Chapter 202
Meng Huaiqing patted Qin Xiang's hand and said, "I'll wait for you at the door."
Qin Xiang nodded and walked over. Liu Fanglin stood at the door and watched but did not follow.
He Chenghua on the bed was less rebellious than before and was quiet, which was unlike his typical personality.
Qin Xiang sat down on the stool beside the bed and really heard He Chenghua's mouth opening and closing.
She moved closer and actually heard her name.
Normally, she should be happy to be remembered by others, but she has a stable relationship with someone, and she is still remembered by others, so her mood is not so good.
Qin Xiang said softly, "He Chenghua, is it fun to lie down?"
The person on the bed was very quiet, his face pale without a trace of blood.
Qin Xiang chuckled, "Even if you don't wake up, there's no hope for us."
Well, she really didn't know what to say to He Chenghua who had quieted down.
She was worried that after she finished speaking, the person would be so angry that he would be even more reluctant to wake up.
Qin Xiang felt that she had no talent in this area and didn't know what to say to He Chenghua.
It's better to say that I'm just doing this as if I'm completing a task.
Qin Xiang sat up straight and said, "He Chenghua, wake up. Your mother is very worried about you."
She thought her words were meaningless.
However, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes after she said this.
Qin Xiang: "..."
Maybe she has some awakening skills.
He Chenghua's head was wrapped in something, and he frowned because of the headache. He saw a person sitting in front of the bed. He tried hard to open his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things.
"Qin Xiang?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, it's me."
He Chenghua twitched his lips, "You...you're here."
Qin Xiang continued to nod, "Yes, your mother went directly to my house."
Her voice was flat and calm, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry, but based on He Chenghua's understanding of her, he knew she must be very unhappy.
And she lives with her boyfriend, so it's normal for something to happen at night.
When He Chenghua thought of this, his head felt like it was being pricked by needles, and he couldn't help but frown, and even cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He forced himself to open his eyes and said, "I'm sorry."
Qin Xiang didn't say anything, and listened to He Chenghua continue, "But I'm very happy."
As he spoke, he pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile uglier than crying. "I know I disgusted you. I'm even a little glad that I was injured. If I had known you would come to see me, I might have done it a long time ago."
Qin Xiang frowned upon hearing this, "Then you can hit it harder and go straight to the Hades Palace to wait."
Even with her behavior, her words still made people unhappy. If Liu Fanglin heard this, she might think she was some kind of evil spirit who had seduced her son into harming himself just to get her attention.
Who did she offend?
Seeing her unhappiness, He Chenghua whispered, "Are you worried about me?"
Qin Xiang sneered, "Why would I worry about you? Don't you think I'm being sentimental?"
He Chenghua said indifferently, with a self-deprecating look on his face, "Yes, you hate me."
Qin Xiang nodded, "He Chenghua, this is the first and last time. If something like this happens again, even if your legs are broken and you're dying, I won't come to see you again. Do you know what you're doing? You're like a child who can't get his favorite toy, and you're using your extreme behavior to attract adults' attention. I don't know what makes you like me, but I can tell you clearly. If you lie here, I will only sigh like everyone else. Even if you die, I will only say I'm sorry and sigh with everyone else about how talented people are. But what happens after that? I will still live my happy life, and you will be a fleeting passerby in my life."
He Chenghua listened to her quietly without saying anything.
But Qin Xiang didn't stop there and continued, "So, why bother? Is it worth it to do something so sad and upsetting for your loved ones just for someone who doesn't like you?"
He Chenghua was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
Qin Xiang stood up and said, "You should take good care of your injuries. Goodbye."
She took two steps, then turned back, looked at He Chenghua and said, "Life is only a few decades long. Is it worth it to risk your life for love? Isn't it better to do something meaningful?"
After saying that, he left.
It was not until the door closed that He Chenghua came back to his senses, but he was still a little confused.
Something meaningful?
Seeing Qin Xiang coming out, Liu Fanglin said, "Thank you, Miss Qin."
Qin Xiang said, "You're welcome. After all, we're acquaintances, so it's only natural for you to come visit. He's awake now, so you can go and see him."
Hearing that He Chenghua had woken up, Liu Fanglin was immediately happy. He didn't bother to be polite with Qin Xiang anymore. He pushed the door open and went in, then shouted to check.
Meng Huaiqing took her hand and said, "Let's go."
