Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

"Uncle Song--" Qi Xiangtian shouted sincerely, "I am very grateful that you think highly of me, but I already have someone I like. Persistence and faithfulness in love are also a kind of virtue of being a person. As the chairman of Yide, you don't want your daughter to find a man who will abandon her and try to get close to a rich and powerful man.

Song Siyao sighed, "Xiangtian, I sincerely hope that you can become a member of my family."

"I'm sorry, Uncle Song." Qi Xiangtian's face showed unshakable determination.

Song Qiaoran looked on coldly, love completely destroyed in her heart. At the same time, certain thoughts came to her mind quietly.

---

After New Year's Eve, Du Qingqing began to have frequent contact with Yao Anyu, and her original half-hearted attitude turned into her openness to everyone who came.

In these two months, she seemed like a different person.

She curled the ends of her hair and dyed it dark brown, creating a very fashionable look; she walked into the China World Trade Center and changed into expensive brand-name clothes that she had never touched before; she learned how to put on makeup, lightly drawing eyebrows, applying powder, and dotting lipstick.

She went to a driving school to sign up and started learning to drive. She took time out on weekends to go to the gym to practice yoga and learned how to appreciate coffee and tea.

When he met Du Qingqing at the factory gate after get off work, Bo Tong's eyes lit up and he almost didn't recognize her.

The pure little girl was completely different from before. This was the case every time I saw Du Qingqing recently. The little girl who would become shy and blush when she spoke a few words since she was a child seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

She was wearing a high-quality pink cashmere lace-up waist coat, a white wool sweater and brown tweed pants, brown half-high sheepskin boots, curly hair and a stylish shawl, shiny lips, a prominent figure, and beautiful and charming.

"Qingqing——" Botong shouted.

"Botong, are you off work?" Du Qingqing asked him naturally, without blushing like she did in the past because of Botong's surprised expression.

"You--did you finish school so early? Don't you usually finish class very late?"

"I won't be teaching evening self-study today." Du Qingqing said, "There are only four days in a month when I don't teach self-study."

Bo Tong nodded blankly, "Then, let's go to my house for dinner."

"No, I have to go out soon, my classmates will pick me up."

"Yao Anyu?" Bo Tong asked.

"Yes." Du Qingqing said.

"He's not the right one for you."

"Who is right for me?" Du Qingqing's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness, "The person who is right for me has been snatched away. It doesn't matter who I am with anymore."

"Qingqing..." Hearing her words, Bo Tong felt even more uncomfortable, "You can't associate with Yao Anyu in this case. You don't like him, you just want to find a place to rely on."

Du Qingqing nodded, "Yes, it's a place of sustenance. He can teach me a lot of things and show me the world I have never seen before, such as horse riding, yoga, rock climbing, driving... I have tried all the things I have never thought of before. I know that the charm of a woman that attracts men is not only her beauty and gentleness, but also her tricks and teasing."

"When did you have these ideas?" Bo Tong was very surprised. "People are different. Not everyone is suitable for the tricks you mentioned. I like you because of your innocence. It has nothing to do with anything else."

Du Qingqing smiled lightly, "I'm sorry, Botong. My innocence made me only want Fang Zheng. I am willing to become whatever he likes. If he doesn't want me anymore, I don't care."

Bo Tong was stunned and stopped talking.

Sitting in Yao Anyu's car, Du Qingqing looked out the window with a dazed expression and said nothing. Yao Anyu said a lot in her ear, but she didn't hear a word.

After a while, she looked at Yao Anyu and said, "The instructor of the yoga class you took me to last time was very good. I want to apply for an annual pass."

"Not today." Yao Anyu said, "I want to take you to my house for dinner."

"Go to your house for dinner?" Du Qingqing was a little surprised. "Why?"

"Because I told my dad that you are my girlfriend. He asked me to bring you home to see him."

Du Qingqing asked: "How did I become your girlfriend?"

Yao Anyu said: "I picked you up and dropped you off every day, and you never refused. I gave you things and took you out for dinner, and you never refused. If this isn't a girlfriend, then what is it?"

Du Qingqing nodded as if she understood something, "How much money you spent on me, I will transfer it all to you."

Yao Anyu hurriedly explained: "Du Qingqing, that's not what I meant. I said the wrong thing. I was willing to spend money on you. I just wanted to use this as an excuse to ask you to visit my home. I have to save face in front of my father, so I said you are my girlfriend."

"Do you think I'm right for you?" Du Qingqing asked.

