Chapter 19
Chapter 19 Lonely Nights
Qi Zeming logged in the mobile game, to find Li Qianluo stand in front of the Auction House. Wondering what she was doing, he asked:
"Luoluo, what are you doing?"
Li Qianluo ignored the prompted message from Qi Zeming, and sold all the stuff at a low price.
She then listed her account on a trading platform to sell it.
After disposing of all these, Li Qianluo deleted the game and went to sleep after checking Weibo news for a while.
At noon when Mrs. Du came upstairs to call her for lunch, she did not wake up.
After 2:00 p.m., Li Qianluo got really enough sleep and her cramps got better. So she got up.
When seeing Li Qianluo get up, Mrs. Du quickly heated up the dishes and rice and also stewed chicken soup for her.
After lunch, Li Qianluo went upstairs for changing and went out after saying goodbye to Mrs. Du.
She drove her Maserati to a flower shop and bought bunches of white chrysanthemums and carnations.
In a graveyard.
Li Qianluo parked the car at the gate of the graveyard and walked in with the flowers in her arms. Her grandmother's tomb is far from her mother's, so Li Qianluo visited the former first.
Inscribed on the tombstone is her grandmother's name, together with an old photo of her grandmother with a smiling face. She put the bunch of white chrysanthemums gently in front of the tomb and crouched down to stroke the smiling face in the photo.
"Grandma, you passed away suddenly and father left, too. I hate you. Why do you leave me alone?" Tears gradually blurred her eyes. "Grandma, why doesn't father come to find me? Is it just because I am not his biological daughter? I miss you so much..."
Thinking of the happiness before, Li Qianluo burst into a sob quietly, crouching close to the ground, for she will never retrieve the lost happiness. These are all because of them!
Qi Yunzhong and Qi Zeming, you have ruined my family. Heaven will not tolerate it, if I do not take vengeance on you!
She walked to her mother's tomb weakly and presented her mother's favorite carnations in front of the tomb. "Mother, forgive me for not visiting you for a long time...Our family is suffering from such a disaster, which you have seen, too. Thank you, mother. Thank you and father for loving and taking care of me. I am fine now...Don't worry and wish me to find father soon. OK?"
A gust of cold wind blew to sway the carnations...
A man in a suit and leather shoes gazed at her at a short distance. Isn't she the woman in a down jacket at the mall gate yesterday?
She seemed really sad, with her white long dress blowing in the wind. Helian Yutuo, who also came here to visit his deceased senior, felt for the first time that the world was really small.
Coming out from the graveyard, Li Qianluo mitigated her sorrow for a while, bending over the steering wheel.
Why are Qi Yunzhong and his son still thriving in this city? Why did they enjoy a meteoric rise at the sacrifice of her father and family? Si Jinheng promised her to revenge her, but she could not wait.
It was getting dark with evening lights lit. Li Qianluo drove her car aimlessly across this prosperous city.
In SOHO Bar.
Not knowing how she got here, Li Qianluo decided to get out for relaxation. But she must call Lu Zixi first, or a woman like her could not predict what she would face in such a place sometimes.
She ordered a cup of soft drink, sitting on the same seat to wait for Lu Zixi. It seemed very lively here that day. Besides Qi Zeming, she also saw the man called Ao Bai, who was summoned by Si Jinheng last time.
It was obvious that Ao Bai had seen her, too. He was walking towards her with a gang of minions.
Looking at the cock-a-hoop Qi Zeming, she came up with an idea.
"Hi, madam, you are alone today!" A gossip said that boss was already married. Can it be this woman?
"Hmm, what a coincidence. I happen to need your help." Li Qianluo greeted him gracefully.
"Whatever you need, just let me know." Ao Bai sat askew on the sofa opposite to her, crossing his legs.
"Give me some..." Moving close, Li Qianluo said what she wanted to him.
"Cough..." Ao Bai, who is normally calm, was scared by what Li Qianluo said.
"Did I hear you right?" He stuck a finger in his ear exaggeratively to check if he heard it wrong.
"Yes." She smiled innocuously, as if those words didn't come out of her mouth.
"...For what do you want these?" Ao Bai was quite curious. Why does this girl, weak in appearance, need these things?
"For use, of course! All the expenses will be paid by Si Jinheng!" She does not care whether Si Jinheng will throttle her, if he knows this. She simply can't wait.
"This is not a problem of money..."
"Can't you be more decisive? If you can't get these, I won't force you." Li Qianluo was very anxious, for fear he went away, leaving her just one step short of success.
Ao Bai waved his hand at the minions behind him. Two or three minutes later, all needed were ready.
"Thanks! I will put in a good word for you with Si Jinheng!"
Ao Bai thought it over and decided to let it go. Letting a woman praise another man in front of her man... Isn't he courting death? Especially her man is Si Jinheng. He couldn't even imagine it.
However, Li Qianluo had left the seat and disappeared. Ao Bai thought it was necessary to report to Si Jinheng by phone...
Li Qianluo ordered a glass of cocktail. Swirling the coocktail around in her glass, she thought of what she would do next and showed some hostility in her eyes.
Li Qianluo changed to a piteous face about two meters away from Qi Zeming.
"Zeming..." Hearing a familiar call by accident, he thought he was under delusion.
Looking back, he really saw Li Qianluo standing behind him. It was from her beyond doubt.
"Luoluo!"
"This is not what you should call, jerk!" Li Qianluo thought.
"Zeming, are you busy now?" Li Qianluo glanced at the people around him, who were different from those last time. But judged from what they were dressed, they seemed all from wealthy families.
Excuse her for being extremely blind, for she did not find Qi Zeming so dirty without attending to his proper duties! She came here twice and each time she met him. It is thus clear how frequent this playboy comes here!
"No. not at all. What's wrong, Luoluo?" Qi Zeming promptly went over and pulled her aside.
"Zeming..." Li Qianluo swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue, which in the eyes of Qi Zeming turned out to be rather attractive.
"Alas! I...I want to come back to you. Can I?" She lowered her head somewhat bashfully, with hatred in her eyes.
Qi Zeming immediately became dizzy with surprise. If this beauty is obedient to him, he could give all to her except for spousal relationship.
Wait a minute! "Don't you have a husband?"
"Gosh! My husband... often stays out all night, leaving me alone..." Sorry, Si Jinheng! Seeing how delicate and touching she is, Qi Zeming laughed, feeling pleased with himself.
"I see. Let's go to a private place. I will comfort you." Depicting Li Qianluo's lithe and graceful stature as well as her soft and sweet-scented lips, Qi Zeming was too impatient to wait.
