Chapter 1596: You Are My Little Love Song (163)
So, Ling Xuaner and Qin Siting?
At this moment, at the table next door, there seemed to be someone else by the side. The other person was speaking. From his tone, it seemed like he was lower than others, but he also wanted to cling onto someone. “Aiya, if the Ling family is connected to the Qin family through marriage, it will be really great in the future. It’s convenient to connect the two sides. Back then, when we saw Qin Siting, we even said that such an outstanding child is the only child of the Qin family. I don’t know how good a girl is to be worthy of him. Now, we have him. The Ling family and the Qin family are really compatible. Xuan’er is beautiful and likes Qin Siting. The two children will definitely get along very well in the future. As elders, we won’t have to worry.”
“Yes, yes, as long as the children like each other, we don’t have to worry so much about them…”
Auntie Bai came back and saw that Shi Niange was still sitting there. She walked over and asked softly, “Nian Nian, aren’t you going back to your room to rest? Didn’t I tell you to go back first?”
“I’m fine. Let’s have a chat first. After all, I specially rushed back from the United States. Right now, Shida Group is constantly in a state of panic. I don’t have much contact with these things. There are a lot of things I don’t understand. If I don’t hurry, I’m afraid I’ll delay even more things,” Shi Niange said softly. Then, she looked at Auntie Bai. “In the past, I always thought that Dad and Mom were busy with business because business was getting better. Now, I know that the internal department of Shida Group has been taken away. The portion that isn’t taken away isn’t my own money. It can be taken away at any time.”
Auntie Bai looked at her. Seeing that she really wanted to talk, she sat down and listened seriously.
“Right now, there are only two choices in front of me. Either I get funding and fill in the empty space, resolving Shida Group’s urgent needs. Of course, after the funding, I can negotiate the fixed profits every year. As long as I can tide through the current difficulties, it’s fine. Otherwise, I’ll give the shares to those people…”
Auntie Bai understood the internal situation of Shida Group, so there was no need for Shi Niange to say more. She also understood who those people were.
After a moment of silence, she said, “Originally, the project I discussed with your mother was just a project. The money I can use is only a few hundred million yuan. I can’t take out more than that. Initially, I planned to take out half of it to cooperate with Shida, and the other half to invest in something else. Now that Shida Group is so difficult to do, I’ll invest all of it. Anyway… your mother suddenly left. I don’t have anything else to help her. She only has you as her daughter. If I don’t dote on you, who can support you in the future?”
In the future, who else could support you?
If it were more than a week ago, Shi Niange would have naively said that there were many people, including her mother, her grandfather, and Qin Siting.
Her grandfather was already old. He had dedicated so many years to medicine. Coupled with the blow of her daughter’s death in a car accident, he fell ill a few days ago when he arrived in Los Angeles. His blood pressure was unstable, and he rested temporarily after the funeral.
Her mother had already left.
As for Qin Siting…
On the plane back to China, she thought that at least she still had Qin Siting’s.
The table next door was filled with laughter. Outside the window, there were more and more people in the glass windows of the dessert shop across the road. Her vision was slightly blurry and she could not see clearly.
“Do you have anyone by your side who can help you? After all, you’re still young and inexperienced. In the business world, especially in the Shida Group, there are many people who would open their bloody mouths at you. I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it and suppress those people.”
“There’s my parents’ assistant, Wen Ke, who has always been by my side. There are also a few more loyal ones. It’ll definitely be too late for me to go study at the last minute. I can only take over urgently while relying on them to teach me what to do,” Shi Niange said.
Auntie Bai sighed. “You haven’t even learned how to walk yet, and you’re already being forced to run. It’s really hard on you. If you had known this would happen, you wouldn’t have studied medicine back then.”
Shi Niange was silent for a long time. She did not speak for a long time. When Auntie Bai saw that she seemed to have suffered a huge blow and was about to comfort her, she said hoarsely, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.”
Auntie Bai was speechless. Nian Nian had always been a very lively and cheerful child. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but after experiencing this incident, she seemed to have suffered a huge blow. She was immersed in all sorts of pressure, feeling very desperate and sensitive, even blaming herself, and… suddenly feeling inferior…
What this child needed now was encouragement, not blame. Originally, there was nothing wrong with her. In life, she should pursue her dreams. Who would have thought that a calamity would suddenly fall from the sky.
After chatting with her for a while, Auntie Bai sent Shi Niange back to her room and watched her return to her room before leaving.
Shi Niange stood in the hotel room, opened the curtains, and looked at the night sky outside the window. It had only been a week, but she felt that she had not seen the night sky of Hai City for a long time.
After standing there for a long time, she suddenly remembered something and quickly took out her phone from her bag. However, she did not bring the charger with her. She called the hotel’s front desk and asked for a charger for a similar model phone.
After receiving the charger, she sat by the bed and plugged her phone in.
Then, she turned on her phone.
The missed calls would not be displayed without a call, but messages kept popping up.
The messages from before were all gone, but these days, Xiao Da had been keeping his battery-less phone with him. These missed messages all popped up.
Most of it was from Qin Siting.
He asked her where she was.
He asked her what was wrong.
He asked her why she suddenly disappeared.
He asked her what happened at home.
The last two messages were sent by him this afternoon.
He said that he had received news from the airport and had finally found the record of her passport returning to the country. He asked her why she had suddenly gone to the United States and asked her to contact him after her plane landed or give him a reply.
The last message he sent was: I’ve seen the flight time. There’s still an hour before the plane lands. Be careful.
This was a message sent four hours ago. It was also in the afternoon.
Was he patiently waiting for her to come back and explain the reason to him?
After liking him for so long, this was the first time she saw him send a message not long after. Before this, she didn’t know how much Xiao Da had deleted.
There were also some messages from her classmates and friends. They asked her where she had gone and why she had gone missing. They also said that Qin Siting was looking for her everywhere. In Zhao Xiaoqing’s message, she said that Qin Siting had returned from Japan four days ago and had been looking for her.
Shi Niange read the messages one by one.
Then she sat by the bed in a daze.
She took a deep breath and suddenly got up to walk to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, washed her face, and tried to look more energetic. Then she picked up the phone that had only been charged for a few minutes, opened the door, and walked out.