Yao Anyu nodded repeatedly, "Of course it's suitable. You know how I feel about you over the years. You are my type."

"What happened on New Year's Eve--" Du Qingqing remembered Bo Tong saying that Yao Anyu was not suitable for him.

Yao Anyu said hurriedly: "I was impulsive on New Year's Eve. I apologize to you again. Although your neighbor is a bit stubborn, he is your neighbor after all. I don't care."

Du Qingqing looked ahead. Over the past month, Yao Anyu had indeed kept apologizing to her for what happened on New Year's Eve. After a long silence, she said to Yao Anyu, "Okay, let's do as you wish.

----

Yao Anyu lives in a detached villa halfway up the mountain. It takes a long time to get to his home along the uphill road.

Pass the huge garden and swimming pool, and walk into the bright hall.

"Dad, I'm back." Yao Anyu shouted loudly.

"An Yu is back, we are in the restaurant." A deep voice came from the direction of the restaurant.

Walking through the hall and into the dining room, two men in their fifties were sitting at a large square dining table, talking.

"Dad——" Yao Anyu shouted happily, "You're back. We haven't seen you for a month."

Father Yao laughed and looked at Du Qingqing beside Yao Anyu, "This is your girlfriend, right?"

Yao Anyu introduced them:

"This is Du Qingqing."

"This is my dad."

"Hello, uncle." Du Qingqing looked at Yao Anyu's father. She had never asked what Yao Anyu's family did. She only knew that they were quite wealthy, but she didn't expect them to be so luxurious. In the past, she would have been nervous and cramped in such an environment. But now, she seemed calm and indifferent to everything. Everything around her could not cause any big waves to her.

"Sit down quickly." Yao's father waved and greeted, "You are Du Qingqing, Anyu's college classmate, right?" His tone of voice was somewhat similar to Yao Anyu's, but with a little more domineering.

Du Qingqing nodded and sat down on the chair that Yao Anyu pulled out. Yao Anyu sat next to her.

"Quiet and bookish, the type Anyu likes." Yao's father laughed, then pointed at the man next to him and said to Yao Anyu: "Anyu, let me introduce you to this man, you haven't met him before, he is Song Simiao, the younger brother of Mr. Song of Yide Pharmaceutical. You can call him Uncle Song."

"Hello, Uncle Song." Yao Anyu couldn't help but sigh: "Yide Pharmaceutical?"

Song Simiao showed a gentle smile, "You should only know Chairman Song Siyao. Unlike your father, he is so famous in Lincheng."

Yao Anyu smiled embarrassedly. He only knew Song Siyao, the chairman of Yide, and didn't expect that he had a younger brother.

Upon hearing that it was someone from Yide Pharmaceutical, Du Qingqing seemed to become a little interested. To be honest, Yide Pharmaceutical had nothing to do with her, but Fang Zheng worked at Yide Pharmaceutical, so at least it was not a company that she was completely unfamiliar with.

The aunt in the kitchen started serving the dishes, and Yao Anyu asked, "Where's my mom?"

Yao Anyu's father said: "She went to the restaurant. There was something she needed to deal with there."

After the dishes were served, the aunt brought a small bowl of steaming milky white soup to each person and said, "This is crucian carp and tofu soup. It has been simmered for a long time. Everyone, drink it while it's hot."

"Anyu, take good care of Du Qingqing." Yao Anyu's father said, "Qingqing, be more casual and don't be restrained."

"Okay, thank you uncle." Du Qingqing nodded.

Yao Anyu and Du Qingqing were on one side of the dining table, and Yao Anyu's father and Song Simiao were on the other side. The dining table was very large, and both sides were talking to each other.

After drinking a spoonful of soup, Du Qingqing asked Yao Anyu softly, "Uncle Song just said that your father is a celebrity in Lincheng. Who is he?"

"Did you know Yao Hong from Tianyuan Group? He's my dad."

Du Qingqing shook her head. She had never paid attention to these large groups in Lincheng. In her past world, apart from her profession, there were only Fang Zheng and Bo Tong, who grew up together in the factory family housing.

Yao Anyu said nonchalantly: "I don't care about my father's affairs. I'm only interested in playing football."

After saying that, Yao Anyu put some dishes into her bowl, and she smiled at Yao Anyu to express her gratitude.

After dinner, Yao Anyu took Du Qingqing to the glass house greenhouse garden outside the restaurant to see the flowers they grew at home.

Du Qingqing was not interested in flowers and just listened quietly as Yao Anyu introduced them to her.

