Chapter 131
Miao Sheng was four years younger than Meng Huaiqing. When he came to live with Meng Huaiqing, Meng Huaiqing was already a teenager. At that time, Meng Huaiqing had just been brought back from the Jiang family by the old lady. His health was in a terrible state, and his temper was beyond description.
For almost the rest of his life, Miao Sheng followed Meng Huaiqing, watching him grow from a paranoid teenager into a calm and unfathomable man.
Miao Sheng was grateful to the old lady and really felt sorry for Meng Huaiqing's efforts.
However, he did something wrong. Now standing in front of Meng Huaiqing and looking into Meng Huaiqing's eyes, Miao Sheng's emotions were exposed.
Meng Huaiqing knew something had happened just by looking at Miao Sheng's expression. He turned and got in the car. After Miao Sheng had driven a distance away, he said, "Stop."
Miao Sheng parked the car and, without waiting for Meng Huaiqing to question him, confessed honestly, "The day Miss Qin came to see you, I took the initiative to send her back."
He didn't say anything else, but saw Meng Huaiqing's face becoming increasingly gloomy. "Continue."
Miao Sheng threw in the towel. "I just told her about your difficulties and the cause of your stomach problems, and asked her to advise you to take good care of yourself. I didn't say anything else."
Bang!
Meng Huaiqing threw a pen at Miao Sheng. Miao Sheng didn't dodge, but the pen didn't hit him. Instead, it hit the car window and fell to the ground. "Miao Sheng, who gave you the right to act on your own?"
His face was cold, and the expression on his face made Miao Sheng think of the scene when the old lady took Meng Huaiqing away from the Jiang family that year.
The teenage boy was like a mad leopard, holding an iron rod in his hand and smashing the Jiang family's house from top to bottom.
He had no doubt that the enraged Meng Huaiqing would beat him to death with a stick.
For a moment, Miao Sheng was afraid, but he couldn't bear to watch Meng Huaiqing hurt herself, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Huaiqing, it took this old lady so much effort to recover from your illness. Why can't you tell her that you have been sick again and again because of Miss Qin? People are all made of flesh and blood. Wouldn't it be good for you if she knew how your stomach problem came about?"
"roll."
Meng Huaiqing looked at Miao Sheng coldly. Although he knew that Miao Sheng did it for him, he also understood Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang hated being morally blackmailed the most.
He had made two mistakes before, and he finally apologized and sought forgiveness in the hospital, but he didn't expect Miao Sheng to dare to say these words to Qin Xiang.
Isn't this forcing others to accept his feelings?
It's true that he likes Qin Xiang and wants to be with her, but that doesn't mean he will force her.
His plan was to fight a protracted war, boiling the frog in warm water, so that she would realize that he could fight alongside her and that he could completely match her thinking.
But what Miao Sheng did made Qin Xiang feel troubled. If he were in his place, he would not be happy either.
Qin Xiang is outstanding and beautiful, and even without him, there are still men like He Chenghua who like her.
He is indeed successful in his career, but He Chenghua is not bad either. He is a young deputy battalion commander, and he is very powerful both in terms of his personal conditions and family background. Moreover, his base is in the capital. What's the use of him being powerful in Gangcheng? A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
Miao Sheng sat there motionless, "I'm sorry."
Meng Huaiqing had calmed down by now, and said with a gloomy face, "Get out, get back to Gangcheng."
Miao Sheng was shocked, "I can't leave."
Meng Huaiqing looked up at him and said coldly, "Then never go back. Go back to find Assistant Liu to settle your salary, and then you can go back."
Miao Sheng was shocked, "Huai Qing."
Meng Huaiqing had already gotten off the car and walked away.
When Qin Xiang finished her work, she heard that Miao Sheng had left the capital for several days.
The newly opened storefront was not far from several universities, and since it opened on a Sunday, it was packed. With Qin Xiang and the other four of them busy as a top, the two fitting rooms in the store were almost always occupied. Later, due to the large number of people trying on clothes, they even added two temporary fitting rooms.
In the following days, because it was not the weekend, the flow of people tended to decrease, but when Friday night began, the number of people began to increase again.
Usually, Qin Dong is on duty with Mao Yuxiang and another clerk. Qin Xiang will come to help at noon and in the evening.
Occasionally, people from the dormitory would come over to help and observe what kind of clothes the customers would like.
It was at this time that Qin Xiang learned from Mi Hongjun that Miao Sheng had left the capital.
Mi Hongjun said with a complicated expression, "It seems that I was almost fired by Mr. Meng because I did something I shouldn't have done... Sister Xiangxiang..."
Qin Xiang understood what he meant. Perhaps Meng Huaiqing knew what Miao Sheng had said to her before.
