Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C43
Lin Man and Liu Yuxi temporarily left their wedding gowns at the wedding shop and went back to their own homes.
Just as Lin Qingrou walked towards the subway station, Liu Yuxi suddenly called out to her.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
Liu Yuxi suddenly looked at her seriously and said, “The email I just sent has found Qi Yuan Qi’s company.”
“What!?”
Lin Man and Liu Yuxi immediately went to a coffee shop near the bridal shop. After they found a corner, Liu Yuxi handed the phone to Lin Manshui.
“Look, these are the companies he bought this year. After the investigation, I took a quick look at the companies in Chiyoko’s company, except for a few small ones involving tourism and real estate, which were assigned to Chiyoko. The few remaining industries, such as the first company in the Qi family and the recently acquired smaller companies, were all managed by Zitang. As for Qi Yuankai, he is nothing more than a puppet controlled by Qi Yuanzhi.
Lin Qingrou looked carefully, she could only understand a little about the details of the accounts, and couldn’t help but ask, “Where did you find this? “So detailed.”
Liu Yuxi raised an eyebrow, “I naturally have my own methods.”
Lin Qingrou skimmed through them and said, “These three companies all belonged to the same headquarters a long time ago. Moreover, they all spent a large amount of money in the same year. Where was the last destination for the money? How did they end up failing? ”
Liu Yuxi knocked on the table and said, “So I think that if you want to check up on them, there’s no point in doing so. The main thing is to find out the source. ‘Capture the thief first.’ We’ll have to start with the head office at that time. And, have you noticed that all these companies closed one after the other after the year of your father’s accident? ”
“Also, wasn’t the main supply hospital of this company previously the St. Paul’s Hospital?!”
Liu Yuxi pointed them out to her.
A strange thought suddenly appeared in Lin Qingrou’s mind: Could his father’s death be related to this company? Her heart couldn’t help but begin to beat wildly at the thought.
Liu Yuxi was worried about her emotions and explained, “Don’t think too much into it. It might just be a coincidence. At that time, the power behind Qi Zheng’s shirt was not that great, and Ye Qingcheng did not have that much power to control a company, right? ”
Lin Qingrou shook her head, shivering.
“Qi Cheng’s shirt doesn’t look like it’s been advertised in the outside world. He’s much more complicated than we thought. ”
At this moment, Liu Yuxi’s phone rang.
It was Zhou Yuan.
Liu Yuxi’s expression instantly changed from calm to sweet.
She gently asked, “Darling, where are you? …” Ye Qingming? You and Ye Qingming are together? … Then you have to tell him, I accompanied Lin Canrou for a day, let him treat us to a meal and treat me to a treat. Fine, it’s a deal then … Well, we’ll get there as soon as we can. “Bye bye.”
With that, Liu Yuxi hung up the phone and said to Lin Manshou, “Ye Qingming and Zhou Yuan are together, let’s go.”
Although Lin Qingrou knew that Ye Qingming had come back these few days, she didn’t expect him to be so sudden. She said hesitantly, “Forget it, I won’t go. You guys gather well.”
Liu Yuxi said angrily, “Are you that afraid of meeting him? If you don’t even dare to eat, then when you marry him and eat together with him, do you have to find reasons to avoid him every day? ”
Lin Manshou sighed, but in the end, she couldn’t refuse Liu Yuxi. She reluctantly pulled Lin Sanjiu to the entrance of the restaurant.
Liu Yuxi couldn’t help but sigh, “It seems like Ye Qingming is really willing to spend money for you. I only mentioned your name, and he invited us here so generously. Speaking of which, I’ve only been to this hotel a few times. ”
Lin Qingrou looked at her helplessly, muttering in her heart, “What does this have to do with me?”
The moment the two of them entered the restaurant, they saw Zhou Yuan and Ye Qingming sitting in a quiet spot. Zhou Yuan had a strange expression on his face, but Liu Yuxi didn’t notice it.
Ye Qingming had not seen Lin Qingrou for many days. Other than the two of them making a few brief phone calls, he had no other contact with them. Thus, when he saw her now, he couldn’t help but feel better. However, he did not expect Lin Qingrou to be so calm.
