Chapter 633 Breakup, School Anniversary

There was a muffled sound of "dong".

Liu Qingning staggered suddenly, one hand slamming heavily onto the solid mahogany dining table, while the other hand tightly covered her head.

My migraines, which had just disappeared for a month, came back in a tidal wave.

"Lime!"

Su Yu's expression was instantly replaced by panic.

She rushed forward and caught Liu Qingning's swaying body, her voice filled with immense panic: "What's wrong with you?!"

She could clearly feel that Liu Qingning's body was trembling slightly, her forehead was covered with a fine layer of cold sweat, and her face was frighteningly pale.

She impulsively came because Tang Song was going to meet Jin Meixiao next month.

If... if something really happens to Liu Qingning because of my provocation and instigation.

That's all!
"I'll call an ambulance right now! Wait for me!"

Su Yu hurriedly took her phone out of her bag, but her arm was gripped tightly by a cold hand.

Liu Qingning looked at her, and in her eyes, which were somewhat unfocused due to the intense pain, burned an unprecedented, stubborn flame.

She spoke with difficulty, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth:
"I...I'm fine...just a migraine, an old problem, it'll be fine soon. What...what exactly did you mean just now? Director Kim? How...how could she?"

In her already constructed and difficult worldview—

She and Tang Song shared a deep and unparalleled relationship that lasted for over a decade.

Later, a charming and gentle woman suddenly appeared, and after struggling, she forced herself to try to accept her.

Later, she unexpectedly discovered Su Yu's existence.

She sees him as the strongest and ultimate rival in her long-term relationship. Although she is afraid and timid, she is secretly mustering her courage and preparing to face him bravely.

But now, Su Yu tells her that the real "big devil" is someone else.

Who is Kim Mi-so?
She already knew about it during her university years.

Entrepreneur of the Year 2018, a representative of young business leaders, featured on the cover of Time magazine, with an investment portfolio spanning the globe, and an ever-present "smile"...

Of course, the reason she was so frightened by Su Yu's words was also because...

She already knew that Tang Song and Jin Meixiao knew each other.

Behind companies like Qingning Technology and Tangzong Entertainment lies the shadow of Smile Holdings.

After graduating from university, Tang Song's first company was Meigou Technology, whose chairman at the time was Jin Meixiao.

And then there's Qin Yingxue, whose attitude is ambiguous...

She had suspected before that there must be a secret hidden behind this that she was unaware of.

But she thought it at most involved some kind of cutting-edge technological innovation, or a deeper level of capital cooperation.

I never dared to imagine that Tang Song and Jin Meixiao would have a different kind of relationship.

Su Yu reached out and massaged her temples, her voice full of worry: "Let's go to the hospital first, and we can talk about this again when you've calmed down, okay?"

She couldn't bear the accusation of "persecuting" Tang and Song's beloved, nor did she dare to take any further risks.

"No! I need to know now!" Liu Qingning's voice suddenly rose, tinged with a hint of hysterical stubbornness. "Tell me! I have to know!"

"This..." Su Yu looked at her eyes, which were almost burning with anger, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Tang Song and Jin Meixiao met in 2016. They co-founded Smile Holdings... The reason I impulsively did those wrong things to you is ultimately because of Jin Meixiao. She has been threatening me, preventing me from getting close to Tang Song..."

Then, Su Yu began to narrate in a low voice.

From her perspective, Kim Mi-so is an absolutely ruthless and vicious demon.

Because of Tang Song's past close relationship with her, Jin Meixiao targeted her in every way, repeatedly suppressing and "persecuting" her.

From forcibly pushing forward the capital restructuring and IPO process of [Tangzong Entertainment], causing her to lose some control of the company; to arranging that almost maddening, intensive global concert tour, exhausting her energy; and then signing a series of time-consuming and labor-intensive commercial endorsements for her in Tang Song's name, which she did not want to accept...

Liu Qingning listened blankly, her lips pressed tightly together, without uttering a word.

I even seem to have forgotten about migraines.

When Su Yu finally stopped speaking, the private room fell into a deathly silence.

She murmured as if in a dream, "Do you... have any evidence?"

