Chapter 157
"Then what do I need to do?" Jiang Mengyao could hear the hatred in Jiang Chujing''s tone through the
phone. She thought she was already vicious enough, but she didn''t expect that Jiang Chujing was even
worse.
Especially after hearing about her n, Jiang Mengyao grew excited. Thinking of what might happen to
Shu Tian, she sensed a burst offort. "Don''t worry. I promise toplete the task you gave me, as
long as you can do what you promised."
Jiang Chujing smiled with satisfaction. "You can check your ount. I''ve just paid a deposit. As long as
you do what you have to do, I promise to send you abroad safely."
"Okay, it''s a deal." After Jiang Mengyao finished speaking, she sensed that the phone was about to
hang up, so she said hurriedly, "But I''m curious how you can do such a thing when you''re not supposed
to show up."
"It''s none of your business." After that, Jiang Chujing hung up the phone rudely.
And then Jiang Mengyao immediately essed the inquiry system. She was wanted by the police, and
all her bank cards and ounts that could be traded were suspended, but the money was transferred
to an online virtual ount.
Seeing the amount shown in the system, she was finally relieved. Jiang Chujing did not lie to her and
really gave her the agreed sum of money.
If it was done, Jiang Mengyao might be able to get out of these troubles as soon as possible. Thinking
of this, she raised her head and looked around at the crude environment. She then secretly clenched
her fists. Screwed Li Han or marrying into a rich family! The only thing she wanted now was to go
abroad with the money safely. Being wanted by the police, she had been lived a frightened life.
Fortunately, now that there was finally a chance to realize her wishes, she would not let it slide!
[...]
After Li Han''s parents left, although Shu Tian took a big blow, fortunately, she and Li Han finally made
up with each other. Even though they did not continue to avoid dealing with each other, he still came
backte from time to time and even sometimes did note back until early in the morning.
She felt empty and uneasy, but when she thought of what he had said before, she chose to believe
him.
One day after work, she received a call from Fu Qingtong. They were nning to have dinner at a
western restaurant next to the HY Law Office. She then called Li Han and told him where she was, and
thetter said he would pick her up after dinner.
When she arrived at the restaurant, she saw Fu Qingtong sitting in the seat and looking out the window
at the night scene. She then walked over lightly and patted Fu Qingtong on the shoulder, saying, "What

are you thinking?"
She had thought that Fu Qingtong would jump up in a startle and scold her, but unexpectedly, she met
a pair of red and swollen eyes.
Shocked, she asked, "What''s wrong?"
Yet Fu Qingtong pursed her lips and chuckled. "Nothing. Have a seat."
The waiter pulled out a chair for her. Shu Tian then sat down and looked straight at the woman
opposite her.
Being ufortable with her gaze, Fu Qingtong picked up the cup beside the table and took a sip of
water. "Don''t look at me like that, okay? I''ve already ordered the meal. You look like you''re going to eat
me up..."
With her eyes glued at Fu Qingtong''s face, Shu Tian looked at her carefully and found that not only was
her friend''s eyes swollen, but so was her face. It looked like she had cried for a long time.
With a jolt in the heart, Shu Tian asked again, "What''s wrong?"
Fu Qingtong then put down the cup in her hand and looked down at the table, just to hide the sadness
and sadness in her eyes.
As she raised her head again, she put on her usual smile. "I''ve made a decision these two days."
"What decision?"
"Didn''t I always say that I wanted to study abroad? Now I have a chance to do so. My father''spany
has a ce for further education. I volunteered." While speaking, Fu Qingtong blinked her eyes
countless times, as if it was the only way to ease the panic in her heart.
Hearing this, Shu Tian frowned. "I thought you don''t want to go to your family''spany? Why did you
suddenly change your mind?"
"Well, it''s better not waste such a good opportunity. Instead of giving it to the others, I might as well
take it myself." Fu Qingtong added water for herself as she spoke. When the waiter saw it and was
about to help, yet she signalled with hand that she was fine.
Everything seemed normal, but her trembling hands revealed the nervousness in her heart.
Shu Tian grabbed the ss in her hand and said in a serious voice, "Did you go abroad because of Ji
Chuanyi?"
Ji Chuanyi.
After hearing that, Fu Qingtong bit her lip. Ever since that night, his name was deeply etched in her
brain, and she could not forget it.
She did not speak and sat quietly. For the first time in her life, her head drooped so low. Seeing her sad
face, Shu Tian felt a pang of bitterness.
"Tong, you..."
"Don''t!" Fu Qingtong interrupted her anxiously, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Don''tfort me.
I''m fine, really."
Watching that her friend tried her best to hold back the grievance, Shu Tian felt sorry for her. And she
med herself. If they hadn''t been drunk that night, if she had stopped her friend, perhaps things
wouldn''t be so bad.
Yet Ji Chuanyi was right. Since they were adults, having sex meant nothing. But Fu Qingtong was not
as open-minded and indifferent as she appeared. Deep down, she had always been a conservative girl
who kept her integrity.
But that night, it was just an ident.
During the dinner, both of them were depressed. And Fu Qingtong pretended to be rxed, which
made Shu Tian unable to bear to watch it anymore. Before they paid the bill and left, Shu Tian held her
hand. "Tong, no matter what happens, as long as you need me, I will be by your side."
Soon, Fu Qingtong''s eyes turned red again and she then smiled. "I know. It''s so cold. Just go in. I''m
leaving."
After saying that, she did not dare to stay for a moment. She immediately turned around. With her back
to Shu Tian, her face was instantly covered with tears.
Shu Tian watched her get into the car and leave. She stood at the entrance of the hotel and sighed.
After taking out her phone and looking at the time, she found that it was already the appointed time with
Li Han, but he hadn''t arrived yet.
Just as she was thinking about whether to call to urge him, he called her first.
Thinking he was here, she picked it up as she walked out. "Where are you?"
"I''m sorry, Tian. I can''t pick you up. Just wait a minute, I''ll ask the driver to pick you up." His slightly
impatient voice came from the phone.
Astonished, she stopped in her tracks. Looking around at the cold streets and the snow on the
branches that had not melted, she shivered coldly and thought for a few seconds. She then smiled
bitterly, swallowing all the me andints back and pretending to be considerate. "It''s okay. If
you have something urgent to do, just go back to your work. Tong hasn''t left yet. I''ll just ask her to give
me a ride home. There''s no need for the driver toe over."
"You go back yourself?"
"Yes." She couldn''t wait to hang up the phone. "Tong needs me now. I''ll talk to you when I get home
After she hurriedly hung up the phone, the smile on her face seemed to be frozen by the cold wind. It
took her a long time toe back to her sense. She held the phone in both hands and pressed it
against her chest. But when she turned around and walked back, she saw a familiar figure.
The woman happened to be standing at the entrance of the hotel. She was dressed in all ck, which
was out of ce in the festive decorations near the new year.
It was Jiang Mengyao.
With a cold face, Shu Tian then turned her gaze away quickly. She did not want to meet Jiang
Mengyao''s eyes.
Yet just as she turned around and returned to the hotel, her arm was grabbed. Jiang Mengyao said,
"Are you in such a hurry to leave? As old friends, we haven''t seen each other for so long. Shouldn''t we
catch up a little?"
