C109 I Believe Him
When he went abroad this time, he had even started preparing her and Shen Ruo Bai's wedding gifts. Who knew that the news of his return would shock him so much?
Shen Ruo Bai had once announced that Xiao Jing was his fiancée. He thought that his next step was to prepare for the wedding. After all, once a person as brilliant as Xiao Jing became famous, it would be easy for her to be remembered.
But in the end, he did this.
This was really unexpected.
"Mr. Qin, I think we should talk about work." Xia Jing's expression was ugly. Why did everyone have to bring up this matter in front of her? Every time they saw her, they would tear her wound and make her feel pain again.
Could it be that she could not completely forget that person?
She and that person should not have had anything to do with each other. Why couldn't they disappear completely in her life?
Why did everyone have to mention him, and why did everyone have to care about the cancellation of their engagement?
"Xiao Jing, it's useless to use work to numb yourself." Looking at the frustrated expression on Xia Jing's face, Qin Mo could not help but reach his hand over and gently pat her shoulder.
This woman was so stubborn that it made his heart ache.
Xia Jing did not resist. She continued to lower her head and her eyes were red.
That's right. She was indeed trying to numb herself with work. Once she got busy with work, she would not have much time to think about that person. However, as long as she stopped, perhaps when someone else mentioned that person, her heart would ache.
She could lie to herself, and she could pretend that she didn't care about it in front of others, but she couldn't lie to her heart.
All her heart was on that man, and she couldn't take it back.
"Shen Ruo Bai might have been a little impulsive this time." Qin Mo suddenly sighed. Since he had given such a large company like Xia Corporation to Xiao Jing, he should know how heavy the burden on Xiao Jing's shoulders was.
Just as the Xia Group was on the verge of collapse, the only company they could rely on was the Shen Group. If the Xia Group wanted to gain a foothold, it would have to spend a lot of energy.
That man was really ruthless.
Xia Jing pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but she did not say anything.
At this point, she was no longer as confused as she was at the beginning. Humans had always been selfish. Once two people lost their love, who would end up with what kind of ending? How could the person who didn't love care?
Perhaps this was how Shen Ruo Bai treated her.
Unilaterally, he announced to the media that he would break off the engagement with her, causing her to lose her support and completely let her fend for herself.
"However, I'm still very curious. Xiao Jing, what is the reason?" To be honest, he could truly feel how a man felt towards a man. He could feel that Shen Ruo Bai's love for Xiao Jing was not an act.
In fact, that love was very deep. He shouldn't have let it go so easily.
What exactly was the reason that he couldn't bear to give up on this woman?
"What is the reason?" Xia Jing thought for a moment. "I don't want to marry him."
The only thing she could think of was this. Shen Ruo Bai wanted to marry her, but she had always felt that it was not the time yet and had repeatedly refused.
Therefore, he was tired and felt that there was no need to waste any more time on her, which was why he ended up like today.
This was the best she could imagine. She didn't even dare to imagine it. Perhaps everything that happened, or her and Fan Xin Ran breaking off the engagement, was all carefully planned by him in order to force her to leave.
She did not dare to think about it that way. She did not dare to think that the man did not love her anymore and wanted to chase her away by all means.
"Hmm? You don't want to marry him?" The expression on Qin Mo's face changed slightly as he looked at Xia Jing with a puzzled expression, "Why?"
She could also tell that she had deep feelings for Shen Ruo Bai. Since they were in love with each other, why didn't she want to get married?
"It's not time yet." Xia Jing took a deep breath. She didn't know how to explain.
In short, she just thought that it wasn't the best time yet and that it wasn't the right time to marry him, so she didn't want to be anxious.
However, that person seemed to be unable to wait any longer and kept forcing her to do so.
She really couldn't understand why the two of them would love each other so much. Why would they need the marriage certificate?
With the marriage certificate, they could still be together. They could still be together even if they didn't have the marriage certificate. Now, they were in an open society. There was no rule stating that a man and a woman couldn't be in the same room without the marriage certificate.
Why did it have to be... He could not understand.
It wasn't for no reason that she didn't want to marry. The death of her parents was still a mystery. As the only descendant of the Xia Family, how could she organize the wedding with great fanfare before finding out the truth and taking revenge for them?
She was afraid, afraid that her parents in the sky would blame her.
Closing her eyes, Xia Jing suddenly felt very tired. Her entire body was tired, but the most tired thing was her heart.
"What exactly are you waiting for?" Qin Mo had always been someone who could hide his thoughts, yet he felt that Xia Jing's heart was even heavier than hers. It was as if there were a lot of things hidden in her heart, all of them piled up in her heart, pressing down on her until she couldn't breathe.
