Chapter 60 Chapter 60 I feel hatred and hope she can withdraw from the festival...
He Shengnian looked at Qiao Wanshu upon hearing this. She looked downcast, with tears welling in her eyes.
He knew what she was talking about, but he remained silent and did not comfort Qiao Wanshu.
"I hate myself for being so slow to realize it," Qiao Wanshu said slowly, lowering her eyelashes. "I could have grasped the happiness that was so close to me, but I made the wrong choice because I was too worried."
She looked at the handsome face of the man and felt a slight pain in her heart. She had actually realized long ago that even if He Shengnian did not have such a good family background, her affection for him would continue to grow just because of his excellence.
So, when she said she hated herself, it wasn't a lie to deceive a man. It was a genuine realization that if she continued like this, she and He Shengnian would become strangers sooner or later.
She must make He Shengnian see her again within the limited time.
[I feel so bad. Mr. He, please take care of Qiao Qiao immediately.]
[Qiao Qiao is really moved, right? She never acts like this in front of other people.]
[I really want to hug Qiao Qiao. Does such a wonderful girl like her have to endure the pain of love? I hope Mr. He can change his mind.]
[You didn't act like this when you said Xu Qinghu was paying you back. Why are you so magnanimous now that Qiao Wanshu is the new guy? What's the difference between her behavior and Xu Qinghu's?]
[+1, He Shengnian's attitude is so obvious, yet she still insists on pestering him. It's really confusing.]
[He treated Xu Qinghu like he wanted to send her to hell, but he was so generous to Qiao Wanshu. He can't be so obvious about his charm for wealth, right? Can he be so servile that he can be the young lady's dog? It's ridiculous!]
"What do you want to ask?" After a long silence, He Shengnian finally spoke: "I can answer you."
Qiao Wanshu looked into his eyes, which were darker than the night. After taking several breaths, she whispered, "You told me before that your time had changed. I know I shouldn't ask you again, but I can't control my thoughts."
She used to care a lot about her appearance in front of the camera, at least she couldn't show too many negative emotions, so as not to make the audience think that she was an emotionally unstable person.
But she has been thinking about her behavior after participating in the dating variety show these days, and she found that sometimes being too perfect is not a good thing.
If she wasn't emotional, how could He Shengnian know what she wanted to express, and how could he understand her persistence and seriousness towards him?
"But I still want to ask you, I..." Qiao Wanshu looked at him deeply, "What did I do wrong?"
When these words were spoken, not only the live broadcast room was stunned, but He Shengnian was also obviously a little surprised.
[My old swan, Qiao Wanshu is really bold in asking this.]
[I understand Qiao Qiao. Even if you are rejected, you should know the real reason. It is definitely not just a matter of time.]
[Thumbs up for Qiao Qiao's bravery.]
Facing Qiao Wanshu's slightly stubborn eyes, He Shengnian realized that there still needed to be a real ending between them.
He replied without hesitation: "You did nothing wrong."
Qiao Wanshu's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't avoid his gaze. Instead, she stared at him closely, "...Really?"
"Besides the time we spent together, it's more because my own thinking has changed."
The man's voice was low and cold, and he said almost bluntly, "After getting to know the others, I realized that my previous assumptions no longer hold true."
"I'm sorry," he said slowly and firmly, "I can't respond to you anymore."
Hearing this, Qiao Wanshu's heart was broken and his eyes immediately turned red.
She lowered her head, but still couldn't cry in front of the camera. She could only avoid the camera to hide her inner confusion and helplessness.
She thought He Shengnian would at least criticize her previous wandering, or imply that she was too arrogant, but he was so calm, as if the good impression he once had had long since vanished.
"I want to know the reason." When she raised her head again, her eyes were still determined.
What she wanted to know was the gap between herself and Xu Qinghu. Why could someone like Xu Qinghu make him change his mind, while she was forgotten by him?
He Shengnian was so smart that he immediately realized her true thoughts and frowned.
[Mr. He has made it very clear, what else does Qiao Wanshu want to do?]
[Does he have to say good things about Xu Qinghu before he's satisfied? It's really hard to judge someone who's so persistent.]
[Please, Miss, please cut your losses in time.]
[I don't like Qiao Wanshu like this. She should be cold and proud, not this humble and pitiful.]
"If you think this explanation isn't enough," He Shengnian said calmly, "it's because I've met someone I really like."
This answer was more direct than the previous one, like a knife stabbing into Qiao Wanshu's heart, making her feel depressed.
