Chairman Husband, Too Boorish - 139.1

Chapter 139.1 : I am here to congratulate her as her superior.

There was an aromatherapy on the coffee table. Li Yun Qin leaned over to take a look. It should be a special one for the hotel. She wanted the most upscale suite, but she didn't like the smell very much.

She took off her purple fur coat and put it aside. She sat down gracefully and heard a knock on the door soon.

She naturally didn't take the initiative to open the door. It was already arranged. The person at the door knocked three times and then pushed the door open by herself.

"You are neither early nor late." Li Yun Qin pointed to the sofa in front of her, her tone was quite gentle. She looked at the woman standing at the entrance and said, "Come and sit down."

Qin Mu Hua tightened her handbag, and the two women's eyes met in the air. Neither of them had the intention of dodging. She walked over and sat opposite Li Yun Qin, taking a deep breath, "Mrs. Liang, you are looking for me today ..."

"Don't call me Mrs. Liang." Li Yun Qin suddenly interrupted her, with a hint of bitterness on the corner of her mouth, "For so many years, countless people have called me Mrs. Liang. I thought I was numb to it, but now I still feel uncomfortable when you call me like that."

Qin Mu Hua glanced at her and could feel that this woman didn't have much malice towards her. In fact, before she came, she already knew why she was looking for her today. Originally, she really thought she would say bad things to her, but it was obviously her own petty mind. Qin Mu Hua pondered for a moment and said, "What do you want to say to me? Why don't you just say it directly."

"You should know what I want to say to you." Li Yun Qin sighed lightly. As a wealthy lady for many years, she naturally couldn't be compared with a shrew. Even if she was really unhappy, she would not lose her composure in front of Qin Mu Hua. When she spoke, "Some things have happened for so many years, and I don't want to pursue anything anymore, but there are some things ... I think I need to make it clear to you."

"Mrs. Liang ... please speak."

"I know you know Bai Qi's affairs very well. In fact, I knew him first and he fell in love with me first ... But in the end, he married you and had children ... There is nothing to say. These are his own choices. Although it has been so many years, it is impossible for a woman to forget her first love. Ms. Qin, I think you should be able to understand my feelings, so I came to you today for only one purpose, that is, I don't want your daughter to be with my son."

Qin Mu Hua was not surprised at all. What else could Li Yun Qin come to her for? It was nothing more than the things between Yan Liang and Liang Xi Cheng.

She paused and relaxed her sitting posture a little, "I can understand your difficulties, but I can't support your statement. Children's affairs are their affairs after all. They have their own world. Even if you tell me that you don't agree with your son and my daughter being together, I can't stop them from being together. I believe you understand this better than me."

Li Yun Qin's face changed, "... Are you counting on them to be together?"

"I don't have any expectations. They can be together because they choose the path they want." Qin Mu Hua looked at Li Yun Qin's eyes and was unwilling, but she insisted on saying that she didn't care. This was clearly a self-contradictory statement. She suppressed the desire to sigh and finally said, "I know that you just don't want to see us mother and daughter, because for you, our existence now will make you very uncomfortable."

"Since you know everything, I don't want to hide it."

Li Yun Qin looked away and replied a little stiffly, "I really don't like seeing you. I think, if it were you, you wouldn't think of seeing me today! But Bai Qi has been ... dead for so many years, I really didn't know about it. I don't want to resent it anymore, but I absolutely can't accept that your daughter with Bai Qi will become my daughter-in-law. Ms. Qin, even if you think about it from my perspective ... Anyway, none of the elders of the Liang family agree to this marriage, and there is no point for you to stay here. I am willing to give you money and send you abroad ..."

"I won't accept your money."

Qin Mu Hua interrupted her simply, and finally sighed softly, and said slowly, "... Actually, Bai Qi ... told me about you back then."

Li Yun Qin's eyes flashed, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Qin Mu Hua was obviously a little expectant, "... Did he tell you about me?"

Qin Mu Hua nodded.

She also didn't expect that the woman Bai Qi loved back then would be Liang Xi Cheng's mother. How small this world is. After so many years of twists and turns, she would actually meet her in such a situation.

