Chapter 89 Part 2: For the sake of taking care of one person, Qing Heng suddenly pushed all his chips out in an instant.
In the morning, 7 o'clock.
Ning Qing was woken up by Su Mei's phone call. Su Mei gave her a half-day off, letting her not go back to the company in the morning, and before 4 pm, directly head to the golf course in the East District to meet up with them.
Also met with Huo Zhe.
Ning Qing should have yielded, but unfortunately, Huo Zhen would definitely make things difficult for her again.
End call.
Ning Qing stared at her phone for a while, feeling uneasy and unable to fall back asleep. She got out of bed and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Last night's mood was too bad, she didn't take a shower, changed into pajamas and lay down directly. Now, there is still a hint of alcohol on her body, not a pleasant smell.
One hour.
After washing up and taking a bath, she felt refreshed. Her mind was much clearer than last night. She sat on the bed, her long hair still damp, too lazy to use a hair dryer, picked up her phone and hesitated.
Heart and mind, in transformation.
I've thought about apologizing. But an apology is for salvage. There's nothing to salvage between her and Gu Qingheng.
Put down the phone, plug in the charger, change clothes, go out and downstairs, buy two breakfasts, go to the pharmacy on the way, and buy a pack of gauze. When I got home, I saw that Yan Zi had gotten up and was curling her hair in the living room, preparing to go to work.
"Eat breakfast first." Nian Qing brought over a bowl of fried dough sticks and soy milk, placing it in front of Yan Zi.
"So idle, aren't you going to work later?" Yanzi raised an eyebrow and asked, holding a fried dough stick in her hand.
"En, Su Mei gave me half a day off, I'll go out and entertain in the afternoon." Nian Qing sat beside her, unwrapping the gauze and rewrapping it.
Yan Zi saw it and worriedly asked: "Is your hand injury very serious?"
Ning Qing curved her lips and shook her head: "It's not serious, but I need to bandage it more seriously."
Yan Zi nodded while eating his fried dough stick, understanding. Having an injury on him, even if he was a personal bodyguard, he wouldn't dare to be too excessive: "What happened last night, did Huo Zhe raise his hand against you?"
"No, I accidentally twisted it myself." Nian Qing didn't explain the cause of the matter. It was Lu Chuan. Yan Zi disliked Lu Chuan, and she had to listen to his nagging whenever he spoke up.
"You're really unlucky. This afternoon, you still have to see Huo Zhi... How about finding Gu Qingheng instead?" Yanzi was worried, she saw the state of Ningqing last night and knew that something must have happened, but Ningqing's personality was too stubborn, he wouldn't easily reveal it.
If Gu Qingheng were in...
Qing smiled and said, "No need to look for him, I scolded him fiercely last night."
Yan Zi's face changed, and she stared at Nian Qing with wide eyes - was she crazy, daring to scold Gu Qingheng?!
She's about to go to work, no time for idle chatter and lecturing, she grabs her bag, picks up a cup of soy milk, and rushes out the door, planning to have a good talk with Nian Qing after work tonight.
Nian Qing's thoughts are more mature than those of her peers, she thinks a lot, is used to protecting herself, often restrains herself, afraid of going astray, always being cautious.
……
Afternoon, 3 o'clock.
Ning Qing ate something simple, changed his clothes and went out to take a taxi to the golf course in the East District. Actually, he wanted to take the bus to save money, but there was no suitable route.
Arrived at the golf course around 4 o'clock.
Nian Qing paid the money, took the reimbursement invoice, got off the car, and at the entrance of the golf course, met Su Mei and other colleagues.
After gathering together, a group of people went to find Huo Zhi. Qing walked at the end. At first, she was just an assistant, but no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure out what she had done wrong to offend Huo Zhi.
Soon, he saw Huo Zhe.
He was surrounded by many people, including those from the golf course who were serving him throughout. There were also several elegant men at the table, chatting and laughing together. They were probably friends of Huo Zhe's, or perhaps they were people he had to entertain.
Ning Qing raised her eyes, took a glance, and saw a man. She thought he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before. The man also noticed her and smiled politely at her without making a sound to greet her.
Furrowing her brow, she looked at him and asked, "Do you know her?"
Huo was wearing a white casual outfit today, much more handsome than his eccentric and mysterious appearance last night. His eyebrows were filled with arrogance, he is a self-centered man.
He expressed his dissatisfaction to Su Mei: "I want some peace and quiet today, there are too many people you've brought with you, it's affecting my mood. Let Nian Qing stay, the others can leave."
Su Mei pursed her lips, looking very displeased. Just as she was about to refuse, Huo Zhi spoke again in a cool tone, "By the way, hand over the contract to her. I'm in a good mood today, who knows, maybe I'll sign it."
Su Mei's face stiffened, and she hesitated.
"Alright, Mr. Huo, I'll stay."
She wanted to sign a contract with Huo Zhe as soon as possible and get rid of the trouble she had unknowingly caused.
It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. If you're going to stay, then just stay! In broad daylight, Su Mei and other colleagues were outside, she didn't believe that Huo Zhi dared to use force!