Miao Sheng is Meng Huaiqing's right-hand man, and the two grew up almost together. She was a little surprised that Meng Huaiqing could drive Miao Sheng away.
But it had nothing to do with her.
She didn't know how comfortable she had been these past few days without Meng Huaiqing and He Chenghua.
She pretended not to know and said to Mi Hongjun, "This is their private matter. It has nothing to do with us."
Mi Hongjun nodded, "I understand."
But he couldn't help but be curious, "Sister Xiangxiang, which one do you like?"
Qin Xiang looked at him unkindly, "So do you like Hao Jingjing?"
But when he heard the name, Mi Hongjun jumped up again and said, "I'm going to get busy."
The man fled quickly again.
Qin Xiang was at a loss for words. She really didn't believe that there was nothing going on between Mi Hongjun and Hao Jingjing.
She suddenly felt that she was the stepmother who maliciously separated the lovers and drove them apart.
Qin Xiang also started to feel bad. Thinking that she hadn't spoken to Hao Jingjing on the phone for a long time, she called Hao Jingjing. However, Hao Jingjing was not in the office. She said that she had gone for further studies and had left in the past two days. It was such an unfortunate coincidence.
The person on the other end thought her voice sounded familiar, so he asked, "Your voice sounds familiar to me. Are you Hao Jingjing's friend, Qin Xiang? The top scorer in science."
Qin Xiang was happy, "Yes, I am Qin Xiang."
"That's a coincidence," Hao Jingjing's colleague was also happy. "She went to the capital for further studies and will probably arrive today. But she will probably stay at the Radio and Television Guesthouse. Maybe she will come to visit you."
Even though the two were not familiar with each other, they still chatted about this topic. Hao Jingjing's family was well-off, her father was a small leader in the TV station, and Hao Jingjing herself had strong business capabilities, so it was normal for her to go to the capital for further studies.
After talking about some of his experiences in the capital, Qin Xiang hung up the phone.
When I returned to the store, I saw Mi Hongjun rushing out of the store before I even entered. Then another woman came out of the store and shouted angrily, "Mi Hongjun, stop right there."
Qin Xiang was stunned, and then she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was still calling someone, but she didn't expect Hao Jingjing to come to her store. If she had gone out later, she could have saved the phone bill.
Seeing Mi Hongjun approaching, Qin Xiang grabbed him and deliberately asked, "Xiaomi, what are you doing? Aren't you going to rest?"
"I have something to do, sister, please let me go." Mi Hongjun turned around and saw Hao Jingjing was about to catch up, and he got anxious, "Sister, please, my dear sister, my dear sister."
Qin Xiang happily let go of him, but Hao Jingjing also chased after him and grabbed Mi Hongjun, "Mi Hongjun, are you a man? Why are you running away? Can I eat you?"
Mi Hongjun's face flushed red, and he looked at Qin Xiang with a guilty conscience. Qin Xiang laughed, "Jingjing, I just called you, but I didn't expect you to come to the capital without saying hello in advance."
"This isn't to stop him." Hao Jingjing said, refusing to let go of Mi Hongjun. "I'll talk to you later. I'll chat with him first."
Then he dragged Mi Hongjun away. Mi Hongjun stretched out his hand and acted like Erkang, "Sister, save me."
Qin Xiang laughed, "The mountain king is so powerful, Xiaomi, just give in."
If Mi Hongjun wasn't happy, how could a girl like Hao Jingjing control him? She had figured out that Mi Hongjun wasn't uninterested in Hao Jingjing. The two of them were probably just playing this game of chasing each other. Didn't she see that Hao Jingjing was enjoying it? She was a fool to get involved in other people's affairs.
But seeing how happy the two of them were, Qin Xiang felt it was pretty good.
Although Hao Jingjing is a few years older than Mi Hongjun, the royal sister and the little wolfdog are a good match.
Well, that's pretty good.
Qin Xiang was a considerate boss and gave Mi Hongjun the day off. "Jingjing has finally made it to the capital, so don't go to the store today. Let Brother Zhao handle it tomorrow, and you can accompany Jingjing around the capital. I'll keep your salary."
Mi Hongjun made a bitter face, "Sister..."
Qin Xiang clapped and said goodbye.
After seeing the two off, Qin Xiang smiled and prepared to go back to the store. When she turned around, she saw Meng Huaiqing standing at the door of the store.
She was holding a bag in her hand and wearing a black wool coat. She had a tall figure and a straight back. She looked better than a model just standing there.
The smile on Qin Xiang's face faded. When she got closer, Meng Huaiqing turned around and saw Qin Xiang, "Qin Xiang."
Qin Xiang asked politely, "Why is Mr. Meng here?"
