Chapter 264 Heartache
Fifteen years later
The rain was pouring outside the window. The weather in Rongcheng was especially rainy during the transition between spring and summer, and it was also extremely hot and humid.
Zhou Shuang was sitting at her workstation, carefully drawing a design draft, until a sharp voice sounded from above her head. She raised her eyes slightly, and the boiling hot tea splashed over her. Fortunately, she dodged in time, otherwise her entire face would have been burned.
"Channing is my boyfriend and we're getting married next month. Do you want to be the third one?"
Zhou Shuang was faced with the disappointing face of the woman in front of her. It had been three months since she broke up with Qian Ning, and he actually still had a "girlfriend" who came to trouble her.
After dating for half a year, Zhou Shuang was chased and intercepted by Qian Ning's "girlfriend" no less than fifty times, and each time was different. This time was the most ruthless, and it had reached the point where they were discussing marriage.
Zhou Shuang calmly wiped off a few drops of tea that had accidentally stained her, her face calm and composed. "I'm sorry, Qian Ning and I broke up a long time ago."
"Impossible, you lied. He said you were the woman he loved most."
Shu Qianqian refused to let go, with tears even in the corners of her eyes.
Oh--
Zhou Shuang almost died of laughter, favorite?
If Qian Ning can still remember her name after three months, she loses.
As a last resort, Zhou Shuang had to drag out the name on the blacklist and "whip the corpse" again.
"Shuangshuang, have you figured it out?"
Zhou Shuang almost choked and handed the phone directly to her.
"Channing—"
Shu Qianqian's words made Zhou Shuang so disgusting that she almost vomited.
"Who are you?"
The words from the other end stunned Shu Qianqian, and what followed was Qian Ning's endless explanation to Zhou Shuang.
Zhou Shuang didn't want to hear a word and blackmailed him again.
Qian Ning called from a different phone number, but Zhou Shuang was too busy to answer because she was called in by her boss.
"Zhou Shuang, you are the most promising designer in our company, but Qianqian is the daughter of the CEO."
Zhou Shuang understood what the manager meant and smiled calmly.
"I resign."
The manager still felt a little guilty: "I'll ask the finance department to give you an extra month's salary."
Zhou Shuang has hooked eyes, and a mole below adds a touch of charm to her look.
She didn't care: "Whatever."
A few thousand more or less is nothing to her.
During the years she went abroad to study, her dear mother transferred three million yuan to her account on time every month. Now she can't even count how much money is in her card.
After graduation, her mother asked her if she wanted to return to her company, but she refused.
Zhou Shuang was ignorant when she was young. When she grew up, she looked at her father who had not woken up yet, and her heart was never at peace for a moment.
She did not stay in Haicheng, and even the uncles who raised her were unable to keep her in Jingshi. She came to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River and worked as the chief designer in a medium-sized design company.
The climate here is pleasant and the people are outstanding. She likes the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan and wants to stay here for a while.
Call it escaping or not wanting to face reality, for the past decade or so, she has not been able to face her daddy, let alone her mommy, Chen Yi, and Chen Xuan. They grew up quietly without even knowing what it felt like to be hugged by their daddy.
If it weren't for me, Chen Yi and Chen Xuan would have a daddy.
Of course, she wouldn't tell her mommy these words, for fear that she would worry.
When I walked out of the company, it started to drizzle outside.
Her phone vibrated in her hand and she took it out to look at it.
"I know where you are, and I will find you. Shuangshuang, I know you love me, so don't resist me, okay?"
Zhou Shuang took action and blocked this account as well.
Qian Ning, a rich young man from Rongcheng, has a powerful family. It is no exaggeration to say that he can call the shots in Rongcheng. Zhou Shuang started working in his company. He was attracted by her outstanding business ability and pursued her madly for two months. Zhou Shuang thought that it would be boring to be alone in Rongcheng, and it felt good to have someone to take care of her.
Zhou Shuang didn't know what had happened to her that made Qian Ning really fall in love with her. When she found out that he had someone else, she immediately wanted to break up with him.
Qian Ning's arrogant personality makes him want to go back to his ex, probably because Zhou Shuang hasn't let him get her yet.
She was too lazy to care about this man with whom she would never have another intersection in her life.
She went to the finance department to get her salary and planned to add a touch of sweetness to the gloomy weather. She knew that there was a dessert shop that made particularly delicious soufflé, so she wanted to try it.
Zhou Shuang resembles Lin Shu in appearance, but her personality is more like Zhou Yanli, she is a bit aloof and doesn't like making friends.
In this impetuous society, Zhou Shuang is more like a white lotus, as if no worldly things can taint her with the slightest bit of filth.
She had just ordered her meal when Channing appeared in front of her like a ghost.
"Shuangshuang, why don't you stay by my side? You don't have to work from nine to five. I'll give you 50,000 yuan in pocket money every month."
Qian Ning sat diagonally opposite her, with the ruffian nature of a playboy that Zhou Shuang didn't like very much. Thinking of Chen Yi, he was not like that.
There is a difference between rich people and wealthy people.
"Fifty thousand? Mr. Qian is really generous to me."
Her daily expenses in Haicheng were no less than fifty thousand. Rongcheng was indeed a small place.
The powerful Qian family of Rongcheng is no match for the Zhou family of Haicheng.
Qian Ning curled his lips: "You don't have to be too moved, I have always been very generous to my women."
Zhou Shuang choked while drinking coffee.
"Be careful, you're like a child."
Qian Ning picked up a napkin to wipe the corner of Zhou Shuang's lips, but Zhou Shuang frowned habitually and pulled his hand away.
"I appreciate Mr. Qian's kindness. You don't have to work hard every day to line up numbers for your girlfriends to distribute your pitiful living expenses. I don't think it's worth it, really."
How could she have thought it was nice to have a man taking care of her, and why did she fall for this nouveau riche?
Qian Ning's expression didn't show any embarrassment of being exposed, but rather a hint of pride.
"Shuangshuang, you're not in the same place, so you won't interfere with each other. Isn't 50,000 a month better than working? You can sleep until you wake up naturally, go shopping, drink tea, buy luxury goods, and live the life you want. As long as you follow me, all these are within your reach."
Zhou Shuang resisted the urge to pour the coffee over his head because her upbringing did not allow it.
"Thank you. Give it to someone who needs it. I believe there are countless women around Mr. Qian who would be your canaries for your 50,000 yuan, but don't count me."
She really wanted to roll her eyes. Is fifty thousand yuan a huge sum? Or was she mistaken? Was the Qian family's status in Rongcheng not even comparable to that of a small upstart in Haicheng?
How could Channing say that?
Qian Ning grabbed Zhou Shuang's hand, a look of ruthlessness and unwillingness flashed across his handsome face.
"We've been dating for half a year and I haven't gotten anything. You eat my food and use my things, and I buy you gifts. You have to let me have a taste of the sweetness. Which girlfriend of mine would dare to spend my money and then get nothing from me?"
