Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C30
Just when Lin Qingrou was feeling happy that her wounds were about to be dissected, she didn’t expect that she would get some bad news from He Zheng.
She still remembered the afternoon when Zhang Lin rescued her. She could still see the dark red blood flowing along the ground to her feet. He left in such a hurry that he did not even have the chance to look at his child. But it was his wife who was in more pain than he was. Lin Qingrou had thought about whether or not she should visit her, but every time before leaving, she would be persuaded not to touch her sore spot. But now, Lin Qingrou didn’t expect that the next time she heard about them, it would be Zhang Lin’s wife committing suicide.
It was said that she often lost her spirit after the birth of her child. At first, everyone thought that she would feel better after seeing her child, but on the sixth day of her child’s birth, she jumped down from the 22nd floor without any reluctance. On that day, it was Zhang Lin’s seventh head.
However, what was more lamentable was that the remaining child was also sent to an orphanage because he had no one to raise him.
Lin Qingrou suddenly felt her throat tighten, as if she was unable to breathe. It was as if the air itself was filled with the reek of blood and suffocation. She even blamed herself. If she had gone to visit and accompany her back then, would something like this have happened?
It should have been a relaxing day, but right now, Lin Qingrou’s mood was so heavy that he couldn’t muster up any interest. She stood on the balcony and carefully looked down. Her eyes couldn’t help but feel a bit dizzy. Lin couldn’t figure out how desperate people had to be to jump off a building.
She just sat at home like this for the entire day. It wasn’t until the evening when Ye Qingming arrived that she was able to muster up a bit of interest.
Ye Qingming finally understood why she was so depressed and slowly said, “I know what you’re talking about.”
Lin Qingrou looked at him.
“The child has been sent to the orphanage. He is in good condition.”
“Will anyone adopt him?”
“I’m not sure, but that’s not within the scope of our hospital’s management.”
Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou and asked, “What, do you still feel uncomfortable?”
Lin Qingrou shook her head, but she was still worried.
Ye Qingming took a deep breath and said slowly, “Last month, the hospital’s ambulance picked up a pregnant woman who was about to give birth. After risking many dangers, they finally managed to help her give birth to her child. But later on in the examination we found that both mother and child were very ill, and the mother was sick and passed on to her son, syphilis, liver disease. However, there is nothing we can do about it. This is already the truth. ”
“Last week, an obstetric woman died as a result of an amniotic fluid embolism, leaving behind a pair of phoenixes. But in the end, the father wanted the hospital to lose money, so he insisted on keeping the child in the hospital as a hostage and didn’t bring the child home until now. ”
Lin Qingrou was stunned, she said blankly, “If you’re a doctor for a long time, will your heart become cold and hard?”
Ye Qingming smiled bitterly, “Viruses and accidents will not be treated with kindness. What should come will eventually come back.”
Seeing that, Lin Qingrou probed, “If your enemy was sick and needed your help, what would you do?”
“Of course we try our best to revive him first. Whether I save him or not is my responsibility as a doctor. As for whether I hate him, that is my private grudge. How can it be confused with my work? ” Ye Qingming said without any hesitation.
“Then… Would you be in danger if you saved him? If only one of you lives, what will happen? ” Lin Qingrou refused to cross the line and asked again.
Ye Qingming looked at Lin Qingrou doubtfully, “Why are you suddenly asking such a strange question?”
Lin Qingrou pestered him.
Ye Qingming thought for a moment before his face suddenly darkened. He said in a serious tone, “If it’s really like this, then the only thing we can do is …”
“How is it?” Lin Qingrou’s eyes widened as she looked at him, feeling uneasy.
“Then we must revive him.” Ye Qingming suddenly smiled.
Lin Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief as she watched him relax after his joke. She had a feeling that Ye Qingming was different from the rest of the Ye Family. Perhaps it was because of this reason that Lin Qingrou felt slightly comforted.
Finally, after Lin Qingrou recovered from the injury on her leg, she could go to work. She arrived at her office early on Monday morning, and just as she sat down, she heard He Zheng’s voice. “Sister Lin, you’re finally at work. A lot of things have happened recently. ”
As she spoke, she put down her bag and said, “Qin Yang has been transferred to the main office. I don’t know the details. Last week, a new director arrived. He looked serious, and he didn’t seem to be getting along well. We all call him Medusa in private. ” He Zheng stuck out his tongue.
