Chapter 300 Never Give in (1/2)

It is said that crying bitterly at midnight was an inevitable part of life. But was hardship necessary in order for one to experience life? Since everyone’s single final pursuit seemed to be no more than to lead a happy and peaceful life.

This was ridiculous.

It was a cold and rainy autumn day. A heartbroken woman was crying bitterly at the side of the road, due to matters of love. Anybody who saw this would be empathic, sharing the same sad feelings. Besides, this woman was such a charming beauty.

Some passers-by passed by, ignoring this woman, for fear of getting involved in any trouble. Some onlookers frowned and were hesitant to help. After all, this was just something that everybody might have gone through.

Eventually, an old couple stopped. The old lady held her umbrella over Su Qin and asked, “What’s wrong with you, little girl?”

Her husband took the umbrella and held it over Su Qin, sheltering her from the rain. The autumn rain was cold enough to make people develop some sickness. Most young people did not care about this, but they would eventually regret their ignorance one day.

Su Qin felt better after crying. Now she looked awkward, with all of her hair and clothes sodden by the rain. She raised her head and looked at the old lady, as she wiped her face. She then shook her head and said, “Thank you, I’m fine.”

The old lady realized that the woman beside her, was very beautiful. She felt sorry for her and said, “You silly girl, everything will be all right, just let it go. What you have suffered will become an important part of your memory. Lift your head high and go bravely ahead. You still have a long way to go in life.”

Su Qin stood up and took the umbrella from the old man. The old man said, “You’re such a beautiful young lady. God will bless you.”

“Come on. Go home, take a shower, and have a good sleep. Tomorrow will be another day,” the old lady said, with a kind smile.

Su Qin nodded hard, feeling that the knot deep inside her heart, was not that tight any more. She should live her life like how she used to, rather than what she was, now.

“Thank you very much.” Su Qin tried hard to show a lovely smile. She held her umbrella and left by taxi, to the hotel. She did not want to do anything now, except to have a good sleep.

The old lady took her husband by the hand, and the old man held the umbrella over his wife. The old couple was such a pair of love birds. The old lady sighed and said, “All young people are always grieved by love.”

“That’s what we used to be, when we were young. Youth!” The old man sighed.

They walked away slowly and chatted. That was exactly what people want in life. But how many of us can have it?

Qin Sheng saw Su Qin getting into the taxi, and then the old couple leaving. He had calmed down and was in a stable state now. He rarely let his feelings get out of control.

“Have I done something wrong?” Qin Sheng said to himself, and also asked Gu Qingyang, who was driving.

Gu Qingyang hesitated a little and looked at Qin Sheng through the rearview mirror. He did not know how to answer Qin Sheng. Gu Qingyang knew that the beautiful lady must have some relationship with Qin Sheng, or she would not be crying in the rain, and his Brother Qin would not be so upset.

“She’s Su Qin, the woman I used to love deeply. She was my first love, six years from the time we were in senior high to university. Qingyang, what do you think of my choice? Is it right, or wrong?” Qin Sheng laughed at himself, but tearfully.

Gu Qingyang was confused and said, “Brother Qin, I do not have a lot of experience, so I don’t understand these things. But I was taught one thing when I was young. Never hurt anyone who is good to you. It should not happen too often, when someone really cares about you.”

Gu Qingyang had just said some very simple words, which, however, made Qin Sheng feel even more sorrow. Was he really wrong?

“Let’s go.” Qin Sheng sighed and said. Anyway, he had made his choice, though it might be wrong.

Lin Su would not be home tonight, for Lin Yue had asked her to stay over with her in The One. She had informed Qin Sheng of this, and he said nothing. Qin Sheng stayed in the study and did not go to sleep until midnight.

Next Monday was the opening ceremony of Han Bin’s new company. After solving the problem of Su Qin, Qin Sheng had to face Lin Su now. His grandfather had said that it was his destiny to be trapped by untold romantic relationships.

Han Bing’s company was located at Beishan Road, adjoining the West Lake, and she paid an extremely exorbitant rent. But it was just a small thing for such a rich lady, who had inherited thousands of millions of property. After her father died, Han Bing changed totally, and was not wayward, like before. Now, nobody would help her without any conditions attached, no matter what difficulty there was. She had rid herself of those fake friends, and only stayed with the few, who were true to her. Her present life was to do what she liked to do, happily and comfortably. She did not care about money any more.

For the company’s opening ceremony, Han Bing invited a lot of guests and friends, most of whom were old friends of her father. Qin Sheng was also one of them, and he brought Hao Lei with him.

Han Bing was sometimes wayward and used to quarrel with Qin Sheng frequently. But in the work place, she was definitely a tough and iron-willed business woman, which Qin Sheng came to know, when he was still her driver.

Han Bing was busy at the opening ceremony, but in an orderly way. When Qin Sheng and Hao Lei entered, she came over to welcome them with a warm smile and said, “I was just thinking if you will turn up.”

“This is the opening ceremony of your new company. It’s much more important than any other business. If you become the country’s richest woman one day, then we’re your underlings, waiting for you to lead us by the hand.” Qin Sheng said, joking with Han Bing.