She is also a woman. When a woman sees a woman, she knows that Li Yun Qin has never forgotten Bai Qi from beginning to end. Until now, she still loves that man deeply—her husband.

She can't be without any feelings. Of course, she is also flesh and blood. Even though Bai Qi has been dead for so many years, she still loves her husband deeply.

But at this time, at this age, in this situation ... jealousy is obviously unnecessary.

Her thumb gently brushed across her fingers, thinking for a moment, and slowly said, "... I know that Bai Qi liked a woman back then, but I didn't expect that person to be you. Before he married me, he told me that he really loved you, but your status and position did not allow you to be together. In fact, he didn't really feel sorry for you. He left you because your father found him."

"Bai Qi is a designer, and he always has a bit of arrogance. I don't know what your father said to him. He didn't tell me, and I wouldn't ask carefully. Now he is dead, and I think no one will ever know those words. But you and I know Bai Qi's character very well. He would leave you so decisively. Your father's words must have hurt his self-esteem."

Li Yun Qin subconsciously clenched her palms, and the flesh on the back of her hands almost burst. Yes, no one knows why he left her at the beginning, because he is dead, and her father has passed away long ago ... She always thought that Bai Qi was fickle, so she impulsively agreed to marry Liang Qi Cheng as promised by his parents. For so many years, she has been biting her breath, but in the end, this is the result. Who fooled whom? Or, has she always been self-righteous?

"... How did he die?" After a long time, Li Yun Qin spoke, and her voice was not as elegant as before, but with a few obvious sobs.

Qin Mu Hua's eyes flickered, and she quickly lowered them. She did not answer immediately. She moved her fingers, picked up her handbag from the side, and then stood up. "I don't want to talk about this matter. I think it has nothing to do with you. The reason why I came to see you today is that I know some things about you and my husband in the past. I know that Bai Qi actually wants you to know these things, so I came to see you on his behalf. But ... that was too long ago. The children's road is already very difficult, so let's not get in the way. I've said everything I want to say. Goodbye."

Qin Mu Hua turned around and was about to leave, but Li Yun Qin suddenly stood up, strode forward, and grabbed her wrist without caring about her image, with tears in her eyes, "Tell me, how did Bai Qi die?"

"…" Qin Mu Hua obviously didn't want to say it, and she couldn't say it. She reached out and tried to push away Li Yun Qin's hand that was grabbing her wrist, "... I'm sorry, I don't want to talk about this."

"Why? How did Bai Qi die? I asked someone to investigate for a long time, but I couldn't find anything. Tell me, how did he die back then?"

"I'm sorry, it's been too long since this happened, I really don't want to talk about it now." Qin Mu Hua pushed Li Yun Qin away and walked out of the room.

Li Yun Qin stood in the distance in a daze—she didn't want to say it, and she didn't even know how he died.

… What has she been insisting on all these years?

So what if she stands above everyone?

So what if she is the mistress of Liang's?

She ... can't even find out how the person she loves most in her heart died.

Li Yun Qin suddenly came to her senses and looked at the entrance, but Qin Mu Hua was gone.

No, she had to find out, she had to find out!

She didn't even have time to take her coat, she picked up her skirt and hurriedly chased after her. As soon as she turned the corner, she saw Qin Mu Hua's back flashing into the elevator entrance. She hurriedly chased after her, but the double doors of the elevator were already closed. She saw that the elevator did not stop on the first floor, so she knew that Qin Mu Hua went to the underground parking lot.

This was only the 5th floor, so she simply took the back stairs.

The elevator was faster after all. When Li Yun Qin arrived at the parking lot, Qin Mu Hua had already left the elevator. But perhaps God was helping her. When Qin Mu Hua left the elevator, she received a call. When she answered the call, her steps slowed down. When she put away her phone and walked towards the entrance, Li Yun Qin had already caught up with her.

"Don't go!" She stretched out her hand and grabbed Qin Mu Hua's handbag with some panting, "... Speak clearly before you go."

Qin Mu Hua didn't expect that she would catch up with her like this. She frowned and pulled her handbag, but couldn't pull it away. She was a little annoyed, "Please let go. It's not good for people to see it like this."

