Chapter 127: What to Do When You've Lost Someone?

  "And if I'm not mistaken, Autumn Cold's original intention was just to invite a few classmates to have some drinks and sing songs for a simple birthday celebration. But Ji Wei Liang invited a group of people who don't get along with those students at all - do you think that after tonight, the students who were humiliated by your daughter and her friends will still consider Autumn Cold as a friend? Or will they even consider her as a true friend?"

  "Why did Ji William do this? He wanted to isolate your daughter at school, make her have no friends, and only get closer to him. In this way, he can achieve the purpose of directly controlling your daughter and indirectly controlling you."

  "Most importantly, men who are too good-looking are usually promiscuous. How about Ji William? From a man's perspective, I have to admit that he looks very good. He already looks so dangerous with his deep background and inherited the vast wealth of your Qiu family... such a man is even more precious than the legendary Tang Monk meat, how many female demons will be attracted to him?"

  "If he were a man who was determined to love one person and be faithful, but instead I saw him flirting with another woman at the door of the private room... With Autumn Cold's intelligence and abilities, do you think she can win against the second wife or fight against the mistress? By choosing Ji William, aren't you pushing your own daughter into the fire pit? In the end, who gets hurt is still Autumn Cold?"

  Qiu Hongtu couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "It's ungentlemanly to speak ill of others behind their backs. Isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate?"

  "I'm not even planning to be your live-in son-in-law, do I care if I'm a gentleman or not?" Tang Zhong said nonchalantly. "Besides, would you agree to marry your daughter to me just because I'm a gentleman?"

  "After all, we're just meeting each other for once, and you'll be giving me a big check soon. I'm just saying some things that come to mind - no need for you to believe them necessarily. This is just a reference data point. If you think it's worthless, just laugh it off."

  "Then I should thank you," said Qiuhongtu with a smile.

  "It doesn't matter," Tang Chong said. He looked at Qiu Hongtu's face and said, "Actually, I think if Mr. Qiu were to choose a son-in-law, he should just choose according to his own standards..."

  "Qiu Hongtu almost pounced on him and fought three hundred rounds if he wasn't so proud of his status."

  You just said that good-looking men are unreliable, and now you're saying choose according to my standards ---- what do you mean? Am I that ugly?

  Tang Chong turned around and glanced at the wall clock above the fireplace in the villa, smiling and saying: "It's getting late, and it's not convenient to disturb Mr. Qiu's rest-----you give me a check, and that's one thing off your mind. The rain is drizzling, just right for sleeping. I think Mr. Qiu will definitely sleep well tonight."

  Qiu Hong looked at Tang Chong with sharp eyes and said, "Are you sure you want a check? You should be clear that when the day comes for me to return it, it will necessarily be ten or a hundred times more."

  Tang shook his hand and said: "If you really can't bear it in your heart, you can also write a larger amount on the check."

  Qiu Hongtu was still staring at Tang Chong with piercing eyes, and Tang Chong met his gaze fearlessly.

  After a long while, Autumn Hongtu let out a soft sigh and said: "I know, you want to completely cut ties with me and the Autumn family, no longer having any entanglements ----- last time it was us who wronged you, this time, it's still us who wronged you."

  He stood up, walked over to the coat rack, picked up a pen and checkbook, and then scribbled down a row of numbers.

  He tore off the check and walked in front of Tang Chong, saying: "I hope to make up for some of our apologies."

  Tang Chong took a glance at the amount on the check, narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying: "The compensation is quite generous. I just did one job as a bodyguard, and I can get such a high reward ----- Mr. Qiu is indeed a generous person."

  He stood up and said, "I won't disturb you anymore."

  "I'll have someone send you back," said Qiuhongtu.

  "No need." Tang Chong refused. "Now we're even. You had someone send me here, that's what I owed you. That's it. I still have money for a taxi ride."

  When Tang Chong said this, Qiu Hongtu also stopped forcing it.

  Tang Chong had just walked into the courtyard when a loud "boom" shook the sky, illuminating the entire horizon.

  Lightning flashed and thunder boomed, then a heavy rain poured down like a deluge.

  Tang Chong rejected their black umbrella and rushed head-on into the rain.

  Innumerable raindrops pattered against his cheeks and body, as if a thousand swords pierced through his heart.

  *sigh*

  Qiu Hongtu stood by the window, watching Tang Chong leave with a resolute expression and let out a soft sigh.

  "Is he gone?" A beautiful woman walked up to Qiu Hongtu and asked softly.

  This is a middle-aged beautiful woman, she is the mother of Qiu Yihan. Qiu Yihan inherited the advantages of her father Qiu Hongtu and her mother Zhang Yun, so she grew up to be so beautiful.

  "He's gone," said Qiuhongtu.

  "Why don't you let the car take us there?"

