INTENTION

CHAPTER 1301 - BILLIONAIRE

I thought now that the chairman and aunt must be billionaires, not in yuan or Korean won, but in dollars.

At this moment, Jin Jingze whispered something into my aunt's ear. Qiu Tong and I sat at the side, and I vaguely heard that Jin Jingze seemed to be talking to my aunt about some of her insights and my aunt's astonishing similarities.

After Jin Jingze finished speaking, the chairman and aunt's eyes lit up. Their gazes fell on Qiu Tong and their mouths slightly opened, as if she was somewhat surprised.

Following that, the chairman and aunt showed a pleased and joyful expression. They couldn't help but look at Qiu Tong with a little bit of love and affection.

Qiu Tong, you really are an intelligent good child. I really like a child like you. the chairman and aunt said.

Qiu Tong smiled embarrassedly. Thank you for your praise, Aunt.

Then, the chairman and aunt stood up, walked to the cabinet next to the desk, took out an exquisite rectangular gift box, walked back, and handed it to Qiu Tong.

This … Qiu Tong stood up in confusion, looking at the chairman and aunt.

Qiu Tong, happy birthday, I wish you a happy day in life. The chairman and aunt smiled.

Today was Qiu Tong's birthday.

Qiu Tong's face was immediately moved. She received the box with both hands and bowed deeply to the chairman and aunt. Thank you … Thank you, aunt.

I was surprised and surprised at the same time. How did she know it was Qiu Tong's birthday?

Looking at Jin Jingze, he seemed to be able to see through my and Qiu Tong's confusion. He smiled and said, The last time I went to Hai Zhou, I found out about Director Qiu's birthday from our unintentional conversation. On the plane back yesterday, I told Aunt that Auntie knew it was Director Qiu's birthday and was very happy, so I specially prepared a small gift for her.

So that's how it is. I couldn't help but have a moved expression on my face.

The chairman and aunt looked at Qiu Tong happily. Child, open it and take a look. See if you like it?

Qiu Tong carefully opened the gift box. It turned out that the birthday present given to Qiu Tong by the chairman and aunt was a very exquisite and beautiful silk scarf.

Although the gift was not expensive, it was a true love from the chairman's aunt.

Qiu Tong said with a happy expression, What a beautiful silk scarf, I really like it.

It's good that you like it. Haha, such a beautiful silk scarf, only a beautiful girl like you can be worthy of it. The chairman and aunt said to Qiu Tong happily.

Her words made me happy.

Once again, Qiu Tong expressed her gratitude to the chairman, his aunt, and Jin Jingze.

If I hadn't been in a hurry to fly to Germany, I would have given you a birthday party, the chairman's aunt said.

You are too kind and polite. I am already very grateful for this. How can I be ashamed to delay your work? Qiu Tong said with an uneasy tone.

Hur hur. The chairman and aunt looked at Qiu Tong with a loving gaze as they continued to smile happily.

As she smiled, she seemed to notice that the chairman and aunt were looking at Qiu Tong with a slightly absent-minded gaze.

In the face of the chairman and aunt's slightly absent-minded gazes, Qiu Tong slightly appeared to be at a loss.

The chairman's aunt suddenly frowned and pursed her lips. She shook her head and sighed. Then, she returned to her normal self and held Qiu Tong's hand. Child, I'm leaving.

The chairman and aunt are going to the airport. It's time to leave.

You're leaving now. Qiu Tong said with a hint of reluctance and nostalgia in her voice.

Hehe, yes, it's time for me to leave. Our meeting time is too short so we haven't had enough talk. The chairman and aunt smiled and continued to hold Qiu Tong's hand. When the next opportunity comes, I will definitely go visit Hai Zhou. When that time comes, we can meet again.

Sure, welcome. Qiu Tong said with a smile.

Then they all went downstairs to see the chairman and his aunt off to the airport.

Downstairs, in the lobby, a large black Mercedes was parked. In front of it stood the beautiful secretary of the chairman's aunt, and the rear door was open.

Jing Ze, you don't need to send me to the airport. Stay here and accompany Qiu Tong and Keke. The chairman and aunt said to Jin Jingze.

Alright aunt, you can rest assured. Jin Jingze agreed.

The chairman's aunt shook hands with me and Qiu Tong, and we wish her a safe journey.

Then the chairman's aunt walked to the door and was about to stoop down and get into the car when she stopped and looked back at us.

I sensed that she was looking at Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong stood there staring at her.

Child, what are you trying to say? The chairman and aunt looked at Qiu Tong with benevolence.

Qiu Tong seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say anything. She only smiled.

The chairman and aunt also smiled and said, I'm leaving.

Auntie! Qiu Tong suddenly cried out.

Yes. The chairman and aunt stopped again and looked at Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong lightly bit her lips and said, I wish you the best of luck and a safe journey.

The chairman and aunt smiled, then nodded. Thank you, son.

Then, the chairman and aunt got into the car, and the car drove away.

Qiu Tong stood there, her eyes focused on the direction the car had gone. The car disappeared from sight, and she looked down at the birthday present in her hands.

I stood to the side and looked at QiuTong, it seemed, I felt that QiuTong's eyes were a bit moist.

Also, it seemed that although this was the first time Qiu Tong and the chairman and aunt had met, they had a feeling of hate for meeting each other too late. The two of them seemed to like each other very much, and when they parted, they seemed to be reluctant to part with each other.

It made me feel strange.

Jin Jingze stood at the side and said with a smile, Director Qiu, it seems like you and my aunt are really fated. You can tell that my aunt really likes you. Fate, fate.

Qiu Tong came back to her senses and raised her head. She looked at me and then looked at Jin Jingze. Her gaze was still a little dazed as she smiled.

I didn't understand why Qiu Tong was smiling at this moment. This smile looked very simple, but it seemed to have a sense of loss and loss.

Thus, my first meeting with the chairman and aunt ended in such a hurry. Qiu Tong received a precious birthday present, but I didn't make it in time and got nothing.

But I'm just as happy, for Qiu Tong.

My happiness came from Qiu Tong's happiness.

