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
As Qingxi was wiping her jacket with a wet tissue, she received a call from Lu Jingzhe. Humming a low sound, she dried her hands before picking up the call."Hello?" She said chirping."Someone sounds happy." Lu Jingzhe said as his mood immediately improved. He was having a tough time explaining things to the executive directors and wanted to have some break.He knew she was the only person who would be able to improve his mood. Even her voice was enough and seeing how happy she was, it immediately turned him happy."I am happy because today is a good day," Qingxi said chuckling.Lu Jingzhe chuckled at her reasoning and wanted to say something else but changed his mind when his kid pulled on his pants."Where are you?" He asked as he looked at the impatient Lu Jing, who was urging him to meet her.Last few months, Lu Jing had been acting
Before Qingxi could react to his voice, Lu Jingzhe grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the chair before pulling her closer to himself, making her collide with his body.The executive directors that were here for the meeting with Lu Jingzhe were all confused as to what was happening. Why was Mr. Lu bullying a man out of nowhere?"I leave you for some time, and this is what you do? Meeting another man and woman with different personalities? What are you doing here, in the first place? Weren't you talking about helping a friend?" Lu Jingzhe asked as he glanced at Wen Ruqing with cold eyes. He still can't forget the fact that he had caught both of them in a compromising position, back at Yun mansion.Then his eyes swept over his childhood friend Tang Jin, who also has built a weird infatuation with Qingxi.Looks like everyone was out there, trying to steal his wife."Well, things turned out thi
"Qingxi, don't be naughty. You have not recovered fully." Lu Jingzhe said as Qingxi tried to come on top of him again."It's been four months since that incident happened. Do you not want to love me?" Qingxi asked as she roamed her leg up and down Lu Jingzhe's body coquettishly."I want to love you, heck I have been thinking about it for a year now. But your health will always be a priority for me.""Please? Just give me some?" Qingxi said as she tried to seduce Lu Jingzhe, who wasn't even allowing her to kiss him.It was their wedding night today.When Qingxi had woken that day after the long operation, the first thing that Lu Jingzhe had asked Qingxi was to get married, but Qingxi had denied him once again.She said she was just blooming in her career, and it will be too much hard work for her to keep their marriage hidden.But Lu Jingzhe this time was adamant about marrying her, and because of that, he used the only way he coul
"No! QINGXI!" Lu Jingzhe, who was too shocked to react earlier, shouted when he saw her falling to the ground like a lifeless doll.Blood was oozing out of her stomach and her complexion was turning paler by each second.Picking her up bridal style, he placed her inside the car before he took out his jacket and wrapped it around her torso. The last time when she had gotten hurt, things were not so severe, and thus, he wasn't feeling so bad at that time, but now that she was shot straight into the stomach, he knew it was life-threatening."Drive faster!" Lu Jingzhe yelled, and it was not long before they stopped in front of a large hospital.Lu Jing, whose eyes were closed didn't know what was happening, but he knew that he is to only open his eyes when his pretty aunt says so, and thus, he kept his eyes closed.As Lu Jingzhe helped Qingxi on a stretcher, Lu Jing heard his dad saying to the doctor,"She was shot in the stomach. Please sav
As soon as Lu Jingzhe received the call from Qingxi, he asked his team, which is always available for any mission, to get ready immediately. Passing them the approximate location that Qingxi had sent, he couldn't help but feel like something bad was about to happen.He didn't want to repeat what happened three years back with his brother and couldn't help but close his eyes as he prayed to God to keep both of them safe."We don't know how many are there and who are they or who had ordered them to do this kidnapping. I want you to guys focus on the safety of my kid that you have already seen many times and a woman who is going to be your lady boss soon. They are to be protected more than how you guys protect me." Lu Jingzhe said before taking out his phone and showing them the picture.All of them saw the picture and nodded as they had remembered the girl. As they were moving, one of the men who was sitting along with Lu Jingzhe and bodyguard Cheng couldn't
"Lu Jingzhe, wake up! Today is Sunday. I had promised Lu Jing to take him out to play on Sundays. Have you forgotten about it?" Qingxi said while almost jumping on top of him."Mmm...come here. Let me sleep more. I rarely get such a good sleep. I think I should start sleeping with you more often to get a good sleep." Lu Jingzhe said while pulling her on top of him again."Lu Jingzhe, we will discuss these things later. First, hurry up and get ready. We need to go to the old mansion." Qingxi coaxed."AHH...I forgot to tell you. I can't accompany you guys today. I have a very urgent meeting today. I am sorry." Lu Jingzhe said solemnly."What are you feeling sorry for? You have work, it's important, we understand." Qingxi said before pecking his lips softly."Mmm..don't tempt me with these kisses. I am already aroused early in the morning, I am afraid if I start kissing you, you won't be to see Lu Jing for the next whole week, let alone today."
