Great Era Sequel - Who Will Let Go

Chapter 5

The wine glass in front of her was filled again, and Ding Xiaoxie drank it down again. She couldn't help frowning slightly, and even regretted agreeing to come to this party.

Originally, he wanted to stay by Ding Xiaoxie's side and get in touch with him more, then he would be able to find a chance to defeat the Ding family sooner.

But at this gathering, we didn’t talk about business or personal matters. We only met a boss from Taiwan called Ah Hai, who was the one who called her sister-in-law just now. He said he was the boss of Taiwan, but he was actually just a big brother. .

Fang Ting had no affection for this person at first.

But when he talked about his wife, that shy smile made her feel warm and...familiar.

Especially when he said, "I think the best thing I have done in my life is to marry her as my wife. For her, I can not even be the head of the hall. I can give up everything. If she wants to go back to Hong Kong, I will just marry her." Accompany her back to Hong Kong, wherever she wants to go, I will accompany her there."

Ah Hai's words heard Fang Ting's ears, but her heart shuddered tightly, as if being pinched.

Because the words that I don't want to remember the most echoed in my ears at this moment.

"I give up everything, my family, my brother, and the country I fought back for so many years. I just hope that you can go with me."

At the beginning, the man she loved, holding the Bible she gave, eagerly hoped that she could go with him, leave Hong Kong and start over in Canada.

"Is your family more important than me?" His words shook her heart even more. At that moment, she also wanted to hold the ticket tightly in her hand.

Just in a blink of an eye, the word Ding Xie came to mind again

His thoughts suddenly became complicated and chaotic like dust, and those things that he didn't want to face and were unbearable, appeared in front of his eyes like a marquee.

She has lied to herself for too long, she has avoided it for too long.

The ticket in her hand may be the entrance to happiness, but it is also the exit that pushes her to betrayal.

So, she couldn't be selfish, and she didn't dare to be selfish anymore. At this moment, she was forcing herself to let go, to let go of a love that was unforgettable to her.

Ding Xiaoxie at the side looked at her slightly dazed expression, under the catalysis of alcohol, although he did not make him drunk, but seemed to relax his tense emotions, he leaned towards Fang Ting, with his big hands behind her , with such a movement, although she didn't touch it, it seemed to surround her.

"What are you thinking?" He whispered in his ear, the faint smell of cologne mixed with the slightly intoxicating smell of alcohol, as if going back to the past, when he was leaning against him, his breath was always full of his smell.

As soon as she turned around, he was right in front of her eyes. Fang Ting's heart beat a few beats faster at such a close distance.

His approach gently stirred the tightly sealed feelings in her heart, and also brought back the memories in her memory that she deliberately wanted to forget.

"It's nothing!" Then she said, "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom." The words were still on her lips, and she was already getting up in a hurry.If it weren't for the lights in the box room, which was orange and dim, the faint blush on her cheeks at this moment would have made her even more embarrassed.

Looking at the figure she stepped out of, Ding Xiaoxie's eyes were slightly darkened, and what filled his heart was reluctance and heartbreak.

And she was upset, until the moment water was splashed on her face, the hatred and hatred also followed the cold water, forcing her to face it soberly.

She took a deep breath and looked at herself in the mirror, her face was wet with water, but there were actually tears she didn't want to admit.

Fang Ting didn't know what to do next, she only knew that at this moment, what she needed was calmness.

But at this time, a very fashionable woman came in, leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette case from her bag, and acted naturally like a person who couldn't leave his cigarette.

She glanced at the woman, only to see that she was exhaling thick smoke, and then she also looked at Fang Ting.

But he said coldly, "There is no no-smoking sign here!" After speaking, the hand holding the cigarette was put into his mouth again.

Fang Ting couldn't help smiling in her heart, how could she be quiet in such a place.

So she opened the door and walked out. The loud music sounded in her ears again, but it made her want to walk out of the ballroom.Here, she didn't want to stay here for a moment, just because of him.

But in the end, she still stood in front of this door.

Just when she was about to push open the door of the box, a hand came from behind her and pushed the door open a step earlier.

Fang Ting glanced at it, but it was that person.

The woman glanced at Fang Ting, and after a short pause, she pushed the door open and entered.

Ah Hai waved at the woman, "Come here and say hello to Brother Xiao." Then he said, "This is Miss Fang, Brother Xiao's assistant."

He embraced the woman intimately, his face full of happiness

"She is my wife, Xiaoman."

Compared with Ah Hai's happy appearance at this time, Xiao Man is obviously much more indifferent.

She stared at Ding Xiaoxie with big eyes, and then said flatly, "Brother Xiao, I know him."

"You know Brother Xiao, why didn't I hear you say that?"

"You forgot that I am from Hong Kong. If you look through those newspapers and magazines, who doesn't know the Ding Group."

Ding Xiaoxi pursed his lips and smiled, and suffocated the cigarette in his hand, "Ah Hai said that you are a student of the University of Hong Kong."

