Chapter 2540 Bai Ji Breaks Down and Cries

Chapter 2540

Haijing ate with great relish.

All of this seemed so natural, as if it were something an old married couple often did.

There was no intention to put on a show on Hai Jing's face; it seemed that he was always like this, and everything he did was very relaxed and natural.

At this moment, Qiao Ya also took the initiative to put a few of Hai Jing's favorite dishes into his bowl.

Haijing smiled and said thank you, then naturally ate it.

At this moment, there was no room for anyone else between the two of them. It was as if they were the only people in the world where they ate, and they only had eyes for each other.

When Bai Ji saw this scene, she felt extremely sad and unconsciously scratched her head.

She didn't realize that she was picking at Li Xu. Li Xu naturally knew about the relationship between Bai Ji and Hai Jing. They were all in the Beijing circle, so everyone knew each other.

Seeing Bai Ji angrily gazing at the sea view and interacting with other women, the expression on her face was clearly both sour and bitter.

Li Xu was consumed by jealousy and coldly rebuked him, "That's enough, stop embarrassing me here."

He wanted to warn Bai Ji, but Bai Ji only had eyes for the sea view and Qiao Ya at the moment and didn't notice what Li Xu said at all.

Li Xu said a few words, but when Bai Ji ignored him, he got angry and slammed his hand on the table.

He raised his hand and slapped Bai Ji across the face.

The crisp sound of the slap shocked everyone present once again, and everyone turned to look at them.

Bai Ji also covered her face in disbelief and looked at him, her eyes red as she said:

"Why did you hit me?"

Li Xu said, "Didn't you hear me talking to you? Your eyes are practically glued to that other person. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"how?"

"You looked down on her back then and took the initiative to break off the engagement. Now that she's changed, do you want to rush over to her again?"

How could you be so shameless?

Li Xu's words were merciless, and Bai Ji's face turned extremely ugly.

With red eyes, she turned to look at the sea view.

At this moment, Haijing completely ignored her and continued to focus on serving food to Qiaoya.

Li Ping really spared no expense on this banquet today, including a red-spotted fish.

This kind of fish is very hard to find in Yanjing now, and Li Ping had to go to great lengths to get it.

This fish has very delicious flesh. Although it doesn't have many small bones, there are still some short bones extending from the fins and bones.

At that moment, Haijing was removing the fish bones from her. After cleaning all the bones, she put the fish meat in Qiaoya's bowl, and Qiaoya ate it obediently.

Their interactions were incredibly sweet and charming.

He couldn't tolerate anyone else at all; even when Bai Ji was beaten up, Hai Jing didn't even glance at her.

This disregard was like the sharpest knife, piercing Baiji's heart.

Her body swayed, and she seemed about to collapse.

Seeing her like this, Li Xu felt a little regretful; he had lost his temper and couldn't help but lash out earlier.

But thinking about it carefully, all of them were her classmates, and what he did made Bai Ji very embarrassed.

Although he regretted it, he wouldn't say it.

He stiffened his neck and tried to save face, saying, "Was what I just said right? Do you know you were wrong?"

"Apologize to me now, and I can let bygones be bygones."

Bai Ji sniffed and said, "I know, but I did nothing wrong, and I won't apologize to you."

Li Xu looked at her in surprise, and Bai Ji said, "I want a divorce."

After saying that, he picked up his bag, turned around, and left.

She ran out of the house without glancing at the sea view again.

She ran out of the room, and the moment the door closed, she squatted down against the wall and burst into tears.

She thought that no matter how good or bad the relationship between a man and a woman was, it would be the same after marriage.

Even if her parents were in love when they were young, haven't they been arguing constantly over the years?

But today, when she saw Haijing and Qiao Ya spending time together, she suddenly realized that perhaps the relationship between men and women is not like that, it's just that the people around her don't love her enough.

Even her parents never had eyes only for each other like Hai Jing, nor did they take such meticulous care of each other.

At that moment, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

So it was at this moment that she made up her mind to get a divorce.

Why shouldn't she deserve such love? Why should she have to compromise for the sake of her family and spend her whole life with that kind of man?

The matter of Baiji was just a minor incident, and Haijing didn't take it to heart at all. When they returned after dinner, Qiao Ya asked in a low voice:

"Is that woman named Bai Ji your ex-fiancée?"

Hai Jing hummed in agreement. He had already told Qiao Ya when he came, so what did Qiao Ya mean by asking again now?

Do you want to pick a fight with him?

Hai Jing said cautiously, "I have nothing to do with her anymore, and I never loved her."

Hai Jing nodded: "I understand. I just feel sorry for that girl. Seeing us being all lovey-dovey, I think she was about to cry."

"As a result, she was slapped twice by her husband."

Hai Jing smiled and pinched her nose, saying:

"I only have eyes for you, so I didn't care about them at all. What do I care what they are like?"

He originally wanted to come here today to get to know his friends.

Catching up with friends.

This way you can expand your network and connections, but once you arrive, you realize that these people aren't worth it.

Even if people like Li Ping and Li Xu are rich and powerful, so what? They're not even in the same league or on the same level as him.

It's not that the other party isn't rich enough, but rather that their character and his are simply not on the same level.

Hai Jing was too impatient to waste words with them. If those people were like Jiang Wan or Li Chengze, he would be willing to humbly learn from them or even lower himself to befriend them.

Unfortunately, none of them deserve it!

Turning back to Hong Kong, after Qiao Zhendong's negotiations with Jiang Wan broke down, he started borrowing money everywhere.

The first person to call the governor said, "Could you lend me the money I gave you temporarily?"

"As long as I fill this hole in the Qiao family's coffers, once Old Master Qiao stops interfering in this matter, or once our subsequent plans are completed, I will return the money to you after I get the Qiao family's money. I can even give you interest, high interest is fine!"

Qiao Zhendong is practically begging for money right now. He'd do anything to help someone fill this hole.

Selling oneself is not out of the question.

After he finished speaking, the governor coldly replied:

"I can't help you. I've already spent that money elsewhere."

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with this. You should look for someone else."

After speaking, I hung up.

When Qiao Zhendong heard the busy tone on the other end of the phone, he felt like the sky had fallen.
