Chapter 40 He Jingxin, go back to your world and please don’t disturb my life.

Cocktail Reception

Most of the wealthy families in Haicheng gathered at the cocktail party, and the omegas in the wealthy families all wore white masks. They all heard the news that the new member of Chengjiang Group had returned secretly, and once he returned, he got 10% of the shares of Chengjiang Group.

This is the third person who owns a high share besides Mr. Cheng and Mr. Cheng.

However, today all the young AOs are very happy, one is the unmarried Lu Yuning omega, and the other is the unmarried Chengjiang heir alpha.

Amid everyone's anticipation, Yi Jiu and Lu Youning walked out side by side.

They were both wearing black half-face masks. Director Cheng was depressed. He had originally wanted to show off to all his old friends and enemies, and then tell them that among the second, third, fourth and fifth children in your family, there is a die-hard fan of my Jiujiu.

And she listens to me, the president of the Jiujiuai Fans Club.

When older people get together, they always compete with each other to see whose child is more awesome.

In the end, Jiujiu was unwilling to reveal her name, so I coaxed her and bargained with her for a long time.

Jiujiu said that whichever omega could satisfy her, she would let that omega take off her mask.

What a romantic thing this is.

Director Cheng on the stage picked up the microphone and said proudly, "Today, our Cheng family has a happy event. This is my elegant and beautiful Ning Ning, you all know her, why can't you pursue her. The other one is my all-round alpha granddaughter, who is both beautiful and intelligent. I will treat you well. I will give you a fair chance to compete."

"Of course, I know you must be thinking in your heart that this old man is so talkative and talks a lot. Who is he showing off to? He is really disrespectful to his elders. We admit that Ningning is beautiful, but we haven't even seen the photo of the other one you mentioned, so how can we know if she is good-looking?"

There was a burst of laughter from below.

A spotlight was shone on Yi Jiu and Lu Youning, the two protagonists today, allowing countless people in the audience to see the two people clearly.

"I won't say much to you. You are all young talents in Haicheng. The masked cocktail party will belong to you. I hope you can get what you want on Christmas night. The first dance will be performed by my two children."

After Mr. Cheng finished speaking, the music in the venue began to play.

The opening dance song played by the band was "One Step Away"

Yi Jiu and Lu Youning came down from the second floor stairs. The light shone on them, like princesses from heaven, one was cool and elegant, the other was lazy and noble. Every move they made moved the hearts of two people in the audience.

The music started to play slowly, and Yi Jiu and Lu Youning clapped their hands to the rhythm. Others also found dance partners, and the prelude to the dance slowly heated up. They were supposed to interlock their fingers, but the two put their palms together and turned around carelessly in place.

Like a lazy worker who is extremely passive and lazy.

Lu Youning looked at Miss Shen and "Miss Mu" dancing beside her: "The two people you must accompany today, Miss Shen and Miss Mu are right behind you. Miss Shen is in a black dress, and Miss Mu is in a blue dress."

"You're sick." Yi Jiu sighed. Lu Youning shook her head and glared at her, saying, "What are you doing at the private hospital in the north of the city today? Are you going to do anything bad?"

Yi Jiu raised his hand, and Lu Youning spun 360 degrees in the rhythm. Yi Jiu's calm eyes met Miss Mu's, and all the music and noises around them disappeared at this moment, even if everyone was wearing inhibitors and half-face masks in this noisy banquet hall.

Yi Jiu could recognize He Jingxin at a glance, even though she was now known as Miss Mu. In just a blink of an eye, the exchange of dance partners began, a smooth and beautiful exchange.

He Jingxin's hand fell into her palm. She supported He Jingxin who was pushed towards her with one hand, and held He Jingxin's hand with the other hand. Their eyes met with each other in a strange way.

On the other side, Shen Feitong said with a naughty tone and gnashing teeth: "You two sisters have danced for long enough, it's time to give us guests some opportunities! Don't you think so, Miss Lu?"

Familiar voice, Lu Youning looked in the direction of the light, a beauty mole under the corner of the eye, a thought flashed through her mind. Lu Youning didn't waver too much, "Okay."

Shen Feitong is Shen Feitong.

The music continued, the dance steps were graceful, and Yi Jiu and He Jingxin came to the center.

Everyone gave in for the two of them. The alpha and omega on the field danced perfectly. They seemed like they were born to be a couple. The lights continued to add to the effect on the two of them, the interweaving of light and dark, the black and white masks, forming a rich and colorful oil painting.

