Chapter 123 The Last Move
Hua Jingjing didn't see me, so I lowered my head and didn't dare to move, for fear of attracting her attention. I thought to myself, this world is really small. How come I can always run into people I don't want to see everywhere? If Hua Jingjing sees us later, I really don't know how she will react! Oh! Headache!
Seeing me shrinking back, Fan Yunting felt very strange and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
I sighed and lowered my voice, "Behind you, Mr. Hua is having dinner there."
"Boss Hua? Hua Jingjing?" Fan Yunting said, looking back, and then quickly turned back. With a half-smile on her face, she said, "We are no longer employees of the Green Lady Company. What are you afraid of?"
I wasn't afraid of Hua Jingjing's identity, but I had just rejected her love not long ago, and now I felt embarrassed. But how could I tell Fan Yunting these words? So I had to shut up and said nothing.
Seeing that I was silent, Fan Yunting, with her intelligence and insight, seemed to have guessed why I was afraid of seeing Hua Jingjing. With a faint smile on her lips, she suddenly said, "The man sitting opposite Hua Jingjing is called Shi Huaizhong. He is a famous painter, a well-known playboy, and a master of hunting for beauties. I see that Hua Jingjing and him are together, so their relationship is not ordinary!"
I coughed lightly, trying to show that I didn't care, and said in a relaxed tone, "Really? That's good! A painter and a beautiful woman, quite a good match!"
Having said that, I still couldn't help but glance at the man sitting opposite Hua Jingjing. The man had his back to me, so I couldn't see his face clearly, but he looked to be about 35 or 36 years old. He was moving in a carefree manner, chatting and laughing with Hua Jingjing. Hua Jingjing also seemed to be fascinated by his words, smiling and staring at him intently.
I felt a little unhappy for no reason and quickly retracted my gaze. I thought it was good that Hua Jingjing was able to recover from the hurt I caused her so quickly and made new friends. The guilt in my heart could finally be alleviated.
As I was sighing, the western food that Fan Yunting and I ordered was served one after another. I picked up my knife and fork and started eating. I don't know why , but my mind was always uneasy, and I always had the urge to look at that table. Fan Yunting didn't care about these things at all, and began to taste her set meal seriously.
After a while, the violinist at Hua Jingjing's table finished playing a piece. The painter casually gave a tip of 100 yuan. After thanking him, the violinist turned around and walked towards my table.
The violinist first bowed to Fan Yunting in a gentlemanly manner, then smiled and said to me, "Dear sir, would you like to play a piece of music for the beautiful lady sitting opposite you?"
I was speechless for a moment. Out of courtesy, I should agree to order a song. If I shook my head and refused, wouldn't it be disrespectful to Fan Yunting? This violinist's questioning skills were quite high. He didn't ask if you wanted to order a song, but asked if you were willing to order a song for the lady. Most of the men and women who come to this elegant western restaurant are couples. Which man would be so tasteless as to say no?
But Fan Yunting is not my lover. Is it worth it to order a song for her? What's more terrible is that Hua Jingjing's eyes have already looked over here. If she sees me really ordering a song for Fan Yunting, what will she think? She will hate me even more in her heart.
At this time, Fan Yunting came to my rescue and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in music. You should go to another table and ask."
The violinist looked at me again after hearing that, and I had to apologize. He didn't care, half bowed, and walked to another table. I was about to express my gratitude to Fan Yunting, but I felt a pair of eyes on me. I couldn't help but look at Hua Jingjing's table again, and I happened to meet her complicated eyes. I blushed and my heart beat fast, and I didn't know what to do with my hands and feet.
Hua Jingjing looked at me for three seconds, then suddenly she smiled, turned her gaze to the man at the opposite table, and took the initiative to raise her glass and invite him to drink with her.
She never looked at me again after that.
I was stunned for a long time, sighed, and continued to eat my steak.
By the time Fan Yunting and I had almost finished eating, Hua Jingjing's table had finished. After they settled the bill, they left their seats and walked out of the restaurant. I saw Hua Jingjing smiling and affectionately holding the painter's arm.
The painter's face was suddenly filled with joy and excitement. When they passed by us, the painter suddenly saw Fan Yunting. He stopped and greeted Fan Yunting happily: "Hey! Isn't this Miss Fan? Long time no see!"
Seeing that he recognized her, Fan Yunting stood up and said with a smile, "Oh! Mr. Shi, and Mr. Hua, what a coincidence! Are you also having dinner here?"
