In the evening, Fang Yuan called again, saying that he wanted to talk about the bidding.

Jiang Ling didn't want to leave Tao Tao at first, but the bidding matter was very important, not to mention Fang Yuan, even the whole Hengsheng paid much attention to it, thinking that if she wanted to be with Tao Tao in the future, her father would also need to take care of it, so Jiang Ling agreed. He said, planning to go to the company.

Knowing that Jiang Ling was going to leave, Tao Tao was naturally unhappy, she muttered for a while, and kept tugging at the corner of Jiang Ling's clothes, refusing to let go.

Jiang Ling packed up the documents and looked back at Tao Tao who was standing behind her. Seeing him dejected, the broken hair on his forehead blocked his bright eyes, her heart moved slightly for a moment, she took his hand and pulled him into her arms He hugged and coaxed softly.

"Be obedient, I'll be back soon."

Tao Tao buried her face in his chest and rubbed it, then nodded sullenly.

"Then... how fast is soon?"

Jiang Ling patted Tao Tao's back lightly, thought for a while, and replied, "One hour?"

Tao Tao pushed Jiang Ling away and looked up at him, with a look of disbelief, "Really? It can be done in an hour?"

Seeing Tao Tao's doubtful face, her pink lips pursed slightly intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Ling's throat tightened, and she lowered her head to kiss him.

It was just a kiss, but Tao Tao blushed.

Jiang Ling took a deep breath, hugged Tao Tao again, put her chin on the top of his head and sniffed his body lightly, although there were thousands of reluctance in her heart, she still coaxed him Tao Tao.

"I'll try to hurry up. You wait for me at home and I'll be back soon."

When sending Jiang Ling to the garage to drive, Tao Tao was still a little bit reluctant.

Tao Tao didn't know what was wrong with her, Jiang Ling just went to the company to deal with some matters, but she was so hypocritical, Tao Tao herself felt a little disgusted with herself.

Tao Tao took a long breath, straightened his back and forced himself not to be so frustrated, he curled the corners of his mouth and forced out an ugly smile.

Jiang Ling had already driven out of the car, Tao Tao quickly smiled wider and waved happily at him.

"Be careful on the road."

Jiang Ling opened the car window and looked at him sideways. Although she could see through his disguise and his pretended indifference eyes at a glance, she moved her throat lightly and wanted to say something, but she just nodded slightly, "Wait for me."

Although it was just two simple words, two words that were often heard, it caused ripples in Tao Tao's heart.

The slightly sparkling wind and waves spread from the tip of Tao Tao's heart round after round, reaching the softest place in the bottom of her heart.

Tao Tao couldn't help blushing, she always felt that she had gotten used to waiting for him, used to being waited on by him, used to having such an indispensable person in her life.

After Jiang Ling left, Tao Tao went back to the sofa and planned to continue reading the book she hadn't finished before, but she stared at the words in the book for a long time without seeing even a single punctuation mark.

Tao Tao shook her head, took a look at the phone, saw that only 10 minutes had passed, Tao Tao couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

For the first time, Tao Tao felt that this hour was so difficult.

When the phone rang, Tao Tao thought it was Jiang Ling.Almost instantly, even Tao Tao's brain didn't react, but her body had already taken the first step and took the phone.

The word "Brother" on the screen was harsh and cruel, and immediately dragged Tao Tao from a beautiful fantasy to a dirty hell.

The incessant ringing of the bell was like a deadly suona, which made Tao Tao feel that a heavy slate was pressing on her chest, and a cactus-like foreign object was stuck in her throat, and with every breath came the fine sharpness. The pain piercing through the throat and scratching the flesh made Tao Tao unable to breathe, and did not dare to breathe.

The bell rang for a while before it stopped. Tao Tao was just about to take a breath when the bell rang again.

Tao Tao stared at the phone screen in a daze, not knowing whether to pick it up, or how to face Song Chanxuan.

