Chapter 331 The Way of Meeting Each Other
In a strange city and a strange place, Qin Sheng was surrounded by strange pa.s.sers-by. Feeling bored and depressed, he drank alone and intended to vent the anger in his heart. Though he was unwilling to be indebted to others, he had become indebted to many people in the end. He could not even return some of the favors now. For example, he could not return Gu Qingyang’s favor, who had died for his sake.
A few days ago, they had been together morning and night—drinking, chatting, and thinking about the future. They had told each other that even though Hangzhou could not take them in, there would be a place in the end that could take them in. As long as brothers united together, they could get anything done. The night before yesterday, they had fought at each other’s side and gone through the critical moment. In the end, Gu Qingyang had chosen to embrace death calmly for the sake of Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng remembered the related scenes vividly, including Gu Qingyang’s every sentence, every expression, and every movement.
Qin Sheng did have the thought that they might not be able to see each other again after they turned their backs. However, he had hoped of course that Gu Qingyang could be alive so that they could build up their own world and experience all the glory in the future together. Never did it ever occur to him that after the separation this time they would part from each other forever. From now on, they were boundlessly apart, separated by life and death. Never would they meet again.
It’s not until one experiences a loss that one begins to know that they should cherish the things they have in front of them. This was especially true for Qin Sheng at this moment. If he had treated Gu Qingyang much better previously, how amazing it would have been.
As a result, at this moment, Qin Sheng felt really bad. Originally, the resentment that had been acc.u.mulated over the past few years had almost been eroded when he was in Xiamen. At this moment, it came back over him again and engulfed him completely.
He just could not understand why he had been so ill-fated. Wherever he had gone, he had been targeted. However hard he had tried to avoid and dodge his enemies, he just could not get rid of them. Why? Could it be that since he was an insignificant person who did not have either family connections or a background that those big bosses dared to step down on him unscrupulously?
Gu Qingyang’s death completely irritated Qin Sheng. Consequently, the more alcohol Qin Sheng drank, the more confused he became. He had fallen into endless darkness. All he was thinking about was avenging Gu Qingyang.
Since he had arrived in Tsingtao, it was exactly the Song family who he had been trying to hook up with. In this case, he did not need to think about anything at all. Consequently, he called the Eldest Lady of the Song family without any hesitation.
At this moment, the Eldest Lady of the Song family was in a Hilton hotel beside the Golden Beach in Hungdao District, attending a banquet held by the Chamber of Commerce. She was dressed in a black, deep V-neck gown and had a beautiful diamond necklace around her neck. Her hair was long and her temperament was as elegant as usual. She could be considered a pretty stunning existence among the whole audience. Every talented young man came to greet her, intending to ask for her number.
She was indeed beautiful. There was a charisma that made men think that they just could not get enough of her between her eyes and eyebrows. As long as she slightly made eyes at any many, he would give in to her. No wonder Qin Sheng had called her an alluring woman. However alluring and experienced she was, she was a woman after all. As long as she was a woman, she would be conquered by men. Speaking of the men who had conquered her before, Qin Sheng was the only one.
When her mobile rang, the Eldest Lady of the Song family was surrounded by a swarm of strangers, which every beautiful woman would encounter. If it were in usual days, upon seeing that the call was from a strange number in a foreign province, the Eldest Lady of the Song family definitely would not even bother to pick it up. But, at this moment, it just so happened that she could take advantage of this call to leave.
The Eldest Lady of the Song family chuckled as she said, “I am sorry. I need to answer a call.”
Upon finishing her words, she left with quick steps and walked in the direction of the balcony. Meanwhile, she answered the call as she said, “h.e.l.lo, who is speaking?”
After that, the Eldest Lady of the Song family heard the reply from Qin Sheng, who said, “I am in Tsingtao.”
The voice sounded pretty familiar to the Eldest Lady of the Song family. However, after all, they had been separated from each other for more than two years. In addition, Qin Sheng’s voice had changed a lot. Consequently, at first, she did not know it was actually Qin Sheng who was speaking. It was a rare thing that even a strange number could call her mobile. Consequently, she knew that the number had to belong to someone who knew her. She frowned as she asked, “Who are you?”
