There's a type of person who trifles with the world, treats love as a plaything, and uses lovers for amusement. Yet, you still love him, even though you know he's not good, and you can'...
Chapter 100 Meeting
Secretary Lin couldn't help but feel moist in her eyes as she spoke. She had always followed Jingrong's lead. Even though G-Dragon was still her idol, seeing the two people who loved each other so much before part ways now, as if they would never meet again in this life, she could not only sigh and feel sad for Jingrong, but more importantly, she felt sorry for her idol. How sad would G-Dragon be to see that the woman he loved was going to be engaged to another man?
Secretary Lin couldn't imagine it, but watching Big Bang flying around the world, working everywhere, constantly busy like a spinning top, she couldn't help but imagine that G-Dragon was using work to numb himself. It was so heartbreaking that two people who loved each other so much couldn't be together. However, no matter how much she felt sorry for him, Secretary Lin never considered using her position to create another opportunity for G-Dragon and Jing Rong. Jing Rong's relationship with Jung Yunho was complicated to begin with, and it wasn't because of any romantic feelings that brought them together. Jing Rong did all this for the Xue Group, and now that everything was public knowledge, if G-Dragon got involved, the consequences would be unimaginable. Secretary Lin absolutely couldn't remove Jing Rong's ties at this time. Not to mention that she was a member of the Xue Group, just seeing Jing Rong's appreciation for her made her unable to do such a thing. And even if G-Dragon got involved, what would it matter? It was still impossible.
So, Secretary Lin was just a little more emotionally involved, and she was still clear-headed. Otherwise, if she came up with some mythical "true love is everything," it would be a disservice to Jingrong's appreciation and cultivation of her. Secretary Lin truly didn't expect that one day she would personally bring G-Dragon to Jingrong, just as she had never imagined that the president she respected and admired would have such a moment. For a moment, she even doubted whether this person was the president she knew. Gloomy, irritable, and even a bit of unreasonable madness made her feel so unfamiliar. Of course, no matter how much Secretary Lin was in disbelief about Jingrong, it couldn't compare to G-Dragon's action. The proud G-Dragon, after breaking up with Jingrong and being deeply hurt, actually dropped everything and ran to Jingrong at the news! She had just seen the news online yesterday about Big Bang arriving in Indonesia. With the concert about to begin, he actually ran back to Korea!
Is he crazy? - After receiving Quan Zhilong's call, Secretary Lin's first reaction was the same as Jin Nanguo's. She was also worried about Quan Zhilong's crazy behavior, but she was just Jingrong's secretary and had no right to preach to Quan Zhilong. Besides, he had come back from thousands of miles away, so how could she ask him to go back immediately? Now that he is here, let him come and see him regardless of whether he succeeds or not. Maybe their desperate president will cheer up again after seeing his beloved! Zhang Jingran happened to be in the ward. After receiving Quan Zhilong's call, Secretary Lin went to ask for instructions immediately. Unlike Secretary Lin who was full of expectations, Zhang Jingran was just trying his best. He pondered for a moment and nodded: "There are only a few of us here now. His coming will not have any impact, but you have to keep it confidential and don't let anyone find out, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhang Jingran naturally considered the problem more comprehensively than Secretary Lin. When Secretary Lin heard that Quan Zhilong was coming, his first reaction was surprise. Then he couldn't wait to go to the airport to pick him up in person. In the current situation, Secretary Lin felt that only Quan Zhilong could be treated preferentially by their president. Zhang Jingran's first reaction was to consider the current conditions. The hospital was run by his family and he was completely at their disposal. From doctors to nurses and Secretary Lin and Assistant Xu, they were all his own people and kept secrets absolutely. Jingrong's friends had been sitting on the bench here from morning to afternoon. It was really impossible for Jingrong to calm down. Besides, he couldn't see anyone, so he could only catch them outside and keep asking questions. Then he was annoyed and sent them away. The next round of bombing should wait until they have recuperated, at least until tomorrow. As Jing Rong's official boyfriend, Zheng Yunhao also failed to gain any special status. Jing Rong would not see him and if anyone disobeyed and went in, all the glass and porcelain that could be smashed in the ward would be broken to the ground, and all of them would hit them, and a bloody head was considered the least of their worries. In such a situation, Zheng Yunhao had no choice but to give up. The big star persuaded and managed to get half a morning's time, but seeing Jing Rong's worrying condition, he had to delay until after one o'clock in the afternoon before he had to leave. He must be busy until late at night, and there was no need to worry that he would suddenly come back.
