S City. Ying Qingcang had not expected Randa to be able to recognize him.
They were at a dinner party event held by Ying Enterprises. At the beginning of this year, Ying Enterprises had managed to secure a permit from the government, which would grant Ying Enterprises the right to use and develop an old city region in the northern part of S City. To Ying Enterprises, this was a big deal, as it would mean a substantial influx of profits within the next five years. Real estate firms, big and small, had sent representatives to attend the party. By making an appearance before Ying Qingcang, they were hoping to increase their likelihood of reaping additional benefits from the event.
Monica stood there, feeling slightly agitated. When she arrived at the party with her guests, she was immediately stopped by Ah Nan. Too bad her quality friend had already rushed inside. Ah Nan had then given Monica the rundown of the situation with Randa. That was when Monica knew
Ying Qingcang rushed to the airport after he got the call. Young Master Shen went with him too. "Things can't go on like this. I think it's best to ask Xin Qing to come back here!" Young Master Shen looked at Ying Qingcang. The man's face had been tense ever since receiving the phonecall just now. The aura he was giving out could probably freeze someone to death. At Young Master Shen's words, Ying Qingcang clenched his fists. "I'm thinking the same. This time I'll bring her back no matter what." Ah Che's call came through again. Ying Qingcang suppressed the fear in his heart and answered the phone. "Young Master, Young Miss had been taken away by William." In that moment, Xin Qing was unable to cry even if she wanted to. She never thought Ailey would do such a thing... "Ailey, hurry up and open the door," Meyer said. His face was abnormally flushed and his clothes were unkempt. He looked utterly dish
Ying Qingcang had gone back to China. He had not spoken a word to Xin Qing when he left, because Xin Qing had made herself clear that she would not return with him even if it killed her. "If you push me again, I'll marry William." Those were the words that had made Ying Qingcang turn around and walk away. On the day he left, Xin Qing caught a glimpse of the plane soaring across the sky above her head. Then she started to cry. Her sobs were so intense that it was as if she was tearing her viscera apart. All that had scared Ah Che so much that he nearly called Ying Qingcang and begged for his return. Young Master Shen stared at Ying Qingcang who had been working non-stop ever since their return from France. Young Master Shen could not stand it anymore, so he said, "Even if you exhaust yourself to death, it'll be no use. You won't be able to get Xiao Qingqing out of your mind." Ying Qingcang was poring over a document. "Who says I'm trying to g
The two of them sat in a coffee shop. "I was busy recently, so I didn't call you," William said, a slow smile forming on his face. "But I haven't forgotten what I said. Xin Qing! Have you come to a decision?" Xin Qing stared at the man in front of her. He was, from all perspectives, the ideal marriage partner. He had money as well as status. He was gentle and polite too. No woman on earth would say no to a man like that! If she had not met Ying Qingcang first, she might have fallen for him. At the thought of Ying Qingcang, Xin Qing's heart stung a little. But she quickly told herself not to dwell on him anymore. Something like yearning and longing would turn into a disaster if it got out of hand... "Actually, nothing happened between us that night, right?" Xin Qing said slowly. Clarity shone through her eyes when she stared at William. William's smile widened. "Indeed, it's like I said. You're a clever girl," William said a bit helplessly. A
"Why are there a few extra lines?" Ying Qingcang stared at the golden scroll in shock. There were now a few additional lines that had not been there the last time he saw the scroll. Instead of answering him, Ying Hao began reading out the words. "After the union between the Ying and the Wei family, should either party be subjected to the workings of evil and bodily contusions, the union must be terminated immediately due to the resulting clash in Four Pillars. Failing to do so would result in the death of one party." When Ying Hao was done reading the lines, Ying Qingcang responded coldly, "Speak human language." "It means that bad luck will befall you if you keep staying with Xin Qing. There will be accidents, mishaps, and things that are life-threatening," Ying Hao said quickly. "It was rare for you to even catch a common cold since you're young, and yet you've recently caught the influenza. Also, why would something smash into you out of
Xin Qing woke up at the hospital. When she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was Zhang Mi... Xin Qing sat up. "What are you doing here?" She asked, puzzled. "Your man knows everything," Zhang Mi said as she poured some water for Xin Qing. "I'm just here as a witness!" "Huh?" Xin Qing did not follow. She felt a little bit light-headed still. The door opened, and Ying Qingcang and Young Master Shen walked in. Xin Qing's gaze immediately went to Ying Qingcang's ear. He was the one who had gotten hurt. How come she was the one who ended up lying here... "The doctor said you've been too stressed lately. Plus, you were in shock. Your body couldn't take it so you passed out," Ying Qingcang said, his eyes never leaving hers. "Now, it's time to settle our score." Xin Qing suddenly felt a bit guilty. "Set... Settle our score? What score?" "That old man said something to you, and you belie
Xin Qing stared at Dianne. When Ying Qingcang had told her that everything that William was the person behind everything that had happened to her, Xin Qing was curious as to how William had managed to pull everything off. As it turned out, he had planted his people beside her all along. No wonder she was framed during that trip to the diamond mind. No wonder she was kidnapped by people from the human trafficking ring... "You don't blame me?" Dianne could not help but ask when she saw Xin Qing's calm and collected look. Xin Qing stared at Dianne. "We aren't close to begin with. So there's really nothing to blame," she said. In fact, Xin Qing had the impression that Dianne was not a willing participant in William's schemes. Otherwise, Dianne would not have acted so indifferently when she approached Xin Qing at first. Dianne would have at least tried to win her trust and become her best friend, since that would be the kind of betrayal that hurt the most.
