Chapter 334 - A Friend



Chapter 334 A Friend

Today should be the first day Qin Sheng had arrived in Tsingtao officially. Apparently, Tsingtao extended a warm welcome to his arrival. The weather today was extremely fine and comfortably warm. The sun was shining brightly. There wasn’t any sea breeze at all. Standing in front of the French windows, one could see many strolling visitors and passers-by at the seaside. Happy and carefree, the smiles on their faces were bright.

Song Zhiqiu slept in for a while. It was not until Qin Sheng went to make breakfast that she got up, took a shower, and changed into another suit of pajamas. After that, she lay in a sling chair in front of the French windows drowsily and enjoyed the comfort as the sunlight shone on her face. A while later, she picked up her mobile and made several calls. That was because she had made appointments with two of her friends originally, who were both descendants of the Song family’s cooperation partners in Tsingtao and quite close to her. Qin Sheng’s arrival completely disrupted her plan.

After Song Zhiqiu finished making the calls, she let out a sigh and felt somewhat upset. Though she and Qin Sheng, who were both grown-ups, did not regret doing what they had done last night, following that, how should they deal with each other?

Qin Sheng, who had made breakfast, called out to her, “Alluring woman, time to eat breakfast.” At this moment, Qin Sheng was as upset as Song Zhiqiu. He had drunk too much last night. Originally, he had been in a bad mood. He had even indulged and degenerated himself completely. In the end, he had been controlled by his instincts, made the call to Song Zhiqiu without reason, and played with her for a whole night without reason.

Upon hearing Qin Sheng call out, Song Zhiqiu replied with a random “Oh.” After a while, she forced a smile and walked out of the bedroom.

When hearing the sound of the footsteps, Qin Sheng, who was pouring juice, lifted up his head subconsciously and stared at Song Zhiqiu. Song Zhiqiu was dressed in white sling pajamas, bathing herself in the sunlight. Her body sent forth a unique fragrance. Her hair was somewhat wet. She was barefoot, baring her slender legs as well as a large piece of snow-white skin on her chest and her neck. There were some hickeys on her chest, which had been done mischievously by Qin Sheng last night. She looked extremely sexy. Any man who looked at her could not control himself well.

Qin Sheng stared at Song Zhiuqiu so straightforwardly that anyone could sense the masculine desire in his eyes. It was not until Song Zhiqiu snorted that Qin Sheng retracted his stare in a hurry and said, “Come over here quickly.”

Song Zhiqiu teased him by saying, “If you want to stare at me, do it openly. Don’t look at me with shifty eyes. So nasty of you.”

Qin Sheng refuted her randomly as he replied, “It’s not like I didn’t enjoy staring at you last night.”

Song Zhiqiu was upset about what had happened yesterday and did not know how she should face Qin Sheng. What Qin Sheng said made her blush. However, she acted disapprovingly.

Song Zhiqiu and Qin Sheng stared at each other, lowered their heads, and did not say anything at all as they enjoyed the breakfast. The breakfast that Qin Sheng had made was pretty simple, including fried eggs and bread along with a fruit platter and orange juice.

Due to the crazy thing that they had done last night, the atmosphere between Qin Sheng and Song Zhiqiu was somewhat awkward. In the end, Qin Sheng could not help asking, “About last night?”

Song Zhiqiu broke the talk short in a hurry and replied quite solemnly, “Let’s stop talking about it since it has passed. Let’s act as if nothing happened.” It was not until after she said so that she resumed the imposing manner of the Eldest Lady of the Song family.

As a matter of fact, Qin Sheng definitely planned to meet with Song Zhiqiu. However, he had not intended to meet her so soon. Never did it occur to him that the relationship between Song Zhiqiu and him would develop so quickly. What had happened last night disrupted Qin Sheng’s arrangement. He did not know how he should get along with Song Zhiqiu in the following days, since many things would be awkward.

Qin Sheng let out a sigh. He was a disowned dog under somebody else’s roof now. Originally, he had planned to come to Tsingtao to ask for some favors from Song Zhiqiu. Consequently, at this moment, he did not look confident at all.

He wanted to avenge his enemies and go back to Hangzhou and Shanghai. Consequently, he had to stand out in Tsingtao...

