Chapter 40
When I opened my eyes, the car was already parked in the B&B's parking lot.
Yan Qing sat up and moved his upper body. Although he was not tired from the business trip, the fatigue from the long journey was not relieved by the one-hour nap.
Ming Xu took the initiative to open the car door for her, took out the suitcase, and asked softly, "Do you want to go eat first?"
She was on an early flight, and although there were meals on the plane, she had said in their previous chat room that she never ate hot food on the plane because it would make her feel more motion sick.
"No, I want to go back and rest."
It is understandable that you are rejected.
After sending her to the door, Yan Qing was about to close the door when Ming Xu caught sight of the flowers in the entrance.
"Would you like me to take it down for you?"
Following his gaze, Yan Qing turned back. It was fine before he left, but it withered in just three or four days.
"I'll go get a bag, wait a moment." Yan Qing looked at the empty room and couldn't even find a usable bag. She stood in the living room, wondering whether she should just let him throw it away.
Mingxu's voice rang out: "The water inside is smelly. I'll take it all out and bring it back to you this afternoon."
After saying that, Yan Qing, who was still looking for the bag in the living room, was about to answer when he heard the sound of the door closing.
But she was also happy and comfortable. She took a bath and lay comfortably in bed, but she couldn't fall asleep.
I sent messages to Qianlin and Zhou Jiaxing just after getting off the plane. Qianlin's reply was still as lively as she is, and the message filled the entire screen. Zhou Jiaxing was concise and to the point, and also attached the progress of his handling of the matter.
When I opened the social platform, I saw that the hot searches had changed and yesterday's madness was long gone.
Many fans sent messages of comfort to her in the background of her main account. Yan Qing clicked on them one by one and picked out a few of the first replies. After seeing one of the messages, her eyes moved. She wanted to close it, but couldn't help opening it again.
It was a small account that didn't even have an avatar, and it was full of insulting words from the beginning to the end.
After reading it, Yan Qing clicked to block it.
She's seen this kind of extreme person many times. At first, she cared about what others thought, carefully reading everyone's comments and then reflecting on herself. But now it's different.
Just as I was about to turn off my phone, I received a message from Ming Xu.
When she saw the beginning, she felt something was wrong. She clicked on it and saw that it was just as she expected.
Ming Xu saw the hot search on the social platform yesterday, and then it fermented, and then today everything returned to normal, which is why he insisted on picking up Yan Qing.
He had decided at the beginning that if he was rejected, he would fight for it, but he didn't expect the result to be different from what he expected.
On the way to the airport, he also thought of many words of comfort. The moment he saw Yan Qing, his mind suddenly went blank, and his tongue seemed to be locked, and he couldn't utter a word.
I hope you won't be affected by what's happening online. In my heart, you're the ultimate creator, possessing your own unique perspective and exquisite writing style. The images you paint in your words are truly captivating. I don't know exactly what happened, but regardless, I'm always willing to fight for you, as long as you're willing.
Seeing the end, Yan Qing laughed out loud.
Why is this guy so childish? He looks like he just finished watching Armor Hero.
She didn't reply, and Mingxu didn't want to get a reply from her. When he sent this message again, he pondered for a long time, and he carefully considered every word.
After lingering in the room until noon, Yan Qing felt that the time was ripe and sent a message to Ming Xu to invite him to have lunch together.
Mingxu, who was in a meeting at the company, opened the chat box, deleted and reduced the words he typed, and finally deleted them all, then opened the emoticon search box.
Mingli couldn't bear it any longer and coughed, but the busy people didn't notice.
"Ming Xu."
The protagonist who was named didn't realize what was happening at this moment. He looked up blankly: "?"
Mingli gestured for him to look at the screen. The PPT that was being presented just now was now covered by a dialog box. Mingxu was petrified instantly. Such an embarrassing thing actually happened to him.
Most of the people attending the meeting in the conference room were company veterans, and they all looked at him while trying to hold back their laughter.
He calmly closed the dialog box and motioned for everyone to continue.
Mingli took out his cell phone and started to daydream.
[Mingli]: Believe it or not, you will receive greetings from your parents after the meeting.
Mingxu looked up and warned Mingli across the conference room: Don't talk too much.
[Mingli]: They should have leaked the news by now.
Mingli looked up and locked eyes with his brother. They both shifted their gazes to other people. Some, just as Mingli had said, were looking down at their phones.
After the meeting, Mingxu packed up his things and was about to leave, but Mingli grabbed him and said, "Don't leave so quickly."
Mingxu glared at him and said that if he didn't leave now, his parents would be here soon.
"What's the rush? You haven't been home for a few days. Check the WeChat group more often. Mom and Dad went to North City to attend the wedding of an old classmate's daughter."
Ever since Yan Qing went on a business trip, Ming Xu has been busy with the renovation plan of the B&B. He has indeed not paid attention to family matters for a long time. He doesn't even know when his parents left for North City.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He began to blame his brother.
It’s all Mingli’s fault. I just wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
The two returned to the office. Mingli took out a folder and asked him to take a good look at it with a serious face: "These old guys actually dared to threaten me. This time I have to teach them a lesson so that they know who is in charge of this company."
Ming Xu flipped through a few pages and asked, "Dad, do you know?"
"I know. They went home a few days ago. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to North City to attend a wedding and stayed away for half a month."
"What are you going to do?"
