Chapter Seventy-Five: A Midnight Call
Text Chapter Seventy-Five: A Midnight Call
Qin Tianhai felt a dull pain in his heart, which was the last thing he wanted to see.
At the beginning, she hardened her heart and didn't contact her, just thinking that since the two of them couldn't have any results, they simply let her completely let go of herself to find new happiness, but today, she is already an older woman over thirty years old, but she is still in the boudoir, floating alone in a foreign country, this situation cannot but make Qin Tianhai, who once loved her deeply, heartbroken.
"Why does she always refuse to accept others? Did she not meet a suitable candidate?" Qin Tianhai asked Mei Xuesong thoughtfully.
Mei Xuesong smiled bitterly, looked at Qin Tianhai and replied: "It's not that you don't know my sister, she is soft on the surface and stubborn in her bones, who can change what she recognizes? She only has you in her heart, and she can't tolerate a second person." β
Qin Tianhai was speechless, at this moment, he really didn't know what to say.
After a while, Qin Tianhai asked again, "Is her relationship with your father still so stiff?"
Mei Xuesong muttered: "Yes, in the past six years, she has only been home once, and that time, she ran away in anger after arguing with my father, and has never returned to this day." β
"Do you usually call?" Qin Tianhai's voice was already full of sadness that could not be concealed.
"I would make phone calls, and I would call back to greet my father during the Chinese New Year, but my father usually didn't answer, and I or the family maid would answer on my behalf. Mei Xuesong's expression was full of helplessness.
This time, Qin Tianhai was completely silent.
Since the incident happened six years ago, Mei Xuenan and her father Mei Hanming have completely fallen out, Xue Nan feels that her father betrayed his friends, and in the end he ruined the happiness of his own daughter, but Mei Hanming felt that he was a businessman, and he did nothing wrong from the perspective of interests.
Neither of the father and daughter could convince anyone, and in the end, Mei Xuenan left the country in a bad mood, and the father and daughter fought a cold war until today.
This meeting with Mei Xuesong cast a shadow on Qin Tianhai's heart, which was so incompatible with the atmosphere that he was about to become the groom's official.
###
The news that Qin Tianhai and Gu Xinrui are about to get married has been announced within Qinfeng Group, and the joy candy was also sent to the employees of various departments by Qin Tianhai's assistant Li Xiujie.
These employees were naturally very shocked in their hearts, they never expected that President Qinda, who had always been known for his suave and suave and refused to pay attention to the flowers, would be taken into the pocket by an ordinary leftover girl of thirty.
Although the employees expressed their blessings on the surface, all kinds of discussions and speculations in private could not be avoided.
Some people think that Gu Xinrui is profound, and he hides it deeply, so he will unknowingly defeat a *** and capture Qin Dashao's heart.
Some people also speculated that there must be some ulterior transaction behind this marriage, Gu Xinrui is just a vase or a shield, and Qin Dashao is not sincere to her at all.
In short, all kinds of speculations are coming, some with good intentions, and of course some with bad intentions.
Only the minions brought by Gu Xinrui from the "New Talent" magazine expressed their most sincere blessings to her, they all knew how difficult it was for their boss to come this way, and they also deeply believed in her character, so no matter what others were talking about behind her back, they resolutely supported her choice.
###
Before getting married, Gu Xinrui talked to her close friend Yang Yuwei for the last time as unmarried.
The two of them sat in an elegant cafΓ© and enjoyed the afternoon to the fullest.
Yang Yuwei smiled and said to Gu Xinrui: "I didn't expect that you were ahead of me, and you actually got married earlier than me, what a speed." β
Gu Xinrui said with a smile: "Isn't it popular to get married in flash these days?"
Yang Yuwei asked Gu Xinrui matter-of-factly: "I'm about to cross into the city, how is it? Do you feel a little anxious before marriage?"
Gu Xinrui sucked the juice in the cup, her face was full of happiness, and she replied vaguely: "No, I feel very happy." β
Yang Yuwei smiled faintly, looked at Gu Xinrui and said: "I can see it, the way you are dressed now is very different from before, even your complexion is much better than before, it seems that the moisturizing effect of this good thing is really worthy of its reputation!"
Gu Xinrui put down the straw and asked slightly annoyedly: "Why don't you say that it is the effect of being nourished by love?"
Yang Yuwei was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Hehe, love, woman, do you still believe in that ethereal thing? Don't tell me that you married Qin Tianhai for true love." β
As she spoke, Yang Yuwei's gaze stayed on the valuable Patek Feli watch on Gu Xinrui's wrist.
