Chapter 21 He Qian hates her deeply
Song Li had always admired He Qian's methods. This matter wasn't even something he put much thought into; he was just toying with her...
She recalled that He Qian asked her to go to the bank to withdraw the three gold bars on the day Du Zhanrong confessed his love to her and kissed her in front of He Qian in Qi Liang.
Du Zhanrong confessed her love in the morning, and He Qian asked her to take the gold bars in the afternoon! What does this mean? It means that He Qian had already thought about how to deal with her at that time!
It was also part of his plan to have her deliberately approach Du Zhanrong and ask for research and development data. No wonder he never cared about the information she compiled, but she was worried every day that she would not be able to produce the data!
Du Zhanrong is his good brother. Who will suffer the consequences in the end if he covets his prey?
He Qian easily created a conflict with a plan, alienating Du Zhanrong's feelings for Song Li, and leaving Song Li to bear it all alone!
He Qian knows Du Zhanrong too well, and knows men's nature too well. The more unattainable a woman is, the more interested he is in her, so he deliberately lets Song Li get close to him, and then deceives and betrays him!
Only if Du Zhanrong experiences betrayal will he stop obsessing over it!
In this way, He Qian escaped unscathed, and the whole incident had nothing to do with him! Du Zhanrong would only hate Song Li. This lesson would be more powerful than any means to stop him from pursuing Song Li!
The most important thing is, how could He Qian let her have someone she could rely on around her! Song Li suddenly understood... He Qian hated her deeply.
When Song Li handed the gold bars intact to He Qian, the most heartbreaking thing was He Qian's smile.
He was a serious person, but when he learned that Song Li had completed the mission and returned, he smiled meaningfully!
He Qian had already finished watching the live broadcast of their fishing club while sitting in the office. Seeing her presenting the results to him with a sad face, he felt so relieved!
Song Li didn't want to say more to him, "Nothing, I'm going out."
He Qian was in a good mood, "Why don't you ask me?"
She did not report the incident of Yan Xu being captured. She must have known that the purpose of the whole incident was based on what Du Zhanrong saw and believed, and Yan Xu was just a randomly selected cannon fodder.
Song Li knew that he was asking this deliberately just to show off, and he felt even more uncomfortable and blocked in his heart. "How do you want to celebrate with lunch, Mr. He? I'll go order the food."
He Qian felt a little disappointed, but it was quickly suppressed by a comfortable and happy mood. "I have an appointment at noon. How about this, you have a good rest in the afternoon, and Ciyun Pavilion will prepare dinner."
Song Li also laughed, his eyes burning with laughter. He even used "have a good rest" to insult her!
How could Song Li possibly rest properly? On the way to the hospital, he simply ate some cold and dry bread. When he got there, he had to comfort his mother, consult the doctor about her condition, and pay the medical bills...
Then, he rushed home to see Song Youran, who was being cared for by her neighbor, Zeng Xiuqing. Aunt Xiuqing had moved into the building with their parents, and had watched Song Li and her two siblings grow up. She was well aware of the Song family's financial difficulties, so she refused payment for taking care of Song Youran.
After settling Song Youran, he went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, and then returned to Ciyun Pavilion for a new round of busyness - cooking for He Qian.
When he wasn't socializing, Song Li was the one who prepared He Qian's dinner. If you ask whether Song Li had ever had evil thoughts, she did...
After Song Youran's accident, she had to face him and try to please him every day. That time was driving her crazy! She even thought about poisoning him and letting him die!
Little did she know that her every move was being monitored by someone, and that person was He Qian's uncle He Shuxing.
He Shuxing treats He Qian as his own son. Although he is extremely powerful and feared in the underworld, he really holds He Qian in the palm of his hand!
He Shuxing once spread the word in the underworld: He Qian is the only heir to the He family for nine generations! Whoever dares to cut off his lineage will have his entire family wiped out!
Therefore, He Qian's personal safety was protected by He Shuxing tightly. Although he didn't make any big moves on weekdays, He Shuxing's people were everywhere. Song Li was the person closest to him, so after she prepared the medicine powder, He Shuxing knew what she was going to do.
He Shuxing found Song Li, who is even more ruthless than He Qian!
At that time, Song Li's younger brother had just entered university. Late at night, a group of people tied him up and took him to the ninth-floor rooftop, pretending to throw him down!
Song Li was so frightened by this video that her legs went weak...
He Shuxing put away his phone and said, "If you don't want your brother to jump off the building like your father, then give up your stupid idea! If anything happens to Qian, no one in your family will be left in this world!"
From then on, Song Li felt as if he was on the edge of an abyss, and was extremely terrified.
For He Shuxing, as long as He Qian is safe and sound, he will not interfere with what Song Li does.
As I was thinking, He Qian opened the door and came in. He walked straight to the kitchen, looked at Song Li, and then washed his hands.
