Chapter 332 Shall We Go Home?
Tsingtao was the Song family’s economic heavyweight. Though the Song family’s influence in Tsingtao was not the most supreme, n.o.body dared to offend it. After all, the Song family was a powerful connection in both the entire Shandong area and Bohai Sea Ring area.
Qin Sheng actually dared to touch the Eldest Lady of the Song family forcibly in Tsingtao now, which was under the Song family’s control. What he was doing was nothing less than committing suicide. Fortunately, none of the crowd in the bar knew Song Zhiqiu. If some outsiders were to leak this piece of news, Qin Sheng would be unable to hang around Tsingtao anymore.
The driver, Xiaoliu, did not know Qin Sheng at all. Not only was he the Eldest Lady of the Song family’s driver but also her bodyguard. Though he had been following at Song Zhiqiu’s side for only a year, he was pretty loyal and devoted to her. This was because, in the kind of family like the Song family, the driver had to be one of the most trusted subordinates. Many people would also use this position as a springboard. If they could be appreciated by the boss, they definitely would be promoted after staying in the position for two years. If not, they would be fired. Xiaoliu was the former type. The Eldest Lady of the Song family appreciated him very much. Consequently, Xiaoliu tried his best to show off his capabilities.
At this moment, somebody actually dared to touch his Eldest Lady. Though that might be OK with others, Xiaoliu definitely would not put up with it. As a result, he rushed over without hesitation and punched Qin Sheng directly.
At this moment, Qin Sheng was half-drunk. If it were in a normal situation, it would be impossible for the kind of opponent like Xiaoliu to approach him. However, he had now been beaten heavily and lay on the ground miserably. There was also the trace of a knuckle-print on his face. His lips were bleeding with cherry-red blood, which could be credited back to Song Zhiqiu.
Since the issue had taken place all of a sudden and the cause was pretty peculiar, Nan Gong did not know if she should help Qin Sheng or not. She had no choice but to stare at Zhuang Zhou and inquire about him.
Zhuang Zhou squinted and shook his head as he said, “They are no big threats at all. Let’s see how it goes.”
Nan Gong made fun of Qin Sheng as she said in a somewhat despising manner, “Our Grand Young Master is a ladies man. Wherever he goes, he will get multiple women by his side, all of whom are beautiful as well as seductive. I wondered how he had offended this beauty since she had slapped him in the face directly. However, he responded in a somewhat straightforward manner and touched her in public. He deserves to be beaten.” As a woman, of course, she was on Song Zhiqiu’s side. After all, Qin Sheng had behaved like a hoodlum.
Zhuang Zhou chuckled as he replied, “All right. You don’t need to tease him. Obviously, he is not in a good mood. In addition, he drank too much and is no longer his normal self.”
Nan Gong snorted and said, “I don’t believe it.” Anyway, in her heart, this Young Master was getting a lower and lower score.
The way Nan Gong saw it, Qin Sheng had been knocked out by such a petty setback and indulged himself unscrupulously, not to mention that he was fickle in love. In addition, he did not respect women at all.
The scene that had happened in front of the bar counter all of a sudden was as eventful as a roller coaster. The Eldest Lady of the Song family had shown up stunningly and slapped Qin Sheng in the face without saying anything at all. Qin Sheng had responded to her by forcibly holding her in his arms and kissing her. The Eldest Lady of the Song family, who would rather die than submit, had bitten and injured him consequently. After that, a guardian angel made a remarkable debut and directly punched Qin Sheng down to the ground, who had behaved like a hoodlum. All these plots happening in just a few short minutes were much more amazing than those in the movies.
After Xiaoliu beat Qin Sheng down, he intended to pursue Qin Sheng closely. After all, Qin Sheng had bullied the G.o.ddess, as well as the dream lover, in his heart. In this case, even if he killed Qin Sheng, he would not feel that it was excessive at all.
However, at this moment, Song Zhiqiu directly took Xiaoliu by the hands and yelled out, “Xiaoliu, stop!”
Xiaoliu thought that the reason the Eldest Lady had smacked this man in front of him was that they had held a grudge against each other. He felt somewhat confused as he asked, “Eldest Lady, could it be that you will spare him? In my opinion, I should call the police right away.”
Song Zhiqiu, who was thrown into confusion, felt speechless as she said, “He is my friend. Go out and leave me alone.”
