Chapter 370 The song ends and everyone disperses
Zhenni's face darkened instantly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, with a hint of joking in her words: "Maybe some people are disappointed. The one who came is not the good wife he has been thinking about, but the enemy he has been avoiding."

Liu Zhiye smiled awkwardly and touched the back of his head unconsciously. To people who knew him well, this action undoubtedly revealed that he was subtly guilty.

He did have a sense of guilt deep in his heart. Recalling the last time he was hospitalized, Jenny went to the hospital to visit him many times, regardless of the rumors from the outside world.

Even a fool could see the deep affection of Zhenni. Her appearance made Liu Zhiye's family nervous, fearing that he would make a mistake due to his momentary confusion.

For this reason, Liu Zhiye's behavior is somewhat regrettable. After he was discharged from the hospital, in order to avoid Gan Ning's suspicion, he dared not to frequently interact with Zhen Ni and took the initiative to cut off contact between the two.

Today is the first time the two of them have met since then, and the atmosphere is subtle and awkward.

"How could it be... I'm also very happy that you can come to visit me today, hehe..."

"Truthfully?" Jenny asked with raised eyebrows.

She stared into Liu Zhiye's eyes with burning gaze, her emotions were complicated, resentment and love were intertwined, and it was difficult to distinguish in her expression.

Liu Zhiye felt guilty when she looked at him. He didn't dare to look directly at Zhenni's eyes. He said insincerely, "Haha, of course! Let's go, let me take you around our beautiful campus."

Seeing this, Jenny glared at him fiercely, then she was the first to step out of the reception room.

The two of them walked one after the other, neither of them spoke, and they just strolled aimlessly around the campus, freely visiting every corner.

"Why don't you say anything? Why don't you ask me why I suddenly came to you?" Zhen Ni stopped suddenly, turned to face him, with a hint of anger in her words.

Liu Zhiye opened his lips slightly, but was speechless for a moment, thinking secretly in his heart. With his intelligence, how could he not understand the deep meaning of Zhenni's sudden visit?
Especially at this critical juncture, precisely because he knew it very well, he deliberately avoided discussing this topic with Jenny.

Li Huaide is Li Huaide and the Zhen family is the Zhen family. The boundary between the two is clear, and he doesn't want to involve the relationship between him and Zhen Ni.

"Alas!" Liu Zhiye could only sigh and squeeze out these powerful words: "I can only say that I act honestly and have a clear conscience. Do you believe it?"

Zhen Ni sneered, her words sharp: "What a clear conscience! Even if Li Huaide is suffering the consequences of his own actions, what about me? Where should I be placed? Have you ever considered my situation?"

"I'm going to be thirty this year, an old girl. I've loved you since I was a teenager, but you kept me waiting until today, and what did you get in the end? You and my family turned against each other? Have you ever considered my feelings?"

Liu Zhiye whispered sadly: "Zhen Ni, I'm sorry! This is absolutely not my intention. You don't know that I was forced by the situation. Li Huaide is too bullying. I really have no choice but to do this..."

"I know I'm sorry for you. If there is an afterlife, I will never..."

"It was because I felt deeply guilty towards you that I adopted an almost indulgent attitude towards Li Huaide.

Over the years, he has gained countless benefits from me, which you may not know. He tried to go further, and I helped him invisibly.

In the end, he tried to kill me for a lover, which is really chilling."

Jenny was not aware of these things. This was the first time she heard about the past.

She once thought that Li Huaide and Liu Zhiye had a very close relationship, but she never expected that Li Huaide would be such a worthless person.

Is Liu Zhiye wrong?

He was not wrong, he was just fighting back in a legitimate way.

Thus, the relationship between Jenny Tseng and Liu Zhiye came to an end.

Even if they have a chance to be together in the future, the attitude of the Zhen family has become an insurmountable gap between them. With the resentment of the Zhen family towards Liu Zhiye, they will never give in easily.

Zhen Ni had completely given up the idea at this moment. She recalled the old man's decisive words: "From now on, you must break up with the man named Liu, otherwise, I will not show mercy to his men!" His words revealed unquestionable ruthlessness.