At the same time, I really feel that the chairman and aunt are a kind elder, an outstanding female entrepreneur, and a respectable woman.

It is a great honor to know such an excellent woman and to have the opportunity to hear her teachings.

Although the chairman and aunt seemed to love Qiu Tong more than me, but I am not jealous, I am still very happy.

It was unknown what kind of preparations he would lay for this short meeting between the chairman and aunt.

For the rest of the day, we visited the group headquarters under the personal escort of Jin Jingze. Jin Jingze explained it to us as he accompanied us.

That night, in our hotel, Jin Jingze held a grand feast to celebrate QiuTong's birthday. Yuan Duo and Yayya, who had just returned from shopping, also participated.

Originally, I wanted to celebrate Qiu Tong's birthday tonight, but didn't expect that Jin Jingze would snatch this opportunity away.

Since that was the case, it was good as well. He might as well give Jin Jingze the chance.

In the hotel room, on the table, was a large, delicate cake with birthday candles stuck in it.

Yayo was very excited, staring at the cake and licking her fingers.

Jin Jingze looked at her and couldn't help but laugh: Darling, don't be anxious. Wait until mom finishes her promise and blows out the candles, then you can eat to your heart's content.

Thus, she urged Qiu Tong, Mom, Mom, quickly blow the candle and make a wish.

Qiu Tong chuckled. Little girl, don't be hasty.

Hee hee. Yayo laughed while looking at the cake with her eyes rolling back and forth.

Yuan Duo picked up the little girl and placed her on her lap to prevent her from launching a sneak attack on the cake.

Tonight, the beautiful silk scarf given to her by the chairman and aunt was tied around Qiu Tong's neck, increasing her attractiveness.

Everyone was sitting around the dining table. I got up and turned off the lights in my room. Jin Jingze lit his birthday candle and then took the lead to sing a birthday song: Happy birthday to you.

Everyone clapped and sang together. Qiu Tong was exceptionally beautiful in the candlelight. She clasped her hands together and held them to her chin. She lowered her head slightly and closed her eyes.

In the song of birthday blessing, looking at the calm and moving Qiu Tong, thinking of her ill-fated fate, my nose suddenly sour.

Qiu Tong closed her eyes and stayed silent for a while, not knowing what sort of wish and prayer she had in her heart.

After a moment she opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and blew out the candle.

Everyone applauded and the lights came on. A smile broke out on Qiu Tong's face.

Quick - quick - Mom, I want cake. Yayi impatiently urged Qiu Tong.

He had been shopping with Yuan Duo all day, so he was obviously hungry.

Qiu Tong smiled as she started to cut the cake. At the same time, the waiter started to serve the dishes.

After splitting the cake, all the dishes were served. While eating the cake with relish, Yayi said, It's so delicious. Mom's birthday cake is so delicious.

Everyone laughed.

At this time, Qiu Tong expressed her gratitude to Jin Jingze. I also said, Jing Ze, actually, tonight we should treat. This is our hotel, and it's also Director Qiu's birthday.

Jin Jingze laughed, Of course it's my turn to treat tonight. Firstly, I have my aunt's instructions, and before she left, she specifically instructed me to hold a birthday banquet for Director Qiu; secondly, you are the guests of our country now that you've come to Korea; thirdly, you're my guests as well; thirdly, even in this hotel, I should be the one to treat. Because our corporation is the biggest shareholder of this hotel.

So this hotel belongs to your group. I laughed.

Our group has been working on a variety of businesses and has gradually started to dabble in the hotel tourism industry, Jin said with a smile.

Diversification is the only way for the media industry to grow. Qiu Tong said.

Yes, you're right. That's what my aunt always says! Jin Jingze said.

It was as if Qiu Tong's words were similar to the chairman and aunt's.

Then, Jin Jingze raised his wine cup and looked at everyone, Beautiful Director Qiu, congratulations on your happy birthday. Tonight, the ones congratulating you on your birthday are me, Jin Jingze, and my brothers as well. Beautiful Yuan Duo, cute girl classmate.

Everyone laughed when Jin Jingze called them out one by one.

At the same time, tonight's feast has three meanings. First, it's Director Qiu's birthday banquet and it's also a welcome feast that I welcome to welcome all of you. At the same time, it's also a sending off of the banquet because tomorrow, all of you will return home. Jin Jingze had an apologetic but regretful expression on his face, You guys have come so many days to host a welcome banquet, it's too late. Sorry, you guys have to leave tomorrow as soon as we meet. It's a pity.

Qiu Tong consoled Jin Jingze, Everyone will have a chance to meet again in the future. Director Jin's kindness is truly touching.

Jin Jingze smiled, Come, let's toast. We wish a happy birthday to all of you, and wish you always to be young and beautiful.

Thank you everyone.

Here, cheers — Everyone raised their glasses.

CHAPTER 1302 - TRIPLE MEANING

Jin Jingze then suggested two cups of wine, one to welcome the wind and the other to send off the guests. With the addition of Qiu Tong's birthday congratulations, the feast consisted of three layers, which were quite rich.

Then, Jin Jingze gave everyone a toast alone, drinking in accordance with the traditional Chinese etiquette and procedure.

While toasting Qiu Tong, Jin Jingze said, "Director Qiu, not only are you and I fated to meet each other in Haizhou, you and my aunt are fated to meet each other as well. Not only do you have some astonishingly similar opinions and ideas before you even met, but after meeting each other, the conversation was very pleasant and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Hehe, this is the first time I've seen my aunt have such a fond expression towards a young girl. So, I said, you and my aunt were really fated. It's a pity that my aunt has already decided to go abroad. Otherwise, she would definitely personally come tonight to congratulate you on your birthday. "

Qiu Tong smiled and couldn't help but stroke the silk scarf. Thank you very much, thank you very much, your aunt. The silk scarf that she gave me is really a very precious birthday present. I like it very much, and I'm very touched as well. This trip to Korea, to be able to see you and your aunt, to be able to visit your group, it's very fortunate, and the harvest is also very big, I will always remember this trip to Korea. "

The meaning of Qiu Tong's words was clear, and her expression could not help but be moved.