Xiaoliu, who was still puzzled, asked, “Eldest Lady, what’s going on?”
The look on Song Zhiqiu’s face changed slightly. She replied, “I asked you to go out now. Don’t you get my point?”
Sensing that the Eldest Lady was going to lose her temper, Xiaoliu dared not say anything at all and walked out of the bar in a hurry. As for the man in front of him, in Xiaoliu’s opinion, the relationship between him and the Eldest Lady had to be obscure.
After Xiaoliu left, the boss of the bar, who was standing nearby, asked Song Zhiqiu, “Beauty, do you need any help?”
Song Zhiqiu was not interested in any man. Consequently, she directly refused him in a polite manner. “No. Thanks.”
It was not after she finished the words that she stared at Qin Sheng in front of her, who was still lying on the ground and laughing out loud merrily. After she saw Qin Sheng’s current look, she was completely speechless. Though they had not seen each other for two years, she wondered where the Qin Sheng, who had been confident, cynical, and teased her unscrupulously, had gone and how he had ended up being a drunkard who feigned madness and acted like an idiot after their reunion.
Anyway, they had once been in a relationship. Though Qin Sheng had abandoned her in the end, Song Zhiqiu was not that kind of unreasonable woman. As a result, she bent over, supported Qin Sheng, and said, “Get up, you should get up now.”
Qin Sheng might have been either tired or bored. Instead of lying on the ground, he recovered his smile and sat in the chair with Song Zhiqiu’s support. After that, he drank alone while feeling blue without saying anything at all.
Song Zhiqiu felt somewhat concerned for Qin Sheng. Consequently, she asked, “Are you OK?”
Qin Sheng wiped away the blood from his lips as he thought, “The temper of this alluring woman is still the same. She made me suffer another loss.” After that, he asked for some ice cubes from the waiter, which he later wrapped in a towel, then put the towel on half of his red and swollen face. He had suffered from a punch and another slap. How miserable he was!
Qin Sheng was still silent. He covered his face with one hand and held the whiskey gla.s.s with the other, drinking sultrily.
Due to Qin Sheng having abruptly shown up, Song Zhiqiu was in a bad mood. She was so angry that she almost went crazy. After that, she said indignantly, “You want to drink, right? I will drink with you. Neither of us should go home without getting drunk. Waiter, one more gla.s.s of whiskey.”
As the waiter poured the spirits and handed it to Song Zhiqiu, who was about to take the whiskey gla.s.s, Qin Sheng grabbed her wrist and said, “If you want to kill me, this is your time. You won’t get any chance at all after I sober up.”
Qin Sheng’s words made Song Zhiqiu calm herself down in an instant. What she had said at first was done out of emotion. After all, Qin Sheng was the only man who had stepped deep into her heart. If she were handed a knife now, she would not be willing to kill him.
Song Zhiqiu stared at Qin Sheng and said, “I need an excuse.” The look in her eyes was tender. It seemed that she had been transformed into another person in an instant, not as tough as how she had been a moment ago.
Qin Sheng lowered his head as he said, “As for some issues, I really don’t know how I should explain them to you. All you need to know is that I would not stop for the sake of anyone during the two years’ period.”
Song Zhiqiu did not question him anymore. Instead, she asked, “How about now?”
Qin Sheng sighed and said, “I am tired.”
Song Zhiqiu gnashed her teeth in anger and said, “It has been two years and a half now. Never have you contacted me. You showed up all of a sudden and then disappeared abruptly. Today, you appear all of a sudden once again. Qin Sheng, why do you torture me like this?” Originally, she had thought that Qin Sheng would be her Mr. Right. It had not occurred to her that Qin Sheng would make both her and the whole Song family lose face. To her, originally it had been an impossible thing to convince her family members to take Qin Sheng in at first. However, after she had accomplished this impossible thing, Qin Sheng actually had given her up and left without even saying goodbye. In the end, the banquet for their engagement had made both her and the Song family become the biggest joke ever in the past two years.
Qin Sheng sipped the alcohol, smiled bitterly, and said, “Sorry.”
Song Zhiqiu asked, “Does your apology work at all?” Never would the Qin Sheng from before have apologized to her. However, it seemed that he had lost all his previous energy and vitality today. She resented Qin Sheng and turned her love for him into hate. In the end, she was in a conflicting situation.
