In Zhong Hai, nightlife had already begun. On a street full of bars, neon lights teased people's nerves and stimulated the hormones of young men and women.
Under the bright purple and red light, the crowd was bustling with activity. Peddlers selling cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks were everywhere.
In a small, smoky bar, there weren't as many customers as in the other big bars on the street, but there were already several tables full of customers drinking heartily.
However, at this moment, many of the customers and waiters in the bar were looking in one direction. It was a woman who looked exceptionally quiet.
The woman wore a light gray sweater, a black scarf, and tight trousers. She looked neat and elegant. A head of black, soft, and shiny hair hung down to her waist. The side profile of her face could be vaguely seen. Her delicate skin looked like a crystal jade carving under the light.
That enchanting temperament was like a fairy who didn't eat the food of the mortal world. However, she appeared in this inharmonious and dirty place.
The woman was sitting at the bar counter. She ordered a glass of whiskey and slowly sipped it. She seemed to have something on her mind and drank very slowly.
About a few minutes later, another beautiful figure that did not match the small bar walked into the bar.
However, this time, it was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was filled with mature charm. Her hair was tied up in a noble manner, and she wore a black and red winter dress. The material was luxurious, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was expensive.
Such a beautiful young lady would come to such a place? This caused the regular customers of the small bar to be somewhat surprised.
It seemed that the appearance of these two women had added a bit of beauty to the entire bar.
Very quickly, the young woman found the long-haired woman sitting at the bar counter. She revealed a soul-stirring smile, quietly walked over, and sat beside the woman.
"Give me a glass of whiskey as well. Just like her, thank you."
The waiter was a young man who had just arrived. Facing the woman in front of him who had a completely different demeanor, but was also as beautiful as a dream, his expression was unnaturally nervous. He immediately nodded vigorously, "Yes, Miss."
From beginning to end, the long-haired woman didn't even look at the charming young woman beside her. It was as if she was immersed in her own world, and everything had nothing to do with her.
The beautiful woman drank half of the whiskey, pursed her plump red lips, and turned to the woman beside her. She smiled curiously and said, "Lin Ruoxi, I never knew that you would be interested in coming to a place like this."
"How did you know I was here?" Lin Ruoxi turned her face slightly, and her watery eyes rippled as she looked at Tang Wan.
"Please …" This is Zhong Hai, and I've been here for almost twenty years. Every street and every building has been imprinted in my mind.
To put it bluntly, when you were still a little kid in kindergarten, still studying in middle school with braids, and a little hipster in university, I was already one of the few people at the top of the pyramid in this city. It was a piece of cake for me to find someone here. "
Lin Ruoxi frowned. Tang Wan was saying that she was still very young in front of her. She couldn't help but say, "Your words are really annoying."
"Anyway, you've never thought that I was good, so I have no reason to make you happy." Tang Wan joked, "What are you doing here? Is it because you quarreled with Yang Cheng, so you came here to get drunk? You don't seem like that kind of woman. "
Lin Ruoxi was silent for a while, and her eyes revealed a bit of reminiscence. Sometimes she was smiling, and sometimes she was sad.
"This … is the place where I first met him." Lin Ruoxi said lightly.
This bar was the bar that she accidentally entered because of Lin Kun's matter, the company's matter, and Xu Zhihong's matter. All kinds of troubles were mixed together, and she was in pain.
She didn't have many memories of that night because she was too muddle-headed and in so much pain that she wanted to die.
She had tried countless times to recall why she had chosen this bar, but she couldn't remember the reason. She only felt that it was preordained by the heavens.
She also didn't know which bar was good and which was bad, but fortunately, she didn't go to other bars. Otherwise, she might have already walked on a path of no return.
Tang Wan was stunned for a while, and deliberately teased, "I really thought that you wanted to divorce him, so I came here happily to see you make a fool of yourself. But since you came to this place, I'm afraid that divorce is just a casual talk. Since you miss him so much, it seems like there's no hope of divorce."
Lin Ruoxi knew that Tang Wan was joking, so she didn't get angry. She just calmly said, "You guessed wrong. I came here not because I miss him, but because I want to cut off my past with him.
From this small bar, we came together, and now I came here for the last time to say goodbye to him.
I don't have any nostalgia for him anymore. He is not suitable for me, and I am not suitable for him. Our divorce is just a legal process. "
Tang Wan's smile froze on her face, and her eyes revealed a rare confusion.
"I've always thought that I could guess your thoughts, but this time, I can't seem to see through you … Lin Ruoxi, you're not really going to divorce me, are you?"
"Why not?" Lin Ruoxi asked.
Tang Wan shook her head and sighed, "I always thought that you are a smart woman. You should know better than anyone that you can't make Yang Cheng love you wholeheartedly. You can become his only wife, which is enough to make us jealous. Why do you have to go to the extreme?
Do you really think that you are the most special one? Don't be silly, if it wasn't because the woman Yang Cheng loves the most is you, do you think that the Yang Family will let you, the daughter of Ning Guangyao, be their daughter-in-law? Do you really think that in the eyes of Aunt Guo, you are really the most suitable daughter-in-law candidate?
Maybe you don't care about this, but … "
"Enough!" Lin Ruoxi interrupted Tang Wan's words, and asked with a faint smile, "Didn't you always want me to move my seat away? Now that I am going to divorce him, won't you have a better chance?"
Tang Wan was a little angry, "You don't have to joke with me like this, I have long given up hope for love. His appearance is already a miracle, I am already very satisfied now, and I don't have any extravagant hopes.
I just hope that the man I like can be happy, and not leave behind painful regrets. If another woman was in your position today, I would also advise her like this. "
Lin Ruoxi was silent, and said sourly, "Now that you put it like this, it seems that I am indeed the most insensible one."
"Do you have any difficulties? I really can't understand such a simple truth, how can you not understand it, you are not such an impulsive woman. "Tang Wan couldn't help but ask.
Lin Ruoxi's expression was a little complicated, and after a long time, she let out a relieved smile, "This time, you are really wrong, I don't have any difficulties, but there is one thing that I really can't bear."
"Is it about Lanlan?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded, and said with tears in her eyes, "Not only Lanlan, if Lanlan was born with any of you, I can accept it. But, Lanlan was born to Seventeen.
As long as I see Lanlan, it is as if that woman also appears in front of me. Tell me, even if she passes away forever, deep in Yang Cheng's heart, he will still love her the most. As long as Lanlan is at home, Yang Cheng will never forget Seventeen.
Do you know, the way he looks at Lanlan, it is so gentle, so cherishing, so deeply regretful, and because of that, it is as if blood is flowing out of my heart, and I can't stop it no matter what … "
Tang Wan didn't know much about Seventeen, but she also knew that it was that woman who made Yang Cheng disheartened and return to Hua Xia.
"Lin Ruoxi, you are so willing to lose to a woman who is already dead?" Tang Wan asked.
"Heh," Lin Ruoxi chuckled, and revealed a trace of helplessness, "She is dead, but she will forever live in that man's heart. I lost completely."
Tang Wan stared at the woman, as if it was her first time seeing her, and her eyes were a little blurred, "I realized that this time, I really can't see through you."
"In that case, I've won this time," Lin Ruoxi said coldly. She raised her head and downed the whiskey in one gulp. She exhaled, put down a red bill, and turned to walk out of the bar.
But at this moment, a burly man in a dark green coat with a buzz cut and two companions blocked Lin Ruoxi's way with an evil smile on his face.
