Chapter 3222 Shen Tianyu 622

Lu Ning was puzzled. "Back then, you disliked Yu Ning, Yu Cheng, and Yuan Jun in every way. How come you've suddenly become so easy to talk to Xiao Heng?"

Through the car windshield, Qin Ye gazed at Qin Heng, who was holding Chi Ling captive, and thought, "It's better than being kidnapped by Bai Ji to Kunlun Mountain. Chi Ling's biggest weakness is her low level of education and her fierce personality. I didn't go to university either, and I also have a fierce personality."

“But you earned your bachelor’s degree through self-study.” Recalling the past, Lu Ning still felt a strong attraction to Qin Ye from back then.

In his youth, he was taciturn and tall. Although he was wild and untamed and not highly educated, he was highly skilled in appraising treasures and exploring tombs. He was also loyal and devoted, and silently loved her deeply.

He worked hard to get a degree through self-study so that he could be worthy of her, even though he was far superior to her in terms of qualifications.

That kind of restrained and profound love deeply moved her.

Seeing that Chi Ling was too impulsive, Qin Heng grabbed her arms, lifted her up, and walked towards his car.

He was over 1.9 meters tall, while Chi Ling was quite petite.

He lifted her up with ease.

But Chi Ling was no pushover either; despite her small size, she possessed astonishing strength.

As she twisted and struggled, she called out to the golden silkworm gu inside her womb, "Baby, come out quickly, this brat is bullying me!"

The golden silkworm gu remained motionless, lurking inside her abdomen.

Chi Ling angrily shouted, "Are you dead? Every time it's crucial, you pretend to be dead and disobey!"

Qin Heng said, "Shouldn't you reflect on yourself? Even your Gu is calmer than you."

Chi Ling, clinging to his arm, angrily said, "Talking while standing up, doesn't it hurt your back! If your father abandoned your mother, and she raised you alone, and your father remarried, started a family, had children, and lived happily ever after, and you were constantly called a fatherless bastard, and people pointed at you when you went out, would you still say such things?"

Qin Heng did not have that kind of experience.

I can't imagine it.

They are even less able to empathize.

He strode to the car, opened the back door with one hand, and put Chi Ling inside.

He quickly got into the car and locked it.

He then stepped from the back seat to the driver's seat.

He started the car and dialed Yuan Shenzhi's number. "Brother, Chi Ling is unlikely to calm down anytime soon, so I've taken her away. Have Uncle Shangguan find a place to stay for a few days and hide away until Chi Ling calms down."

Yuan Shenzhi responded with a "Okay".

Qin Heng drove Chi Ling to Gu Family Manor.

After parking the car, he grabbed her arm and went to Gu Aoting's house.

When Yuan Shenzhi called him, he was having his New Year's Eve dinner.

A dozen or so tables of people were gathered in the dedicated banquet hall, creating a lively atmosphere.

Qin Heng warned Chi Ling in a low voice: "It's the New Year, you better stay here and eat your New Year's Eve dinner quietly. I absolutely will not allow murder to happen."

Chi Ling glared at him angrily.

Qin Heng raised his hand to cover her eyes, preventing her from glaring at him.

Chi Ling turned her head away.

Yan Yan sat down next to Su Hua. When she looked up, she saw Qin Heng and Chi Ling entering the room. She also saw Qin Heng holding Chi Ling's hand and trying to cover her eyes.

She hurriedly lowered her head, thinking to herself, "They really look like a young couple having a tiff."

She turned seventeen after the New Year.

Dramatic changes in her family background, complicated experiences, and a bumpy life made her much more mature than her peers.

Qin Heng, still holding onto Chi Ling, walked towards her.

Yan Yan's hand, which was holding the chopsticks, suddenly stiffened and remained motionless.

Su Hua and the others all knew Chi Ling.

Seeing that Qin Heng had brought her over during the New Year, Su Hua called a servant to add a chair and a set of tableware.

By now, everyone who could drink had gotten quite drunk, while those who weren't were happily accepting red envelopes from Gu Aoting and Qin Shu.

The banquet hall was bustling with activity, filled with the sounds of people clinking glasses and a joyous atmosphere.

It was not affected by Chi Ling's arrival.

Qin Heng pressed Chi Ling down into the chair and said, "You have a mother and a grandfather, and your father is alive too. What more could you want? Look at Yan Yan, she has nothing, but she's doing just fine. She's much more sensible than you. You should learn from her!"

