end of love

The first time Bai Jing contacted Li Shuyi after arriving in Country A was when he heard from Zuo Mingyuan that he was going on a business trip to Lincheng.

As a result, I made several phone calls but no one answered.

He didn't care about it at the time.He was busy, and Li Shuyi was also busy. When he was busy, he couldn't take care of the other party. This kind of situation had never happened before.

Country a is now lacking investor confidence due to political changes, and real estate funds have to sell commercial real estate to raise enough funds to meet investors' redemption needs.Therefore, many real estate projects will return to the market, which also gives opportunities for overseas investors to enter.

Bai Jing came this time because he wanted to establish a joint development platform with a real estate private equity fund.

Doing things abroad is not as good as doing things at home. Bai Jing quickly forgot about Li Shuyi and devoted himself to work.

When Bai Jing came back to his senses, it was already three days later.

The cooperation on his side is basically settled. Although there is a matchmaking by the Ning family, the Ning family has benefited a lot from it, so he doesn't owe favors.

Bai Jing relaxed a lot, and then remembered that he hadn't contacted Li Shuyi for a few days.

He called Li Shuyi, planning to tell him that he would return to China tomorrow.I made several calls in a row, but this time it was not that no one answered, the mechanical female voice kept reminding me that the phone was turned off.

Bai Jing felt something was wrong, just when Zuo Mingyuan came back, he raised his head and asked, "Has Li Shuyi looked for you these days?"

It was only after he finished speaking that he realized that Zuo Mingyuan was still following Ning Yue.

Zuo Mingyuan shook his head: "No. Last time Tang Xue called and said he was going to Lincheng on a business trip."

Bai Jing frowned and said, "I can't contact him, you can ask Tang Xue immediately."

Zuo Mingyuan responded, picked up his phone and walked out.

Ning Yue waited for the two of them to finish talking, and then asked, "What happened?"

"It's okay." Bai Jing didn't say much, but changed the subject and asked him, "Why are you here?"

Ning Yue steered the wheelchair to Bai Jing, said with a smile, "I'm going to the hospital tomorrow morning, and I can't take you to the airport, so I'll come early to say goodbye to you."

Although Bai Jing and Ning Yue no longer have anything, but after all, the friendship between the two of them is still there when they were young. Of course, he also hopes that Ning Yue will get better soon.Immediately, he raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Treat him well."

Ning Yue nodded, but his eyes avoided Bai Jing's hand wearing the ring, and when he glanced at the glass coffee table next to him, he froze in place.

The box with ebony wood grain piano lacquer, with a bronzing emblem on it, comes from the world's most famous old watchmaking brand with a history of nearly 200 years.

Ning Yue's hands curled up slowly, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Can I have a look?"

Bai Jing followed his gaze, without saying anything, picked up the box and handed it to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue took it carefully, and after opening it to see what was inside, he almost lost the expression on his face.

The white gold case is hand-engraved with arabesques, blue enamel is embedded in the dial outline, and the movement number and stars in the central area are painted bright gray.

It was the astronomical tourbillon that he had fancyed before, which caused quite a stir when it was launched, and it is also the most complicated and exquisite watch in the astronomical series so far.

Or, rather than a watch, it is a work of art.So even if the price is astonishing, there are still many buyers, and Ning Yue is one of them.In the end, he regretted for a long time when he didn't get it.

Now, the thing he was thinking of was right in front of his eyes, but he didn't feel that it was bought by Bai Jing as a gift for him.

Ning Yue closed the box, and half-jokingly and half-seriously said to Bai Jing, "Can you consider selling it to me?"

"Sorry, this watch already has an owner."

"Really." Ning Yue lowered his eyes and murmured, "Is it Li Shuyi?"

Without giving him much time to prepare mentally, Bai Jing answered "Yes".

The room fell silent, for some reason, Ning Yue suddenly wanted to laugh.

Bai Jing rejected him because he was threatened by Li Shuyi.

Bai Jing put on the ring because he was threatened by Li Shuyi.

So, did Bai Jing give this unique watch to Li Shuyi as a gift, or was it because he was threatened?

Ning Yue felt uncomfortable, calmed down and said: "I remember you told me that you don't love him."

Bai Jing didn't deny it, Ning Yue was about to continue talking when Zuo Mingyuan came back.

Ning Yue didn't meet Zuo Mingyuan many times, and it was the first time he saw him look so flustered.He secretly expected Li Shuyi to cause some disaster, but when Zuo Mingyuan opened his mouth, there was only one sentence.

"Li Shuyi is gone."

"What do you mean?" Bai Jing's face suddenly sank.

Zuo Mingyuan glanced at Ning Yue and said nothing, Ning Yue understood, and said softly: "You guys talk, I'll go back first." After speaking, he controlled the wheelchair and left the room.

Zuo Mingyuan and the others were completely out of sight before continuing: "He is gone, and Jin Yan is gone too. And...Jiang Manqing is dead."

