Chapter 619
An Sheng met his gaze for no more than two seconds before she quickly turned away and went to answer the phone.
She walked to the empty corner and picked up the phone.
Kang Muzhi said, "I heard you came over?"
An Sheng nodded. "Yes." Isn't it all because of the Prince Mansion Garden? "
"Yo, from your tone, it seems like you're a bit unwilling."
"Of course, I have to repeat the work that's already finished. If it were you, would you be willing to do it again?"
Kang Muzhi's mood was not affected at all, "Isn't it all your ex-boyfriend's fault? But it didn't matter. Just do it again. It's no big deal. I just talked to Hanshang on the phone.
An Sheng nodded. "Alright, I understand."
"After you finish your business. We'll eat together. "
"Alright, then I'll see you in a while."
An Sheng agreed readily.
In any case, everyone in the company already knew that the two of them were a couple, so there didn't seem to be anything to hide.
She turned around and was about to head back to the meeting room when she saw Xie Zhuo, who was more than ten meters away.
He was standing at the end of the corridor, watching her.
An Shengjiang put her phone in her pocket and walked forward.
When they passed by Xie Zhuo, Xie Zhuo said, "Let's talk."
An Sheng halted her steps and said calmly, "The meeting is about to begin."
"I know, but I... I need to talk to you. I'm serious. "
Seeing his sad expression, An Sheng hesitated for a moment before she turned around and walked to the corner where she had just called him.
It was relatively quiet here.
Xie Zhuo also walked over.
"I heard what you said in the meeting room just now. Why did everyone say I was wrong and you still want to help me?"
An Sheng shrugged her shoulders. "I didn't help you. I was just analyzing it intuitively. You don't seem to have any reason to give up on this project, because it would only be harmful to you but not beneficial."
Xie Zhuo nodded. "Thank you."
"Thank me? "Thank me for what?" An Sheng said indifferently, "I already told you, I did not help you."
"This project, which I painstakingly painted all night long, was overturned and rebuilt over and over again after countless modifications, and it was finally designed. It was just like my child, I didn't want to give it up at all, but... I had no choice. "
"What is it that has put you in such a dilemma?" An Sheng thought so. Since he was able to speak of the knot in his heart, it could be said that he was asking her for help.
Even if it was a stranger, she would help him, not to mention that this person was Xie Zhuo.
It was someone she had hurt.
"It's because of you, it's because of your brother."
"My brother looked for you?" An Sheng was surprised for a moment. Only then did she remember that Ling Guansheng was the one who arranged for Xie Zhuo to enter Hua Hai.
"You leave the company. It can't be that my brother forced you to do this, right? "
Xie Zhuo looked at An Sheng with affection.
"An Sheng, will you be happy?"
An Sheng didn't know why Xie Zhuo suddenly changed the topic. She said unhappily, "I'm asking you, did my brother force you to leave the company?"
On the contrary, Xie Zhuo smiled in relief, "You should be happy. After all, the person you are marrying is not the ordinary Xie Zhuo, but Director Kang, who can shield you from the elements. Your choice is right."
"Xie Zhuo ??"
Xie Zhuo pursed his lips, "Can you tell me the truth?"
An Sheng didn't say anything.
Xie Zhuo said, "Is it really just because I didn't agree to your father's request?"
"What's the point of asking now?"
"I just want to know if the inferiority complex I felt back then, because of my poverty and my lack of courage, is the straw that broke my love."
An Sheng took a deep breath. "Tell me first, is your leaving this project related to my brother?"
Xie Zhuo no longer hid anything, "Yes, he forced me to leave."
"My brother ??" He always knew that he wasn't my blood brother, so he didn't treat me as his sister. This was also the reason why he kept stopping me from falling in love with you all those years ago. He threatened to destroy you if I stayed with you. That's why I decided to leave you. I know very well that you are no match for him, and I do not wish for myself to destroy you. That's why I used that method to harm you and leave you. "
Hearing this, Xie Zhuo was on the verge of collapse.
He calmly took two steps back and leaned against the wall.
It turned out that he had lost her due to incompetence.
Indeed, with his poverty. What could he use to contend against Ling Guansheng?
He overestimated himself. He knew he had nothing. He also disregarded his own conditions and fell in love with a woman he was not qualified to love.
He looked at An Sheng and shook his head.
Looking at his expression, An Sheng felt guilty.
"Xie Zhuo ??"
"An Sheng," Xie Zhuo interrupted her.
An Sheng nodded. "Speak first."
"When I fell in love with you, I didn't think that marriage was a matter for two families. I just thought that my whole world was very bright when I saw you. I pursued you because I wanted to be near the light. In those years with you, I was truly very happy. Thank you for giving me such a beautiful and happy time. "
Xie Zhuo lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at her again.
"But, I'm too weak. I clearly love you, yet I am unable to create the condition to live forever with you. I can only helplessly watch as you walk further and further away from me because of my incompetence. All these years, I've been working hard to let you know that I'm making changes for you.
However, I, who was born at the bottom of society, ca
ot drag down those who were born in heaven, no matter how hard I try. Maybe you'd think I was being a bit negative. But I did my best, An Sheng, to be with you. I really did my best, you understand? "
An Sheng nodded, not knowing what to say.
"That day, Ling Guansheng came to find me. He said you went astray. Your whole family is worried about you. They know that I still love you, so they asked me if I'd like to put you back on the right track and be with you from now on.
I thought... I finally welcomed the biggest turning point in my life. I was even willing to give up everything I've worked so hard for so long to listen to Ling Guansheng's arrangements, but ?? Hehe, that's too fu
y. He's actually just using me. "
As Xie Zhuo said this, his face also became more serious.
An Sheng said, "Sorry."
"You shouldn't say sorry because the person who did the wrong thing wasn't you, and I will never blame you because I don't have the qualifications to blame you. I lost you because I wasn't good enough myself."
"Xie Zhuo, I know about your hard work. I'm really happy for you that you can become the outstanding you of now."
Xie Zhuo looked at her and said sadly, "I have another question to ask you."
"Ask me."
"If... I mean, if you didn't meet Director Kang and Ling Guansheng didn't stop us, you... Will you marry me? "