Yi Jiu wanted to stop all this capriciously. Every time she heard the change of music, she stopped, and the shining golden ring on her fingertips told her.

She didn't explain it clearly to He Jingxin.

Why did she show up?

Why did she want to ruin the party?

Just by being nice to her during the day, all this can be fixed. Now she and I are back to the starting point, she is her boss, she may continue her dream, maybe in...

He Jingxin felt someone holding her hand tightly. The last beat of the melody ended, and the hand around her waist was quickly pulled away as the music stopped.

She was unhappy, she discovered her identity, and she was angry and embarrassed.

Yi Jiu just held her hand. This was a cocktail party at their home, a cocktail party prepared for her.

No matter who was standing in front of her, the real Miss Mu or He Jingxin, neither of them would allow her to shake her off and leave immediately.

When the music stopped, she took the wine from the waiter's tray and combined the two glasses into one. She had been thinking about vodka for a long time, and finally had the chance to drink it.

The hospital refused to prescribe medicine for her, so she could only rely on alcohol to numb herself, and then she would get drunk so that she could fall asleep.

She raised her glass to salute everyone present, then swallowed the vodka in one gulp, the boiling liquor burning her throat.

The alcohol that surged up in her head was rolling and stirring. She had always been very self-disciplined. She would not drink unless she had to. Therefore, drinking a full glass of vodka in one breath was not friendly to her stomach and brain.

Alcohol makes people bold and some hurtful words may come out of their mouths.

Truth comes out when drunk.

So, He Jingxin, let's talk about everything at once!

If we must destroy it, let us destroy it together! Let us bury our past on this Christmas, bury it well, and bury it completely.

She smiled gracefully and looked at He Jingxin. Her obsidian eyes were devoid of any ripples. Her words mixed with alcohol fell on He Jingxin's earlobe, which was pink due to the smell of alcohol. "Ms. Mu, may I have the honor of being alone with you for a moment? I don't think you guys would mind."

With such an elegant invitation, one of the protagonists of the night seemed to have found the omega he was looking for.

Most of the omegas present were envious, but the word "envy" made all the omegas dare not object, because it was the envy from Jing City.

Snowflakes fell from the sky and landed in the courtyard outside, covering the road with white. Snow on Christmas is a perfect mood for a date, and it is also very suitable for deciding to break up.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the courtyard was very quiet and natural, forming a contrast with the noise and feasting inside.

Yi Jiu held He Jingxin's hand, and the two of them strolled here, just like a wife who had been separated for a long time and a couple who had just fallen in love. Yi Jiu couldn't tell east from west at this moment, and there was only an endless and distorted night scene in front of his eyes.

I remember the last time we took a night walk, it seemed to be more than half a year ago. At that time, she called her sister over and over again.

Now, she really has a sister by blood and by law.

Her favorite sister became a stranger to her. Fate is a strange thing.

He Jingxin had no intention of appreciating the scenery here. The silence between the two of them made her unable to think of what to say.

Yi Jiu turned around and took off the masks of both of them at the same time. He saw He Jingxin's familiar and beautiful cheeks, and his fingers rubbed her soft and smooth face. The heart that once moved him was now as calm as water.

He Jingxin didn't expect that after being caught off guard like this, Yi Jiu still looked at her with deep affection in his eyes. This state was much better than in the morning and much better than before.

But she had lost weight, thinner than the previous times we met.

The party she attended before was so cold that no one wanted to freeze to death. Today, she wore a long off-shoulder dress and really wanted to compete with the group of omegas in their twenties to see who could withstand the cold more. She preferred elegance over temperature.

He Jingxin, you are so naive. You actually think that your beauty and coolness will make you inferior to others. Seeing that shoulder trembling, it is really crazy.

Yi Jiu took off his suit and put it on her. She didn't want to invite her into the warm living room. The cold was the only thing that could make them completely sober.

Temperature always makes people confused.

Words related to "warm", such as "gentle and gentle place" and "soft and fragrant jade", mostly refer to sexual intercourse.

"Mr. He, this is your way of returning the scarf I sent you this morning."

Bad exes and mortal enemies are the most troublesome creatures in life.

It was never a heart-wrenching scolding, nor was it going over the old accounts one by one to settle the past between the two, nor was it opening the wounds of emotional pain again and again, causing blood to flow.

She thought about crematorium literature. What is crematorium literature?

The explanation on the Internet is that one party abused the other party in the early stage, and then one party repented and started a crazy pursuit of the other party in the later stage. So, what is He Jingxin's crazy pursuit?