Fang Ting was quite surprised by this statement, it wasn't that she judged people by their appearance, it was just that Xiaoman, who was wearing heavy makeup in front of her eyes, was really hard to associate with the students of the highest institution in Hong Kong.

Xiaoman lowered her eyes slightly, paused and said softly, "I'm not a student of the University of Hong Kong." As soon as she finished speaking, Ah Hai hurriedly continued, "It's all over, don't think about it."

At this time, he was very angry with himself, but after a few cups of yellow soup, he would think of something proudly and say something.

Seeing Ah Hai's uneasy expression, Xiaoman smiled lightly, and held him tightly with both hands, "You will say that those things are in the past, I'm fine, you're afraid that I won't be able to think about it"

Although she smiled gently, her big eyes still couldn't hide her sadness and resentment.

"Because something happened, I dropped out of school." And such an indifferent explanation made people even more curious.

But Ding Xiaoxie and Fang Ting are not gossips, they just smiled and did not ask further questions.

Looking at Fang Ting, Xiaoman said slightly apologetically, "I was in the bathroom just now, I'm sorry! Once the addiction comes, I can't help it no matter what."

"It doesn't matter!" Fang Ting replied with a chuckle, Xiaoman at this time, compared with the bathroom just now, is like two different people.

And she also felt that when Xiaoman looked at Ding Xiaoxie, there seemed to be some complicated emotions, and she couldn't help guessing that she might really know Ding Xiaoxie.But why, Ding Xiaoxie is so calm

"To be Brother Xiao's assistant, Ms. Fang must be very capable." Xiao Man may really appreciate it, but Fang Ting feels guilty.

So he said, "It's Mr. Ding who doesn't dislike me, so I have the opportunity to join Ding's family to help." Fang Ting can still speak on the scene.

It was only in Ding Xiaoxie's ears that he drank his glass of wine again. Such words may be fine for others, but for him, they are unnecessary.

At this moment, Ah Hai seemed to think of something, and asked, "Brother Xiao, is Uncle Qi settled?"

"It's okay." He said, but he didn't tell the truth, it wasn't that he didn't trust Ah Hai, it was just that he was tired of repeating those things, but Fang Ting thought that he deliberately didn't want to let herself know too much.

"The old guy is famous for being able to count. Except for Brother Xiao, he couldn't find a better partner for cooperation." Ah Hai smiled, picked up the wine glass, and seemed to congratulate, "Taiwan will soon be your world again. "

Ah Hai really worships Ding Xiaoxie, he is affectionate and righteous, not everyone who comes out to play like this.

What he said made Ding Xiaoxie smile, and jokingly said, "If your boss hears this, don't talk about your back."

Swallowing the spirits in his mouth boldly, Ah Hai smiled and replied, "My boss is busy with electing legislators recently, so I will go back to Taiwan to help tomorrow." After a pause, he continued, "Uncle Qi's sister-in-law is also elected this time, and he still seeks re-election. "

Ding Xiaoxie once heard Mr. Chen mention that, as Uncle Qi who went to Taiwan from Hong Kong, he was able to enjoy himself in Taiwan because he had a sister-in-law with a political background.

It's just that he never thought that it would be a legislator in Taiwan.

"However, according to my opinion, it's very difficult for his sister-in-law to be re-elected this time." Ah Hai said quite confidently.

"Why?" Ding Xiaoxie would ask this, not because he cared, but because he had other intentions.

"The ones who came out to fight with him this time are graduates from the Law Department of National Taiwan University. They have a good image and are better than those of us who come out to mess around, right?"

Listening to this, Fang Ting couldn't help but feel amused. Although she doesn't understand Taiwan politics, it's not surprising that even the underworld can supervise and govern the country.

But in Ding Xiaoxie's ears, there was a different interpretation, and an unfathomable smile piled up. He drank the glass of wine and had a plan in mind.

Originally, she could have a good future in life, and she could make her mother live a good life.

But all this, because of that person, will never be possible.

When Ah Hai returns to Taiwan, she still stays in Hong Kong, not because she is nostalgic for everything here, on the contrary, this is the last place she wants to set foot again.

But I still couldn't bear it, couldn't bear my mother being there alone.

In the past, studying and working part-time, I only wanted to improve my family's life, so I didn't have extra time to spend with my mother.

Now that she has money and time, she can no longer be by her side.

"Mom, I'm fine now. Ah Hai takes good care of me. We plan to open a small restaurant abroad later and live a simple life." She said while wiping the photo of her mother on the tombstone. The photos are even more desolate and sad.

It has only been more than half a year since I left Hong Kong, and the grave that has not been taken care of for a long time is already covered with dust.

I couldn't bear the sadness, but I didn't allow myself to cry, just because I didn't want my mother to see me sad.

A soft voice came from behind, so he turned around and looked.

"Miss Fang." The tone was light and indifferent. After all, in such a place, it seemed inappropriate to greet warmly, and of course it was not easy to say "such a coincidence".