After the analysis, Zhang Jingran felt that there was no problem. He would carefully bring G-Dragon over and then send him away without anyone noticing. Anyway, everyone knew that Big Bang was in Indonesia. No one would be able to discover him unless they saw his true face. Of course, if they were unlucky and were discovered, it would be really difficult to deal with. If their president was normal, they wouldn't have to worry about this at all. But they were afraid that if she was abnormal, she would try her best to cause trouble for everyone.
Zhang Jingran sighed deeply and waited at the elevator entrance with some concern. Within two minutes, the elevator door opened and a man and a woman walked out. Zhang Jingran was relieved when he saw Quan Zhilong's attire. This man knew his limits and did not come in a big way. Zhang Jingran remained calm and walked forward to greet Quan Zhilong, "Long time no see, Mr. Quan."
"Long time no see, Vice President Zhang." Some time ago, Zhang Jingran was elected Vice President of the Xue Group. Along with the young president, Jingrong, he was widely reported by the media. After all, for such a large company, the leaders were two young men under thirty, which made industry insiders wonder if the era of youth had arrived. Even Quan Zhilong's colleagues, who had never paid much attention to business, often discussed this, and it was difficult for him to pretend he didn't know. However, Quan Zhilong still felt a little awkward around Zhang Jingran. Jingrong had told him directly that from the very beginning, President Xue had intended for Jingrong and Zhang Jingran to be together. Although it didn't work out, and it was clear that there was no possibility between them, Quan Zhilong, knowing this, still felt a little awkward when facing Zhang Jingran, even though he no longer had the qualifications and no need to.
Zhang Jingran didn't care about Quan Zhilong's little movement. After greeting him, the smile on his face immediately faded a lot. He said to Quan Zhilong solemnly: "Mr. Quan, to be honest, I really appreciate you coming here at this time. This matter shouldn't have troubled you, but we really have no other way. I hope you can put aside the past and persuade our president to help her get out of her sadness!" Regardless of whether Quan Zhilong can do it or not, he said good things first. As he said, there really is no other way. After speaking, Zhang Jingran solemnly bowed to Quan Zhilong. It was a very formal bow, bending deeply, and he didn't intend to get up until he heard his answer. Seeing this, Secretary Lin also hurriedly bowed with Zhang Jingran.
Quan Zhilong pursed his lips, his eyes dimming. If he had accepted Zhang Jingran's words, it would have been like he'd been invited here, but that wasn't the case at all. Quan Zhilong wasn't in the mood to dwell on it now. Initially, he'd been merely worried after hearing Secretary Lin's words, but Zhang Jingran's words made him realize just how dire Jingrong's condition truly was. He couldn't wait to see her in person, and since his time was limited, there was no point wasting time with Zhang Jingran.
Soon, Quan Zhilong nodded: "I know the limits, don't worry."
"Thank you so much!" Zhang Jingran felt very sincere when he said this. G-Dragon responded to his words so readily, which proved that he did not have too many thoughts when he came here this time, but was just worried about Jing Rong.
Honestly, Zhang Jingran saw through Jingrong's feelings for Quan Zhilong much more thoroughly than Secretary Lin. He'd just been trying his luck to get Quan Zhilong to come over, and it turned out to be a lucky coincidence. Their president, who was almost going crazy, didn't react like crazy to seeing Quan Zhilong come in. Zhang Jingran breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jingrong, "President, Mr. Quan is here to see you."
Xue Jingrong unexpectedly took care of him for the first time. Of course, she just stared at Quan Zhilong, her eyes never leaving her, and at the same time answered Zhang Jingran's words: "Leave him here, and you all get out."
If it weren't for the strange look in the other person's eyes when he looked at Quan Zhilong, Zhang Jingran would have cried with joy. Their president finally spoke up! Although he was a little worried about his president's condition, Zhang Jingran was still very optimistic. It was a good sign that he didn't smash things anymore. He believed that Quan Zhilong would keep up the good work. Zhang Jingran obeyed the order and closed the door when he went out. As soon as he went out, he met the worried eyes of Secretary Lin and Assistant Xu. Zhang Jingran said: "The president is much better now. It was she who asked Mr. Quan to stay."