"Is she better than me?" She said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How is she better than me? It's obvious that we are..."
Halfway through her words, she was startled by He Shengnian's suddenly cold eyes. She could only turn her head away and said reluctantly, "I understand, Mr. He. Thank you for telling me this."
While it broke her heart, she also realized that Xu Qinghu was an enemy she had to deal with.
She couldn't and would never be soft-hearted towards her.
"But the feelings I've given you can't be taken back." She held back the tears that were about to fall and didn't back down. "I'm not that easy to change my heart, and I won't give up on someone easily. I respect your choice, but you..."
She looked at He Shengnian with tears in her eyes, and she calmed down. "But you can't ignore me anymore."
Her words were like a declaration of war, as if she had thrown away all decency and dignity and was determined to pursue her own happiness with all her might.
This behavior was in stark contrast to her previous hesitant demeanor. It was as if she had finally figured out what she wanted.
Although some people questioned her in the barrage, more people were saying that she was neat and free-spirited, and dared to love and hate. This was the Qiao Wanshu they liked.
[Qiao Qiao is so nice, Mr. He will regret it sooner or later and wait for him to be burned to death in the crematorium for chasing his wife.]
[No destruction, no construction. Thumbs up for Qiao Qiao!]
[Although, this is the development I want to see!]
[As expected of Qiao Qiao, even when rejected, she won’t give up easily. I love her so much.]
[The people above are all idiots with underdeveloped brains. Isn't Qiao Wanshu saying these things just to compete with Xu Qinghu for female sex? Isn't that disgusting!]
Only Xu Qinghu could push the young lady to this point. What was so good about He Shengnian? He made her feel like she was under a curse, confused.
Qiao Wanshu doesn't think she can establish herself as a heroine this way, does she? Is her mind full of nonsense? How is her behavior any different from that of a mistress? Does she think He Shengnian will fall in love with her again by doing this? I don't even want to comment.
[I'm completely unfollowing her. Her character is this big girl, a heartthrob. What the hell is she doing? I can't accept this development.]
If Qiao Wanshu could see the barrage, she would think the audience was naive. The reason she dared to say this was because she knew Xu Qinghu would not become a real obstacle to her.
Her current priority is to make He Shengnian feel her determination.
If he could change for Xu Qinghu, couldn't he change back just because of her? She didn't believe she would really lose to Xu Qinghu.
He Shengnian will understand sooner or later that compared to Xu Qinghu, she is the one who is truly right for him.
He Shengnian was not moved by her words. Instead, a hint of anger appeared in his eyes. His good upbringing prevented him from refuting Qiao Wanshu, but his eyes turned completely cold.
"Your choice has nothing to do with me." He said expressionlessly, "I hope you won't disturb my life in the future."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
"He Shengnian," Qiao Wanshu called out to him, "Are you angry? If you are, I can apologize to you."
She had studied the relationship between Xu Qinghu and He Shengnian. He should like the way Xu Qinghu acted coquettishly and flattered him, and she could do it too.
She will do better than Xu Qinghu.
Hearing her slightly sweet voice, the man paused, turned around and looked at her, the disgust in his eyes almost overflowing.
After seeing his expression clearly, Qiao Wanshu was frightened and thought to himself that the more he hated himself now, the better, because he would rebound later and completely change his opinion of himself.
Without destruction, there is no construction.
She didn't need him to turn back immediately, what she wanted was to break the balance between them.
"What's wrong?" The tears in her eyes had long since disappeared, and she smiled and said, "Are you not used to me like this?"
She walked over to He Shengnian with her bag, "But I think this is good. At least I can be my true self in front of you..."
Before he could finish his words, He Shengnian's phone rang with a message.
Qiao Wanshu's voice softened as he inquired, "Is this a message from the director? He wants us to go back to the cabin and send a text message about our feelings?"
Unexpectedly, after seeing the text message, He Shengnian looked at her deeply, then strode away without looking back.
"He Shengnian!" Qiao Wanshu quickly chased after him with her bag, not understanding why he suddenly wanted to leave her.
However, He Shengnian acted as if he couldn't hear her voice and never looked back.
Qiao Wanshu's pupils shrank slightly. Could the person who could make him so anxious be Xu Qinghu?
What happened to Xu Qinghu that made him so nervous?
Qi Song's face appeared in her mind. If it was Qi Song she was dating, then Xu Qinghu would be...
Although he knew that this was just a guess without evidence, Qiao Wanshu's heart was still in his throat. He didn't know whether it was excitement or nervousness, but there was a strange light in his eyes.