Looking at each other silently, it was like looking in a mirror, the two beautiful faces were full of sorrowful thoughts.

When they left the cemetery, they should have gone their separate ways, but now they were sitting in a cafe.There are not many topics to talk about, so without waiting for a few words, we talked about the encounter in the cemetery.

Fang Ting lightly said to pay homage to grandpa, and Xiao Man didn't ask any more questions.The hand that picked up the cigarette case paused, but still put it down.

"Choosing the smoking area means I don't mind you smoking." Fang Ting's thoughtful words made Xiaoman smile back.

Wiping her Kodan-colored nails, the thin smoke is more pure white, and at the spark, wisps of smoke are floating upwards, Xiaoman looked at the smoke in her hand and said slowly, "I used to be very angry when I saw my mother smoking. People with lung cancer, but still can’t quit, even when the disease is lying on the bed, they still want to take a puff of cigarettes.” She said, holding the slender fingers lightly holding the cigarette, and then passed it to her lips again, exhaling a thin ball In the white mist, it seems that I also want to exhale the bitterness of my heart.

Fang Ting just looked at her quietly and listened to her.

"My mother used to say that when Miss Wu used to be, even if you didn't smoke, just smelling the smell of smoke every day was enough." She smiled when she said it, like a child who misses her mother. poignant.

"I was admitted to the University of Hong Kong that year, and my mother and I were very happy. I thought that after I graduated, I might be able to find a good job in Central. In the future, our mother and daughter will no longer be looked down upon by others, and we will no longer have to live a hard life."

"But all of this is still shattered." In the blink of an eye, the cigarette in her hand also suffocated.

Looking at her, her hatred and anger could be clearly seen in her eyes, but Fang Ting didn't ask, because she knew better than anyone else that every time she pulled the painful scar, it was torn fiercely.

"At least you are happy now, and I think my aunt will be happy too." She is willing to believe that Ah Hai really loves Xiaoman, perhaps because Ah Hai's words are very touching.

Thinking of this, Ding Xiaoxie's face actually appeared in her mind, making Fang Ting's heart throb slightly.

"Happiness, I don't know what happiness is anymore." When Xiaoman said, his expression was filled with hatred and sadness.

Fang Ting thought about asking or not, Xiaoman said first, "Ding Yixie, you are also your boss!"

The words Ding Yixie undoubtedly shocked Fang Ting.

Why did Xiaoman mention him.

Fang Ting nodded, "It doesn't really count, after all, I don't do things for him."

"Ding Yixie, even if he dies a hundred times, he won't relieve my hatred." After Xiaoman said this, Fang Ting probably guessed something.

No need to ask, I know what that scumbag Ding Yixie has done.

Otherwise, how could a good HKU student choose to drop out of school.

So Fang Ting only asked "Does Ah Hai know?" She hoped that Ah Hai would know.

"I didn't tell him that Hong Kong still has a surname of Ding. I don't want to harm Ah Hai."

It is undeniable that Fang Ting was disappointed!

If Ah Hai knew about it, he could use it.

"Don't mention this, you have to be careful when doing things under the Ding family. There is no one good in the Ding family." She changed her tone and said, "However, if you can be his assistant, I think you should also know his background , there was a single murder case before, although the Ding family was not prosecuted due to insufficient evidence, but no one on the road knows that their brothers did it. I heard from Ah Hai that one of the girls who was pushed downstairs had an affair with Ding Xiaoxie before. Too procrastinating."

Xiaoman continued with a slight sneer, "Ah Hai often said that Ding Xiaoxie is affectionate and righteous, but a person who can push down the stairs even if he has loved him is still some kind of bullshit affection. So you think, if Ah Hai kills Ding Yixie, will Ding Xiaoxie let us go?"

Xiaoman's words undoubtedly sprinkled salt on Fang Ting's wounds, she lowered her head slightly, her chest was filled with bitterness, even breathing was uncomfortable.

When facing Ding Xiaoxie, his heart was still cowardly crying and wanting to ask him why he was so cruel to himself.

Could it be that she once loved deeply, but in exchange for her to die?

"Are you okay?" Xiaoman asked softly, she looked at Fang Ting, her pale face was covered with tears.

Fang Ting was still anticipating, and finally said, "I am that girl."

Xiaoman was startled, her eyes widened, she couldn't believe it.

Whether to say "I'm sorry" or "I'm sorry," she had no idea.

He just stared at Fang Ting in a daze.

"Then you...how are you..." Xiaoman couldn't even say a word, just because she didn't understand that Fang Ting was staying by Ding Xiaoxie's side at the moment, maybe it was for revenge.

But she thought again, how to take revenge

According to the forces surnamed Ding, I am afraid that Ding Xiaoxie will not have to do it himself, and there will be no such person as Fang Ting in tomorrow's world.

"Wait for a chance."

Fang Ting said something simple, but Xiaoman admired it very much.

Looking at myself, I can't do anything.

Suddenly thinking, she asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

The two looked at each other, and it seemed that it was not difficult.
