Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The originally lively private room suddenly became quiet. As Ji Nuan was unclear of the situation and wasn’t sure what was going on, she didn’t say anything. However, in order not to make s.h.i.+ Niange feel too embarra.s.sed, she chose to stand by her side.
Sensing Ji Nuan’s thoughtfulness, s.h.i.+ Niange smiled sincerely. “I ordered the cake online yesterday. When I was about to take it away, I found out that their dessert chef had applied for leave at the last minute. He only came back in the afternoon and started making it right away. I waited for a long time and there was a traffic jam on the way. By the way, when did Miss Ji get married? I didn’t even manage to get a gla.s.s of wedding wine?”
Ji Nuan quickly followed her words and answered. She stepped forward to open the cake s.h.i.+ Niange had brought and took out the candles while pulling s.h.i.+ Niange to sit by the side.
Abruptly, Qin Siting stood up and picked up his coat from the sofa. He casually and coldly said, “I still have something on. I’ll leave first.”
This was the only sentence s.h.i.+ Niange had heard from Qin Siting after coming in. However, it was cold and decisive, as though ice water had been poured over her heart. She paused and stood by the sofa without moving.
Qin Siting left very decisively. He did not even turn back, closing the door behind him. The door seemed to have been slammed shut by him, making a “peng” sound.
The waiter who was bringing in hot fruit juice and a fruit plate was startled by the sound and almost lost his grip.
Ji Nuan asked in surprise, “What happened? Doctor Qin left just like that? You won’t stop him?”
“Stop him?” Li Nanheng took another cigarette from the cigarette box. “He will have to meet her sooner or later. He can leave whenever he wants. This is his own business. No one will stop him.”
Mo Jingshen did not pay attention to s.h.i.+ Niange’s presence. He asked mildly, “What were you thinking bringing her here?”
Li Nanheng said, “I met Miss s.h.i.+ in the US. After all, we’re old friends. It’s my birthday, and she wants to deliver a cake. Although I understand that she isn’t here to celebrate my birthday, I can’t refuse her.”
After speaking, he sneered and said, “She was the one who refused to give up. She knows Old Qin’s temper better than us. She should also understand the consequences of coming here today.”
s.h.i.+ Niange understood.
Of course, she understood.
As soon as Qin Siting left, this place became the scene of his brothers humiliating and reprimanding this heartless woman.
She was already prepared.
Li Nanheng saw that s.h.i.+ Niange had been listening silently. He looked at her and said, “Back then, you were the one who chased him. You were also the one who left as you pleased. Now that you’re back, you insisted on coming even though you knew what his att.i.tude would be. Do you see it now? He won’t even look at you.”
s.h.i.+ Niange suddenly curved her lips. Her gaze was hidden in the shadows of the private room, making it impossible to see her emotions.
At that moment, there was a commotion outside the private room followed by a woman’s sharp cries. s.h.i.+ Niange turned to open the door and saw the scene outside. She walked out.
In the private room, Ji Nuan asked something in confusion. Li Nanheng only said mildly, “Old Qin already knew about what happened to s.h.i.+ Niange’s family, but she didn’t tell him anything. She didn’t trust him at all. She took everything by herself and left as she pleased. Since she’s willing to take it, she should walk it herself. No one can take the path she chose for her.”
Outside.
Not long after Qin Siting walked out of the private room, he did not stop because of the crowd and the cries. However, when he walked past the group of people, he heard the sound of a woman being slapped accompanied by the angry curses of several men. He turned to look at the crowd expressionlessly.
When he saw the woman lying on the ground in a sorry state, his originally cold eyes slowly narrowed. He pushed aside the person in front of him and walked over.
Ling Xuaner?
s.h.i.+ Niange had already walked over. When she saw who the woman on the ground was, she stopped in her tracks.
After the Ling family’s accident, Ling Xuaner disappeared for a long time. What exactly happened? The Qin family and the Ling family had little contact in the past few years. Qin Siting was busy with work, and, in the past few years, he did not have any contact with Ling Xuaner. He did not expect to see her here.
It was even such a miserable state.
Ling Xuaner was crying on the ground. s.h.i.+ Niange stood by the side, her hands tightly clenched into fists. She had no grudges with this lady from the Ling family. She didn’t know what had happened to the Ling family in the past few years, but seeing her like this, she couldn’t bear to watch. However, Qin Siting was here, and there were many other people here too. What ident.i.ty could she use to say and do something?
“Please let me go…,” Ling Xuaner cried.
“Begging? If begging was useful, your family wouldn’t have gone bankrupt! We’ve been waiting in the room for so long, but you f*cking ran away just like that? It’s not as simple as returning eighty thousand yuan after dampening our spirits. You want freedom, right? Then ask the people around you. Those who can come to Zi Jing City aren’t lacking in money. Who will buy you? The price I offer isn’t high. Ten times, how about it? Eight hundred thousand yuan!”
Ling Xuaner cried in despair. Her sharp cries attracted the attention of the people around her, but no one came to help her
s.h.i.+ Niange frowned and was about to step forward when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“I’ll pay.”
She suddenly raised her eyes to look at Qin Siting.
Hearing these two words, Ling Xuaner raised her face in disbelief. When she saw that it was Qin Siting in the crowd, she instantly cried. She didn’t expect to meet him here. After rejecting the marriage, she looked for him for a long time, but he refused to see her. They hadn’t contacted each other for four years. She didn’t expect that at her most desperate and helpless moment, he would be here.
s.h.i.+ Niange also saw that it was Qin Siting who wanted to buy Ling Xuaner. She looked straight in his direction.
Qin Siting said coldly, “I’ll pay. Aren’t you letting her go?”
The people who could appear in Zi Jing City Club were all of the upper cla.s.s. The Qin family was not some small family. Everyone could recognize him with one look. Who dared to offend him?
“Mr. Qin? Are you sure you want to buy her?”
“I won’t repeat myself.” Qin Siting’s tone was cold and without warmth.
That person could only let her go. The moment Ling Xuaner regained her freedom, she staggered in Qin Siting’s direction and threw herself at him.
Qin Siting expressionlessly avoided her outstretched hand. He did not let her touch him and maintained a distance from her. However, he threw the coat in his arms to Ling Xuaner, whose clothes were almost torn. Ling Xuaner did not dare to touch him again. She quickly wrapped the coat around herself and carefully hid behind him.
s.h.i.+ Niange kept looking at Qin Siting, but Qin Siting did not look at her.
