Chapter 13: Competing for Grandpa! Your life is so empty...
"I originally thought Qin Cangye didn't recognize you and just mistook you for me. But now that I think about it, that thought is completely wrong. Qin Cangye recognized you a long time ago. So, he's deliberately playing a trick on you!"
Li Jinmiao was furious and indignant. "Damn it! He's such a piece of shit! He clearly saw through me but he pretended not to know. He even went out of his way to please you, sending you back to the company, giving you flowers, pretending to be jealous of Old Zhang. Even a fool could see through his evil intentions! If he had any sincerity, he would have been honest with you and should have gone to his grandfather to cancel the marriage with me first!"
Li Jinmiao grew increasingly angry as she spoke, her voice rising an octave: "Nuo Nuo, you're just too easy to fool! Luckily, I've seen his true colors now. Don't go next week, I'm going to teach that bastard a lesson myself! He might be hiding in some corner having a good time right now, it makes me angry just thinking about it! Luckily, Nuo Nuo, you didn't promise him anything, otherwise, with this third-generation rich guy's character, he'd definitely kick you away when he got tired of playing with you, and you wouldn't even be able to find your shadow!"
Su Yinuo sat on the sofa in a daze, unable to connect the dots between the dandy scumbag Li Jinmiao was calling her and Qin Cangye's appearance. Although every word Li Jinmiao said was correct, but, but... Qin Cangye didn't look like that kind of person at all...
Su Yinuo's thoughts gave her a headache. She held her face in her hands and sighed deeply, saying, "Sister Miaomiao, please let me go next week. This is the last time. I don't want any reward. I will meet him with my own identity and make things clear with him. After all, I also lied to him. After that, I will no longer have any contact with him."
Li Jinmiao was slightly stunned. He came to Su Yinuo and hugged her gently. To ease her sadness, he asked jokingly, "Our Yinuo, you are not in love with him, are you?"
"No!" Su Yinuo hurriedly denied.
But Li Jinmiao and Zhang Yifeng could both see how little credibility this statement had.
"Sister Miaomiao, I'm going to change my clothes," Su Yinuo got up and ran to the lounge.
When she changed her clothes and prepared to leave, Li Jinmiao stopped Su Yinuo. She didn't mention Qin Cangye again. Instead, she hesitated and said tactfully, "Nunuo, if you haven't found a suitable place to set up a food truck or stall these days, why don't you come to work at my company?"
"Ah?" Su Yinuo was a little surprised, but more of a moved person, because she saw the rare nervousness on Li Jinmiao's face, and knew that Li Jinmiao had thought about it and mustered up the courage to make this invitation.
She must be afraid that I would mistakenly think she was giving me alms?
"Thank you, Sister Miaomiao," Su Yinuo hugged Li Jinmiao and said sincerely, "Sister Miaomiao, thank you so much, but I don't know anything, so it's not appropriate for me to take up a position in your company. I'll just be honest," she smiled bitterly, "With someone like me, if I join Sister Miaomiao's company, I can only be a cleaner at best, and the salary won't be very high. I might as well set up a stall. Sister Miaomiao, don't worry about me, I can handle it!"
Su Yinuo took Li Jinmiao's arm and walked towards the elevator on the 15th floor. As they walked, she said, "Sister Miaomiao, I'm now very familiar with setting up a stall. I just want to make some money. I still have goals in life. After I pay off my debts and have tens of thousands in savings, I will find a stable job and start from the basics. I'm still young, there's no need to rush..."
Li Jinmiao kept nodding and agreeing. She stood at the elevator door, watching Zhang Yifeng and Su Yinuo leave together. When the elevator door closed, she sighed deeply and whispered to herself, "Ninuo is such a shining and good child."
After Zhang Yifeng drove out of the software park, he caught a glimpse of the eye-catching Phantom parked on the side of the road in the rearview mirror. He was startled and asked, "Why hasn't Vice President Qin left yet?"
Su Yinuo quickly turned around and saw that the Phantom started up and turned on the headlights.
"Damn, are they trying to follow us?" Zhang Yifeng, who was always calm, became anxious and stepped on the accelerator to drive out.
A moment later, at a fork in the road, Su Yinuo saw the phantom following behind him driving in a completely opposite direction from him.
"I didn't follow him, it's just a coincidence," Su Yinuo said this with a tone of disappointment that she herself didn't expect.
"I just saw clearly that there was someone in the back seat of Assistant Zhang's car. It was a woman." Wu Heng reported to Qin Cangye who was silent in the back seat.
Qin Cangye clasped his hands in front of him, half of his face shrouded in shadow.
After sending Su Yinuo into the elevator, he returned to the car and waited outside the software park for a long time.
It was already very late and not many people were entering or leaving the software park. He first saw Ji Wenjun driving out in a daze, but when he saw that he was not with Su Yinuo, he gave up his plan to deal with him.
Later, he waited for Zhang Yifeng's car to leave the park.
In fact, even before Wu Heng opened his mouth, he had already noticed the familiar face reflected in Zhang Yifeng's light gray car window. He really wanted to follow her so that he could find out Su Yinuo's address and learn more about her to fill the huge gap in his heart.
But in a flash, he changed his mind and ordered Wu Heng to drive the car in the opposite direction.
"Go to Donghui International Hospital." Qin Cangye said coldly.
Wu Heng was surprised and asked, "Going to see Director Qin at this time? Director Qin should be asleep, right?"
"Sleep?" Qin Cangye snorted coldly and said in an extremely disgusted tone: "I can't even sleep, why should he sleep!"
