Chapter 378: Different Paths, Parting Ways Is Destined
Tong Zhi stood there motionless. Lin Yaoyao had already distanced herself from Chen Congming and saw him.
She stood up subconsciously, looking extremely flustered.
"Brother Tongzhi, when did you arrive?"
Tong Zhi looked at Lin Yaoyao without saying anything.
It’s not that I don’t want to say it, it’s that I really don’t know what to say and I can’t open my mouth at all.
Lin Yaoyao was clearly very calm when he looked at her, but she pretended to avoid his gaze. "Brother Tong Zhi, please listen to my explanation. I just had sand in my eyes, and he was helping me blow it out."
"We are just friends. Nothing really happened just now. You must believe me."
Lin Yaoyao said as she pushed Chen Congming's arm, "Congming, hurry up and help me explain this to Brother Tong Zhi."
From the moment Lin Yaoyao and Tong Zhi started talking, Chen Congming leaned lazily on his chair, his body sideways, looking at Tong Zhi with an unclear expression.
At this moment, Lin Yaoyao asked Chen Congming to help explain. He said lightly, "Mr. Tong, right? I am Chen Congming. Yaoyao and I are just friends. I hope you don't misunderstand me."
His voice is so familiar.
It was the voice that was talking to Lin Yaoyao on the phone just now.
They both said they were just friends, but Tong Zhi had a hunch: they... were more than just friends.
After all, how can friends hug each other and kiss passionately?
"He must love you very much and be better than me..."
"He must love you very much and please you better than I would..."
"..."
"........."
That song rang in my ears again!
He must love you very much!
For a long time, some netizens have jokingly called it a dog-licking song.
Tong Zhicai didn’t realize it before, but now he deeply realized: it is indeed so!
Yes!
If he hadn't come into the restaurant to find Lin Yaoyao, he wouldn't have seen Lin Yaoyao being affectionate with another man face to face, and she wouldn't have to hesitantly and cover up her explanation.
That man doesn't have to help hide it, and his identity doesn't have to be so embarrassing.
That way, you won't be too sad.
Ultimately, obsession harms others...and ultimately harms yourself.
...
After Chen Congming finished speaking, he didn't wait for Tong Zhi's reply for a long time, and immediately realized that people had become suspicious.
But...that's not enough.
There was still a fire missing to achieve the effect that Lin Yaoyao wanted.
And this fire can only be filled with his business card.
Of course, it’s not just a matter of business cards, it’s mainly the name of the company they are cooperating with - Mingyao Media.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted in people's hearts, no matter how small the matter is, it will be magnified!
Clearing his throat, Chen Congming raised his eyebrows slightly and took out his business card and handed it to Tong Zhi, "Mr. Tong, this is my business card."
"Yaoyao and I are really just friends. Please don't fight over me. It's not worth it."
Tong Zhi did not take the business card.
Chen Congming forced the business card into Tong Zhi's hand, then left a message saying, "I have something to do at the company, so I'll go first. Enjoy your meal," and strode away.
Watching his back as he walked away, he glanced at the business card in his hand. The four bright words "Mingyao Media" not only burned Tong Zhi's eyes, but also pierced his heart like a sharp knife...
What a normal friend.
Very good.
After all, it’s still my fault!
Haha~ How ironic!
As Tong Zhi stared at the business card in a daze, a look of obvious discomfort flashed across Lin Yaoyao's face and then disappeared without a trace.
She raised her hand and took Tong Zhi's arm, and changed the subject abruptly, "Brother Tong Zhi, I don't know what you like to eat? So I didn't order anything, why don't you take a look at the menu first?"
How could Tong Zhi have the appetite to eat at this moment?
Well, not only did he not want to eat, he even didn't want to spend time with Lin Yaoyao anymore.
It’s not like I dislike it or anything like that.
Mainly because when she saw Lin Yaoyao, she would think of her and Chen Congming.
32-year-old Tong Zhi is different from those young boys in their early 20s.
He understood better than anyone that love and marriage are two different things.
You can love someone as you please, but marriage requires absolute loyalty from both parties.
Just based on this one thing, Tong Zhi was absolutely certain that he and Lin Yaoyao were not destined to get married?
Sad? Of course.
Sad? Of course.
Regret? Of course.
But life is made up of regrets and imperfections one after another.
The meaning of the phrase "I don't care about forever, I only care about having it once" has reached a new height in Tongzhi's world!
"Yaoyao." After a deep sigh, Tong Zhi called Lin Yaoyao's name, "I won't eat. I came here specially to say goodbye to you."
"I'm glad to meet you. I will always remember every little thing between us."
Tong Zhi did not say a single word of farewell, but his words were full of the meaning of separation.
How could Lin Yaoyao not understand?
In fact, she is also sad.
But...since we have different paths, we are destined to go our separate ways!
