Chapter 63: Betrayal (Part One)

  Wang Mingyu and Nie Sisi drove all the way, but they could only know the general direction. Both of them were basically visiting Shanghai for the first time. Wang Mingyu had been to Shanghai in his previous life, but the difference was too great. The current Shanghai and the future Shanghai were vastly different, and none of the roads matched or connected, so the two could only ask people along the way, fortunately, they were able to ask out a general location!

  Nie Sisi basically knew nothing, and Wang Mingyu thought she was so familiar with Shanghai. It turned out that she just had a classmate in Shanghai. If he had known earlier, he would have found someone familiar with Shanghai from Ningbo, and it wouldn't have been so troublesome.

  Compared with others, "Shen Bao" is still relatively easy to find, after all, it has a certain influence in Shanghai.

  Nie Sisi didn't know where her classmate was specifically, she just followed Wang Mingyu, and there was no specific contact information. At that time, she impulsively wanted to follow him to Shanghai, but she didn't know what she was thinking. After arriving, she knew nothing, not even the specific work unit, only knowing that it seemed to be working in the concession area. This made Wang Mingyu very frustrated. If they met Sun Xue later, how would they deal with it? People without experience are so helpless.

  Under the guidance of passersby, Wang Mingyu's car soon arrived at the headquarters of Shen Bao, which was a two-story small building.

  Because Sun Xue is likely to be on duty at the customs declaration, Wang Mingyu should have just taken a look, but time was too tight, and even though his home was so close, he only went back twice. What about rushing all the way to Shanghai? The training for this stage has already been very routine, and the system is quite mature. Whether he is there or not makes no difference, as long as there are no special tasks, basically, he is not needed anymore.

  It's been a long time since we last contacted each other, and I don't even know if she's really in Shenzhen. What if I didn't pass the exam? Wouldn't that be a waste of time? I was also confused myself and didn't ask about it. If I hadn't gone to Nie SiSi's house, I probably wouldn't have thought of visiting my girlfriend either. It's really irresponsible of me.

  The jeep stopped in front of the gate, Wang Mingyu smiled and looked at the entrance, hoping that the next person to appear would be his girlfriend Sun Xue. His two hands tightly grasped the steering wheel, from his facial expression and actions, it can be seen that Wang Mingyu was still a bit nervous at this time.

  Nie Sisi found Wang Mingyu's behavior very amusing, as if he had never been in love before. As someone who had already experienced romance, Nie Sisi naturally couldn't help but look down on Wang Mingyu's current display.

  Actually, Wang Mingyu had never been in love before. In his past life, he didn't have time for it, and in this life, as a young master, he hadn't truly experienced romance either. Of course, Nie Sisi wouldn't believe that Wang Mingyu had never been in love - his reputation in Ningbo was too loud to ignore. Although those were just casual flings, Nie Sisi thought that without emotions between men and women, even casual relationships couldn't work out.

  Wang Mingyu anxiously gazed at the door, while Nie Sisi was smiling as she looked at Wang Mingyu. The two of them remained silent, and Wang Mingyu felt Nie Sisi's strange gaze on him, so he smiled back at her before turning his attention to the door again. After a while, sure enough, Sun Xue emerged wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a long skirt, walking slowly out. Nie Sisi also knew Sun Xue, and upon seeing her come out, Wang Mingyu's excited smile and eager demeanor made Nie Sisi feel very uncomfortable in her heart, though she didn't know why she felt that way - it just wasn't right.

  Nie Sisi was thinking, "This beautiful woman is still here, can't you behave less anxiously?" Just as Wang Mingyu was about to get off the bus, a scene that left Nie Sisi speechless appeared. A young man holding a bouquet of flowers handed them to Sun Xue, who smiled and then got into a sedan with the man, leaving just like that.

  This dramatic scene not only left Wang Mingyu stunned on the spot, but also made Nie Sisi's mouth form an "O" shape in surprise, as if time had frozen at this moment. Wang Mingyu opened the car door, and was unable to get out or stay inside, his face suddenly darkening, losing face greatly, the woman had been snatched away by someone else.

  Of course, Mianzi is small, he doesn't understand, very not understanding. If Sun Xue doesn't like him, why is she still with him? But what I'm seeing now clearly tells me that Sun Xue and this person have a leg up on each other. Nie Sisi's expression on her face was very rich, wanting to speak but didn't know how, actually she also had no experience.

  After a while, Nie Sisi whispered to Wang Mingyu: "Let's follow up and take a look, maybe it's a misunderstanding!" Even she herself didn't believe that this matter was a misunderstanding, but when advising others, one still had to advise.

  Wang Mingyu silently started the car and followed the one in front, after about ten minutes, that car stopped at the entrance of a coffee shop. The 1930s Shanghai coffee house was far from being as luxurious as it is now, but at that time it was already very high-end, and he saw two people walking in hand in hand.

