Chapter 362 Wrinkled Slightly
Finally, Xiaodang walked into the cafe, wearing simple and generous clothes, her eyes were deep and calm, like a mature woman who had experienced many twists and turns. Jia Dongxu stood up and greeted her with a smile, trying to show a hint of ease and confidence on his face.
"Xiaodang, thank you for coming to see me." His voice revealed sincerity and apology.
Xiao Dang sat down and faced Jia Dongxu, with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his eyes. "Dongxu, what are we meeting to discuss?"
Jia Dongxu swallowed and tried to make his tone calm and honest. "I know you've been in a bad mood recently. I want to talk to you about... about me and Lao Jiang."
Xiaodang's expression became serious, she didn't say anything, just stared at Jia Dongxu silently. She wanted to hear his explanation and attitude, to see if he understood her feelings and pain.
Jia Dongxu continued: "I know this incident has caused you a lot of harm, and I feel very sorry and guilty. I don't know how to explain it to you, but I hope you can listen to me."
The atmosphere between them became solemn, and the surrounding cafe seemed to be still. Jia Dongxu's words flowed out slowly, and every word was filled with his inner sincerity and regret.
The next morning, Xiao Dang got up early, still filled with doubts and pain from last night. She sat on the bed, looking out the window at the dim morning light, trying to sort out her thoughts. She couldn't accept Lao Jiang's cheating, and she remembered the incredible scene that followed her home last night.
She felt angry and disappointed, but more than that, she was incomprehensible about being betrayed by someone she trusted. Deep down, she felt that she had been fooled for many years and now had to face this cruel reality.
Suddenly, she heard a voice coming from the living room, as if someone was talking to Lao Jiang. She hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to get up and see what was going on. Xiao Dang quietly walked to the door of the living room and heard Lao Jiang mumbling in a low voice.
"Xiao Dang is making a big deal out of nothing. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Why can't she understand..."
Hearing this, Xiaodang's anger immediately rose. She could not tolerate Lao Jiang's contempt for her and his self-righteous attitude. She resolutely walked into the living room and stared at Lao Jiang with cold eyes.
Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Xiao Dang's expression, his face changed slightly. "Xiao Dang, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Dang suppressed his inner anger and said in a cold but firm tone: "I already know what happened last night, you don't have to pretend anymore."
Lao Jiang's expression became awkward and uneasy. He tried to explain: "Xiao Dang, I... I have nothing to explain about this matter. I know I was wrong."
Xiao Dang's voice was filled with sadness and despair: "Wrong? Lao Jiang, this is not a momentary mistake, but your betrayal and deception to me for many years. I don't know why you did this, but I can't continue to be with you."
Lao Jiang tried to get closer to her, to explain or comfort her, but she ruthlessly dodged his hand. "Don't say anything more, Lao Jiang, everything between us ends here." Her voice was low and firm, and her eyes were full of determination and pain.
Lao Jiang was silent for a moment, and finally turned around and left the apartment without saying a word. He knew that no matter how much he explained and tried to keep her, it was meaningless. His betrayal had already made him lose her trust and friendship.
Xiaodang stood in the middle of the living room, watching Lao Jiang's back gradually go away, the pain and loss in her heart were beyond words. She felt as if she was in a dream, everything happened too suddenly and too unbelievably.
However, she knows that this is reality and the truth she has to face. She needs time to heal, and needs to re-examine and adjust her life. Deep in her heart, the definition of friendship and trust has been redefined, and she has learned how to protect herself and how to come out of pain.
A few hours later, Su Ming received a text message from Xiao Dang: "I have resolved the problem with Lao Jiang, thank you for your support. I decided to stay in Beijing for a while, we can meet."
Su Ming felt relieved when he saw the text message. He knew Xiao Dang needed time to calm down and re-examine her life. He decided to respect her decision and give her enough space and support.
So he responded: "I understand, you can always come to me. I hope you can recover soon, and I will always be here to support you."
On the other side of the city, Jia Dongxu received the news that Xiao Dang had solved the problem, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that although their friendship might never return to the purity of the past, at least he had taken responsibility for his actions and tried his best to make up for the mistakes he had made.
He decided to give Xiaodang some time to calm down and adjust. Perhaps, in the future, they could re-establish a new relationship, be more mature and cherish each other's friendship.
Lou Xiao'e is an old friend of Xiao Dang. The two have known each other since college and have a deep friendship and trust with each other. She is a smart and decisive woman who now works as a senior editor at a well-known media company, responsible for several important program projects.
Early in the morning, Lou Xiao'e came to Xiaodang's apartment and found that she looked a little tired and heavy. Xiaodang greeted her warmly and invited her to sit in the living room.
"Xiaodang, how have you been recently?" Lou Xiao'e asked with concern. She noticed that Xiaodang looked a little lonely, and he had obviously experienced some unpleasant things.
Xiao Dang took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "Lou Xiao'e, something happened to me recently that bothered me." She simply told him about the conflict and breakup between her and Lao Jiang.
Lou Xiao'e frowned slightly, obviously surprised and worried by the news. "Really? Lao Jiang has been my friend for so many years, I never thought he would..." She was slightly angry in her words, expressing her dissatisfaction with Lao Jiang's behavior.
Xiao Dang shook his head, looking tired: "Yeah, I didn't expect it either. But this incident made me re-examine a lot of things, and I think I need some time to deal with my emotions."
Lou Xiao'e silently held Xiaodang's hand, indicating her understanding and support. "Don't be sad, Xiaodang, you have to believe that time will heal everything. But what is the matter you mentioned about cooperating with Su Ming?"
Xiao Dang raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination and expectation. "Yes, Su Ming and I talked a lot last night. He has an innovative idea about the network platform. He hopes that I can join his team and work together to turn this idea into reality."