Zuo Mingyuan started to ask Tang Xue, Tang Xue said that Li Shuyi hadn't gone to Lincheng, and she didn't know where she went.Then he contacted Jin Yan's hospital and learned that Jin Yan had been transferred three days ago.He felt more and more wrong, so he called Yihe, who actually told him that Jiang Manqing had died suddenly of a heart problem.

Zuo Mingyuan knew that the matter was serious, so he hurried back and told Bai Jing.

"Make arrangements and return to China right away." Bai Jing didn't ask any more questions, lowered his eyes and began to dial the number.

"But, but tonight's reception..."

"I said, go back to China right away." Bai Jing raised his head, his thin lips were tightly pressed, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Zuo Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "I see."

Tang Xue estimated that the time was up for the Bai family.But the plane was probably delayed, and neither Bai Jing nor Zuo Mingyuan arrived.

She has been here before, because Bai Jing and Li Shuyi are both extremely private people, and they don't like to take home things at work, so they don't come here many times.

Uncle Wu treated her very politely, even though she repeatedly waved his hand to refuse, he still brought some exquisite snacks and scented tea.

Tang Xue stood up and thanked her again.

Seeing her stiff movements, Uncle Wu couldn't help sighing.Every time Tang Xue and Jin Yan came here, they always looked like they were sitting on pins and needles, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.But with their relationship with Li Shuyi, this shouldn't be the case.

Thinking about it, everyone knew in their hearts that Li Shuyi was just an outsider living here temporarily.

"Where did Li Shuyi go?" Uncle Wu still didn't know the specific situation, and thought that Tang Xue had come to talk to Bai Jing about work.

Tang Xue smiled wryly, "I don't know either."

Uncle Wu shook his head and sighed again, just as the gardener arrived, he got up to arrange things.

Tang Xue didn't wait too long. When she heard the sound of the car's engine outside, she stood up.

After a while, Bai Jing and Zuo Mingyuan came in.

"Boss Bai, assistant left." Tang Xue called someone first.

Bai Jing didn't have any expression on his face, but because of the long flight after the high-intensity work and the jet lag, he couldn't hide his tiredness for a while.He sat down on the sofa straight away, loosened his tie, pinched the bridge of his nose to wake himself up, and then raised his head and said, "Say it."

Bai Jing's eyes were light, but Tang Xue clearly felt a heavy pressure, so that she couldn't even straighten her back.

Tang Xue stabilized her mind, took out the document from the briefcase, walked a few steps forward and put the document on the coffee table in front of Bai Jing: "President Li asked me to give it to you, please have a look at it."

Bai Jing opened the file, looked at it, his jaw tightened into a sharp line, his dark eyes were full of coldness.Zuo Mingyuan stood beside him, glanced down, and after seeing what it was, he didn't dare to breathe.

Bai Jing and Li Shuyi have known each other for 17 years, and they have worked together for at least thirteen or four years.The entanglement between the two people is too deep, not only emotionally, but also their shared investment.

Real estate, wineries, collectibles, and other real estate assets, large and small, if we really want to calculate everything clearly, even if we talk for three days and three nights, there may not be any results.

So they broke up, not like ordinary couples, who can pat their butts and leave with a sentence of "we are not suitable".This is why, Bai Jing would ask Li Shuyi to "talk" after returning from a business trip, and why, when Li Shuyi was ill, he repeatedly emphasized "talking after leaving the hospital".

Now, there is nothing to talk about.

Because of Li Shuyi, he gave up all of them.

Turning to the end of the document, Bai Jing saw Li Shuyi's signature.If it wasn't because he was so familiar with the other party's handwriting, he would have doubted whether the handwriting was forged.

Bai Jing looked at Tang Xue, his heart was boiling with anger, but his face remained calm: "Tell me, what is he going to do this time?"

When Tang Xue heard his words, she wanted to laugh, but also felt sad.

How much you have to love the other person, how much you have to know the other person, can even guess the person's reaction and answer exactly.

Tang Xue put away her sad emotions and said, "Boss Bai, Boss Li knows you won't believe it, so let me tell you that even though he left, he will never do anything to harm the Bai family in the future. He swears by his father and aunt, please rest assured."

Zuo Mingyuan's face turned blue.Swear by Li Wenzhuo and Li Wenying, this is much more serious than "struck by lightning", "died a bad death", and "going to hell".If he still had doubts before, he was absolutely sure after hearing this, that Li Shuyi had really left, not joking, let alone playing hard to get.

"Finally." Tang Xue said softly, "He wishes you and Young Master Ning Yue to grow old together forever."

After finishing speaking, she bowed slightly: "I'll bring everything Mr. Li wants me to bring, so I won't bother you."

The crisp high-heeled shoes sounded farther and farther away, and when they could no longer be heard, the room fell into a strange silence.

Bai Jing's hands slowly closed, the document crumpled into a ball in his palm, and the paper made an ear-piercing rubbing sound.

That night after the rain, the air was a bit damp and cold, and the man was sitting under the dim yellow street lamp, and he even used the toe of his shoe to chase away moths, just like a child.

He stared and asked, have we known each other for so long?The frown is a little cute.

Before he left, he put a light kiss on his forehead and said goodbye with a smile.

It turned out his goodbye.

That's what it means.