Liu Yuxi caught a glimpse of Ye Qingming’s abnormal expression, and recalled what Lin Manshou had said during the wedding dress test. He could not help but smooth things over as he said, “Today, Manchu and I had already arranged our wedding gowns when we arrived at the wedding shop. Now, all I have to do is wait for you to get married.”
Ye Qingming was pleasantly surprised, “It seems like it’s still more convenient for you two to be together. Otherwise, she would always quarrel with me and refuse to test out her wedding dress.”
When Liu Yuxi heard this, he knew that Lin Qingrou probably didn’t want the scars on his body to be found out by Ye Qingming. She nodded silently, then smiled and said, “Of course, I know her the best.”
At this moment, Zhou Yuan whispered, “Shall we order?”
Liu Yuxi nodded, then looked at Lin Manshui. Seeing her staring blankly out of the window at the water wheel and the rock garden, he couldn’t help but give her a few kicks with the tip of his shoe under the table.
Lin Qingrou snapped out of her daze, biting her lips as she glared furiously at Liu Yuxi.
Ye Qingming asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Qingrou replied snappily, “It’s fine, I got bitten by a mosquito.”
Ye Qingming did not understand. He looked around and muttered, “It’s so cold right now and there are mosquitoes?” Do you want to change seats? ”
Lin Qingrou waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.
Liu Yuxi looked at her gloatingly and thought to himself, “Silly woman, you’re still putting on airs in front of delicious food.”
Ye Qingming explained the menu to Lin Qingrou, who was still thinking about Liu Yuxi and said snappily, “What’s the most expensive thing to eat?”
Ye Qingming found it funny, so he said to her, “What happened today? Usually, you have to make AA with me to take you to eat delicious food. ”
Liu Yuxi smiled sinisterly, “When women start saving you money, that means they’re already in love with you. “Heh heh.”
Lin Qingrou’s expression changed. She looked at Liu Yuxi in shock, unable to say a single word.
However, Ye Qingming was stunned for a moment. He didn’t know whether it was because he didn’t think Liu Yuxi would say this, or because he didn’t believe Lin Manrou would fall in love with him like Liu Yuxi said.
This was because Ye Qingming had never been confident in himself in matters of the heart after what had happened with Xing Ruonan.
Ye Qingming could feel that during his interactions with Lin Qingrou, he could often see her staring into the opposite direction, lost in thought. Sometimes, even though she was with him, he felt that her heart was drifting further and further away from him bit by bit.
To him, Lin Qingrou was more like a kite, fragile and erratic. However, Ye Qingming did not know where the string was. At least for now, it was not in his hands.
It was also because of this that he was somewhat shocked when he heard Liu Yuxi’s words.
“Don’t listen to her nonsense.” Lin Qingrou explained. Then she took the menu and read it through, ordered a favorite pasta, and excused herself from the table to go to the bathroom.
“Why are you so excited? Am I helping you test Ye Qingming?” Liu Yuxi followed along and explained in a low voice.
Lin Manmei was speechless. She washed her hands and ignored Liu Yuxi.
Liu Yuxi mumbled to himself, “But don’t say it, I’ve already used my Fiery Eyes of Truth to look. I’m sure that Ye Qingming has feelings for you.”
Lin Qingrou looked suspiciously at Liu Yuxi. “Reason?”
Liu Yuxi said proudly, “I said that in the instant you saved him money, I saw the panic in his eyes for a long time. Then, when you didn’t say anything, I saw him looking down and feeling nervous. This means that he definitely likes you, but it’s hard to say whether or not he is in love with you. ”
Lin Qingrou pondered over Liu Yuxi’s words, before replying softly, “How could that be? He shouldn’t be like that.”
To Lin Qingrou, this was something that should not have happened. The wrong time, the wrong place, the wrong people. Maybe they were wrong from the first time they met.
After the four of them finished their lunch, Zhou Yuan took advantage of Ye Qingming and Lin Qingrou leaving to settle the bill to Liu Yuxi and said in a heavy tone, “Next time, can you not look for a place like this to eat?”
Liu Yuxi didn’t know what he was talking about, and asked with a frown, “What are you talking about?”
