Chapter 1822: Come to See Him One Last Time
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Time passed like water. No one knew how many tears Ji Qingyan had shed nor how conflicted she was.
At night, the lights in Zhonghai had startedto on, and the pedestrians were in a hurry.
Humans’ sorrow, joy, love, and hatred were not interlinked. No one knew that there was a lonely soul hidden in this building.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Just as she was about to get back to work, there was another knock on the office door.
“Mr. Ji, two officers are looking for you.”
“Officer?”
Ji Qingyan was stunned for a moment. She had never interacted with anyone in
this circle, so why were they looking for her?
“Come in.”
The office door was pushed open and the secretary walked in with two people in military uniforms.
Ji Qingyan quickly stood up and welcomed the two of them to the sofa.
“We won’t be sitting,” one of them said. “We would like to ask, are you Madam
Ji Qingyan?”
“Iain.”
“We’re from the Zhonghai garrison. We’re here today to inform you of
something,” the military said.
“Mr. Lin is in Yanjing. He wants you to come over.”
“He wants me to come over?”
Ji Qingyan’s heart skipped a beat.
Lin Yi’s name was taboo to her. No one could mention it.
“Yes, I hope you can come over.”
Ji Qingyan shook her head lightly. “I have other matters to attend to. Let’s not
talk about it now. I don’t have time to go over.”
The two of them looked at each other. From the information they were given, the woman in front of them was Mr. Lin’s girlfriend.
Even if she did not say anything, she should not show such a cold attitude, right?
“Our orders are to bring you to Yanjing. We don’t know anything else and can’t tell you much.”
Ji Qingyan shook her head again. “I’m sorry. I really have a lot of things to do and can’t rush over. Besides, we’ve already broken up. There’s no need for you to look for me for anything regarding him.”
“Broke up…”
Upon hearing this news, the female secretary and the two officers were
extremely surprised.
This was something they had not expected.
“Alright then. Since you’re unwilling to go over, we won’t force you. Sorry to disturb you.”
“It’s alright. Thank you for your hard work.”
After the exchange, the female secretary sent the two of them out.
There was an off-road vehicle with black words on a white background parked downstairs of Chaoyang Group. Gao Chong sat in the passenger seat, rubbing his temples anxiously with a pained expression.
Originally, he wanted to go up, but in the end, he stayed in the car.
He and Mo Hongshan had been in charge of protecting Ji Qingyan for a long time, so they knew how much Lin Yi valued her.
However, after what had happened, he did not dare to face Ji Qingyan, so he simply sent his two comrades up.
At this moment, two officers walked out of the building and got into the car.
“Isn’t she in the office?”
Seeing that only two people had come out, Gao Chong asked.
“President Ji is in the company, but she’s unwilling to go.”
“Huh? She doesn’t want to go?”
Gao Chong didn’t have the habit of using TikTok, and the incident was quickly erased by the Liang Family. He didn’t know that Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu’s relationship had been exposed.
“President Ji said that the two of them have already broken up and this doesn’t
matter to her, so she won’t go.”
“Broke up…”
Upon hearing this news, Mo Hongshan was stunned for a while.
This was something he had never expected.
“Did you guys try to persuade her?”
“I tried to persuade her, but she didn’t balk at all. We could not say anything else.”
“Alright, since they’ve already broken up. There’s nothing else to say.”
“Brother Gao, do you want to go back to the garrison for dinner or eat outside?” “I’m not going anywhere. Send me to the airport. I’m going to Yanjing.” “Okay.”
Inside the office, Ji Qingyan stood on the rooftop. The cars below her were as tiny as ants.
From such a high position, it was impossible to distinguish the people and things below.
However, ever since the two of them left, Ji Qingyan had been standing there.
No one knew what she was looking at.
Wearily, Ji Qingyan sat on the sofa with her head lowered. Her long hair was scattered as it covered her beautiful face.
Her pain and inner turmoil had reached an unbearable level.
It felt as if even the air around her weighed a thousand pounds, making it hard to breathe and even suffocating.
As night deepened, darkness enveloped the entire Zhonghai.
This bustling city, with its ever-changing dynamics, revealed its vibrant and colorful side.
It was like a shy young girl shedding her innocence, transforming into a charming and graceful woman.
Amid the laughter and joy, the city offered everyone uninhibited pleasure.
But none of this mattered to Ji Qingyan.
Loneliness and helplessness made her feel out of place with the beautiful night, as if she were an unnecessary figure Photoshopped into the scene.
She felt out of place.
The lights in the Chaoyang Group building gradually dimmed as colleagues who had been working late left the company one by one, leaving only one light on the top floor.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
There was a knock on the office door as the secretary’s voice came from outside.
“President Ji, it’s already past eight in the evening. Are you working overtime?”
“I still have a few documents to finish. I’ll leave later.”
“But it’s already past eight. You haven’t eaten much all day. If this continues,
your body won’t be able to take it.”
“Don’t worry about me. It’s getting late. You should go back first.”
“President Ji, I bought something for you and put it at the door for you. Eat some or you’ll starve to death.”
Ji Qingyan did not respond. She did not want to say a word now.
She just wanted to be alone for a while.
The secretary sighed inwardly. She had been by Ji Qingyan’s side for many
years, but this was the first time she had seen her like this.
However, she had no choice. After what had happened, she could only slowly digest it herself. No one else could help.
Ring ring ring!
After an unknown period of time, her phone rang and broke the silence in the office.
It was as if a huge black curtain had been torn open without warning, pulling Ji
Qingyan back to reality. A world she was unwilling to face.
When she saw the number on her phone, she realized that it was He Yuanyuan.
She covered her face with her hands and declined the call.
She didn’t want to talk now, nor did she want to listen to anyone else.
She didn’t want to hear any sound. She just wanted to stay here quietly.
Trying to escape from this world in such a way.
The endless night could always drag her into her memories. She did not dare to go back, nor did she dare to think about it again.
She could only escape.
However, just as the call was declined, the phone rang again.
This time, Ji Qingyan did not decline. Instead, she picked up the call.
However, the sound of He Yuanyuan crying could be heard from the other side. “Senior Sister…”
He Yuanyuan was sobbing uncontrollably, as if the sky was falling.
Ji Qingyan panicked. She did not understand why He Yuanyuan was like this.
” What happened? Why are you crying?”
“You, need to come to Yanjing…”
He Yuanyuan cried even louder. “Come and see him one last time.”
