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

As a result, no one answered the phone after several calls.

He didn't care about it at that time. He was busy, and Li Shuyi was busy, and he didn't care about the other party when he was busy. This situation had not happened before.

Now, due to political changes, country a lack of confidence in investors, 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 overseas investors the opportunity to enter.

Bai Jing came this time to set up a joint development platform with a real estate private equity fund.

Doing things abroad is no better than that in China, Bai Jing quickly forgot about Li Shuyi's affairs and devoted himself to his work.

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

His cooperation was basically decided. Although the Ning family was matched up, the Ning family gained a lot of benefits, so he did not owe anyone favors.

Bai Jing felt much more relaxed, and then he remembered that he had not contacted Li Shuyi for several days.

He called Li Shuyi and was about to tell him that he had returned to China tomorrow. He called several times in a row, but this time it wasn't that no one answered, but the mechanical female voice kept reminding him that the phone was turned off.

Bai Jing felt something was wrong. Zuo Mingyuan happened to come back. He raised his head and asked, "Have Li Shuyi looked for you these days?"

After he finished speaking, he found that Zuo Mingyuan was following Ning Yue.

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

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

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

Ning Yue waited for the two of them to finish their words before he asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Bai Jing said nothing, and asked him again, "Why are you here?"

Ning Yue controlled the wheelchair and went to Bai Jing and smiled and said, "I will go to the hospital tomorrow morning. I can't take you to the airport. I'll come to tell you apart in advance."

Although Bai Jing and Ning Yue no longer had anything, the friendship between the two was still there when they were young, so of course he also hoped that Ning Yue would get better as soon as possible. He immediately raised his hand and patted each other on the shoulder, and in a deep voice, "Treat treatment."

Ning Yue nodded, but his eyes avoided Bai Jing's ring-wearing hand. When his eyes swept across the glass coffee table next to him, he was stunned.

The box with ebony piano paint has a gold stamping emblem on it. It comes from the most famous old brand in the world with a history of watchmaking for nearly two hundred years.

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

Bai Jing followed his gaze, said nothing, picked up the box and handed it to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue took it carefully. After opening and seeing what was inside, the expression on his face almost couldn't be maintained.

The platinum case is hand-engraved arabesque pattern, the dial outline is embedded with blue enamel, and the movement numbers and stars in the center area are painted bright gray.

It is the astronomical tourbillon he had previously been interested in, which caused a lot of sensation when it was launched. It is also the most complex and exquisite watch in the astronomical series so far.

Or, it is not so much a watch as a work of art. So even if the price is amazing, there are still many buyers, and Ning Yue is one of them. He regretted it for a long time when he was not photographed in the end.

Now, what he was thinking about was right in front of him, but he didn't think it was bought by Bai Jing for him.

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

"Sorry, this watch already has an owner."

"Is that true?" Ning Yue lowered his eyes and murmured, "Is it Li Shuyi?"

Without giving him too much psychological preparation time, Bai Jing replied "Yes".

The room was 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 as a gift to Li Shuyi, or was it because he was threatened?

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

Bai Jing did not deny it. Ning Yue was about to continue talking, and Zuo Mingyuan was back.

Ning Yue and Zuo Mingyuan have not met many times, and this is the first time he has seen him look so panicked. He secretly expects Li Shuyi to cause any major disaster, but when Zuo Mingyuan speaks, he only says one sentence.

"Li Shuyi is gone."

"What does it mean?" Bai Jing's face suddenly calmed down.

Zuo Mingyuan looked at Ning's words the more he didn't say anything, Ning felt more and more willingly, and said softly: "You guys talk, I'll go back first." As he said that, he controlled the wheelchair and left the room.

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

Zuo Mingyuan began to ask Tang Xue, and Tang Xue said that Li Shuyi did not go 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 that something was wrong, so he called Yihe, and the other side actually told him that Jiang Manqing died suddenly due to heart problems.

Zuo Mingyuan knew that the matter was serious, so he quickly came back to tell Bai Jing.

"You make arrangements and go back to China soon." Bai Jing didn't ask any more questions, lowered his eyes and started dialing the number.

"But, but tonight's cocktail party..."

"I said, go back to China soon." Bai Jing raised his head, pursed his thin lips tightly, and his whole body was covered with a layer of frost.