Su Yu paused, seemingly expecting her to ask that question. She took out her phone, unlocked the screen, opened a photo she had prepared beforehand, and gently placed it in front of Liu Qingning.

Liu Qingning slowly lowered her head.

The background of the photo is an office that appears to be extremely private, with a sophisticated and luxurious decor.

Tang Song sat upright behind a large desk, holding a fountain pen in his hand, his posture elegant and relaxed.

The renowned Director Kim, dressed in his signature business attire, stood quietly beside him, looking at him with gentle and focused gaze.

She stared blankly at Tang Song in the photo.

That must have been what he looked like in his sophomore year of college, with a youthful spirit still on his face—the look she was most familiar with.

But his gaze...

Those eyes, which were always filled with sunshine and smiles, were now unusually sharp, deep, and even carried a hint of unfamiliar indifference belonging to someone in a superior position.

It was as if he were the true master of that room.

Seeing Liu Qingning's empty and unfocused eyes due to the huge impact, Su Yu's heart tightened suddenly.

They were worried that the other party might actually be provoked into doing something bad.

She put away her phone and leaned forward slightly. "To be honest, I am indeed jealous of you. Not just me, I believe Jin Meixiao is jealous of you too."

Liu Qingning slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

A complex emotion flickered in Su Yu's amber eyes.

"Because Tang and Song are completely different to you, the most special one."

"To us, he is a master strategist, mysterious and unpredictable. He always wears a mask, and you can never see through his true self."

"But only in front of you will he shed all his pretenses and halos, becoming vibrant and pure."

"He would set aside all those awe-inspiring achievements and approach you with the most authentic, even somewhat clumsy, identity of a 'Tang and Song dynasty' figure. From high school to university, and later to the capital..."

"Qingning, what you possess is his most precious and untainted original aspiration. I'm jealous of you, insanely jealous. That's why I did those wrong things after being repeatedly suppressed and provoked by Jin Meixiao..."

Su Yu's voice grew softer and softer, tears welled up in her eyes, and sobs began to rise.

The expressions on her face showed pain, vulnerability, dishevelment, and grievance.

This superstar revealed her most heartbreaking side.

Liu Qingning lowered her head and remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Miss Su Yu... what you've said... is too much information. I'm sorry, my mind is very confused right now, and I want to be alone for a while."

"Are you sure you don't need me to go to the hospital with you?"

"I do not need it, thank you."

Seeing her expression, Su Yu wiped away her tears and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I won't bother you any longer. I came here this time to get to know you beforehand, since we'll be meeting again in Shanghai. I hope we can become close friends in the future."

After saying that, she picked up her bag, put on her sunglasses, and turned to leave the private room.

The heavy door closed gently behind me, instantly cutting off all the light from the room.

The moment I stepped out of the executive dining room.

The sadness, vulnerability, and guilt on Su Yu's face vanished completely like the tide.

The actress's performance has come to an end.

"Sister Yu." Personal assistant Cheng Xiaoxi quickly came to greet her.

Su Yu nodded slightly. "Let's go see Wen Ruan."

……

The capital city, the financial district, and the brightly lit skyscrapers.

Several solemn-looking security personnel first passed through the glass revolving door and quickly stood on both sides of the entrance.

His eyes scanned the surroundings warily, clearing an invisible passage.

Following closely behind was a group of men and women in suits, exuding a powerful aura.

Surrounded by the crowd, Secretary Kim slowly appeared.

She wore a dark gray double-faced cashmere coat over a simple turtleneck sweater, which accentuated her perfect shoulder and neck lines and fair skin.

"Click——"

The rear doors of the Maybach were gently opened.

Secretary Kim nodded slightly to the people behind her and gracefully got into the car.

The car started smoothly and silently merged into the river of traffic on Chang'an Avenue.

The car interior was comfortably warm and quiet.

Shangguan Qiuyue turned slightly to the side, her voice steady and respectful as she said:

"Director Jin, Tian Jing arrived in Beijing this afternoon and has successfully taken over the relevant affairs of Jingyi Asset Management."

