Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C45

Lin Manshuang and Ye Qingming were supposed to meet with their parents before they got married.

But in the end, because Lin Yi was away on a business trip, Lin Manshou and Cheng Jianguo had to attend the meeting.

When the two of them reached the entrance of the hotel, Lin Manshou said to Cheng Jianguo, “Uncle, the family doesn’t know what happened to our family, so …”

Cheng Jianguo sighed. Although he was unwilling to see Lin Manrou marry into the family, he still had a good understanding of these principled questions.

He said, “Don’t worry, I understand.”

Lin Qingrou smiled, then supported him into the private room.

After Cheng Jianguo introduced himself to Ye Qingming, Ye Qingcheng and Shen Ruzhen, he sat in his seat.

Shen Ruzhen smiled and said, “It is truly an honor to be able to come to your family’s business today. Shall we eat first, and then talk about the two children? ”

Cheng Jianguo smiled and nodded. Afterwards, he chatted with Ye Qingcheng and Shen Ruzhen in a tepid tone after greeting them. Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingming. She subconsciously picked up a piece of sweet and sour meat and placed it on her plate.

“Wait.” Ye Qingming suddenly said.

Then he gestured to Lin Qingrou to take a look at the contents of his plate.

Lin Qingrou asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Qingming sighed, drank a mouthful of fruit juice and said, “You’re holding sweet and sour fish, not sweet and sour meat.” Didn’t you never eat seafood before? Why are you so absent-minded? ”

Lin Qingrou smiled when she saw the piece of orange meat on her plate.

As it happened, Cheng Jianguo was sitting beside them. Seeing the intimate actions of Lin Qingrou and Mu Yurou, he seemed to gradually feel at ease.

Shen Ruzhen asked, “It’s such a pity that Manchu’s mother didn’t come this time.”

Just as she finished speaking, Ye Qingcheng suddenly looked towards Lin Qingrou. Lin Qingrou raised his head and listened to Cheng Jianguo’s voice. However, his eyes were locked with Ye Qingcheng’s.

Ye Qingcheng’s body leaned forward, his eyes were cold and full of ridicule. The instant Lin Qingrou looked at him, he turned his face away.

Ye Qingming inadvertently looked towards Lin Man and Ye Qingcheng. After frowning for a moment, he turned to a smile and asked, “What, are you nervous?”

Lin Qingrou looked at him curiously. She touched her face unconsciously and realized that there was a drop of cold sweat on her temple.

Because she was always uneasy facing Ye Qingcheng.

Lin Qingrou shook her head and pretended to be relaxed as she said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that the room is a little stuffy.” With that, she drank a cup of iced fruit juice, but after a while, she felt even colder.

After the meal, Ye Qingcheng took the initiative to mention the matter of Lin Manshou’s and his wife’s wedding. Shen Ruzhen agreed, “What we’re saying here is, the faster the better. Of course, the prerequisite is that we have to choose a auspicious day. ”

Cheng Jianguo frowned and looked at Ye Qingming without saying a word.

Ye Qingming immediately panicked a bit from his gaze. Even though he had seen a lot of people in society, when he faced Cheng Jianguo, he still felt a little guilty.

If Ye Qingcheng’s eyes were like a venomous cobra’s, then Cheng Jianguo’s eyes were like a fierce tiger’s, full of power and prestige.

However, in the end, Cheng Jianguo still compromised and said, “Then we’ll leave it to you to discuss this before you notify us.”

Lin Manshou let out a sigh of relief, but she still felt reluctant and unwilling to part with him.

After dinner, Ye Qingming and Ye Qingcheng drove back together, while Lin Man and Cheng Jianguo strolled towards a nearby car park.

Seeing that no one was around, Cheng Jianguo asked worriedly, “Did you really plan on marrying him?”

Lin Qingrou looked at the building beside her, then looked at her palm. She said softly, “Yes, I’ve thought about it.”

