Lin Congzhi, on the other end of the phone, anticipated that she wouldn't speak, so he said a few words to himself.
The first sentence was: "I'm sorry!"
The second sentence is: "I promise you, from now on, I will never molest you again."
The third sentence is: "I hope you can come back!"
Heavy and earnest, desperate and indifferent, Jiang Yimei in the elevator could sense the man's remorse, fear, and tension on the other end of the phone.
For a moment, she was at a loss for words; the cursing words, the heartless words, were stuck in her throat.
"That bastard sounds kind of pitiful, why not give him a chance?"
"But I'm the one who's being hurt, why should I give him a chance?"
He took a deep breath, ready to utter the harsh words.
However, Lin Congzhi on the other end of the phone seemed to be able to see her actions, and immediately said: "If you want to vent your anger, I can let you hit me; if you want compensation, I can give you everything; if you want to name your terms, I will do anything without complaint."
"That bastard is so suffocating that it's impossible to say a word."
Jiang Yimei truly admired Lin Congzhi's ability to admit his mistakes; his survival instinct was so strong that she couldn't even imagine it.
Money couldn't make up for her innocence, nor could it vent her anger. She didn't want Lin Congzhi to do anything, so she resolutely said the harsh words: "I'm sorry, I'm extremely disgusted with you and have no interest in you whatsoever. I hope we can leave each other alone and not interfere with each other in the future."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The office was eerily quiet; you could hear a mosquito's buzz.
Holding the phone, Lin Congzhi froze, like a mindless block of wood, or a cold, despairing iceberg.
He thought Jiang Yimei would forgive him and come back to him, just like before; little did he know, the woman had become a stranger and was no longer the person he knew.
He shouldn't have been so arrogant, and he shouldn't have made those forceful kisses and hugs.
Everything has gone off track, and he may have to start all over again.
...
In the evening, Jiang Yimei was invited out by a friend.
She arrived at the restaurant they had arranged to meet, found her friend, and sat down opposite her.
After a moment of silence, Gu Xiaoting cut to the chase, staring at Jiang Yimei with a furious glare, her words sharp and cutting: "Jiang Yimei, how can you do this to your boyfriend?"
Jiang Yimei, who was in a relatively good mood, suddenly changed her expression. She then raised her finger, pointed at herself, and asked ridiculously, "Me? How have I wronged my boyfriend?"
"Then why did you engage in office romances? And even sacrifice your body to climb the corporate ladder?"
Gu Xiaoting's eyes, a mixture of ice and fire, met Jiang Yimei's phoenix eyes, and she asked with utter disdain.
Jiang Yimei was instantly enraged and replied righteously, "Gu Xiaoting, I don't know if this is your guess or something you heard from somewhere, but I can tell you clearly that I did not engage in any office romances, nor did I sacrifice my body to climb the corporate ladder!"
Gu Xiaoting didn't believe this weak, one-sided story at all, and pressed on with unwavering expression, "Then how do you explain what happened today?"
"I..." Jiang Yimei hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
This matter is indeed difficult to talk about. If it were to be mentioned, it might reach Jiang Ze's ears, which could then trigger a series of unnecessary emotional disputes.
Now, she felt that her relationship with Gu Xiaoting wasn't so secure anymore, so she decided not to tell her about it.
He then replied matter-of-factly, "This is my private matter, why should I tell you?"
