Chapter 1594: You Are My Little Love Song (161)
s.h.i.+ Niange paused in her footsteps and turned to look at him.
Seeing her suddenly sharp gaze, Xiao Da knew that she wouldn’t believe him, but he still said shamelessly, “Although the contact list saved in the account won’t disappear, the photos and messages in your phone… are all gone… especially the messages. Not a single one is left.”
After saying this, he was prepared to be beaten up by s.h.i.+ Niange. He stood there and glanced at her from time to time.
s.h.i.+ Niange stood there in silence for a long time. She suddenly realized that after so many days of shock, she was actually somewhat numb.
No matter how angry and frustrated she was.
She held the pa.s.sport in her hand and looked at him expressionlessly. “Xiao Da, do you want to die?”
Xiao Da’s face was trembling. “Sister Nian, Sister Ge, Sister s.h.i.+, Ancestor, I really didn’t do it on purpose!”
s.h.i.+ Niange coldly said, “You can see how I’ve endured so many days. I might be on the verge of being driven mad at any moment. If I really go mad, I’ll strangle you to death first.”
Xiao Da: “…”
With that, she did not look at him anymore and entered the lounge without looking back.
Xiao Da stood behind her and looked at her. He had done it on purpose. He was really prepared to be beaten up by her. At most, he would receive a few punches or a few slaps. Although s.h.i.+ Niange was not that violent, if she was really angry, her little fists might still smash over.
But she did not do anything.
Xiao Luye was right. For s.h.i.+ Niange, such a big upheaval in the s.h.i.+ family was an important dividing line in her life.
She would never be the Nian Nian she used to be.
…
The plane landed in Hai City.
s.h.i.+ Niange slept for a while on the plane, but she did not sleep well.
On the contrary, after arriving in Hai City and leaving the airport, her heart strangely felt much more at ease. It was probably because she had lived here since she was young.
Before returning to the country, she had already booked a meeting place with Auntie Bai. Right now, it was almost time to meet. Auntie Bai said that she had an event in the city center these days and was staying in a hotel nearby. She remembered the hotel’s name. It was the hotel that the Tang father and son had gone to with her father, the hotel that the Qin family had invested in.
She hurriedly took a taxi to the airport and went straight to the city center. There was a traffic jam for a while, but her phone was out of battery right now, so she couldn’t contact Auntie Bai. Hai City was originally a crowded city, and now it was past six in the evening. During the evening rush hour, the cars were all squeezed at various crossroads. Even if it turned green, they still couldn’t continue driving.
s.h.i.+ Niange sat in the car for a while. When she saw that she was really going to be late, she lowered the car window and looked out. She felt that if she ran over, it would be faster than sitting in a car. She decided to pay the fare and got out of the car, running in the direction of the hotel.
After running for more than five minutes, she finally saw the Qin family’s hotel in front of her. s.h.i.+ Niange stood by the side of the road, panting heavily. She took a few deep breaths and walked in that direction.
She had just walked behind a huge banana tree and green plant in front of the hotel entrance. Just as she was about to reach the main entrance, a man and a woman walked out of the automatic sensor door at the hotel entrance. s.h.i.+ Niange’s gazeand feet instantly froze on the ground.
Qin Siting?
Didn’t he rarely come to the Qin family’s businesses? Why did he suddenly come to this hotel?
He then saw the young girl by his side. She was dressed very formally and beautifully. She held the latest luxury H family bag in her hand and walked by his side. They were very close. The two of them walked out at the same time. The girl kept chatting and laughing with him. When they walked down the stairs in front of the hotel, because it was inconvenient to wear high heels, she directly reached out to hold Qin Siting’s arm.
At first, s.h.i.+ Niange’s expression was only filled with surprise. Then, the remaining light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
This place was less than twenty meters away from the hotel entrance. There was only a large banana tree blocking the way. She could hear the girl’s words. “Brother Ting, the date of our engagement happens to be my birthday. Coincidentally, you can accompany me all day. I heard from my father that the engagement party has already been decided on the hotel and time. It should start in the morning. He invited quite a number of people, including the provincial leaders. Thinking about it, I suddenly feel a little nervous.”
s.h.i.+ Niange thought she had heard wrongly.
Engagement?
Who?
Was this woman engaged to Qin Siting?
s.h.i.+ Niange stood rooted to the ground and watched their figures. From beginning to end, she did not hear a single word from Qin Siting, but she saw that he did not wave away the girl’s hand that was holding his arm. She also saw that the two of them had crossed the road. When they crossed the road, the girl’s hand was holding onto him tightly. It was as if she did not feel safe as half of her body was pressed against his arm.
He did not wave it away.
He did not push her away.
They crossed the road together.
Then, s.h.i.+ Niange saw Qin Siting and the girl enter a dessert shop across the street. The girl stood behind the line and seemed to find the line too long. She looked up and said something to Qin Siting. Qin Siting lowered his head to listen to a few words. Then, she didn’t know what the two of them said, but from the angle of the back, they were very intimate.
s.h.i.+ Niange suddenly retracted her gaze. She lowered her head and saw that a huge piece of the banana leaf in front of her was about to be crushed. She put down her hand and looked at the time again. She took a deep breath and refused to look at the scene in the gla.s.s window of the dessert shop. She turned around and walked up the stairs into the hotel.
Auntie Bai was already sitting inside waiting. s.h.i.+ Niange walked in with a heavy heart and found the table Auntie Bai had booked. Before she could go forward to apologize, Auntie Bai had already stood up quickly, approached, and hugged her. “Nian Nian, my poor little baby. In the past few days, facing so many relatives and company matters in the United States must have been difficult, right?”
s.h.i.+ Niange could not return to her senses for a moment. She looked up at Auntie Bai and nodded politely.
“Don’t be so reserved with me. I’ve already discussed the investment with your mother. You don’t have to feel pressured. I’ll definitely help you.” Auntie Bai pulled her to sit by the table. “What you need to do now is to adjust your mood and prepare for war. I’ve heard from your mother that there are many internal disputes in s.h.i.+da’s company. It’s difficult to suppress them. If you want to take over everything now, I’m afraid you’ll really have to face all sorts of difficulties. Don’t worry. Your mother and I have always been good. Now that she’s gone, I’ll treat you as my own daughter. If there’s anything, just tell me. Auntie Bai will protect you.”
s.h.i.+ Niange smiled gratefully at Auntie Bai. Then, from the corner of her eyes, she saw the dessert shop opposite the window. Her hand slowly tightened around the cup on the table.
