The villa was dark and lifeless. No one came back. The black, carved flower door had also been quiet for the night.
There was only one lamp in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Under the dim light, no one spoke. There was a moment of silence.
The whole world seemed to be quiet. Only a white cat jumped out of the tall wall of the opposite villa. From time to time, it meowed softly under the night sky.
Mo Jingshen had one hand in his pocket. His quiet, low, and cold voice appeared especially clear in the dim light. “She’s back, yet you’re avoiding her. Tonight, it’s clear that you want to continue being strangers. Why are you still standing here? She has not come back. Do you plan to stand here and wait until she does?”
Furthermore, it was clear that they had only begun to tidy up.
Qin Siting, who had been meditating for a long time, finally made a move. However, he only turned to look at him. It was as though the suppressed peace of the night had finally been broken. Qin Siting’s brows were filled with coldness. “Do you think I’m the type to stand here and guard until dawn for such a woman?”
Mo Jingshen coldly said, “This villa of hers has been vacant for as long as you have been staying here. You’ve been looking at this empty villa for so long. Now that the person who finally left has returned, I’m afraid she still doesn’t know that you’re still living opposite her. How long have you been standing here every day and night? Don’t you have any idea?”
Qin Siting: “…”
He abruptly turned to the sofa, picking up the cigarette Nanheng had thrown on the coffee table and lighting it up. After taking a few puffs to calm himself down, he said coldly, “The decision to move here was made a few years ago when I was still ignorant and immersed in the entanglement of love and hatred. I’ve long lost all feelings for her. I am just used to living here, and I am too lazy to change places.”
Nanheng sneered as he breathed in the smoke. “Are you young and ignorant, or have you f*cking had thoughts about such a woman in your twenty-plus years of life? Even now, those women chasing after you think that you’re not interested in women. Who would have known that your innocent young man’s heart had already been crushed by a woman and is still incomplete?”
Qin Siting was expressionless. “The two of you came here in the middle of the night to ridicule my stupid past?”
Li Nanheng smiled. “I do have that intention. I just didn’t know why he would come so late. I think he was kicked off the bed by Ji Nuan, but he refuses to admit it.”
Li Nanheng looked at Mo Jingshen as he spoke.
Mo Jingshen indifferently said, “I couldn’t sleep. I came to see how unhappy Old Qin is. If he says he is, I might be happy.”
Qin Siting: “…”
“Can’t sleep?” Qin Siting sneered. He only took a few puffs before stubbing out his cigarette. “If you can’t sleep, why are the two of you here to watch me?”
Nanheng chuckled with a cigarette in his mouth.
Mo Jingshen coldly and indifferently raised his brows.
…
The next day. Hai City Central Hospital.
“Doctor Qin, you’re finally here. Oh my god!”
Qin Siting had yet to arrive at his consulting room. When the nurses outside saw him, they rushed over as though they had seen their savior. “It’s the woman Doctor Zhou brought back last night. She waited for you for the entire night…”
Qin Siting walked to his clinic without looking back. The young nurse quickly followed him. “I’ve never seen such a difficult person. She kept asking when Doctor Qin would come. Doctor Zhou already said that you wouldn’t come, but she kept waiting.”
“And then?” Qin Siting asked indifferently.
“Then? Then she waited until this morning. When the sun rose, she asked at what time you would come to work. Doctor Zhou lied and said that you were on leave today and would not be in the hospital for three days. She then left.”
“En.” Qin Siting pushed open the clinic door and went in.
The young nurses looked at each other and whispered, “Thankfully, we chased her away. Doctor Qin is really not interested in women. He’s so beautiful, but he can’t even be bothered to take a look at them. He even handed her over to Doctor Zhou. He didn’t say anything about coming over to take a look.”
“Did she say last night that she used to be his fiancée?”
“You’re talking about the past. The Qin family is such a big family. It doesn’t matter if they have an ex-fiancée…”
“But I’ve never heard of it. Can you believe what that woman said? Doctor Qin is usually very far away from women, okay? Even she said it was in the past. We don’t even know if she is telling the truth or not. Anyway, Doctor Qin is not interested in her. Just looking at her crying and whining makes us annoyed, let alone Doctor Qin.”
…
“The company has already been renovated. It’s not bad. Back then, this building had a modern design. After renovation, it’s even better.” Wen Ke knocked on the door and walked into the office. “After the Human Resources Department moved the office, they started looking for trouble again. This is the new list they sent. I’ve investigated a few of them. They should be the family members of the people in charge of the Human Resources Department. I’ve drawn a circle on those names. Look at these people’s resumes. It’s really tragic.”
Shi Niange took the name list and took a look at it. She then flipped through the resumes. “After returning to the country, there have been some changes to the human resources management in the country. Are they trying to take advantage of the fact that I’m busy and can’t manage these things? Are they trying to cover the sky with their hands in the mobilization of people?”
“In foreign countries, it’s not uncommon for people to enter the company through various kinds of connections. In China, it’s even more so…” Wen Ke sighed.” But there are a few of them that are really difficult to reject. These people are connected to the families of several directors. ”
Shi Niange raised her pen and drew a few names on it.
Wen Ke saw the name she had crossed off and frowned. “I understand what you mean, but these two are really difficult to deal with. The directors haven’t been able to do anything to you for the past few years, but you can’t fall out with them to directly. They’re already angry enough about the company’s transfer back to China. Right now, I think it’s better not to… be too aggressive.”
Shi Niange did not speak.
“CEO Shi.” Wen Ke saw that she seemed to have something on her mind and lowered his voice to say, “You’ve been doing very well in the past few years. In the beginning, when you faced those directors, you weren’t too humble. You were very stubborn. As a little girl supporting such a big company, you gradually began to do things smoothly and see through those directors’ thoughts. Really, in my eyes, you’ve grown up and become more mature in the past four years. I don’t know what other thoughts you have after returning to the country, but I think you should be more dependable. There are many things in the country that I think are more complicated than when you were in Los Angeles.”
“For example?” Shi Niange raised her eyes and looked at him calmly.
Wen Ke thought for a moment and said, “With the current status of the Shida Group, the forces behind several big directors in the country may not be able to resist the Xiao Family fully. You refused the Xiao Family’s help back then, and now you have no one to rely on but your Aunt Bai. If you don’t lower your head now, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to achieve the smooth, bloody path in the country.”
