swore to protect his whole life.
Jiang Chejin, you are really a piece of shit.
A huge sense of guilt overwhelmed him like a tide.
Jiang Chejin tightened his arms, pressing Xu Yingluo tightly into his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head, his voice urgent and hoarse.
"Luo Luo, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"There is only you in my world. It was you before, it is you now, and it will only be you in the future!"
He said this quickly and forcefully, as if he was assuring her, but more like he was trying to convince himself.
Xu Yingluo stopped struggling, wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her face in his arms, and cried silently.
"Ah Che..."
A soft and gentle call, with complete dependence.
In the past, Jiang Chejin would have felt his heart melt.
But now, when this call fell into his ears, it inexplicably made him feel indescribable distress in his heart.
At the same time, Xu Yueqing stood quietly in front of the huge French window.
From this angle, she could just see the two people hugging each other downstairs. She couldn't even make out their expressions, but she could imagine Xu Yingluo's pitiful look, and she could also imagine the heartache written all over Jiang Chejin's face.
My heart feels like a stone soaked in ice water, and has long lost all feeling.
No pain, no sadness.
She just felt that the scene before her eyes was like a lousy drama with a script already written, and she had finally completely extricated herself from the role that was at the mercy of others.
Steady footsteps were heard behind me.
"Has the farmhand not arrived yet?"
Xu Yueqing turned her head and Ji Bingqian had already walked to her side.
He followed her gaze downwards without asking further questions.
The two stood side by side, silently overlooking the farce downstairs that had not yet ended.
"Mr. Tian told me to wait for him for a while." Xu Yueqing retracted his gaze and said in a flat voice, "He brought the backup data from home with him, so it will be more complete."