Qin Sheng, who was drunk, replied quite playfully, “Me? You’re my fiancée, isn’t that right?”
What Qin Sheng had said made the Eldest Lady of the Song family come to her senses in an instant. She was dumbfounded on the spot subconsciously. It did not occur to her that it would be the heartless man who had left without saying goodbye on the night before their engagement banquet, making her a complete joke in front of all the members of the Song family. She had once sworn to herself that she would find and kill him. In addition, he had made the Song family lose the ancient jade. However, though many people who had been sent out by the Song family had been chasing after him for more than a year, they could do nothing to him. Consequently, she gave up on trying to find him in the end.
Never did it occur to her that this man actually would come to Tsingtao today and turn himself in to her in person. Could it be that he wanted to end his life?
After the Eldest Lady of the Song family came to her senses, she got to the point directly as she asked, “Where are you now?”
Qin Sheng could sense the killing aura from the Eldest Lady of the Song family’s way of speaking. Knowing that this alluring woman would not kill him, he teased her as he replied, “If you want to kill me, feel free to come at me. I am in the Tsingtao Life Bar in Badaguan.”
The Eldest Lady of the Song family’s face became dark, then she replied, “OK.”
After the Eldest Lady of the Song family hung up the phone, she did not inform anyone at all. Instead, she left the Hilton hotel directly and asked the driver to drive her to Badaguan. Since they had not met each other for more than two years, she was dying to see how he was now.
Two men who had noticed that the Eldest Lady of the Song family had left whispered to each other in the corner. One of them said, “Why did she leave without saying goodbye? It seems that she does not look well.”
The other replied half-playfully, “Who knows? She has a pretty strange temperament. Perhaps menopause has arrived early. Hahahaha, we don’t need to worry about her.”
One of them chuckled as he said, “Up till now, the Eldest Lady of the Song family is still single. n.o.body can win her favor. In your view, could it be that she likes women?”
The other one explained, “As for this, you are kept in the dark. Two years ago, the Eldest Lady of the Song family was almost engaged. However, n.o.body expected that the man would run away on the night before their engagement. Henceforth, the Eldest Lady of the Song family started to act like this and has despised men. She must have been hurt badly.”
The other man expressed his surprise as he replied, “I didn’t know about such a strange affair. Someone actually was favored by the Eldest Lady of the Song family. More amazingly, that man actually gave her up. He was simply blessed without knowing it. In Shandong, the Song family is a bellwether.” Obviously, he admired and envied the lucky man, more or less. If it had been him who had been favored by the Eldest Lady of the Song family, of course, he would not have given her up. He thought that the reason why the man was so lucky was that he must have striven for happiness in his many previous lives.
The man across from him sighed and said, “Hehe. It is not the Song family in Shandong but the Song family in Beijing that is fearsome. The Song family in Beijing is an authentically huge monster.”
They ended their conversation there and left it at that. If they continued their discussion, they would be overheard. In that case, they probably would displease somebody.
The winter in the north was somewhat cold, which was especially true in Tsingtao by the seaside. The Eldest Lady of the Song family ran out with only one coat; she simply did not have time to get herself changed. She did not know whether she hated that heartless man more or loved him more. All in all, she was in conflict. Although she had thought she had forgotten this man, every time she thought of him, she was heartbroken.
The Eldest Lady of the Song family urged the driver by saying, “Xiaoliu, speed up.” The driver, Xiaoliu, was pretty surprised. It seemed that the Eldest Lady had never urged him before. What happened to her tonight?
Half an hour later, the Eldest Lady of the Song family finally made it from the Hungdao District to the bar in Badaguan where Qin Sheng was. Originally, she had worn delicate makeup while attending the banquet tonight, which was social etiquette. In addition, she was dressed in a beautiful evening dress. In addition, she had an outstanding disposition. Consequently, after she entered the bar, she caught all the people’s eyes in an instant. Whether it was a man or a woman, they were all attracted by this beauty who had walked in all of a sudden. It was so quiet in the bar that one could even hear a pin drop. Even the pub singer stopped singing subconsciously. It seemed that G.o.d had pressed the pause key at this moment. Only the Eldest Lady of the Song family walked forward slowly on her own and looked for the figure that was familiar as well as strange to her.