Lin Qingrou looked at the tightly shut door of the chairman’s office and smiled, “Is it because just a single glance at him can turn you into a rock? But the company paid a lot for him to come, so he probably has a lot of work capacity too. ”
He Zheng said with a bitter face, “You’re right. We’ve already experienced your absence in the past few days.”
Lin Qingrou was enlightened.
“Lin Qingrou, someone is looking for you.”
Lin Qingrou looked over and actually saw Quan Wei standing at the door. She could not help but walk up to greet him with suspicion.
However, Quan Wei waved her hand. She didn’t seem to care at all as she said, “Let’s find a time to have a good chat.”
“Of course, but not now.”
“Alright, I’ll send you the address at lunch time.”
Quan Wei stared coldly at Lin Qingrou, a faint sneer hanging on her lips.
Lin Qingrou agreed, but when she turned around, she remembered Ye Qingming’s reminder: Don’t get in touch with the Ye Family in private.
However, there was nothing Lin Qingrou could do. Even though she had heard his words, she couldn’t do anything about it. Because she was not like Ye Qingming on the surface, she could not keep her distance from them as Ye Qingming had told her to.
Lin Qingrou suddenly felt a chill in her heart. If Ye Qingming knew the truth, what would he do? Lin Qingrou could not imagine it, because other than the person in question, no one else would understand what was going on. No one would understand every bit of grief and despair.
Surprisingly, Lin Qingrou did not see this new director for the entire morning. She hurriedly finished her work that she had left behind. When it was near noon, she remembered that she had an agreed meeting with Quan Wei.
Lin Manchu politely declined He Zheng’s invitation to lunch, and went to the appointed place by Quan Wei alone.
As expected, Quan Wei had long since been waiting there.
“Take a seat, I’ve already ordered a cup of green tea for you.” Quan Weiwei said with a smile.
Lin Qingrou looked at her, seemingly not used to her overbearing expression.
Lin Qingrou replied straightforwardly, “If you have something to say, just say it. There’s no need to be so polite between us.”
Quan Wei pretended to be surprised. “I didn’t expect you to be so bold as to come out alone to meet me. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll throw acid at you?”
“Stop joking! If you want to pour sulfuric acid on me, it’s Xing Ruo Nan who will do the same. It’s not your turn yet.” Lin Qingrou took out her tea bag and placed it on a plate. Then, she took a light sip of tea. At this moment, she quickly thought about what Quan Wei had said. Lin Qingrou had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn’t figure out where exactly it was wrong.
Quan Wei looked at her as her eyebrows gradually pressed down on her lips.
“Are you really determined to get married?”
“Of course, we have already agreed that we will prepare for the wedding when my injuries recover.” Lin Qingrou’s words were magnanimous, so she looked at Quan Wei without fear.
Quan Wei stared at Lin Qingrou. She suddenly laughed coldly, “Are you really ready? Aren’t you afraid of another accident happening? For example … “This …” As she spoke, Quan Wei took out a stack of photos from her bag and placed them on the table, pushing them in front of Lin Manshou.
Lin Qingrou looked down and could not help but feel her heart pounding. However, after she carefully examined it, she tried her best to remain calm and asked, “This is a photo of me at the cemetery. What about it?”
At this moment, Quan Wei unhurriedly pointed at the person in the photo and asked, “Tell me, what’s your relationship with this person?”
Lin Qingrou cast a glance at him and said casually, “He’s my uncle, what’s wrong?”
“Uncle?” It’s one thing for you to lie to others, but you want to lie to me? The first time we met, you went to worship him, so don’t think that I didn’t know about it. ”
“So what if you know? “He’s my uncle. Although his relationship with my mother is quite ordinary, I often go and pay my respects to him. So what’s wrong with that?”
She was sure that even though Quan Wei suspected that Lin Zhiheng was her father, she didn’t have any evidence. That was because Lin Qingrou clearly remembered that when her aunt and her uncle’s family adopted her, they specifically removed all possible evidence that Lin Zhiheng and her had intersected. Therefore, Lin Manshou did not believe that a single Qiangwei was stronger than her uncle, Cheng Jianguo, who was a police officer.
