Chapter 207 – No Need to Say Thank You

Hearing Lin Hao’s words Zi Shan’s eyebrows raised, ”Why would Jiang Tao put our relationship in unknown danger? Your words are very hard for me to understand – even if what you said is true, but I don’t have any male or female feelings for Jiang Tao, if that’s what you’re referring to, I think we can stop talking about it, not having trust is exhausting, I really don’t want to live too much more.”

Lin Hao immediately shook his head, “Don’t misunderstand, Zi Shan, I trust you.” He, however, didn’t go on.

Zi Shan looked at him, “If it’s not because of this, then what is it because of? You have to give me an explanation, otherwise I can only assume that you are the bad guy and Jiang Tao is the one who is persecuted by you. How to say, you deal with Jiang Tao’s means are not bright and open, there is another point I must make clear, Jiang Tao is just my friend, so there are some things I don’t have to know he also don’t have to explain, because the two people can’t get along if it is natural to be estranged, but you are a different, you are my boyfriend you have to explain clearly.”

“I won’t go on with a man I have doubts about, Lin Hao, not even if we’re old classmates, you’re giving me strange feelings – I don’t care about Jiang Tao’s affairs, but I care about yours! Do you understand?” She looked at Lin Hao’s face carefully, trying to find an answer on his face, “Why?”

Jiang Tao’s mom is Jiang Tao’s father’s mistress and so on, he is also just Zi Shan’s friend, and he is a good person – Zi Shan and he is a friend, but not and his mom is a friend, friends, of course, do not have to ask too much, as long as we can help each other, good character can be good for people. But boyfriends, husbands are different, that is a lifelong companion, of course, the requirements should be raised a lot of a lot, so, Zixan is not at all attracted by the matter of Jiang Tao’s mom is a mistress, she is more concerned about Lin Hao’s character.

The process of experiencing too much is of course extremely painful, but that experience pushes one to grow, that’s why Zi Shan reacted the way she did. If she was still the Zi Shan of the old days, she probably wouldn’t have cared about Lin Hao but would have been surprised that Jiang Tao’s mom was a mistress, and then that would have been it – she wouldn’t have cut off Jiang Tao because of that, because Jiang Tao himself is a friend worth making friends with, and what his mom is has nothing to do with it.

Lin Hao open-mouthed stammers do not know how to answer, do not dare to speak carelessly, for fear that Zi Shan will guess what in his words, so he anxiously out of a head of sweat, because a long time do not answer will also let Zi Shan suspicion, he today against Jiang Tao is not want to let Zi Shan shaken trust in him, but do not want to finally moved a stone to their own feet, counterproductive, but instead of letting Zi Shan on him to generate great suspicion.

Zishan narrowed her eyes, “Is it possible that Jiang Tao knows something, well, or you don’t want me to know, you’re afraid that he will say to me?” Already not far from the truth, this is more let Lin Hao heart alarmed, but even his head did not dare to raise afraid to let Zi Shan in his face to get the answer, do lawyers for so long, really the first time to be forced to such a lousy.

“Things in the firm.” Jiang Tao finally stepped into the ward, but the essence is not as good as just now, also do not see him have anger, but as a dying old man as all over the body with the flavor of the years will end: “Our firm to pick a person to become a partner, and I and Lin Hao became a competitor.”

“Of course his hopes are a bit higher than mine, but he doesn’t have as much money as I do.” He pulled the corner of his mouth in self-deprecation, “It’s because I have a rich old man. Lin Hao asked me to borrow money and I agreed, but I then I regretted it, and when I went out for a drink with my coworkers I drank a few too many and said some nonsense – I don’t even remember what I said, I don’t know what those people and Lin Hao said, and in any case, we had a misunderstanding.”

Zishan looked at Jiang Tao: “You mean, it’s still you who did the wrong thing first.” She didn’t ask Jiang Tao why he backtracked and didn’t lend Lin Hao any more money, the money thing of course depends on the host family’s mind, people want to borrow if they don’t want to borrow if they don’t want to borrow, it’s not wrong how to do it, and she, as Lin Hao’s girlfriend, was really inconvenient to ask after that one sentence.

She now just have a kind of absurd feeling, how all think everything in front of them is too false, Jiang Tao why also on behalf of Lin Hao to say good words, he does not remember hate Lin Hao? Jiang Tao this person is the true nature, or another heart or too deep city? In a flash, Jiang Tao also made her unintelligible.

Lin Hao is also very surprised, did not think that Jiang Tao will be on his behalf to solve the problem, although the explanation is a bit far-fetched, but from Jiang Tao’s mouth than from his mouth more can make Zi Shan believe, he is now most concerned about not Zi Shan and Jiang Tao’s relationship, but Zi Shan on how he feels, he really do not want to miss Zi Shan once again.

Seeing the surprise on Lin Hao’s face, Zi Shan did trust Jiang Tao’s words a little more, “Is it really that simple?” It was still really hard for her to believe, originally she guessed that things might be related to Lin Hao’s family, or even Lin Hao having other women, but she didn’t think that things were just because of the two men’s career prospects.

