101 Here She Comes to Comfort the Heartbroken Brother
Sang Qianqian’s emotions were very complicated upon visiting Yushan Island again after five years.
She still remembered that during the first time she came here, Yushan Island was about to open for business. At that time, the relationship between the Sang and Shen family had improved.
However, a car accident that night changed the Shen family’s fate. The fate of the Sang family was also changed.
After that, things got out of hand. The relationship between the two families was getting worse, and the Sang family’s situation was inching closer to what happened in Sang Qianqian’s nightmare.
The second time she came to Yushan Island was when Han Shangrong had kidnapped her. She spent 14 days alone in a hotel room inspected by many bodyguards.
Sang Qianqian didn’t have many good memories in this place.
Fortunately, all the facilities and scenic spots on Yushan Island had been rebuilt, so it was very different compared to five years ago. In fact, It was as if the island had become a completely different place.
Due to this, Sang Qianqian wasn’t overly bothered by those bad memories.
Rong Yan’s birthday party was very lively. That day, she said it was her birthday party, but Rong Yi was also born on the same day, so today was also Rong Yi’s birthday party.
The hotel’s large top-floor bar was filled with people.
Other than the Rong family’s relatives and friends, most of them were Rong Yan and Rong Yi’s classmates and friends.
Young people of similar ages gathered together, laughing and chatting. They played all kinds of games without feeling tired at all.
Sang Qianqian suddenly thought of her 18th birthday five years ago. Sang Pengcheng had wanted to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for his daughter. Countless guests had come, and it was even more lively than this birthday party.
The thought made Sang Qianqian feel a little sad and emotional.
If she hadn’t taken Wen Xu out for a spin on her birthday, met Shen Hanyu, and fell in love with him at first sight.
If that hadn’t happened, the Sang family might still be the glorious Sang family in Ming City, and she would still be the Sang family’s Young Miss who was doted on in a jar of honey and didn’t know what the suffering and sorrow of the world were.
She had once chosen to study medicine because her father wanted her to. At that time, the Sang family’s Hongyuan group had a medical-related business branch, and Sang Pengcheng had intentions of handing this field over to Sang Qianqian in the future.
If she hadn’t known Shen Hanyu, perhaps she wouldn’t have had that nightmare and many things wouldn’t have happened.
Her life and fate would follow the path that her father set for her, and she would move forward step-by-step.
Unfortunately, many things were unpredictable.
The Sang family had given up their former foundation and she had faked her death to leave Ming City. Her perception had changed dramatically. She seemed to have fallen from the clouds to the ground and began to seriously think about her future.
Later on, she really developed a strong interest in medicine. Despite her father and brother’s dissuasion, she insisted on becoming a doctor. As a result, she entered a different circle and world that was completely different from the past.
It was hard to tell which life was better. No matter which option she chose, there seemed to be a flaw in each one.
However, there is no such thing as a life without regrets.
She liked her current career, and her father and brother had made a lot of achievements in the medical field. Most importantly, the tragedy in the nightmare didn’t happen. Their family was still safe and sound.
Perhaps this was enough.
Sang Qianqian was deep in thought as she quietly went downstairs and strolled to the beach. The beach was quiet at night and the sea breeze was cool.
She sat on a bench and enjoyed the sea breeze for a while. Then, she got up and walked slowly along the coastline.
In the night not far away, someone was sitting alone, drinking beer. There were many empty beer cans beside him. It seemed that this person also had something in his mind.
Sang Qianqian stopped in her tracks and didn’t walk forward. She turned around to return to the hotel, but after taking two steps, she felt that something wasn’t right.
That figure was a little familiar. He kind of looked like… Rong Yi?
She quickly walked over as the young man, who was already a little tipsy, looked up. When he saw that it was Sang Qianqian, he was stunned.
“It’s really you.”
Sang Qianqian was a little speechless. “Why are you drinking by the beach alone at this time?”
Rong Yi turned his head and said in a muffled voice, “Didn’t you also sneak out?”
“I’m different from you. Today is Rong Yan’s birthday, and it’s also your birthday. You’re one of the stars of the birthday party.”
Sang Qianqian said, “I just heard from Rong Yan that your brother will be coming over later after he’s done with work at the company, so you had better go back. Otherwise, your brother will be worried if he can’t find you.”
Rong Yi didn’t move or say anything.
“Then, if you don’t want to leave, I’ll leave first?” Sang Qianqian was planning to get Rong Yan to call him back.
“Sang Qianqian.”
Rong Yi looked at Sang Qianqian, who was about to leave, and suddenly said, “Do you know that this is the first time I’ve liked someone in my life? This is the first time I’ve seriously wanted to pursue someone.”
His voice was hoarse and full of bitterness. “But you’re someone I can’t like or pursue.”
Sang Qianqian sighed slightly. “Rong Yi, you’re still very young. In the future, you’ll meet many different people. Who knows, you might even meet a girl you really like.”
“I don’t care about the future; I only want the present.”
Rong Yi crumpled the beer can in his hand, and his eyes were slightly red. “But I can’t even afford it now.”
In terms of age, strength, and methods, he was no match for Shen Hanyu. Rong Yi wasn’t competitive at all.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave with dignity, but he really couldn’t accept some things.
Sang Qianqian was silent. She could understand Rong Yi’s feelings at the moment, as she had also experienced similar depression and frustration when she was his age.
“Rong Yi, actually, when I was your age, I also liked someone.”
Sang Qianqian said softly, “I even mustered up the courage to confess to him. Unfortunately, he rejected me in front of everyone. I cried for the entire afternoon, and my eyes were all swollen.”
Rong Yi was stunned. A girl like Sang Qianqian had liked someone, and even confessed to them?
“Was it… Shen Hanyu?”
He remembered that in the information Rong Yan had gathered about Sang Qianqian, it was mentioned that she had suddenly transferred from an international school to an ordinary high school. Shen Hanyu seemed to be in that high school.
Sang Qianqian nodded. “At that time, the sadness in my heart was no less than yours. But later, I found out that Shen Hanyu was someone I shouldn’t have liked, so I gave up. Look at me now, aren’t I living well too? Even now, when facing him, I can still remain calm and composed.”
Rong Yi’s expression was complicated. “But you know that Shen Hanyu has been teasing you.”
“I know. But many things have passed, and things are different now.”
Sang Qianqian said seriously, “Rong Yi, do you still remember that time when you brought me and Rong Yan to that resort? We had a great time that day. I treated you and Rong Yan as my younger brother and sister, and even more so, I treated you as friends. I hope that we can get along with each other like we did at that time; casual, natural, and happy.”
They would always be friends.
Rong Yi was silent for a while and didn’t speak.
After a while, he spoke in a very low voice, “I’ll do my best.”
“That’s good.” Sang Qianqian was pleased. “Then let’s hurry back. It’s getting late…”
Her voice stopped abruptly.
In the dark night, Shen Hanyu’s tall and cold figure stood silently not far away. She had no idea how long he had been standing there and how much he had heard of the conversation between her and Rong Yi.
