Chapter 194
Qin Xiang looked up and smiled, "You came at the perfect time."
"Really?" Meng Huaiqing smiled and sat down next to her. He called Qin Baotian and said hello to the others. "I'm hungry."
The food was served soon, and there were several items that Qin Xiang had not ordered. She took a look at Meng Huaiqing and knew that he had ordered them.
But Qin Xiang couldn't stop him from showing off, and she said, "He ordered these. They should taste good. You guys should try them."
Seeing that the two seemed to have a good relationship, Qin Juan was happy for her sister.
Qin Nian was very quiet throughout the whole process. He sat obediently next to Qin Juan and ate his meal. He was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
It was already late when they came to eat. After eating, they sent them back, and Qin Xiang also prepared to go back and rest with Meng Huaiqing.
Qin Juan and Qin Baotian went upstairs, and Qin Baotian said, "So you're going to close your shop?"
"I'm done," Qin Juan said. "I've closed my business. I'm planning to open a shop in the capital and continue my business."
Mi Hongjun said, "Fourth sister, I'm quite familiar with this area. I found some good ones when I was looking for shops a while ago. I'll take you to see them someday."
Qin Juan laughed. "Okay. Thank you for your help."
Mi Hongjun waved his hands quickly, "We're all family, why be so polite?"
Qin Juan felt a little uncomfortable with his familiarity, but when she thought about how Qin Xiang treated him as a younger brother, she decided to treat him as a younger brother too.
Qin Baotian, who was standing by, was calm. "Then let Xiaomi take you there. He's familiar with the place. I'll go and help you after the shop opens."
Qin Juan shook her head. "No need. In a few days, when I go back to take care of the house, Qin Zhen will come with me, and we'll be able to handle it together."
Qin Baotian said awkwardly, "Okay, then I'll take Nian Nian with me."
Qin Baotian felt guilty about Nian Nian. After all, he was the one who raised Nian Nian and made her suffer so much. This time, he also noticed that Nian Nian was much quieter than before. Her eyes were terrified and she didn't dare to approach anyone.
Whenever he met Nian Nian's eyes, Qin Baotian couldn't help feeling guilty and was extremely angry with Qin Jun.
Qin Baotian didn't hate Qin Juan as much as Lian Fengying did for not giving his brother a chance. If it were him, he would probably go crazy too. Qin Juan treated Nian Nian like the apple of her eye.
Fortunately, Qin Juan did not refute, but agreed, "Okay."
Facing her father's guilty eyes, Qin Juan admitted that she had been looking forward to this moment, because she knew that as long as her father felt guilty, he would be more attentive to Nian Nian.
She doesn't want to talk about the past anymore, but in the future, Nian Nian will still be everything to her.
For Nian Nian, let alone such a small matter, she would do murder or arson even if asked to.
It was getting late, so Qin Juan took Nian Nian back to the house to rest. Qin Baotian looked at Mi Hongjun and said, "Xiaomi, do you think I was wrong?"
Mi Hongjun shook his head. "That's right. The wrong people have already been imprisoned. We are out there proving that we are all good people."
He paused, "Sister Qin Juan doesn't actually blame you. If she really blamed you, she wouldn't have brought Nian Nian to live here, nor would she have let you bring Nian Nian with you."
Hearing this, Qin Baotian lost confidence and asked, "Really?"
Mi Hongjun nodded. "Of course. If it were you, uncle, would you leave your child with someone you don't trust?"
Qin Baotian's distress was finally relieved by these words. He said that he was rejected for helping with the store, and he thought Qin Juan really didn't trust him anymore.
"That's good, that's good. I can definitely help take care of the child."
Mi Hongjun smiled but didn't voice his suspicions. Qin Juan didn't allow Qin Baotian to participate in her business because he had more than one child. While the other siblings wouldn't be jealous, there was also Qin Jun, working the sewing machine. Qin Jun's children, raised by Tian Zhongmei, were the most vulnerable among so many children. Right now, Qin Baotian ignored Tian Zhongmei and her two children out of guilt, but what about the future?
No one can predict what will happen in the future. If he were in his shoes, he would not let Qin Baotian get involved.
Take precautions before they happen.
Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing didn't take a car either. They walked home hand in hand on the street.
On the way back, Qin Xiang recounted what happened in the provincial capital. "I never thought so many things would happen in just one day."
We also have to talk about her sister's fate.
And Nian Nian, she has experienced so much at such a young age.
Thinking of Nian Nian, she hurriedly asked, "By the way, do you know any psychologists in the capital?"
Meng Huaiqing knew who it was for as soon as he heard it. He thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know anyone yet, but I can ask around."
"Okay." Qin Xiang said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Meng."
