Both of them knew what Gao Qionghui meant by not caring.
“At that time, you were after Cao Xiangrong’s money. I can’t persuade you, so I’ll respect your choice. Are you saying that I don’t treat you as a friend? What else do you want me to do? I wanted to call you as soon as I found out about Cao Xiangrong’s marriage. I was afraid that you would feel awkward, so I could only ask Qin Mucheng to warn Cao Xiangrong and settle the relationship between you and him.
Later, during the wedding, Cao Xiangrong’s father wanted to call the police, but I stopped him. Otherwise, you should be at the police station right now. Perhaps you don’t know this, but Shenghe really needs the Gu family’s loan now. Because of you, I offended the Gu family, and that loan went up in smoke. But I don’t regret it!”
Ji Yuanyuan said in one breath. Gao Qjonghui was shocked. She took a deep breath and repeated, “Gao Qjonghui, I don’t regret it! I can think of another way to get a loan, but if you leave a criminal record in your life, then your life will be ruined.”
Gao Qionghui fell weakly to the ground along with Lin Nan.
She cried silently.
“I didn’t do all this because I wanted you to thank me. I just remember that winter, the four of us stood outside the male dormitory, holding a megaphone and scolding Liu Bowen and Hu Hao.”
Gao Qionghui cried even harder.
She bent her legs and buried her face between them.
“Gao Qionghui, I’ve never thought that I’m so great. You’re right. Our family is not part of the upper cla.s.s. When I was young, I didn’t even have enough to eat. I also had a family who gave in to me for an egg. My parents relied on their own hands to get to where they are today. According to them, they are indeed nouveau riche.”
She stepped forward and squatted in front of Gao Qionghui. “I never married Qin Mucheng for his money or family background. My dream is not to integrate into high society. Otherwise, I wouldn’t continue studying. We can love money and luxury goods, but we have to love ourselves more.”
Gao Qionghui listened to Ji Yuanyuan’s words and slowly stopped crying.
“Huihui, people can take back what they have given them at any time. Only your own things will always be yours. I hope you can think about whether Cao Xiangrong is worth committing suicide.”
Ji Yuanyuan stood up. “I know you don’t want to see me, so I won’t stay here and make you feel bad.”
She looked at Lin Nan and Tian Shengnan. “I’ll have to trouble you two. I’ll go first.”
Tian Shengnan looked hesitantly at Gao Qionghui, who was lying on the ground. She then raised her head. “Alright, you can go first. I’m free these few days. I’ll accompany her.”
Ji Yuanyuan went to the sofa, took her bag, and changed her shoes at the entrance.
Before she left, he didn’t forget to take away the trash at the entrance.
After she closed the door and left, Lin Nan seemed to have finally reacted. She quickly said to Tian Shengnan, “Look after her. I’ll send Yuanyuan off.”
“Yes.” Tian Shengnan nodded.
Lin Nan hurriedly chased after her.
The door was closed, leaving only Tian Shengnan and Gao Qionghui in the room.
Looking at Gao Qionghui on the ground, Tian Shengnan squatted down and touched her head with some heartache. “Huihui, I can understand you. We are all children from poor families. We all want money and a good life. We all want to make those who looked down on us envy us.”
Of course, the children from poor families were compared to Lin Nan and Ji Yuanyuan.
But in reality, Gao Qionghui’s family was much better off than theirs.
“However, there are not many shortcuts in the world. You took a shortcut and are already stronger than many people. Look at you now. You have a high degree, a house, a job, and savings. You’re living better than your relatives and most of our cla.s.smates. Even if you marry Cao Xiangrong, what’s the use? Aren’t you afraid that he will divorce you every day?”
“Tian Shengnan, why didn’t I realize you were so talkative?” Gao Qionghui choked.
Tian Shengnan chuckled. “I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart. You’ve said it yourself. Yuanyuan’s family is rich, but they’re still looked down upon by the people in their circle. If it were you, they would look down on you even more. Don’t force your way in if you’re not in the same circle.”
Downstairs, Lin Nan finally caught up to Ji Yuanyuan.
“Are you alright?” She looked at Ji Yuanyuan worriedly.
“What’s wrong with me? I’m fine!” Ji Yuanyuan laughed.
“Gao Qionghui must have lost her mind. Don’t take her words to heart. We don’t live our lives for the approval of others. It’s more important for you and Qin Mucheng to have a good relationship than anything else.”
Ji Yuanyuan knew Lin Nan’s intention. She smiled and leaned against the car.
“Speaking of which, Qin Mucheng is the most caring person I’ve ever met. Even if the sky falls, he probably won’t do anything to let you down.”
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and patted Lin Nan’s shoulder. “If he wasn’t good, why would I be with him? Take good care of Gao Qionghui. I hope my words just now can wake her up.”
Lin Nan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Ji Yuanyuan did not take Gao Qionghui’s words to heart.
She waved at Ji Yuanyuan. “Be careful when you go back. Please send my greetings to my G.o.ddaughter.”
“Got it.” Ji Yuanyuan laughed.
Ji Yuanyuan got into the car under Lin Nan’s gaze and quickly left Gao Qionghui’s neighborhood.
After Ji Yuanyuan’s car was out of sight, Lin Nan took her phone out of her pocket.
She found Qin Mucheng’s number and called him.
Five minutes later, Lin Nan returned upstairs. Tian Shengnan had already persuaded Gao Qionghui to return to her room.
She lay down on the sofa tiredly and muttered, “What a wasted vacation!”
At the Qin residence, Qin Mucheng changed his clothes and came down. Cheng Shuqin asked in surprise. “Where are you going? Aren’t you eating at home?”
Qin Mucheng shook his head. “You guys eat first. I’ll be back in forty minutes. Just leave some for me.”
“Where are you going?” Cheng Shuqin asked curiously.
“I’m going to see Cao Xiangrong to discuss something.” Qin Mucheng smiled.
“Alright, I’ll bring Tangtang for lunch after we’re done eating.” Cheng Shuqin didn’t ask further.
Qin Mucheng got into the car and called Cao Xiangrong.
“h.e.l.lo? Why?” Cao Xiangrong’s voice sounded a little hoa.r.s.e, as if he had just woken up.
“Where?” Qin Mucheng asked concisely.
“I’m in a hotel. It’s not peaceful anywhere, so I decided to hide out.”
“Send me the location. I’ll go find you.” After saying that, Qin Mucheng immediately hung up the phone.
Cao Xiangrong’s message came very quickly. The location of the hotel and the rooms were all available.
Qin Mucheng looked at the message and smirked. He stepped on the accelerator.
In fifteen minutes, Qin Mucheng arrived at the door of Cao Xiangrong’s room.
He pressed the doorbell..