Walking out of the greenhouse and into the restaurant, Yao Hong and Song Simiao were still sitting at the small coffee table next to the dining table, chatting, with a cup of green tea in front of each of them.

"An Yu, you can go to the recreation room to sing." Yao Hong said.

Du Qingqing shook her head to show that she was not interested. Yao Anyu thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me. I'll go upstairs to get a night light and show you a sheep I'm feeding nearby."

Du Qingqing was standing at the junction of the dining room and the living room waiting for Yao Anyu, but she heard a familiar name coming from the whispered conversation between Yao Hong and Song Simiao in the dining room.

"That child's name is Fang Zheng."

Du Qingqing held her breath. Was she having an illusion? Why did she hear them mention Fang Zheng's name?

She stood aside and continued to listen quietly to the conversation between the two.

Song Simiao's voice came: "He Feng said that Fang Zheng is the child of the Zhang family. He works at Yide. If he wants to take revenge, we can help him."

The phone in Du Qingqing's hand almost fell to the ground uncontrollably. She grabbed the phone tightly and her heart beat faster.

She didn't understand the whole story of what they said, but she understood the key words: Zhang family's child and revenge.

"What do you want to do?" Yao Hong's voice.

"What I didn't do two years ago, I want to complete now. Fang Zheng is Zhang Zhiyi's son. Now that he knows his identity, he won't let Song Siyao go easily. He is staying in Yide and marrying Ruan Peijun's niece all for revenge." Song Simiao's voice.

"how do you know?"

"He Feng and I are brothers in life and death. If I hadn't told him about Zhang Keyan's disappearance, how could Fang Zheng exist? He has no secrets from me."

"If you need me to do anything, just tell me at any time." Yao Hong's voice.

"—"

"Qingqing, let's go and get the night light." Yao Anyu walked to Du Qingqing.

Hearing Yao Anyu's voice, Du Qingqing trembled all over and turned to look at him.

"Let's go." Yao Anyu didn't notice her abnormality.

"No more." Du Qingqing said, "It's getting late. I want to go home."

"Go and see my sheep, and then I'll take you back." said Yao Anyu.

Du Qingqing shook her head stubbornly, "I have class tomorrow morning, I have to go back to prepare for it."

"That's such a bummer," Yao Anyu said, "Just leave now."

Du Qingqing didn't give him a chance to stay and immediately said, "I'll go say hello to your father." After that, she walked back to the restaurant and shouted, "Uncle Yao, Uncle Song, you guys chat slowly, I'm going home first."

Yao Hong looked at his watch. "It's only half past seven. You can play for a while longer. An Yu will take you there."

Du Qingqing shook her head, "Thank you, Uncle Yao. I have to go home and prepare for class tomorrow morning."

"Okay. You are much more sensible than An Yu. After graduating from college, he just played around and played football every day. He didn't have any big ambitions. In the future, you should help take care of him."

Du Qingqing smiled faintly and said, "Uncle, I'll go first."

"An Yu, send Qingqing off." Yao Hong shouted.

Du Qingqing got off the car at the factory gate, and Yao Anyu got out of the car to take her in.

"No need to send me off, I can go in by myself." Du Qingqing stopped Yao Anyu, turned around and walked anxiously into the factory.

"What are you in such a hurry for?" Yao Anyu shouted, "Walk carefully."

Walking into the family area, Du Qingqing took out her cell phone and dialed Botong's number, "Botong, are you home? I have something to ask you."

Botong seemed a little worried, "I-I'm at home, what do you want?"

"Can I come to see you?" Du Qingqing asked.

Bo Tong said hurriedly: "Where are you? I'll be right out."

As soon as Bo Tong walked out of the door, he saw Du Qingqing. She burst into tears and said, "Bo Tong, I want to ask about Fang Zheng. Can you help me meet him?"

"Qingqing, Fang Zheng is married, so it's not convenient for him to see you."

Du Qingqing's face was filled with tears. "Please, Botong, please help me."

"If you must see him for anything, you can tell me first."

"This matter is very important. I must verify it with Fang Zheng first." Du Qingqing's voice trembled unconsciously, "Please, please Botong."

Bo Tong sighed, "I can only try and ask him when he can come over for you."

After recording the show, Wu Linxi took off his headphones and walked down from the studio.

Yu Yanyang walked quickly to her and handed her the handbag again, "Senior Sister Wu Linxi, don't forget things every time."

Wu Linxi smiled and said, "Thank you. You are such a thoughtful boy."

"Do you like careful little boys?" Yu Yanyang asked.
