Chapter 545 - 545 546 Autumn Should Be Nice If You Are Still
?Chapter 545: Chapter 546: Autumn Should Be Nice, If You Are Still Here (5)_1 Chapter 545: Chapter 546: Autumn Should Be Nice, If You Are Still Here (5)_1 In the bus, Jing Haohao’s colleague was constantly peering out of the window, then gestured to a car outside before nudging Jing Haohao’s arm, and commented, “Haohao, Look at the car outside our window. It’s an Aston Martin, definitely worth tens of millions at least, a true embodiment of a wealthy, handsome man!”
Jing Haohao glanced carelessly at the car her colleague pointed at. Then her gaze froze.
The car’s license plate and its model were very familiar to her.
It was Liang Chen’s car.
Since her return to Jiangshan City, she had considered the possibility of running into Liang Chen. But she never thought she would encounter his car on her way home from work while sitting on a bus.
The windows of his car were covered with a reflective film so Jing Haohao couldn’t see the inside of the car.
Her eyes, not blinking once, kept a firm stare at the vehicle.
After a while, the red light at the intersection turned green. Even though the bus she was on hadn’t started moving, Liang Chen’s car shot forwards. It disappeared after taking a quick left turn at the road ahead.
Jing Haohao’s gaze was still fixed on the spot where his car had disappeared. She didn’t register any of the comments her colleague made beside her. It wasn’t until they arrived at a bus stop and her colleague got off the bus that she snapped out of her daze. She gave her colleague a small smile and said “goodbye.”
Jing Haohao then moved to sit by the window, resting her head on the glass as she stared out.
That brief glimpse of his car, even though she hadn’t seen him, had brought back a rush of past memories, unsettling her once calm disposition.
When she first arrived in the UK, she often thought she could hear Liang Chen’s voice in her ear at night.
“Jing Haohao, if you leave today, we’re finished for the rest of our lives!”
“Jing Haohao, I beg you, don’t leave, wait for me…”
His tone was a mixture of dominance, disappointment, sorrow, and pain.
No one else had ever spoken to her like that, and that voice would keep her awake at night. After some time, she finally managed to calm her emotions and slowly those memories felt as if they had been buried deep within her heart. Seeing his car today, that voice echoed in her ears again like a song on repeat, throwing her emotions into chaos.
Given the situation, Liang Yuan had already made himself clear. She couldn’t let her dignity be trampled on again and the only thing she could do was take the tape that Liang Chen had threatened her with and leave. From that point on, they would have nothing to do with each other.
Yes, since they had chosen to break off all ties, why was she overthinking things at the sight of his car?
Moreover, Liang Chen now had nothing left to hold over her; she no longer had to fear that he would force her to return to him.
They were from different worlds before and it remained the same now.
…
The Liang family’s Mid-Autumn Festival celebration was particularly lively. The whole family, both young and old, gathered together and the table was filled with the feast prepared by their servants.
It was a rare occasion for everyone in the family to be together, and a few drinks were inevitably consumed.
During dinner, Liang Chen’s cousin proposed, “Shall we play cards at my place?”
Liang Chen shook his head, got up from his seat, and said, “I’m leaving.”
Since the incident with Jing Haohao, he, who rarely visited his old house before, came back even less frequently. Sometimes, even if he did make an appearance like tonight, it would merely be for appearances’ sake. As soon as the festivities were done, he would leave immediately.
