"Go back to being your parasite? Continue to rely on you to survive?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Liang Sheng distanced himself from me, looked at me for a while, and then asked: "Yanyan, are you blaming me?"
"No, I like the feeling of independence now. I have my own career, enough space, and don't depend on anyone." I told him my inner thoughts calmly. I didn't lie to him. These two people who came to Shanghai Over the past few months, although I have indulged in the past due to overflowing thoughts, I have also experienced many perceptions that I have never had before.
In Haicheng, I grew up under the protection of my parents, and then received special care from Liang Sheng. I once had dreams and worked hard for a certain goal. Later, I fell and was addicted to the tenderness he gave me. Unable to extricate myself from it. Now I am sober. To truly love someone is not to lower one's attitude blindly, but to make oneself better. Only by standing on the same level as him can I face his eyes calmly.
Liang Sheng disapproved, let go of my palm, climbed up my arm again, landed on my collarbone, and traced the outline there with his fingertips, "You mean, I didn't give you enough space before, which hindered me." Your career?”
"No." I blurted out, but I didn't know how to explain it, so I simply said, "Whatever you think."
This sentence obviously angered Liang Sheng again. The hand that was caressing my collarbone directly grabbed my neck and said with a little force: "Why? Why are you like this? Do you know that you are so indifferent?" It looks very disgusting!”
Why is this sentence so familiar? If I remember correctly, Liu Nanhao and Yuan Yushan also commented on me in the same way. It's great, I'm back to my old self again.
Seeing that I was still speechless, Liang Sheng tried to use force, but he was afraid of hurting me. He gritted his teeth in my ear and said word by word: "What exactly do you want me to do before you can forgive me?"
I closed my eyes, tears falling from the corners of my eyes.
Liang Sheng was completely angered by my indifferent indifference. He punched the pillow next to my ear with his fist. The wind shocked me so much that I opened my eyes. The clenched fist made a gurgling sound, and my heart felt like tens of thousands of people. It's like an ant gnawing at me. Even though I could resolve all his resentment by saying sorry, I still stubbornly refused to speak.
Liang Sheng finally stood up, grabbed a corner of the quilt and pulled it casually. The thin silk covered my naked body. He picked up the clothes and pants on the ground and put them on, buttoning the buttons of his shirt one by one, and stuffed the shirt flatly into his waist. The belt clicked, and he quickly dressed and stood neatly dressed. In front of me, while adjusting his sleeves, he said casually: "You can take my life back with just one word, but you cherish your words like gold, so don't blame me for being ruthless and planting thorns on your path to pursue your career."
"I still have something to do. When you have had enough rest, you can go by yourself." He walked to the door and turned around to warn.
With a bang, the door was closed. I finally couldn't help crying, curled up and hid my whole body in the quilt. His scent was all on the sheets, and every bruise and purple scar on my skin showed his domineering and possessiveness. I always felt that if he stayed just one more second, I would throw away all my principles and courage and throw myself into his arms.
Since I chose to come to Shanghai alone, I have no intention of going back to the past. It's just that I have been escaping from my feelings for Liang Sheng. Now his sudden appearance makes me more clear about my heart: I will still love him in another way.
After packing up and returning to the company, He Bin had already called me several times. When he saw me appearing at the door of the office, he came up excitedly and tried to grab my arm, but I instinctively dodged him. His arms were bruised by Liang Sheng's pinch, and there was a slight pain in several places.
He Bin squeezed his hand: "Auntie, where have you been? It's taken you so long?"
I pretended to be relaxed and said: "You have been waiting here for me, why don't you go back first?"
It's been more than an hour since I got off work, and except for the sales department, all the lights in other departments have been turned off. He Bin said in embarrassment: "You didn't come back. How dare I leave? I called you a few times and didn't answer your phone. I thought something happened to you and almost called the police."
"He Bin, you can't do this. Don't focus all your attention on work. People who are twenty-six should also try to find a girlfriend." I didn't want him to ask too many questions, so I had to change the subject to distract him.
He Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I can't even take care of you anymore, how can I still think about finding a girlfriend."
I rolled my eyes at him and said with a smile: "Looking at what you said, can I be more important than your girlfriend?"
He Bin was speechless immediately and looked at me helplessly. Bringing the topic back: "Didn't you go to see Jian Xin? What was the result?"
Jian Xin. Hey, I didn’t even see her shadow.
But I can't say that. If he asks me where I have been for such a long time, I will be speechless. He waved his hand vaguely: "Hey, look at my expression, what will happen."
"Still determined to leave?" He Bin didn't think much about it.
"Well, forget it, I'll bring the information back later, let's fight for this project ourselves."
"It can only be this way."
I left the office with He Bin holding the information and went to the underground garage. He Bin told me: "Be careful when driving alone."
"I know, you are almost more verbose than my mother." I smiled at him and waved the information in my hand, and He Bin replied: "If it weren't for your mother's sake, I wouldn't bother to be verbose with you. .”
I opened the car door directly, got into the driver's seat, put the documents on the passenger seat, put on my seat belt, and turned on the ignition, but did not start it immediately. I sat quietly in the car, suddenly feeling empty. Watching He Bin disappear at the exit in his car, he sighed deeply, then started the engine and drove east towards the outskirts of the city.
Shanghai is no better than Haicheng. The stranger the city is, the more complicated the streets are. In Haicheng, my range of activities is actually not very large. Those who can take a taxi basically don’t want to drive. After coming to Shanghai, I found that driving is more convenient. The car I'm driving now is a Volkswagen cc, which is considered a benefit provided by the company to department management. I still quite enjoy the feeling of driving alone in a strange street. Watching all the bustling scenes outside the window quickly recede, I feel a sense of tranquility that makes people forget the past for a short time.
The first thing I did when I got home was to take a shower. I poured a lot of shower gel in an attempt to wash away the smell of Liang Sheng from my body.
In fact, in the guest room of the Supreme Court, when Liang Sheng asked me to go back with him, I was not shaken, but I held it back. Instead, I really wanted to ask him why he didn't stay in Shanghai for me when he asked me to go back with him. Because he is the president of Yuansheng, he cannot abandon his entire company for a woman like me, and I am just a small employee in my mother’s company, so I should abandon my career to accommodate him. Three months ago, I I might follow him like crazy, but now, I will smile and shake my head. Although three months is not long and I have not experienced much, it has taught me to say no.
During the morning meeting the next day, I almost had panda eyes, and my head was like a chicken pecking at rice while taking notes. Zhong Kai stopped abruptly mid-sentence and coughed twice. I closed my eyes in confusion. If He Bin hadn't poked my arm, I might have really fallen asleep.
"Miss Shen, our Human Resources Department is also responsible for Jian Xin's resignation. The Public Relations and Project Department asked us to send one person to help. Do you have any good suggestions?" Zhong Kai looked at me intently, his face slightly gloomy.
I cleared my throat and tried to open my eyes wide enough to wake up, but I couldn't help but yawn. He quickly covered his mouth, straightened his body, and said seriously: "I briefly read the project content last night. Maybe it's not as difficult as we thought. We can make some concessions appropriately, such as improving the quality of the project for the person in charge of the other party." A little commission as an inducement.”
"Shen Yan!" Zhong Kai emphasized coldly, "What I'm asking is, our human resources department has sent someone to support public relations and projects. Did you answer the question incorrectly?"
"Me." I answered without hesitation, "I will go to the public relations department in a moment. If I can't invite the Korean person in charge, I will fly to South Korea with them."
