Young Master Shen sent Xin Qing back to the Ying Family. On the way back, they went to a very famous sweet shop that he recommended and he bought a few cakes for her. In the end, the unintentional small episode spread over the entire school the next day. Young Master Shen was famous as a playboy, and many stars were involved with him, so the reporters often followed him and would be able to take photos of his dating with some female star if they were lucky. Xin Qing was very unlucky to be photographed, and appeared in the newspaper headlines the next day.
The photo in the newspaper showed that Young Master Shen gently opened the car door for her with boxes of cakes in his hand. Although there was only a profile of Xin Qing, anyone who was familiar with her would recognize that it was her.
"Tsk, you will be a celebrity soon." Zhang Mi shook the newspaper in front of her face.
Xin Qing didn"t know whether she should laugh or cry. How could she be so unlucky …
"Is this the man you live with now?" Shi Qianqian stared at Young Master Shen in the newspaper. She didn"t remember there was such a man in S City.
Xin Qing almost vomited out the crisps she had just eaten. "No, I"m not familiar with him."
"Then frankly speaking, who exactly are you living with?" Shi Qianqian closed the door and sat beside Xin Qing, looking at her. "Tell us the truth."
Xin Qing placed the crisps on the table and lowered her head without saying a word.
"How long are you going to keep this from us? What exactly is going on? " Shi Qianqian had always felt that Xin Qing was hiding something from them. In the past, Xin Qing was very indifferent. She had a gentle personality and would not fight for anything. But now, every time she fought with that Xin Yudie, she did not retreat at all. She had become so brave and so strong. She might have experienced something, otherwise she wouldn"t have been able to grow so fast.
Xin Qing raised her head and looked at Shi Qianqian and Zhang Mi. Both of them were looking at her with extremely clear eyes. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"On the night that my mother died, Xin Pengfei sold me to a man …" Xin Qing calmly told her two good friends about her experience in these four months, and then looked at them with some unease.
"Will you look down on me?"
Zhang Mi burst into tears as she hugged her tightly, "Xin Qing, why didn"t you tell us earlier? We didn"t even know that you had suffered so much."
"I"m fine, don"t cry, don"t cry." Xin Qing"s tears flowed down her face, "It"s over. Now everything is good, isn"t it?"
Shi Qianqian glared at her. She raised her hand and wanted to poke her forehead. But when her hand got there, she sighed and hugged her, "You fool, why didn"t you call me? I could save you. Why didn"t you ask me for help?"
Xin Qing completely believed in what Shi Qianqian said, but …
"It was simply too late at that time! And later, I saw my mother"s will. She was the one who entrusted me to Ying Qingcang." Xin Qing laughed bitterly, and joked, "So you"ve seen that I"m a real Young Miss of the rich and powerful family."
"Is that Ying Qingcang nice to you? Did he hit you?" Zhang Mi was worried he wouldn"t treat Xin Qing well because those rich people always had many women.
Xin Qing didn"t want to think about what had happened between her and Ying Qingcang. She could not say it was good or bad, for it was just a fair deal.
On the other hand, Shi Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "If it"s Ying Qingcang, that"s fine."
"You know him too?" Xin Qing was not too surprised. Shi Qianqian"s brother-in-law was also in the same circles as Ying Qingcang was.
"I don"t know him, but I heard him from my brother-in-law."
Zhang Mi asked anxiously: "How many women does he have? What"s his character like?"
"That Ying Qingcang is different." Shi Qianqian said, "He never had a woman with him, so it"s said that he"s a gay. My brother-in-law spoke very highly of him, saying that he was a business genius and a cruel one. "
"Cruel? Does it mean that Xin Qing is really in danger... "
"Qianqian means he"s cruel in business." Xin Qing said, "So he really does not have a woman."
"Well, he did not before, but now he had you." Shi Qianqian smiled.
Xin Qing rolled her eyes: "He"s also a pervert, a beast. He"s always wearing a sullen face, just like a lunatic."
"Do you know how my brother-in-law thinks of him?" Shi Qianqian tilted her head and thought for a moment. "A pair of cold eyes staring at the world, but full of pa.s.sion for his friends."
Xin Qing didn"t say anything for a long time. Were they talking about the same person?
At this time, the "lunatic" Ying Qingcang was giving Young Master Shen a lesson in his office.
"I let you pick her up at school, but you made yourself the newspaper headlines. Look, she was also involved in. And, I let you investigate that thing, but you made mistakes. She never wanted to cooperate with Xin Pengfei." Ying Qingcang threw the newspaper onto the face of the man opposite him, but Young Master Shen laughed as he picked up the newspaper and evaluated, "Tsk, this angle of mine is really cool!" He then glared at Ying Qingcang, "We are gangdom, not the intelligence agency. It"s good enough that we found out what Xin Pengfei was planning to do. Why did you not ask her clearly?"
Ying Qingcang frowned and asked him: "Is everything done well?"
"Of course, Little Qingqing should be informed now. And I also talked with the principle, so no one will make trouble for her anymore. But you … " Young Master Shen blinked his eyes, "You really don"t want to tell her that the jewelry company is yours?"