Cheng Jianguo sighed and said doubtfully, “Since you have already decided, I have no objection. It’s just that his name sounds familiar to me. I think I’ve heard of it somewhere before, haven’t I? ”

Lin Qingrou’s heart leapt to her throat. He had finally asked her the question she was most worried about. Lin Qingrou was extremely worried that Lin Yi and Cheng Jianguo would be particularly sensitive to the name of Ye Qingming, so she didn’t inform them immediately. However, Cheng Jianguo still noticed it.

Seeing that Lin Qingrou did not reply, Cheng Jianguo comforted her, “Don’t think too much into it, I was just casually asking. After all, there are so many people who have to be removed from the unit every day.

Lin Qingrou looked at Cheng Jianguo. Suddenly, she could not help but choke and say, “In the future, you and Aunt will definitely be fine. I don’t have a father anymore. I can’t do without you. ”

When Cheng Jianguo heard this, he smiled and patted her shoulder. Although the two of them did not speak at this moment, it was enough to surpass a thousand words.

After Lin sent Cheng Jianguo off, she walked alone to the river without a destination in mind. She indifferently looked at the gray wind that was blowing slowly on the surface of the muddy river. She saw a yellow leaf floating on the river, looking extremely conspicuous. The leaf was lonely and fragile, as if it could be swept into the dark water at any time. As Lin Qingrou watched, she could feel the wind growing colder and colder. Unknowingly, her heart had also turned from warm to calm.

Indeed, Lin Qingrou knew that she could not afford to lose any more of her loved ones. Because they were her only support and a warm harbor. It was the only thing she had left in this world that supported her life.

She was about to turn around and leave when the phone in her bag rang.

It was Liu Yuxi.

“I have nothing to do now, so I’m so free that I feel flustered. Where are you? Shall we go out to eat? ”

Lin Qingrou looked around before answering, “I’m waiting for you at that private restaurant by the river?”

Liu Yuxi quickly complied and then drove over there.

After the two of them met, Liu Yuxi rubbed his hands together forcefully and stamped his feet in the cold air. She couldn’t help but complain, “Why is it so cold today? It caused me to sneeze a few times while I was driving.”

Lin Qingrou quickly poured her a cup of hot water and said, “You came at the right time, I just had a meal with the Ye Family.”

“Ye Family? “Why?”

“It’s nothing. It’s about marriage. “We’ll talk about it when they set the date.”

Liu Yuxi sighed and said, “So fast, how long have you and Ye Qingming known each other? Just a few months? Is this a wedding? ”

“Stop joking with me. It’s not like you don’t know what happened to me.”

Liu Yuxi said with some pity, “That’s true, are you really willing to marry Ye Qingming?”

Lin Qingrou spread her hands out on the table. “If it were you, you would have done the same.”

Liu Yuxi smiled, then suddenly probed, “Do you really not have any memories regarding your mother?”

Lin Qingrou was stunned, her face fell. With a hint of resentment, she said, “I just found out from my father that she left when I was very young. Thus, he still didn’t know where she was, whether she was alive or dead. Such a biological mother, is there even a need to think about her?! ”

“Also… I really don’t have any impression of her… It seems that when it comes to my biological mother, my mind is completely blank. ” Lin Manshui’s tone of voice gradually changed from grumbling to grief, to the point where even Liu Yuxi couldn’t help but feel sorrowful.

Lin Manshou looked at Liu Yuxi and said, “I’m the same as you, I don’t hold any hope for my own mother anymore.”

Liu Yuxi couldn’t help but laugh, and she laughed mockingly, “You sure know how to pick common ground, okay! Today is my treat, so even if I wish for your marriage to go smoothly, everything will go smoothly! ”

The two of them raised their wine glasses and clinked it against each other, as if this was a good omen for everything that was about to happen.

But how could things go as smoothly as people wished?

