Chapter 40 Unforgivable
Song Yilin was about to go home to get some clean clothes for the old lady when she saw Ke Qu walking towards her carrying a fruit basket as she came out of the inpatient department.
Song Yilin said to Ke Qu in an annoyed tone, "How did you know we were here?"
Ke Qu handed the fruit basket to Song Yilin: "I bought fruit for the old lady."
Song Yilin did not answer.
Ke Qu awkwardly took back the fruit basket: "I saw the news that the old lady had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, so I came to check on her."
I didn't expect the old lady's suicide to have made the news. But then again, with such a large manpower and material resources for the search and rescue, it's impossible to keep it completely airtight in this era of social media.
Song Yilin hated Ke's mother and consequently gave Ke Qu a cold shoulder: "My old lady's affairs were on the news? Did your mother's mouth make the news?"
Ke Qu lowered his head and said to Song Yilin, "I apologize to you today because of my mother. I'm sorry. What kind of compensation do you want? I will do my best to make it happen."
In fact, Song Yilin understood Ke Qu yesterday. He is a reasonable person who knows his mother's mistakes, but in critical moments, regardless of whether his mother is right or wrong, he will always stand on his mother's side.
He knew his mother's words yesterday were wrong, but he would definitely defend Song Yilin if she hit his mother.
Song Yilin didn't judge Ke Qu's character, only the right and wrong of the matter: "Ke Qu, this matter started because of you. I don't know how you told your mother about our blind date that day, making your mother think that I was interested in you. However, since you didn't do it, I won't do anything to you, but I will sue your mother to the end. Because of your malicious words that caused someone to attempt suicide, you should prepare to respond to the lawsuit."
Ke Qu stopped Song Yilin: "Can you give her a chance? She already knows she was wrong. I will try my best to meet any compensation you want. Please don't sue her."
Song Yilin's eyes were full of mockery: "You know you're wrong? How ridiculous."
Bad people admit their mistakes only to avoid punishment, not because they truly believe they were wrong. Even if they were reborn into the past with their current situation, evildoers would only think of more covert ways to commit evil, rather than refraining from doing so altogether.
Song Yilin: "Your mother heard that I'm very nice to my mother-in-law and my husband's grandmother, and she's jealous. Your mother's goal is to kill the old lady and then force my mother-in-law to her death or out so that I can serve her in the future and fulfill her dream of becoming an empress dowager. Ke Qu, how can you be so shameless? I don't even want Xu Qingmin, so why do you think I would be interested in you?"
Ke Qutou lowered his head even further: "Yilin, I know my mother is being unreasonable, but she is already very old and can't take any more trouble. I know what I'm about to say is very harsh, but I have to beg you, please plead with President Xu for me and don't fire me. If I lose my job, my mother will go crazy."
Song Yilin didn't blame Ke Qu for wanting to hit her. After all, she had hit Ke Qu's mother. She wasn't his wife, so she didn't care whether Ke Qu sided with his mother or with Song Yilin. She was the kind of person who would side with her own family, regardless of right or wrong.
But that doesn't mean she would plead for Ke Qu. She's not some saint; Ke Qu's life or death is none of her business.
"Plead for you? Impossible. Your life or death is none of my business, but my grandmother's life or death is related to your mother, and it all started because of you. So if you were even slightly sane, you wouldn't be begging me; you'd be looking for a job instead."
Song Yilin ignored Ke Qu and went home, bypassing him.
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, they saw Xu Qingmin's Maybach.
The car door opened immediately when she got out.
"Ms. Song, I am Mr. Xu's driver, Xiao Wang. Mr. Xu has something to do at the company and cannot come to pick you up. He asked me to wait for you here. Where do you need to go? I will take you there."
Xu Qingmin's actions were already an open secret, and Song Yilin didn't act coy, getting into the black Maybach.
"Thank you, Fengxiang Community."
Xiao Wang seemed surprised that Xu Qingmin's girlfriend lived in such an ordinary neighborhood, and asked again, "The Fengxiang neighborhood on Fengxiang Road?"
"Yes, go ahead and open it."
Xiao Wang is also a very talkative person, and he showed his admiration for Xu Qingmin along the way.
Xu Qingmin's charm lies in this: he always keeps people at arm's length, making people feel that there is a thick class barrier between him and ordinary people. However, his ability is so strong that it is admirable. In his student days, he did not have a single close friend in his class. He looked down on everything. But strangely enough, no one disliked him because of his unique charm.
“Ms. Song, in all the years I’ve driven for Mr. Xu, you are the first woman I’ve ever picked up and dropped off.”
At this point, Song Yilin was surprised: "Xu Qingmin, doesn't he have a lot of scandals and girlfriends?"
"You said it yourself, it's just a rumor. It seems like Mr. Xu doesn't have a proper girlfriend. We people below him guess that Mr. Xu has too high standards and doesn't like anyone."
Xu Qingmin is indeed arrogant, but I don't know why he likes her.
After quickly tidying up her clothes, Song Yilin hurried back to her car.
Lost in thought in the back seat of the car, he sent a WeChat message to Li Muzi: "Manager Li, could you please send me General Manager Xu's WeChat?"
A short while later, Li Muzi sent Xu Qingmin's WeChat message.
WeChat was just becoming popular when she was in college. She broke up with Xu Qingmin before she even had a chance to add him as a friend. They haven't deleted each other on QQ for many years, but they haven't used QQ for a long time.
Xu Qingmin's WeChat profile picture is a puppy, and his WeChat name is simply Xu Qingmin.
I've heard that people who dare to use their real names on WeChat are either salespeople or extremely confident individuals.
The friend request box for Song Yilin reads: I am Song Yilin.
I thought about it and then deleted it: I am Song Yilin from Xin'ao Auto 4S Store.
Song Yilin's palms were slightly sweaty after only two minutes of waiting for Xu Qingmin to accept her friend request.
Until the phone displays: I have accepted your friend request, now we can start chatting.
Song Yilin edited a message, then deleted it, then edited it again. Xu Qingmin then sent her a voice message: "How is the old lady? Has she woken up?"
It's likely that someone has already told Xu Qingmin about the old lady's condition.
Song Yilin replied: I'm awake, it's not a big problem.
Xu Qingmin didn't reply to her after that; he was probably busy.
Song Yilin put down her phone.
"Xiao Wang, is your General Manager Xu usually busy?"
"Yes, he's extremely busy. He treats his work as a hobby. He has almost no personal hobbies, except for occasionally having a drink with President Gu."
Xu Qingmin used to only hang out with Gu Sinan. So many years have passed, and even though Gu Sinan is married, he still only hangs out with Gu Sinan.
I wonder if Xu Qingmin will be like Gu Sinan, where birds of a feather flock together, and also like to have his cake and eat it too.
The moment this thought popped into Song Yilin's head, she wanted to slap herself. What was she thinking? Her relationship with Xu Qingmin was ambiguous, and she wanted Xu Qingmin to be loyal to her?
In her relationship with Xu Qingmin, the initiative lay with Xu Qingmin, not her.