Surprisingly, Quan Wei actually started laughing, she couldn’t help but clap her hands, “Amazing, Miss Lin. You’re still not admitting to it even though it’s so obvious.” You still don’t know what happens when a dead duck tries to argue back? ”
Lin Manchu pretended to be confused, “I’m not sure about that, but I have something I want to show you. Maybe after you’ve seen it, you’ll tell me what it feels like to be stubborn?”
“Lin …” Quan Wei looked at Lin Qingrou suspiciously, only to see her take out a thick brown paper bag and place it beside her hand. “Look, there are so many of them, I wonder if you’ve finished reading them all.”
Quan Wei vigilantly pinched the bag with her hand. Then, she quickly circled around the cotton thread. After opening the bag, she took out the documents inside. She didn’t know exactly what Lin Qingrou wanted to show her, but when she saw the third part of it, she suddenly felt like she had been electrocuted and threw the bag of things in her hands onto the table. For a moment, a few pieces of paper scattered all over the floor.
Lin Qingrou asked with genuine concern, “How is it? Are you satisfied?”
However, how could Quan Wei be such a impatient person? She chuckled lightly, sipped her coffee and said, “What does Qin Yang cheating and corruption have to do with me?”
“Of course it has nothing to do with you, but I just gave you a few bags and bought a few watches. If the police ask, I can go with your brother to the jail and testify for you. ” Lin Qingrou hid a knife in his smile, but every word he said stabbed at Quan Wei’s heart.
She could not allow Qin Yang to be exposed. Even if Quan Wei did not care what others thought of her, she still cared about what Ye Qingming thought of her. If something really happened, it wouldn’t matter if she was implicated. More importantly, she didn’t want Ye Qingming to look down on her, nor did she want him to think that she was someone who could sell everything for money. Because that was something that he despised and that was something that Quan Wei didn’t want to see.
Lin Qingrou looked at the uneasiness on Quan Wei’s face as it turned deathly pale. She couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. This was because she wasn’t sure if this bill would affect Quan Wei or not. Originally, she had brought them here just in case she had something to back her up, but she didn’t expect that Quan Wei would actually beat her to it. That was why she had no choice but to hand over the bill, hoping that she would weigh the pros and cons and act with caution.
At this moment, both Quan Wei and Lin Qingrou looked at each other casually, but the truth was that their hearts were already surging with emotions. They were each considering their own countermeasures, and neither of them was sure if they should take the first step.
After a few seconds, she finally avoided Lin Qingrou’s gaze and said, “You can’t tell my brother about this matter today. This is between Qin Yang and me.”
Of course, Lin Qingrou didn’t want to tell Ye Qingming about this, so she didn’t say anything in tacit agreement.
Quan Wei looked at the photo on the table, then looked at Lin Qingrou.
Lin Qingrou said straightforwardly, “Since I’m not saying anything, I don’t think there’s any need for you to say anything. “Anyway, it’s all just nonsense. No one would believe it even if they didn’t say it out loud.”
Although Quan Wei was still unwilling in her heart this time, the weakness in her hands was, after all, worthless, so she had no choice but to give up.
“Alright, let’s do it like this for now then. Of course, I can promise you that I won’t do anything else, but others … I can’t guarantee it. ”
“I understand. You don’t have to worry about that.”
Finally, the meeting between Quan Wei and Lin Manrou ended like this.
Lin Qingrou walked out of the store alone. She tore a few photos apart and threw them into the trash can. At this moment, she felt like a runner who had just finished a long run and had no other thoughts or goals. She only felt exceptionally tired and confused.
She suddenly felt tired as she had to maintain a tense and vigilant life.
But for her father, Lin Qingrou had to face everything, carry all the burdens and walk alone. No one could do anything for her, and no one could free her. At this moment, she seemed to have understood what Zhang Lin’s wife was thinking when she committed suicide.
In that instant, Lin Qingrou regained her senses. She slapped her face in annoyance, blaming herself for thinking such ridiculous thoughts.
If he was not even afraid of death, would he be afraid of living?
Liu Yuxi finished his lunch break, and just as he returned to the company, he suddenly received a call from Lin Qingrou.
“What’s wrong? What new discoveries have you made? ” she asked.
“I need a man,” she said, embarrassed.
“Men?” Liu Yuxi’s mouth was wide open, and his face was filled with the words “You’ve gone mad”.
