Chapter 143 Old Things
Jin Siyang was no longer nervous. He and Lu Tingyan sat at the tea table. Lu Tingyan asked him about his startup company and introduced him to several industry leaders. Seeing that they were having a good chat, Cen Nian followed Cen Huan to the kitchen.
"Nian Nian, Auntie bought you a cake. Let them chat while we eat first."
Cen Nian took a sip of the cream: "Thank you, auntie."
Cen Huan stirred the coffee in her hand and smiled suddenly: "Do you also think that your aunt will break you up?"
Cen Nian was stunned for a long while, not daring to tell the truth, but the expression on her face had already betrayed her completely.
"No, actually. I just wanted to test him, push him once, to see how far Jin Siyang could go. He really didn't let me down." Cen Huan took a sip of coffee: "Niannian, do you think your aunt is going too far? But your aunt has been through this, and she doesn't want you to suffer any injustice."
"No, auntie, I know you are doing this for my own good."
"Silly child." Cen Huan took a document and said, "Auntie has nothing to leave for you, except for the card from before. This is all that belongs to Auntie."
Cen Huan handed the file bag to Cen Nian: "Take it."
Cen Nian opened it carefully, and out fell a bank card and a large flat in the center of Jiang City. "Aunt, what is this?"
"Girls also need to have something to rely on so that they won't suffer losses after getting married in the future." Cen Huan thinks further and is more realistic than Cen Nian. Over the years, she has relied on her own hard work to get to where she is today. Naturally, she can't give as much as someone with a deep family background like Mr. Jin.
She treated Nian Nian as her own daughter, so naturally she didn't want her to feel insecure.
Cen Nian's mood was indescribable. Just looking at the things Cen Huan gave her, tears filled her eyes involuntarily.
"Auntie, thank you."
"Silly child, what are you thanking me for? You are one of the few family members that my aunt has."
The servant came running over: "Madam, there is someone outside the door who wants to see you."
Cen Huan looked suspicious: "Who?"
"I haven't seen him before. He looks like a Chinese man."
Cen Huan and Cen Nian walked out. Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from Lu Tingyan and Jin Siyang, who followed closely behind.
Cen Huan stepped out of the door and saw a tall, steady and self-possessed man standing outside.
The man's sharp features became sharper with the passage of time, and they contained traces of years' polish. His eyes were even more profound. When their eyes met, Cen Huan was speechless for several seconds.
Jin Jingming stood outside the door. Although he was a foreigner, his noble demeanor did not diminish in the slightest. He stared at the person in front of him. The person he had been looking for for so many years actually lived in the UK and got married.
He couldn't help but sigh that time plays tricks on people.
After a long while, Jin Jingming opened his mouth and said, "Cen Huan, long time no see. You are still the same, you haven't changed at all."
Cen Huan's eyes were filled with surprise, but soon returned to normal: "Jin Jingming."
"Are you married?" he asked, his tone more sarcastic.
Cen Huan nodded: "As you can see, I am indeed married."
One sentence made Jin Jingming's eyes red: "Are you happy?"
"Happiness, he loves me very much."
"But I've been looking for you for more than ten years." Jin Jingming was a little unwilling. He looked at Lu Tingyan behind Cen Huan, trying to find evidence that Lu Tingyan was similar to himself. Unfortunately, they were not alike at all. From beginning to end, he was the only one trapped in the same place.
It’s unfair, why?
"Jin Jingming, our relationship has ended since then. I don't love you anymore. Please let yourself go." Cen Huan's words were straightforward and calm, without any hesitation. Her reason prevailed. She didn't love him anymore, she really didn't love him anymore.
"We agreed to be together, get married, and grow old together." Jin Jingming almost laughed at himself. He spoke like a loser, but his posture was upright, especially his outline that was similar to Jin Siyang, which made Cen Nian's heart tighten.
Until she felt a warm sensation on her lower back, Jin Siyang patted her waist soothingly.
Cen Huan took a deep breath. She turned around, patted Lu Tingyan's arm, and gave him a coaxing look. Only then did Lu Tingyan leave reluctantly.
Only Cen Nian, Jin Siyang, Cen Huan and Jin Jingming were left at the scene.
Cen Huan felt that there were some things that should be made known to everyone. She took two steps towards Jin Jingming, and Jin Jingming's originally suppressed eyes suddenly lit up for a moment.
"Jin Jingming, I heard everything you said to Old Master Jin back then." Cen Huan's voice was low and slow, as if he was telling a story.
Just this one sentence made Jin Jingming almost lose control: "What?"
"Mr. Jin asked you to make a choice. Between Jin and me, you can only choose one." Cen Huan's eyes drifted far away: "I am very self-aware. Compared to a huge group, love is just a small thing. I didn't expect you to choose me. Maybe it was because I was still young at the time. When I heard that you chose Jin, I still felt a little sad."
Jin Jingming's eyes trembled red, his hands clenched into fists, and his tone was urgent: "I can explain, I just wanted to make myself stronger at that time. Only by becoming stronger can we have a future."
"There's no need to explain anymore."
Cen Huan smiled with relief. Her eyes fell on Jin Siyang and Cen Nian, and she said meaningfully: "The good thing is that they won't repeat the same mistakes."
Between absolute power and love, Jin Siyang chose the latter.
It was the same multiple-choice question, but the father and son chose different answers.
This is also why she changed her previous attitude and accepted Jin Siyang.
Jin Jingming lowered his eyes. As calm and proud as he was, he couldn't help but feel disappointed at this moment: "Cen Huan, I'm sorry."
Cen Huan smiled at him, just like they did in college: "The person you really feel sorry for is not me, Jin Jingming. After all these years, you are still so cowardly."
Jin Jingming didn't know how he left. Over the years, he accepted the Jin family from the old man, married Si Man, and finally had Jin Siyang, and then to today.
He is undoubtedly a winner in the business world, having expanded the Jin family by dozens of times, but in terms of family and love, he is a real loser.
Cen Huan said that he really felt sorry for someone else. Another gentle woman flashed through Jin Jingming's mind. The woman looked at him with eyes full of admiration and love. He laughed at himself, thinking that it was really fate that played tricks on him.
Cen Nian looked at Uncle Jin's back as he left, and couldn't help but worry. She had never seen him like this before.
The sky was gloomy and raindrops were falling. The raindrops fell on Jin Jingming, soaking him.
Jin Siyang looked at his back with calm eyes. The moment he lowered his eyes, Cen Nian handed him an umbrella and gently pushed him: "Go."
Jin Siyang met Cen Nian's gaze and said in a hoarse voice, "Baby."