He kissed her secretly in the photo studio, saved her when she almost died in the swimming pool, treated her to milk tea and a scarf in the private hospital, and danced with her at the cocktail party disguised as Miss Mu.

Whether it was premeditated or a true coincidence.

This seems to indicate that she is unwilling to give up and wants to restore this broken relationship. So what will she do next?

He committed suicide and drank alcohol, or came to the group to discuss important matters with me, or blocked my car, or disrupted my life, or finally died and went to the hospital, or the two of them finally signed a lover's contract.

Yi Jiu pulled his hand back from hers and asked calmly, "Boss He, today is a cocktail party arranged by my grandfather for me, which is also a blind date in disguise. The blind date is Shen Feitong and your good friend Boss Mu in Beijing. But Boss Mu already has someone in his heart, so the only blind date I have is Shen Feitong."

She knows this

She looked down at her palms; the soft warmth was gone, and the temperature in her palms was constantly dissipating.

He Jingxin directly pointed out: "Shen Feitong doesn't like you, she likes Lu Youning."

"I guessed it. They were together this afternoon." Yi Jiu stroked the ring on his finger that symbolized wealth and power. "But this doesn't prevent me from dancing with her. Even if she doesn't like me. We all have our mission, and we all understand this kind of tacit cooperation."

He Jingxin's eyes, which had originally ignited a glimmer of hope, gradually extinguished it, just like the ancient palace lantern above their heads that swayed in the wind, now covered by snow.

"This is my script. I want to make Grandpa happy."

"I know you are always considerate."

"You know everyone has regrets. Regrets are like bugs in this world. Whatever you have, you will inevitably lose."

"For example, my grandfather had a lifelong regret. All the heirs he dreamed of died in accidents. My mother Cheng Suhe lost her daughter in middle age, and my cousin Cheng Zhoucheng lost his grandson in old age."

"I told you about Chen Cheng's regret. When I was in junior high school, I ran into Cheng Zhoucheng while studying abroad. Cheng Zhoucheng's undercover identity was exposed, and he and Lu Youning's sister Lu Zhining died in that operation."

"Yuning's regret is that she no longer has a sister."

He Jingxin didn't know what to say, nor did she know how to comfort him.

Having talked about their regrets, what are Yi Jiu’s regrets?

He Jingxin clenched her fists. The scattered snowflakes drifted into her neck, melting into snow water and flowing into her fair neck.

Yi Jiu let out a long breath, which condensed into a white color in the air.

She was thinking about how to express her regrets and how to make He Jingxin give up on her. The vodka made her dizzy, but the snowflakes falling on her face calmed her mind.

But this kind of waiting seemed like a century. He Jingxin's heart was slowly aching, an unknown pain. She could predict the future and sense what Yi Jiu would say later.

Regrets. Only when you have regrets will you make up for it.

She regrets their relationship, so she will do everything to make up for it. She cherishes it because she regrets it.

"I have too many regrets!" Yi Jiu tilted her head and leaned against a bare tree, she softly uttered a few words.

She pulled a cigar out of her suit pants. The scarlet light and faint smoke rose from the darkness, diffused from her fingertips, and merged into the night from before her eyes.

Maybe it was her first time to smoke a cigar, or maybe she wanted to experience the baptism of tobacco and alcohol today. She looked at He Jingxin, that cold and world-weary face, and said, "The only thing I don't regret is the relationship between you and me."

This sentence is murderous and heartbreaking!

The smoke that faded into the night was filled with the scent of mint and coconut and penetrated into He Jingxin's nostrils. It was not suffocating, but had a psychedelic effect.

Her mind froze, but her brain didn't react. Her body trembled first, and the suit draped over her fell to the ground. Snowflakes kissed her exposed collarbone, and all sounds seemed to be banned at this moment.

There are many regrets, but not love.

These words kept repeating in her mind, as if a repeat button had been pressed, piercing her heart over and over again.

"But I don't want you to become my regret." He Jingxin's voice was hoarse but firm. "Yi Jiu, you said that I was the sun that walked into your life. The unexpected beauty was destined. You said that people would die without the sun. Have you forgotten?"

Yi Jiu looked at the scarlet light in her hand, and she seemed to see her young and impulsive self making her best promise.

Tender and lingering

——Sister, you are the sun that walked into my life.

——The unexpected beauty is destined, and the courage to break the routine is my promise to you for the rest of my life.