  "He refused," replied Qiuhongtu. "He said that now everyone is clear about the situation. If someone sends it, then he owes us."

  "I heard what you said. How could he say that about William?" Zhang Yun said reproachfully. "It's the first time I've seen someone speak ill of others behind their back with such a straight face."

  "He didn't say so, am I supposed to know what kind of person Ji William is?" Qiu Hongtu sneered. "Doesn't he have enough women already?"

  "You men, don't you all have a few romantic interests? As long as he treats us sincerely, that's all that matters." Zhang Yun helped to explain and saw her husband's cold face, then smiled and said: "You're not really moved by what he said, are you?"

  "That's not necessarily true," said Qiuhongtu. "However, Ji Weilian is indeed not a good match for Yili."

  "Alas." Zhang Yun also let out a sigh of relief. "It's really worrying about her life after the divorce. We were too busy with work before and neglected her education. My mom was too doting on her, resulting in her current state..."

  "So I invited that little guy over for a meeting."

  "So he'll hate us?"

  "To make him estranged and cold." Qiu Hongtu said. "If Yichen happens to fall in love with him, that would be even better."

  "What do you want to do?" Zhang Yun asked cautiously.

  "What shortcut can make a girl grow up faster than getting hurt emotionally?" Qiu Hongtu's fingers gently tapped on the windowsill, saying with a deep gaze.

  One autumn rain brings one autumn chill. Autumn wind and autumn rain make people melancholy.

  It started raining from the day of Autumn's birthday and continued for seven days with gloomy weather.

  The rain was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, occasionally clearing up for a while before being covered by dark clouds again.

  The autumn chill is growing, and the rain hitting my body feels like icy water. According to the weather forecast, this year's winter in Mingzhu will arrive earlier than usual.

  Chun Guang Road. Ming Zhu Pedestrian Street.

  Several girls were sitting at a KFC on the street, drinking hot beverages and eating snacks. All the other girls were chatting happily, but the prettiest girl was staring blankly at her food.

  The upper body is a white, long-sleeved sweater with pom-poms on top, blue jeans, brown leather boots, and long hair tied back with a silk scarf, revealing a slender neck and beautifully curved cheeks.

  Because the girl was too beautiful, many young boys couldn't help but glance over intentionally or unintentionally, and some even took out their phones to secretly take pictures.

  But girls all seem oblivious, and don't know what they're thinking about.

  "Hey." Hong Huan pinched the pale and chilly face of Autumn, saying: "Autumn, what are you thinking about? You look like your mind is elsewhere. We've finished our pizza, but you haven't even taken a bite - if you don't eat it soon, it'll get cold."

  The chill of autumn suddenly woke her up, she looked at the hot ham pizza in front of her which was no longer steaming and pushed it to Luohuan, saying: "I don't want to eat. You guys eat."

  Cheng Pei, who was sitting next to her, leaned his head in front of Qiu Yihan and asked in a suspicious tone: "What's wrong? Since your birthday, you've been like this - what are you thinking about? Are you still unhappy with the birthday party that day and still sulking at someone?"

  "Is that not enough?" Hana said with a smile, her tone not without envy. "Gi William... is that his name? Tsk tsk, if I had a boyfriend like that, it would be worth dying for. He's handsome, rich, considerate, and treats me so well... Yichen, you're not thinking of rejecting Gi William, are you? Does that even need to be thought about? Of course, I'd accept him."

  Her pale face turned even paler as she said, "No, I---"

  "What's wrong?" Luo Huan asked.

  "The words 'I...' were on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't bring myself to say them."

  She kept thinking of Tang Zhong's expression when he left. He nodded and smiled at her as usual, but why did she feel so uncomfortable?

  She called Tang Chong, and he still spoke to her in the same tone as before, patiently explaining every question of his own. But why did she feel that they were getting farther and farther away?

  "Never mind." Hona took a glance at the sky and said, "Let's go for another stroll. Then head back to school. It's really getting colder and colder now."

  Autumn's chill summons the waiter to settle the bill. This kind of thing is usually done by her.

  "It's cold, what do you think of this hair clip?"

  "Hmm, these glasses aren't bad - I'll try them on"

  "This painting suits Yihan, Yihan's eyes are big... huh, where is Yihan?"

  Hanna and her companions looked back, only to find that Qiuyi Han had vanished from their sight.

  Autumn's chill, she walked alone in the crowd. She had already parted ways with her roommate, but she hadn't noticed it yet.

  She looked around, as if searching for something, but every face she saw was a blurry and unfamiliar one.

  Through the transparent umbrella, looking at the crowd in the rain curtain, she suddenly missed someone more than usual.

  Her shoelaces came undone, she can retie them. Her clothes got dirty, she has long learned to wash them by hand. If someone gets lost, what should they do?

  She crouched on the spot, silently sobbing!