Secretary Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with satisfaction: "I knew that the president treated gdxi differently." The two men glanced at her at the same time and did not comment on this topic. No matter whether G-Dragon was a special existence in the president's heart, it was impossible for them.
Zhang Jingran said, "I think the president and Mr. Quan have a lot to discuss, and there shouldn't be any other issues. Please pay attention here. I'm going back to the company to handle business. Please let me know if anything else happens."
"No problem, Vice President, Secretary Lin and I will take care of this."
"That's fine." Zhang Jingran nodded, picking up his briefcase and preparing to leave. He already had a lot going on today, and since the president couldn't handle official business, he was even busier. He also had to look after the president who was constantly having problems. Too many things were already piling up at the company, and he was anxious to go back. Suddenly, Zhang Jingran turned around and instructed the two of them, "By the way, remember to ask Mr. Quan about his plans later. If you need to provide accommodation, arrange for him to stay at Jinxiu Nianhua."
They both nodded in unison, "Okay." This wasn't a problem, because G-Dragon's sudden return made it impossible to be sure his company had approved it. If he'd returned quietly, he probably wouldn't want to go to his family to avoid being discovered, so he might as well stay in a hotel. G-Dragon had been so helpful to them, so this little thing really was their responsibility.
After Zhang Jingran left, Assistant Xu and Secretary Lin were not idle either. They had been following Jingrong from the beginning. Even if Jingrong couldn't handle official business now, there were some things they could handle. Being away from the company didn't mean they couldn't work. There was a small lounge next to Jingrong's ward, and they usually stayed there. While working, Secretary Lin couldn't help but ask Assistant Xu, "Brother Xu, do you think that now that GDXI is here, the president should be able to return to normal soon, right?"
Assistant Xu put down the pen in his hand, thought for a moment, and decided that he couldn't give up hope. He nodded firmly, "That should be the case. The president won't be defeated so easily."
However, the atmosphere in the quiet ward was not as good as Secretary Lin and the others had imagined. Although Xue Jingrong was special to Quan Zhilong, he looked at him as if he were an enemy, as if he wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart. Quan Zhilong finally realized that what Zhang Jingran and the others called a "change in temperament" was actually a very euphemistic description. He was clearly a completely different person!
Although he felt familiar with the person in front of him, at this moment, G-Dragon was so indifferent when looking at her that he even surprised himself. It was not like the happy feeling he had every time he saw her before.
For a moment, Quan Zhilong felt that this was not the Jingrong he loved madly. Quan Zhilong stood at the door, just quietly looking into Xue Jingrong's gloomy eyes, and had no intention of getting closer.
Love turns to hate, and this obviously refers to the situation of Xue Jingrong. She also loves G-Dragon madly, but she can never get him. She wants to use death to retaliate against him, so that he will fall into darkness and dare not love again for the rest of his life - anyway, what she can't get, no one else can get.
Just before falling asleep, Xue Jingrong regretted it. There are many ways to take revenge, and there is no need to risk her own life. But the dead cannot be resurrected. Xue Jingrong knew that everything was over for her, but the miraculous thing was that she was still conscious. She seemed to have come to a different world, a world that spoke a different language. She knew it was Chinese, but she didn't know why she went to that place. In the crowd, she saw a pair of beautiful eyes and a face exactly like hers. She thought that person was herself, but after walking forward, she found out that it was not her at all. Although the face looked exactly the same, the girl had simple long hair, fair skin, and was older than her. Her eyes were clear and moving. Although she had no expression on her face, she had to admit that temperament conquered everything. In order to keep up with that person's fashion, she always changes her hairstyle and dares to try all kinds of colors. She always wears heavy makeup on her face, and wears exaggerated clothes from big brands, thinking that is the trend. Indeed, many people say that she is fashionable and unique, but no one has ever thought that she is beautiful. However, the girl in front of her, with no makeup on, long black hair standing up high, without even bangs, revealing a beautiful forehead and widow's peak, a perfect face shape, and perfect body proportions, just wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, makes people think of the word "goddess". She is really beautiful, with such eyes matched with this face, plus just the right temperament, she is so dazzling that people can't take their eyes off her.
