"What to drink?"

Without resentment, hostility, indifference, or restraint, Chen Liang's attitude was very peaceful, just as Dong Dong said, it was like facing an old classmate who was once.

"Come on lemonade."

Jiang Xin said softly.

Chen Liang raised his hand and called the waiter.

"A cup of lemonade, thank you."

"Okay, please wait."

The waiter nodded and left. He withdrew his gaze, looked at Jiang Xin, and asked with a smile: "Didn't go to work today?"

Jiang Xin smiled slightly.

"I'm relatively free to work, so I'm taking a break today."

Chen Liang nodded.

"I remember when you said you wanted to work in a bank, but your ideal was realized?"

He asked with a smile, like a greeting from an old friend, without deliberately avoiding that past.

Jiang Xin shook her head, raised her lips, and felt quite self-deprecating.

"No. After graduation, I submitted a few bank resumes and passed the written interview, but at the end I was squeezed out by the related accounts, and I went to two or three. I didn't have a background relationship and most people really couldn't get in, so I gave up."

Chen Liang sighed.

"What a pity."

His expression was very sincere, not like a gloating.

Jiang Xin glanced at him and said softly: "Now I work in Gong Zisheng's company."

Chen Liang's face did not change, and even smiled on his face. He nodded and said, "It's great. The class monitor is developing well now. If you are in his company, everyone is an alumni, and he can take care of him."

Jiang Xin's pupils shrank slightly, as if she didn't expect the other party to respond like this.

No matter what, they were once lovers. When they heard such news, were they really not at all resentful?

Although he didn't want Chen Liang to misunderstand, Jiang Xin felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Chen Liang's reaction at this time.

"Hello, your lemonade."

The waiter brought the lemonade with a tray and placed it in front of Jiang Xin.

"Thanks."

After the waiter left, Jiang Xin adjusted her mood and continued: "At the beginning, Gong Zisheng invited me to his company. Because I owe him some money, I was not easy to refuse, so I had to agree."

"You owe him money?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Liang's expression finally fluctuated and he frowned slightly.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Xin was happy when she saw this, but she didn't show it. She held the glass in her hands and explained: "Because my mother was seriously ill a few years ago, I need money to treat my mother, but I don't know anyone. It was Gong Zisheng who took the initiative to lend me 300,000 after hearing about this."

"Auntie is sick? When did this happen?"

Chen Liang showed concern.

Although he had never seen Jiang Xin's mother, he often heard Jiang Xin's calls with her mother when he was in love. In short, he could feel that the other party did not agree with Jiang Xin being with him.

But this is understandable.

At that time, he was just a poor boy with both parents. If any parents were not willing to hand over his daughter to such a person.

"It's about two or three months after graduation."

Two or three months after graduation, this is the time when Jiang Xin and herself proposed to break up.

Could it be that Jiang Xin broke up with her because her mother was sick?

However, Chen Liang did not rush to ask, but took the lead in caring: "How is Auntie's illness now? Is it okay?"

Jiang Xin nodded.

"After several surgeries, it's not a serious problem."

Chen Liang nodded.

"That's good."

Seeing him like this, Jiang Xin couldn't help but feel emotion in her heart.

From beginning to end, she never felt that Chen Liang had a problem with his character. There was only one reason why her mother strongly opposed her being with Chen Liang back then, that was that she disliked Chen Liang for being poor.

If my mother knew that the poor boy who had nothing in her eyes was now driving a supercar of tens of millions, I wonder what he would have felt?

"Chen Liang, the reason why I was so anxious to break up with you was because my mother was sick and I needed to go back to take care of her. At that time, I didn't have the energy to think about the matter between us, and just wanted to go back to take care of my mother."

Jiang Xin stared at Chen Liang with her eyes that were cleaner than lemonade.

"I know that my hasty decision to break up with you must have caused some harm to you. Later, we lost contact, so I never had a chance to explain. That's why I asked Dong Dong to ask you out this time to explain what happened in person."

As she spoke, her face with light makeup was filled with apology and guilt.

"I kept saying to you...I'm sorry."

Listening to the explanation that he was late for a long time, Chen Liang was silent for a moment, and then smiled.

"Auntie is sick, why didn't you tell me at that time?"

"What's the use of telling you?"

"We had just graduated shortly before, and it was a critical period of employment. You were busy looking for jobs everywhere. Could I ask you to accompany me to take care of my mother?"

Jiang Xin shook her head.

"This is unfair to you."

Chen Liang calmed down.

He is no longer the naive young man he used to be, and it is impossible for him to believe whatever others say.

Regardless of how true Jiang Xin's explanation is, it is enough to explain some problems just because she remembered to give herself an explanation after so long.

As for losing contact.

Stop being funny.

Even though they broke up and the two deleted their contact information, he didn't believe that the other party would even delete Dong Dong's number. Moreover, she was working in Gong Zisheng's company. As long as she was willing, how could she not be able to contact herself?

But no matter how true or false the story is, it can at least be considered a knot in my heart.

"Thank you for giving me an explanation, even if this explanation is two years late."

Chen Liang raised his smile.

Jiang Xin bit her lower lip and said slowly: "Would you... forgive me?"

This sentence "forgiveness" is a bit meaningful.

Chen Liang looked at her.

"Dating is something that two people love each other. Both parties have the right to decide whether to stay or not. You have nothing wrong and you don't need to apologize at all."

At this moment, Chen Liang still had a peaceful smile on his face and a friendly tone, but there was always a sense of unfamiliar distance hidden in it.

Jiang Xin's lower lip was biting her lower lip and increased her strength again.

"I really know I'm wrong. Chen Liang, can you give me another chance? I will really make up for you."

Chen Liang's eyes were calm, and he murmured at the woman he had indeed thought about spending his whole life with.

"Life is like traveling against a single road, how can there be a time to look back?"

It seems to be telling the other person.

It also seems to be saying to himself.

After saying that, he stopped staying, took out his wallet and took out a few hundred-dollar bills and placed them on the table.

"I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Immediately, I got up quickly and passed Jiang Xin.

The footsteps gradually faded away.

Jiang Xin sat in her seat, staring at the bills, her face tense, and her lips were almost bleeding from biting.