I finally saw the man's appearance clearly. His face looked like it was carved by an axe or a knife, and was extremely beautiful. The most attractive thing was his eyes, which were blue. He looked like a mixed-race of Chinese and Western.
This man! He is so handsome! No wonder Hua Jingjing forgot about me immediately!
The painter was smiling and said, "That's right! I heard that Miss Fan later joined the Watson Group. So she should be familiar with Miss Hua, right?"
Hua Jingjing beside him looked at Fan Yunting and said calmly, "Ms. Fan just resigned not long ago and is no longer an employee of Watson Group. You don't have to be so polite and call me President Hua!"
Fan Yunting had no choice but to smile and say, "Miss Hua!"
The painter said, "It turns out that Miss Fan is no longer working at Watson Group. So now..."
Fan Yunting said: "Oh, I'm planning to open a small company and do some small business recently."
"Really? Ambitious! Ambitious! By the way, this gentleman is..."
When I heard him asking about me, I had no choice but to stand up. Fan Yunting introduced: "This is my company's partner, Tang Qian! This old friend is a famous painter, Shi Huaizhong!"
Following Fan Yunting's introduction, Shi Huaizhong and I shook hands and exchanged polite words: "Nice to meet you!" But Hua Jingjing seemed not to see me and looked into the distance.
After the pleasantries, Shi Huaizhong said to Fan Yunting: "Then you guys take your time eating. Miss Hua and I will be leaving first."
"Please!"
Watching Shi Huaizhong and Hua Jingjing walk out affectionately, Fan Yunting sat down and asked me jokingly, "Hua Jingjing didn't even look at you. Are you and her...really over?"
After I sat down, I took a long time to say, "She and I... never started!"
After dinner, Fan Yunting drove me home.
After returning home, I was quite tired because I had been busy all day, and I still had a lot of work to do tomorrow, so after watching TV for a while, I took a shower and went to bed soon.
I don't know how much time passed before I was woken up by the ringing of my cell phone. I picked up the watch beside my pillow and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
I muttered to myself impatiently: "Who is it? It's the dead of night and I can't sleep?" Then I pulled my clothes over in dissatisfaction and took out my cell phone.
The caller ID on my phone told me that the call was from Hua Jingjing.
I held the phone and hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether to answer it or not. I knew Hua Jingjing must be calling to scold me, and she already had a boyfriend, right? Why would she scold me?
The phone kept ringing, making me restless and unable to sleep. Finally, I made up my mind and talked to Hua Jingjing and asked her not to call me anymore.
I pressed the call button and put the phone to my ear, just as I was about to speak, Hua Jingjing's voice came from the phone first: "Tang Qian, I'm in room 2201 of Prince Hotel now, and that guy named Shi is taking a shower. I'm telling you, I don't like him at all, but if you don't come over within 20 minutes, I'm going to sleep with him. Remember, if you don't come to stop me, I'll be in pain for the rest of my life! I'll hate you for the rest of my life! All my misfortune is caused by you! Come or not...it's up to you!"
After she finished speaking, she immediately hung up the phone.
I jumped off the bed, cold sweat broke out on my forehead. This... this flower fairy! She is really crazy! How could she be so casual and sleep with a man she doesn't like?
Then I understood that this was Hua Jingjing's last trick to force me to submit. She was willing to use her body as a bet to see if I would be willing to let her be toyed with by others and would ignore it. If I was really so heartless, she would be willing to degenerate from then on and live a life of self-indulgence and self-destruction, but she would never be happy in her heart. Instead, she would be very painful and hateful. Her life was ruined! Ruined by me!
But...but if I go, I can stop her from falling. But what should I do next? Accept her?
If I harden my heart and do nothing, then... Hua Jingjing, can I really face a woman suffering her whole life for me?
I was at a loss, my heart was in turmoil. I hurriedly called Hua Jingjing back, but the voice on the phone told me that Hua Jingjing actually! Actually! Turned off her phone!
I was sweating like rain! I knew Hua Jingjing was forcing me, but when I thought about her innocent virginity being given to another man, I felt like a thousand knives were cutting my body and a thousand arrows were piercing my heart. The pain was beyond description!
It would be fine if she liked that man, but the hateful thing is that she actually told me that she didn't like him at all! Hua Jingjing! You...you are not going to make me sad for the rest of my life?
But time waits for no one. If I don't act now, I will regret it for the rest of my life. I didn't care about anything else, I grabbed my clothes and rushed out. I only had one thought in my mind: no matter what happens in the future, I will stop you from doing stupid things today!