At the same time, she asked me to meet with you regarding her job transfer.

As far as I know, this matter was personally arranged by President Tang.

Secretary Kim leaned back in the large, soft leather chair, her lips flat. "Then let's set it for tomorrow. You can arrange the specific time."

“Okay.” Shangguan Qiuyue continued her report while taking notes, “In Shenzhen, Chairman Ouyang had his first formal meeting with Ms. Wen Ruan this morning at the Tangyi Precision branch. The two had lunch together and the meeting lasted for nearly three hours.”

She had already prepared all the details about their meeting—

She recounted the details she had prepared beforehand one by one—from the duration of the conversation and the changes in her expression when she left, to Wenru's subsequent itinerary.

Secretary Kim's curled eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she were deep in thought, and she responded softly, "Hmm."

Shangguan Qiuyue lowered her voice, "There's one more thing. Just now, Su Yu and the employees of Tangzong Entertainment went to Qingning Technology to officially meet with Liu Qingning."

After the meeting, Liu Qingning seemed very emotionally unstable, staying alone in the private room for a long time. She should have already returned to her residence by now.

Hear this.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Kim sat up slightly, her eyes clear, and a cryptic smile appeared on her lips.

It seems this was expected.

After a moment's thought, she said calmly, "Inform Qin Yingxue that if Liu Qingning wants to interfere in the personnel matters of Qingning Technology, let her do as she pleases. Also, hint to her about the importance of Tangyi Precision to Tang Song."

"clear."

“And—” Secretary Kim’s gaze drifted to the rapidly receding night view outside the window, her tone remaining calm, “Have her participate in the Xuanji Light Realm project as much as possible.”

Shangguan Qiuyue tentatively asked, "Received. As for Tian Jing, our original plan was..."

"Since President Tang has other plans for her, let's cancel all the previous plans."

Shangguan Qiuyue responded and handed over the tablet, "These are the materials you asked me to compile."

Secretary Kim casually took it, her fingertips lightly sliding across the screen, eventually stopping on a photograph.

The woman in the photo has a beautiful face and a gentle temperament.

Shangguan Qiuyue, standing to the side, offered timely supplementary explanation: "...Songmei Apparel's Double Eleven promotion was a great success, with monthly sales about to exceed 1 million yuan. The first step in branding has been firmly established. Ms. Gao Mengting, as the company's executive vice president, played a crucial role throughout the process. Her abilities in both team management and strategic execution are outstanding."

After looking at it for a moment, Secretary Jin suddenly looked up and asked a question that Shangguan Qiuyue had not expected:
"Don't you think she looks a bit like me?"

Shangguan Qiuyue glanced at the photo on the screen, paused slightly, and immediately said, "Her appearance does resemble yours somewhat, but she is not as...refined and elegant as you. In terms of figure and temperament, she is also quite different."

She paused, then continued flattering him in a statement of fact tone:
"Furthermore, I've noticed that the name of the clothing brand 'Songmei,' which Ms. Tang co-founded with her, and the visual style of the brand 'HEYI STUDIO,' seem to be inextricably linked to your aesthetic preferences."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Kim's lips curved into a shallower smile.

Looking at Gao Mengting on the screen, and then flipping through the photos behind her, a deep and unfathomable light appeared in his eyes.

An absolute silence fell over the carriage.

After a long time.

Secretary Kim finally looked away and casually put the tablet aside.

Look out the window.

The dazzling night view of the capital city flowed past the car window, casting shimmering light on her exquisitely beautiful face. ...

November 17, 2023, Friday, sunny, 0~13℃.

It's 5:30 in the morning.

Tang Song slowly opened his eyes, a faint fragrance lingering around his nose.

In the darkness, Gao Mengting's even and long breathing could be heard beside him.

The two worked overtime until 10 p.m. last night, and he took the opportunity to invite the other party to Yanjingtian City.

His partner, who had opened his heart to him, hesitated for only a moment before agreeing.

That night, the two played two more games of ball in the room, on and off.

The partner was always incredibly excited, fully engaged and enthusiastic, but unfortunately, he was too inexperienced, and could only last a maximum of ten minutes.