Song Li didn't even bother looking up at him, and just carried the dishes and soup to the table...
He Qian was very satisfied with the five dishes and one soup.
Song Li poured him a bowl of soup and sat down opposite him, still without looking at him, eating his own food.
He Qian was not at all displeased, because resolving Du Zhanrong's entanglement with her would give him peace for a long time, so he didn't care about her sour face.
The food was very much to He Qian's liking. He was about to praise her when suddenly, something struck him! A thought flashed through his mind: Didn't Song Li lose her sense of taste?!
He only remembered that apart from that time when she added more salt, the dishes were always normal, and this time was no exception, it was the taste he always liked.
Song Li felt a cold arrow coming from the opposite side. She looked up and saw He Qian staring at her with strange eyes, motionless and silent.
Their eyes met, and He Qian met her eyes that were like deep pools. In an instant, he felt like he was struck by an electric current, and his whole body went numb.
"What's wrong?" Song Li asked timidly.
"I can't remember what the firewall parameters were after the R&D department simulated the upgrade." He Qian said while eating.
Song Li didn't believe that he was thinking about new products.
"It's on the table in the study, find it." He Qian looked as if he wanted to dispel the doubts right away.
"Look now?" Was he really thinking about work with that expression just now?
He Qian didn't say anything and continued eating as his answer.
Song Li put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked towards the study.
He Qian rushed into the kitchen as quickly as possible, took the salt shaker, scooped two spoonfuls of salt into her soup, and stirred it evenly.
Song Li came out of the study and saw him just sitting down. Did he just stand up, or did he leave the restaurant and come back?
He Qian took the information and flipped through it casually...
Song Li returned to his seat and continued eating and drinking soup.
He Qian clearly noticed that she drank two sips of soup without any obvious change in her expression!
There was only half of the soup left in her bowl when he added two spoonfuls of salt. There was no way she wouldn't notice!
He Qian watched her quietly drink the third sip, and his heart finally panicked... The accelerated heartbeat stimulated his brain nerves!
Can't she really... tell?
Song Li once again vaguely felt his gaze on her. She looked up and really met his dark black eyes again. They were shining brightly, making her feel a little dazed as if in a dream...
She had seen so many looks in his eyes: fierce, cold, and even more often than not, those that wanted to kill her! This kind of gentle and compassionate look was the first time she had seen it...
She was about to open her mouth to ask him, but he spoke a second before her: "When did you lose your sense of taste?"
The voice was hoarse and so lonely that it had lost its warmth.
Song Li felt like she was petrified. The spoon in her hand dropped. Blood began to flow uncontrollably throughout her body. She began to feel uncomfortable... How could he know? Since she lost her sense of taste, she had never even been to the hospital. Only she knew about it.
He Qian saw her reaction like this, his expression became even colder, and he growled, "Speak!"
Song Li wanted to escape from here. She didn't want the scars she had hidden with great difficulty to be dissected like this...
When... She couldn't remember exactly when! Three years ago, Song Youran got into trouble, and she'd been running around trying to sue Luo Songjiang, only to be sued for fraud by He Qian's lawyer...
Song Youran's condition worsened, and her mother, overwhelmed by the shock, was hospitalized. She then received a video of her brother, Song Nanshan, about to be thrown from the ninth floor by a group of people... She herself was tortured by He Qian for a day and a night, dragging her body through a week of recurring fever to care for her mother and sister...
When He Qian saw tears welling up in her eyes, he regretted asking. He truly felt how much pain she was enduring.
"I don't know." Song Li endured the pain as if his skin was torn apart and pretended to be strong. "I don't know when it happened. I lost my sense of taste. Isn't that what you want? Anyway, you find ways to torture me every day, so you can save me this."
He Qian understood that the calmer she spoke, the more stubborn she was. "Talk to me nicely. If you're sick, I'll treat you. I can..."
There was a loud "bang" sound. It was Song Li who was angry. He threw the bowl in front of him away with force. It fell a few meters away and shattered on the ground! Because she saw the unmelted salt grains at the bottom of the bowl, it turned out that just now, he deliberately let her drink the bowl of soup without any reaction!
"What can you do? Can you come and laugh at me as if nothing happened? Watch me drink that bowl of soup, and then gloat over my misfortune! Ask me nonchalantly when I lost my sense of taste! Watch me swallow the best food every day like it's wax! Because I need to fill my stomach and I need to survive!"
He Qian's emotions were stretched to the breaking point. He couldn't believe that he wasn't angry at her "disobedience" at all. He even felt that his heart was wavering...
Song Li closed her eyes tightly, tears falling helplessly... She had already pretended very well, she was almost accepting this flaw that almost made her lose her life, why could he make her sad again so easily!
The first time He Qian approached her, it was out of heartache...