"If you don't tell me, I won't let go!"

"Li Yun Qin, why are you doing this? It's been so many years since the incident. Haven't you been fine all these years? For some things, people who don't know will be happier than those who know. Why do you have to cling to the past?"

Li Yun Qin shook her head, "No, you know nothing, you can't feel anything! My pain, my persistence, you know nothing, I don't ask you to do anything now, I just want you to tell me—tell me, how did Bai Qi die?"

"I said, I don't want to talk about this anymore, please let go—“

"I won't let go!" Li Yun Qin's eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't tell if she was really so unwilling. She felt that she had no steps to step on, and could only drag her like this, just wanting to know something she didn't know.

She growled uncontrollably, "You have been Bai Qi's wife for more than 20 years, but I have nothing. Have you ever thought about how I feel? I am his first love, I am his childhood sweetheart, I have been looking forward to becoming his bride since I was a child, but he left suddenly ... He shook off my hand, ignored my prayers, said he no longer loved me, and asked me to stay away from him ... Can you imagine that feeling? I loved him throughout my youth, no, more than my entire youth? I still haven't forgotten him ... until now.”

“But he left when he said he would leave, got married when he said he would get married, and died ... died when he said he would ... Over the years, in order to avenge him for abandoning me, I married a man I didn't love, and I wanted to give him a son. I named my son Liang Xi Cheng. Do you know why I named my son Liang Xi Cheng? I just thought that one day, when I see Bai Qi again, I will tell him that my son is called Liang Xi Cheng and my husband is called Liang Qi Cheng. I want him to know that I have also turned around and fallen in love with someone else ..."

"... But it's gone, nothing is left ... He's dead ... Why are you so cruel? I just want to know how he died ..."

Li Yun Qin, this woman, is an elegant lady in the upper class circle. She rarely shows up. When she really faces the camera or others, she doesn't have too many expressions on her face. She has a good family background. Her father used to be the founder of the most famous aristocratic school in City A, and her mother is an antique expert who specializes in appreciating antiques. In fact, she is also a scholarly family, so she has an elegant temperament. When she married Liang Qi Cheng, someone did say that a flower was stuck in cow dung.

People like Liang Qi Cheng, in addition to having a brain full of business skills, are all floating with the smell of money.

But Li Yun Qin married into a wealthy family, and her elegant temperament was not changed by the so-called smell of money. Over the years, everyone can see that Liang Qi Cheng is very devoted to her. Because of this, wherever she went, she seemed to be labeled as high-end and elegant. She would never be like this now—embarrassed, impatient, and all the panic and anxiety seemed to be written on her face ...

Qin Mu Hua couldn't describe her current feelings. She couldn't explain them. Maybe she felt sympathy, or she could empathize with the feeling of loving someone for many years but getting nothing. But ... she really didn't want to talk about Bai Qi's death. There were too many people and things involved. She couldn't.

"Li Yun Qin, there are many people coming in and out here. You are Mrs. Liang now. I hope you respect yourself. If you can find out something, then go ahead and find out. If you can't find out, maybe it's God's will." She pushed Li Yun Qin away and left the parking lot quickly.

—If you can't find out, maybe it's God's will.

Li Yun Qin's mind kept echoing these words. She stood there in a mess for a while and could only cry.

She didn't know how long she stood there. Finally, she turned around and walked back to the elevator in a daze. Before entering the elevator, she wiped the tears from her face.

Elsewhere in the parking lot, inside a black Bentley, the cigarette between Liang Xi Cheng's fingers had burned out. His fingers had not moved at all. The scarlet light touched his skin, and the stinging sensation brought him back to his senses suddenly.

His handsome face, which was always unremarkable, was now filled with strong emotions—shock, surprise, and unbearable sorrow.

—I married a man I didn’t love in order to avenge him for abandoning me.

—I also want to give him a son. I named my son Liang Xi Cheng. Do you know why I named my son Liang Xi Cheng?

