Chapter 927: Chapter 896: Clear Emotions

Qi Zhengmin thought for a moment, his eyes lighting up, and said, "Sister Tiantian, I’ve realized I have great foresight for having monopolized you to work with us from the beginning. Even if my brother were to leave, the two of us could still hold the fort."

"Okay, even just for the sake of our work, I will try my best." He Tiantian said, "Moreover, I hope your brother finds his happiness soon."

Qi Zhenghan was not only a man of integrity, he was also the dear grandson of Third Grandma Qi, whom He Tiantian most respected. She hoped Qi Zhenghan would have a good ending.

"Yeah, I hope so too," said Qi Zhengmin. "Let my brother handle the matters in front first, then we’ll take over."

He Tiantian smiled and said, "You! But, I’m thinking the same."

Qi Zhenghan and Huo Yingjie were playing chess, not uttering a single word, especially gloomy.

Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin didn’t care to come and watch the chess game.

At three in the afternoon, the Qi Family siblings took their leave!

From He Tiantian, Qi Zhengmin had some revelations, so he observed his brother closely and noticed he indeed was different from before.

"Brother, do you really not like Zhang Mengmeng?" Qi Zhengmin couldn’t help but ask, "Although I haven’t known Zhang Mengmeng for long, I think she’s a kind and strong girl. Such a great girl has no shortage of suitors at school, can you really bear to let her be with other guys?"

Hearing this, Qi Zhenghan stiffened.

But afterwards, he got out of the car without speaking and went directly into the hotel room.

"Don’t care?" Qi Zhenghan questioned himself morally, that bright smile directed at other men, that sweet voice talking sweet nothings to other men.

It indeed made him somewhat uncomfortable.

After taking a bath, Qi Zhenghan took a wine glass and a bottle of red wine from the rack, pouring for himself.

Last year, in the latter half, he had been in a relationship with Zhang Mengmeng and indeed had felt very good.

Everything seemed fine until Zhang Mengmeng asked him if he liked Teacher He.

Teacher He?

The Teacher He that Zhang Mengmeng was referring to was He Tiantian.

He was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and said he liked her.

Zhang Mengmeng was very disappointed, but after careful consideration, decided to break up with him.

Breakup.

It was the first time he had been rejected.

No, it wasn’t the first rejection, but the second.

The first was by He Tiantian.

Only this time, being rejected by Zhang Mengmeng was different from the last time he was rejected by He Tiantian, because he had unrequited love for He Tiantian, who did not like him back.

But Zhang Mengmeng liked him, so why would she break up with him?

Just because he said he liked He Tiantian?

Yes, that was probably the reason.

She was a stubborn girl, how could she tolerate her boyfriend liking someone else?

Even when faced with Zhang Mengmeng’s question, Qi Zhenghan believed he liked He Tiantian.

But this time, when he saw He Tiantian again, the anticipation and excitement in his heart didn’t feel as intense as before.

This feeling made him somewhat anxious.

At the same time, he felt depressed.

He didn’t know why.

Was it because of Huo Yingjie?

Qi Zhenghan thought of that man who had played chess with him for two hours, barely exchanging more than three words.

Extremely annoying!

He remained silent, pretending to be profound!

Similarly, in Huo Yingjie’s heart, he also criticized Qi Zhenghan for not being communicative, deserving the many setbacks he faced emotionally.

Unknowingly, Qi Zhenghan had almost finished a bottle of wine and felt a bit dizzy. In his haze, he seemed to see He Tiantian, although her image was fading, morphing into Zhang Mengmeng’s.

They were strolling on a shaded path lined with green trees.

They were visiting various scenic spots in Nan City.

Even though Zhang Mengmeng wasn’t from Nan City, she had looked up a lot of information so that she could properly introduce him to the famous historical sites there.

They kept tasting the delicacies of Nan City.

Many places they visited were ones he would never go to on his own.

Her laughter grew more frequent and more beautiful...

Later, Qi Zhenghan dozed off on the couch, his face lit with a smile from the pleasant dreams.

The next morning, when Qi Zhengmin came to look for her brother, she found him asleep on the couch, reeking of alcohol.

"Brother, you drank again?" Qi Zhengmin asked anxiously, "Why don’t you take better care of your health? Grandma and our parents would be so heartbroken if they knew!"

"It’s okay, I was just thinking about some things yesterday and drank a bit more," Qi Zhenghan said, "I figured some things out, so I indulged a little."

Qi Zhengmin paused, then asked softly, "Brother, what did you figure out?"

"Haha, you’re still young, you don’t need to know," Qi Zhenghan ruffled his sister’s hair, choosing not to share his romantic problems with her.

Once everything was settled, Qi Zhenghan wanted to leave as soon as possible to return to Nan City and clarify things with Zhang Mengmeng. He wanted to pursue a serious relationship with the intention of marriage with Zhang Mengmeng.

Qi Zhengmin, following behind Qi Zhenghan, wondered whether she should bring up that matter sooner.

Might as well wait.

After all, business here was very important. If her brother and Zhang Mengeng were meant to be, they would end up together after all the twists and turns.

Sister Tiantian and her husband took ten years to come together.

Ugh... they were supposedly betrothed from a young age...

Indeed, a bit early.

After showering and changing his clothes, Qi Zhenghan went down with Qi Zhengmin for breakfast, hoping to quickly handle affairs in Yanjing and return to Nan City soon.

Qi Zhenghan took Qi Zhengmin to visit the Huo Family Old Mansion, where Huo Yingjun personally welcomed them.

In recent times, Old Master Tang had been hovering around Old Master Huo, partly trying to get closer to the Huo Family, and partly trying to understand why the Huo family was prospering so well.

Old Master Tang, a scholar by background, although having fought in wars when he was young, mostly served as a chief of staff, priding himself on being a smart man; yet, he realized that he couldn’t outwit Old Master Huo, the so-called unsophisticated man.

That left him utterly perplexed.

That day, the Qi Family siblings came to visit.

After finishing his game of chess, Old Master Tang left.

He vaguely heard about car sales, Nan City, apparently having to do with selling cars in Yanjing. Though not well-versed in business, he knew that with bicycles prevalent now, economic reform policies encouraging the wealthy to uplift the less fortunate would likely make many people rich.

Once people have money, they naturally improve their basic necessities!

Having improved the first three, transport was certainly next in line to better.

Bicycles would be replaced by cars.

Yes, exactly.

Thinking about his son’s divorce turning him into a penniless man made Old Master Tang feel quite stifled!

However, some things you strive to gain require sacrifices.

There’s no reward without sacrifice.

Lately, although his son wasn’t very talkative, he smiled more than before and ate dinner at home every day, spending time with his elderly parents, which was much better than before.