Su Mei sighed and handed the contract to Nian Qing, instructing her on some details and things to pay attention to. Then, she left with other colleagues, saying they would return in an hour.
After leaving.
Ning Qing was alone here, with a sense of fighting alone, while the other side was Huo Zhi, a strange person who had an inexplicable hostility towards her.
Emotions, apprehensive, helpless.
Huo stood up, hit a golf ball, and did quite well. The several men sitting with him were all cheering, everyone was comparing their skills, an elegant leisurely entertainment. Nian Qing was here, feeling very idle, wanting to discuss official business, but couldn't find a way to start the conversation.
Everyone else is having fun.
Nian Qing was thinking about how she should bring up the topic with Huo Zhe and then gradually steer the conversation towards the contract.
Suddenly, Huo Zhiyue held up a golf club and pointed at her, asking "Want to play a round?"
"Mr. Huo, I won't play this." Nian Qing said seriously, she had never even touched a golf ball before, and such an expensive and time-consuming form of entertainment was not something she could afford to indulge in.
Huò's lips curled up, staring at her with a hint of a smile that was not quite a smile.
Ning Qing understood what he was thinking, last night, she also said that she couldn't play table tennis - "Mr. Huo, this time I really can't play."
Huo raised an eyebrow: "I played with your dad just last week, he's not bad." He handed the golf club to the person next to him, returned to his seat and sat down leisurely: "Nian Hai is your dad, right?"
She stared blankly and didn't respond.
Huo Ze continued: "I heard Nian Hai say that you are Guan Shao Chen's fiancée, right?"
Knitting her delicate eyebrows, she remained silent as before.
Huo's smile on his face gradually became strange: "The woman who had a lovers' dinner with Gu Qingheng before, was you, right?"
She quietly clenched her fists and nervously understood why Huo Zhi had inexplicably become hostile towards her, as well as the meaning behind his words now.
The reason is Gu Qingheng.
Huo Zhi's contradictions with Gu Qingheng are very deep. And her relationship with Gu Qingheng is also very ambiguous.
Nian Qing thought for a moment, she should say something.
Refusing to admit it, it seems like there's no other way. Judging from Huo Zhi's attitude, he is 100% certain that the person who was with Gu Qingheng at that time was her. If she admits it, Huo Zhi will know that she is the fiancée of Guan Shaozhen, and she would be putting herself in a shameful position.
"After some thought, Qing said seriously: 'It's not my fault. Mr. Gu has always wanted to try a couple's dinner with his fiancée, but he hasn't done it before and doesn't want any unpleasant mistakes in the process. So, he asked me to rehearse with him first.'"
This reason is a bit far-fetched.
But it's better than saying nothing by default.
Huo Zai was laughing, and a man was also laughing, even making a sound, holding his belly in laughter.
Nian Qing pursed her lips, feeling very embarrassed.
She knew it was a bit far-fetched, but who says you can't?!
That man, looking at Nian Qing, thought he was clever and had a quick reaction, but he was a bit too tender and didn't handle things properly. The best explanation is that he wants to push all the responsibility onto Gu Qing Heng and put himself in a position of ignorance, which is more suitable.
She said so, on the contrary, it was to shield Gu Qingheng.
"That night at Qingheng, you lost tens of thousands to take care of me, did you know?" The man smiled.
... tens of thousands, in order to take care of one person, Gu Qingheng pushed all his chips out in an instant.
In a moment of distraction, her body felt heavy, her legs went soft, and she was about to collapse under the weight of Gu Qingheng's gaze.
She finally knew why she thought this man looked familiar. It turned out that he was the person Gu Qingheng had entertained in the club room that night.
Ke Gu Qing Heng said to her clearly that night, he won money and also gave her... a diamond bracelet.
Tens of thousands for her, he has spent it all, but has he ever thought that it's not worth it at all!
"...You're wrong, Mr. Gu, it's intentional to let you have the chips to play with." Nian Qing forced himself to find a reason to explain.
Deliberately interpreting oneself.
That man has been smiling all along, without intentionally making things difficult for her. This time, she answered well, with a very good reason - if he hadn't seen Gu Qingheng personally carrying her away.
Was it intentional or was Gu Qingheng's mind already fully on her at the time, everyone present that evening could understand. They had long passed the age of being deceived by a few words.
"Give me the contract." Huo Zhi suddenly spoke up.
Nian Qing was taken aback by the sudden probing and didn't think much of it, so she handed the contract over to Huo Zhi.
Is he going to sign?
Huo didn't look at the content of the contract, casually flipped through a page, wrote down a string of numbers on the blank back side, tore it off, and handed it to Nian Qing: "Keep in touch from now on."
...is Huo's personal mobile phone number.
Qing's eyes narrowed tightly, hesitating.
The contract is torn apart, it's definitely not going to be signed today. Whether she receives He Zhi's phone number or not.
This trouble, the sooner she gets rid of it the better, but Luochuan's whereabouts may be known by Haozhi!
Stretch out your hand to grasp, but think better of it.
"Mr. Gu."
A voice interrupted Ning Qing's movements, she turned her head and saw someone who shouldn't be here - Gu Qingheng!
And there's one more. Asking for red envelopes.
