Chapter 83
Song Qingying had a pale face and red eyes. Just as she was about to enter the elevator, she saw her out of the corner of her eye.
Having just hit a snag with Lu Xun, Song Qingying met Jiang Qiao the next moment. The hatred in her heart came without any buffering.
The ugly woman imitates the ugly woman... The ugly woman imitates the ugly woman...
Song Qingying's fingertips almost broke her palms. She tried hard to adjust her facial expression to make herself look less embarrassed.
Jiang Qiao glanced at her, not wanting to pay any more attention, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Song Qingying quickly approached, lowered her voice and called her, her tone stiff: "What are you doing here?!"
Jiang Qiao put down his hand and tilted his head to look at her: "What's it got to do with you?"
"This is Guonan, not your Jiang company!" Song Qingying said gritting her teeth.
There is only the president's office on the top floor, and no employees walk back and forth in the corridor. This is why Song Qingying dared to speak harshly to her here.
Jiang Qiao said calmly: "You also said that this is Guonan. As long as Lu Xun doesn't let me come, I won't come."
Jiang Qiao really hated Song Qingying's attitude of being the master.
Song Qingying is the "female protagonist", and that's all. It doesn't mean Jiang Qiao has to give in to her.
If everything goes according to the plot, Song Qingying is Lu Xun's fiancée, and Jiang Qiao would feel embarrassed when she said this.
But now, Song Qingying is not Lu Xun’s fiancée, not even his girlfriend. At most, they are just a boss and an employee.
After hearing what Jiang Qiao said, Song Qingying's face turned ugly for a moment. She didn't know what she was thinking about. She raised her chin and said, "I know everything about how you forced Lu Xun to be with you."
Jiang Qiao was stunned for a moment.
Song Qingying continued, "Lu Xun and I have been together abroad for nearly three years. At that time, Guonan Group was just a small company."
She paused and continued, "Lu Xun had to go to school during the day, and he would go to the company as soon as he had free time. He often worked until the early morning. During the most tiring period, he drank so much that his stomach bled, and he was sent to the hospital by his partners while drinking."
Song Qingying accused: "You only see that he is successful now, so you can't wait to get close to him, but do you know how he got through these years?"
Jiang Qiao was completely stunned.
These... Lu Xun never mentioned them.
Jiang Qiao knew that Lu Xun had not had an easy life in the past six years. From starting from scratch to creating his own business empire, he must have gone through a lot of hardships.
But she always had a lucky hope. Lu Xun was the male protagonist. He was so smart and capable, so how could he be in such a mess? However, she overlooked the fact that when Lu Xun started his business, he was just a teenager in his early twenties.
The six years that the book hastily passed by are the thorny road that a young man took to grow up to become the head of Guonan Group. He was covered with wounds to get here...
"Lu Xun is amazing." Song Qingying said with some pride: "He has been number one since his student days. Even when he went abroad, he was still number one among many geniuses from all over the world."
Song Qingying's tone suddenly became disdainful: "You didn't even finish high school, and now you can only rely on this face to make a living in the entertainment industry. Do you think you have the qualifications to be with Lu Xun now?"
………………
After Song Qingying finished speaking, she waited to see Jiang Qiao's guilty and embarrassed look.
But Jiang Qiao did not leave in shame as she expected. Instead, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he looked at her coldly: "So, I don't have the qualifications, but you do?"
Song Qingying widened her eyes in disbelief.
Jiang Qiao: "Lu Xun is a normal person. He has his own emotions. He doesn't need you to make decisions for him. He is not a perfect machine for you to show off."
"So, now, can you leave?" Jiang Qiao said calmly.
It's a rhetorical question, but it leaves no room for doubt.
Song Qingying glared at her for a while, then left helplessly.
After Song Qingying left,
Jiang Qiao stood there for several minutes with his eyes downcast, staring at the cold floor without any anxiety.
Gastric bleeding... went to the hospital... worked until the early morning...
This is just the tip of the iceberg of what Song Qingying knows...
How did Lu Xun survive those first few years abroad?
After the reunion, Lu Xun never mentioned these things.
Why not tell her about these sufferings and make her feel guilty?
Do you not want to tell her, or do you think... there is no need to tell her?
Jiang Qiao's mind was in a mess. She bit her lip and raised her hand to push the door open. The cold air that hit her face made her stunned for a moment.
Then, a man's gloomy and cold voice came: "I said, get out———"
Seeing the girl standing at the door in shock, Lu Xun's voice suddenly stopped.
Jiang Qiao was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and long pants. He looked like he had been crying, with red eyes. When the cold air blew, he sneezed softly.
Lu Xun silently turned up the temperature of the air conditioner.
“Who told you to come up here?” Lu Xun’s voice was still cold, but the gloomy and vicious look in his eyes had completely disappeared.
The man stood in front of the French window, with no intention of moving. Jiang Qiao closed the door and took the initiative to walk over.
Blown by the air-conditioning, Jiang Qiao's mind was clearer than ever.
There was an abnormal blush on Lu Xun's face, his usually calm eyes were full of red bloodshot, and his lips were too red.
Jiang Qiao didn't answer his question and walked towards him. Lu Xun took a step back. She paused for a moment and then continued to walk towards him.
So Lu Xun stopped moving and froze in place.
The two of them were very close. Jiang Qiao raised her little face and looked at him with her beautiful peach blossom eyes: "Why didn't you tell me you were sick?"
“…Why do you want to say that?”
Lu Xun half-closed his eyelids and stared into her eyes quietly: "Will it get better if I tell you?"
Or...will anyone care?
He doesn't need it.
That winter, downstairs in the classroom, he also caused some sympathy and worry. At that time, he really believed that Jiang Qiao liked him.
But later, after years of repeated review, he finally understood that the concern was just a means for the girl to achieve her goal.
……………………
The air fell silent, with only the slight rhythmic sound of air from the air conditioner.
Jiang Qiao looked at his rolling Adam's apple for a long while before speaking in a very soft voice: "You always say nothing..."
"Lu Xun... I hate you like this."
Hate it?
That's good, better than forgetting.
The pain made him numb, but he was able to remain calm. Lu Xun chuckled and said, "Then I hate you too."
When hurtful words come out of your mouth, the person who says them feels suffocated and painful.
In the silent gaze, Jiang Qiao's eyes became redder. Lu Xun slowly clenched his fingers at her side, and after a few seconds, he looked away from her.
Jiang Qiao blinked his sore eyes. The black desk was simple and empty, and the thermos standing on it was very conspicuous.
Jiang Qiao thought about what Song Qingying said.
Jiang Qiao suppressed the moisture in his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I saw her, Song Qingying."
