Chapter 71
Chapter 70 – Torture Each Other
“Xin Yuan, you haven’t come to see me for a long time since the incident with the surname Qu.” Ming Yan took two cans of soda from the refrigerator, and threw a can to Han Xinyuan, but Han Xinyuan put it aside with disgust.
“Drink this thing and gain two catties of meat, are you crazy?”
“What are you afraid of? Anyway, I won’t have a chance to be in the entertainment circle in the future.” Mingyan shrugged indifferently, brought another bottle of mineral water to Han Xinyuan, and stuffed the half-read documents into the storage compartment under the coffee table.
Han Xinyuan twisted the bottle cap and laughed at her: “Okay, Vice President Ming, don’t say it, this guy looks like a dog, he really looks like an elite.”
“How do you talk? What does it mean to look like an elite? It’s what it is!” Mingyan said without changing her expression, and was teased by Han Xinyuan, and then she got down to business, “Now the Qu family is completely It’s over.”
“Who says it’s not?” Han Xinyuan couldn’t help but feel a burst of emotion when the century-old foundation broke up.
The Qu family has had more face than Li Zi in recent years. It was at the end of the battle. The family has such a small fortune, and they were plotted by Ming Lang. Now they owe a lot of money to the bank, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to survive this year. The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and the offshoots of the Qu family went abroad earlier, and some went to other provinces. The famous and prominent family in C City, now that I think about it, only old man Qu and Qu Hefeng are left to support them.
Mingyan told Han Xinyuan about this, and Han Xinyuan was surprised, “No way? Where’s Qu Hefeng’s unworthy father and uncle?”
“They?” Mingyan sneered, “The day they got the news, they swept up the last fortune of the Qu family and fled the country. Now the Qu family is just an empty shell, and I’m afraid they won’t even be able to get a hundred thousand yuan out.”
When Han Xinyuan heard this, she felt a little fortunate. She had a mistake at the beginning, and her grandma wanted to unite with the Qu family to bring down the Ming family, so she almost got into Qu Hefeng’s bandit ship. Fortunately, she finally woke up and stood by the Ming family. No matter how much Han Xinyuan could not get used to Ming Lang, he had to admit that Ming Lang had been operating in City C for so many years, how could it be possible for him to be taken down by Qu Hefeng, who drank foreign ink since childhood.
Mingyan also heaved a sigh of relief, she waited for Han Xinyuan’s reaction, almost thinking that she was about to lose this good friend she grew up with, but fortunately Han Xinyuan didn’t let her down in the end.
Thinking of this level, Ming Yan shook the soda can in her hand, and said with a half-smile: “I was always thinking, what should I do if you really stand by Qu Hefeng?”
Han Xinyuan also laughed: “What should I do? Let’s turn against each other, you can still kill me.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was very relaxed when talking about this topic, but they both knew that if they really got to that point, it was up to them what to do.
Han Xinyuan asked again: “Will Qu Hefeng have another trick? What if he jumps over the wall in a hurry?”
“He dares.” Ming Yan said disdainfully, “Now the Ming family is his biggest creditor, and they have sent someone to watch him 24 hours a day, and they have been guarding against him for a long time.”
A hundred-year-old family has declined, and the topic is too heavy. Han Xinyuan felt a bit sad, so he changed the subject and chatted with Mingyan about the latest gossip in the entertainment industry. Seriously, they actually found a bald-headed actor to fall in love with or something, as if they were there to watch at the time, and the topic became lively.
After chatting for another half an hour, Mingyan finally couldn’t bear it anymore and interrupted Han Xinyuan’s gossip, “Xinyuan, you came to see me not just to gossip, right?”
Han Xinyuan took a sip of water as if nothing had happened, “The Qu family has collapsed, and now the Ming family is the dominant family. Our Han family is relying on your big tree to enjoy the shade. The weather is calm, so what else can we talk about if we don’t gossip?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Mingyan stopped beating around the bush with Han Xinyuan, “Xinyuan, the friendship from childhood to adulthood doesn’t need to be like that with you, really.” She said, feeling sad, “This time Too many things happened this year. Sister Qinglan is gone, my parents don’t come home all year round, and even my sister doesn’t want me anymore. Hiding the knife, Xin Yuan, even if you don’t talk to me, I really don’t know who else is around me.”
Her words were heart-pounding, and Han Xinyuan fell silent after she finished speaking.
So many things happened this year, who would have thought that people’s hearts would change so quickly.
Han Xinyuan’s expression was serious, and he sighed, “Ayan, I’m here to look for you, because I can only look for you for this matter.”
“What’s up?”
“Where did your sister get Ji Chenli?”
Mingyan didn’t seem to react, “My sister? Ji Chenli? Didn’t they live in the neighborhood next door? I saw them a while ago.” Speaking of this, Mingyan got a little annoyed, “That Ji Chenli is really not a thing , I must settle the score with her some other day.”
“She’s gone.” Han Xinyuan said.
“what?”
“Ji Chenli, she’s gone.” Han Xinyuan thought for a while and added, “Your sister is gone too.”
“Are you kidding, she was…”
“When was the last time you saw her?”