Tang Song pinched her cheek, tiptoed out of bed, and changed into the [Outfit - Unlimited Vitality] sportswear set.

Come to the living room.

Outside the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, the moon still hangs high in the sky, and Yancheng remains asleep.

We've just started warming up.

"Ding ding ding~~" The WeChat video call ringtone sounded.

【Lime】

Tang Song smiled and immediately pressed the answer button.

Liu Qingning's familiar face instantly filled the entire screen.

Her long, smooth hair was unusually styled into a neat bun, revealing her smooth, full forehead, making her look exceptionally cute.

"Good morning, Qingning, why are you up so early today?"

Because winter is approaching and the days are getting longer, Liu Qingning has been getting up much later lately.

"I couldn't sleep, so I got up." Liu Qingning moved her phone so that her entire upper body appeared on the screen.

She was wearing only a tight-fitting black tank top, which perfectly outlined the contours of her ample and full breasts.

Tang Song's gaze was involuntarily drawn in.

The contrast between Bai Yueguang's pure and lovely face and the domineering Da E is too strong.

"How have you been lately? It's getting colder in the south, have you gotten sick?"

"No, it's fine." Liu Qingning's voice was a little dry, and she seemed unaware of his gaze as she walked straight towards the dressing room.

"That's good. Your body is rather weak, so you should take extra care of yourself."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes before exercising."

Liu Qingning said something and casually placed her phone on a cabinet in the dressing room, with the camera pointing directly at her upper body.

Then, she bent down and began to take off her pajama bottoms.

Because of the angle, Tang Song couldn't see her lower body, but could see the breathtaking curve created by the black tank top under her when she bent over, and the black underwear that was faintly visible on her waist.

This is actually more tempting than seeing it directly.

Tang Song's breathing became rapid, his eyes fixed on the white moonlight on the screen.

Immediately, Liu Qingning turned around, with her back to the camera, and began to take off her black tank top.

The screen in front of Tang Song was instantly covered by a large expanse of fair and smooth skin.

Liu Qingning picked up a set of off-white sportswear from the clothes rack next to her and began to put it on slowly.

Her full, ample breasts, unrestrained, traced a dazzling arc with her movements.

Because of the large number of fine branches, many outlines can be seen even from behind.

Tang Song's breathing became completely disordered, and he lost all interest in continuing to exercise.

"Lime, your sportswear is too thin. It's cold outside, you'll catch a cold. Why don't you change into something thicker? I'll help you pick one out, okay?"

"not good."

Liu Qingning ignored him and turned around to fix her clothes in front of the mirror.

Then, she picked up her phone and went to the treadmill in the corner of the living room.

I set up the camera and started jogging at a steady pace.

Tang Song suppressed his restlessness and continued exercising with her.

Time slipped away little by little in this silent yet tacit companionship.

After half an hour.

Liu Qingning's movements slowly came to a stop.

She walked in front of the camera, bent over slightly, placed her hands on her knees, and gasped for breath.

Sweat, like morning dew, seeped from her smooth forehead and full nose.

Following the defined jawline, it slid down, disappearing into the soaked sports bra, her whole body radiating an alluring, glistening sheen.

It made Tang and Song dynasties' blood boil.

He said directly, "Tomorrow is your birthday. I'm going to Shenzhen to be with you. It's been so long since we last met. I miss you so much."

Liu Qingning slowly straightened up, looked at him on the screen, and suddenly said, "No need, Tang Song."

"Huh?" Tang Song was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, "What do you mean? What's wrong with you?"

Liu Qingning did not speak.

She just watched him quietly.

Then, without warning, glistening tears rolled down the cheeks of those stubborn eyes that always held a light.

She didn't cry out loud, but silently shed tears, her face streaked with tears.

Tang Song's expression froze, his heart feeling as if it were being gripped tightly by a hand.

He tried to soften his voice as he said, "Qingning, don't cry, tell me what happened?"

Liu Qingning bit her cherry lips and said clearly, word by word, "Let's break up, Tang Song."

Look into her eyes.