However, before she had taken a few steps, she was tripped by the weeds on the ground. The moment she fell to the ground, she called He Shengnian's name again, wanting him to take her away with him.
She didn't want to be left alone.
"Mr. He, He Shengnian!" She touched the scrape on her knee and stared at He Shengnian, thinking that he was such a gentleman and had received such a good upbringing, he would never abandon her.
However, He Shengnian opened the car door, didn't even look at her, and drove away.
Outside the car window, his cold profile flashed by, like a fierce slap in the face of Qiao Wanshu.
Again.
He Shengnian abandoned her for another woman.
He always chooses someone else, without hesitation, regardless of her decency and dignity.
Qiao Wanshu sat on the ground in a daze, smelling the fishy smell on his body and the bloody smell coming from his legs. Even though he had prepared himself mentally countless times, he almost went crazy.
He Shengnian!
She clenched her fists tightly. What right did he have? What right did he have!
Did he think that because he was in a higher position than me, he could humiliate me like this? Did he really think I dared not get angry?
Yet she was indeed left behind.
Just when she thought that she and He Shengnian would develop in a different direction, Xu Qinghu could easily call him away with just a text message.
Can she really win back a man like this?
Qiao Wanshu's eyes were red. Her previous pride and determination seemed like a joke, making her feel unprecedented frustration.
So Xu Qinghu, quit the show.
She kept repeating to herself, only if you quit, I won't really hurt you, and I can really catch He Shengnian.
The commentators were stunned by the scene before them. Even the fans who usually liked to brag about Qiao Wanshu didn't know what to say.
It took a long time before a few comments appeared.
[So, why did Mr. He suddenly abandon Qiao Wanshu?]
Qiao Wanshu didn't even look back after such a bad fall. He must be worried about something. Could it be related to the gourd?
[There is still no news from Hulu, I am so worried.]
I'm completely disillusioned with Qiao Wanshu. I have no idea what she's up to. Is she trying to ruin my popularity?
After seeing these comments, Qiao Wanshu’s fans suddenly reacted and started to save her face.
[Why are you saying this about Qiao Qiao? She's so bold in her love and hate, so why should she be questioned?]
[It was He Shengnian who suddenly left her. Why are you blaming Qiao Qiao? Do you love men that much?]
[I feel so bad for Qiao Qiao. Did she die from being filmed? Take Qiao Qiao to the hospital right away!]
[I've turned from a fan of He Shengnian to a hater. I don't like rude men!]
Qiao Wanshu sat on the ground for a while before he stood up dejectedly and returned to his chair.
She knew that she had completely lost face.
She didn't even dare to think about how many people in the live broadcast room would laugh at and abuse her.
Until a black car stopped at the door of the farmhouse, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked up and introduced himself as He Shengnian's driver, who came to take her back to the cottage.
Qiao Wanshu stood up and looked at the driver's elegant and easy-going appearance. After confirming again that He Shengnian was going to find Xu Qinghu, his eyelashes drooped and he felt a fierce hatred in his heart.
How could she let it go easily when they humiliated her like this?
She will remember the humiliation and pain at this moment and will get it back many times over in the future.
Then she got into the car, composed herself and began to ask the driver about He Shengnian. However, the driver remained tight-lipped and did not really answer her questions.
Qiao Wanshu did not humiliate herself again, she just hoped that Qi Song had succeeded, so that she could get rid of the hatred in her heart.
On the other side, Du Yanting's eyes darkened the moment he saw the newcomer. He feigned composure and asked, "Why are you here? Who told you the news?"
The man in black didn't say anything, but walked behind him, wrapped the coat in his hand around the blushing Xu Qinghu, and gently took her off Du Yanting's back.
Seeing her fragile and uncomfortable appearance, there was obvious heartache in his eyes.
Feeling the familiar breath, Xu Qinghu's eyelashes trembled a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes. In a trance, he saw the handsome face of the man. He thought he was dreaming and began to speak nonsense, "Is my brain burned out? I actually dreamed about Mr. He..."
Hearing this, the man felt the temperature of her forehead and whispered, "It's me."
As he said this, he carried Xu Qinghu on his back and glanced at Du Yanting with anger in his eyes. "The production team must give her an explanation for this matter!"
"Hey!" Du Yanting felt something was wrong when he saw his eyes, and chased after him with a flashlight, "He, if you want to find someone, go find Qi Song. The program team has also been implicated by him."