Zhou Yuan seemed to be holding back his anger as he said, “Do you know how much a meal here costs? This is not a place we should be! ”
Liu Yuxi nodded. She took a sip of her fruit juice and said, “Of course I know. It’s not like I’ve never been here before.”
Zhou Yuan was stunned. He asked again, “Have you been here before?”
“Yeah, my friends and I often come.”
“You … “You …” Zhou Yuan was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
Liu Yuxi seemed to gradually understand the hidden meaning behind Zhou Yuan’s words, and asked in a bad tone, “What do you mean? “Do you think I’m a gold digger?”
Zhou Yuan did not say anything, not sure if he should agree or not.
Liu Yuxi got even angrier, and she said to Zhou Yuan, “You …” You think I’m not fit to come here? Then where should I go? Go out to the roadside stand and eat? “Or do you think I …”
“I didn’t!” Zhou Yuan interrupted her in time.
“I just suddenly feel like we’re not from the same world.” Zhou Yuan said.
“Then where am I from? Am I an alien? ”
Zhou Yuan quickly explained, “No, I just feel like there’s too much of a difference between us…” Maybe you can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for a meal. But in my world, it was neither appropriate nor worthwhile. “If we don’t come to this place once a year, or if you can’t buy any of your expensive cosmetics and perfumes often, will you be able to bear it?”
Liu Yuxi stared blankly at Zhou Yuan, as if he didn’t believe that such words would come out of his mouth. At this moment, Ye Qingming and Lin Qingrou were walking towards the dining table from the checkout counter. Lin Manrou suddenly noticed that Liu Yuxi’s expression wasn’t right, so she quickly grabbed Ye Qingming’s arm and said, “Don’t go back yet, they seem to have something to say.”
Ye Qingming looked up and seemed to understand what Lin Qingrou meant. He followed her out of the restaurant.
Ye Qingming and Lin Qingrou walked down the street side by side, Lin Qingrou’s hands were in her pockets unnaturally.
She asked, “I thought you wouldn’t be back for a few more days.”
Ye Qingming explained, “I coincidentally bumped into Zhou Yuan when I was returning to the hospital today, and I found out from him that you were together.”
He then looked at her and laughed awkwardly, “Are you angry because of what Liu Yuxi said just now?”
Lin Qingrou looked at him in disbelief, “I thought you would be angry … “She was just joking around, don’t mind her.”
Ye Qingming smiled and said to her, “Liu Yuxi is pretty cute for daring to do it.”
Lin Qingrou thought of herself. She had always been cautious, never taking any steps, and she would never have the guts to do such a thing.
She said rather enviously, “Yes, I also like her character. At the very least, he wouldn’t let himself be wronged and live a carefree life. If she was the one you met, I think you would really fall in love with her. ”
Lin Qingrou’s expression was serious, as if she wasn’t angry at all.
Ye Qingming and Wei Wei was furious. He solemnly said, “But the person I am meeting with is you, so now speaking of who you are, it is just a hypothesis. They are not established. ”
Lin Qingrou did not seem to notice anything wrong with Ye Qingming’s tone. She said sadly, “Of course, I know. I just didn’t think… We’ll get married so soon. However, I know my position very well, so I won’t think too much about it. ”
Ye Qingming asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Lin Manshui turned her head to look at him. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Liu Yuxi running out of the restaurant while crying.
Liu Yuxi wiped away his tears and ran in front of Lin Qingrou. She glanced at Ye Qingming and said, “I’ll borrow your wife first. Remember to come back later to get her.”
After saying that, Liu Yuxi pulled Lin Manshui along and ran towards the taxi.
Lin Qingrou sat in the car beside her and could not help but ask, “Did you guys quarrel just now? What did he say? ”
Liu Yuxi lowered her head and sobbed. She looked up at the driver and said, “Master, please go to the Polytechnic University.”
Then she looked at Lin Qingrou and said, “Zhou Yuan and I broke up!”
“They broke up?!” Lin Qingrou looked at her in surprise.
“It’s only been a few days, it hasn’t even been a month. Why did they break up? ”
“Why else?! He said it was because I was too rich! ”
At this moment, the driver at the front couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Lin Qingrou looked at him, feeling that the reason was too absurd to believe.