"Young Master!" Ah Che yelled. All eyes went to Ying Qingcang. They saw blood dripping from the hand that Ying Qingcang had kept under the table. He stood up and walked towards a spot beyond the camera's range. All of a sudden, he staggered and spit out a mouthful of blood. Young Master Shen quickly rushed over to help, but Ying Qingcang waved him off. "I'm good. I just bit myself," he said. Then he held out his hand and saw the blood covering his palm. Sobbing, Aunt Tian began cleaning his wounds. All of a sudden, Ah Sha began wailing. Young children were the sensitive towards emotions. She had already noticed that something was wrong with everyone. Zhang Mi quickly picked up Ah Sha. "I'll take her upstairs and get her to sleep," she said. At times like this, there was nothing she could do to help. Looking after the child was all she could do. Ying Qingcang cleaned himself up and sat back in front of the laptop. "State your conditions."
Xin Qing wanted to poke him, though she did not have the strength to do even that. Ying Qingcang moved his face closer. "Want to kiss me?" "Go... Go away!" Xin Qing glared at him and started coughing. Ying Qingcang did not tease her again after that. "When you're better, I'll do anything you want! Now you just have to lie down and don't move." This was the longest time that Xin Qing had to stay in a hospital. The worst of her wounds was so deep that even her bones were visible through its opening. One of the wounds was found behind her ear, which, according to the doctor, might leave a scar even after plastic surgery. When Zhang Mi found out about it, she urged everyone not to tell Xin Qing no matter what. After all, if the wound was behind her ear, she would never be able to see it anyway. Ying Qingcang did not care much about it at all. Even if Xin Qing's body was covered in scars, she would still be his. But after being educated by Zhang
"Chen Chen!" Ah Zi rushed in. Bear followed Ah Zi in, holding a baby in his arms. "Oh my God. Slow down. You just came out of confinement in childbirth." "Didn't you say you would arrive in a few days?" Chen Chen held her in surprise. Ah Zi stroked her belly. "Tut-tut, you look nice, but don't look very well." "Let me see!" Chen Chen reached out to Bear. Bear handed Chen Chen his son. "Is he beautiful?" he asked proudly. Ah Zi gave him a mean look. "It's because he looks like me. If he looks like you, he'd be called as Bear Minor." "I don't think that his current name is as good as Bear Minor!" Chen Chen twitched her lips. When Ah Zi gave birth to her son, she called Chen Chen and told her that her son's nickname was Nian Gao. Chen Chen could not believe it and asked why, and Ah Zi explained it this way. "Because of Tuan Zi! Nian Gao sounds like the name of T
Chen Chen jumped behind the stone statue, finding that its head was empty and there was a raised round part inside. She reached out and pressed it, but nothing happened. After twisting it clockwise, she suddenly heard a clicking sound, and a passage appeared right in front of the statue. "Sure enough..." Chen Chen jumped down, took out a bag of white powder from the backpack and sprinkled it on herself. Next, she took out a gun that she had stolen out of nowhere. When she was ready, she slowly walked down the passage against the wall. A dirty light bulb hung from the top of the stone wall. The passageway was not long, and she could see a wooden door at the end. Chen Chen carefully pushed open the door. Through the slightly opened door, she found that the stone wall inside was polished to be smooth, and someone even had papered it. To ensure safety, she threw in a stone. After it rolled over, nothing happened. "Che
When all the sand slipped through the pore of the hourglass, Chen Chen received a call from Wan Qingsi, who did not say anything over the phone, except that they would return tomorrow. "Tuan Zi, I feel that your father must be in trouble." Wan Qingsi did not give her a chance to speak. He clearly knew that she was worried about Jiang Rui, but didn't even mention him. "Mom, maybe Dad is so tired and falls asleep!" Tuan Zi gave her a pat. She was about to go on comforting her, but the phone rang again. Chen Chen was surprised to see the number, and she picked up the phone. "Yiyun?" Zhou Yiyun sat by the bed, staring blankly at Scar who was unconscious. "Yiyun..." Chen Chen walked in quietly. Zhou Yiyun looked up and smiled at her. "You are here!" "What did the doctor say?" Chen Chen sat next to her, looking at Scar whose face was covered with wounds. "Why does he keep sleepi
