Life With You

Sheng Qianyu's feelings for George Sheng were like suffering from PTSD - post-traumatic stress disorder.

Generally, people who suffer from this disease have experienced major accidents or physical and mental oppression, which they cannot let go for a long time, causing the same scene to play out repeatedly in their minds. This kind of pain will not change over time. If it is lost and forgotten, it will gradually become worse.

Sheng Qianyu's mind always revolves around the day on New Year's Eve when George Sheng refused her hug under the street light and said to her, I'm married, don't wait for me anymore. This image became a source of fear that kept her awake at night. She could wake up from a deep sleep for a second and then not dare move a finger for an hour or two.

He doesn't love her anymore. For Sheng Qianyu, this is a heart-wrenching disaster. When a person is in extreme pain, the body will activate instinctive protective measures. For example, she will recall and review the good times between the two over and over again. From acquaintance to falling in love, in the end we had no choice but to separate.

She can easily find ten thousand reasons to prove that he still loves her, not because she is stupid, but because she can survive by deceiving herself, otherwise she would not be able to accept this fact.

Just as Sheng Chenzhou called her and told her that George Sheng had made it very clear that he asked Sheng Zhengrong to remove him from the list of future sons-in-law and that he was already married.

When it reaches Sheng Qianyu's ears, she will filter it immediately because George Sheng misunderstood that she disclosed the information first, so she said such things in anger.

She began to frantically search for what had gone wrong. She had not betrayed George Sheng, and she would not reveal his whereabouts to anyone. Who was instigating the relationship between them behind the scenes?

Since returning to China, she and George Sheng have met only a handful of times. The most recent meeting... was at the Nandu Hotel. Before that, George Sheng had not said anything to reveal his movements, so it must be this meeting, and the third one. This person knew, and this person obviously did something to anger George Sheng, causing him to mistakenly think that she had leaked the news.

Sheng Qianyu could only push it so far. As for who that person was, she had no clue in the vast sea of ​​people, but she couldn't stand being misunderstood by George Sheng, so she stayed up all night and called George Sheng the next day. His number was never found. I changed it, but she couldn't get through.

When she heard Sorry, the number you dialed is not in the service area came from the mobile phone, in less than a second, sourness rushed to the tip of her nose, and tears filled Sheng Qianyu's already red bloodshot eyes again.

After hanging up the phone and calming down for ten minutes, she called up Yuanbao's phone number in the phone book and called him without hesitation.

A beeping connection sound came from the phone. After about four or five beeps, the other party answered: Hello?

Yuanbao, I'm Sheng Qianyu. Her voice was calm, hiding her inner panic well.

...Oh, what's the matter?

The two of them had not spoken on the phone in nearly four years, but no one exchanged pleasantries. Yuan Bao was always polite and distant.

Sheng Qianyu said: I'm looking for George Sheng. Please let him answer the phone.

Yuanbao said: I'm not with Brother Sheng.

Sheng Qianyu seemed to have guessed that he would say this. Whether it was true or not, she paused for a moment and said again: I have something to tell him clearly. You can convey it to me. He told me that I will tell others To reveal his movements, I guarantee my wealth and character, I have never done such a thing.

He wouldn't say such a thing out of nothing. You must know the reason. After that, before Yuanbao could say anything, Sheng Qianyu said first: Yuanbao, we have known each other for so many years, so you should give me a face. I didn't do it. You must find out who is putting this blame on me, just tell me who it is, and I will not make it difficult for you to do the rest.

Yuan Bao didn't care about Sheng Qianyu's oath. Things had already happened anyway. What he cared about was the result after Sheng Qianyu learned the truth.

After a moment's hesitation, Yuan Bao's voice, which could not tell the difference between joy and anger, came, On the day you and Brother Sheng met at the Nandu Hotel, Qi Cheng hired a private detective to secretly take photos of you.

If someone hadn't known about George Sheng's movements in advance, how could he have been discovered so easily?

Yuan Bao didn't point the finger directly at Sheng Qianyu, but Sheng Qianyu was not a fool. After pausing for a few seconds, he immediately replied: If I sold him, I would die badly.

Yuan Bao secretly thought, he is not George Sheng, it is useless to say such things to him.

I've said everything I can, and I have some things to do soon.

Sheng Qianyu said: Thank you, I will remember your love this time.

Yuan Bao said: You're welcome. We've known each other for so many years, and that's all we can do.

Sheng Qianyu almost immediately heard the implication of Yuanbao's words. He told her that the word Qi Cheng had used up all the years of friendship between the two of them. If she asked him for anything in the future, 80% of the time she would not be able to get through the phone.

Even though the people around George Sheng have ever-changing appearances, they are all carved out of the same mold as him. They are born with absolute love and hate. As good as they were when they were good in the past, they are so bad now when they are separated.

But after finding the answer from Yuan Bao, Sheng Qianyu's call was not in vain.

Qi Cheng...it turned out to be him!

Only Sheng Qianyu knew in her heart that she never told Qi Cheng that she wanted to see George Sheng, so it could only be that Qi Cheng sent people to follow her, so she took photos of George Sheng by the way.

Because of this kind of person, she was disliked and misunderstood by George Sheng. Thinking about Sheng Qianyu, she hated her to the core. Just when she wanted to confront Qi Cheng, he came to her door himself.

At a previous party, she was angry with George Sheng and gave her number to Qi Cheng. After that, he visited her every now and then, and she only called her once or twice out of ten times. This was all for the sake of the two families' face. No matter what, The Qi family is also among the top ten large companies in Night City, and Qi Cheng intends to get closer to the Sheng family.

Looking at the caller ID on the phone screen, Sheng Qianyu answered the call after a long while, holding back his disgust and saying hello.

Qi Cheng smiled and said, Miss Sheng, I didn't disturb you, did I?

Sheng Qianyu said lightly: No.

Qi Cheng said: The Ancient Music Society is performing in Night City recently. You just came back from England. I guess you would like to hear it. I have two tickets here for 8:30 tonight. I wonder if you have time?

Sheng Qianyu said: Forget it about the concert, I don't want to listen to it recently.

Qi Cheng sighed slightly and immediately said: It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. When you want to listen, I will accompany you to listen abroad.

Sheng Qianyu said, Let's have dinner together tonight. Do you have time?

Qi Cheng originally thought that Sheng Qianyu refused the concert and just didn't want to come out to meet. Unexpectedly, he quickly said: Of course, whatever cuisine you want to eat, I will book a hotel.

Just find any Cantonese restaurant.

Okay, then I'll book a place and let you know. See you in the evening.

Sheng Qianyu finished the phone call with disgust in her eyes. When she hung up, she lay down on the bed and had to recall the beautiful moments in her past to resist the crazy thoughts at this moment.