Xia Jing shook her head. Qin Mo got up and poured a glass of water for her and handed it over to her: "Xiao Jing, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell me."
However, Xia Jing only smiled bitterly. She didn't even dare to tell Shen Ruo Bai, so how could she tell Qin Mo?
As if he knew that she wouldn't say it, Qin Mo didn't ask any further. He just thought about it, "I don't think that Shen Ruo Bai is an unreasonable person. If it was just because you didn't want to get married, it wouldn't make sense."
He had worked with Shen Ruo Bai for so many years, so he more or less knew about Shen Ruo Bai's stubborn personality.
How could the woman he loved be so clear about their relationship just because of such a small matter? There must be some other reason.
"Is he reasonable?" Xia Jing was smiling. If he was reasonable, he would not have mentioned Lin Xiu's matter in front of her time and time again. He clearly knew that she was indebted to Lin Xiu, and he clearly knew that she was only grateful to him.
However, every time they quarreled, he still liked to use Lin Xiu as an example.
It was the same this time. Did he think that she could still accept Lin Xiu's position in her heart?
That position had already been filled by him, so how could she tolerate anyone else?
Looking at the smile on Xia Jing's face, Qin Mo touched his nose in embarrassment. "According to my knowledge of him, I think he is quite reasonable."
Shen Ruo Bai was a person who was very reasonable in the business world. However, on the surface, it seemed easy for him to do so, but in reality, he was even more cunning than a fox.
He always had tricks up his sleeve, and he could always catch her off guard. In short, it was widely known in the pugilistic world that he was fireproof, theft-proof, and Bai Ruo.
"Of course he can be reasonable and unscrupulous when it comes to business and making money, but when it comes to feelings..."
Xia Jing really wanted to say that he was unreasonable, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that there were actually a lot of times when she was unreasonable.
She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Don't you believe in him?" Qin Mo poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xia Jing.
The two of them had been together for a long time, so how much trust did Xiao Jing have in that person?
"No, I believe him. I have always trusted him." Xia Jing's voice suddenly became choked with sobs. It was because she trusted him that she was fearless. She thought that person would always give in to her and would never leave her no matter what.
It turned out that a man's oaths really had no credibility. All the promises were just smoke and clouds.
She couldn't grasp it or hold it tightly.
When it was time to disperse, it would naturally disperse.
"Xiao Jing..." Qin Mo could not stand to see her in such a sad state, but he really had too many questions about her and Shen Ruo Bai. After all, all of this had happened too suddenly, and he was at a loss as to what to do. He was afraid that many of his plans would be interrupted.
Xia Jing did not say anything else. Instead, she buried her head in her knees and started to sob in a low voice.
She told herself that she couldn't mention that person. Once that person was mentioned, she wouldn't be able to control herself.
She couldn't control her sadness and her tears. She was really useless. It had been so long, but she still could not control her heart.
Why did she want to think about him? Why did she feel sad for him? Why did she cry for him? She was really useless. Too useless.
Xia Jing's shoulders twitched from crying. Qin Mo sighed, stood up, walked over to her and gently put his arm around her shoulders. He tried to hug her in a safe manner, "Do you still believe in him now?"
He had investigated the two of them. The two of them had been together for five years. A woman like Xiao Jing must have treated him as someone to rely on after following him for five years.
In fact, he was asking a lot of unnecessary questions. If Xiao Jing did not believe him, how could the two of them be together for so long?
"I don't know, I really don't know." Xia Jing was already crying silently.
So what if she believed it? So what if she didn't believe? Would she be able to change reality if she believed or not?
It was impossible for her to have gone very far after crossing paths with that person.
In the future, there would be no more intersections, no more intersections.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned these things." Seeing that Xia Jing was really crying, Qin Mo suddenly regretted. Even though he knew that these things would make her feel sad, he still wanted to ask her clearly. He wanted to know if all of this was real or not.
Because only after confirming the truth would he be able to prepare for the next step.
Now it seemed that this matter was undoubtedly true.
Her relationship with Shen Ruo Bai had come to an end.
"We'll talk about work after dinner." Qin Mo gently patted Xia Jing's shoulder to comfort her. He also looked at her with deep emotions in his eyes: "I don't want you to be sad. If it is possible, I want you to forget about the past, forget about that person, start anew, and start anew. I can give you everything you want, as long as you can live happily."
Mr. Bodyguard just happened to be bringing the food in. When he heard these words, he was shocked. When did his CEO Qin get enlightened?
