Chapter 1600: You Are My Little Love Song (167)
Qin Siting did not respond to the reporter’s words. He did not even look at them. He entered the ambulance. The nurse in the car did not give him any face and directly closed the back door, isolating the noise outside.
In the car, several nurses cautiously looked at the cold-faced Qin Siting.
Qin Siting also glanced at them at this moment. “Why are you looking at me? Is the ambulance a place to be in a daze? Can’t it be operated normally?”
A few nurses rushed to Chairman Qin’s side for emergency treatment. After all, he was Doctor Qin’s father. They were wondering if Doctor Qin had any instructions, but it was clear that in his eyes, every patient was the same. Even his father did not want to remove his s.h.i.+rt for emergency treatment at such a time.
The lights of the ambulance flickered as it rumbled through the hotel entrance.
With one hand, Qin Siting held the monitor in the car and looked at his father’s current electrocardiogram. With the other, he directed the nurses to raise his father’s chin and other emergency procedures. He was steady and composed, his gaze clear and calm.
The car had already gone far away. He did not even look at the hotel again.
The last time he came to the Qin family’s hotel was four years ago.
Back then, because the Qin family and the Ling family were old friends, the fathers of the two families drank a few gla.s.ses of wine at the table and happily decided on the marriage of their children. They suddenly found a day to ask him to meet Ling Xuaner. Qin Siting had just returned from j.a.pan. For some reason, he was suddenly forced to have a fiancée. He did not plan on agreeing at all and rejected her without any hesitation.
He didn’t even plan to meet her.
That day, the Qin family and the Ling family had arranged to have a meal in this hotel. He had no intention of coming.
However, after the sky turned dark, he suddenly received news that s.h.i.+ Niange’s pa.s.sport had landed in the customs and returned to the country. This included the fact that someone had used s.h.i.+ Niange’s ident.i.ty card to book a room in the Qin family’s hotel. This meant that not only would s.h.i.+ Niange return to Hai City that night, she would also stay in this hotel.
After Qin Siting hung up the phone, he came straight over. He had no intention of meeting the Ling family. In the end, he met Father Ling as soon as he arrived at the hotel. Thinking that he had come in a rush, he said a few polite words and called him to the dining table. He forcefully listened to the two families sit there and arrange the so-called engagement.
Qin Siting did not agree, but clearly, his father and grandfather were still waiting for him and did not take his rejection seriously. After all, they had never heard of any girl he liked. The only person who knew that Qin Siting had a girlfriend was his mother, who was far away in j.a.pan.
It was already four years ago. In his daze, he could barely remember the process.
In his impression, Qin Siting had gone to the washroom, and Father Qin had also gone to the washroom. The father and son had chatted, but Qin Siting had never relented. He had never informed him about the matters with the Ling family in advance. There was no need to discuss whether he agreed or not. It was all a joke. There was no way he would agree to this so-called engagement.
What Father Qin meant was that he shouldn’t reject her so thoroughly. He wanted to get along with Ling Xuaner first. Anyway, it wasn’t the right time to get married. Then, he took a call and went out. After returning to his seat, Ling Xuaner didn’t eat much because the food didn’t suit her taste. She said she wanted to eat the desserts from the famous dessert shop across the street. Father Qin gave Qin Siting a look to ask him to buy some. Qin Siting originally planned to use this opportunity to leave, so he went.
In the end, Ling Xuaner followed.
Furthermore, she had been by his side the entire time. One moment, she was talking about this, and the next moment, she was talking about that. The members of the Ling and Qin families were all watching. On account of the fact that Father Ling and the Qin family had been friends for many years, Qin Siting did not shake off Ling Xuaner’s hand in front of the elders. This was to prevent him from shaking off her daughter first and then rejecting the engagement. It would be too damaging to the Ling family’s face, so he had to be a little more tactful. Even if he personally did not like to use such a tactful method at such a time and decided to be more decisive than anything, he still had to consider the face of the two families. He endured for several minutes to cross the road.
After crossing the road, he entered the dessert shop and directly pulled his arm out. After entering, Ling Xuaner saw that there were too many people and her expression immediately turned ugly. She said she didn’t want to queue, so he lowered his head and persuaded her. As for whether she listened or not, what she wanted to eat had nothing to do with him.
After queuing in the dessert shop for a long time and returning to the hotel across the street, Father Ling and his father seemed to be chatting about something. They were in high spirits and the meal only ended after an hour.
Qin Siting avoided the Ling family and Ling Xuaner, who had tried to talk to him several times. He checked s.h.i.+ Niange’s room number and entered the elevator. He went upstairs to her room.
After waiting for an unknown period of time, there was still no movement in the room. However, the front desk confirmed that Miss s.h.i.+ had already checked in. There was also a record of the room card being swiped to open the door. Afterward, they pulled up the recording of the corridor on this floor. They saw that s.h.i.+ Niange had gone out nearly an hour ago. She was wearing a black windbreaker. The windbreaker was not thick, including her thin figure.
He called her but her phone was turned off. He still could not contact her.
Qin Siting instructed the hotel staff to guard the hotel’s doors and immediately informed him when she arrived. He wasn’t sure if she had returned to Li Shui Villa to retrieve something. He went downstairs and directly hailed a car to rush back.
After returning to Lishui Villa, he saw s.h.i.+ Niange standing outside the door for a long time.
After that…
The s.h.i.+da Group moved its entire family to the United States and took root there. After a year or two, or even longer, Qin Siting’s impression of s.h.i.+ Niange was of her in English business magazine he saw on the flight to the United States when he went to help Li Nanheng save Little Feng Ling.
The CEO of the American s.h.i.+da Group, s.h.i.+ Niange.
The woman in the photo was standing in front of a conference table in a building in the financial district of Was.h.i.+ngton Avenue. She was smiling like a flower as she shook hands with a white-bearded old CEO. Her black eyes were mature and steady after the pa.s.sage of time, and she had the shrewdness of a businessman.
The woman in the photo was no longer the little girl who sat in the high school cla.s.sroom and secretly placed a bottle of warm milk on his desk.
She had been treading on the edge of a knife for more than four years in the business world that ate people without spitting out their bones.
“Doctor Qin, should we send him to the emergency room directly, or should we do the same as the others and register first?” The nurse’s voice rang.
Qin Siting glanced outside the ambulance. The car had already driven back to the hospital’s emergency entrance.
“Send him to the emergency room. Little Zhang, go help him register. I’ll go in directly.”
“Okay, Doctor Qin.”
The car door opened and Qin Siting got out of the ambulance. As soon as he entered the hospital, an intern doctor rushed forward to hand his white coat over. Qin Siting raised his hand and pushed it aside. “I’ll go for emergency treatment first. Come with me.”