Song Zhiqiu lifted up her head and sensed that Qin Sheng’s mood was somewhat down. She somewhat could not bear it so she asked, “When did you arrive in Tsingtao?”

Qin Sheng lifted up his head, smiled, and replied, “Yesterday afternoon.”

Song Zhiqiu asked tentatively, “Did you come to Tsingtao for travel or business?” She wanted to figure out Qin Sheng’s purpose. Someone whom she liked had disrupted the pace of her life all of a sudden and thrown her originally peaceful heart into chaos. She did not like that kind of feeling at all.

Qin Sheng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, “Neither. I can be counted as a homeless loner now. That is the reason why I chose to come to Tsingtao. I wonder, can Miss Song take me in?”

Song Zhiqiu did not trust Qin Sheng’s wording at all. She sneered as she said, “Do you think I’ll believe what you said? Could you ever become a loner? Take thousands of steps back, it is benevolent of me to not kill you. Is it possible that I will take you in? Even if I won’t kill you, in your opinion, will the Song family let you go?”

Qin Sheng let out a sigh as he replied, “I apologize to you for what happened in the beginning.”

Song Zhiqiu smiled as she replied, “I don’t accept your apology. Consequently, after we finish breakfast, you’d better disappear before I change my mind. Never should you come into my sight again.”

Qin Sheng drank up the remaining orange juice in the cup and replied insensibly, “The way I see it, you won’t be that merciless. Even if your family members intend to kill me, you definitely will protect me.”

Song Zhiqiu stared at Qin Sheng angrily as she said, “You are so cheeky. In that case, you can give it a try.” She admitted that she had been worked up last night. However, she knew there were no more possibilities between Qin Sheng and her. Putting aside that she would not dwell on the past actions, even if she were willing to do so, she could not imagine how forcible the resistance from her family would be. After all, due to that issue, the Song family held a grudge against Qin Sheng. In addition, the Song family lost ancient jade because of Qin Sheng.

As expected, the situation went on in an unpredictable direction. Qin Sheng regretted doing what he had done last night. To be more exact, he had been thinking in a self-righteous way. After all, he had offended both the Song family and Song Zhiqiu so severely. First, he had run away the night before the engagement banquet, disgracing both the Song family and Song Zhiqiu greatly. After all, as the Eldest Lady of the Song family, Song Zhiqiu’s engagement banquet had caught everyone’s eyes. In the end, the leading man had disappeared, which was such a great joke. Later on, Qin Sheng had taken away the Zhang family’s ancient jade conveniently, which the Song family had exerted great efforts to obtain. After that, he had been hunted by the Song family. His coming to Tsingtao today was simply a naked challenge to the bottom line of the Song family. It was true that Song Zhiqiu had been kind to him since she had not killed him or informed the Song family of his whereabouts.

Since Song Zhiqiu had said so, Qin Sheng, who was a masculine man anyhow, could not bend his knees and beg for her forgiveness tamely. If he did so, what he had experienced in the past few days and Gu Qingyang’s death would be in vain.

“Does your family need an on-site son-in-law? If so, maybe I can try again?” Since the situation had gone this far, Qin Sheng did not care about anything at all and went on challenging Song Zhiqiu’s bottom line.

As Song Zhiqiu heard Qin Sheng’s unscrupulous words, she restrained her impulse to turn hostile to Qin Sheng, stood up with a grave look on her face, and said, “Leave within half an hour. Otherwise, you’ll have to deal with the consequence on your own.”

After Song Zhiqiu finished her words, she did not want to see Qin Sheng anymore so she walked directly to the bedroom. Following that, Qin Sheng stood up and pulled Song Zhiqiu’s arms right away. Song Zhiqiu, who was caught off guard, fell directly into Qin Sheng’s arms. At this moment, their posture was quite ambiguous. Song Zhiqiu felt ashamed and indignant.

Qin Sheng said quite shamelessly, “Are you going to turn your back on your old friend in this way? Could it be that I did not serve you well last night? How about you try me once again?”

This time, Song Zhiqiu really got angry. She stared at Qin Sheng angrily as she said, “Scoundrel! If you dare, I will take it as a bite by a dog. However, I will turn you into a eunuch personally.”

