Chapter 81 Your Show at the Circus Tonight
"Qianyu, let me take you home first. There's an urgent matter at the company," Cheng Linhao interrupted Song Qianyu.
Song Qianyu responded, unable to hide her disappointment.
The journey home was unusually quiet. She glanced at Cheng Linhao, but he was lost in thought and didn't notice her at all.
Feeling ignored by Cheng Linhao, Song Qianyu felt even more upset. When she got home and got out of the car, she deliberately slammed the door shut.
She hoped that Cheng Linhao would notice her unusual mood and get out of the car to comfort her.
The only response she received was the sound of a car driving away.
……
"What are you doing back here?" Song Qianyi looked at Cheng Linhao, who had left and then returned, with an unfriendly expression.
He glanced behind him but didn't see Song Qianyu: "Did she leave something at the hospital?"
Cheng Linhao shook his head: "I have something to tell you."
"I won't listen." Song Qianyi had nothing to say to Cheng Linhao.
"You can say it here too," Cheng Linhao said, seemingly ignoring Song Qianyi's refusal. "However, you probably don't want to bother your aunt, do you?"
Considering that Xu Fengnian could wake up at any time, Song Qianyi had no choice but to agree to Cheng Linhao's suggestion and follow him out of the ward.
The two entered the stairwell one after the other.
Song Qianyi stood in the doorway, her hand on the doorknob, ready to leave at any moment: "Spit it out!"
Cheng Linhao frowned.
You should know that Song Qianyi used to be so quiet around him that she wouldn't even raise her voice.
"I don't like women who are too rude." Cheng Linhao didn't dwell on this issue and instead talked about what he cared about most.
"It's unbelievable that Ji Jingshen is the president of the Ji Group."
“There are many more things you wouldn’t expect,” Song Qianyi retorted.
She didn't want to spend another second with Cheng Linhao, always feeling that Song Qianyu would pop out from some unknown corner at any moment, point her finger at her nose and say, "You're seducing Linhao again."
“If you came to me just to talk about these things, then I don’t think it’s necessary to say them here.”
"Aren't you even a little curious about how much he's been hiding from you?" Cheng Linhao coaxed in a low voice. "If I were you, I would definitely ask him, after all, he's the person I share my bed with..."
“He’s my bedmate, not yours.” Song Qianyi realized that Cheng Linhao’s comments weren’t just casual remarks. “Mind your own business.”
"Then tell me what I need to know."
Cheng Linhao stepped forward, getting closer to Song Qianyi: "Recently, the Ji family and the Cheng family have been vying for a project. Go to Ji Jingshen's place and take a look at their project proposal, then come back and tell me, okay?"
Song Qianyi looked at Cheng Linhao as if he were an idiot.
Do you want to listen to what you're saying?
Seeing that Song Qianyi didn't speak, Cheng Linhao thought there was hope. "As long as you help me get the project proposal, I won't treat you the same way as before."
He added, "But in my heart there is only Qianyu, we can only be friends."
"There's a show."
Song Qianyi said.
Cheng Linhao's eyes lit up instantly.
He knew that Song Qianyi's previous actions were just little tricks to attract him.
"You're in the circus tonight."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Cheng Linhao grabbed her wrist to stop her from leaving: "Don't push your luck. I can only be friends with you."
This is because they think she doesn't agree because she's not satisfied with their relationship!
Song Qianyi's smile became even more contemptuous as she forcefully shook off Cheng Linhao's hand. "My relationship with you depends on me, not you. Right now, I just want to be strangers and not bother each other."
She opened the door, turned her head and glanced back: "So, stop doing shameless things in the future."
After saying that, she strode out and went straight back to her ward.
She didn't see Ji Jingshen walking over from the other side of the corridor.
He was about to go forward when he saw Cheng Linhao following closely behind, so he stopped.
"President Ji, these are the documents you need to process now. The rest will be delivered by the company later." Shen Chen followed over, puzzled to see that Ji Jingshen was not leaving.
"No need to send it over, take it back to the company to handle." Ji Jingshen didn't show his emotions and turned to leave.
Shen Chen looked back at the ward, then at his boss who had already walked away, and quickly followed.
Boss, that's not what you just said.
Shen Chen followed Ji Jingshen, looking at his boss's somber expression, and dared not ask any more questions.
It's probably related to Miss Song again.
Ji Jingshen pursed his lips, the scene of Song Qianyi and Cheng Linhao coming out of the emergency exit one after the other replaying in his mind over and over again.
He is angry.
It's hard to tell whether what Qi Song Qianyi said is true or false.
What angered her even more was that Song Qianyi openly met with Cheng Linhao in the hospital, disregarding her mother's presence in the ward.
Does she really like Cheng Linhao that much?
If that's the case, he should have signed the divorce papers promptly when he filed for divorce.
When Song Qianyi returned to the ward, she saw Xu Fengnian leaning against the headboard, his gaze fixed on the window.
"Mom, you're awake." Song Qianyi walked over in a few steps, her concern evident in her voice: "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Xu Fengnian shook his head and extended his hand to Song Qianyi.
Song Qianyi reached out her hand, which Xu Fengnian firmly grasped.
"Isn't Mom a pretty failure?"
"You've managed the household so well and raised me and Qianyu. You're not a failure at all," Song Qianyi said softly, trying to comfort Xu Fengnian, not knowing why he asked such a question.
"Then why..." Xu Fengnian began, her voice choked with emotion. She held her breath, readjusted herself, and then continued, "Then why did you sisters..."
She didn't finish her sentence, turned her face away, shut her mouth, and tears streamed down her face.
Song Qianyi remained silent.
She knew what Xu Fengnian hadn't finished saying.
As the older sister, she steals her younger sister's fiancé.
As the younger sister, she openly used vicious words to curse her older sister.
The sisters' discord is a laughing stock.
Xu Fengnian felt that he had failed in his parenting, which was why he was upset.
Song Qianyi tried to speak several times, but didn't know what to say.
She wasn't the original owner of this body and didn't know what the original owner was thinking.
Some things shouldn't be said rashly.
“I was wrong before, and my sister was just angry in a moment.” Song Qianyi carefully chose her words: “Mom, we sisters should resolve our own issues. Don’t punish yourself for our mistakes. Your health is the most important thing.”
"I'm your mother, how can I not care?" Xu Fengnian asked, clutching her chest.
Song Qianyi remained silent again.
Xu Fengnian didn't bring up the matter again, but he remained in low spirits.
Song Qianyu came once during that time, but left after sitting for a short while, making an excuse that she had something to do.
"Qianyi, I'm almost fully recovered now and will be discharged soon. You don't need to stay with me all the time; work is more important," Xu Fengnian said, seeing that Song Qianyi had been in the hospital for the past few days.
Song Qianyi looked up from behind the computer: "It's okay, remote work is the same. You can't be alone."
Xu Fengnian felt a little relieved.
Watching her eldest daughter working diligently, she truly felt the change in Song Qianyi for the first time.
"Why haven't I seen Jing Shen these past few days?"
After Song Qianyi finished her work, Xu Fengnian asked her questions.
Song Qianyi stopped stretching halfway through her yawn.
She's been busy taking care of Xu Fengnian and dealing with piles of work these past few days, so she hasn't had time for Ji Jingshen.
Looking back now, she realized that she hadn't seen Xu Fengnian since the day she brought him to the hospital.
