4 The Ex and the Curren (1/2)
Xiao Luo felt that he had been reborn after the car accident. He did not really have much complaints about Zhao Mengqi. He felt more numb than anything else and expressed his understanding about her choices. After all, the world had always been very realistic and cruel.
”I resigned due to personal reasons, it has little to do with you.”
Xiao Luo smiled, ”If there's nothing else, goodbye!”
A goodbye to put a perfect full stop to their four year relationship. There were no entanglements between them, no pestering. He would not lay down the dignity he had as a man to appeal for anything more. He turned around airily and left.
Zhao Mengqi stood rooted in the same spot and only felt emptiness in her heart. She originally came to rant about Xiao Luo's shortcomings and to also confirm that her choice of leaving Xiao Luo was correct - such a weak and incompetent man was not worthy of her at all.
But the result was not what she had expected. Xiao Luo did not plead with her to stay, nor did he have any sad feelings, which suddenly made her feel a little indignant. Things should not be like this.
”Xiao Luo, don't pretend that you don't care. I know that you really hate me, but this is reality.”
Zhao Mengqi shouted, ”I can almost predict the trajectory of your life. You can't escape from the fate of a working man. Maybe you'll succeed one day, but whether it's ten years or twenty years later, who knows? You can afford it, but I can't afford to waste my youth. I don't want to live in a narrow rental house with you after marriage, and I don't want to be a slave to our mortgage for thirty years after the down payment for a house. That is not how I want to live like that. ”
Xiao Luo turned his head and said with a blank expression, ”So?”
”So I chose to leave you and make plans for my own future.” Zhao Mengqi blurted out, answering in a self-righteous voice.
”Well, you did right.”
Xiao Luo kept a smile on his face from beginning to end. His ease and calm remained unchanged, ”Thanks for giving me a lesson in the school of hard knocks.”
Zhao Mengqi was stunned once again. She did not understand why Xiao Luo could still be so calm. Shouldn't he have lost all rational thought and gone mad? Was this guy pretending or did he really not care?
”Qiqi?”
At this moment, a Lamborghini sports car stopped next to Zhao Mengqi. The window rolled down, revealing the face of a handsome young man. With one glance, one could tell that he was a young master who had been pampered since childhood. His skin was very fair and he was dressed in branded apparel.
Xiao Luo recognized at a glance that this was Hua Haifeng, the son of the Chairman of Huahai Corporation, also known as Young Master Hua. He was said to be a total playboy. Many beautiful, unmarried women in Huahai Corporation had a little history with him.
”Qiqi, what are you doing here?”
Hua Haifeng alighted from the sports car before realizing that Xiao Luo was there. He pointed at Xiao Luo with a hostile expression,
”Who is he?”
Zhao Mengqi was rather embarrassed, but didn't hide anything. She said coquettishly, ”He's Xiao Luo.”
”Xiao Luo? So he's your ex.”
Hua Haifeng had a sudden realization; it was obvious that he knew about Xiao Luo's existence and the relationship between Zhao Mengqi and Xiao Luo.
He glanced at Xiao Luo, and a nebulous expression flashed across his eyes, ”Since he's your ex, it would be impolite for me, as the current, not to say hello to him.”
”Young Master Hua, with your status, there is no need for you to say hello to him. Let's just go,” Zhao Mengqi said.
Hua Haifeng and Xiao Luo formed a sharp contrast. The more she looked at Xiao Luo, the more she felt that he was incapable and powerless. He truly belonged to the bottom of the pile. She did not want to see any interaction between Hua Haifeng, who had a distinguished status, and Xiao Luo.
”Qiqi, you can't say that. After all, he took care of you before I showed up. It is only natural that I thank him for that. Wait for me here, I'll be right back.”
