Chapter 421 But do I have a choice?
Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.
In the live broadcast room, Shen Sangning had given Li Jiaqi enough face and did not point out the matter...
I just told her the matter in private.
But there is no wall that is impenetrable, and the news eventually got out.
Li Jiaqi had just arrived at the company today when he noticed someone chirping at him and even pointing at him.
Her heart suddenly sank, and the feeling of discomfort followed her like a shadow. She subconsciously quickened her pace, wanting to escape from this suffocating atmosphere.
When I walked into the office, my colleagues seemed to be busy with their work, but there was a strange look in their eyes from time to time.
Li Jiaqi tried to focus on the work at hand, but the trivial discussions seemed to be pervasive and kept drilling into her ears.
"Have you heard? Li Jiaqi was cheated...by several men..."
"Oh, I never thought that this would happen to her."
"What's unexpected? I've known for a long time that she's not a good person. She's always dreaming of turning a wild chicken into a phoenix..."
Li Jiaqi's hand tightly grasped the mouse, and her knuckles turned white from the force. She felt angry and wronged. She was clearly the victim, but she had to endure these groundless accusations and speculations.
During lunch, her colleagues who used to eat together deliberately avoided her, as if she was a plague.
Li Jiaqi sat alone in the corner, not enjoying her food. At this time, a colleague who usually had a good relationship with her came over, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down and said, "Jiaqi, don't pay too much attention to what those people say, they just like to spread rumors."
Li Jiaqi forced a smile and said, "Thank you, I understand."
After returning home, Li Jiaqi collapsed on the sofa exhausted, staring blankly at the ceiling, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably again.
Everything she experienced that day kept replaying in her mind like a nightmare. The gossip and strange looks from her colleagues were like sharp blades, piercing her heart.
"It's all because of my vanity that I ended up like this." Li Jiaqi murmured to herself, full of regret. She remembered that she had ignored the truly important things in pursuit of those illusory things, and now she paid such a painful price.
Li Jiaqi tossed and turned that night, unable to fall asleep. When the first rays of sunlight shone into the room in the morning, Li Jiaqi finally made a decision - to resign, leave this city full of painful memories, and start her life again.
She sat at her desk, turned on her computer, and wrote her resignation letter carefully. Then, she began to sort out her belongings, each of which carried memories of the past, some of which were happy, but more of which were bitter.
On the day she went through the resignation procedures, Li Jiaqi tried to remain calm and resolute. Facing the curious or sympathetic eyes of her colleagues, she just raised her head slightly to prevent her tears from falling again.
After leaving the company, Li Jiaqi didn't stay for too long and bought a ticket to another city. Sitting in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window that kept receding, she felt very complicated. There was the pain of saying goodbye to the past, and the confusion and expectation for the future.
Everything in the new city was unfamiliar. Li Jiaqi rented a simple little house and started looking for a job again. She was no longer ambitious like before, but down-to-earth and took every opportunity seriously.
Every night when it was quiet, Li Jiaqi would reflect on her past mistakes. She understood that vanity would only make people lose their way, and only sincerity and hard work could win real respect and happiness.
In her new job, Li Jiaqi worked hard and learned with an open mind. She no longer cared about other people's opinions, but focused on improving herself. Gradually, her work improved and she made some sincere friends.
Although the shadow of the past still comes to mind from time to time, Li Jiaqi no longer avoids it.
She knew that this was the price of her growth and the only way for her to be reborn.
However, God did not let him go.
Li Jiaqi's menstruation is very regular every month, but this month it didn't come when the due date came.
She went to the supermarket to buy a test strip, and the result was two bars.
She doesn't even know who the father of the child will be...
On the other side, Shen Sangning welcomed the first lucky tourist of the day, a seventeen-year-old girl.
The girl has a sweet look. Her two dimples look charming, and her two small canine teeth make her look beautiful when she smiles.
"Hello, Master Shen!" The girl stretched out her hand excitedly.
Shen Sangning also stretched out her hand, shook it, and said, "What do you need to calculate?"
The girl's expression darkened, and she forced out a smile: "Master Shen, let me think about how long I can live, and how I will leave this world..."
Hearing this, Shen Sangning was stunned.
She looked at the girl carefully and couldn't help but frown slightly: "In your situation... do you want to go?"
The girl shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I don't want to..."
"But do I have a choice?"
