Chapter 70: Memories
In the blink of an eye, another semester passed, and in late autumn, they hadn't seen Wei Wei since they met her at the Macau casino, and she was also warned by the school to quit school because she was absent from class too much.
Sinian and Tang Shanshan have been trying to contact her, but they have not been able to get in touch.
"Can we just watch her being dropped out of school?" Miss is a little unwilling, they are all in the same dormitory, everyone has a good relationship, Wei Wei is obviously a girl who studies very hard, why did this semester suddenly become like this.
Late autumn is not surprised by this kind of thing, compared to Tang Shanshan and Miss, she doesn't have much affection for Wei Wei, so she doesn't care: "Maybe she is more willing to be supported than to engage in legal work in the future." β
"Packaged?" Tang Shanshan's eyes widened: "You mean that she was raised by Xu Jianshen." β
"Do you think the two of them look like normal boyfriend and girlfriend?" asked Wanqiu rhetorically.
Tang Shanshan remembered that Xu Jianshen was courteous to herself in Macau, and Wei Wei didn't say anything on the side, the two of them really didn't look like normal boyfriends and girlfriends.
"Isn't Lin Xiao in the same bedroom as Xu Jianshen? The two of them seem to know each other very well, why don't you ask Lin Xiao to help ask?" Tang Shanshan still didn't want to give up Wei Wei like this.
Late autumn's mind flashed Wei Wei's nervous and cowardly face in Macau, after all, it was a dormitory, and she was a little soft-hearted, so she agreed.
Lin Xiao and Xu Jianshen are not familiar with each other, but because they are both sons of wealthy families, they can also say two words on weekdays, Lin Xiao asked Xu Jianshen about Wei Wei's current situation, as he expected, Xu Jianshen had already thrown Wei Wei out of the clouds, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Are you talking about the girl in your girlfriend's bedroom? I introduced her to the youngest son of Fortis Bank, I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, has something happened to her?"
Lin Xiao only replied: "You are still the same bastard." Then he hung up the phone.
"Wei Wei is an adult, she knows what she is doing, everyone has their own ambitions, I don't think you need to worry too much. Because of the relationship in late autumn, Lin Xiao was very good to Miss and Tang Shanshan, and often invited them to dinner together.
"It's a pity, she was finally admitted to the University of Hong Kong, and her grades were good, but now she gave up studying to be a mistress to others, what is this picture. Tang Shanshan hated that iron could not become steel.
The word mistress is a bit harsh, and Wang Xiaolei, the mother of late autumn, has been He Mutian's mistress for most of her life, which is well known in high society, and it is also a thorn in her heart.
"Some of the mistresses also have real feelings. Lin Xiao knew that Late Autumn was particularly sensitive to this matter, so he hurriedly remedied: "Especially in high society, many people are forced by family pressure to find the right woman to marry, but they can't be together if they really like it, and some mistresses are actually good girls." β
suddenly thought that when she was in the United States, Qin Fengyan had also tested whether she was willing to be his mistress, and the events of that night were still vivid.
γMemoriesγ
It was an ordinary night in the past two years, due to working late at night, Qin Fengyan was a little tired, he closed the computer, rubbed his somewhat sore eyes vigorously, and wanted to go to the lounge to make a cup of coffee for himself, but when he looked up, he saw Wanqiu holding a paper bag and probing his brain outside his office.
After looking at the time, at two o'clock in the morning, Qin Fengyan frowned and said, "It's so late, why are you here?"
Late autumn walked in cautiously: "I waited for you in the cinema for a long time, and I didn't answer your phone, thinking that you should be busy with work, and then I went home after the movie ended, Zhou's mother said that you haven't come back yet, I called the apartment, and Aunt Wang also said that you were not there, so I thought that you should still be working overtime, so I made some supper." β
Qin Fengyan looked at his phone, there were indeed four or five missed calls, because it was muted, so he didn't pay attention: "I'm sorry, I'm too busy, I forgot to promise to watch a movie with you." "Actually, it's not that I forgot, it's just that I haven't sorted out my mood and don't know how to face her.
Wanqiu hurriedly shook his head: "It's a shame that you didn't come, this movie is boring." β
Late Autumn took out a very small thermos pot from the paper bag, unscrewed the lid, and pulled out the soup and rice inside layer by layer: "The chicken soup was boiled by Zhou's mother today, and it was specially reserved for you, and I made this XO sauce seafood fried rice, you can taste it." β
At this point in his work, Qin Fengyan was indeed hungry, he picked up the spoon and ate two bites, the fried rice was soft and glutinous, delicious, and his skills had improved a lot.
