Chapter 540 Half truth and half lie
With Chen An's instructions, Liang Shuang made special preparations according to his words. When he looked in the mirror in the morning, he saw himself in the mirror with a slightly pale face and dark circles under his eyes. He looked really pitiful.
In the cafe, the two ordered coffee and sat opposite each other, and no one took the initiative to speak.
Seeing Liang Shuang's expression, Chen Zhuo was secretly delighted, thinking that Liang Shuang had given in by asking him out, so he asked with appropriate concern, "Xiao Shuang, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"
"I'm doing fine, don't worry about me." Liang Shuang took out an envelope from his bag and pushed it in front of Chen Zhuo. "Here's 16,000 yuan. Check it out."
"Xiao Shuang, you know, these are not what I care about." Chen Zhuo explained with a frown.
Liang Shuang then took out two pieces of paper and said, "This is the compensation agreement, and this is the IOU. I will find a way to pay you back the remaining money slowly."
After taking the agreement and taking a look at it, Chen Zhuo's eyes flashed with a strange look. He did not rush to sign it, but looked at Liang Shuang with a look of great sorrow. "Xiao Shuang, I really didn't expect that the relationship I have worked hard to maintain for more than two years would be so fragile and unable to withstand any wind and rain."
Liang Shuang saw a flash of suspicion in Chen Zhuo's eyes and he began to talk to him emotionally, so he was basically convinced of Chen An's inference.
"The bubble of lies will burst if you poke it..." He stood up and was about to leave...
Chen Zhuo quickly reached out to stop Liang Shuang and asked in an irritated manner, "Do you hate me so much that you don't even want to talk to me?"
Liang Shuang laughed at himself and tugged at his collar, "Did you see this outfit?"
Chen Zhuo looked carefully and found nothing wrong. He couldn't help wondering, "What's wrong?"
Liang Shuang raised his head and exhaled, tilting his neck and explaining stubbornly, "This is the only thing in my closet that has nothing to do with you."
Seeing Liang Shuang's stubborn look while trying to hold back tears, Chen Zhuo was speechless for a moment...
Seeing Chen Zhuo's expression was basically the same as expected, Liang Shuang continued to show off his acting skills.
"I will return all the things you gave me before. Give me your new address and I will send it to you..." He covered his eyes with his fists, looking reluctant and sad.
Chen Zhuo put his hands on Liang Shuang's shoulders and explained anxiously, "Xiao Shuang, listen to me. Yang Yun and I are just arranged by our family. We don't live together. I still live in the house we originally lived in. There is your scent in it..."
"Really?" Liang Shuang's expression of surprise flashed away, and he pushed Chen Zhuo's hand away with a cold expression on his face, "These have nothing to do with me anymore."
Liang Shuang asked him out yesterday, and her performance just now made Chen Zhuo secretly happy. It turned out that this woman was only tough in words. How could two years of relationship be gone just like that? She was just being too stubborn.
"Xiao Shuang, there are so many people watching us, can we sit down first?" Chen Zhuo tried to slow down his tone and reached out to touch Liang Shuang's shoulder. Liang Shuang simply pushed his hand away and sat down on the seat, leaving half of the back of his head exposed to him.
Chen Zhuo was overjoyed. It seemed that if he tried hard, Liang Shuang might come back to him soon. He rubbed his hands, organized his words, and then spoke:
"Xiao Shuang, I know that my concealment of the truth from you has caused you great harm, but I didn't want this to happen. Our engagement was originally the idea of my family, and I didn't object to it."
"But then I met you. The first time I saw you, I had a special feeling. As we spent more time together, I felt more and more that this was my love. I have also been trying to find a way to solve this problem, but all of this takes time."
Then he pushed all the things on the table back and said, "These things are not important to me at all. I just want you to come back to me and have a chance to meet and explain things."
Liang Shuang turned her head with red eyes, stared at Chen Zhuo and asked, "You know, when I first found the ring, I was so happy that I couldn't wait to order a wedding dress."
"I thought I would give you a big surprise when I was done, but I didn't expect that I would face such a cruel fact. The man who had been with me for more than two years, who had cherished me and taken care of me, who said he loved me and wanted to marry me, was hugging another woman and imagining the future in front of me."
"You know, at that moment, my world collapsed. You destroyed it all with your own hands. Do you know that?"
Looking at Liang Shuang's expression of grief, anger, and hatred, Chen Zhuo's heart was deeply hurt. Putting himself in Liang Shuang's shoes, he could understand his indifference, but he would not give up.
"Xiao Shuang, I know, I understand all of this. I've been blaming myself these days. I was thinking if I had explained everything to you earlier, would it be better if we could face it together?"
Chen Zhuo rubbed his face and looked at Liang Shuang with sincerity. "I have asked myself countless times, but the answer I got was always the same, that is, I have to hide it from you. This is all because I care about you too much and I am afraid of losing you."
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so arrogant as to think that I could handle everything. I shouldn't have hidden it from you. But you can't deny everything I've done before just because of this, right?"
Looking at Chen Zhuo's appearance, Liang Shuang's heart was shaken for a moment, but he immediately threw the idea out of his mind.
Her self-esteem did not allow her to turn back, not to mention that she could not turn back now. Since the man had anticipated Chen Zhuo's reaction, Liang Shuang had no doubt that she would be miserable if she dared to play tricks on her.
Liang Shuang's face was bitter. He could only continue his performance and shook his head. "Chen Zhuo, let go. You should understand that the most important thing in a relationship between two people is trust. But now I really don't dare to believe you anymore."
"Thank you for taking care of me over the past two years and giving me the best memories of my youth..." Liang Shuang looked very conflicted, especially when he emphasized the word "memories".
Chen Zhuo knew what was bothering her. "Xiao Shuang, give me some time. Three months, just three months. I will definitely be able to resolve all of this. Okay?"
Liang Shuang raised his head and looked at Chen Zhuo. After more than ten seconds, he shook his head with a wry smile, "Chen Zhuo, are you sure you can do everything you said?"
Faced with Liang Shuang's question, Chen Zhuo hesitated for a moment. After all, if he made a boast at this time and failed to fulfill it, then there would be no room for redemption.