"Lu Jingzhe! I am not able to zip the chain with only one hand! Come here this instant!" Qingxi shouted from her room, and her voice echoed in the whole house.It had been one month since the incident with her falling down the stairs happened. The plaster from her hand was already removed, but it doesn't mean she was good to go and was able to do things easily like she used to do earlier.In this one month, Qingxi has almost turned Lu Jingzhe into her maid, she would call him back and forth for even work as small as picking up a fallen spoon.When butler Ho Chen came to know about Qingxi's condition and injury, he had suggested hiring a personal nurse or appoint a maid to miss Qingxi, who will tend to all of her demands but Lu Jingzhe had denied them saying, all if this happened because he couldn't take care of her properly, and now he wants to make up for it by personally taking care of her.And to say Miss Qingxi had made his work harder wou
Placing her in the back seat of his car, Lu Jingzhe hurriedly came to sit in front before starting the car to drive to the nearest hospital as soon as possible.He could see his car seats getting dirty by Qingxi's blood and couldn't help but curse out aloud.It wasn't the car seats that he was anxious about. He was anxious about the amount of blood Qingxi was losing.After 10 minutes of driving with his heart beating at a faster pace than his car was going. He finally parked his car in front of a hospital.Picking her up bridal style, he ran inside the hospital before yelling,"Doctor!! Doctor!!" By this time, he has already thrown his mask and couldn't care less about hiding his identity or anything. The thing that he was more scared about was Qingxi's health."Qingxi! Wake up! Don't close your eyes! Didn't you say you will be staying by my side for the rest of my life as a friend, if not as a wife? I want a healthy friend,
Meanwhile, Qingxi and her family were having a joyous celebration and heart-to-heart talks, the news about Qingxi being the next heir of Xu league enterprise and the real granddaughter of General Yun Bing spread in the country like fire spreads in a bundle of dry leaves.Almost every other netizens were talking about her. Not only she had gained popularity in the entertainment circle because of the rumors clearing and Xialing's tricks, but also in the business circle since she was declared as the sole heir of such a big enterprise.Inside Luo's mansion, when Luo Lin Che saw the news about Qingxi being the real granddaughter of General Yun Bing, she felt like falling to the ground from sky-high.She has always asked her husband (Qingxi's real father) about his family, and their status but every time she would ask him that, he would always turn the question in a different direction.When Luo Lin Che married Qingxi's father, it wasn't because she
"So, she is your granddaughter?" Lu Jingzhe's grandfather asked to confirm his doubts.It was only after he asked that, did the Yun family realized that they were not alone and had company."Is there anyone in the world that I can love more than I love her?" Grandpa Ying Bing said, making Qingxi smile when she suddenly remembered something."Wait, you guys know each other? And why are you guys acting so civil? Shouldn't you be like avoiding each other and fighting each other? If you have a feud between yourselves then don't hide it, no one is here anymore." Qingxi asked, and everyone looks at her quizzically."Jingzhe, I know you stayed because you were scared for me, not knowing the whole truth, but now that you know the truth, you guys can leave. You don't have to sit with your enemies just because you guys care for me. And same is for grandpa Yun bing. If you don't like them, then you don't have to sit here just because I am associated with their
"I can explain," Qingxi said as she looked in the eyes of not only one person but four people who were standing there and gazing at her with a complicated expression. The most prominent of that of General Yun Bing, who was gazing at her with anger."You brat! Come right here! Let me teach you a good lesson. How dare you!" General Yun Bing hollered, and Qingxi, who was too shocked to react, looked at master Xu with accusing eyes."Hadn't I mentioned not to call General Yun Bing and his family to the party?" Qingxi asked as she looked at the people in front of her with a worried expression."I knew you told me to not call him, but I couldn't contain in the temptation and didn't want to miss the fun and such an explicit scene of you being reprimanded by someone. You already had your share making things hard for me, now it's my turn.Don't I know that the only person you fear after your dad is your grandfather. Also, he is my best friend. Do