The cigar in her hand was hit by snowflakes one after another, and its temperature dropped rapidly, and it was extinguished as it turned into a stream of water. The water flowed along her fingers and dripped onto her ring.

"Then let's wait until the sun never rises, and everyone will die of the cold. Let us live and die together, and never be separated in this life or the rest of our lives. But, we have no relationship before that." Yi Jiu stepped on the cigarette butt. She was wearing a pair of Martin boots today, and the cigar was quickly destroyed.

He Jingxin couldn't utter a word, and her tears condensed into small ice crystals in the corners of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, but you may not understand."

"My regret is that I didn't enjoy the love between grandparents, mothers and daughters, and brothers and sisters. My grandparents doted on me, and my aunts and uncles loved me. Lu Youning, Cheng Chencheng, and Chu Ranran would treat me well without reservation. They are my blood relatives that I cannot give up."

"I am 23 years old this year, and in a week it will be 2025, when I will be 24 years old. Moreover, there is no contractual relationship between us."

"I'm standing at the fork in the road again, and this time I have many more choices than before." Yi Jiu looked down at the ring on his finger, the ring passed down in his family.

"I want to make a new choice. My future has infinite possibilities. This time I want to live for myself. Is that not possible?"

"He Jingxin, you can't stop me. My status and power are already above yours. Just give up, go home and have a good sleep, and then completely forget about me. Maybe we will have another chance to have a drink together."

"No! I won't give up."

Yi Jiu suddenly took her hand and, relying on the memory in his mind, found two beams of dim lights in the chaotic white world, pointing to the only exit.

A Maserati was parked on the side of the road in front of the door, with its low beams on. There was thick snow on the roof of the car, which seemed to indicate that it had been parked there since the cocktail party began.

He Jingxin was pushed forward by Yi Jiu, and just when she was about to leave the door, she couldn't move.

She knew that once she left, this would be her departure from Yi Jiu's world, and they would be strangers from then on.

"Yi Jiu, you keep saying you have regrets, but you only know in your heart what your regrets are. You have never considered your grandpa, grandma, aunt, aunt, Lu Youning, Cheng Chencheng, and Chu Ranran as your relatives." He Jingxin's legs were stiff from the cold, and she stumbled and knelt behind Yi Jiu. She had never been so dramatic before. She didn't know where she got the courage from. "Otherwise, why would you go to the private hospital in the north of the city alone?"

"Yi Jiu, are you seriously ill? That's why you want to drive me away and say such hurtful words to me."

"Will you tell me? I will stay with you and I will not leave you."

The wind and snow became more violent, causing the snow piled on the roof to fall to the ground with a crisp crackling sound, covering up the secret that was blurted out a moment later.

As the music on the other side and the dancing atmosphere in that room reached a climax, this place alone made people feel cold physically and mentally, as if time was being strangled by someone, as if it was the end of the world.

Yi Jiu didn't say anything, she just stood there.

He Jingxin's hand grabbed the corner of Yi Jiu's clothes, and the shaking of the clothes made Yi Jiu remain indifferent and speechless.

He Jingxin has always been the one who understands her best. She is also the one who understands He Jingxin best, and she knows where to say it, which will hurt the most.

She still underestimated He Jingxin. He Jingxin actually told her about her illness. She was sick, and she was seriously ill.

Or maybe her mental illness is very serious, so serious that she has to take drugs to sleep at night. It is so serious that she can't drive, she can't tell the direction, she is even more stupid than a person with no sense of direction.

She pretends to be a normal person. If she were not a top star in the domestic entertainment industry, she would have played many roles. A normal person plays a psychopath, and now a psychopath plays a normal person.

"He Jingxin, President He, they are my blood relatives. If I don't consider them as my relatives, do I consider you as my relative? Don't be so self-indulgent!" Yi Jiu turned to face He Jingxin, bent down, picked her up, and knocked on the window of the Maserati.

Familiar people, Liang Yan, President Mu.

There was no tenderness in Yi Jiu's eyes. He stabbed her in the heart, ending their relationship completely. She showed an evil smile. It was useless to hide it. It was better to admit it generously and then give her a hard blow.

You saw the end, but I stood at the beginning. One sentence pushed her into a dead end. "I am sick. Have you ever thought about the psychological trauma you have caused me? Do you think you are reading some old CEO melodrama?"

"See? This is the family ring of our Cheng family." Yi Jiu showed her ring and concluded everything. "He Jingxin, please wake up. Put away your prejudice and imagination."