Then, Jin Jingze toasted me, Brother, Yuke, let's have a nice drink tonight. Otherwise, when you go back, you will say that I'm not good enough for you.

I laughed and raised my glass, Jing Ze, brother, come. Let's toast three times!

Left! Jin Jingze spoke in Korean as if he meant it well. Then, he raised his wine glass and said, Come, brother, let's drink —

Kim Jong-eun and I had three drinks in a row.

Jin Jingze then gave Yuan Duo a toast. He looked at her and said, Beautiful Yuan Duo, are you going shopping happily today?

Yuan Duo giggled and said, I'm so happy.

Did you buy me any presents? Jin Jingze said.

This … Yuan Duo was stunned. Of course not.

Why don't you buy me a razor? Jin Jingze spoke with a serious tone and made a shaving gesture.

Oooh, why did I buy you a razor? Yuan Duo was stunned before she replied.

Because I can shave every day. I always wanted my girlfriend to send me a razor, but I don't have a girlfriend yet. Jin Jingze said.

Haha. Everyone started laughing. Only then did Yuan Duo understand that Jin Jingze was only joking with her.

No girlfriend, that's fine. You can go to China next time. I'll introduce you to a beautiful girl. Yuan Duo said.

Alright, then I'll first toast you with a glass of wine to express my gratitude. You're not allowed to go back on your words, okay? Jin Jingze said with a smile.

Wood question, what kind of girl are you looking for? Yuan Duo said.

Jin Jingze looked at Qiu Tong before looking at Yuan Duo, I want to look for someone as beautiful as Director Qiu and you.

Hehe, Director Jin sure knows how to praise people. Yuan Duo laughed.

Such a small beauty, do you dare to drink three cups of wine with me? Like me and my brother, too. Jin Jingze said to Yuan Duo.

Sure, of course. Yuan Duo said.

Jin Jingze didn't know the capacity of Yuan Duo. Not to mention three cups, even 10 cups wouldn't be drunk. Based on his previous experience with Jin Jingze, his capacity for alcohol was far inferior to Yuan Duo's.

Seeing that Yuan Duo agreed so readily, Jin Jingze could not help but be slightly surprised. He then grinned and said: Then let's drink.

Jin Jingze and Yuan Duo drank three cups of wine together, and Yuan Duo drank it to her heart's content. She finished it in one gulp, and her face did not change at all after that.

After Jin Jingze finished drinking, he gave Yuan Duo a big thumbs up, Yuan Duo, good job. Drink enough, brothers.

Yuan Duo couldn't help but laugh.

Alright, Uncle Jin, it's time to drink with me. Yayo couldn't wait any longer. She raised her drink and shouted.

Jin Jingze laughed and raised his glass to look at Yayi, My darling, how many cups would you like to drink with uncle?

Three cups! I'll have three drinks. Uncle will have three drinks!

Ah — Jin Jingze made an exaggerated expression as he pinched Yayi's nose, Baby, with such a big cup, how can you fit your belly into three drinks?

My belly can fit. Ye Zichen patted his belly.

Qiu Tong couldn't help but laugh. Girl, what Uncle is drinking is wine, and what you are drinking is a beverage. How can you drink as much as that? How about this, you toast your uncle with a drink, and then you take a big gulp. Your uncle also takes a sip. How about that?

Ya Ya blinked her eyes and looked at Jin Jingze: Since my mother has spoken, then I'll give you face. Come, let me toast you, Uncle Jin.

Yuan Duo and I sat there watching them and laughing.

Uncle is still the best. There is a saying in China, if you want to be good, you have to respect the young. Jin Jingze then clinked cups with the maidservant.

Then, Qiu Tong gave Jin Jingze a glass of wine. Director Jin, thank you for your hospitality, and especially thank your aunt for her kindness to me and Yuke. We welcome you and your aunt to China at a convenient time.

Jin Jingze agreed readily and raised his glass to drink with Qiu Tong.

At this moment, Yuan Duo leaned close to my ear and whispered, Brother, Jin Jingze was right just now. I really bought two razors today, one for Hai Feng and one for you.

Hearing Yuan Duo's words, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart as I looked at her and smiled.

Yuan Duo pursed her lips and smiled before she lowered her head to eat.

On the other side, Qiu Tong and Jin Jingze had finished drinking and were continuing their conversation.

I looked at Jin Jingze and suddenly said, Jing Ze, why is your aunt still single?

Hearing me ask this, Qiu Tong's eyelids jumped, then she stared at Jin Jingze.

Jin Jingze didn't seem to think that I would ask this question. He couldn't help but be stunned.

After all, this was a personal and private matter.

I also felt a little awkward, but the moment I said those words, I couldn't withdraw them.

Qiu Tong, on the other hand, didn't seem to have these thoughts. It was as if the curiosity and interest in her heart overwhelmed the question of politeness.

Jin Jingze smiled: Aunt's life could be said to be full of mishaps. As for the question you asked, hehe, I'm not too sure either. Come, let's drink.

Obviously, Jin Jingze didn't want to talk about this issue in front of outsiders, so he tactfully refused. I think it's impossible for him not to know, but he doesn't want to talk about it.

Since Jin Jingze said so, I shouldn't pursue the matter any further. Otherwise, it would be asking for trouble.

Thus, I smiled. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that. It's too impolite.

Jin Jingze laughed silently and raised his wine cup without a word.

I raised my glass.

Qiu Tong raised her glass with a regretful yet seemingly understanding expression.

After drinking, Jin Jingze seemed to be somewhat emotional. He looked at us and said, Tell me, what is the truth about fate?

Qiu Tong and I did not speak. Looking at Jin Jingze, Yuan Duo did not speak either.

If life can be said to be a wanderer, then consciousness lies on the road. The scorching coolness of life is the truth of fate. After Jin Jingze finished his sentence, he added, The world has changed like a dream. When the heart is not awake, it is a grave!

When the heart does not wake up, it is a grave. My heart skipped a beat as I couldn't help but recite it in my heart.

Qiu Tong looked at Jin Jingze with a thoughtful expression.

This is something my aunt once said. Jin Jingze didn't say anything else.