The next day, just as Lin Qingrou was about to report to Fang Tong about her wedding leave in advance, she received a sudden notification from Fang Tong, “A plane for S City the day after tomorrow in the afternoon. Get ready, there’s me and my child, a total of three people. ”

Although Lin Qingrou was slightly surprised, she was actually quick to react. As she replied, she took out the notebook in her hands and started making notes.

“This time we’re going to do an interview for a writer, even though what he writes is visible to all. But after all, he had made quite a fortune in the past few years because he had adapted a few movies of the same name. “Let’s consider it as progressing with the times, we should also go and interview them.” Fang Tong said helplessly.

Lin Qingrou answered with a meaningful “Oh” before continuing to write.

Fang Tong couldn’t help but ask, “What’s with your expression?”

Lin Qingrou reacted and explained, “It’s nothing, I just… I didn’t expect you to interview such people. ” She told the truth.

Fang Tong’s brows furrowed, his hands forming a sharp horn on the table. He actually laughed.

“I know. You must think that someone as conceited as me is going back to interview a writer who is famous for hype, right?”

Lin Qingrou nodded unconsciously. Then, she felt that something wasn’t right, so she just looked at him.

Fang Tong slapped the table. “I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll just say a few words to you.” I interviewed him because I wanted to see Lushan in person. Second, I want to get some sponsorship for us. When the results come out and the prize money comes in, why not? ”

Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that she would be looking at Fang Tong in astonishment.

“I didn’t expect you to be a person who would bow for the sake of five dans of rice.” she said.

Fang Tong’s smile grew even more exaggerated, to the point where he almost couldn’t catch his breath as he replied, “Alright, you. I was just casually saying it.” However, the first point was true. The second point was true as well. It wasn’t that important. I just wanted to interview a person I had an appointment with when I went to S City. ”

Lin Qingrou was suddenly enlightened. She put away her notebook, glanced at Fang Tong, and prepared to leave. Just as she left, Fang Tong called her back.

“Is there anything else?” she asked.

Fang Tong asked, “Did you come to find me just now because you had something to say?”

Lin Qingrou remembered, she felt that there was no need to say anything, so she casually said, “No, there is nothing to say. If you have nothing else, I’ll go back to work. ”

Fang Tong nodded skeptically as she watched Lin Qingrou leave her office and enter the cubicle. She couldn’t help but smile.

Lin Qingrou sat back down in her chair. She actually felt some lingering fear in her heart as she slowly sat down. She had never known Fang Tong, nor did she know his temperament. He just felt that he had a strict personality. Although he was sometimes a bit heartless, he was still a good leader.

That was why when he smiled at her earlier, Lin Qingrou felt a little dazed. She did not know if it was due to surprise or fear.

Lin Qingrou had just calmed down when her phone started to buzz on the table. She randomly picked it up and took a look. It was actually Cheng Yun.

“I’m at work right now. If you have something to say, say it quickly.” Lin Qingrou quickly said as soon as she picked up the phone.

Cheng Yun chuckled and said, “I heard that you’re about to get married. It’s almost my aunt’s birthday, so shouldn’t we take a look before you get married?”

Lin Qingrou replied immediately, “Of course, tell me when you’ve booked the time. As long as it’s not the last week, I’m going on a business trip. ”

“Very well, my prophet will speak to you. I don’t want you to ‘forget too much’ and forget about it again. ”

Lin Qingrou smiled as she agreed. After hanging up, she wrote the two words “Birthday” on her diary. After she finished writing, she unconsciously looked at the black and white text in front of her in a daze.

“Sister Lin? Sister Lin?” The little boy called out to her a few times, only then did she come back to her senses and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The child handed the form over and asked carefully, “This is the return receipt for the pre-arranged air ticket. Can you take a look? Would you like to show it to Dean Fang?”

Lin Qingrou’s expression was numb as she said, “I’m fine with anything. You can show it to Dean Fang!”

With that, Lin Qingrou quickly packed up her laptop and other stuff. She then left in a hurry after saying goodbye to the child for an interview. She quickly ran out of the company building, caught a taxi and headed home at the fastest speed possible.