  Sun Xue was holding the man's hand at this moment, following him in, everything seemed so natural. But to Wang Mingyu's eyes, everything seemed so suffocating, with a feeling of fragmentation in his heart, a kind of depression that ordinary people couldn't feel, as if there was a breath stuck in his chest, with no way to vent it out.

  Nie Sisi looked at Wang Mingyu, whose eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and her heart also trembled. Such a gaze was really too terrifying. Nie Sisi wanted to tell Wang Mingyu rationally that this wasn't the time to act impulsively, but she didn't dare. She could only watch as Wang Mingyu's hand grasping the steering wheel grew tighter and tighter.

  Wang Mingyu felt Nie Sisi's gaze and suddenly smiled, saying: "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive." In fact, Wang Mingyu was not angry at Sun Xue's betrayal, but rather that Sun Xue had done such a thing without telling him. Although he knew he hadn't come to see Sun Xue, and Sun Xue couldn't find him, this was an extreme lack of trust - did she think Wang Mingyu wouldn't come to see her? Wang Mingyu had almost quit smoking since coming to this era, but now he bought two packs of cigarettes and a box of matches from the small vendor he had just passed by, lit one silently, and gazed quietly at the restaurant.

  Nie Sisi heard Wang Mingyu's words, and at the same time as she let out a sigh of relief, she felt that the current atmosphere was becoming more and more oppressive, and it might explode at any moment. Looking at Wang Mingyu's resolute face and expressionless face, Nie Sisi had a faint feeling of heartache in her heart.

  Two people sat silently, watching the two people laughing and chatting in the restaurant. From time to time, the man would pick up some dishes for Sun Xue to eat. Seeing Sun Xue's smile, Wang Mingyu suddenly felt that he shouldn't have come to Shanghai. Originally, Wang Mingyu wanted to bring Sun Xue back to show his father, knowing that his father wouldn't have any prejudices. But now everything feels like a fleeting dream, everything is so unreal. In his heart, Wang Mingyu could only sigh: "First loves are all bitter, who the hell said this? It's really true!"

  Nie Sisi touched Wang Mingyu's hand and said: "Don't smoke anymore, you've already smoked a lot."

  Wang Mingyu looked at Nie Sisi and then spat out a mouthful of smoke, saying: "Do you think I'm ridiculous?"

  Nie Sisi shook her head and said: "No, I think you're pitiful!"

  Wang Mingyu shook his head with a wry smile: "Pitiful? I don't think so. Eight or nine out of ten things in life are not as one wishes, what belongs to you today may not belong to you tomorrow."

  Niesi smiled and said, "Oh my, you're the great Wang Dashi of Ningbo City, yet you still can't let go of something like this? I don't believe it, is it because you feel embarrassed? You were seen by me doing these things!"

  Wang Mingyu stared at Nie Sisi and slowly said, "This is the first time I've liked a girl!", then silently thought to himself "The first girl I've ever liked in two lifetimes! What a failure..."

  Nie Sisi's words were half true and half false. She could feel Wang Mingyu's inner pain, but she also felt that with Wang Mingyu's personality, it shouldn't be like this, and didn't rule out the possibility of losing face, so she said it in that way. However, after hearing Wang Mingyu's previous words, Nie Sisi finally understood that the current Wang Mingyu was no longer the Wang Mingyu from a few years ago. From the moment he left her house, that Wang Mingyu had changed, becoming very sincere. Who would have thought that a person could change so quickly and thoroughly? What Nie Sisi couldn't accept in the end was Wang Mingyu's past behavior.

  Although it's hard to change one's opinion of someone, Wang Mingyu sincerely said that he liked a girl for the first time, but Nie Sisi couldn't get angry no matter what. She even had a faint sense of envy towards that girl, because deep down, she and Wang Mingyu were engaged, which was an indisputable fact. A man changing for a woman made that woman happy, Nie Sisi thought, and Wang Mingyu changed for Sun Xue.

  Wang Mingyu tidied up his clothes and said, "When the sky is going to rain and the daughter is going to get married, such things can't be forced. I'll go ask clearly later, then I think I'll head back to Ningbo directly. If you want to play here, I can stay with you for two days, but after two days, I must return to Ningbo, there are still things in the troops!"

  "Alright, I'll do as you say. If you want to stay and play for a couple of days, that's fine too. If you want to leave, I'll accompany you back. Your current state really doesn't put my mind at ease. And isn't it ironic? You kept telling my dad that you'd take care of me, but now it seems like the situation has reversed."

  Wang Mingyu said irritably: "Do I need you to take care of me? I stayed behind just to take care of you, afraid that as a girl in Shanghai you would be bullied by others. Otherwise, I would have gone back directly!"

  Nie Sisi suddenly said happily: "Alright, alright, I'll just play for two days and then go back, is that okay?"

  The two of them chatted for a while, and at this time Sun Xue and the man had finished eating and were walking out. Wang Mingyu gestured to Nie Sisi to stay in the car, then slowly walked towards the entrance of the restaurant.
