Chapter 32 The Victim's Apology

Spring in Yuancheng is a time of misty drizzle. Those who rejoice admire its dancing beauty, praising its nourishment of all things. Those who are worried, however, find even the air oppressive, like a haze that grows increasingly unbearable as it falls.

Lin Group's Jingshi Jewelry was hit by negative news repeatedly within two days. Its top designer was accused of plagiarism, confusion in the source of raw materials, falsified test reports, and tax evasion!

The gemstones and metal jewelry were reported by internal personnel under their real names as being of substandard purity and containing harmful elements. Lin even took the risk and bribed the relevant departments in large sums.

Currently trending: First, multiple Jingshi Jewelry stores were vandalized by consumers, forcing them to close! Second, customs officials seized all of Jingshi Jewelry's gemstones and nearly a thousand tons of gold, a fatal blow to the already struggling Lin Group.

Song Li came back from Liang Tao's place. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw three or five men in black suits standing at the door of the president's office. Their faces were familiar. She recognized them as He Shuxing's personal bodyguard.

"The second master is in there!" Zeng Xinyue said in a low voice.

Song Li nodded and returned to his seat to organize the documents.

Yang Xiao was also waiting outside. When he saw Song Li come back, he went to find her and took a brand new car key and a cell phone. "The car is parked where you always park it. The legal department is handling the accident. If there are any documents that need your signature, Lawyer Xu will contact you directly."

"Okay, I understand." Song Li didn't touch the car keys. She had not yet recovered from the shadow of the car accident.

"Are you scared?" Yang Xiao could see it.

Song Li lowered her eyes. She was indeed very passive, unable to suppress the images that kept popping up in her mind. They were thrilling and terrifying...

He Shuxing took a sip of tea and said, "You made such a big fuss about the Jingshi Jewelry. If you didn't know, you would think you were really that deeply in love with Yu Qingqing!"

He Qian doesn't like drinking tea, but he also collects the best tea for his uncle who loves tea. "If this tea suits your taste, take it back later. I was planning to ask Yang Xiao to deliver it to you."

"What? You don't allow me to talk about Song Li?" The uncle and nephew knew exactly what He Shuxing was referring to.

"Can you please leave her alone!"

"If you give me two big fat boys quickly, I won't even bother with you!"

She has been urging him to get married until her mouth is rotten, and he is still looking for one beautiful woman with a good figure after another. Isn't it so that his good nephew can wake up as soon as possible and leave a few good seedlings for the He family? But He Qian just won't listen!

Later, He Shuxing compromised: We can not get married, but we have to stay and plant the seeds!

But this brat said he didn’t like it after just two months and was dissatisfied with this and that!

"I said you are over thirty years old, you are not anxious, your father is not anxious, so why should I be anxious? Do you want our He family to be extinct?"

"It's not as serious as you say!" He Qian was fed up with him. There was no way to urge him to get married, so he changed to urging him to have a baby every day. Now Juehou has moved out!

"If you can't complete your mission this year, don't even enter the He Family Ancestral Hall. I'm too embarrassed to ask for the ancestors' blessings!"

"Why don't you have more children? My dad gave birth to me, so it should be your turn! You're almost fifty, and you still have the nerve to talk about being in your thirties!"

"How can I be the same? I'm your uncle, a gangster, fighting and killing people everywhere, offending everyone. Everyone looks at me as if they want to kill me! What's the matter? You alone are not enough to torment me. Why do I need to give you a few more weaknesses?"

"Who dares to touch you now?" He Qian sneered. Not to mention the brothers under He Shuxing, even he couldn't get past this level!

At this time, Yu Qingqing also came to Qiliang Group and took the special elevator directly there. This was the third day after the car accident. Apart from sending her to the hospital and appearing for less than an hour yesterday morning when Lin Yu apologized, she had not seen He Qian again, not even a word of concern.

"Miss Yu!" The person from the secretary's office greeted her. "Miss Yu, please wait a moment. Mr. He is in there discussing something."

Yu Qingqing held the cup of milk tea in her hand and took a sip. She was not blind to the fact that Yang Xiao was waiting outside, which meant that the person inside was very important.

Song Li was working hard. She had to quickly prepare the information that He Qian wanted today.

Yu Qingqing was so angry that she saw that Song Li had never even looked at her since she came in, and didn't take her seriously at all!

Song Li felt the light in front of her eyes dim. She looked up and saw Yu Qingqing standing in front of her desk with a not very friendly expression. "Is there something wrong?"

Yu Qingqing felt greatly challenged. With her relationship with He Qian, not only did the entire Qiliang Group treat her with respect, but now even her agency and the people in the circle were praising her highly. Only she, Song Li, always ignored her!

"I heard that you have a special relationship with Miss Lin of the World Jewelry Company?"

