He and her father, and the Huangfu Group, when did they become enemies? Was it for Mengyao?
After he married Mengyao, her parents didn't really approve of him as a son-in-law.
"I'm sorry, is there anything else I can do for you?" Song Jiaping said from behind her.
Mengqi turned around and retorted, "What are you sorry for? Do you know why the Aoxiang Group was slightly better than me in the project proposal?"
"I'm not clear about the specific progress of the project, I haven't followed up on this," Song Jiaping flatly denied.
Mengqi walked up to him, suddenly hooked his neck with both hands, and asked, "Do you like me at all? Even just a little bit."
Song Jiaping was slightly stunned and quickly pushed her away, "Have you been drinking again?"
Mengqi knew everything in her heart, and said with a smile, "Just kidding. To avoid suspicion, I won't meet you alone again. You'd better take care of yourself. I won't tolerate such a thing a second time."
Song Jiaping felt relieved at first, but then he understood the hidden meaning in her words.
What exactly did she know? Was she saying that she would let him off this time, but would settle old and new scores next time.
This made him uneasy, but he couldn't ask her anything, so he said, "I know. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now."
Mengqi waved goodbye to him, not keeping him any longer.
She knew that he had someone in his heart, and that person was none other than her sister Mengyao. There was no room for her.
But her curiosity from the beginning had unknowingly developed into an inappropriate affection.
This was only on her side, and it would not have any results, but she finally understood what it felt like to fall in love with someone.
Looking at his departing back, she had decided to marry Yao Feili.
Just as she had told Shaohua before, for her, if she had to get married, it didn't matter who she married. Why not choose a husband who was capable and could mutually support her.
As for love, it wasn't that important.
...
Song Jiaping returned home, still feeling guilty.
He hadn't expected that his attempt to retaliate against Huangfu Sisong would lead to Huangfu Mengqi having to marry someone she didn't like.
He originally had the opportunity to get involved in a major project, and knowing that Aoxiang Group was a competitor of Huangfu Group, he saw an opportunity to retaliate against Huangfu Sisong.
But he never imagined that this project was related to Mengqi's marriage.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Every time he implemented a revenge plan, he would hurt innocent people, but he wouldn't affect Huangfu Sisong at all.
He took out the wine from the refrigerator, wanting to get himself drunk, and couldn't help but think of Mengyao again.
He wondered if she was feeling better after finding a new job.
Whenever it was quiet at night, he would miss the days they spent abroad.
At that time, although they were tired every day, and even faced the risk of losing their lives at any moment, their hearts were pure, solely dedicated to saving lives and healing the injured, doing their best.
Instead, their lives were happy and simple...
...
Xiao Anjing thought he had secured the deal for Yao Feili's project and was just waiting for the final signing.
But early in the morning, he received a call from Yao Feili's assistant, saying that unfortunately, they had chosen to cooperate with the Huangfu Group.
An Jing asked the assistant why this was the case, and the other party just said that he didn't know either, and it was all according to the boss's arrangement.
He immediately called Yao Feili's mobile phone, but no one answered. It seemed that Yao Feili didn't even want to give him an explanation.
This made him angry. He couldn't understand how such a mistake had occurred. The only explanation was that the person who provided them with the Huangfu Group's project proposal was problematic.
That project proposal was probably not real, so the terms they offered couldn't satisfy Yao Feili, and it was likely very different from the Huangfu Group's project proposal.
In a fit of anger, he opened his computer and deleted all the emails that person had sent him, knowing that such people were unreliable.
...
Two days passed, and Daisy still had no news from Huangfu Shaohua.
She couldn't just wait at home. She didn't have classes during the day, so she went to the boxing club.
Only by hitting the sandbag desperately could she stop herself from thinking too much.
She was sweating profusely, punching the sandbag repeatedly until she collapsed on the ground, exhausted, wanting to cry but unable to.
After getting up, she remembered that her phone was still in her bag in the locker, and she wondered if Susu had found anything.
She took off her boxing gloves, went to the locker room, opened the locker, and took out her phone from her bag. As expected, there were missed calls and several text messages.
The call was from Susu. Since she hadn't answered, Susu had sent her text messages.
She quickly read the text messages. It turned out that Sheng Zhuzhu had stayed in a private hospital for the past two days.
Qin Tianyi found out that Huangfu Shaohua had visited that private hospital, presumably to see Sheng Zhuzhu.
However, he only found out that he had visited the hospital. As for where he went afterward and what he did, it was all untraceable.
In other words, Huangfu Shaohua disappeared after visiting that hospital. Huangfu Shaohua's disappearance should be related to Sheng Zhuzhu.
Daisy immediately called Susu back, and the other party answered quickly.
"Daisy, did you see the message I sent you?"
"I saw it." Daisy didn't want to wait any longer and asked, "Susu, does Mr. Qin know where Sheng Zhuzhu is now, or the Sheng family's address? I want to find them and make them tell me where Shaohua is!"
"Don't get agitated. It's useless for you to rashly look for Sheng Zhuzhu. No one knows what happened to Huangfu Shaohua or where he went after visiting the hospital. It's related to the Sheng family, but that's just my guess," Susu comforted her. "Wait a little longer. Tianyi has sent people to keep an eye on the Sheng family. If they find any trace of Huangfu Shaohua, I'll notify you immediately."
"Susu, I can't wait. Do you know how much I'm suffering? Will something happen to him? Is he okay..." Daisy felt like she was about to break down.
Susu said, "At least it proves he didn't lie to you. He went to the hospital to see Sheng Zhuzhu at that time. Don't worry too much. Tianyi said that if the Sheng family really did something unfavorable to Huangfu Shaohua, they wouldn't harm him. They want Huangfu Shaohua as their son-in-law, so he should be fine, he just can't contact you."
Hearing her say that, Daisy felt a little better.
"I feel so useless. When something happens to him, I can't do anything but wait."
"Don't think like that. You must be well and wait for Huangfu Shaohua to return," Susu said. "If the Sheng family is holding him captive, they can't keep him forever. Tianyi will find a way to find him."
"Thank you and Mr. Qin this time. I don't know what I would do without you," Daisy said gratefully.
"Why are you being so polite with us? You've risked your life several times to protect me. Helping you with this small matter is nothing. Take care of yourself."
"Okay, I will."
