Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 174 Lin Qingruan x Mo Yucheng: That man can't be with me forever

She is not a bad singer, but her level was a little off that day, and she missed several notes. When she came out, she hugged her assistant and cried, saying miserably that her acting career was blocked, and now her singing career was also out of the question.

This was the first time that Lin Qingruan cried without restraint.

She thought that she had laughed and cried for a man, and this relationship was worth it.

One evening, Zhao Meihua suddenly woke up from her sleep, held her hand and asked her why she had not been to school during this period.

Lin Qingruan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question.

In her aunt's heart, she has always been a good student with excellent character and academic performance, and she is praised more often than her own son.

But Zhao Meihua probably didn't know what kind of bad character was hidden under her deliberately good appearance. She was vain, greedy for wealth, and wanted to seize every opportunity to climb up.

She wanted her aunt to no longer be trapped in her small family, and she wanted to free herself from her family of gamblers. Why should people be determined by class from birth? She didn't want to follow her fate of poverty and destitution.

But after this trip to the entertainment industry, Lin Qingruan suddenly felt very tired.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head and used her mobile phone to pay the full cost of the surgery. Her savings were cleared, as if the clock of life had returned to its original place. She still answered questions obediently.

"I've asked for leave from my teacher, and I'll be back to school after a while."

Zhao Meihua held her hand and said earnestly: "Don't always come to take care of me. This is not your responsibility. You have finally been admitted to university, so you should study hard and find a good boyfriend to get married. Auntie still wants to see you happy."

Lin Qingruan hummed, took the kettle and went to the tea room to boil some water.

She walked forward with her head down. Her aunt would never know that she had met a very bad man a long time ago. He hugged her under the neon lights and promised her a lifetime of love, but he broke the promise within a few months.

Fortunately, she didn't believe it.

Lin Qingruan sighed deeply and looked up at the sky. It was pitch black without any light coming through. If she really didn't believe it, then for whom had she been shedding tears for no reason these days?

The phone in his coat pocket vibrated, and Lin Qingruan subconsciously thought it was an invitation from the agency, so he pressed the answer button.

There was no sound from the other end for a long time, so long that Lin Qingruan was surprised and stepped back to take a look at the dial interface.

No signed number.

But she knew it by heart.

Lin Qingruan hated this sense of familiarity that was ingrained into her bones.

She asked almost stiffly: "What do you want from me?"

Mo Yucheng parked his car downstairs and looked up to see the lights on in every room in the inpatient area.

He thought of the reports he had received in the past few days. There were no empty beds in the hospital, and the little girl had to sleep alone on a bench. She had to get up from time to time in the middle of the night to keep an eye on her infusion. In less than half a month, she had lost a lot of weight.

"You've been wronged." Mo Yucheng said, "Come down, I'll wait for you downstairs."

"No, it's my own fault." Lin Qingruan smiled slightly, "Thank you for supporting me and fulfilling my dream of becoming a star. But now you are getting married, and I have been infamous these days. I got beaten for nothing, so I don't think I owe you anything."

"I'm a little tired. It's time to turn back."

"Return from the lost path?"

Mo Yucheng sneered, with a natural arrogance in his bones, "Lin Qingruan, do you think I can only be with you?"

Lin Qingruan hung up the phone. This was the first time she hung up on him.

Before the day she was kicked out of the hospital, Lin Qingruan felt that classes could be crossed. The world's wealth was concentrated in the hands of a few people, and she would work hard to get to the top.

But that day all her naive and ridiculous ideas were shattered. The social classes were like the general rules that could never be broken. She lived at the mercy of others and was destined to be crushed like an ant.

She didn't want to play with this group of people anymore. She had made enough money and had gained fame. She withdrew from the game soberly and rationally. Liang Shu had given her many warnings, and the crew had received razor blades sent to them before.

Lin Qingruan had no chance to play with them.

She opened the window of the pantry, stood at the window with her arms folded, and watched the car slowly drive out of the parking lot and disappear from the traces of her life.
-
Lin Qingruan took a year off from school and went back to school. She did nothing during that year. She stayed at home without going out. She threw her cell phone on the sofa and left it turned off after forgetting to charge it. She was oblivious to any information on the Internet and deliberately blocked all her senses.

Later, it was a class reunion that Jian Yi attended that opened her closed heart.

She met an old friend at this party, or should be called her one-sided old friend. To Meng Ze, she had no name or surname, and was even mistaken for Jian Yi when they first met.

Before leaving, Lin Qingruan waved at him, her tone lighter than ever before, "Actually, my name is Lin Qingruan."

She secretly guessed Meng Ze's reaction in her heart. Maybe he would be stunned for a while and think about who Lin Qingruan was. Or maybe he would just react indifferently and have no curiosity at all about who she was.

But she never expected that Meng Ze would bend down and smile at her.

He said, "So it's you, the one who cheered the loudest at the basketball game."

Lin Qingruan's cheeks flushed slightly. She didn't expect that they would meet, and she didn't expect that he would remember that basketball game.

She thought it was her own noise.

I had further contact with Meng Ze during the summer vacation. That year, my aunt was discharged from the hospital and went home, and Meng Ze happened to give them a ride home.

There were only a few people in the town, and after chatting for a while, they found that they were old acquaintances. Zhao Meihua and Meng Ze's mother went to the same primary school when they were young.

The fate was thus rooted. Before leaving, Zhao Meihua pushed Lin Qingruan, motioning her to see him off.

"We're not at the age of getting married yet, so it's not bad to get in touch with each other first."

Lin Qingruan pursed her lips and did not move.

She said, "I have no intention of falling in love for the time being, aunt."

"You want to become a nun at such a young age?" Zhao Meihua glared at her. "Anyway, I won't die until I see you get married."

"Isn't that better? My aunt can stay with me forever."

Lin Qingruan was laughing and joking indifferently. Zhao Meihua felt helpless and sighed when she heard her words. In the end, she grabbed her hand and said with great sadness, "Aunt can't be with you forever."

Lin Qingruan was still laughing and her emotions were not visible. She said with a smile, "That man can't be with me forever."

Let’s stop talking about love here.

Lin Qingruan moved a bench and sat in the yard to pick vegetables. There was a script next to her, which was a variety show that Huang Rong had arranged for her some time ago.

As soon as the news of Mo Yucheng's engagement came out, she became the target of public criticism. Fortunately, the two of them never had a substantial relationship on the surface, and the media and entertainment news spread quickly, so Lin Qingruan's career was not affected at all.

However, Huang Rong still suggested that she take a rest for a while, as there was no guarantee that Miss Liang would take action.