It seemed that Jin Jingze's words were a tactful reply to my question just now.

Qiu Tong couldn't help but sigh softly, her expression somewhat gloomy.

Then, Qiu Tong looked at Jin Jingze. Only a person who has a profound understanding of the truth of fate would bravely play a game of chess with fate. Your aunt should be such a person.

Jin Jingze nodded his head: That's right, my aunt is indeed such a person. Although she believes in fate, she will never give in to it.

If she had submitted to fate earlier, she would not be where she is today. Qiu Tong said.

Yes! Jin Jingze nodded again.

There are some fates that can be resisted, but there are some fates that can't be helped. Qiu Tong muttered to herself.

Jin Jingze looked at Qiu Tong with wide eyes, If you say something like that, I … My aunt used to say that. "

I couldn't help but stare at Qiu Tong with wide eyes.

Qiu Tong gave a soft oh and looked at Jin Jingze. Really?

Of course it's true. It seems to be true, said Jin Jingze, that you and my aunt were fated.

Qiu Tong smiled.

Yuan Duo sat there quietly and listened to our discussion with a thoughtful expression. She didn't say anything. It was as if she was also thinking about her own fate.

In his ignorance, he felt that fate was like an ice-cold sword, chasing after the blood. It does not hurt indifference, nor can indifference hurt it. Its two blades must pierce the heart of a hot-blooded man.

To fall was life, to save was also life. This was fate.

Looking at the Jinjing, Zephyr Guild's Yuan Duo and Yaya, I thought that their lives and lives have their own choices and that I, too, may have already been destined to do so.

And thinking of the chairman and his aunt, what would her fate be in the end?

After the birthday party, the slightly tipsy Jin Jingze took his leave. He will be very busy tomorrow and won't be able to see us off himself.

We would like to express our understanding and sincere thanks for the hospitality extended to him.

Before he left, Jin Jingze hugged and kissed her before putting her down and said to Yuan Duo, Little Yuan Duo, little Yuan Duo, your alcohol capacity is so high. I admit that I can't drink more than you.

Yuan Duo giggled.

The next time I go to China, I must have a good drink with you. I don't believe that I can't drink with you. Jin Jingze's body swayed as he said unwillingly.

Everyone started laughing and I said, Jing Ze, it's normal for you to not be able to drink Yuan flower. Not to mention you, even if I were you, I might not be able to drink her.

Really? Jin Jingze was looking at me and Yuan Duo with his big eyes.

Yuan Duo smiled at me and said, Brother, please don't call me a barrel of wine.

I chuckled.

Brother? Jin Jingze looked at me, Hey, Yuan Duo calls you brother. Aren't you guys colleagues? How can she call you brother?

I said seriously, That's our nickname!

Nickname? Jin Jingze chuckled as he looked at Yuan Duo, and slyly rolled his eyes, Sigh — Little Yuan Duo, we are good buddies, why don't you give me a nickname as well? Can you also call me brother?

Brother Jin! Yuan Duo cried out and then laughed.

No, you want me to call you big brother? Jin Jingze chuckled.

Brother Jin! Yuan Duo cried out again.

Sigh, there's a difference. Jin Jingze shook his head in dissatisfaction.

Bro — — Ya Ya suddenly jumped up and shouted.

Jin Jingze immediately grinned.

Everyone was laughing. Qiu Tong picked up her and lightly patted her butt. Girl, you can't call me that. You have to call me Uncle Jin.

Hee hee, uncle. Yah-ya changed her mind.

Heh heh. Jin Jingze smiled as he pinched Yayi's cheek. He then inadvertently glanced at Yuan Duo and me before bidding us farewell.

CHAPTER 1303 - IRREVERSIBLE

After sending Jin Jingze off, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

Tomorrow, we will take the opportunity to leave Korea and return to Haizhou.

Back in my room, I took a shower, sat on the sofa and smoked a cigarette. I watched TV for a while.

At this moment I thought of Haizhu, she is currently taking a tour group in Taiwan, my parents and her parents are together. Tomorrow, they would end their journey and return to the mainland. I don't know if they had a good time on this trip, or if they were happy. With four elders together, it was inevitable that they would talk about me and Hai Zhu's marriage, that was certain.

Thinking that there were only two more months before Hai Zhu and I entered the marriage hall, I didn't know how to feel at the moment. It was as if my fate would end in Hai Zhu and I's marriage.

I know that the marriage between me and Hai Zhu has already become a foregone conclusion and is already irreversible. Qiu Tong's and Li Shun's marriages are also irreversible. Qiu Tong and I are engaged to be married, so we will enter our respective marriages tomorrow.

Between me and Hai Zhu, I am Hai Zhu's most beloved person, this is something I am very clear about. Although I have never asked myself whether Hai Zhu is my most beloved woman, but I still have a kind of emotion towards her that is hard to part with. Whether it is kinship or love, whether it is kinship or love, whether it is love, I don't think much about it.

At the same time, I also know that I have an unavoidable responsibility towards Hai Zhu. This responsibility seems to come from the drive of my morals and conscience, and it also comes from Qiu Tong's catalyzing and prompting.

Between Qiu Tong and Li Shun, I clearly knew that Qiu Tong didn't love Li Shun. Although she was very concerned about Li Shun's life and death for reasons that I couldn't understand, and even dreamt of sensing Li Shun's misfortune, I was certain that Qiu Tong truly didn't care about Li Shun from the bottom of her heart. But even if she did not have any feelings, she would still accept the arrangement of fate without any complaints, and marry herself to Li Shun for the sake of repaying her gratitude.

As for Li Shun, I knew that he had never really loved Qiu Tong either. Before Fu Mei's appearance, I had the feeling that he had never had any love for any woman, that he cared more for her than he cared for her because of her. On the other hand, it was to protect his family's honor and his own reputation.

Fu Mei's appearance confirmed my analysis and judgement. It was as if Li Shun had never really let Fu Mei go, even though he hated her to the bones, but that hatred seemed to come from some kind of love, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Hai Zhou to take her away. Although the reason for taking Fu Mei away was very noble, I still suspected that he had some reason that he couldn't explain to me.