—I just thought that one day, when I saw Bai Qi again, I would tell him that my son was Liang Xi Cheng and my husband was Liang Qi Cheng. I wanted him to know that I had also fallen in love with someone else …

Xi Cheng, Xi Cheng …

From childhood to adulthood, everyone in the family liked to call him Ah Cheng, but only his mother liked to call him Xi Cheng.

He thought it was just a habit, but now he knew that it was not …

It turned out that Xi Cheng, Xi Cheng … had another meaning.

It turned out that his existence was just his mother’s revenge on another man …

And that man was Bai Qi … Bai Yan Liang’s father …

***

Yan Liang reached out and threw the orange peel into the trash can, stuffed a piece into her mouth, and slid her white fingers across the notebook, looking at the latest news that had just come out, and her eyebrows twisted.

On the screen, there was the latest financial news. Liang's had a lot of problems recently, so it would naturally often make the headlines, but what was going on with today's headlines?

—Chu Yi Sheng, the head of Far East, said that he was very interested in cooperating with Liang.

Yan Liang had a big question mark in her head.

Chu Yi Sheng, interested in cooperating with Liang?

How is this possible?

Although she had been recuperating at home during this period and rarely went to the company, she had been in EC for so many years before, how could she not know that Far East and Liang had always been in opposition.

Many projects, bidding, as long as there is Far East, there must be Liang, but both sides must fight to the death, Chu Yi Sheng will never want to help Liang Xi Cheng, now Liang is in this situation, shouldn't he open a bottle of red wine to celebrate?

Is it going to rain red?

She closed the computer with a snap, and thought about it and still felt something was wrong, so she picked up the phone to call Qin Zi Yin, but the screen lit up and it showed that it was already 11:30.

It's so late?

Zi Yin should have gone to bed, but why hasn't Liang Xi Cheng come back yet?

A few hours ago, he said he would go find Rex after dinner and said he would be back soon. When he left, it was almost 9 o'clock. Now it's already 11:30, why hasn't he come back yet?

Yan Liang's fingers gently slid across the screen of the phone, and she wanted to dial Liang Xi Cheng's phone several times, but then she thought she was making a fuss.

He was going to see Rex, maybe they had a lot to say ... Liang Xi Cheng was not a person without sense of propriety. He had only been gone for a few hours, why did she call him to track him?

Putting the phone back far away, Yan Liang stood up and stretched, took a set of clothes from the cloakroom, walked into the bathroom and took a simple shower, then went downstairs and heated a cup of milk for herself. After drinking it, she lay on the bed.

It was almost 12 o'clock, and Liang Xi Cheng hadn't come back yet. She endured not calling him, but she was really sleepy and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already the morning of the next day, because she knew that today was the day when the design competition would be announced. Although she already knew her results, she still needed to go through the formalities.

Turning around, she didn't find any signs of someone sleeping next to her.

Yan Liang frowned.

Liang Xi Cheng didn't come back all night last night?

She sat up and realized something was wrong. In fact, since they had been together, Liang Xi Cheng never stayed out overnight. Even if he really had something to do, he would call her and tell her. She quickly got out of bed, ran to the desk, picked up her cell phone and checked it. There was no call or text message.

After thinking about it, she was still worried. She finally dialed Liang Xi Cheng's number, but the other end of the phone said it was turned off.

Yan Liang's doubts became even greater, but after thinking about it, she felt that it might be that Liang was busy. Was he in a meeting? Or his phone was out of battery ...

She found many reasons for herself. She kept telling herself that she didn't need to worry too much. Liang Xi Cheng was not a child. However, he didn't come back all night. He must have been tripped by something.

She reached out and touched her abdomen. She couldn't see anything in her belly for more than three months. Yan Liang lowered her eyes and looked at her fingertips. She decided to go out today.

She took a loose suit and changed into it after showering. When she went downstairs, the servant had already prepared breakfast. She ate a little and received a call in the middle of the meal. It was the organizer of the design competition who called her. It was probably to tell her that she should be at the Century Hotel at 10 am and asked her to be there.

Yan Liang still called Liang Xi Cheng, but the phone was still turned off. She felt a little uneasy, but she kept comforting herself. She sighed, finished breakfast and went out.