Meng Huaiqing seemed not to notice the alienation in her words and handed the bag over. "I brought some magazines back last time, but I haven't had time to do it yet. I brought them to you today when I have time."
In the past, Qin Xiang would have been very happy, after all, it was a fashion magazine circulated in Hong Kong.
Mainland China is now emulating Hong Kong fashion trends, like leather jackets. Qin Xiang found them difficult to sell in the cold weather, and after selling so few at the wholesale market, she decided to sell them all at her storefront here. Who would have thought that young people in Beijing would be imitating the style of Hong Kong youth lately? Some are actually looking for leather jackets.
Qin Xiang happened to be in the store at the time. She bought a leather jacket for 30 yuan, and she sold it by comparing the price of the coat.
What is even more confusing is that the young man not only bought it for himself, but also brought a group of young people with him.
When they came, Qin Xiang was shocked. She thought they were here to cause trouble, but it turned out they were here to buy a leather jacket. Not only did they buy a leather jacket at a high price, they also bought pink jeans...
A lot of the inventory was cleared out in an instant, and Qin Xiang quickly asked Zhibin to buy another batch of strange but popular clothes.
Of course, she knew that she had many shortcomings and was indeed very interested in magazines in the world.
But the drinking contest between Meng Huaiqing and He Chenghua did cause her trouble. Comparing the two, she had no choice but to stay away from both of them when she didn't have time to date them.
It would be better if she didn't come. If she came, she would no longer be able to accept other people's kindness.
She finally understood that there was no third situation between men and women except interests and dating, and any third situation was nonsense.
At this moment, Meng Huaiqing stretched out his hand, holding a bag of fashion magazines in his slender fingers, and looked at Qin Xiang with anticipation.
However, Qin Xiang did not take it and shook her head to refuse, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Meng, but I cannot accept this magazine."
Meng Huaiqing's smile froze for a moment, then he turned back to normal. "If you feel bad about it, you can buy them with money. Three yuan a copy, there are thirty copies in total."
Qin Xiang was stunned and looked at Meng Huaiqing. She didn't expect him to do this. Meng Huaiqing said helplessly, "Qin Xiang, I know Miao Sheng's self-willed behavior makes you unhappy. I won't explain anything. Even if we can't be lovers, we can still be ordinary friends, right? Even if we are just landlord and tenant, it's normal for me to bring you some things when it's convenient for you, right?"
Qin Xiang thought about it and decided to just buy it with her own money. That way, it wouldn't be like she was doing a favor in vain.
"Wait a moment."
After saying that, Qin Xiang went back to the store and took out 150 yuan and handed it over, "The rest is the purchasing fee."
Although it was a bit much, these magazines were more valuable to her.
Meng Huaiqing naturally didn't want the money, but he was worried that if he didn't accept it, Qin Xiang wouldn't even accept the magazine, so he nodded and accepted it, "Okay."
He hesitated and wanted to say something more, but Qin Xiang had already spoken, "Mr. Meng is busy with official business, so I won't bother you."
"Okay." Meng Huaiqing didn't insist, smiled, got in the car and left.
Qin Xiang stood there for a while and then went back to the store with the magazine.
Today happened to be Sunday, and Meilin and Zhao Wenna were also here. When they saw her bring back the magazine, they naturally happily started to read it.
"Qin Xiang, you are really amazing. You even have friends in Hong Kong."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "I paid someone to bring it to you."
Regardless, it's great to have access to this information.
Zhao Wenna and Meilin didn't want to watch for nothing, so they invited Qin Xiang to have a meal at noon.
In the afternoon, Zhao Wenna and Meilin went back, and Dingxiang and Mingchuanxiu came over, and it was busy again.
The people in her dormitory seemed to treat her shop as an internship.
In the evening, Qin Xiang left work early and went home with the two of them. When she turned a corner, she saw a woman sneaking out of a yard.
Qin Xiang felt that the man looked familiar, so she looked at him a few more times. Unexpectedly, the man suddenly turned around and looked into Qin Xiang's eyes.
It’s really an acquaintance.
It turned out to be Cui Hong.
That day in the wholesale city, Wang Junsheng attacked Cui Hong. Qin Xiang listened to Mi Hongjun, but she didn't expect to see Cui Hong again. The wound on her face healed.
Qin Xiang didn't even need to speak, Cui Hong turned around quickly and ran away.
Qin Xiang didn't care, but Ding Xiang whispered, "That woman just now was really beautiful."
Qin Xiang couldn't deny this. Cui Hong's looks were quite attractive, not only in the countryside, but even in the capital. Her eyes were slightly raised, and when she looked at someone, her eyes could always be charming. Her figure was fuller than Qin Xiang's, but she didn't look thick or clumsy. Instead, she was plump where it was right, curvy where it was right. She spoke softly, and when she stood there, she looked so pitiful.