"Do we need to talk about this?" Meng Huaiqing said calmly, holding her hand as he walked into the house. After closing the door, Meng Huaiqing pushed Qin Xiang against the wall and said, "Did you miss me after not seeing me for a few days?"
Qin Xiang was happy and kissed him on the cheek, "Do you think I have time to miss you?"
Meng Huaiqing was helpless, "No conscience."
A short separation is better than a new marriage, so naturally they had a fierce fight after taking a shower.
Afterwards, Meng Huaiqing said, "If we can't find a suitable one, we can take her to Hong Kong City to have a look."
He paused, his eyes deep, "I have a familiar psychiatrist."
Hearing this, Qin Xiang was a little confused. She turned her head to look at Meng Huaiqing and found that he looked unhappy. "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Meng Huaiqing put a hand over his eyes and said, "A child's childhood is too important to leave such bad memories."
Qin Xiang felt a pain in her heart and couldn't help but think of Meng Huaiqing's childhood.
She reached out and hugged her, comforting her, "It's all over. Everything is fine now. You don't have a father's love, but you have a mother's love. Your mother must love you very much. You also have the love of your grandmother and uncle, and I am here to accompany you."
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "Well, we have to spend our whole lives together."
I don’t know whether this was said to Qin Xiang or to myself to gain her trust.
Qin Xiang hugged him and kissed him, "Meng Huaiqing, forget the past."
A smile slowly appeared in Meng Huaiqing's eyes, "I don't mind it anymore."
So much time has passed that he can now talk about his childhood calmly.
What’s past is past.
If he really cared, how could he have come to this day?
The two stopped talking and entangled with each other again, with Qin Xiang more devoted than ever before.
The next day, Qin Xiang got up early and went to school. Meng Huaiqing bought breakfast early in the morning. Of course, the breakfast was definitely bought by the bodyguard. He was only responsible for bringing it in from the door, which was already pretty good.
After breakfast, Meng Huaiqing sent Qin Xiang to school. On the way, he asked Qin Xiang, "How are you going to spend the National Day holiday?"
Qin Xiang said, "I'll probably show Nian Nian and my fourth sister around, and then I have to check on the progress of the storefront renovations and help my sister find a storefront. I'll be pretty busy."
Meng Huaiqing regretted, "I originally wanted to take you to the beach for two days."
Qin Xiang was also moved when she heard him say that.
Overdevelopment of coastal cities in the coming decades will degrade the scenery considerably. While the seaside is a bit desolate right now, the water is clean and the sand soft.
Unfortunately, she was busy. She shook her head and said, "We won't go this year. The sea water is cold. We'll go to the beach and tread water next summer."
Meng Huaiqing was already prepared and nodded, "Okay, I'm busy too."
Hearing him say he was busy, Qin Xiang thought of what her instructor, Li Minghui, had said, and asked, "Can family members buy at the internal price?"
Meng Huaiqing asked, "Do you want to buy it?"
Qin Xiang nodded and shook her head. "I want to buy it and I don't want to buy it. I'd rather buy land and build family housing for my employees in the future. But I don't have the money right now. As for my sister, she's in urgent need of a house, and she can't wait for you."
"Well, if you need anything, tell me in advance." Meng Huaiqing paused, "By the way, there will be several small villas over there. I plan to keep one for us to live in."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow, "Boss Meng has the final say."
Well, what a rich person! He could buy a house wherever he went. She even secretly thought that she would do the same in the future. When she retired at 40, she would travel around the country and have her own house wherever she went.
It’s really beautiful when you think about it.
She told this to Meng Huaiqing, and Meng Huaiqing said, "Then I have to hurry up and make money, otherwise what will I do if I can't retire when the time comes?"
Both of them laughed.
Since their relationship had spread throughout the school, Qin Xiang no longer concealed it. Meng Huaiqing sent her to the dormitory building before leaving. Qin Xiang went upstairs to get her textbooks and met Fu Yunmei when she went downstairs.
Fu Yunmei snorted when she saw Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang found her baffling.
Fu Yunmei gritted her teeth, "You deliberately made me lose the election. I don't think my design is bad."
"Oh, you figured it out." Qin Xiang laughed. "Didn't I make it clear at the beginning? If you don't like me, then don't participate. Even if you participate, I won't make sure you're not selected. It can't be helped. After all, I'm the one paying, and your design isn't the best. Ultimately, it's because you're not very skilled. I can't forget your design at first sight, so I have to choose."
Qin Xiang went downstairs after saying that. Fu Yunmei was furious behind him, "You are using public power to take revenge for your personal gain."
Qin Xiang smiled, "That's right, go report me."
To put it bluntly, she was the one who paid for the design competition, and the school would give her this face. She wasn't a selfless person, so why would she buy the manuscript of an enemy? Wasn't she worried about causing enough trouble for herself?
