Chapter 165 Farewell
Xu Qingmin tried to hug Song Yilin, but Song Yilin took a step back.
Song Yilin made a defensive gesture: "I'm sorry."
For a moment, Xu Qingmin's face showed hurt: "What deal did you make with Chen Yan?"
Song Yilin tried to put it in the simplest terms: "I'll marry him, and after everything is done, he'll turn himself in. After he gets out of prison, we'll get a divorce."
“I’ll negotiate with him, and I’ll give him whatever he wants.”
"He may never be able to stand up again because of saving Bai Guanqun. His wish has always been to live an honest life, but he needs someone to protect his Lijiang Group. No matter what he is given, he has already gotten what he wanted most, and he will not give up. You and I both know what kind of person Chen Yan is."
Chen Yan knew that Song Yilin would help him protect the Lijiang Group. Even if something happened, there was still Xu Qingmin, who had the Xu Group behind him.
It has to be said that Chen Yan calculated things very clearly, so even if the Xu Group were given to Chen Yan, he would not agree to it.
Xu Qingmin, who was 1.88 meters tall, suddenly felt ten centimeters shorter.
Perhaps having been mentally prepared, Xu Qingmin did not fly into a rage, though his eyes were red.
He then gave a wry smile.
Song Yilin felt as if she had been stabbed again and again in the heart.
She would rather Xu Qingmin scold her.
They called her incompetent, unprincipled, and without any bottom line.
"Qingmin, I'm sorry."
Xu Qingmin slumped his shoulders and leaned against the wall.
“You don’t need to apologize. You did nothing wrong. I didn’t mean to blame you. I had a feeling that you would leave me again, but this feeling has come true, and it’s a little hard to accept.”
Song Yilin couldn't find the words to explain. If she were even more capable, she wouldn't need to think about asking a man for help when something happened; that would truly make her capable.
Even with her own achievements, if things went wrong, she wouldn't be able to save her daughter without Xu Qingmin.
Xu Qingmin suddenly looked at her, his eyes full of pleading: "Yilin, I'll wait for you. In the meantime, don't fall in love with Chen Yan."
Song Yilin looked at him with disbelief: "Isn't this fair to you? We don't even know how long Chen Yan will be in there."
“It’s fair. You agreed to Chen Yan’s request for our daughter’s sake. You’ve fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother. I haven’t fulfilled my responsibilities as a father. I’ve left you to face such a big problem alone. I’m also at fault in this matter.”
What wrong could Xu Qingmin have done? It's all just the cruel twist of fate.
“You’re not young anymore. What if Chen Yan goes to jail for ten or eight years? Don’t wait for me.”
Xu Qingmin gave a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with a century of sorrow: "But haven't I lived like this for the past 13 years? What can I do if I don't wait for you? Whether I wait for you or not, I'm still alone."
Song Yilin's throat gradually turned bitter: "Qingmin, don't be like this. If we are destined to be together in the future, we will be together. If we are not, let's take good care of our daughter and not let her go through something like this again."
She knew that Xu Qingmin had had a tough 13 years, but that didn't mean she wanted him to go through the same thing for the next 13 years; that would be too painful.
How many 13-year periods does one have in a lifetime? Let alone 13 years, even 3 years wouldn't be enough for her to make Xu Qingmin wait for her like this.
Although Chen Yan said they had an open marriage, once they got the marriage certificate, she couldn't do anything to betray the marriage.
Whether Chen Yan is faithful to his marriage or not is his business. Song Yilin is faithful to her marriage because she wants to repay Chen Yan for saving Bai Guanqun.
Xu Qingmin wanted to hug Song Yilin again.
Song Yilin took another step back.
Xu Qingmin said with a self-deprecating laugh, "I actually wish you weren't so faithful to your marriage."
Thinking back to how Xu Qingmin had misunderstood her and thought she had cheated on him, she realized that if she didn't have that moral bottom line, she wouldn't have been in so much pain.
A light rain began to fall.
As Song Yilin looked up, raindrops fell into her eyes.
"Let's go back."
Song Yilin took a few steps first, but Xu Qingmin remained unmoved.
Song Yilin wanted to go and pull Xu Qingmin away.
Xu Qingmin suddenly hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Yilin, I'm waiting for you to come back and reunite with our daughter."
Song Yilin didn't nod, but silently let Xu Qingmin hug her.
"Qingmin, take our daughter back. I'll stay in Binzhou. When I have time, I'll go back to Jianghai to see Guanqun. Don't worry, I won't disappear. After all, we still have a daughter."
Xu Qingmin placed his hand on Song Yilin's head: "Can I bring my daughter to visit you in the future?"
Chen Yan did not ask her to see her daughter; as a mother, she could not bear not seeing her daughter.
"Can."
"Don't tell my daughter the real reason I married Chen Yan. She's so young. If she knew that my marriage to Chen Yan was because of her problems, she wouldn't be able to handle it at such a young age."
Xu Qingmin nodded.
Song Yilin left Xu Qingmin's embrace and pulled him back.
After going down to the top floor, Song Yilin went to find Chen Yan, while Xu Qingmin returned to the ward to take care of Bai Guanqun.
That closed iron gate on the top floor also severed their past.
Song Yilin, on her way to the ICU ward, glanced back at Xu Qingmin.
Say a word of farewell.
After Song Yilin turned around, Xu Qingmin also turned around to look at Song Yilin.
He knew that Song Yilin had just looked at him.
But what good does knowing that do?
When Song Yilin married Bai Ye, he always doubted himself, wondering if Song Yilin truly loved him.
He is now certain that Song Yilin loves him.
However, in the adult world, love alone is not enough to guarantee a relationship.
But Song Yilin is his, and she will always be his.
When Bai Guanqun saw that only Xu Qingmin had returned, he casually asked, "Where is my mother? Where did she go?"
Xu Qingmin's throat felt a little dry, but he tried to keep his tone calm: "Your mother went to see her friends. Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Bai Guanqun moved his limbs and touched his face: "Although my injury is very painful, I feel like I can go home and recuperate. Old Xu, I want to go home."
Before Xu Qingmin could speak, Xu Ming said, "No, it's too much of a strain on the bones and muscles. It will take a hundred days to recover properly."
Bai Guanqun started yelling and throwing a tantrum: "I don't care, I want to go home, I don't want to stay in Binhai City anymore, and I never want to come back again."
Once filming begins, it's not easy to interrupt. Although Bai Guanqun wasn't seriously injured, his face will need at least a month to recover to the point where he can film again.
It's very likely that Bai Guanqun will be replaced in this role.
If Bai Guanqun doesn't insist on filming this drama, Xu Qingmin will have the production team find a replacement.
Xu Qingmin asked Bai Guanqun seriously, "You're not going back to Binzhou City anymore? Don't you want to film this movie anymore? Most of this movie was filmed in Binzhou City, and a lot of it was on location."
Bai Guanqun shuddered as he recalled what happened in the car.
"I don't know, but I'm very scared right now."