“You broke up because you were too rich? Are you sure that he said that himself, and that you were not making wild guesses? ”
Liu Yuxi’s tears were all over her makeup. She took out a tissue and wiped her face, and then, like Lin Xiu, she said, “I’m so silly, really. “I thought Zhou Yuan would be a good person this time, but the result is still the same …”
Helpless, Lin Qingrou got out of the car and asked, “What are you doing back at school?”
Liu Yuxi replied, “I want to eat the spicy hot food near school.”
As they spoke, the two of them walked towards a restaurant at the back door of the school.
As they sat in the restaurant, Lin could finally listen to Liu Yuxi’s detailed explanation of what had just happened.
“He felt that we were not from the same world, so when I started talking about breaking up, he didn’t say a word, just sat there without a word, didn’t keep me, and didn’t say goodbye. When I got angry, I ran out. ”
“He means that he feels that there’s too much of a difference between him and you, so he doesn’t want to continue?”
“Well, he said, you can spend hundreds and thousands of dollars just to buy a bottle of your favorite perfume. More than three hundred pieces of mascara were thrown away after only two uses. You can buy ten or twenty pieces of lipstick the same color. Eating, going in and out of the clubhouse like we did at noon, in his opinion, is simply a fantasy. ”
The more Lin Manrou listened, the more she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of reasons were these? Was Liu Yuxi shocked just like that? ” “Not at all!”
Liu Yuxi choked and said, “It’s not because he said it’s me, but because he misunderstood me! Which part of me doesn’t look like someone who can simply live a simple life?! Do I have the words on my forehead
Have you written ‘extravagant and wasteful’ yet? Besides, I can eat the best steak in the clubhouse, and I can also eat the Ma La Tang in the Fly Inn! He doesn’t understand me, so why would he be so reckless in coming to a conclusion towards me! ”
Lin Manshou relaxed. At this moment, she finally understood what Liu Yuxi was hesitating about: her sore spot wasn’t that she cared about Zhou Yuan’s departure, but that he didn’t want to investigate her heartfelt desire to tag her.
She comforted quietly, “I understand, since he is not the right person, I might as well let him go. Let’s go back to our homes and find our mothers. Everyone is very happy. ”
Liu Yuxi touched his face and explained in a serious tone, “Although I agree with him that I’m buying, I won’t change my mind. Because he didn’t understand. Although the lipstick looked red, pink, orange, and purple, the difference was completely different. The perfume smelled good, but it was different. He can doubt my way of spending money, but not my taste. ”
Lin Qingrou agreed, “Alright, alright, he’s the one who has decided to not think. Let’s not talk about him anymore. Hurry up and eat.
As she spoke, Lin Qingrou pushed the Mai Sumoku in front of Liu Yuxi.
Liu Yuxi slowly calmed down. As she ate the spicy hot food, she asked in a unclear tone, “What did you say to Ye Qingming? I saw that he didn’t look too good just now. ”
Lin Qingrou froze for a moment before asking curiously, “What’s wrong with him?”
“How do I know what happened to him? I wasn’t talking to him. Did you say something to make him angry when you were talking to him? ”
Lin Qingrou took out a bottle of mineral water and passed it to Liu Yuxi, thinking, “I don’t think so …” I didn’t notice… But it’s possible that we didn’t have a very pleasant conversation. It’s always a chatterbox. ”
Liu Yuxi patted Liu Yuxi’s shoulder like a parent and said, “Be contented with what you have. Ye Qingming doesn’t have any major flaws. How can you be like me, when we met those lousy people earlier, you really didn’t let anyone else get their way. ”
Lin Qingrou said, “My situation is different from yours, so it seems that I should be especially satisfied?”
Liu Yuxi smiled and fell silent.
Lin Qingrou silently thought to herself, “If she had not experienced the sort of rough and twisty events that happened to her before, perhaps she would have felt that Ye Qingming was the perfect marriage partner.” However, in this situation, if she wanted to live a good life with Ye Qingming, it would be impossible. Because as long as she still harbored hatred and wanted revenge, happiness would never belong to her.
Lin Qingrou knew that there were no secrets that could be hidden forever. When the truth came out, what would Ye Qingming choose? How would she face him?