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

Tang Xue estimated that the time had arrived at the Bai family. But the plane was probably late, and neither Bai Jing nor Zuo Mingyuan arrived.

She has been here before, because Bai Jing and Li Shuyi are both people who pay great attention to ** and do not like to take home work, so they don’t come home many times.

Uncle Wu was extremely polite to her. Even though she waved her hands repeatedly to refuse, she still brought me exquisite desserts and flower tea.

Tang Xue stood up and thanked her again.

Uncle Wu couldn't help but sigh when he looked at her restrained movements. Every time Tang Xue and Jin Yan came here, they looked like they were sitting on pins and needles, as if they were afraid of disturbing anything. But with their relationship with Li Shuyi, this shouldn't have been done.

I think everyone knows in their hearts that Li Shuyi is just an outsider who lives here temporarily.

"Where has Li Shuyi gone?" Uncle Wu was not sure about the specific situation, and he thought Tang Xue was here to talk to Bai Jing about work.

Tang Xue smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either."

Uncle Wu shook his head and sighed again. As soon as the person who was taking care of the garden arrived, he got up to arrange things.

Tang Xue didn't wait too long, and when she heard the sound of the car outside, she stood up.

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

"Mr. Bai, Assistant Zuo." Tang Xue called out first.

Bai Jing had no expression on his face, but because of the long flight after high-intensity work and the jet lag that had not yet reversed, he couldn't hide his tiredness for a while. He sat down on the sofa, loosened his tie, pinched his nose bridge to wake up, and then raised his head and said, "You said."

Bai Jing's eyes were very light, but Tang Xue clearly felt a heavy pressure, which made her back feel a little unstable.

Tang Xue calmed down, took out the documents from her briefcase, walked a few steps forward and placed the documents on the coffee table in front of Bai Jing: "This is what Mr. Li asked me to give to you, please read it."

Bai Jing opened the document and looked at it. His chin was tightened into a sharp line, and his dark eyes were full of coldness. Zuo Mingyuan stood beside him, looked down and glanced at him for a few seconds. After understanding what this was, he didn't dare to let out.

Bai Jing and Li Shuyi have known each other for seventeen years and have worked together for at least thirteen or fourteen years. The two have too deep affair, not only in terms of emotions, but also in their shared investments.

Real estate, wineries, collectibles, and other real estate, plus other large and small shares, must be calculated clearly, and even three days and three nights may not necessarily result.

So they broke up, not like ordinary couples. They can pat their butts and leave with just a saying "We are not suitable". This is why Bai Jing asked Li Shuyi to "talk" after coming back from a business trip. Why, when Li Shuyi was sick, he repeatedly emphasized "discussing again after being discharged from the hospital."

Now, there is no need to talk about anything.

Because of Li Shuyi, he gave up everything.

At the end of the document, Bai Jing saw Li Shuyi's signature. If it weren't for being too 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 filled with anger, but his face was still calm: "Tell me, what will he do this time?"

When Tang Xue heard his words, she wanted to laugh, but was a little sad.

In the end, you must love the other person and understand the other person more so that you can even guess the reaction and answer of this person.

Tang Xue put away his sadness and said, "Mr. Bai, Mr. Li knows you won't believe it, so I let me tell you that although he has left, he will never do anything that will harm the Bai family in the future. He swears with his father and aunt, please rest assured."

Zuo Mingyuan's face turned blue. Li Wenzhuo and Li Wenying swear that this is much heavier than "thunder strikes", "no good death" and "going to hell". If he still had some doubts before, he was completely sure that Li Shuyi was really gone, not joking, nor was he playing hard to get.

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

After saying that, she bowed slightly: "I have brought you all the things Mr. Li wants me to take, so I won't disturb you."

The crisp sound of high heels became farther and farther away. When I was completely lost, the room fell into a strange silence.

Bai Jing's hand slowly closed, the paper wrinkled into a ball on his palm, and the paper made a harsh friction sound.

The air was a little wet and cold that night after the rain. The man sat under the dizzy street light and actually chased the moth with the tip of his shoe, like a child.

He asked with his eyes wide open, "We have known each other for so long?" His brows were a little cute.

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

It turned out to be his goodbye.