Even though she got lost in the countryside once and was even detained in the provincial capital, it did not stop Cui Hong from dressing up beautifully.
Qin Xiang didn't say that they knew each other, and let it go.
When passing by the courtyard where Cui Hong came out, Qin Xiang took another glance, but the gate was closed and she could not see anything.
She was really curious. Could Cui Hong be the only one who could stay by Wang Junsheng's side?
Qin Xiang didn't take this matter seriously and just let it go after seeing it.
Unexpectedly, at noon the next day, she saw Cui Hong again. She was talking and laughing with a man. When she saw Qin Xiang, she turned around quickly and threw herself into the man's arms.
Qin Xiang: "..."
Okay, I didn't see it.
When Qin Xiang arrived at the store, Hao Jingjing had already come over. Seeing Qin Xiang come in, she ran over and hugged her, "Qin Xiang, I missed you so much."
Qin Xiang didn't believe what he said to others. He tore the man off his body and teased, "Why aren't you with Mi Hongjun?"
"He went to work," Hao Jingjing complained. "I finally got some time off, but he was just focused on work. As a boss, you don't even know how to give him more time off to solve personal problems."
Qin Xiang was immediately amused. "Oh, you're already protecting me. Tell me, how far have you gotten?"
She just asked casually, but Hao Jingjing blushed immediately.
This is not common.
Hao Jingjing leaned close to Qin Xiang's ear and whispered something.
Qin Xiang's eyes widened and she exclaimed, wow, Hao Jingjing actually pulled Mi Hongjun over and kissed him in a small alley yesterday!
Of course, Mi Hongjun ran away again.
But it was useless even if Mi Hongjun ran away after stamping the document. He even ran away for a while and heard that Hao Jingjing had sprained her leg, so he ran back to show concern.
With Mi Hongjun's level of skills, he was no match for Hao Jingjing. He defeated her in just a few moves. Last night, they even went to Lao Mo for a meal to confirm their relationship, which made Mi Hongjun very upset.
After listening to Hao Jingjing's words, Qin Xiang had no other thoughts except giving her a thumbs up. "Amazing, really amazing."
Hao Jingjing chuckled, "That's not a big deal. So, why haven't you found a suitable one?"
Qin Xiang couldn't help but laugh, "Having a man is not as good as having money. Having a partner is just asking for trouble. I respectfully decline."
"You're not right." Hao Jingjing, who already had a partner, felt like she could teach classes on how to find a partner. Upon hearing Qin Xiang's remarks, she immediately expressed her disapproval. "We only have one life to live. If we're lucky, we might live for over 80 years. Youth only lasts a few years. If we don't enjoy it now, what will we enjoy when we're older? Our teeth won't be good enough to chew a bone."
This statement made Qin Xiang laugh and cry, "Look, I'm busy."
"Who's not busy?" Hao Jingjing said, "We in the news TV industry don't even have a holiday. Don't you have a holiday?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "That's true."
"Life is already tiring, so why not make yourself a little happier? If you like each other, then be together. If you don't, then don't be together. And don't think too far ahead."
Qin Xiang was surprised. She didn't expect Hao Jingjing to have such an idea. However, this idea was also her earliest thought, but when she really encountered it, she backed off.
Her previous idea was to make money, and once she had money, she could get any man she wanted by just asking him.
But she didn't expect that before she could make any money, the men she attracted were more powerful than the last.
It's okay to just let it go, they almost had a falling out, but no one made a fuss about it.
But Meng Huaiqing and He Chenghua made her extremely anxious.
Such a man is indeed very attractive and hard to dislike, but at the same time, she can't control herself with such a man. What if something really goes wrong and he asks her to take responsibility?
She doesn't dare to do anything that she is not sure of.
I would rather bear it alone than have any trouble.
Qin Xiang expressed her concerns, and Hao Jingjing rolled her eyes at her. "Are you talking about the boss of Gangcheng?"
Qin Xiang nodded.
Hao Jingjing was speechless. "Maybe they aren't aiming for marriage. Since you don't want to get married and he doesn't want to get married either, then just be a date. Talk about it in advance. When the day comes that you two don't want to be together anymore, you can break up. He can go back to his hometown and you can find your second spring. Isn't that great?"
It turned out that Qin Xiangguang was thinking about whether he and Meng Huaiqing were equals, and he got stuck in a dead end.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Meng Huaiqing had said the same thing to her, but she had thought it was all nonsense. Now that she thought about it, she realized that he had actually made it clear to her.
Have a relationship that is not aimed at marriage.
She was the one who was struggling with it.
So the question is, if they are just looking for a partner, would she be willing to be with Meng Huaiqing?
