Chapter 559 - 559 560 Strangers (9) _1
?Chapter 559: Chapter 560: Strangers (9) _1 Chapter 559: Chapter 560: Strangers (9) _1 After a long time, Jing Haohao gradually felt her emotions calming down bit by bit. She took a couple of deep breaths, slowly turned around, and gave herself a small smile in the mirror. Seeing her smile look natural as usual, she picked up her bag, ready to return to her box.
Before Jing Haohao could turn around, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door. They sounded a little heavy, like a man’s footsteps. Jing Haohao absentmindedly lifted her head and, through the mirror, saw the person who entered. She froze on the spot instantly.
…
The current president of the Tianrong Company was celebrating his birthday today. He had booked a few tables at the Four Seasons Hotel, inviting all the senior executives of the company.
The Tianrong Company used to belong to Shen Liangnian. Though it has been sold, some of his business still remained within the company. Thus, he was present at tonight’s banquet.
Ever since he was diagnosed with cancer in the hospital, Shen Liangnian seldom attended social gatherings. He had been avoiding medication, appearing like a normal person. However, recently, he often felt pain in his stomach, and thus started to carry his medicines with him.
Drinking was inevitable at the banquet. Shen Liangnian’s stomach couldn’t bear spicy alcoholic food any longer. After taking only a few sips, he felt severe convulsions and pain in his stomach, so he excused himself to the restroom to dodge the occasion.
Who knew? As soon as he drove in, he saw a familiar figure.
Shen Liangnian’s footsteps slightly halted. Then, through the large mirror in front, he saw Jing Haohao’s beautiful face.
After Jing Haohao left, he asked about her whereabouts. Eventually, he learned from Cong Rong that Jing Haohao went to France.
Jing Haohao dropped out before graduating from middle school. She doesn’t speak French, and her English is limited to a few common sayings. How could she survive alone in France?
He had tried to find her in France several times, but always returned empty-handed. Cong Rong told him that even Liang Chen couldn’t find Jing Haohao, so how could he?
Now, looking at Jing Haohao, whom he hadn’t seen in so long, Shen Liangnian stood still as if struck by something. His eyes revealed his uncontainable excitement. Staring blankly as if in disbelief, he even forgot about the painful throbbing in his stomach.
It took a while for Shen Liangnian to blink lightly at Jing Haohao. He questioned, “Haohao?”
Jing Haohao didn’t know if this was God’s favor towards her. She had been back in Jiangshan City for nearly two months and hadn’t run into any of the people from her past. But now, immediately after bumping into Liang Chen, she saw Shen Liangnian.
Compared to meeting Liang Chen, Jing Haohao found herself calmer in front of Shen Liangnian. She slowly lifted her eyelids and said, “What a coincidence.”
Shen Liangnian nodded, staring at Jing Haohao without moving his eyes. After a moment, he asked, “Haohao, have you been well these days?”
Was she well?
She had put an end to a ten-year relationship that chiseled her heart and soul.
She had ended a ludicrously chaotic entanglement.
One was Shen Liangnian, and the other was Liang Chen.
Jing Haohao curled her lips and said, “I’ve been okay.”
Two people who had loved each other so much, who had endless stories to tell, now found themselves face-to-face with nothing to say but ordinary greetings like “Have you been well?” and “I’ve been okay”.