Mingyan drank the last sip of soda, sank into the sofa, crunching and crushing the flimsy aluminum can.
It seemed like she hadn’t seen Ming Lang for a long time.
“I don’t know.” Ming Yan suddenly realized that the relationship between herself and Ming Lang had really come to the point where they couldn’t ask each other, and she was a little frustrated, “I haven’t seen my sister for a long time.”
Han Xinyuan lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly, “She hid Ji Chenli, I knew it.”
When Qu Hefeng came to look for Han Xinyuan, most of the reasons why she hesitated were because of Ji Chenli. Han Xinyuan knew that he had no ability to compete with Minglang, so he finally stood by the Ming family, but she was not reconciled, and finally found a I like it, but that person is so trapped by Ming Lang, how can Han Xinyuan be reconciled.
Mingyan thinks Han Xinyuan is very strange, Han Xinyuan has always liked Minglang, this is something she has known since she was a child, but now it seems that she can’t forget Ji Chenli?
The more Mingyan thought about it, the more wrong it became, and even a weird thought came to her mind. She was taken aback by her own thought, and hurriedly asked, “Xin Yuan, why are you looking for Ji Chenli?”
Han Xinyuan took a look at Mingyan, smiled, and said resignedly, “I fell in love with Ji Chenli last time.”
Coinciding with her horrifying thoughts, Mingyan opened her mouth wide in shock, unable to utter a word.
“Unexpectedly?” Han Xinyuan imitated Mingyan’s posture, and threw himself into the sofa, resting his head on the back of his head and said helplessly: “I couldn’t even think of it myself.”
She paused, and then said: “I originally thought that I would like Minglang for the rest of my life, but later I found out that I like Minglang, probably in the first twenty years of my life, there was only Minglang in my life.”
Ming Yan felt it was ridiculous, “No, then how do you know that if you like Ji Chenli, you really do?”
Han Xinyuan glanced at her quietly, “Once you have someone you like, you will naturally know.”
What Han Xinyuan said was very mysterious, and Mingyan couldn’t persuade her, so she could only ask, “When did it happen?”
“She saved my life in the earthquake at the beginning of the year.” Han Xinyuan laughed at himself, “Or maybe earlier, when I didn’t like her, who knows.”
“…How do you know that you didn’t mistake gratitude for emotion this time?”
Who knows that Han Xinyuan still said faintly: “When you have someone you like, you will naturally know.”
“…” Mingyan felt that she couldn’t communicate with Han Xinyuan.
“Ayan, for the sake of our friendship for so many years, you will help me this time. Minglang is too powerful, but if I have other ways, I will not use our friendship to pressure you.”
Mingyan thought for a while, “I really don’t know where my sister is, but someone must know.”
“You mean…”
“Xu Luyang!” The two said in unison.
…
Ming Lang was telling a story to Ji Chenli. The doctor said that communicating with the patient more could stimulate the brain nerves of the patient, which might be useful. Ming Lang recalled her previous communication with Ji Chenli and found that most of the cases were bad. She was really not A person who can communicate, can’t even speak without a specific topic, so he had to give up the difficult task of “communicating” and read story books to Ji Chenli instead.
From the Grimm’s fairy tales to Andersen’s fairy tales, to the love stories found from unknown corners, without exception, they are all “from now on, the prince and princess live a happy life”, and the ending is so single that it is boring.
Only children believe in fairy tales, so Ji Chenli didn’t respond as a matter of course. Later, Minglang stopped reading these monotonous fairy tales to her, and she began to tell Ji Chenli stories. Long, long ago, the two Ji Chenli still didn’t respond to the past when they first met.
“The first time I saw you, you wore a ponytail and smiled at me. At that time, I thought, this girl really doesn’t know how to dress up, and she looks so good-looking when she laughs.”
“You love to talk. When we were together, you were always making noise, like a bird on a tree. So when you were gone, my ear was quiet and there was no more sound. Only then did I know that there was someone in my ear. Noisy, which is fine.”
Ming Lang lay beside Ji Chenli’s bed and kissed her hand, “Chenli, I lost you once before my eyes, and at that time I made up my mind to treat you well, divorced…it’s okay, you are always there, I can catch you again hold you.”
But Ming Lang was wrong, she failed to catch Ji Chenli.
But with a divorce agreement, Ji Chenli has no relatives, no friends, where can she escape? In the end, I can only come back to myself.
Ming Lang was wrong.
People like Ji Chenli dared to threaten other people’s lives in order to get married back then, and insisted on leaving. Of course, others couldn’t threaten her.
Standing at the door of the ward, Xu Luyang looked at the decadent look of her boss, and shook her head helplessly, thinking that she knew why she had done so before.
She watched Ji Chenli and Ming Lang come to this point. Both of them are too selfish. It is not surprising that they have come to the current situation, but she did not expect that Ming Lang would be ruthless, and Ji Chenli would be even more ruthless. She was not soft on herself, Xu Luyang was startled when she saw it, the lover has fallen in love to this point, it is better to let go and be at peace with each other, what’s the point of torturing each other together?
There are such people in the world, their love itself is to torture each other.
