Wu Hao waited until the waitress came out of Xu Wennuan's building before he started the car and slowly drove away.
After driving along the dark streets for a short while, a thunderstorm started, and visibility became extremely poor. Wu Hao was forced to slow down. After driving for more than 20 minutes, Wu Hao saw the A High School's gate in the distance through the swaying windshield wipers and the dense rain. Only then did he step on the brakes and stop the car by the roadside.
Holding an umbrella, Wu Hao stepped through the puddles of water and headed toward A High School.
Other than the school's entrance and field, which were still lit, the rest of the school was pitch-black.
He didn't enter the school. He just stood under a street lamp opposite the main entrance of the school. He lit a cigarette and stared at the school buildings. Many things from his youth flashed through his mind.
The first time he had seen Xu Wennuan, she had been by her side. Qin Zhi 'ai, who had shocked all the boys in the school with her pretty face, had been by her side. In comparison, Xu Wennuan's appearance had been inconspicuous, but her face had been etched in his heart. As a 17-year-old boy, he had dreamed of her at night.
Her final exams had come not long after he had gotten together with her. She hadn't been studying well, and she had been under a lot of pressure. Afraid that she would get scolded at home if she didn't do well, she had grumbled incessantly to him every day. That night, he had broken into the teacher's office and stolen the final exam papers. He had worked out the answers overnight and given them to her the next day.
After graduating from high school, he had gone to Shanghai and lived apart from her. Every month, he would return to Beijing to visit her and bring her gifts. All of the expenses were money he had earned from his part-time job.
After she had finished her college entrance exams, she had gone to Shanghai to look for him. When he had picked her up at the train station, his heart had been filled with gratitude, and he had sworn that he would be good to her for the rest of his life.
As they grew older, their love was no longer simple and sweet, which was a mixture of daily necessities. He had started to think about their future. The beginning of his business had been really tough. He had been unable to sleep in the middle of the night and had stood by the window smoking silently. When he had been extremely depressed from all the smoking, he had felt that everything had been worth it when he thought of her.
She really did have a place in his heart.
Regardless of whether it was the 10 years they had been in love or the three years they had been apart.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about hiding the truth and wasting time with her like this. One day, he would be able to move her.
But tonight, when he saw her in the bathroom of the bar, crying so sadly and in such despair, other than jealousy, he felt even more heartache.
In the business world, it was impossible for a person to climb from the bottom to where he was today without being ruthless. After all, Jiang Qianqian was the person who shared the same bed with him, and he could be so cold and heartless towards her, but he could not bring himself to be so ruthless towards Xu Wennuan.
It was just like when they were young and dating. It wasn't that she didn't take the initiative to tell him that she wanted to be his, but he couldn't bear to touch her. He always felt that she was still young, and touching her would be like sullying her.
When he had first used Jiang Qianqian to set up a trap, he had thought that he was determined enough to not give up until he had her.
A few days ago, he had seen Lu Bancheng sitting in a wheelchair with his own eyes. When he heard what Lu Bancheng had said, he felt ashamed, but he still had his own selfish motives.
But tonight, the despair and helplessness that she revealed easily swayed him.