Faced with the ultimatum from her family, Jenny knew it was time to put an end to this relationship. Liu Zhiye, after all, could not give up his family, and choosing to spend the rest of his life with her was just a luxury.

Furthermore, if the two continue to entangle, it will inevitably lead to more serious consequences. Once the old man's anger is ignited, Liu Zhiye will definitely not be able to bear it now. Therefore, this relationship may have to end here.

Thinking of this, Zhen Ni burst into tears.

Fortunately, they quietly came to a corner of the campus - the lotus pond, and Jenny's mood suddenly brightened.

Otherwise, her crying expression would definitely bring a lot of rumors to Liu Zhiye.

At this moment, there are no outsiders passing by here, it is quiet and undisturbed, with only the breeze and the fragrance of lotus remaining as companions.

It is midsummer, and the lotus flowers in the pond are blooming, with lotus leaves overlapping one another. This is dancing for the day and night, singing for the season, and the fragrance of lotus fills the pond. It is a good time on earth.

"The little lotus has just shown its pointed tip, and a dragonfly has already landed on it." The delicate lotus buds are about to bloom, and the green dragonflies are dancing happily, and the vitality and vigor of summer are overwhelming.

Zhenni gazed at the beautiful scenery in front of her, and her mood suddenly brightened. She turned her back to Liu Zhiye, focused her eyes on the lotus pond, and chanted softly: "Green lotus covers the clear water, and lotus reflects the red sun." This scene is like a touch of elegance in an ink painting, and like the fresh fragrance of the morning after the rain, quiet and charming, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Zhenni gently wiped away the tears on her face, took a deep breath, and said to Zhiye with a choked but firm voice: "Zhiye, I came here today to say goodbye to you. After this farewell, we may never meet again, so I hope you will take care of yourself!"

Liu Zhiye blurted out: "Where are you going?"

Zhenni shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Just go with the flow. Zhiye, I'm leaving. Before I leave, I have only one piece of advice for you - be careful with my father."

"He already knows what happened between us! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let them know... woo woo..." Before she could finish her words, Jenny turned around and ran away, tears streaming down her cheeks, sobbing as she ran.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhiye's expression froze for a moment, and then he shouted anxiously: "Zhen Ni! Please wait a moment..." He quickly chased after her for a few steps, but finally stopped and gave up the idea of ​​continuing the chase.

What would it matter if he caught up with her? He couldn't give Jenny any substantial promises after all. She had wasted her youth over the years. To continue to pester her would only increase her pain. It was time to let go and let the past be the past.

Liu Zhiye suddenly realized that Zhen Ni's visit today was actually a farewell trip, and it also had a deeper meaning, suggesting that he should be wary of possible revenge from her family.

For a moment, Liu Zhiye stood there in a daze, feeling disappointed. Thinking back to the more than ten years they had spent together, every bit of his efforts seemed to be incomparable to the deep affection and friendship that Jenny had for him.

He was the first to betray the fate between them and this good woman.

Finally, Liu Zhiye sighed, "Alas..." and then walked back like a zombie.

"Old Liu!"

"Hey! Didn't Xiao Liu go to play basketball?"

Along the way, people kept greeting him, but he ignored them all, as if he had lost his soul.

"Shh! What happened to him?"

"I don't know! Did something happen in his family?" The people behind Liu Zhiye whispered.

Liu Zhiye's face at this moment was full of loss and confusion, which was in stark contrast to his previous image of sunshine and passion. He was like two completely different people.

…………

The new office building of Liujiazhuang Sub-district Office stands tall, with a total of six floors and an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters. It is an administrative hub that was just completed and officially put into use this year.

This office building, in terms of appearance and size alone, has surpassed the office conditions of many units in Beijing and is particularly magnificent. It not only carries the daily operations of the Liujiazhuang Sub-district Office, but also becomes a beautiful landscape in the area, attracting attention.

Gan Ning is the deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Liujiazhuang Sub-district Office, and his office is quietly located on the third floor.