At that moment, Xue Jingrong couldn't help but think, if he had a unique style and outstanding temperament like this woman, even if he didn't cater to his taste, he should be able to attract his attention, right? Xue Jingrong, who always thought he was invincible, met and admitted for the first time in front of the woman who looked like him that she was just like that, not as good as she imagined, so it was normal for him not to love her. This thought flashed through Xue Jingrong's mind, and she was followed by crazy regret and unwillingness. She could actually be herself, she could actually be so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her. She should use her original appearance to make him fall in love with her. Why should she blindly cater to that person's taste and make herself unlike herself?
But the same thing goes, once you die, everything is over. No matter how much resentment Xue Jingrong has in her heart, it will be of no use. But when she felt that she was about to disappear in the crowd, she saw a transparent woman with the same face as her floating out. Xue Jingrong opened her eyes wide, completely unaware of what was going on. The transparent body seemed different from her own. She was unconscious and could not see anything. She just floated in one direction with the wind. Xue Jingrong couldn't help being curious, and she followed him strangely. In a flash, the scene around her changed. She saw herself lying on the hospital bed. That woman who was not her woke up. There was a commotion in the ward, and then her dear father came with his stepmother who was only a few years older than her, and scolded "her" in the same old way. Xue Jingrong hated the woman who wanted to snatch everything from her, so she glared at her fiercely. As a result, she saw that "she", who had no expression at first, also glared at the woman. Xue Jingrong suddenly understood something... She could still control her body, but she needed to have a very strong will. However, in her current condition, she might disappear at any time. It was absolutely impossible for her to control it all the time.
Xue Jingrong couldn't help but laugh out loud. God was kind to her and gave her such a good opportunity. Even if her body was out of her control, so what? She wanted to see that man regret it, regretting being so cold and heartless to her before. She wanted him to be as unrequited as she was. No, even worse off than her. She wanted him to suffer a hundred times more. He had to experience all the pain and suffering that could be endured in love! Xue Jingrong trembled with excitement whenever she thought of that scene. She was really, really looking forward to that day.
Xue Jingrong admitted that the woman was smarter and more attractive than her. She had spent a lot of effort to trick her into agreeing to her conditions. Then, she watched the man step by step, from being arrogant and arrogant to lowering himself to the dust for the one he loved. To be honest, when she thought about it, she really looked forward to this day, but when she actually saw it, she couldn't help but feel angry. The feeling of betrayal became stronger and stronger. In addition to Quan Zhilong, there were also her group of friends and her most unkind father. They were so satisfied with this fake! Of course, what Xue Jingrong couldn't stand the most was Quan Zhilong's deep love for the woman. The strong jealousy and hatred made her not feel the joy of revenge at all. She really wanted to rush out and strangle the man and woman to death.
So, the best will always be the best, and this cannot be changed even after death.
Seeing G-Dragon standing so far away from him, Xue Jingrong became even angrier and started to mock him: "It's only been a short time, and you don't recognize me anymore? You are so happy with foreign women, I really shouldn't trust you."
Quan Zhilong's eyes flickered, and his doubts grew even greater. However, he ignored Xue Jingrong's eyes and her sarcastic words. Looking at that pale face without a trace of blood, he felt a surge of heartache. This strange and contradictory feeling made Quan Zhilong calm down. He looked at Xue Jingrong calmly and said softly, "I just wanted to come see you."
"Look at me? Look at me to see if I'm dead?" Xue Jingrong's tone became even more sarcastic, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not dead yet."
"Jingrong..." Quan Zhilong looked down at the ground and called out the name tenderly. Where he couldn't see, Xue Jingrong's face suddenly darkened and he said in a cold tone: "Call me Xue Jingrong!"
Quan Zhilong ignored him and just whispered again: "Jingrong, even though we are separated..."
"Call me Xue Jingrong!" Xue Jingrong shouted angrily at Quan Zhilong, "Do you hear me? Call me Xue Jingrong!"
Quan Zhilong finally raised his head and looked straight at Xue Jingrong, and said calmly: "Even if we break up, do I no longer have the right to call your name, Jingrong?"