Lin Qingrou smiled helplessly and explained, “Please help me cook dinner tonight, please.”
Liu Yuxi thought about it and immediately understood.
“Alright, it’s all on me.” Just as she was about to hang up, she suddenly thought of something and asked, “Is your brother alright?”
Lin Manrou thought for a while and said, “He’s staying in B City to do some projects. Why do you want to see him?”
“Uh, no, no. How could I? Don’t spout nonsense. I’ll see you tonight after I hang up the phone.”
After saying that, Liu Yuxi crazily pressed the red button to cut it off a few times. He looked around uneasily, afraid that a Cheng Yun would appear out of nowhere.
When she calmed down, she finally had time to think about what Lin Qingrou had just said. Liu Yuxi thought about it for a while, and finally decided on Xu Zice.
However, when she appeared at the restaurant with Xu Zice in the evening, Lin Qingrou was quite surprised.
“I really don’t understand. You have so many outrageous things by your side, why do you need to love Xu Caiqiu single-handedly?”
Liu Yuxi rolled his eyes and said unhappily, “Xu Caiqiu is Xu Caiqiu, she can’t be compared with others. Besides, do you know why I let Xu Zizi come?”
Lin Qingrou shook her head.
“Because he doesn’t like women, he doesn’t have any presumptuous thoughts about you, do you understand? Otherwise, if you end up losing both your husband and your soldiers, you might even get set on fire. ”
“What did you say?!” Lin Manmei’s eyes widened as she looked at Liu Yuxi.
Liu Yuxi nodded with a helpless look on his face.
Lin Qingrou could only say, “Okay, I just think it’s a bit of a pity to have such a person. What I mean is, it’s a pity that he’s so good-looking and has such a good gene. Of course, I don’t mind his orientation at all. ”
Liu Yuxi pouted and smiled, “That’s right, we are all good friends. Don’t forget that he is Qin Yang’s direct superior, understand?”
Lin Manshui understood, and walked towards the door with Liu Yuxi.
“Ai, wait.” Liu Yuxi suddenly said.
“What’s wrong?”
“Have you notified Ye Qingming?” Liu Yuxi asked.
“Now is not the time,” Lin Manrou said while she was tidying her hair.
The two of them walked into the room and greeted Xu Zizi. Then, the three of them sat down at the table.
Lin Qingrou smiled sweetly, “Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule, Boss Xu. I’m very grateful.”
Xu Zizi nodded, not being modest at all. “I heard that Miss Lin is a media worker. I wonder what kind of work she is mainly involved in?”
Seeing this, Lin Qingrou took advantage of the time between the glasses of wine to explain the similar questions to Xu Zice.
After three rounds of drinking, Liu Yuxi picked up his phone and said, “My company has some matters to attend to, so I’ll go out and make a call.”
As she said that, she walked out in a daze. The moment she closed the door, she regained her consciousness. Then, she found a quiet corner and called Ye Qingming.
“Not good, Man Rou is drunk in the restaurant, hurry up and come pick her up!” Liu Yuxi’s tone was urgent, but she tried her best to make it clear to Ye Qingming.
Sure enough, Ye Qingming immediately understood Liu Yuxi’s meaning. After memorizing the address, he immediately drove over there.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Liu Yuxi forced a smile and pretended to be drunk before returning to the private room.
Xu Zice asked with concern, “Are you alright? Do you want me to send you back? ”
Liu Yuxi hurriedly waved his hand, “Don’t, I’ve already called someone to come pick me up. However, I’m not on the same side as her, so I’ll have to trouble you to send her home. ”
Xu Zichao had no choice but to agree to her request. He then walked her back to the taxi and returned to Lin Manrou’s side.
Lin Qingrou couldn’t help but ask, “It’s a little hot here, why don’t we go outside and have some tea?”
Xu Zice felt a little dizzy, so he agreed and went with her to sit in the first floor tea room to sober up. Lin Manrou brought him a cup of tea. Just as she was about to pour a cup for herself, she suddenly saw through the window that Ye Qingming’s car was slowly driving towards the parking lot.
Lin Qingrou looked at her watch. It had only been twenty minutes. Normally, it would take at least 30 minutes to get from his house to here. It seemed like Ye Qingming was really anxious.
Seeing this, Lin Qingrou rejoiced inwardly. It looked like he hadn’t taken the wrong step.