Song Li paused her fingers from typing on the keyboard. The past two days were all over the news about the Lin family's accident. It was because He Qian investigated the driving records of the car accident that he found out that Lin Yu was blocking her way. Lin Yu blocked her way on purpose. If he hadn't been forced to stop several times, Song Li's car would have passed by long ago and there would have been no car accident.

Originally, Lin Yu wanted to deal with Song Li, but he didn't expect to implicate Yu Qingqing.

He Qian's crime of squandering priceless jewels was probably to avenge Yu Qingqing... Song Li thought.

"Hey, Secretary Song, what's your connection with Lin Yu? If I saw you on the street, I'd be so eager to push you onto the overpass?" Yu Qingqing teased, "Lin Yu said she was targeting you, but she didn't know I was in the car..."

"Oh! Ah Qian specially asked Lin Yu to come and apologize to me! But Ah Qian was not satisfied with her attitude, so... you have also seen the recent news!" Yu Qingqing leaned against her desk, sipping her milk tea proudly. "Oh, the Lin family is in such a plight right now, don't you think? Secretary Song!"

Yang Xiao got goosebumps listening to this. She didn't know why the Second Master liked her so much and insisted on pushing her to Mr. He. She was pretty, but she had no self-awareness at all.

"There's a sofa over there where you can sit more comfortably." Song Li pushed her butt with a folder.

Song Li pretended to be calm and continued working, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart... It seemed that He Qian really liked her. In the past, so many women were bullied by others, and he turned a blind eye. At most, he would find another woman! But this time, Yu Qingqing was injured in the car accident, not only did Lin Yu come to apologize, but also made the Lin family suffer so much!

This move... He Qian obviously cares about Yu Qingqing and will not allow anyone to hurt her.

Yu Qingqing refused to leave and deliberately pressed on, "You haven't told me what your relationship with Lin Yu is yet? Why does she hate you so much? You've made me suffer with you!"

Song Li spoke again: "Please sit on the sofa, I want to work."

Zeng Xinyue noticed the atmosphere was off and hurried over, "Ms. Yu! People online are saying you're releasing a new song next month, right? Your songs are so good, could you give me a sneak peek? I really enjoy listening to your songs!"

He Qian and He Shuxing just came out of the office, and Yu Qingqing skipped over, "Second Master! Ah Qian!"

Song Li stood up, feeling overwhelmed. Before him stood two vicious demons...

He Shuxing glanced at Song Li calmly, put on the coat that the bodyguard had hung on his back, and said, "I'm leaving first! You young people, do what young people should do!"

"Second Master, take care!" Yu Qingqing called out in a clear and sweet voice.

Then Yu Qingqing hugged He Qian's arm and went in. After closing the door, she said a lot of things in a fragmented manner...

Zeng Xinyue rolled her eyes and said, "Is she going to exaggerate and say something bad about you?"

Song Li smiled and said, "Can I still be a good person in front of Mr. He?"

Sure enough, He Qian called the inside line to let Song Li in, and his tone was quite angry.

He Qian and Yu Qingqing were sitting on the sofa. He sat upright, as if waiting for her to come in.

Yu Qingqing leaned on his shoulder, her eyes red, probably because she had just finished crying. There was a ball of tissue on the table.

"Mr. He." Song Li stood in front of them.

"Apologize to Qingqing." He Qianqing stared at her with cold and indifferent eyes.

Song Li was speechless. Why were there always women like this around him, relying on their favor to confuse right and wrong?

"The car accident on the overpass could have been avoided if Lin Yu hadn't blocked your way. I don't want to know what entanglement you have with Lin Yu, but you caused Qingqing to get injured, shouldn't you express your opinion?" He Qian just wanted Song Li to know that she took action against the Qingshi Jewelry for Yu Qingqing's sake.

Even Second Uncle and Yang Xiao saw it clearly. He killed Lin without even caring about Du Zhanrong's face, just to avenge Song Li!

He Qian wouldn't let her know! She had taken three of his precious lives from someone with whom he had an irreconcilable hatred! How could he let her know that he had nearly lost his mind for her?

He hated her forever, forever! Even if she wanted to die, she could only die in his hands!

Yu Qingqing was the most shocked. She was crying and complaining about how Song Li had just been mean to her outside. Why was he apologizing for this matter again?

Song Li's breath was slightly short. She had spent all her willpower these past two days trying to convince herself not to think about the car accident anymore. Now, not only was it easily provoked, but the blame was even placed on her?!

He Qian saw the mist in her eyes because of grievance, but he didn't want to be soft-hearted, so he spoke in his usual threatening tone: "Didn't you see what happened to the Lin family?"

The implication is that he can also make the Song family disappear into ashes! Song Li's Achilles' heel is his family...

"I'm sorry, Miss Yu."

The apology coming from the victim's mouth tore Song Li's heart apart, bleeding drop by drop...