And Li Shun taking Fu Mei away seems to overturn my judgment that Li Shun would never have feelings for a woman.

Moreover, at the same time, because of Fu Mei's appearance, I also felt that Li Shun's heart was getting further and further away from Qiu Tong. When he and Qiu Tong entered the marriage, Qiu Tong could only be a decoration, a tool to protect Li Shun's own family's reputation. And Qiu Tong seemed to be willing to make such a tool.

I am powerless to save Qiu Tong. In this world, no one can save Qiu Tong. The only person who can save her is her, and she is unwilling to do so.

Her personality determined fate. Was Qiu Tong's fate really going to be buried in her character?

As I thought about it, I felt a great depression in my heart, a depression that almost suffocated me.

I changed my clothes and wanted to get some fresh air.

He left his room and walked to the hotel's open platform. Looking around, he could see the bright city lights of Seoul.

At the same time, he saw a lonely figure standing on the other side of the platform.

This is Qiu Tong's back, I am familiar with this back.

I walked slowly to her side.

Qiu Tong sensed it and turned her head to look at me. No rest?

Yes. Yes, I said.

Why didn't you rest? Qiu Tong said.

Why haven't you rested? I asked.

Qiu Tong laughed. After drinking some wine, my brain is a little excited. I can't fall asleep, so I came out to take a breath of fresh air!

I said, Me too!

Qiu Tong looked at me, then went silent.

I was silent, too.

Together we watched the night in Seoul in silence.

Why did you lie to me that day? After a while, Qiu Tong spoke.

I knew she was referring to the assassination of Li Shun on the eve of National Day.

Because I don't want you to worry! No, I said.

When I called you, you knew something was up over there, didn't you? Qiu Tong said.

Yes!

If Jin Jingze had mentioned it by accident, you would never have told me, would you? Qiu Tong said again.

Yes, I said without hesitation.

But I still know!

There's no other way!

And I know you lied to me again! Qiu Tong said again.

There's no other way!

Are you confident? Qiu Tong turned around and looked at me.

He's not very confident, but he's not very afraid either! My voice softened a little.

Qiu Tong silently looked at me for a long time before sighing softly.

I've been feeling weird these past few days. Qiu Tong said.

What's strange?

I wonder why I had such a nightmare at that time!

I was curious, too, when I got your call that night.

Qiu Tong turned her head to the autumn sky in the Republic of Korea and said, Perhaps, this is all the arrangement of fate. Everything in the underworld is actually the arrangement of destiny. Everything is destined.

I didn't know how to explain it, but my mind was a mess. Could it be that this was fate, that Qiu Tong and Li Shun were destined to be together?

I felt that perhaps because of this dream, Qiu Tong seemed to believe even more that her previous insistence was irrevocable. She believed even more in the Chief Sovereign of Fate's decision.

Thinking like this, his mood became increasingly gloomy and heavy.

Do you believe that life has a cycle? Qiu Tong suddenly asked me.

I don't know.

Buddha said that there is reincarnation in human life.

I stared at Qiu Tong in a daze.

I don't understand Buddhism, nor do I know if life has reincarnation, but if life has reincarnation, do I have the chance to meet my parents who I don't know where? If I can see my parents again like this, even if it's just for a day, or even just for a glance, then I really hope that time can flow backwards! Qiu Tong's tone was somewhat sorrowful and sorrowful.

My heart felt sour. If it can really be like this, I also hope that time can flow backwards.

If that was really possible, if Qiu Tong really could meet her parents, then their parents would definitely feel gratified to see that their daughter had grown up. However, this could only be a beautiful dream.

I couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Qiu Tong muttered to herself, If it can really be like this, then I pray that I can meet my parents, just like how a friend's cousin meets her grandmother, and let me have the chance to be by their side, to talk to them, or to take a walk. Even if it would be better for me to catch a glimpse of them from afar.

To an ordinary person, such a simple matter was an incomparably extravagant request in Qiu Tong's heart. My tears suddenly gushed out as I turned around and faced the night sky, not allowing Qiu Tong to see my tears.

Life was so simple, yet so difficult.

For some reason, in my misty tears, the shadow of the chairman and aunt flashed before my eyes.

The next day we set out for home.

While waiting in line for security check in the terminal hall of Renchuan Airport, Yuan Duo took her to the bathroom. Qiu Tong and I stood there chatting.

While we were talking, Qiu Tong's gaze suddenly shifted to behind me, an expression of surprise on her face.

Bewildered, I turned my head.

The first thing I saw was Guan Yunfei, dressed in casual clothes, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses. Although he was wearing sunglasses, I recognized him immediately.

Then I saw Qin Lu, who was also dressed in casual clothes and wearing sunglasses, holding Guan Yunfei's arm.

The two seemed to be very close as they chatted and laughed as they walked towards a nearby coffee shop. In the eyes of the onlookers, this was undoubtedly a couple.

They acted as if no one else was around, and their gazes were focused on the two of us. Naturally, they didn't see us.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yunfei and Qin Lu also came to Korea for a holiday. Instead of coming with Xie Fei, Guan Yunfei took Qin Lu to South Korea to roam around.

Who would've thought that these two would be so daring to walk together in front of so many people without a care in the world?

Perhaps they felt that they were abroad and that they wouldn't meet any familiar faces here, which was why they dared to act so boldly.

Nowadays, it was very easy for people like Guan Yunfei to leave the country, even if they wanted to do so privately. He might even have a second account, which would allow him to leave the country at any time.

As for the passport, it is also very simple. All you need to do is to provide an ID certificate and a copy of it to the immigration authorities.

I helplessly watched as Guan Yunfei and Qin Lu intimately walked into the coffee shop. Guan Yunfei even touched Qin Lu's buttocks.

I immediately came up with three conclusions: first, they were flying home today, they were going to work tomorrow, and their trip was over; second, they weren't traveling with the regiment to Korea, they were traveling alone, and third, they weren't on the same flight as us. If it was our flight, they would have to come to the safe passage and not go to the coffee shop; it seemed that their flight would have to wait for some time, they had plenty of time to arrive at the airport in advance, and they would have to drink some coffee first.