Qin Sheng did not even pay attention to what was going on at the entrance. As a result, he did not know about the on-going scene at the moment and yelled to the waiter, “Waiter, one more gla.s.s of whiskey.”
His yelling also got the Eldest Lady of the Song family’s attention. After she twice confirmed that the man was exactly that heartless man, she screwed up her courage, walked toward Qin Sheng, and stood in front of him in the end.
The Eldest Lady of the Song family had powerful charisma. Even Qin Sheng, who was drunk, sensed that something had gone wrong. After that, he turned around slowly and looked at her. A frivolous smile showed up on his face. He eyed the Eldest Lady of the Song family up and down smilingly; she was as beautiful and seductive as ever. After that, he said, “Zhiqiu, you are as beautiful as always.”
Zhiqiu was the Eldest Lady of the Song family’s first name. Her full name was Song Zhiqiu. The reason why she had been named Song Zhiqiu was that she had been born in the autumn. It was her grandfather who had given her this name, which sounded melodious. Unfortunately, her grandfather had pa.s.sed away.
It was exactly that heartless man. Song Zhiqiu stared at the man in front of her closely. He was bearded and looked scruffy. The smell of alcohol coming from all over his body was disgusting. The look in his eyes was blurry. His eyes lost their glow. He was simply a man abandoned by life, who wasn’t at all the same as what he had been in the beginning.
Song Zhiqiu felt pretty disappointed. She was quite strange to Qin Sheng. What she liked was not this perverted man in front of her but the cynical Qin Sheng from previous days. She did not know what had happened to Qin Sheng to make him end up like this. However, never should a man whom she liked act like this. Even though she had once liked Qin Sheng, he should never look like this.
As a result, Song Zhiqiu raised up her arms without hesitation and slapped Qin Sheng forcibly in the face.
What she had done made all the people on the scene feel astonished.
The men who had admired and envied Qin Sheng a moment ago chuckled secretly in an instant. They did not even care what on earth had happened. Anyway, they were OK with it as long as it was not this man who would win the fair lady. As for who would win the fair lady behind the scenes, they did not even care to bother with it, which was a bad habit deeply-rooted in men’s bones.
After Qin Sheng was slapped, he became confused. It did not occur to him that the way of Song Zhiqiu and him meeting each other would be so unique. Back when they had known each other before, he had not been indulgent to Song Zhiqiu at all. She actually had dared to hit him when they had met each other again. Consequently, Qin Sheng felt indignant in an instant.
Qin Sheng stood up all of a sudden and stared at Song Zhiqiu. The look in his eyes was foul and ominous, which scared Song Zhiqiu so much that she stepped backward subconsciously.
Right at this moment, Qin Sheng did something that made all the people on the scene feel dumbfounded and all the men feel heartbroken.
He held Song Zhiqiu in his arms directly. After that, he kissed her directly in a forcible manner. The bar became noisy instantly. The driver, Xiaoliu, who had been standing at the entrance after driving Song Zhiqiu here, rushed over without hesitation.
Song Zhiqiu was at a loss. It did not occur to her that Qin Sheng would kiss her. Though what should happen between lovers had happened to them once, after all, that had taken place in the past. Qin Sheng actually had kissed her again after they had met each other again today. Obviously, she felt pretty upset.
She wanted to push Qin Sheng away forcibly. However, Qin Sheng was so powerful and did not give her any chance at all. After she came to her senses, she had no choice but to make up her mind to bite Qin Sheng’s lower lip, causing it to bleed.
Xiaoliu came over, pulled them apart, and pulled Song Zhiqiu behind his back to place her under his protection. After that, he punched Qin Sheng’s face without hesitation. Qin Sheng, who walked unstably, stumbled backward and fell on the ground.
In the corner of the bar, Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong, who both wore hats, were drinking with each other. This issue that had happened all of a sudden made them lose their heads. Nan Gong, who did not know what she should do, had no choice but to stare at Zhuang Zhou as she asked, “What should we do now?”