The warmth of the lunch break had not yet faded away, but Gan Ning had quietly walked into the office and quickly immersed herself in her intense work.

This year marks the second year that Liujiazhuang Sub-district Office has been on the right track. Party-building work is regarded as a core task by the Sub-district Office and occupies a pivotal position.

Because of this, the superiors fully supported the decision to transfer Gan Ning to Liujiazhuang, and promoted her one level out of turn to deputy secretary of the Party Committee, holding a deputy-division-level leadership position.

The leader of Liujiazhuang is still the highly respected third uncle Liu Yuanhai. He holds the important task of being a deputy director-level leader and has been crowned again as a member of the National People's Congress. He also has a seat in the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and his influence is evident.

Fang Qianjin, director of the Party Working Committee of Liujiazhuang Sub-district Office, is a cadre newly transferred from his superiors to work here. He rarely interferes in specific affairs on weekdays.

Therefore, no matter whether it is trivial matters or major decisions in Liujiazhuang, the final decision is still made by core members such as Secretary Liu Yuanhai. They are the real helmsmen of this land.

In addition to Liu Yuanhai, Fang Qianjin and Gan Ning, another giant in Liujiazhuang is Liu Fusheng, who is the deputy director, armed minister and militia commander (deputy division level). In addition, Zhou Weiguo, Liu Zhiye's former capable general, is now the director of the police station of Liujiazhuang Sub-district Office and concurrently a member of the Party Committee of Liujiazhuang Office. His administrative level is also deputy division level, showing his extraordinary career achievements.

In addition, important positions in the street office, such as the chief financial officer, director of the Women's Federation, member of the Discipline Inspection Commission, chairman of the trade union, and director of the Education Committee, are all held by people from the original Liujiazhuang.

It can be said that today's Liujiazhuang presents a complex appearance that is both open and closed.

To some people outside who are interested, this place is like an iron wall that no water can get in, and it exudes an indescribable sense of isolation.

No matter who you are, as long as you stay in Liujiazhuang for a long time, you will be assimilated by the people here and become one of them, otherwise you will not be able to stay here at all.

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell..."

"Hello! Is this Secretary Gan? I'm the security guard Liu Yuande!"

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Oh! It's Fourth Uncle! What's the matter with you, Mr.?"

The doorman Liu Yuande reported succinctly: "Secretary Gan, a female comrade is visiting. Excuse me, should I take her up to see you directly, or..."

When Gan Ning heard that someone was visiting, and it was a woman, she couldn't help but feel curious. She asked directly, "Fourth Uncle, what is the name of this female comrade?"

Liu Yuande replied: "She said her name is Zhenni!"

Gan Ning thought to herself, "It's her. What exactly is her purpose in coming here?"

"Are you here for Zhiye?"

Liu Yuande, who was on the opposite side, saw that Gan Ning was silent for a long time without any response, so he spoke again and called out twice: "Secretary Gan? Secretary Gan?" There was a barely perceptible urgency in his voice.

Gan Ning was obviously distracted just now, "Oh...oh, please ask her to come to my office!"

"Okay, Secretary Gan!"

Shortly after hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Gan Ning responded briefly, then stood up and walked lightly to the door, ready to welcome the visitor.

When the door opened, it was indeed Jenny.

Zhenni smiled slightly and said, "Are you surprised to see me?"

Gan Ning remained calm and responded in a calm tone: "It is indeed a bit unexpected. Please come in and let's talk in detail."

Jenny twitched the corner of her mouth, put her hands behind her back and walked into the office without any hesitation.

"Hey, your office is decorated very stylishly!"

"Wow! You can actually see the Yongding River from here. Wow, the green mountains are in the distance, and the green water is far away. Being in it, you must feel particularly relaxed, right?"

Gan Ning didn't understand Zhen Ni's intention, so she decided to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

"Yes, it's good. It's much better than when I was in the city!"

"What do you want to drink? I have green tea, black tea, and soda here. They are made in our own factory and taste just as good as the soda from Arctic Ocean."

"Want to try it?"