Even though Tao Tao had already sentenced Song Chanxuan to death in his heart, he still didn't want to get involved with Song Chanxuan.

But Tao Tao understood that the relationship between herself and the Song family could not be clarified, and some things had to be clarified.

Tao Tao's throat rolled, she swallowed dryly, and picked it up with trembling fingertips.

"Hey."

On the other end of the phone, Song Chanxuan's originally frowning brows suddenly relaxed because of Tao Tao's voice from the phone.He pursed his lips slightly, and stood up from the chair, looking a little happy.

"Why did it take so long to pick up?"

Tao Tao didn't want to be polite with him and didn't want to waste time on him, Tao Tao frowned, and lowered her voice so that her tone sounded cold enough and indifferent enough.

"What do you want."

Before Song Chanxuan could speak, Tao Tao continued, "If it's about bidding documents, then don't talk about it, I won't do it."

Tao Tao's resolute and indifferent refusal made Song Chanxuan startled, very surprised.

Song Chanxuan's expression changed suddenly, he opened his mouth, clenched his fists slightly, suppressing his anger and said, "What do you mean?"

"Are you, you don't even listen to me?"

Tao Tao's heart tightened, she straightened her back and nodded.

"I'm just too obedient to live on the chessboard for so many years."

Tao Tao said, choked up, "Brother, I can still call you brother now, if you really want to get something from Jiang Ling, whether it's this bidding or something else, you can go for it openly and honestly." .”

"But I won't do anything for you again."

"If you want to say that I owe the Song family, my mother, and you, then I should have paid off what I have done for the Song family over the years. As for the part you think is not paid off, I will go Explain to mother."

Tao Tao's voice trembled slightly and imperceptibly, but it was no longer the yearning and joy that Song Chanxuan was familiar with in the past.The trembling in his voice at this moment is not the fear of expecting him to love him. I don't know when his voice has become so indifferent, so distant, and so heart-numbing.

Song Chanxuan gritted her teeth tightly and burst out laughing.

"What's the matter with you, what are you talking about, whether you owe it or not, it can be said clearly."

"I just asked you to bring the tender for me. If you don't want to, then you can't do it well. You can tell me earlier, and it won't save me from putting all my hopes on you. It's hard to get off now."

Song Chanxuan's tone was brisk, and it sounded as if he didn't mean to blame, but in fact, behind every word and every sentence, he was talking about his embarrassment.

If it were left in the past, Tao Tao would have forgotten his name long ago because of his words, and only hated herself for not being able to help him.But right now, Tao Tao just finds it funny.

He has been willing to fall for such a poor trick for many years.

Tao Tao closed her eyes and sighed.

"elder brother."

Tao Tao's voice was soft and weak, "It's not just this matter. I won't do anything for you in the future."

He looked ahead, with a firm light in his eyes, "From now on, I will do what I want, and no one can control me."

Song Chanxuan clenched her fists tightly, staring at the night outside the window in silence for a while.

His breathing was heavy and rapid. Tao Tao felt a little flustered when he heard it, but he didn't intend to take back what he had said.

"Tao Tao."

After a while, Song Chanxuan spoke.

"So now you have to stand beside Jiang Ling and stand on the opposite side of me, right?"

Tao Tao's heart tightened, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Tao Tao felt as if she saw Song Chanxuan whom she first saw when she was ten years old.He is so beautiful, so beautiful, so shining, and so lonely.Tao Tao once wanted to give him the brightest light and the most beautiful colors in the world, and he has been doing this for so many years.

It was only now that Tao Tao realized that Song Chanxuan didn't need those things.

At least today's Song Chanxuan doesn't need it.

Everything in the past dissipated like clouds and mist, leaving only a little damp coolness, but it could no longer wet Tao Tao's hair.

Tao Tao exhaled lightly, and let out a "huh".

"If you want to stand opposite Jiang Ling, then I will stand opposite you."