I wasn't the least bit surprised by the previous scene. I already knew that the relationship between the two of you was very ambiguous. Of course, from my analysis, the fact that they were able to be together was largely because they each had their own needs. It could also be considered a kind of transaction.

I wasn't surprised, but Qiu Tong wasn't.

I looked back at Qiu Tong. Her eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion, and her mouth was half-open.

Apparently, she was shocked, not including her friends.

I chuckled at Qiu Tong. What, you're surprised? Surprised? Unbelievable?

Eh … Qiu Tong withdrew her gaze from the direction of the coffee shop and looked at me. They … why …

I already noticed it. What are you making such a fuss about? I said disapprovingly.

How can they be like this, Supervisor, he … Qiu Tong still couldn't accept this.

What happened to Director Guan? Director Guan is also human, and also a man. As long as you are human, you have emotions and desires, and you have physical needs. The bigger the person, the more they will go from morning to night, the more they will gather wives and concubines, isn't it a very normal thing for a big character to find a lover? No, I said.

But …

But what? But the director is a very high figure in your eyes, you can't imagine that, can you? But, Qin Lu is an acquaintance of yours, so you think it's inconceivable that she's actually Supervisor Guan's lover? But since Senior Sister Xie Fei is so elegant and beautiful, isn't it unfair for Chief Steward to look for a lover? I asked a series of rhetorical questions.

CHAPTER 1304 - SO PRESUMPTUOUS

Qiu Tong took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions. She looked at me and said, Perhaps what you said is reasonable. Perhaps, it was I who captured my vision and thoughts.

I said, I can understand how you feel. People who don't have anything to do with you seem to find a lover that's too far away for you to care about, but people who do have this kind of thing around them would find it somewhat unacceptable, wouldn't they?

Maybe … Qiu Tong said.

Especially Chief Steward Xie Fei Qin Lu, you know her. Especially since she's your superior, you'll find that even more difficult to accept. No, I said.

Qiu Tong nodded and could not help but let out a long sigh.

I said, It's fortunate that they didn't see us. Otherwise, everyone would be very embarrassed. Even in my dreams, I never would have thought that I could easily meet someone I knew in a foreign country. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so presumptuous. Qin Lu also did not expect it. "

Qiu Tong said, Yes, luckily they didn't see us, or else I really wouldn't know how to end this. How awkward it would be for everyone. This world is very big, and yet it is also so small. It just so happens that we meet them here. They don't see us right now, but what if we meet them on the plane?

Qiu Tong suddenly became anxious.

I laughed. Silly girl, since they can still go to the coffee shop at this time, they are definitely not on the same flight as us. You didn't see where they were coming from. They came straight in from the terminal entrance, and they didn't even change their boarding passes. They must get on the next flight. Furthermore, they might not even be able to fly directly to Hai Zhou. They might even be flying to Beijing.

Hearing my words, Qiu Tong heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, Your analysis makes sense. I hope so.

What should I hope? It must be. No, I said.

Alright, I'll be sure of it then. I hope that's the case! Qiu Tong said.

There is no hope!

Good, there is no hope! I hope there is hope! Qiu Tong said.

I chuckled. Qiu Tong laughed as well, but soon after, she shook her head and sighed.

Do you believe in the things in this world that you can't think of and do without? I asked Qiu Tong.

I believe, I believe, I must believe! Qiu Tong nodded and looked at me. How did you know about the matter between Chairman Guan and Qin Lu?

I said, Observe, analyze, and judge.

How long have you known?

Some days.

Then, that senior sister of yours, Xie Fei, does she know?

I shook my head.

You didn't tell her?

Yes, I do!

Xie Fei is your Senior Sister, do you feel you're unworthy of her by doing this? Qiu Tong said in a half-joking tone.

The old manager is my superior. How can I let my superior down by doing this? I said in the same half-joking tone.

It seems that you don't mind making your conscience uneasy for the sake of your future. Qiu Tong said.

Heh heh, that's not true either.

I think so! Qiu Tong pretended to be serious.

It's really not!

Why do you say that?

I said, Firstly, it is normal for big figures to have a lover these days. As the wife of the director, she should have known this when she married the manager. She should have been mentally prepared.

Second, from the looks of it, the relationship between the old manager and Qin Lu had yet to reach the stage where they could shake off Xie Fei's position. In other words, Qin Lu had yet to seek justice and ask for a divorce between the old manager and Xie Fei, nor have they reached a point where the three of them were at loggerheads. At a time like this, I felt that there was no need to interfere.

Thirdly, as the saying goes, rather than destroying a marriage ceremony, it is better to destroy ten temples than to destroy a marriage ceremony. Old Man Guan's banner fluttered in the wind, but as long as the red flag in the family does not fall, it is fine. As long as Old Man Liu continues to be responsible for his family, as long as Xie Fei does not know about it, he will not cause any harm to her.

After hearing what I had to say, Qiu Tong thought for a moment and said, Perhaps what you said is correct. There is a certain amount of truth to it. However, I still find it a little strange.

What's strange? No, I said.

This is the seventh day of the National Day holiday. What kind of reason did Director Guan find to come to Korea with Qin Lu instead of spending it with Xie Fei? Qiu Tong said.

I said, Actually, I was thinking about that too. Maybe it was Sheffield who used her vacation to visit her family in the south, and the old man made up some excuse not to go with her. Maybe it was Sheffield who went out for a lecture and couldn't get back on National Day. In short, there are many possibilities. In short, Old Manager and Qin Lu still came out together and spent an ecstatic National Day holiday in Korea."

Qiu Tong shook her head again and sighed. Looks like it's not a good thing for this man to get along. Men who have the right to be rich can become bad. It seems that this rule can't be broken by anyone.

I chuckled. Wrong, I can break it!

Qiu Tong looked at me and pursed her lips into a smile. Whether or not we can break it depends on how we act. Simply saying it out loud won't work.

At this moment, I don't have any authority or money, but it seems that I have already started to get worse. From Yuan Duo to Yun'er, from Yun'er to Hai Zhu, from Hai Zhu to Xia Yu, from Xia Yu to Qiu Tong, from Qiu Tong to I don't know if there's a senior sister I've already become, I actually unknowingly have that kind of relationship with five and a half women. That half is Xie Fei.