Qin Sheng smiled gently as he said, “Let’s drink. We shall not recollect the past or look into the future. Neither of us can go home without getting drunk tonight.”
Since Qin Sheng was reluctant to disclose anything to Song Zhiqiu at all, she did not plan to ask him more questions. Taking off the coat she was wearing, she only had on an evening dress and bared her awesome figure and firm b.r.e.a.s.t.s. After that, she lifted up her head and drank all the whiskey in the gla.s.s. Her movement was so s.e.xy. It was especially so when the perfect radian of her neck tailored to her beautiful collarbone, which made people feel that they just could not get enough of her.
All the men around could not help swallowing. However, they all knew that none of them could be ent.i.tled to possess a woman like Song Zhiqiu. Obviously, this woman was not ordinary at all.
After Song Zhiqiu drank up, Qin Sheng followed her closely, lifted up his head, and drank up the whiskey in the gla.s.s. With a beauty by his side and delicious alcohol in his hands, he felt pretty happy and took the other things as a dream.
As a result, in the time that followed, both of them were silent and didn’t say anything at all. They just sat there and drank continuously. The more Qin Sheng drank, the drunker he got. In the end, he could not hold on anymore. Song Zhiqiu started to feel that she was getting drunk. She had once been a girl from a respectable family in everybody’s eyes who barely drank. However, after she had come across Qin Sheng, she had changed completely. During the period after Qin Sheng had left her, she had trained herself to be good drinker and got drunk frequently. It was not until in the recent half a year that she had recovered.
Qin Sheng was so drunk that he lay down on the bar counter. As Qin Sheng’s sole friend in Tsingtao, Song Zhiqiu had no choice but to take this drunkard back home. Of course, she paid the bill for Qin Sheng conveniently. Consequently, she could not help cursing Qin Sheng.
After Song Zhiqiu put on her coat, she asked the driver, Xiaoliu, to come in. They supported Qin Sheng and left the bar together. Following that, Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong also left. They had ascertained this Great Beauty Song’s actual situation and knew that she was not a danger at all. Admittedly, they had gotten their information quite quickly, which could be credited to the Eldest Lady of the Song family’s great popularity.
However, to them, the closer they were to Sijiu City, the stronger their resources and connections were. After all, the Qin family had very many industries in Tsingtao. Speaking more specifically, the Qin family had many business connections with the Song family.
After they helped Qin Sheng into the car, Song Zhiqiu sat in the back seat. Qin Sheng directly lay on her legs, making her feel pretty uncomfortable. However, she had no choice but to put up with him. After all, Qin Sheng was so drunk.
Xiaoliu asked randomly, “Eldest Lady, where are we going?” Originally, he had thought they were going to drive Qin Sheng to a hotel. Now, he knew what had happened a moment ago might have been a misunderstanding. Obviously, he had acted somewhat impulsively. However, he felt somewhat at ease since the Eldest Lady did not have any intention to blame him at all. Even so, he was still quite curious about this man.
Song Zhiqiu was lost in thought since she also did not know where Qin Sheng was staying. If she dropped him at a random hotel, she would feel concerned about him, more or less. As a result, Song Zhiqiu finally made up her mind then said, “Let’s go home.”
The driver, Xiaoliu, was at a loss for a few seconds, thinking he had not caught the meaning of Song Zhiqiu’s words. After that, he asked, “Eldest Lady, shall we go home?”
Song Zhiqiu replied, “Xiaoliu, what’s happened to you today? He is my best friend. Since he is so drunk, I definitely need to take care of him. Do you have any questions regarding that? In addition, never should you disclose what happened today to anybody. Otherwise, you have to bear the consequence on your own.”
Xiaoliu replied in a hurry, “Eldest Lady, I get your point. I do.”
After he finished his words, he dared not say any other nonsense at all and drove in the direction of Huangdao hurriedly. Since it was the Eldest Lady’s privacy, of course, he should not inquire into it randomly. However, he was curious about the man’s ident.i.ty. Who on earth was he? The Eldest Lady actually would take him home. It was well known that except for her direct relatives, never had a man ever entered the Eldest Lady’s luxurious mansion, of course, including himself.
Obviously, the relationship between the Eldest Lady and this man definitely was obscure…