Tao Tao's words were decisive without any room for change, Song Chanxuan's heart felt cold, and she sneered.

"So you have fallen in love with Jiang Ling a long time ago."

"You've been lying to me for a long time."

Tao Tao was startled, but did not answer.

Before Tao Tao could respond, Song Chan became more and more irritable.

He started to regret it.

Song Chanxuan has done a lot of things in his life, few of them are good, most of them are bad, and many people have cursed him and scolded him with vicious words.But no matter when, Song Chanxuan never regretted it.

Everything he does must be for the good of the Song family and the Song family, so he never regrets it.But this time he regretted it.

Song Chan feels in a daze that she can no longer go to Switzerland with Tao Tao to see the snow.

Those expedient promises made to him will really be nullified.

Regret and pain slowly crept up from the bottom of her heart, making Song Chanxuan a little dizzy, and her eyes were too blurred to see clearly.

After a while, Song Chanxuan called him.

"Tao Tao."

Song Chan paused for a moment, holding the glass in front of her with one hand, her eyes slowly turned cold, "Do you think that if Jiang Ling knew your purpose of approaching him, would he still allow you to stay by his side?"

Song Chanxuan's voice was gloomy and eerie. Tao Tao understood his threat, and also understood that this matter would destroy the tranquility of herself and Jiang Ling at any time, but Tao Tao was more willing to ignite the fire than to be threatened or heard from others. The person who is the fuse is himself.

Tao Tao closed her eyes and took a long breath, feeling a little tired.

"elder brother."

"We all have to pay for our choices, don't we?"

"I can bear my price, and I am willing to bear it."

As Tao Tao said, she slowly opened her eyes again, and the eyes she saw when Jiang Ling found her in the art museum that day appeared in front of her eyes.

So tragic, so angry, and so painful.

Tao Tao doesn't know what the future will be like, but now, Tao Tao feels that she can't meet someone who cares more about herself than Jiang Ling, and she can't like others like Jiang Ling.

"elder brother."

"I'll go and explain to my mother. In the future... I won't go back to Xingmao again. Take care."

Before the words finished, Tao Tao had already hung up the phone.

This phone call seemed to cut off the last trace of contact between him and Song Chanxuan. Now he and Song Chanxuan can only be ordinary old acquaintances, the most ordinary brotherly relationship without any color.

Tao Tao leaned tiredly on the sofa, her nose could not help but feel sour.

From today onwards, he will stand by Jiang Ling's side desperately.

The busy tone on the phone made Song Chanxuan's anger reach its peak. He tightly gripped the obtrusive phone, closed his eyes and took a deep breath over and over again.

The soreness in his chest slowly swept over his whole body, making him ache from his toes to the ends of his hair.

Song Chanxuan suddenly understood that from the day Tao Tao got close to Jiang Ling, he had lost him.

There were so many opportunities in front of him to keep him, but Song Chanxuan was sure of Tao Tao's liking, his reluctance, and that he would always stand in the same place waiting for him to turn around, but Song Chanxuan didn't expect that Yes, those determinations he put in his heart were actually overestimated.

The room was eerily quiet, except for Song Chanxuan's deep and suppressed breathing, nothing could be heard.

The bell suddenly came from Song Chanxuan's hand, breaking through the gloomy depression.

Almost instantly, Song Chanxuan had brought the phone in front of him, he thought it was a change of heart call, a beg for mercy after losing his temper, and a proof that he could have Tao Tao again.

It's just that the word "Liu Lai" on the phone screen pierced the fantasy balloon that Song Chanxuan blew up in those few seconds, making him look even more pathetic at night like this.

Song Chan threw the phone on the ground loudly, the broken phone didn't know whose broken future it was showing.

After a long time, Song Chanxuan suddenly laughed, and he turned to look at Manager Zheng standing in front of the table with a gloomy and terrifying expression.

"Get me the bid."

"at all costs."