Seeing Qin Fengyan eating with relish, Late Autumn was overjoyed, and grinned silly at the corner of his mouth: "I have learned to cook a lot of dishes now, what curry crab, sauce-flavored pork ribs, red wine stewed beef, if you like it, I can make different suppers for you every day in the future." β
"No need. After eating a few bites of rice, Qin Fengyan felt a little dry, so he picked up the chicken soup next to him and drank two sips: "The food you cook is too salty, I am used to eating lighter food on weekdays." β
"Is it too salty?" Late Autumn was a little frustrated, originally thinking that being salty would bring out the umami of the seafood, but it didn't expect it to backfire
"If you think it's salty, don't eat it. She hurriedly cleaned up the remaining fried rice and touched the teacup on Qin Fengyan's table: "The tea is cold, I'll make you a cup of hot tea." β
"No need. Qin Fengyan pressed Wanqiu's hand: "I don't like to drink tea that is too hot." β
"Oh... Then I'll make you a coffee pick-me-up. β
Seeing Wanqiu doing everything possible to please herself carefully, Qin Fengyan felt stuffy in his chest and felt very uncomfortable: "No need, I'm almost ready to go home, let's go home." β
"Okay. Wanqiu nodded happily.
Qin Fengyan got up to get the clothes on the hanger, and in late autumn, he quickly cleaned up the chicken soup and chopsticks on the table, and the two went downstairs together.
In the underground parking garage, Late Autumn turned on the car with the remote control car key: "You have been working overtime for two nights in a row, you must be very tired, I will drive today." β
"Who told you I worked overtime for two nights. Qin Fengyan stopped.
"Isn't it?, you didn't go home last night and weren't in the apartment..."Seeing that Qin Fengyan's face was not good, Late Autumn was so frightened that he didn't dare to say any more, did he hate himself staring at him like this all the time?
"I didn't work overtime last night. Qin Fengyan's eyes as deep as a pool of water flashed with a moment's hesitation, and then he said apologetically: "I... Last night with Yingzi. β
"With whom?" said Late Autumn almost wondered if something was wrong with her ears.
"Yingzi came to me two days ago, she apologized to me for what happened, and she wanted us to start over. Qin Fengyan knew very well that the apology was not sincere, but he didn't care: "Grandpa also talked to me, hoping that I can forgive her, and hope that we can get engaged as soon as possible." β
Leng Yingzi's departure was beyond Qin Fengyan's expectations, and it did give him a big blow, but her return was in his calculations, if there was no late autumn, rebuilding the old friendship and getting engaged were all within his step-by-step plan, it should have been a matter of course.
β... So... You guys... "Since learning to speak, Late Autumn has never felt that it will be so difficult for me to speak words one day: "... You guys last night... You guys..."
Qin Fengyan nodded calmly, if some words were too complete, it would only embarrass everyone, he looked at Wanqiu and said seriously: "I am grateful for everything you have done for me, without your company, I am afraid this time will be more difficult than I expected." But I can't marry you, my engagement to Yingzi is a matter of two families. β
Late autumn felt cold all over her body, her head was blank, and tears had overflowed her eyes at some point, she raised her head, stared wide, and forcibly prevented it from flowing out: "... Respectful... Congratulations... It occurred to me that Amanda invited me to her birthday party tonight... Or you can drive back by yourself, and I'll go first. β
Qin Fengyan grabbed Late Autumn's arm and didn't let her run away: "... What time is the party? Where are you going? β
"It was an all-night party. Late Autumn struggled a few times and didn't break away, and said in a panic: "... I'm sorry... I didn't know you guys were back together, I didn't know... If I knew... I won't ask you to watch a movie..."
Tears still flowed uncontrollably, she wanted to break away from Qin Fengyan's hand, but the more she struggled, the harder Qin Fengyan became, her arm was scratched very painfully, but compared to the pain of being torn apart by life at the mouth of her heart, it was nothing.
"You calm down. Qin Fengyan pressed Wanqiu's shoulders with both hands and shook her vigorously, trying to calm her down: "Listen to me... I like you very much, I really like it, I can give you anything except marriage, and Yingzi will not have any opinions. β
Late autumn looked at Qin Fengyan with teary eyes, and reacted to Qin Fengyan's "meaning of words" in a slow half beat, and his eyes widened in shock.
Seeing that Wanqiu finally calmed down and stopped struggling, Qin Fengyan slowly let go of the hand holding her shoulder: "It's too late today, I'll send you back first, you can sleep well, I've been very busy in the past two days, and I'm going to New York on a business trip the day after tomorrow, what's the matter, I'll talk about it when I come back." After speaking, he couldn't help but pull Late Autumn into the car.
That night, Wanqiu couldn't sleep, she lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, letting grief run rampant in her heart, tears wetting her pillow and bedding.