"No need." Ying Qingcang did not hesitate at all. Thinking of Xin Qing"s stubborn look, he was afraid that if he said it, she would feel more pressure.
Young Master Shen nodded: "Little Qingqing is a good girl."
Ying Qingcang understood what he meant. He discovered that Xin Qing was a very a.s.sertive person, and was a tough girl inside. He started to understand why Xin Qing wasn"t willing to let him interfere with her matters. In Xin Qing"s opinion, what she had right now was gained by selling her body. The more he gave her, the more she would be uneasy. Ying Qingcang could understand what Xin Qing was thinking, but he could not agree to it.
From his point of view, everything was fair. He and Xin Qing had a deal signed on paper. And it wasn"t him who went for her, but was her mother who arranged it for her. In the beginning, Ying Qingcang had wished that she would not show up, so his att.i.tude towards her would naturally not be good.
But it was different now. Ying Qingcang no longer hated to go to bed with Xin Qing, but insead he even enjoyed it…
"Did you …" Ying Qingcang looked at Young Master Shen, and then closed his mouth.
Young Master Shen glanced at him: "What?"
"Nothing." He was going to ask if those women were happy when this guy went to bed with them. However, he would definitely be mocked by this guy if he asked such a question, so it was better not to ask.
As Xin Qing would partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, she was busy with redesigning in these days. Her old works had already been taken away by Xin Yudie, so she had to come up with a new topic. Furthermore, she had not seen Xin Yudie since a long time ago, which made Xin Qing feel like she had returned to her previous state. However, just when you thought that everything was great, someone would jump out and make you uncomfortable.
"Xin Qing!"
Hearing this voice and seeing the furious look on the man"s face, Xin Qing"s good mood disappeared.
"Stop right there. Do you want to let it go after you hit me?" Du Zhekai stopped her.
"The one who beat you up wasn"t me. Go and find the person who did it." Xin Qing saw that there was still a wound on Du Zhekai"s chin. It was most likely because of the fall.
Du Zhekai said with a savage expression: "Is that man your new sugar daddy? He hit me, so you should take the responsibility. "
Xin Qing could not help but sneer. What kind of logic was this?
"Don"t laugh, tell me what will you do." Du Zhekai looked at her with a cold smile as well.
Xin Qing turned and left. She didn"t believe that Du Zhekai would dare to beat her at school.
He really dared not and could only see Xin Qing leaving in front of him. He was so angry that his face had distorted.
Du Zhekai did not expect what happened later. That day, he received a call from his home when he woke up. Since Xin Yudie had told his father what happened, Du Ziqiang naturally wouldn"t let his son suffer such grievances. When reading the newspaper in a morning, Du Zhekai said that it was this Young Master Shen who beat him up. Hearing this, Du Ziqiang directly went out for aid.
He unintentionally mentioned what happened when he had the meeting at Du"s headquarter. Originally, he had thought that it would be better if the Du family supported him. Unexpectedly, when the head of Du family saw the one in the newspaper, he coldly said, "Don"t offend this man." and he even didn"t mention his son at all.
Du Ziqiang was not stupid. He knew that Young Master Shen wasn"t someone they could offend. He gave Du Zhekai a lesson, then realized that it was supposed to have something to do with Xin Yudie, so he did not allow Du Zhekai to be with Xin Yudie anymore.
All of these had nothing to do with Xin Qing, who was wholeheartedly focusing on her new work. Only when she went downstairs to eat and saw Ying Qingcang did she remember that it was a full moon night today …
"Don"t mess with that Young Master Shen any more." Ying Qingcang had nothing to say but said.
Xin Qing, who was sitting on the other side of the table, knew that he was talking about the newspaper headlines. She raised her head and glanced at him, "You"d better lock him up and not let him out."
Puff … These words made Ying Qingcang, who kept thinking why he often said the wrong thing when he faced Xin Qing, almost couldn"t hold back his laughter. He originally thought that she would be unhappy because of what was reported in the newspaper.
Seemed that she was fine, Ying Qingcang casually picked up the magazine to cover his face.
"I need to discuss something with you." This time, Xin Qing took the initiative to start the conversation, "I will partic.i.p.ate in a design compet.i.tion at the end of the year. If you want to do it during this period of time, can you make it earlier?" After that, Xin Qing emphasized, "This compet.i.tion is very important to me, and I need to prepare well."
Ying Qingcang pretended very well. It seemed he looked down on the compet.i.tion: "What"s the use to partic.i.p.ate in this kind of compet.i.tion. It"s meaningless."
"It means a lot to me." Xin Qing stared at him, and her serious eyes were shining brightly under the crystal lamp. They were as bright as the most gorgeous diamonds.
Ying Qingcang was immersed in their brilliance. In order to cover up his abnormal behaviors, he took a sip of coffee and stood up: "Well then, let"s start."
Ying Qingcang, who rushed upstairs, felt a little angry when he was taking a bath and recalled what Xin Qing had said. How could she regard making love with him as the homework she needed to do? Was she not looking forward to it?
Ying Qingcang didn"t want to admit that he was actually looking forward. Now he knew how Xin Qing regarded it, he was somewhat upset.
