Chapter 79 Unable to Fall in Love with Another Woman
Bai Guanqun had no choice but to keep Xu Yijing company. Before, when Xu Yijing asked her to keep him company, she envied him for having such a good tutor. Now she knew why Xu Yijing was so troubled.
She not only has to attend extracurricular classes, but also private tutoring, and horseback riding is the only thing that can make her happy.
Bai Guanqun resignedly asked his mother, "Mom, are all the Xu family children like this? I see Xu Yijing has a lot of classes too."
"Mom doesn't know, you'll have to ask your dad."
Xu Qingmin put down the magazine: "Xu Yijing has even more than you. I only asked Xu Yijing to do well in academics. His father asked him to do things like horseback riding, archery, golf, Go, rock climbing, etc. So you don't need to compare yourself to him. I don't have high expectations for you. Just have one or two hobbies that you can be good at."
Bai Guanqun muttered to himself, "I thought wealthy families wouldn't put so much pressure on their children, but I didn't expect them to be so competitive."
"Wealth is first and foremost due to your descendants' hard work; if your descendants don't work hard, they won't be able to keep the wealth."
Bai Guanqun said nothing more. In any case, she wasn't interested in Xu Qingmin's Xu Group. What she was interested in was acting, and she wanted to become a talented actress in the future.
When this was mentioned, Bai Guanqun quickly asked, "Mom, for my last scene, the director said I didn't meet his requirements yet. I want to continue filming after I'm discharged from the hospital."
Xu Qingmin's face turned cold: "You're injured like this, and you still want to film?"
"I think I must do my best in my first film."
"There's no use thinking about it now. By the time you're discharged from the hospital, your uncle's scenes will have already wrapped up. Your scene wasn't very important, and Director Gu won't insist. If it wasn't perfect, I can have him cut it, or you can reshoot it. But you can't be suspended that high. Your body can't do strenuous exercise for a while. If you want to be an actor, there are plenty of films for you to choose from."
Xu Qingmin wanted his daughter to know that she had special privileges, and that he could help her fulfill any dream she wanted.
"I want to rely on my own efforts, not on you."
"Alright."
Xu Qingmin readily agreed.
Even without using connections, people in the industry would still give Xu Qingmin's daughter some face.
Just as the family of three was enjoying a happy time together, Gu Sinan suddenly walked in.
Song Yilin thought Gu Sinan was there to see Xu Qingmin and was about to avoid him, but he grabbed her hand as soon as he came up, and Song Yilin immediately shook him off.
Xu Qingmin also stopped her. Ji Weichen, who had just finished get off work, saw Gu Sinan go to Bai Guanqun's ward and followed him in.
"Song Yilin, tell me, where did Wang Qianqian go? Isn't she one of your subordinates?"
That day, Song Yilin suggested that Wang Qianqian pretend to leave, but Wang Qianqian clearly didn't agree. What happened?
"It doesn't seem appropriate for Mr. Gu to have Wang Qianqian here. Her relationship with you is not legitimate. Her leaving would be a good thing for your family."
Although she didn't know how Wang Qianqian disappeared, she subconsciously tried to help her.
Gu Sinan shouted, "Never mind what I mean, where is Wang Qianqian?"
Xu Qingmin pushed Gu Sinan away: "Gu Sinan, if you want to go crazy, go outside. My daughter is still recovering from her illness."
“Qingmin, you should understand me. Now that Wang Qianqian is missing, let me ask Song Yilin.”
"Asking me is useless. Wang Qianqian is the general manager of a 4S store. If she disappears, I can't control it. I can only hire someone to replace her. She is an employee of Xu's. You can ask General Manager Xu if she has resigned."
"So she resigned?"
Wang Qianqian did not resign, so Song Yilin chose to remain silent. The resignation process for a store's general manager did not reach Xu Qingmin, so Xu Qingmin would not know whether Wang Qianqian had resigned or not unless he specifically checked.
Wang Qianqian still publishes this daily report today, so it's impossible for her to resign.
Fearing that Gu Sinan might do something outrageous again, Ji Weichen forcibly pulled Gu Sinan away.
After Bai Guanqun fell asleep, Xu Qingmin spoke up, "Wang Qianqian didn't resign, so why did you lie to Gu Sinan?"
"But Wang Qianqian doesn't want to be a mistress, Wang Qianqian doesn't want to get married. She just wants to get revenge on Wang Jingjing's family. Now that she has disappeared, she probably wants to reduce Gu Sinan's pain."
"Gu Sinan loves her. Wang Qianqian doesn't want Gu Sinan to suffer, so she likes Gu Sinan too, right? Why can't she be with Gu Sinan?"
"Love doesn't necessarily mean being together. Love isn't everything. More important than love is making yourself comfortable. Wang Qianqian once said that she could marry any man in the world, but she wouldn't marry Gu Sinan."
Xu Qingmin pondered for a moment, then looked up into Song Yilin's eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing: "So, you don't want to marry me because you feel more comfortable in your current state than in marriage, is that right?"
Song Yilin nodded. She liked her current life and didn't want to get married unless it was absolutely necessary.
For women their age, nothing is difficult except making the decision to get married.
"I see."
Xu Qingmin silently went out for a smoke.
As I exited the hospital, I encountered Gu Sinan squatting in the corridor.
Why aren't you leaving yet?
Gu Sinan also lit a cigarette.
"Where can I go? I know she's hiding from me."
"Then why is she avoiding you?"
“She knew that my marriage with Wang Jingjing was fake, and that I was only with her because of her. When I proposed to her, she ran away.”
"Song Yilin just told me that Wang Qianqian doesn't want to get married either."
Gu Sinan was taken aback and frowned: "Why? You already have a child, aren't you going to get married and give the child a proper status?"
“The child is unwilling to acknowledge the Xu family, and Song Yilin is unwilling to enter into married life.”
"At least Song Yilin won't run away anymore."
"Who knows? If she runs away again, there's nothing I can do."
"Well, you're better off than me. Could you help me check if Wang Qianqian has actually resigned?"
"No, but if she doesn't want to see you, she can be transferred to another store. A general manager doesn't necessarily have to be in the office every day."
"Tell me which store she's in."
"I can tell you, but you won't be able to win over Wang Qianqian. That girl is a lot like Song Yilin, very individualistic."
"If you can win her over, I can definitely win her over too. I don't care about marriage or not, I just want to be with her."
Xu Qingmin checked Wang Qianqian's current position and sent the information to Gu Sinan.
"She's still in Jianghai City? Then why can't I find her?"
"She's a general manager, she doesn't need to be in the office every day, as long as she does her job well. You should give up, she doesn't like you."
"Then why don't you give up on Song Yilin? Song Yilin is much harder to win over than Wang Qianqian."
Gu Sinan went to find Wang Qianqian, leaving Xu Qingmin alone to smoke.
If he could give up on Song Yilin, he's already tried so many times over the past 13 years. If he could give up, it's impossible that he hasn't had a single woman who could move his heart in 13 years.
For the past 13 years, he hasn't been thinking about Song Yilin all the time; rather, he's simply been unable to love another woman the way he loved Song Yilin.