Zhen Ni turned around, stared into Gan Ning's eyes and said with a smile: "Really? Then I'd like to try it."

Gan Ning nodded slightly at her, then took out two bottles of soda from the cabinet, unscrewed the caps skillfully, handed one to Zhen Ni, and said briefly and enthusiastically: "This is orange flavored, I like it very much, you should try it too!"

Zhen Ni sat down, took a sip of soda, and smiled faintly: "It's really not bad, I also like it very much. I find that we have similar interests and preferences, don't you think so?"

Gan Ning frowned slightly when she heard this, trying to figure out the deep meaning of Zhen Ni's words. She didn't rush to respond, but stared at Zhen Ni's face quietly, her eyes deep and sharp, trying to catch a clue from her expression. In the whole room, only the breathing sounds of the two people were heard, which seemed particularly clear.

Zhenni raised the corners of her mouth and uttered a series of crisp "chuckles". Then she covered her lips with her hand, lowered her voice, and said with a bit of playfulness and provocation: "Even for men, our tastes are surprisingly consistent. We like the same person. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"Hahaha……"

Gan Ning finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore and said in a deep voice: "What... do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it!"

Zhen Ni said calmly, "Are you getting anxious now? Don't be anxious. There are things that can make you even more anxious. Do you want to continue listening?"

Gan Ning gritted her teeth and said, "You say!"

Zhenni crossed her legs slowly, "Guess where I was before I came to you?"

Gan Ning's face darkened instantly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her words were sharp and unquestionable: "You went to see him, right? I remind you again, he is my husband. What do you want to do by doing this?"

Jenny responded without giving in: "Yes, I did go to see him. What can you do about it? We were truly in love with each other. If you can't stand it, you can just divorce him!"

Gan Ning finally lost her guard. She was furious and said, "Shameless! You are destroying other people's family happiness wantonly. You are shameless!"

Zhen Ni changed her expression and said, "Am I shameless? You have to understand that I was the first one to fall in love with him, and you were the one who came later."

Gan Ning sneered and said, "I don't know. I only know that when I first met him, you were not by his side."

Zhen Ni said angrily: "I said it was just an accident."

"When I come back, it will be too late."

Gan Ning immediately said, "Since it's too late to know, you should let go wisely. Why bother to keep pestering him? Don't you think this is embarrassing?"

Zhenni shook her head and said, "I don't think so. I can give up everything for him. Can you?"

Gan Ning's expression changed slightly when she heard this. She looked at her with complicated eyes and said slowly, "Why are you doing this?"

Zhen Ni smiled bitterly and said, "But even though I did this, he still chose you in the end. I hate it so much. Why?"

"Don't be afraid. I did look for him today. But it's not what you think. I actually went to meet him somewhere else. From now on, we will never see each other again."

"Now you can rest assured..."

Gan Ning's expression froze for a moment when he heard this, and then a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes. He asked softly, "Where...are you planning to go?"

Zhen Ni shook her head slightly, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone: "The road ahead is uncertain. Maybe I will devote myself to the construction of the Third Front, or maybe I will go to a remote place with a lack of medical conditions..."

"Beijing, I don't want to come back again in this life."

"Before we part, I have something to say to you, but I don't know..."

Gan Ning immediately said, "Go ahead!"

Zhenni smiled and nodded to her, "I came here for only one thing, which is to ask you to take good care of him in the future, and also for me..."

Gan Ning sighed softly, feeling mixed emotions. Surprise and sadness intertwined, surprise and touching coexisted, all kinds of emotions were hard to describe.

"I will, but not for you. I love him as much as you do. This is what I should do."

"In that case, let's stop talking here!" Jenny nodded slightly at her, then stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave, with a sense of neatness and ease in her movements.

The moment she turned around, a crystal tear slid silently from the corner of her eye and gently splashed into the dust.

Gan Ning stared downstairs, and the figure of Zhen Ni gradually faded away in her eyes. She couldn't help but sighed, "Alas, this evil spirit, I wonder how many people will be broken-hearted again."