Long Zhen'ao walked up to Scar and stared at him for a long time. After seeing that he did not respond, he turned around and yawned, saying, "It's boring. Let's go. I'll get some sleep." "Remember to come and see them tomorrow," Kutcher reminded him. "I got it." Long Zhen'ao had already left, waving his hand casually. The island in the night was like a sleeping giant turtle. Some figures went through the forest in the moonlight. "Boss, Long Zhen'ao is here." Xiao Si pointed to the blue spot on the locator. "He has turned off the monitors on this path." Jiang Rui looked around, and said, "Just stay here and wait for my order. I will go with Bear." Along the route marked by Long Zhen'ao on the locator, Jiang Rui and Bear successfully found Long's room. "Hurry to change your clothes." Long Zhen'ao threw two black uniforms just like the one he wore. "Scar is in a bad condition, but Zhou Yiy
But Jiang Rui stopped her. "No, we can't get through to them." Chen Chen stared at him motionlessly and asked, "Why?" Jiang Rui put the luggage away and took out all the gifts she brought back. "Brother Xiao Rui?" Chen Chen asked with a look of panic, "Is something wrong?" Holding her in his arms, Jiang Rui slowly said, "Last night, I received a call from Xiao Si, and he said that he had lost contact with Scar..." "What does it mean to lose contact?" Chen Chen held him by the sleeve. "Are they missing?" Jiang Rui gave Chen Chen a pat to comfort her. "Scar gets a locator with him. But yesterday, Xiao Si suddenly found that the locator didn't work, so he called Scar but Scar's phone was switched off. He turned to call the landline and no one answered it." "What, what do you mean?" Chen Chen didn't want to say the answer she thought. "Liuliu." Jiang Rui looked a
Jiang Rui was acquitted. Before everyone knew what happened, news had come that the Lu family had been sealed up. Then it was revealed that Lu Tao had something to do with the death of both his cousin and grandpa. When everyone was understanding this news, a ten-year-old child appeared and said that he was Lu Tao's son, but his mother was killed by Lu Tao. As the public were overwhelmed by the waves of news, Chen Chen was looking at Jiang Rui with a meaningful look. "Come here." Jiang Rui waved at her. "Why do you sit so far away from me?" The man just took a shower, with a faint smell of soap. Chen Chen threw herself into his arms. "Brother Xiao Rui..." "What's wrong?" Jiang Rui pinched her ears. He hadn't hugged his lady for several days. He missed her very much. Chen Chen looked up and said with compassion in her eyes, "It's pitiful to be your enemy. They could be always killed someh
Jiang Rui told Chen Chen about the long story. Chen Chen didn't clearly understand some complicated parts, but she knew Jiang Rui would be fine, and that's enough. "Be a good girl. I'm sorry for leaving you alone at home these days. If you're afraid, you can invite Zhou Yiyun home." He had originally wanted Tuan Zi to accompany Chen Chen, but in that case, Chen Chen would feel that something was wrong. In order to reassure her, Jiang Rui had to make no other arrangements, but he still didn't feel relieved to leave her alone at home. "Don't bother. I'm not a kid." Chen Chen was finally relieved. Her sweet voice made Jiang Rui's heart so itchy. Later, he hushed Chen Chen to sleep. He didn't hang up the phone until there were uniform breathing sounds over the other side of the phone. Jiang Rui rubbed his paralyzed arm and stood up. "Come in." Bai Ziqi opened the door and came in. It was a
Once Jiang Rui had dinner with some government officers and was then arranged to rest in a hotel room. Zhou Yiyun was lying naked on the bed at that time, stubbornly looking at Jiang Rui with tears running down her face. But Jiang Rui only took a look at her and left in stride. "After Chief Jiang left, Scar came in." Zhou Yiyun said with a self-deprecating smile, "He said that I could stay until dawn, and asked me to keep my mouth shut." Chen Chen sighed. "It seems that Scar gave you a bad first impression! Is that why you turned him down?" "No." Zhou Yiyun shook her head. "It's my own problem." She asked Chen Chen, "If a man saw you in an extremely awkward position, will you develop a romantic relationship with him?" After hearing that, Chen Chen finally understood what Zhou Yiyun meant. She felt self-abased... "But that's all over!" Chen Chen felt it was a pity. Zhou Yiyun also liked
When they returned to the ward, the doctor was dealing with Zhou Yiyun's wound. "Miss Zhou, you will be certainly scarred in the future. Would you like me to introduce a surgeon to you?" Beside them, Scar said gruffly, "No. I'll arrange everything." The doctor had been scared almost to death by the man who was releasing the cold and dark air. After hearing that, he nodded immediately. "That's okay. Remember to change the dressings every day. Aside from your arms, your face needs more care." "Yiyun." Chen Chen held her with red eyes. "You can rest assured that I will make medicine for you, and that I won't allow you to be scarred!" After experiencing such a dangerous situation, Zhou Yiyun was very weak at the moment, yet she tried hard to give Chen Chen a smile. "It's okay. Anyway, the plastic surgery is so developed now that the scar can be removed." "You... You..." Chen Chen cried too hard to say an
