English Novel
Chapter 198
If she had cherished memories inside, the scenario would have never unfolded this way... Qin Zhenzhen's thoughts drifted to something she should avoid, and she quickly pulled them back.
Noticing the beautiful color of Qin Zhenzhen's wine, Jiang Yan mumbled. So, Qin Zhenzhen shared some of her drink with her.
The lightly and deeply shaded pink liquid mingled with the gradually changing teal concoction.
Qin Zhenzhen paused, somewhat taken aback.
When they finished their drinks, Qin Zhenzhen took Jiang Yan out to play, informing her of a fireworks show occurring at the plaza across.
"Really? I don't recall seeing any fireworks at the New Year's celebration..." Wrapping up her anticipation, the firework lit up and burst into the night sky.
Fireworks always brilliantly lit up the sky before fading away in a blink. But amidst them, Jiang Yan spotted her own name.
The first firework took the shape of a heart, the second spelled out Jiang Yan's name and the third one wished for peace and happiness...
Jiang Yan finally understood the spectacle, and she attentively watched the fireworks show crafted just for her.
After the show, Jiang Yan cheerfully hung onto Qin Zhenzhen, "I'm so touched."
Qin Zhenzhen replied with a smile, "That's because you’re a grown woman now, and you are engaged."
Jiang Yan would never know what Qin Zhenzhen was thinking when the former was watching the fireworks display, similar to how she was unaware of that night years ago. A few days after they returned to school from the police station, Qin Zhenzhen located the man who was just released.
She brought a baseball bat but had her underlings do the dirty work.
She quietly stood at the corner of the alley, hearing the panicked and miserable screams. Creeping up to his front, she kicked the soil beneath her feet lightly, and warned in a stern whisper, "From now on, keep your hands clean. Don't touch whoever you wish."
Yet some things are better kept hidden, like a beautiful vibrant dream. Qin Zhenzhen will always be Jiang Yan's best friend.
...
It was only later that Qin Zhenzhen understood. The man who kept appearing before her with an air of arrogance was appointed by the system.
He always arrived in a flashy car and expensive suit, but his character was extremely snobbish and conceited. Even the disdain Qin Zhenzhen threw him was misconstrued as flirtatious glances.
On one occasion, he dare to present Qin Zhenzhen with a ridiculously strict and inhumane contract, as if it were a boon from him.
It was as though being his kept woman was a great honor.
Qin Zhenzhen, unwilling to reason with such a fool, had security escort him out of the bar, making it clear he wasn't welcome in the future.
He seemed to fume with embarrassment and rage, murmuring some curse that barely made any sense. As he was about to take action, he was already targeted by both the Qin and Jiang Corporations.
His tiny, insignificant company didn't stand a chance against the Qin Zhenzhen and Jiang Corporations, forcing him to hastily withdraw his directive.
However, in the end, Qin Zhenzhen purchased his "little broken" company, making him a small advisor within Qin Corporation.
Qin Zhenzhen had no interest in anyone, nor did she seek to. Busy with her career, she seized every opportunity to have fun with Jiang Yan, and took trips abroad to clear her mind when she had nothing else to do.
Madam Yang's two sons were disappointments, lazy and idle, utterly unable to hold their own. Thus, Qin Zhenzhen took it upon herself to support Madam Yang in her old age.
Qin Zhenzhen believed that in this life, having met the people she wanted to meet, was already wonderful.
Thus, her life was calm and quiet, lonely yet free.