When Su Yinuo returned home, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, but when she pushed open the gate, her eyes suddenly lit up because she saw her familiar snack cart had returned to the yard intact.
Su Yinuo rubbed his eyes hard, thinking that it was because he was drunk and his mind was not clear yet, so he was seeing things.
When she saw the snack cart again, she ran and exclaimed, "Mom! Mom! Why is the cart back?"
Zhang Lihua came out with a cane, smiling, and said, "Nuo Nuo, the leaders from the Urban Management Bureau came this afternoon."
Su Yinuo quickly supported Zhang Lihua and helped her into the house.
"A leader named Li from the Urban Management Bureau and a young man came all the way to return the car to us. They said they were just pretending to take the car back to scare the vendors on the road and serve as a warning, and they weren't really going to take it away. They also sent us a basket of fruit and some flyers. Look, wow, I never expected that officials nowadays are really serving the people. That's great..." Zhang Lihua smiled so hard that her wrinkles were piled up together.
Su Yinuo took the flyer from her mother's hand in surprise, and then she realized that the city had begun to rectify the city's appearance in all aspects in order to select this year's National Civilized City, and standardizing mobile stalls had become one of the important tasks.
Knowing the Software Park's numerous small vendors, the Near East District Urban Management Bureau had already agreed months earlier with the Science and Technology Bureau, which oversees the Software Park, to establish a semi-open-air snack street within the park. Businesses entering the snack street would have to pay a management fee and pass a health inspection. Among the flyers Zhang Lihua handed over were several blank application forms.
"The management fee is only 398 per month! You must apply for it!" Su Yinuo excitedly came to the table to fill out the form.
"Yes, yes," Zhang Lihua agreed. "I didn't expect such a good thing to happen. Look at the photo on the flyer. That piece of land is so nice. It can shelter us from the wind and rain. We can set up a stall even on rainy days, and we won't be exposed to the sun on sunny days. We really caught up with the right time. Wow, we are so lucky."
luck......
When Su Yinuo heard these two words, her hand stopped writing. She looked up to the window, and her sight passed through the dark night, as if she touched Qin Cangye's gentle face.
His brilliant words echoed in my ears again: "It doesn't matter if I give you all the few pieces of good fortune I have. Please accept them."
Su Yinuo felt a lump in her throat, her eyes turned red, and a few hot tears rolled down her cheeks.
I really borrowed your luck... Thank you...
She lowered her head and wiped away her tears of gratitude and sadness without leaving a trace.
In the high-end convalescent area of Donghui International Hospital, Qin Cangye slowly walked into a lush and luxurious courtyard, ignored the bodyguards standing guard every ten steps in the courtyard, and pushed open the door of an ancient bedroom that exuded the scent of sandalwood.
The modern layout of the bedroom is completely different from the pavilions outside the house. There are many medical devices around the soft big bed in the middle, and one of them is a dynamic electrocardiogram monitor that is still flashing a faint light.
Qin Cangye walked over and looked coldly at the old man sleeping peacefully on the bed. Just as he raised his hand, he heard a cold voice from the shadows opposite: "Young Master, the master is asleep."
There was a dark light flickering in the shadows, as if if Qin Cangye dared to move again, something deadly would fly out in an instant.
Qin Cangye snorted coldly, and continued to reach out without any scruples, pulling out the power cord of the electrocardiogram monitor, then spreading his hands provocatively and throwing it to the ground.
"Grandpa is in good health and doesn't need this kind of thing, right, Grandpa?"
When the man in the shadows was about to jump out angrily, Qin Weishu, who was frowning on the bed, opened his eyes and waved his hand to stop the man's movements.
The man's arrogance dissipated instantly, and he slowly walked out from the shadows. He was actually an old servant who looked even older than Qin Weishu. He helped Qin Weishu up, and stared at Qin Cangye with a pair of hawk-like eyes.
"Why are you coming here so late at night? Is there something urgent?" Qin Weishu spoke slowly, with no emotion in his voice.
Just one sentence made Qin Cangye feel slightly startled.
Indeed, it came too hastily.
All the things that he cares about and values will be used by Qin Weishu as a handle to restrain him.
Qin Cangye paused for a few seconds, knowing that any cautious retreat or evasive explanation would be of no avail. He had already lost the competition with this old fox, and he could not outsmart the old fox's scheming. The only way was to forcefully exchange interests.
He knew what Qin Weishu wanted. Qin Weishu wanted an obedient and easy-to-control grandson, a docile granddaughter-in-law from a prominent family, a house full of children and grandchildren, and ultimately, praise and adulation from the outside world.
Qin Cangye curled his lips and calmly stated his purpose: "Break off the engagement."
Qin Weishu was slightly taken aback, then he let out a few mocking laughs. He then raised his head and said with a sinister and hateful expression that even his old age and frailty couldn't conceal: "Oh? Do you have someone you like?"
Those shrewd eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, as if they had dug out the existence that Qin Cangye cherished from his mind.
Qin Cangye couldn't help but tremble all over just imagining Su Yinuo being strangled by Qin Weishu. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and remained calm. He leaned forward slightly and asked indifferently, "Grandpa, may I ask, you are already over seventy years old. What are you still longing for in these few remaining days?"
Qin Weishu was stunned, the sinister sneer frozen on his wrinkled face.
Qin Cangye stood up straight, looked down at Qin Weishu, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Children and grandchildren around your knees? Regular visits every morning and evening? Old Lai entertaining parents? Oh, you have nothing, Grandpa! Your life is so empty that it makes me palpitate."