The two went downstairs and got into the car. Qin Xiang leaned on Meng Huaiqing's shoulder and said, "I'm so sleepy."
"Sleep for a while, I'll call you when we get there." Meng Huaiqing covered her with his coat to prevent her from catching a cold.
The wind started to blow outside and the temperature dropped. Qin Xiang hummed and closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already lying in bed at home, and the sun was about to rise outside.
When Qin Xiang got up, Meng Huaiqing had already prepared breakfast. Seeing her get up, he said, "Hurry up and wash up. You still have half an hour."
It takes half an hour to wash, eat and get to the classroom, which is really rushed.
Qin Xiang didn't dare to delay and got busy.
After breakfast, Meng Huaiqing went to school and told him, "When I'm not around, remember to take Zhao Ping with you. Don't be stubborn. Call me if you have anything."
After explaining this, Meng Huaiqing couldn't help but laugh, "I was stupid, you don't need me to remind you like this."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "It's okay, just give me instructions, it's quite interesting."
After chatting away for a while, it actually feels a bit like home.
The two of them have been together for so long that they feel like a family.
Meng Huaiqing nodded and sent her to school. He didn't go back until she was out of sight.
Qin Xiang thought that her relationship with He Chenghua had ended there.
Unexpectedly, after class that day, I saw Liu Fanglin downstairs of the dormitory building.
Liu Fanglin wore the clothes she bought in Qinxiang store that day, with a black coat on the outside and leather shoes on her feet. She looked very elegant.
Qin Xiang was stunned and walked over. "Hello, are you looking for me?"
While she was looking at Liu Fanglin, Liu Fanglin was also looking at her.
The girl was about twenty years old, with a pretty face that made people feel good. She wore loose and comfortable clothes, which made her look youthful and full of energy. She was a little different from the gentle female owner I met in the store that day.
Such a woman is not only beautiful, but also smart and has a strong fighting spirit.
If she were a man, she probably wouldn't be able to escape such charm.
Liu Fanglin, you know she shouldn't have come, but after thinking about it, she still came for her son.
I also specifically found out that Mr. Meng is not in the capital now.
Liu Fanglin smiled and said, "Can we find a place to chat?"
Qin Xiang laughed and said, "Of course."
There is a restaurant near the dormitory building, with a small coffee shop inside. It opened a few days ago and there are not many people there.
The two sat down inside, and Qin Xiang said, "If you have something to say, just tell me."
Liu Fanglin lowered his eyes slightly, and after a while he looked up and said, "I wonder if Qin Xiang knows about what's going on in Hong Kong."
Qin Xiang raised an eyebrow.
Without her having to answer, Liu Fanglin continued, "Because of my work, I know a little bit about the situation in Hong Kong. I heard that rich people there like to marry multiple wives. What do you think?"
Qin Xiang looked at Liu Fanglin and asked in confusion, "What does it have to do with me if they marry a few wives?"
"Mr. Meng is also from Gangcheng, isn't he?" Liu Fanglin smiled gently and kindly, but his words were not particularly appealing. "It is said that Mr. Meng is from Gangcheng's Jiang family. He is the eldest son of the Jiang family and a rising tech elite there. His family background is prominent, so many people must be interested in marrying him."
Qin Xiang nodded. "I understand. You mean he will marry several wives in the future like his father did."
Liu Fanglin nodded, "Yes."
Qin Xiang smiled. "But what does my attitude have to do with you? Or do you want to tell me that Meng Huaiqing is not a good match for me?"
Hearing this, Liu Fanglin smiled. He didn't expect that this girl would be so direct.
Since the other party had seen through her intentions, Liu Fanglin had nothing to hide. She said to Qin Xiang sincerely, "Although Hong Kong City is also part of our country, the living habits are very different from ours. To a certain extent, the wealthy there live more casually and have a weak sense of morality in their relationships. I believe that outstanding women like Qin Xiang are very independent and have their own ideas. Can you allow yourself to live in such an environment?"
She looked at Qin Xiang and continued, "I know you've been through a marriage, and because of that, you should think more carefully about your next marriage. A man's excellence is one thing, but it also depends on whether his family is suitable and whether they accept you. After all, marriage is not a matter between two people, but a matter between two families, don't you agree?"
Listening to her heartfelt words, Qin Xiang did not answer but asked, "It seems that Aunt Liu, you will be a good mother-in-law who loves your daughter-in-law."