He Jingxin trembled in his arms, hugged her neck with both hands, and made a final struggle, "I will never let go."

She chuckled sympathetically and said, "Let's just call it a day!"

She decisively kicked her out of her world, "Please go back to your world and don't disturb my life."

Yi Jiu remained emotionally stable from beginning to end.

......

Liang Yin turned up the temperature of the heater to warm up He Jingxin who was on the verge of collapse. President Mu handed the water in the thermos to her and let her lean on his shoulder. Her tears seemed to be frozen and she couldn't cry out.

President Mu had no choice but to comfort her quietly and put a coat on her.

Jing Xin, maybe you have really given up this time.

This powerful medicine is really powerful!

She listened to the entire conversation between the two, and Yi Jiu really explained a truth to her throughout the whole process.

Everyone has regrets, but not their relationship.

Affirm her feelings and deny her feelings.

Don't I have the chance to choose again? My future has infinite possibilities. Can't I live for myself?

When he returned to Yuhu Bay, He Jingxin stepped into his living room without any anger, and saw the parts of the Lego piano scattered all over the floor. The last thing that Yi Jiu had given him was gone.

Is she useless?

She curled up on the sofa, hugged her legs, and buried her face between her knees. Was it really over between them?

Yi Jiu no longer loves her, and Yi Jiu thinks she is the source of her mental illness.

She avoided her like a snake and a scorpion because of this, but she really didn't believe that love would disappear so quickly. It was obvious that Yi Jiu only regarded her as the person he trusted the most, and it was obvious that in front of her, she dared to drink vodka and smoke cigars recklessly.

Is she really the source of her mental illness?

"Sister Mu, if I leave here, will she go see a psychiatrist?" He Jingxin asked woodenly, but could not give a response because there was no psychiatrist present.

He Jingxin's tears were like a gate that had been opened. She held up her phone and said, "I just searched and found that my wife has caused me psychological problems. Should I stay away from my wife?"

"AI replied that staying away is not the best solution. Or you can consult a psychiatrist."

This is crazy!

This AI is just talking about basic operations, which are completely useless.

"He Jingxin, you and Yi Jiu are divorced. It's impossible for the two of you to be together. You don't need to worry about whether Yi Jiu is sick or not! Wake up, do you want to ruin your life for her? Do you want to hand over Qingmu Group to your father?"

"You once told me that you wanted to make Qingmu Group one of the top three in Haicheng. You also discussed with me that Yi Jiu was very dependent on you like a child, and treated you as the sun and the light. With your lifeless appearance, who would like you?"

"Think about your mother, Lawyer He." President Mu comforted her, gently wiped away her tears, and whispered softly. Suddenly, she saw a photo album, "Can I see your childhood photos?"

"Can."

President Mu flipped through the photos, pointed at one and asked curiously, "How old is this? You are so amazing, you can even ride a horse."

He Jingxin looked at his past self, sitting on a horse, pretending to be mature, "About ten years old, this was taken in the equestrian club."

"You look really amazing." President Mu flipped through the pages until the time of the photos came to the page of 2003. In addition to a few landscape photos, photos of He Jingxin and He Jingxin's mother, this did not seem to be a place in Haicheng. "Where is this place?"

He Jingxin looked at a villa. Two huge incandescent lights were clearly hung at the door of the villa. She felt familiar with it. Without waiting for He Jingxin to respond, President Mu said to himself, "This is South City. This villa is an ancient building left over from the last century. It is on Huayang Street in Pingjiang District."

President Mu found a few more photos mixed in here, which were photos of a three or four-year-old child. He Jingxin couldn't remember, so President Mu finally found a photo that was not a photo of a single person, a woman holding a three or four-year-old child, and He Jingxin and her mother were also in the photo.

"......Aunt Su He." He Jingxin said after a long while.

"We won't watch it anymore." President Mu was a little embarrassed. It was unexpected that Jing Xin knew Yi Jiu, who was so young. No, didn't they meet in Yi Jiu's junior high school? Wasn't it in Haicheng?

He Jingxin suddenly said, "Sister Mu, please take me away from here. I want to go to South City and live in the He family villa in South City. I lived there for a while."

"I'm afraid you might get emotional. What if you run into Yi Jiu?"

"If the Cheng family wanted to tell her, they would have told her long ago. Why keep it a secret from her?"

"bite."

President Mu originally thought that He Jingxin would rest at home for a day or two before leaving, but she wanted to leave right away. Therefore, President Mu cordially replied to all invitations from Haicheng.
