At night, the moon hung quietly on the treetops, and the stars were scattered across the sky like sparkling diamonds. Chen Nanxing came back at this time.
From a distance, Chen Nanxing saw that the lights in the guesthouse were still on. He pushed the door open and saw Qin Enyu standing in the main room. "Do you know?"
As she walked, she asked, "Why are you still sitting here so late?"
After she finished speaking, she walked in front of Qin Enyu. The night breeze was blowing gently. Qin Enyu tightened the blanket draped over her shoulders to keep warm. A smile naturally flowed from her beautiful fox eyes:
"I’m waiting for you."
Chen Nanxing was surprised: "Wait for me? What's wrong?"
"Lin Shanglu came to see me today." Qin Enyu told Chen Nanxing exactly what Lin Shanglu had said and how he threatened her, and concluded, "That's what happened."
Chen Nanxing didn't know Qin Enyu's true identity. She had also learned all of Jiang Shiyu's information from Qin Enyu, so she was completely confused. She didn't know what Lin Shanglu could do about this. Her eyes were clear: "Zhi Xu, I don't really understand."
This is a story full of twists and turns. Almost no normal person would think in that direction. It is normal for Chen Nanxing to be confused. There are too many factors. Qin Enyu can only start from the most basic part to explain:
"I'm sorry, Nanxing, I lied to you from the beginning. I lied to you and said my name was Jiang Zhixu. Actually, in this world, I should be called Qin Enyu."
Chen Nanxing couldn't keep up: "Huh?"
Qin Enyu patiently explained, "It's the Qin family of Boyuan Group in S City. I'm the ninth child in the family, so everyone calls me Qin Jiu. The Miss Qin Jiu who died in the plane crash in the news was me."
The amount of information was so overwhelming that Chen Nanxing didn't know what to call her: "Zhi...Qin..."
Qin Enyu said considerately, "You can continue to call me Zhixu."
Chen Nanxing had only read about such complicated family feuds in melodramatic novels. She stammered, "Zhixu, then how did you..."
Chen Nanxing hesitated to speak, but Qin Enyu sympathetically continued on his behalf, "Why are you going to accept the news that I'm dead and live as Jiang Zhixu?"
She held up two fingers: "There are two reasons. First, I did something in the Qin family to save my life, which involved many people in the Qin family. Second, my second brother, Qin Mo, who is known to the outside world as the Second Young Master Qin, is Yi Yi's biological father. Of course, the first one is the most important, but the second one is equally important."
Chen Nanxing ignored the second half of Qin Enyu's nonsense and was shocked and stammered: "Then... this... you and your second brother... this..."
Direct blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations are prohibited from marrying, and having offspring is unacceptable by ethics. This is indeed too shocking, but Qin Enyu is not a member of the Qin family at all.
"I am the fake daughter of the Qin family. I was taken away by mistake at birth. The one in the Qin family now is the real Miss Qin Jiu. Her name is Qin Dengchao. Qin Mo and I are just a title."
Chen Nanxing pondered for a moment and thought of what she thought was the truth:
"It is said that Second Young Master Qin fell seriously ill three years ago and has been bedridden ever since. Zhixu, could it be that while Second Young Master Qin is away, they..."
She always had beautiful fantasies about love, so she took it for granted that Qin Enyu and Qin Mo were in love naturally but were not tolerated by the Qin family, which led to the current situation.
Qin Enyu mercilessly punctured Chen Nanxing's fantasy:
"No, Qin Mo and I are not in love, at least I don't think we are. Yi Yi's arrival is not the natural result of love. He designed to imprison me, wanting to completely erase my existence from this world and replace me with another fabricated identity to tie me to him. I didn't want to be free and was eager to get away. That was when I took the initiative to ask for Yi Yi."
Chen Nanxing was dumbfounded. In her opinion, Qin Enyu was beautiful, smart, and decent, and her spiritual and material life were richer than ordinary people. She never imagined that under such a bright and beautiful surface, there was such an unknown dark past, and even her beloved daughter Jiang Shiyu was involved in calculations.
There are different tragic situations under the same sun, but Qin Enyu is still Qin Enyu after all. Unlike her weakness and gentleness, Qin Enyu has the courage that makes her pursue:
"Qin Mo is not what you heard. I personally sent him to prison. He was sentenced to eight years, and this year is his third year."
Chen Nanxing felt inexplicably sad after hearing this. She stepped forward and hugged Qin Enyu: "Zhixu, don't say it anymore, and don't think about it anymore."
Qin Enyu is only 165cm tall, and Chen Nanxing is 172cm tall, nearly 10cm taller than Qin Enyu, so even though Chen Nanxing is thin, he can still hold Qin Enyu in his arms.
Qin Enyu thought that he had not made a mistake, and hugged Chen Nanxing back as if to comfort him:
"I'm fine. Not many people know this secret, less than five. Now only you and Lin Shanglu are new."
If Zhixu hadn't been trying to help her, Lin Shanglu wouldn't have traced the matter back to Yiyi, and wouldn't have used this secret to threaten Zhixu. Ultimately, it was her fault. Chen Nanxing felt guilty:
"Zhixu, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, Lin Shanglu wouldn't have known this."
People who grow up in adversity often fall into a tendency to blame themselves, tend to attribute problems inward, and form a habitual self-blame pattern.
Although Chen Nanxing remained silent about her family situation and growing environment, it was not difficult for Qin Enyu to guess from the few words of Lin Shanglu and Chen Nanxing that in her life, adversity outweighed prosperity, which led to her habit of blaming herself first when something happened.
