As soon as Qingxi came out of the room in which she was locked, the leader of the opposite gang, who had been talking with Lu Jingzhe seriously and imposing a strong aura, suddenly stood before rushing towards Qingxi.
Seeing the leader rushing towards his boss's guest, the leader of the guards, immediately stood on guard between Qingxi and the opposite leader.
He didn't want anything to happen to the girl, anything that could taint his boss's reputation.
"You better back off from our miss, how dare you even think about going towards our miss when we all are on stand? I won't think twice before killing you if you dare as much as touch a strand of her hair." The leader said as he looked back at Qingxi, wanting to persuade her to go back inside the room.
"You go inside, miss. This is not something that you should see. Please cooperate with us. We are doing it for your safety and well-being. We will call
On the 10th floor of the large building owned by the Cobra gang for both gang handling and business, a man clad in a blue suit entered the room, and threw a file on the couch.Looking straight at the person, who was sitting on the couch, he asked,"Why wasn't I informed that Lan Ting was back? And why the hell is he not contacting me? Who asked him to go on a new mission without my permission?" He asked."How would I know about that, Jones? When I reached here on the 9th floor wanting to take the file of our silver Project, I heard people talking about a new guy entering the 10th floor. When I asked Hong Qui, he told me Lan Ting was back. How would I know that he would go on a mission as soon as he came back?" Mo Ming said as he tried to pry his eyes away from the stare of Jones."So you didn't know anything? Why don't you say it while looking at me? You do know something about this mission. Don't y
After sitting in Lan Ting's car, the first thing she did, was calling Wang Jie."Hello? Qingxi? Where the hell were you today? I tried to find you in all the places in the hotel. Then I decided to check on the reception, and they told me that you checked out. Wasn't it, your idea to go back together?" Wang Jie started shouting once the call connected."AHH...don't shout in my ear. I can hear you pretty well. It wasn't my fault, okay? All I can say for now is that I had a situation. Let's meet the day after tomorrow, and I'll explain everything to you." Qingxi said."The day after tomorrow? Why not today? I am already back in the city. Tell me where we can meet." Wang Jie asked as he ordered a glass of juice in a restaurant."Not today. I am going to meet Chu Xuelo today. She said there was something she needed my help with." Qingxi said as she groaned."That, famous actress, that
Qingxi, who was already pissed at Chu Xuelo for calling her into this mansion again, suddenly stopped in her tracks when she saw Grandpa Chu and almost all the family sitting in the living room.To say that she regretted coming back here would be an understatement."Sir, madam, miss Qingxi had arrived." Miss Becca suddenly said, making her jump out of her thoughts as she put on her stoic monotonous face again.Striding towards the sitting area where everyone was seated, Qingxi looked at Chu Xuelo before turning around and greeting his family."Mr. Chu, Mrs. Chu, Elder Chu, brother Chu, hello everyone." She said, without as much as showing even a polite smile on her face.Everyone was shocked at her way of greeting them. They were not at all prepared for that type of greeting from her. They knew that it was going to be hard pleading to her for her forgiveness but they didn't
"I am not angry at you. Don't bother with it. It's not wrong to protect your granddaughter when you think that the person in front of you is wrong for her or would mislead her." Qingxi said in the same monotonous tone.Grandpa Chu didn't know how to continue after that, he wanted her to cry, get annoyed or just become angry, but he didn't know how to deal with this stone-faced girl who was always like a happy little bubble earlier and couldn't help but look at his daughter in law for some help.Mrs. Chu, who understood his meaning immediately stood,"Qingxi, I have prepared your favorite noodles today. Why don't we all talk while eating." She said as she looked at her expectantly."I already have dinner plans with someone," Qingxi said, without as much as a single hint of emotions on her face.After hearing her words, Mrs. Chu's face immediately fell, and her smile stifled as she
Qingxi entered the hall, with a face that was much more tolerable than her previous cold one. She wasn't particularly smiling but looked more approachable this time. Her eyes were glistening and looked soft like a ray of sunshine rather than the cold desert that was brewing in them earlier."The table is ready. Let's move towards the table to eat." Grandpa Chu said as he motioned for everyone to move towards the table and held Qingxi's hand, who was closest to him involuntarily.It was a habit from five years back, to hold her hand and lead her to the dining table whenever they had eaten together, but Qingxi, who wasn't so close to someone after soo many years, froze in her place as she looked at the intertwined hands with an alien gaze.The hand that was holding her hand felt warm and was filled with soo much warmth that her lips quivered as she tried to form some words but couldn't because of the overflow of the
After everyone ate noodles, they all gathered in the living room to talk a bit more."So, Qingxi, what have you been doing these past years?" Mrs. Chu asked, not wanting to pick up any rough topic."Nothing significant. Got myself signed in an entertainment university in Canada, and became a part of a gang, and then came back here as soon as I was done with the exams of the final semester." Qingxi said as she shrugged."Gang? What type of gang?" Grandpa Chu asked worriedly."Oh, not that kind of gang. It was actually about fighting for the rights of people to save people from getting bullied and all that stuff you know?" Qingxi said causally.Hearing her causally saying and using the word gang, everyone thought it might be some social gang thing that they do in foreign countries."If you don't mind us asking, can you tell us what happened that night Qingxi? W
Everyone was quiet.Nobody knew what to say to her or how to console her. They wanted to say that it was going to be okay. But wasn't it too late to say something like that?They wanted to say that they were with her and that she wasn't alone. But again, the moment when she needed them the most has already passed. What will they do now after five years when she had suffered all alone for soo many years?They looked embarrassed, ashamed, shocked, surprised, and more than anything, they felt completely helpless."And about the day when I came here drenched, looking like a homeless cat, I came to know that Xialing and that bastard Gao Ying had been in a relationship from past few months or should I say more than a year since they always ventured together, and had developed some physical feelings for each other that eventually turned into love as they had said, and the engagement was called off by
Parking her bike in front of the Imperial Hotel, she looked towards the grand hotel as the old memories started creeping in.Sighing loudly, she went inside the hotel, straight towards the restaurant where Wen Ruqing was waiting for her.Yesterday, she had spent all night in Chu Xuelo's house because Chu Xuelo and Wen Ruqing were trying to explain things to her. Like what she'll have to do and how she is going to help Wen Ruqing reject a guy.The guy's mother has arranged this date, and Wen Ruqing had no choice but to attend the date because even her parents wanted this high-end friendship to turn out into a relationship.He was a good guy according to Wen Ruqing, but the only problem was, Wen Ruqing wasn't ready to tie knots with someone just so early. She wanted to explore the world and try in the fashion industry and modeling, which was her dream.Qingxi was dresse