This is the best result.
"Me too! Brother Tongzhi, thank you for coming to Qingcheng to accompany me."
After Lin Yaoyao finished speaking, Tong Zhi also said, "Thank you for the manor!"
Because it was you who gave it to me.
Because as long as I think about how you once spent hundreds of billions on me, how you were honest with me, and how you showed me absolute preference, I can forgive everything today.
Yaoyao, I wish you all the best for the rest of my life.
Lin Yaoyao did not send Tong Zhi to the airport, and Tong Zhi did not ask her to do so. They both understood each other tacitly and headed for different lives that would never intersect again.
later.
The first thing Tong Zhi did when he returned to Longcheng from Zhaocheng was to go on a blind date.
She was a girl of equal social status to him, and she was very fond of him.
After investigating the girl's background and past relationship history, he readily agreed to the marriage.
They got engaged and married without any big ceremony!
Very low-key, which is in line with his profession.
After marriage, they gave birth to two lovely sons...
Of course, these are all things for later!
...
After Tong Zhi left, Lin Yaoyao was in a really bad mood, so she went to the bar to get drunk.
She drank one glass after another, but she just couldn't get drunk.
We drank until 11pm and met an acquaintance.
It’s Xiao Su!
Calculating the time, they haven't seen each other for a long time. When seeing him, Lin Yaoyao felt an indescribable sense of security.
She greeted him with a smile, "Asu, what a coincidence, I can meet you here."
Lin Yaoyao was surprised to see Xiao Su, and Xiao Su was equally surprised to see her.
Yes, although they were in the same city, they hadn't seen each other for a long time. The moment he saw Lin Yaoyao, Xiao Su had the illusion that he hadn't seen her for half a century.
He said a few words to his partner, and the partner left.
He then took the opportunity to sit next to Lin Yaoyao, "Why are you drinking here alone? Are you in a bad mood?"
Xiao Su's favorability towards Lin Yaoyao has always been 98 points, never rising or falling.
The meaning is: Xiao Su, loves Lin Yaoyao!
It’s just that his love is different from others’ love. His love is: My love for you is my own business and has nothing to do with you.
"I was feeling a little down, so I drank to drown my sorrows. I didn't expect to meet you." As she spoke, Lin Yaoyao raised her hand and asked the bartender to mix a drink for Xiao Su. Then she asked him cunningly, "Lawyer Xiao, you won't reject me, right?"
If he had met Lin Yaoyao in other occasions, if Lin Yaoyao was not what Xiao Su imagined she was, he would have rejected her without even thinking about it.
But... there are no ifs.
So when faced with Lin Yaoyao's question, Xiao Su did not give an answer, but picked up the glass of wine and drank it all.
Behavior is the answer.
Lin Yaoyao was very happy.
She applauded Xiao Su, "A Su, you are awesome... Come on, cheers."
At 3:30 in the morning, Lin Yaoyao and Xiao Sucai left the bar together.
Lin Yaoyao was really drunk at this time, but Xiao Su was still sober.
His boyfriend was full of energy. He picked her up by the waist and took her straight to a nearby hotel.
This was not the first time they were in the same room together, but Xiao Su was particularly nervous tonight.
Because he gradually discovered that compared to before, he was now increasingly unable to resist Lin Yaoyao's charm.
He took four cold showers that night.
He broke the record of his lifetime.
Xiao Su: Lin Yaoyao, you are such a fairy!
There were also normal moments in this night.
For example, Lin Yaoyao hugged Xiao Su and talked about her encounter with human traffickers with a painful look on her face. She asked him again and again, "A Su, why do people always disappear and families always break up in our Dragon Country?"
"It's almost 2026, how come no one is doing anything about it?"
"Asu, do you know what I was thinking when I looked at those three children? I immediately saw their miserable future and how much their families would have to endure after they were abducted..."
"Asu...Are all the people in the relevant departments of our Dragon Country doing practical work?"
"If they're all doing it, why are there so many fragmented things?"
"Asuki..."
"..."
"........."
Lin Yaoyao said a lot, and Xiao Su's expression became more and more solemn.
As a lawyer, he is really used to the dangers in this society.
He can say responsibly: No, no, no.
Someone once advised Xiao Su to stand up and change this unfair world.
He just felt it was troublesome at the time.
But at this moment, stroking Lin Yaoyao's face, Xiao Su finally made up his mind: he had to stand up.
He, Xiao Su, wants the Long Kingdom to have peace and prosperity.
later.
Lin Yaoyao met Xiao Su again at a dinner party attended by important national figures.
His identity is - 'Your Excellency' who stands at the pinnacle of power!
And she is an outstanding female entrepreneur who has made great contributions to the country in many fields!
The moment they clasped their hands, the gears of fate closed perfectly!
Of course, this is also a matter of the past...