Qin Enyu understood but did not agree. She could not change Chen Nanxing's habitual thinking, but she had to make Chen Nanxing understand that she was not at fault in this threat from Lin Shanglu.
"Nanxing, you're not wrong. You drafted a divorce agreement for Lin Shanglu, and he refused to divorce and wanted to take you back to City B. I couldn't stand a man forcing a woman, so I spoke out to stop him. Throughout this whole process, you were just a frustrated person who had lost faith in marriage and came out to travel to relax. What was your fault?"
Chen Nanxing was obviously impressed by Qin Enyu's powerful logic and was unable to answer for a long time. Qin Enyu continued:
"I'm telling you this for my own selfish reasons. I don't know where Lin Shanglu's bottom line is. Nanxing, I hope you'll join me in protecting Yiyi. You're also a very worthwhile friend. I don't want Lin Shanglu to affect our relationship. Of course, it would be even better if you could understand my actions when I take action against him."
Qin Enyu said a long speech, and Chen Nanxing discarded the empty talk, grasped the core, protected Yi Yi and attacked Lin Shanglu.
Protecting Yi Yi from harm was a must, and Chen Nanxing would definitely not let Lin Shanglu harm Yi Yi under her nose. She was concerned about another key point: "Zhi Xu, are you planning to attack Heng Xing?"
"Yeah." Qin Enyu found a seat and sat down, not thinking of hiding anything. "If he only found out about my past affairs, as long as he doesn't tell anyone, I can let him go. But if he knows everything and uses it to threaten me, then he will definitely not be able to stay in this level of business circle."
A mother's determination to protect her child is irresistible.
Lin Shanglu is asking for trouble. He gave up his good life and spent a lot of effort to investigate some old things, and even involved Jiang Shiyu. If Lin Shanglu is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust!
Ever since Lin Shanglu threatened her with Jiang Shiyu's life experience, Qin Enyu was determined to bring down Hengxing. As long as Hengxing collapsed, Qin Enyu would never let Lin Shanglu get ahead.
Chen Nanxing had a complicated expression. She could understand Qin Enyu's deep maternal love, but selfishness was deeply embedded in human nature. From her own perspective, Chen Nanxing did not want Qin Enyu to attack Hengxing.
"Zhixu, I understand you, but Hengxing is also my hard work. I worked hard to create it by drinking wine after wine until I had stomach bleeding."
Qin Enyu was mentally prepared for both agreeing and not agreeing. She did not show any anger or embarrassment, but was rather calm and somewhat terrifying. However, Chen Nanxing's next words broke her calm:
"So I beg you, can you wait until I die before you do it?"
At least don't attack Hengxing while she's alive.
Qin Enyu stood up suddenly, and for the first time, her brows, which had always been smiling, frowned in front of Chen Nanxing. Chen Nanxing's smile was a little forced, and he tentatively pulled Qin Enyu's hand hanging by his side, and was determined to be frank to the end:
"I don't have much longer to live. I have advanced stomach cancer. I have at most a year left. I don't like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, and I don't want to lie there staring at machines all day. Zhixu, I don't want treatment anymore, so I may not live another year."
She raised her head and looked at Qin Enyu, biting her lower lip as if she was too embarrassed to speak, with tears in her pleading eyes:
"Zhixu, can you..."
The idea that the dead are greater than others runs through Chinese civilization, and Qin Enyu is no exception.
Qin Enyu didn't know how to refuse her friend's only last wish. She slowly closed her eyes, feeling a lump in her throat, unable to swallow or spit it out. After a while, a muffled voice finally came out from her chest as it vibrated:
"Okay, I promise."
"Zhixu, thank you."
Chen Nanxing's fingers were still clasped in Qin Enyu's palm. She curled her lips in a faint smile, but her heart was filled with grief.
They received too much news today, and the topic of life and death was too heavy. The two were speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere was silent. Qin Enyu's brain waves suddenly connected, and she remembered another thing she wanted to say today.
"Oh, there's one more thing. I'll take Yi Yi to Suijiang in a while, and then go directly back to Country M from Suijiang. I'll give you the key to the B&B then."
Suijiang, located in G City, is also a poor area surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Although Chen Nanxing went to City B at a very young age, she was a native of City G after all, so she had some understanding of the city:
"Suijiang has poor transportation and a low standard of living. It's not a livable city, nor is it suitable for tourism."
Qin Enyu had never been to Suijiang, but she agreed with Chen Nanxing's words:
"That place is definitely not suitable for tourism. I went there for something. Last year, Chu Zhenghe and I invested in building a high school there. The principal invited us to visit, but I think the principal's intention is not to visit the school. Logically, the visit should be after the school is completed. Now I guess the principal's funds are limited."
It is rare for an entrepreneur not to do charity. Even if they are reluctant in their hearts, for the sake of reputation, they will pretend to care about a stable society and donate some money to maintain their image.
The Hengxing brand is big, profitable, and has done a lot of charity. When Chen Nanxing was still in the company, this matter was handled by her, so Chen Nanxing is quite familiar with the donation process:
"Which foundation? I can donate some if needed."
Qin Enyu waved his hand. "Don't go through the foundation. Contact the principal directly. I've donated to the foundation before, but by mistake I discovered that after going through so many procedures, the money I donated was only a drop in the bucket. If you want to get involved, I'll give you the principal's contact information."
