No one present was surprised, and even Jiang's mother knew exactly what was going on.
She had a feeling that Shen Ru definitely had a lot to say to Qin Yiheng and Jiang Yan, so she went back to her room first, leaving them some private space.
Jiang Yan stared at the dining table in front of her, nodded, but still asked, "Have you thought it through?"
"I've already packed my things and bought my ticket. I'll go back now while I can still go home and celebrate the last days of the Mid-Autumn Festival." Shen Ru's answer was somewhat irrelevant, but it was the best response she could give.
From the beginning to the end of the matter, less than a month had passed, but it felt like a whole year had gone by.
After great ups and downs, after great joy and sorrow... peace returns.
"Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?" Qin Yiheng asked.
Shen Ru had certainly considered this question, so she answered it without difficulty. She smiled and said, "Although my hometown isn't as developed as Chongqing, it's stable and peaceful. I plan to take a vacation first and then go back to work next spring. After all, the year's plan starts in spring..."
Putting everything else aside, Shen Ru has really worked incredibly hard all these years.
If she hadn't cared so much about her work, she wouldn't have had such a hostile competitive relationship with her colleagues, and she wouldn't have agreed to Qiwei's demands to satisfy her own selfish desires, which gradually escalated into this situation.
This is all related to her own vanity.
So it's time to stop and take a good look at the road ahead. Is it still the path you initially wanted to take? If you've made a mistake, there's still time to make amends and there's still a chance.
It's already October, and there's not much time left until the Lunar New Year. Shen Ru has indeed felt somewhat guilty towards her family over the years, so going back to spend some time with them might not be a bad thing.
"Okay, since you've already made up your mind, then that's settled. Yiheng and I will take you to the station in a bit." Jiang Yan didn't say anything more.
Sometimes she would think about Shen Ru and what she would do if she were Shen Ru.
There are, of course, many different answers, and going home is also one of her considerations.
So when Shen Ru brought it up yesterday, Jiang Yan wasn't surprised at all; she just didn't expect her to want to leave so soon.
However, the company is now gradually getting back on track, and Shen Ru has helped a lot, so there is no need to keep her here. We should respect her opinion.
Shen Ru's luggage was indeed all packed, and Jiang Yan was inevitably a little surprised when she took it out.
"You didn't expect this, did you? I didn't expect it either. After so many years in Yuzhou, all I'm really going to take with me in the end is this little bit... and most of it is just clothes." Shen Ru's voice was tinged with self-deprecation.
Two suitcases and a backpack were all of Shen Ru's belongings.
After the shooting of Han Mingrui, Shen Ru moved to Qin Yiheng's villa. She gradually took the things from her original house, but she felt that she didn't need many of them, so she left them there.
After going back and forth, only these were left.
We live a life of solitude, coming into this world alone and leaving with nothing. Shen Ru, at such a young age, has already come to understand this. She truly doesn't know whether this is a blessing or a curse.
On the way to the station, none of the three spoke.
When Shen Ru was about to enter the station, she finally seemed unable to hold back her tears.
"Yan Yan, I know it might seem a bit sentimental to say this now, but Yan Yan, and Qin Yiheng, thank you so much. Without you, there would be no Shen Ru today... I don't know if we'll have many more chances to meet in the future. I will pray for you and hope you both get better and better..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yan reached out and emotionally embraced Shen Ru.
The two women are not very similar in personality, but they were best friends for several years in college. If they really couldn't tolerate each other, how could they have such a friendship?
It's often said that socializing is too difficult for adults because adults overthink things. When we were kids, as long as we could play together, we were good friends.
Those times are gone; we can only cherish the present.
"You too, Shenru, take care!" Jiang Yan patted Shenru's shoulder, tears welling up in her own eyes.
"Chen Ru, don't dwell on the past. Since you've come this far, it's a blessing from heaven. Don't let it down," Qin Yiheng said meaningfully.
Shen Ru felt that she could understand what Qin Yiheng meant.
In the days following the incident, she lived in a daze. The moment she killed Han Mingrui always came suddenly, playing in her mind like a movie, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. She didn't know how she endured that torment.
The pangs of conscience and the sense of guilt are beyond words.
But now, Qin Yiheng tells her that this is also her fate, an arrangement of heaven—meaning she shouldn't dwell on it too much.
No matter how much we talk about looking to the future and forgetting the past, it's all just empty talk if we can't actually do it.
"Yes, I understand, it will be alright..." Shen Ru replied to Qin Yiheng while also encouraging herself.
Time flew by before they parted, and it was time for Shenru to get on the bus.
"That's settled then, Yan Yan, Qin Yiheng, I'm leaving. I hope that if that ever happens, I can be of help to you." Shen Ru left with a smile on her face.
After she entered the station, she blended into the crowd and quickly disappeared.
Jiang Yan slowly exhaled.
For them, this is the real end.
Moreover, this ending is already very good. She and Qin Yiheng both did their best and have a clear conscience, so they have no regrets.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yan never expected that the biggest blow, the "separation," would be dealt to her by Qin Yiheng.
"Yan Yan, I'm going out in a couple of days too."
Because everyone had too much fun yesterday, Jiang Yan didn't go to the company today. So Qin Yiheng took this opportunity to tell her about his plans to go out with Luo Jinxiu.
“Luo Jinxiu mentioned to me before that there is a living spring at Qingling Peak, which was discovered by the head of the Luo family, Luo Jinxiu’s father… Luo Jinxiu obviously doesn’t know the specifics, but that living spring must be very extraordinary, so Qingling Peak is very important to Luo Jinxiu, and…”
"Is it related to your parents?"
Before Qin Yiheng could finish speaking, Jiang Yan had already guessed it.
Previously, Chu Ruoxue had helped Qin Yiheng investigate the truth about his parents' deaths, but unfortunately, it was too long ago and there were too few clues.