"Of course," Liu Fanglin answered confidently. "I've given birth to four sons. Now the second and third are married. Regardless of their wives' status, I've treated them fairly. I believe I've done what a mother-in-law should do. The same will be true in the future. No matter what kind of women Chenghua and the fourth son find, I'll treat them equally."
She has such confidence, and her upbringing does not allow her to behave like a shrew. A daughter-in-law will live with her son for her whole life, and as parents, it is impossible for them to interfere too much.
If it were in the past, Liu Fanglin would never humble herself to say so much to Qin Xiang, but it is different now. Seeing that the eldest son is almost thirty years old and still refuses to find a partner and get married, and something like this happened, the mother felt relieved all of a sudden.
It doesn't matter who you find, it's better than being single.
Moreover, the other party is really excellent, and his merits outweigh his flaws.
So she came over, even though she knew Qin Xiang didn't like her son, she still wanted to give it a try.
Qin Xiang looked at the woman with sincere eyes and couldn't help but smile. "All your assumptions are based on the fact that I will marry my partner. But I have no plans to get married at the moment. And who says that if I'm with him, I have to go to Hong Kong with him? I love China and I can't bear to leave China. No matter how good Hong Kong is, I won't go there. Also, you may not have done a comprehensive investigation. My partner has an average relationship with my father. How should the Jiang family not apply to him?"
Liu Fanglin was surprised, "No plans to get married?"
Qin Xiang nodded, "Yes, I don't know if I will get married in the future, but not yet."
Now Liu Fanglin's eyes were complicated and he couldn't accept it.
She knew that the two of them were living together but had no plans to get married. Isn't that just an affair?
Qin Xiang understood what she was thinking and smiled. "Look, you don't agree with this kind of relationship, but I don't care. It doesn't matter what you think of me in your heart, as long as you don't say it out loud. You don't have to say so much, and you don't have to ask whether you mind whether I'm divorced and have slept with other men. Because this is not a question of whether you mind or not. It's that I have no feelings for your son. I only regarded him as an instructor and a friend before, and in the future, we may not even be friends anymore."
Seeing Liu Fanglin's silent but disapproving look, Qin Xiang continued, "I want to ask you something. Does Captain He know that you've come to talk to me about all this? Does he agree?"
Liu Fanglin pursed her lips and said, "It's enough for me to know that he likes you."
Qin Xiang smiled, "It's a pity that I don't like him."
"But I still think you can reconsider your relationship." Liu Fanglin breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the discomfort in her heart. Thinking of Cheng Hua, she still wanted to make an effort. "You and Mr. Meng grew up in different environments and have different jobs. It's difficult for you to make it to the end."
Qin Xiang smiled, "You're worrying too much, because I don't think we can be together forever. When we love each other, we can be together, and when we don't love each other anymore, we can just separate. The world is so big, life is so long, why bother hanging on a tree?"
Qin Xiang looked at Liu Fanglin's increasingly distorted expression and knew that her point of view had shocked the lady greatly.
She certainly knows how outrageous her views are in this day and age.
But what does that matter?
What she said was also what was in her heart. If she could defeat He Chenghua and his mother, it might not be a bad thing.
Why should she care about what others think? It’s enough for her to live a good life.
Her words successfully blocked Liu Fanglin's words. After a long while, Liu Fanglin looked at the girl in front of him who was smiling openly and said, "Although I don't agree with your views on marriage, I can't force it. But as someone who has experienced it and an elder, I still want to advise you not to rely on your youth to make decisions that you will regret. Life is long. You can do whatever you want when you are young, but when you are old, you will always need the care of your spouse and the care of your children."
This made Qin Xiang laugh. "I don't think so. Getting married carries the risk of the husband cheating, and having children carries the risk of unfilial behavior. If it really comes to that, both the husband and the children will only make me angry to death. Instead of that, it's better to be happy. When I'm old and have money, will I still worry about no one to take care of me in my old age? I can hire ten or eight people to serve me, wash my clothes, and cook for me. I don't have to worry about anything and can still be happy. Isn't that better than marrying someone to be a nanny and worry about the whole family?"
Liu Fanglin had nothing to say, so he turned and left. "I hope you don't regret it."
Watching her walk down the stairs, Qin Xiang laughed.
"I certainly don't regret it."
Only after taking detours and suffering losses can one know what is best for oneself. Whether it is a man or a child, she has no obsession in this life.