Five and a half, so many. How could I have so many? How did all this happen? Even though I knew what was going on, I pretended to question myself in my mind.

Facing Qiu Tong's bright eyes and clear eyes, I suddenly didn't dare to look directly at her.

It seems that on this point, Qiu Tong lacked confidence in me.

She seems to know or perceive that I have a great deal of trouble.

Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but sink as a shadow arose in my heart.

What is it? No more confidence? Qiu Tong's eyes were fixed on me.

I grinned. Yes, why not!

Why does it sound like he has no confidence? Qiu Tong looked at me with a faint smile.

Why don't you have any confidence? What do you want me to say to that?" I raised my voice a few decibels.

It doesn't matter if the voice is loud or not, the fact is that sometimes, the louder the voice is, the more unconfident one is. After she finished speaking, Qiu Tong said.

You — what the hell do you want? I was a little anxious, so I waved my fist towards Qiu Tong.

Seeing me like this, Qiu Tong couldn't help but laugh. What? If you don't want to fight, you want to fight?

What is it? You are not convinced? I chuckled.

Of course …

Of course what? I leaned close to Qiu Tong and made as if to hug her.

Of course … I'm convinced." Qiu Tong was a little nervous and quickly changed her words. Then, she smiled and took a few steps back.

I shook my head in triumph.

At this moment, Yuan Duo came back with her and everyone started to enter the security checkpoint.

After the security check, we went straight to the boarding gate. Just as we were about to get there, Yuan Duo's sharp eyes suddenly went blank and she said to me and Qiu Tong, Brother, Sister Qiu, I saw Sister Yun'er.

My heart skipped a beat as I followed Yuan Duo's gaze. Sure enough, I saw Yun'er at the boarding gate, sitting there with her head lowered as she played with her phone.

Most of the passengers waiting at the side also lowered their heads to play on their phones.

Nowadays, people who were waiting for an airplane, other than babies or old people, all liked to play with mobile phones. Some even used to play with two mobile phones.

At this moment, Qiu Tong also saw Yun'er.

No doubt, Yun'er was on the same flight as us. She had arrived at the gate before our security check.

No doubt, Yun'er also came to Korea, and wanted to go back on the same flight as us.

What did Yun'er come to Korea for? When did she come? With whom? I had a series of questions.

Before I could find an answer to the first two questions, I quickly scanned the people around Yun'er, but there were no familiar faces.

At this moment, Yun'er didn't seem to notice us. She seemed to be engrossed in playing with her phone, not knowing what she was playing with.

Although she didn't see us at the moment, but since we're going back on the same flight, we'll find out sooner or later. Rather than being seen by her, it's better to take the initiative to greet her.

I nodded at Qiu Tong. Let's go.

Qiu Tong also nodded in agreement. Perhaps her thoughts were the same as mine.

The seats next to Yun'er were empty. We went straight to the empty seats and put our bags on them.

Then, I walked to Yun'er's side and looked down. She was actually reading a book on her cell phone. She was still engrossed in the book.

I reached out and patted her head. Hey, little girl, stand up!

Right after he finished speaking, I saw Qiu Tong and Yuan Duo start laughing uncontrollably.

Yun'er seemed startled. She raised her head and saw me, then Qiu Tongyuan and Duo Ya behind me. Then, she stood up with a look of surprise in her eyes.

At this moment, I can only say that Yun'er's gaze seems to be a little surprised, because I don't know if she is really surprised or not. I don't even know if she already knew that we came to Korea, that we were going back today, or even that she knew of our trip to Korea.

Then, Yun'er smiled.

Little sister Yun'er. Qiu Tong took the initiative to greet Yun'er.

Big Sister Yun'er. Yuan Duo also called Yun'er.

Auntie Yun'er. Yayi also hurriedly let out a cry.

I looked at Yun'er critically.

I made a joke with Yun'er just now. It's been a long time since we had a joke together. Today, I did it on purpose. In a foreign land, I don't want to make the atmosphere too heavy.

Yun'er smiled at us. What a coincidence. We ran into each other here.

We came to Korea together in a newspaper, we rushed back after our trip today, Qiu Tong said to Yun'er with a smile. Little sister Yun'er, when did you arrive in Korea? Are you here for business or for travel?"

Yun'er said, Me, I came on October 2nd, either to do business or to travel, to relax.

October 2nd. We also came on October 2nd. Yuan Duo said, Hey — Big Sister Yun'er, why didn't I meet you when we were coming over?

Yun'er said, You must have taken off from Haizhou, right? I took off from Beijing. It seems that we have reached the same destination.

Ya Ya then said, Auntie Yun'er, if only you had known about your trip to Korea, you would have joined us.

Yun'er laughed, lowering her head to look at Yayi, stroking her face. My good darling, do you really welcome auntie to come with you?

Really, really. Yahweh nodded seriously.

Sigh … such a cute child. If only adults could have such thoughts. Unfortunately, it is only children's thoughts. After saying that, Yun'er bent down and kissed Yaya's cheek.

Yuan Duo was stunned as she looked at me and Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong's expression instantly turned somewhat awkward.

CHAPTER 1305 - STAB IN PAIN

I grinned and said, You didn't tell me you were going on a trip to Korea. Is it interesting to say that now?

Yun'er looked up at me. You want to argue with me? You were just joking around to scare me, why did your face change so abruptly? Could my words have pricked someone's heart? "

I hastily said, Alright, let's not quarrel. This is a foreign quarrel and let the foreigners see the joke. We have to protect the face of our countrymen.

Yun'er said, That's more like it. Let me tell you, don't provoke me. If you provoke me, I'll make it difficult for you.

I grinned again and said, I didn't mean to mess with you. I was just teasing you.

Upon hearing this, Yun'er seemed to recall the scene of me teasing her. A trace of warmth flashed across her eyes as she said, How rare. You can even joke with me. It seems like you haven't joked with me for a long time. Should I feel happy and moved?