"I told you not to call me Jingrong. I'm not that woman at all!" Xue Jingrong was so angry at G-Dragon that she shouted this sentence irrationally. Before she realized it, she swept the beautiful fruit basket on the small coffee table to the ground. With a "bang", many fruits were smashed. The red, yellow and green juices were mixed together, looking very messy.
Quan Zhilong's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. He just stared at Xue Jingrong's face in a daze. After smashing the things, Xue Jingrong calmed down a little. She once again looked at Quan Zhilong with a cold gaze and sneered, "It's me who doesn't want you. I'm with Zheng Yunhao not just because of Xue's. He confessed to me a long time ago and said that he didn't mind our relationship. He said that he was much more classy than you. Anyone with a little bit of brains would know who to choose. But Quan Zhilong, you were just abandoned. Are you so hit that you don't even want your self-esteem?"
Quan Zhilong remained silent, standing not far from Xue Jingrong, waiting for her to continue. "I say, Quan Zhilong, you remain calm even after being humiliated like this. You are truly shameless. Are you still a man? Do you have any backbone? Even if you were a dog, you would have left long ago after being scolded like this, right?"
Xue Jingrong's words grew increasingly vicious and harsh, yet strangely, Quan Zhilong didn't seem to feel the slightest bit of pain. After all, this person who had so wantonly humiliated him... wasn't the one he loved. Though it was a fantasy, Quan Zhilong didn't find it absurd at all. He could only explain it with this explanation, perhaps a second personality or something. Otherwise, why had her personality changed so drastically at that moment? Before the change, she was just like the woman before him, hysterical. He absolutely couldn't possibly fall for such an unreasonable woman!
Xue Jingrong could not see anything else from Quan Zhilong's calm face, so she became more and more irritable. She lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and planned to walk to Quan Zhilong. However, after taking a few steps, she felt dizzy, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground. Quan Zhilong immediately stepped forward to support her. Xue Jingrong turned her head and looked at the man who was finally no longer calm. With worry in his eyes, he helped her to the bed and even covered her with the quilt. Xue Jingrong was dazed for a while, and suddenly had an urge to cry. In her lifetime, she finally saw him being so gentle and caring to her, but it was not really for her, Xue Jingrong's soul.
But what to do? She had been holding on for so long, and she was about to disappear. This time was different from the past. She had forcibly imprisoned that person and had absolute control over her body. She had used up all her energy, so this time, it would be a complete disappearance. She would no longer exist. It was truly irreversible. She didn't mind at first. After all, her biggest wish had been fulfilled. Her father had passed away. If she went down early, maybe she could be reunited with her father. She just wanted to see him with her own eyes, so she forced herself to wait, thinking that he would not be there. But when she was about to despair, he really appeared miraculously. She really didn't want to leave now. He was so gentle to her. Even if it wasn't for her, Xue Jingrong, she would be willing to go.
Xue Jingrong felt a pang of pain in her heart, and she didn't even have the strength to get angry. She felt her heart beating slower and weaker, and her breath was getting weaker and weaker. She was almost unable to breathe, as if she would die in the next second, but she still had so many things she wanted to say to him.
Xue Jingrong's unwillingness became stronger and stronger. When Quan Zhilong settled her down and stood up to distance himself from her, Xue Jingrong reached out and grabbed his collar. They were so close that they could hear each other's breathing. Xue Jingrong's eyes moved inch by inch on Quan Zhilong's face. Suddenly, she spoke: "You, who I thought would never love you, finally fell in love with someone and couldn't extricate yourself. You did everything for her that you thought was impossible before. For her, you lowered your bottom line again and again, gave up your dignity, until you were down to dust. You did everything you could, but she is not worthy of your love. She doesn't love you. She pretends to be nice to you just to get revenge, just to make you suffer. In her heart, any friend is more important than you. She can give up on you at any time and turn away without any nostalgia. No matter how you beg, she will not look back..."
The more G-Dragon listened, the darker his expression became, but he had no intention of interrupting Xue Jingrong because he subconsciously felt that this was referring to him and her.
"By the way, she's also cheating on me. You didn't know that last time I saw them kissing passionately on G.R., but that was a small matter. But don't worry, Jung Yunho isn't a threat. Do you believe that you and Jung Yunho combined aren't as important as Dong Youngbae?"