Tang Song instantly realized that Bai Yueguang was serious.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Song asked in a low voice, "What happened? What's going on? Tell me!"

"pat-"

Liu Qingning immediately turned off the video call.

Tang Song's brow twitched violently. He immediately called back, but the call was rejected.

I dialed again, and was rejected again.

A strong sense of unease gripped his heart. Tang Song quickly found Liu Qingning's phone number and dialed it directly.

"Dududu-"

The phone rang for a very long time, and just when he thought it was going to be hung up again, it was finally answered.

Tang Song said directly, "I'll set off for Shenzhen to find you right now."

Suddenly, a soft laugh with a heavy nasal tone came from the other end of the phone.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Qingning said in a joking tone, "Hehe, look how anxious you are. I just... dreamed last night that you bullied me, so I wanted to tease you this morning."

Tang Song didn't laugh. "This joke isn't funny at all."

"Okay, okay, I know, Xiao Song, I won't do it again." Liu Qingning's voice became soft and sweet again, as if she was coquettish. "I have a surprise to tell you. I bought the plane tickets a few days ago. The flight is this afternoon, departing from Shenzhen and going directly to Jinan. I want to spend this birthday with you in our hometown."

"Are you going back to Jinan?"

"Hmm, I suddenly miss home, and there's something else..." Her voice carried a hint of anticipation and nostalgia, "After my birthday, it will be the 50th anniversary of our No. 1 Middle School."

Teacher Li called me a few days ago and insisted that I go back to participate, so I couldn't refuse.

How about we go back to our alma mater together and relive some old memories, okay? Silly Song!

Hearing this familiar title, unique to his high school days, Tang Song's heart fluttered slightly.

He paused for a moment, then softened his voice: "Okay, it's true that we haven't been back to our alma mater together for many years."

"Okay! It's settled then. I'm going to go pack my things now, bye-bye."

"Bye-Bye."

Even after hanging up the phone, Tang Song couldn't completely let go of his worries.

He knew her too well.

The ideal woman is always mature and rational.

Even when joking in the most intimate moments, they would never use words like "break up" to test each other.

Something must have happened behind the scenes that he doesn't know about.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, frowning and deep in thought for a long time.

Tang Song sighed.

However, we can only clarify this matter in person when we meet.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he opened QQ and scrolled through the screen with his fingertips.

My gaze finally fell on a group chat that was set to Do Not Disturb.

[Jingxian No.1 Middle School Alumni Group]

This was added when he went back to his hometown last time and triggered the [Light Feather of Memory] event at the No. 1 High School. (Chapter 362)
I hardly ever opened it after that.

Once you click in, there are so many messages that you can't see the end of them.

He casually scrolled up and soon saw the discussion about the school anniversary.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of Jingxian No.1 Middle School, and the scale of the celebration is much higher than in previous years.

The invitation list not only included outstanding alumni and retired teachers from previous years, but also leaders from the education authorities and many well-known figures in society.

In some of the pre-release promotional materials, Tang Song saw many familiar names.

They were all shining stars in high school.

Among them was Liu Qingning, the top science student of 2016.

However, in the school's records, Liu Qingning's name is still listed as "co-founder of Century Wisdom".

After all, she hasn't been with Qingning Technology for very long.

Tang Song, who was not particularly outstanding in high school, was naturally not on the "special invitation" list.

He stared at the familiar campus photos and the faces that gradually blurred and then reappeared, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welling up inside him.

He also harbored extremely complex feelings towards No. 1 Middle School.

That was the place where he gave his all, was most passionate, and also the place with the most regrets during his youth.

Thankfully, I finally gained the ability to make up for my regrets.

He slowly closed his eyes, and the whole world fell silent.

Before my eyes, it's as if the girl in the blue and white school uniform, with her neat high ponytail and bangs, is reappearing.

She would tilt her head, gently tap his forehead with the pen, and mutter reproachfully, "Silly Xiao Song."

Then, patiently, again and again, he explained the complex physics problems to him.

Even across so many years of hazy time, he could still seem to smell the clean scent of her, a mixture of faint shampoo fragrance and chalk dust under the sunlight.

That was the taste of his entire youth.