When she arrived home panting, she looked up at the clock. It had only taken her 15 minutes to get home from the office. Lin Qingrou couldn’t help but sit on the sofa to rest. She panted heavily as she picked up the magazine and fanned herself with it. The reason she was so anxious to get home was because when she was on the phone, she suddenly thought of something.

Birthday, Quan Wei’s birthday. Regarding her birthday, Lin Qingrou only knew two things. One thing was that every year, before and after her birthday, there would be a large transfer of money. The other thing was that on the day she was born, what were the people of the Ye Family doing?

Thinking of this, Lin Qingrou got up and returned to the study. She opened a drawer and used a key to open one of the boxes. It clearly stated that the year that Quan Wei was born, Ye Qingcheng was studying in a university. Ye Qingzhi had just finished her university entrance examinations that year, and she had gone through them in a very orderly manner, without any abnormalities. However, Ye Qinggran being Ye Qingzhi’s twin sisters seemed a little too special. That was because, after graduating from high school that year, she enrolled in an unremarkable university abroad.

Later on, Lin Qingrou asked her friends from abroad to help her check the information of that university. She realized that, in terms of teaching qualifications and environment, this school wasn’t the place that the Ye Family’s parents would choose to go to. Furthermore, with Ye Qinggran’s grades and family background, he wouldn’t have chosen this place even if he had gone abroad to study.

As such, why would the Ye Clan send Ye Qingran there? This was truly strange.

Lin Qingrou looked at Quan Wei’s exact date of birth. It was at the end of November at the beginning of winter that year, November 20th.

At this moment, she suddenly had a bold guess. Could Quan Wei be Ye Qinggran’s child?

However, when Lin Qingrou thought back to the time when Ye Qinggran and Quan Wei had been together, Ye Qinggran’s current actions didn’t seem like he saw Quan Wei as his own child. Why was this so? Could it be that Ye Qinggran didn’t know that Quan Wei was her child? Or could it be that Lin Qingrou’s guess was wrong, and Quan Wei was an orphan who had nothing to do with the Ye Family?

However, if her guess was correct, then who was Quan Wei’s father? Was it the person who remitted money to her on time every year?

Lin Qingrou’s mind was in a mess. She looked at the lines of black text on the white paper in front of her, reached out for a pen, and wrote the names of Ye Qingran and Quan Wei on it. Half an hour later, Lin Qingrou hurried back to the company and ran into Fang Tong, who was on her way to eat lunch.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you go to interview them? Why are you back so soon? ” Fang Tong said.

Lin Qingrou nodded and said casually, “The interviewer had some business at the moment, so I came back.”

Fang Tong looked at her and asked, “It’s already time to get off work, aren’t you going to have lunch?”

Lin Qingrou looked at him and smiled, “I’m not hungry, so I won’t eat first.”

“Alright, see you then.” After Fang Tong finished, he casually waved at her, then took the elevator and left the company.

It was already 12 o’clock, and Lin Qingrou was alone in her office. She was organizing the manuscript while listening to the clock chime twelve times in her ear. It was another hour.

Quan Wei, Ye Qingzhi, as well as an unknown account, these were the words that were currently plastered all over Lin Qingrou’s mind. She leaned back in her chair, a little tired. The pen in her hand rolled to the side of her phone.

But, if Quan Wei was really Ye Qinggran’s child, then did Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingzhi know about this matter? The more Lin Manrou thought about it, the more confused she became. However, a strange idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

If Ye Qinggran was really Quan Wei’s biological mother, then Ye Qingming would be Quan Wei’s uncle. So, without knowing it, Quan Wei had already fallen for her blood related uncle?!

God!

Lin Qingrou felt both shocked and disgusted at the same time. She took a sip of hot water and patted her head. He couldn’t help but say in his heart, “I must be overthinking things. If Quan Wei is really Ye Qinggran’s child, how could Ye Qinggran not notice it himself?” Is there really anyone who would forget that they had once given birth to a child!? “