Gu Xinrui was speechless, she lowered her eyes, and after a long time, she said to Yang Yuwei: "Indeed, this is more like a transaction, I gave him freedom, and he gave me material." β
Gu Xinrui's tone was filled with unconcealable loneliness, which could not be covered by her gorgeous appearance.
After a moment, Gu Xinrui raised her head and said solemnly to Yang Yuwei: "However, he is really good to me, at least now I am satisfied, and that is enough." β
"What about after that, if he has another woman after marriage, can you accept it?" Yang Yuwei's tone was aggressive.
Gu Xinrui was silent, and after a moment, she said in a low voice: "Yes, this is what I have acquiesced to before marriage, he will try his best to be loyal to me, but there is no guarantee that he can absolutely do it." β
Yang Yuwei crossed Erlang's legs, stared at Gu Xinrui's eyes fixedly, and after a long time, she said softly: "It's good if you can accept it, I'm just afraid that you are too indulged in the beautiful dream he has woven for you, and you can't see the reality clearly, and you won't be able to accept it then." β
Gu Xinrui looked at her good friend's serious gaze, nodded, and replied in a slightly hoarse voice: "I know, so I won't ......"
Gu Xinrui knows very well in her heart that only real good friends can put themselves in her shoes, and if she is just an ordinary friend, at this moment, she will never say these bad words to ruin her happiness, but will only blindly bless and praise.
###
In the days before the wedding, Qin Tianhai was not busy with Gu Xinrui all day long, and seemed to be enjoying the rare few days of celibacy before marriage.
And Gu Xinrui was also kind enough not to disturb Qin Tianhai and let him be quiet for a few days before marriage.
In the past few days, the two have not lived together, Gu Xinrui lives in her mother's house, and Qin Tianhai lives in his own private villa.
Qin Tianhai handed over all the matters before marriage to his personal assistant Li Xiujie to take care of.
That night, Qin Tianhai sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony, and a small round table was placed beside him, on which was placed a bottle of RomanΓ©e Conti red wine and a goblet.
Unconsciously, Qin Tianhai had already drunk most of the bottle of red wine to Yue alone.
Just then, his cell phone rang.
Qin Tianhai took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a very unfamiliar number, which did not seem to be domestic.
Qin Tianhai frowned and connected his phone: "Hey?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone, only the faint sound of breathing was heard.
"Hey, which one?" Qin Tianhai asked.
"Tianhai, it's me. After a long time, a slow female voice came from there, and at that moment, Qin Tianhai's heart tightened, because this female voice was the beautiful figure that often lingered in his dreams-Mei Xuenan.
"Xue Nan, is that you?" Qin Tianhai grabbed his phone and asked hurriedly.
"It's me, it's me...... Phone number in France. Mei Xuenan's voice trembled.
Qin Tianhai tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Are you over there...... Are you alright?"
Mei Xuenan smiled bitterly and muttered: "It's okay, I set up my own studio, and my career is stable." β
"That'...... What about the emotional aspect?" Qin Tianhai struggled in his heart, and finally asked the topic he was most concerned about.
Mei Xuenan smiled bitterly again, and said in a low voice: "Feelings? I haven't thought about it, it seems that those are far away from me." β
Qin Tianhai's heart sank heavily, and his eyes kept flashing the images of Mei Xuenan's past, the beauty like a flower, the smile like a spring breeze, and the trickling sound like flowing water.
What kind of helpless scene is such a helpless scene for such a peerless beauty who is as brilliant as a flower, but she is alone in an empty house in a foreign country?
"I heard that you are about to get married?" The two were relatively silent, only hearing each other's rapid breathing, and for a long time, Mei Xuenan asked softly on the other side of the phone.
"Yes......" Qin Tianhai replied in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
She ...... Do you love her?" Mei Xuenan muttered, her voice full of sadness.
Qin Tianhai smiled bitterly and replied softly: "It can't be regarded as love, I can only say that I like it very much, her character is very suitable for being a good wife and mother." β
Mei Xuenan's heart gradually sank, and after a long time, she whispered to Qin Tianhai: "That...... Bless you all. β
Hearing this, Qin Tianhai's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said to Mei Xuenan: "Xue Nan, don't hang up yet! Are you okay with your life over there? If it's really not good, go back to China!"
Qin Tianhai didn't know why he said this, but this was completely subconscious, if he didn't know Mei Xuenan's current situation, he might also wishfully think that she was married and had children over there and was living happily, but once he learned about her current situation, he couldn't be indifferent to her current situation.
Mei Xuenan smiled bitterly, and then muttered, "Go back, but is there anything worth my nostalgia there?"