Qin Sheng felt that he had gone a little too far with the game and did not think that the current situation was an interesting one. He let out a sigh, released Song Zhiqiu, and said, “Sorry. It was just a joke.”

Qin Sheng walked to the front of the French windows slowly. The weather outside was very good. He did not feel as gloomy as yesterday. Since he could not stay in Tsingtao, he could choose to go to another place. In this case, he would not stay here and disturb Song Zhiqiu’s heart and thoughts.

Wherever he would go and whatever he would go, his goal was constant. It was because he would not let Gu Qingyang die in vain.

Qin Sheng had become lonely all of a sudden, which Song Zhiqiu felt somewhat unaccustomed to. With his back to Song Zhiqiu, Qin Sheng said, “Before, when I was young and frivolous, sometimes I would do something involuntarily. I sincerely apologize to you for the harm I did to you. Whether you will accept my apology or not, I need to say sorry to you once again. I am also thankful for what you sacrificed for me. However, I did not have the luck to enjoy it. To be honest, it was true that I did want to come to Tsingtao to seek shelter from you. It was because I really had nowhere to go now. However, I have made up my mind to leave here now. Since the world is so vast, anyway, there will be a place for me. A lot of things happened during this period. I am not in a good mood. If you still think of me as your friend, if you are willing to do it, kindly accompany me to get some fresh air in Tsingtao for a few days. After I leave Tsingtao, from then on, never will we meet each other again.”

Qin Sheng’s attitude change took place all of a sudden. What he had said made Song Zhiqiu feel somewhat puzzled as well as overwhelmed. It was unknown why she had secretly felt sorry for Qin Sheng without reason. However, even so, she dared not believe all of Qin Sheng’s words.

After Song Zhiqiu was hesitant for a while, she nodded and consented to Qin Sheng’s request in the end as she replied, “Okay.” Though she did not want Qin Sheng to disrupt her life, she did not intend to treat him cruelly. After all, she had liked Qin Sheng once. In this case, she would treat Qin Sheng as a friend and accompany him to relax in Tsingtao for a few days. After that, they would not bother with each other anymore.

Qin Sheng replied contently, “I want to take a stroll by the seaside.”

Half an hour later, Qin Sheng and Song Zhiqiu left the Navy Center. Though the Navy Center was pretty close to the seaside, Song Zhiqiu did not want Qin Sheng to be seen by any outsiders. Consequently, they drove out of the underground garage. The car of the Eldest Lady of the Song family was a quite understated Mercedes Smart. As for the reason, it was because the Eldest Lady of the Song family was not good at parking at all. Normally, the driver would pick her up; seldom did she drive on her own.

When they drove out, Zhuang Zhou and Nan Gong, who had been keeping watch at the entrance, followed them closely in a hurry. Nan Gong said somewhat resentfully, “I thought they would be an item for a whole day since they met each other after being apart for a long time. I don’t know how to evaluate our Young Master. Could it be that he became completely depraved?”

Zhuang Zhou found it funny as he said, “Why do I get the feeling that you are jealous?”

Nan Gong refuted in a hurry. “Jealous? Why should I be? It’s just that I hate to see a kind of situation like this.”

Zhuang Zhou was silent. He did not give a damn about that kind of situation at all.

Qin Sheng had been missing for more than two days. The group of people who were far away in Hangzhou still could not locate him. In the end, they had no choice but to announce that the mission had failed completely. However, even so, somebody had to be the scapegoat...

After Chu Sikong and Feng He retreated back to Hangzhou, Chang Baji followed in their footsteps and rushed back to Hangzhou. However, instead of contacting the previous group of people, he had been secluding himself in the marketplace quietly and following Gu Xiaobo in secret all the time. In the end, he finally knew Gu Qingyang’s ending, which made him feel very upset. However, he was not carried away by indignation. Based on his current connections, he could not necessarily beat the group of people that included Gu Xiaobo. If he intended to kill Gu Xiaobo, he needed to recover from his injury first.

In the villa in Xixi, all the people who had taken part in the operation this time had arrived. The atmosphere was somewhat tense. That was because they had to report to the tycoons behind the scenes. As a result, they had to show a result...