However, for the career-oriented two big men, because the future of the feud is also very normal, every day in the Blue Water City do not know how many times will be staged between the colleagues of the antagonism, Jiang Tao and Lin Hao’s career to the time should be another layer of time, the firm absorbed a person to become a partner, is really a good opportunity for their career to take off.

Jiang Tao nodded: “It’s that simple. I’m leaving.” After he finished, he swept a glance at Zi Shan, there were too many complicated things in his hurried glance, making Zi Shan’s heart shy – Jiang Tao cared a lot about his mother’s identity as a mistress, and because of being revealed, he developed an inferiority complex, the original Jiang Tao did not have the word inferiority complex in his body.

“Be careful on the road, will remember to bring me dinner at night, right? If Fatty is free remember to drag him here, there are many people eating lively ah.” Zishan sighed softly in her heart, although she was a little uncomfortable with Jiang Tao’s mother’s junior status, she still knew that Jiang Tao was innocent, that’s why she opened her mouth to tell Jiang Tao that she didn’t care.

Jiang Tao looked up with some surprise, then gently nodded his head in Zi Shan’s calm gaze, and said nothing more as he walked out the door, this time, he really walked away, only his back was indescribably heavy as he walked away.

Zi Shan closed her eyes: ”I’m tired. You call the caregiver elder sister back, it’s getting late, you should go back to work too.” She thought she should be quiet for a while and was also really tired and wanted to sleep for a while.

Lin Hao was a little anxious when he saw the coldness on Zi Shan’s face, “Zi Shan, listen to me ……”

“Don’t say anything today, okay? I’m tired and want to sleep for a while, and also we should be quiet for a while and then talk about it is better isn’t it?” Zixan opened her eyes to look at him and closed them again, “Today we are not calm, talk will not be able to talk about anything, maybe instead produce more harm. You should know that I also cherish our relationship.”

She couldn’t talk to Lin Hao right now because there were still doubts in her heart, she didn’t know exactly what they were, but her heart just wouldn’t go back to its original position, it always seemed like there was something that carried her heart high, making it impossible for her to do so with peace of mind.

After getting angry, she didn’t think that what she said was her intention, so she really wanted to be quiet for a while, so that she could have a good talk with Lin Hao – about their future.

Seeing Zi Shan’s look, Lin Hao knew that it was impossible for her to change her decision, and looking at his watch, it was really time to leave, so he stood up, “Zi Shan, I’ve done some things a little more hastily, a little more excessively, I know, but that’s really because I care about you. I love you, Zixan.” He straightened Zixan’s covers before heading for the door.

He left after finding the caregiver, and Zi Shan in the hospital room didn’t open her eyes again, and wondered if she was asleep.

There at the front door of the hospitalization building, Jiang Tao’s back looked so lonely, even if there were more people at the door, Lin Hao still saw him at the first glance, Lin Hao wasn’t a bit surprised and walked over to stand beside Jiang Tao, “I don’t think I need to say thank you, because it’s not me you’re doing it for, a former good friend and good brother.”

“You should also know about Zi Shan’s health, how can you ……” Jiang Tao’s words still had a point of anger in them, but it quickly disappeared as he sighed long and hard, “You said it, are you happy? ” He took a deep look at Lin Hao and walked towards the parking lot without saying another word to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao looked at Jiang Tao’s back silently stand for a moment also long sigh, distantly followed Jiang Tao’s back toward the parking lot, the sun pulled the two of their shadows a long, long time, but there is no point of intersection anymore. He knew that he had personally buried his years of friendship with Jiang Tao, and there was no possibility of repair.

However, he had no choice. Close his eyes, Lin Hao walked to his car and opened the door, sat in the car or could not help but sigh, he missed the happiness in front of the eyes, can not afford to have anyone to destroy, whether it is intentional or unintentional.

Jiang Tao crouched on the steering wheel, for a long time before he lifted his body to start the car, very blankly looking ahead but simply do not know where the direction is – later, how is he going to appear in front of Zi Shan, how to appear in front of Chu Xiang and their face? Shouldn’t he consider leaving Blue Water City, to a place where no one would know his secret, not having to live in everyone’s strange gaze.

He knew he hadn’t done anything wrong, but his mother had done wrong, even though her mother had died many years ago, but her mistake had carried over to him, laid bare in front of the world to tell all those in the know – her mother had indeed done something wrong back then, and he was the hard evidence of that.

Jiang Tao can not get rid of this brand from birth, can only choose to go far away from home but still can not escape, in the future, what is he going to do? Escape of course is not a solution, but he does not escape and what can be done, he is no longer a solution is not a fairy, can not change his origin.

He was destined to have no relationship with Zixan, not only because Lin Hao had loved Zixan for more than ten years – he had backed off when Lin Hao had not yet confessed his love for her, because he knew that there was one thing about him that would make Zixan mindful of him, that he didn’t deserve to give Zixan happiness – it was too ironic, and Zixan couldn’t accept it. could possibly accept it.
