Chapter 55 - 55: Zheng Xu, We Meet Again



Jia Xiufang hosted a college entrance banquet with ten tables, inviting all the relatives.

Without Chen Lin, the atmosphere was slightly strange, but regardless, Xiao Qian became the focus of the day.

Following Jia Xiufang’s lead to chat with each table and accepting everyone’s congratulations, whether genuine or insincere, Xiao Qian took mental note of all the relatives present.

In fact, most of their family’s relatives were neither good nor bad – they would visit during occasions but keep their distance otherwise. There weren’t many reliable ones, but there weren’t many extremely shameless ones either. In her memory, the only utterly shameless ones seemed to be her Second Maternal Uncle’s family.

Worth noting was Xiao Qian’s Fourth Uncle’s family. In her past life, Fourth Uncle had been kind to her. After her downfall, it was only his family who had offered her a helping hand. Fourth Uncle had a cousin named Chen Chao, who left a deep impression on Xiao Qian.

There were two most challenging times in Xiao Qian’s past life. The first one was when she divorced that bitch.

The second time, just after setting up her studio, she had a cash shortage, adding onto her daughter Xiao Wei getting sick and hospitalized. Borrowing money from everyone, she could really see the fickleness of human nature.

When nothing was wrong, many people acted as friends and relatives, but when things did go wrong, and money was needed, everyone hid faster than anything else.

After borrowing from all around, Xiao Qian was almost desperate, on the verge of taking extremes to raise money for her daughter. It was at that moment that her cousin Chen Chao came back from abroad and gave her fifty thousand yuan directly.

In fact, her cousin didn’t save much money when sent abroad by his company. The money he gave her wasn’t a small sum for him. But Xiao Qian would always remember a snowy night. She had been holding her sick little Xiao Wei, standing at the entrance of the hospital, watching her cousin get off a taxi and offering her a shoebox in a black plastic bag. He said just one sentence.

“Take it to treat your child.”

Upon opening the box, she saw stacks of cash, bundled together.

After Xiao Qian made a fortune, many people fawned over her, sending gifts and establishing connections. She had received gifts worth hundreds of thousands, and it was quite normal to have human interactions with such values.

But those were just adding flowers to the brocade, inessential and not worth care.

Only the lifesaving fifty thousand yuan sent in the snow was unforgettable to Xiao Qian.

Although she also helped Fourth Uncle’s family after she became rich, Xiao Qian always felt she could never repay this debt of gratitude fully.

Her cousin’s life was not good in the previous life, not because of money, but emotional problems. Xiao Qian felt that since she was reborn at this point in time, she could help her cousin.

“Qian’er, what are you daydreaming about? Your Second Uncle is talking to you, didn’t you hear?” Jia Xiufang nudged Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian came back to her senses. At this table, besides Second Uncle’s family, there were also Fourth Uncle and Big Uncle. Chen Lin was third in the family’s order.

Big Uncle was the type who loved to show off. When he bought some ribs, he’d hate not walking around the neighborhood with them, pretending to be casual while showing off to others. If he saw someone else doing better, he became jealous. But besides being small-minded and having a sharp tongue, he hadn’t done anything overly excessive.

Second Uncle was good at talking and hobnobbing, getting close to those with money and saying all the nice things in front of them. However, when Xiao Qian was in difficulty, it was his family that had hidden away first.

Although these two families weren’t great, they hadn’t done anything too overboard either. Xiao Qian didn’t want to take care of them, nor did she want to be too close to them.

“Qian’er, you’re a promising child. Among all our family members, you’re the only one who’s always good at studying. Now you’re admitted to university, your Second Uncle can also be proud.” Second Uncle said, as if he had contributed a lot to Xiao Qian’s admission to university. With her head down, no one could see the sarcastic smile on Xiao Qian’s lips.

When she carried little Xiao Wei and went about borrowing money, she clearly remembered the attitude of her Second Uncle.

“Qian’er, hurry up and toast your Second Uncle.” Jia Xiufang pushed Xiao Qian, and she stood up with a glass of Sprite. However, she was looking at Fourth Uncle, who hadn’t spoken.

“Uncle, I toast you. Is Chao not here?”

“Your cousin Chao has work in his company, and he can’t come. He asked me to say hello to you for him.” Fourth Uncle replied.

“I’ll visit him in a few days.” Given the timeline, Chao was about to go abroad. Xiao Qian had to stop him, as going abroad would be the first step in his unfortunate love life.

Second Uncle felt awkward, being completely ignored. He could only drink his wine in silence.

Fourth Uncle’s family were all honest people, not saying much, but they stepped up the most during critical moments.

The ones who treated you well might not be chatty or try to stay present, but when needed, they’d really stand out.

Facing Xiao Qian’s toast, the honest Fourth Uncle didn’t know what to do and could only drink the wine his niece offered, saying shyly to her,

“Study hard.”

Second Uncle said no more, his face showing a hint of displeasure.

Xiao Qian didn’t care what he thought and casually made an excuse to leave the room.

There were a total of four small rooms reserved for the banquet, filled with the smell of alcohol. Having been busy until now, Xiao Qian hadn’t eaten a bite and had drunk a bellyful of soda.

She had no appetite and didn’t feel hungry. She walked to a corner of the corridor and looked outside through the window. The hotel wasn’t far from his workplace, and she could vaguely see luxurious tali buildings in the city center.

There was still no news from Yu Minglang. She didn’t know if his work was finished and whether he had been injured in some kind of trap.

Thinking of that fool, Xiao Qian felt restless and wanted to wash her hands.

She was on the second floor, and the restroom was on the third floor. A cleaning lady was wiping the floor near the stairs, so Xiao Qian took the elevator instead.

There was already someone inside the elevator, a man. Xiao Qian glanced at him and didn’t think much of it. But upon seeing the man’s face, she was stunned.

Wasn’t this… Zheng Xu?!

This man had almost the same height as Yu Minglang, about 180 centimeters. He was more muscular than Yu Minglang, with an angular face covered in sunglasses. His overly tough features made him look fierce, and though handsome, most young girls wouldn’t dare take a second look.

Zheng Xu’s history with Xiao Qian was deep. He had an extraordinary background and tremendous power, having started in real estate. He was once a member of the underworld and continued to hold an air of Jianghu even after withdrawing from the scene.

Xiao Qian didn’t expect to see Zheng Xu more than ten years earlier.

His younger years looked like this…

Zheng Xu felt a girl staring at him and glanced at her in confusion. Xiao Qian apologized and looked away.

The elevator door opened, and Zheng Xu stepped out first. Xiao Qian looked at his retreating figure before entering the restroom.

She turned on the faucet, the water gushing as she washed her hands. She thought of her past life’s encounter with him..