Yun'er's voice was laced with a hint of bitterness, grievance, and impetuosity.

Before, in Mingzhou, Yun'er and I used to hang out and play together, and I used to play some pranks to amuse her. However, ever since my bankruptcy and wandering to Haizhou, Yun'er had suddenly disappeared, until we met again, and the mood and atmosphere between us seemed to have disappeared. Today, however, seemed to be a rare joke that I hadn't had a chance to have with Yun'er for a long time.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel even more sad.

It used to be like this for me and Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke would make some noises to scare me and make me happy. Yun'er looked at Qiu Tong and Yuan Duo as she spoke. It was as if she wanted to give Qiu Tong and Yuan Duo a hint.

Qiu Tong and Yuan Duo laughed, laughing awkwardly.

Have you enjoyed your trip these past few days? Yun'er said again.

Yes, it's good. Qiu Tong said.

Lord, you are speaking in a reserved manner, not in a fast manner. As Yun'er spoke, she lowered her head to ask Yayi, Yayi, did you come out to have fun?

Happy, happy, so happy. said Yayo, bouncing up and down.

Qiu Tong was slightly embarrassed for a moment before she smiled indulgently.

Auntie Yun'er, are you enjoying yourself? She then asked Yun'er.

Yun'er said, Auntie is the same as you, having fun. By the way, baby, tell auntie where you all went to play.

Yun'er no longer believed in adults. Knowing that the child would tell the truth, she directly chatted with the pussy.

Yayi then told Yun'er about the places we went to play for the past few days and asked, Auntie Yun'er, where have you gone to play?

Me … Yun'er smiled. What a coincidence. I'm the same place as you guys, but I didn't meet you guys.

Oooh — what a coincidence. But, what a pity, I didn't meet Auntie. said Yayo cheerfully.

My heart sank. Yun'er seemed to be hinting at something through her dialogue with Yayi, as though she had really been following us all along and our whereabouts seemed to be within her control.

Why would Yun'er want to travel to Korea? Why follow our route? What was her purpose in coming to Korea? Traveling or not. A question mark welled up in my head.

Looking at Qiu Tong, Qiu Tong seemed to be able to hear the meaning behind Yun'er's words. She had a slightly uneasy expression as she lightly pursed her lips.

Yun'er smiled and looked at us. The four of you are here together to travel to Korea. This combination is really good.

What's so good about it? Qiu Tong said with a smile.

What's so good about it? Yun'er said, It seems that it's a good thing that we didn't come, and that we didn't come, but that we did. It was as if he hadn't come, and he hadn't come either. It seems like it's time for what shouldn't have come. What shouldn't have come is coming."

Although Yun'er had said this with a smile, Qiu Tong Yuan Hua had clearly heard the meaning behind his words. Her expression became somewhat ugly, and Qiu Tong's face had even turned somewhat pale.

Yun'er's words were obviously a provocation towards Qiu Tong, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous as I said to Yun'er, These words of yours are completely muddled, with the order of the main course reversed. I don't understand what you're saying.

Little Ke, don't you understand? Sister Qiu, do you understand? Yun'er smiled at Qiu Tong.

Qiu Tong forced a smile and nodded. I understand.

Yun'er looked at me and said, Xiao Ke, look, elder sister Qiu is obviously smarter than you. She understands!

Qiu Tong pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes dimmed.

I looked at Yun'er. Yun'er, do you think you're the smartest person here? Can't you just make trouble here?"

Yun'er said, I didn't mean it that way. I was chatting with Big Sister Qiu. What can a grown man like you do? Ask Qiu-jie if I'm in trouble. Sister Qiu, tell me, am I in trouble?

Yun'er continued to look at Qiu Tong with a provocative gaze.

Obviously, Yun'er is very dissatisfied with me and Qiu Tong traveling to Korea together. Although Yuan Duo and Ya Ya can't accompany us, it seems like her anger has been accumulated for several days. Today, she finally found an opportunity to vent it.

Qiu Tong continued to smile. Little sister Yun'er, I'm very happy to meet you here, and everyone is very happy, but I also have some regrets. If I knew you were coming to Korea earlier, it would have been more lively if you were willing to travel together with us. As for what you said just now, I think I understand. I think I understand your feelings.

Yun'er smiled. Look, it's still Big Sister Qiu who is empathetic. It's still Big Sister Qiu who knows how to speak. Xiao Ke, you have to learn from her to be her subordinate. Don't be like eating explosives all day, just come find me for trouble. "

I was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Yun'er looked at Qiu Tong and said, Big Sister Qiu, this silk scarf of yours is so beautiful. Where did you buy it?

Perhaps Yun'er felt that she had gone too far with her words just now, or perhaps Qiu Tong's answer had made her feel that she had brought a bit of a humiliation to herself, so she had changed the topic.

Yun'er had obviously noticed the silk scarf that was tied around Qiu Tong's neck. It was a birthday present from the chairman and aunt.

Qiu Tong was a little hesitant, but before she could say anything, the maidservant pranced to the side and said, Auntie, my mom didn't buy her own pretty silk scarf. Someone gave it to her.

Yun'er's eyelids twitched when she heard this.

Yun'er then looked down at her and said smilingly, Darling, who gave you your mother's beautiful silk scarf?

This … Although Ya Ya knew that Qiu Tong didn't buy the silk scarf, she couldn't say who was the one who sent it. After all, she didn't follow Qiu Tong and me to meet the chairman and aunt, and didn't have a specific concept in her head. She looked at Qiu Tong, then looked at me, as if wanting to get an answer from us.

Then, he shook his head.

Yayi stopped and shook her head, and added on to the fact that she couldn't stop looking at me and Qiu Tong, Yun'er seemed to have understood something all of a sudden, and her face turned slightly cold as she looked at Qiu Tong and me.

Yuan Duo stood at the side without saying anything, as if she didn't know whether or not she should tell Yun'er and Jin Jingze about his aunt.

For a moment, I hesitated, wondering how I could tell Yun'er about Jin Jingze and the chairman and aunt.

Qiu Tong seemed to be hesitating about this matter and didn't say anything for a while.

I thought for a moment and was about