Yan Yan felt a sharp pain in her chest.

She lowered her head, biting her lip hard, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes.

It's the Lunar New Year, and she couldn't spoil everyone's fun.

Su Hua noticed the change in her.

She reached out and grasped Chi Ling's cold, thin hand, saying, "Little girl, hurry up and eat. It's New Year's Eve today. We can talk about anything after the New Year."

Chi Ling had calmed down considerably by now.

She responded and said to Yan Yan, "It's not what you think. I met him on the way."

Yan Yan kept her head down.

She silently shoveled rice into her mouth.

Seeing that Chi Ling had behaved herself, Qin Heng turned around and went to the next table, where Gu Chufan, Gu Hancheng, and Chu Xuan were sitting.

As he drank and laughed with them, he kept glancing at Chi Ling.

I was afraid she would cause trouble.

Chi Ling picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and placed it on Yan Yan's plate. She lowered her voice and asked, "Do you really have no relatives left?"

Yan Yan gave a vague "hmm".

Chi Ling picked up a dumpling and placed it in front of her, saying, "You're so pitiful."

Yan Yan has an exceptionally strong sense of self-esteem.

She returned the dumplings and meat sandwich to her, her eyes red and swollen from holding back tears.

With red eyes, she said, "I have a grandma, and Grandma Su Hua is very good to me."

Su Hua didn't ask for details, but judging from the situation, she guessed most of the matter.

She picked up her phone and texted Shen Tianyu: Tianyu, what's going on with Chi Ling?

Shen Tianyu replied: She knows she is Shangguan Teng's daughter and is making a scene, threatening to kill Shangguan Teng. Shen Zhi asked Qin Heng for help, and Qin Heng took her to Gu Family Manor.

Su Hua had to admire Shen Tianyu's abilities.

They guessed exactly the same thing.

Su Hua replied: You accompany Jinzhi to have a proper New Year's Eve dinner at your father-in-law's house. Leave Chi Ling to me.

Shen Tianyu knew his grandmother's abilities and replied with a single word: "Okay."

Su Hua placed her phone on the table, ladled a bowl of soup for Chi Ling, and said gently, "Child, let's make do with staying at the villa tonight. It's so cold, don't bother going to a hotel. Here, have some soup to warm up."

Chi Ling took the soup bowl. "You don't hate me?"

Su Hua smiled gently, "Why would I hate you? Back then, when Tianyu was injured, you were the one who helped him get treatment. It's not wrong for you to like Tianyu; you have the right to like someone, and Tianyu is likable too. After Tianyu got married, you didn't pester him or hurt Jinzhi. That proves that you're a good person."

Chi Ling scoffed, "Your standards for good children are too low, aren't they? Just now, I wanted to kill Shangguan Teng."

“But you didn’t kill him, and you wouldn’t have killed him. If you really wanted to kill him, you would have done it quietly, without making a scene.”

Chi Ling found this gentle and beautiful old woman terrifying.

A hit!

She was furious that Shangguan Teng had abandoned his wife and daughter.

She was furious that everyone knew the truth but deliberately kept it from her and played her for a fool!

Su Hua patted her hand, "After you finish eating, Grandma will take you home first, so you can take a hot bath. It's too cold outside, be careful your hands don't get frostbite."

Chi Ling suddenly lowered her eyelids and remained silent.

He held the soup bowl in his hand, but didn't drink it.

They just stayed there, motionless.

Su Hua turned her head to look at her, "What's wrong, child? Do you miss your mother? Don't worry, I'll have someone buy you a ticket and send you back tomorrow."

Chi Ling remained silent, and suddenly a drop of water fell onto her hand.

She put down the soup bowl, freed one hand, and vigorously wiped her eyes.

she cried.

Su Hua took a clean, soft napkin and gently wiped away her tears, saying softly, "Don't cry."

She pulled her into her arms and gently patted her arm. "You're too young. It's normal to have trouble thinking about things, to want to make a scene, or even to want to kill him. After you've had your turn to argue and vent, it'll all be over, and life goes on. When you get to my age, you'll understand that these are all minor things. In life, you're bound to encounter all sorts of sordid, dirty, rotten, and even ugly things, but compared to that, there are many more wonderful people and wonderful things waiting for us. We shouldn't punish ourselves for other people's mistakes, and we certainly shouldn't let other people's mistakes ruin our own beautiful lives."

Chi Ling listened quietly.

As she listened, she suddenly buried her face in her arms and began to sob.