Everyone in the college knew about the grudge between her and Fu Yunmei, and the teachers and leaders also understood it. In addition, Fu Yunmei's design draft was on the verge of being usable or not, so who would insist on it?
After going downstairs, Qin Xiang went all the way to the classroom.
Guan Yuping waved at her, "You are getting busier and busier now."
"There's no other way. We have to hurry up with production." Qin Xiang said, and suddenly thought, "Oh, by the way, can I ask you for a favor when I open my new store?"
Guan Yuping asked, "Let me take my mother and the others over?"
"Yeah, is that okay? I'll give a silk scarf to everyone who comes," Qin Xiang said. "The shop is almost finished renovating. I want to go the high-end route, but you know I don't have any connections, so I'm relying on you. I won't let you work for nothing either. If you bring someone over, I'll give you two dollars as a commission."
Even though Guan Yuping was not short of money, his eyes lit up when he heard this, "Okay, I would be sorry if I don't make a hundred or eighty."
Qin Xiang was happy. "Okay, if the people you bring can consume it, I'll give you another dollar for each item."
This means it costs three dollars per person.
Guan Yuping nodded, "I agreed, I must make this money."
The others secretly regretted, "What a pity we don't have such resources."
Qin Xiang looked at Ding Xiang, "You have."
Guan Yuping beside him also reacted, "Yes, you do."
Now several people were dumbfounded.
Guan Yuping said, "Have you forgotten what we did during the summer vacation?"
When she reminded them, several people looked at each other in confusion. Then Ding Xiang's eyes lit up, "I understand, Qin Xiang, I'll also participate in this deal."
Qin Xiang laughed and said, "Okay, but I'm not sure when it will open. It will be mid-month at the earliest."
She attached great importance to this store, but was not in a hurry to make a profit, so she asked Mi Hongjun to do nothing else but to watch over the store and finish the decoration.
Now she is waiting for the clothes from Hangzhou to be shipped over. That will be the best time to open the business.
It was already the end of September, and the National Day holiday was in two days. Because the time was so short, almost no one went back except those who lived close to home, and it was even less likely that Qin Xiang and the others would go back.
However, Ding Xiang also suggested, "Let's go to the square or scenic spots together to serve as tour guides and attract customers."
Ming Chuanxiu and Meilin were very interested. "We'll join too, but you have to guide us on the first day."
Ding Xiang nodded, "Okay, I'll take you."
She was so timid when she and Guan Yuping went there. She had been following Guan Yuping around for two days before she dared to ask. Now she was an experienced person. Sometimes, you really have to push yourself.
After a few people made an agreement, they looked at Zhao Wenna and said, "Wenna, what about you? Are you going?"
Zhao Wenna shook her head and looked at Qin Xiang. "Boss Qin is like a capitalist. He asked me to design. I don't have time to go out. I plan to hang out in the library, go to the bookstore, and then continue designing clothes."
Qin Xiang smiled, "Then you can also take a rest."
"She's just being ungrateful," Meilin said with a smile. "We'd love to have this opportunity, but we just don't have the brains."
Zhao Wenna laughed and said, "Everything will be fine."
Qin Xiang hurriedly said, "You guys hurry up and design. I'll take any good ones."
How should I put it? Qin Xiang really likes Zhao Wenna. She seems low-key, but the things she designs are always good. Sometimes there are some problems, but she can correct them immediately with a little reminder.
Zhao Wenna is a natural at design. She's the only one in her dorm to receive a top-class scholarship, a testament to her academic brilliance.
Zhao Wenna said, "Actually, I should thank Qin Xiang. If you hadn't given me so many opportunities, I wouldn't have been able to come up with so many designs."
Qin Xiang shook her head. "This is mutually beneficial. You get the design fees, and I make money by selling the designs for production. No one owes anyone anything, and you don't have to feel any psychological burden. To be honest, I'm very happy that you can help me."
"Oh, you are so polite. Let's go, hurry up, we have classes soon."
After class, we went back home for a date. After dinner, we went to the store to visit my sister and Nian Nian. The little girl was playing with building blocks upstairs. Nian Nian said that Uncle Xiaomi bought them for her.
Qin Xiang asked her, "Niannian, can you go to school after a while?"
Nian Nian blinked, "Do I have to go to school?"
Qin Xiang knew she was afraid of going to school, so she explained, "Adults have to go to work, and children have to go to school. Adults work to earn money for their lives, and children go to school to learn more knowledge. Only with enough knowledge can we protect ourselves and live a better life. Nian Nian, don't be afraid. This is the capital, and we have the leader to protect us, right?"
"Yes." Nian Nian stood up and said, "Auntie, I'm going to school. I want to learn skills and protect my mother."
Listening to her words, Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Okay."
Two days passed in a flash. On the afternoon of the 30th, classes were over and the five-day vacation began.