After the two of them finished discussing, Mingxu hurried back. Looking at his brother's back, Mingli no longer had the coldness and ruthlessness he had just shown, and was replaced by love for his brother.
The assistant followed behind him: "Mr. Ming, we can leave now."
Yan Qing looked at the time. He was already half an hour late and didn't know where he had been.
"Go downstairs."
When he arrived at the lobby, he saw his car parked at the door. Yan Qing walked over and saw Ming Xu, and all his previous complaints were forgotten.
Although she didn't ask, Ming Xu still explained: "I was in a meeting at the company just now, and your message came when I was projecting the computer screen."
Yan Qing was already feeling awkward: "You wouldn't open my message in front of everyone in the conference room?"
Ming Xu nodded without saying anything.
"Ah!" Although Yan Qing was not at the scene, she was no less embarrassed than Ming Xu. Ming Xu had never seen her like this before. She hugged her head, and her ears and neck were red.
"It's okay. Except for my brother, they don't know who you are."
He must have done it on purpose. Yan Qing never wanted to see Ming Li again in her life: "Don't say anything more. Fortunately, I won't be staying here for long. If your brother comes, you don't have to worry about meeting him."
Ming Xu chuckled and said firmly, "Not necessarily."
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment and didn't respond.
She booked the restaurant for lunch, which was an old restaurant. Yan Qing happened to be writing about this, so she looked up this restaurant online.
Ming Xu's face looked a little grim, and his voice was cold: "So I'm just an accessory?"
You really have a lot of random thoughts.
Yan Qing took his plate and rinsed it with hot water, as if to refute his dissatisfaction, "Shall I change to another restaurant tomorrow?"
"Are there any new materials to collect?"
"You can go if you want."
"go."
While waiting for the food, the two sat face to face. Yan Qing looked at him from time to time. She really couldn't figure out Mingxu's thoughts. She had chatted with Zhou Mingshu for a while a few days ago. In her words, Mingxu was too depressing. He always said half of what he said, as if he was leaving a way out for himself.
Thinking of this, Yan Qing looked into his eyes and asked, "I'm moving out next month."
Ming Xu was surprised and didn't expect this, but he just nodded: "Has the house been booked?"
A few days ago, Yan's father and mother had trouble buying a house. They failed to agree on the price, so they followed Liu Da and Yan Zheng to look at a few more houses. Yan's mother saw one that she was very satisfied with, so she persuaded her daughter to buy a new one.
"Well, my mother likes it very much." She didn't say much. After all, their current relationship was a bit complicated.
Mingxu didn't say anything else, silently picking up some food for Yanqing. The two of them sat in silence for the whole meal. After finishing the meal, Yanqing walked away slowly, and Mingxu waited for her at the door.
Seeing her come out, Ming Xu was about to go down the stairs when he was stopped: "You go first, don't worry about me."
After saying that, Yan Qing walked towards the roadside. Ming Xu looked over from afar and saw a car waiting for him. He couldn't see the person in the driver's seat clearly, he could only see the outline of a man.
Is this her friend?
As Mingxu was thinking, his cell phone rang. While he was answering the call, the car had disappeared.
The caller ID showed Mingli's assistant. He was a little annoyed, but after calming down for a while, he picked up the phone: "What's up?"
"Something happened to Mr. Ming, come to the hospital quickly." There was some noise on the other end, and the assistant's voice was trembling, and he even stuttered.
The car drove towards the hospital.
When he arrived at the emergency room, Ming Xu was attracted by the bloodstains at the door that had not been cleaned up. There were two security guards nearby who were packing up things.
"Alas, that young man just now was so pitiful, he died at such a young age."
"Yeah, he looks like he's only in his twenties, and he's probably an only child. What are his parents going to do?"
In the hall, a strong smell of blood hit the face.
Mingxu looked around but didn't see the assistant, or even anyone he knew. He stopped a passing nurse and asked, "Hello, was there a man there just now?"
Before she could finish, the nurse asked, "Is that the young man who was in the car accident? He's being treated in there. Who are you to him?"
"I'm him." Halfway through, he saw a familiar figure appear not far away. "I'm fine, thank you."
Mingli was still looking at his younger brother with a silly smile on his face.
Ming Xu's face was darker than charcoal. He walked over with a sullen face, first glanced at his brother who was still standing, then glanced at the assistant next to him.
The assistant felt a little guilty, as if the phone call just now had caused the young master to misunderstand.
Mingli looked at his brother's expression, then glanced at his assistant, thinking that this kid must be exaggerating. He felt a little helpless and said to his assistant, "You go back first."
The assistant nodded timidly and said before leaving, "Mr. Ming, I will definitely explain things clearly next time."
"Are you cursing me? Get out of here now."
After the assistant left, Ming Xu also walked outside.
"Where are you going?" Mingli chased after him. He had no car and his cell phone was broken. If Mingxu left, he would be really left alone and helpless.
Passing by the door again, Ming Xu casually mentioned: "You have to live well. I don't want to take over the company."
Mingli was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "I don't know whether you are doing this for my own good or for your own good."
After leaving the hospital, the two returned home.
In the car, Mingli kept talking about today's accident.
"Luckily, I was skilled enough to jump out of the car, otherwise I would have become a ghost under the car."
When Yan Qing came out of the hotel, she received a message from Luo Jing that he had also arrived in Haicheng and asked her to meet him.
