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
In the parking lot of a building, few men were standing armed with heavy ammunition as they waited for their boss to arrive and give them further details on how to proceed with the new task given to them, which was specially asked to be done as soon as possible.Soon they heard the roaring engine of their boss's bike, indicating that he was near the building or entering the parking space.As soon as their boss stopped the bike, all the men that were standing casually earlier stood on alert, not wanting to anger their boss and Carl immediately rushed towards his boss as he started inspecting his face to judge how bad or good his boss's mood was."Boss, everyone is ready as instructed by you," Carl said before taking out the design plan of the house, whose coordinates were provided to them by the agent. However, their boss signaled for him to keep the plan away as he would decide about the plan near the destination only."What's the case?" Karma asked as he
Going towards the area where there was no man spotted by the drones, Karma signaled Marx to follow him closely as he took out the machine.Karma threw the ropes with the help of Marx, who held the machine in his hands, towards the upper part of the mansion before pulling on it to check it was stable enough. Giving a thumbs up to Marx, he signaled for him to go first and launched another rope for himself.After climbing through the walls, they entered the terrace of the mansion and looked around if there was any man there. They couldn't spot any man on the terrace, however, before they could turn left, he saw a man on Marx's left, who was approaching very closely, and without warning shoot him straight in the head."You better watch out for yourself!" Karma reprimanded, more like commanded, with worry-laced eyes before he broke the glass window, and entered the inner corridor that leads to the terrace."Karma, wait for me!" Marx said as he followed closely
After freeing the men from the chains, karma signaled everyone to exit the basement because the sight and smell were too gruesome for him to handle.Meanwhile, in the province, Lu Jingzhe and Jones were pulling their hairs trying to figure out where the hell Qingxi went."Did you check the CCTV footage of Jing road?" Jones asked as he looked at Mo Ming questioningly."Why would I check the footage of the opposite area? Didn't we see her going towards the Lan mountains?" Mo ming asked as he looked up from the screen on which he had been working for the last one hour to check where the hell Qingxi's bike disappeared."Didn't I told you to check every lane of the province within 50km reach?" Jones asked, feeling both annoyed and angry."No need. The bike was last seen near the Lan mountains only. After that, it disappeared into the forest." Lu Jingzhe said as he entered the cabin in which Jones had been trying to locate t
