Chapter 30 Sympathy (3K)

Gu Qing's voice was very low.

Especially in a lively and noisy banquet, the sound is as faint as a mosquito, like a drop of water flowing into the boundless ocean and disappearing in an instant.

But it really became quiet here.

In fact, it was the big bag that Gu Qing threw out first that attracted everyone's attention, causing them to look down unconsciously and fall silent before they could hear his words clearly.

They looked at the red banknotes scattered on the ground.

Each stack is worth 10,000 yuan.

Based on the number of stacks that fell out of the bag and the number that remained in the bag, a rough estimate is that the total should be four or five hundred thousand.

Then they looked up and looked at each other, seeing the doubt, confusion, and a hint of...

funny.

What is this fuss about?
Birthday gift for Li Shiying?

Although a birthday gift worth four or five hundred thousand is indeed expensive.

After all, the gifts given by the people present were worth either tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

But a gift is a gift, and cash is cash.

The concepts and meanings of the two are completely different.

Something to say.

The former is a friend's intention, the latter is pure interest...

No one would be stupid enough not to be friends with Li Shiying and choose a purely interest-based relationship.

If the value of the gift is too high, it is easy for the so-called intention to be spoiled.

So, it’s not that hundreds of thousands are unaffordable, but tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands are more cost-effective.

After all, this mere 500,000 yuan is just some people's monthly pocket money.

The huge sum of money that would make ordinary people jealous, in the eyes of these girls and boys, is really a bit...

negligible.

Besides, Gu Qing's way of giving gifts...

Are the local gangs too rude?

Although they all saw that Gu Qing's relationship with Li Shiying was not simple, it was most likely that he was her ex-boyfriend.

But let alone the ex-boyfriend, even if it was the current boyfriend or even the husband, it was not a reason to make a scene at Li Shiying’s birthday party on her birthday!
Where does this put the reputation of Li Shiying and her mother Li Qingyan?

Therefore, everyone silently judged Gu Qing's behavior in their hearts and sentenced him to death.

The ex-boyfriend who was suspected to have broken up with Li Shiying tried to save the relationship and chose the most effective way for the show.

If this wasn't Li Shiying's birthday party, I'm afraid someone would not be able to help but take out their mobile phones, record the screen and post it on Douyin.

This must be the episode with the most comments and likes.

Thinking of this, everyone turned to look at Li Shiying, and they had already imagined how ugly her face would be at this moment.

However, when they saw the expression on Li Shiying's face, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Because Li Shiying, who was always calm and self-possessed in front of their elders, looked as pale as death at this moment...

Li Shiying stared blankly at the five hundred thousand in front of her.

She was so sure that the amount in the bag was five hundred thousand not because she heard Gu Qing's words.

In fact, she only heard Gu Qing's last words.

"Miss Li".

Yes, he must know his identity, otherwise he would not have been able to find this place.

but……

Where did this five hundred thousand come from?
She and Song Ruoli knew very well that Gu Qing could not possibly have 500,000 yuan. He had no concept of saving money at all.

This is also what she and Song Ruoli want.

That is what Gu Qing would do when he was unable to support her financially.

To some extent, this reduces the difficulty.

Because Gu Qing really couldn't come up with 500,000.

Just like a butterfly cannot fly across the ocean, who would have the heart to blame it?

Her and Song Ruoli's original purpose was to see if Gu Qing could provide emotional value and support.

Just one sentence "Don't be afraid, I'm here" is enough.

But she and Song Ruoli already knew the ending of the story. In fact, she had experienced this cruel fact many times in her dreams these days.

Gu Qing had no intention of sharing the hardship with her. When he found out that she was bankrupt and needed $500,000, he chose the worst possible way: disappearing and cutting off contact with her.

His actions made all of her arguments against Song Ruoli for him seem like a joke.

It also proves one thing.

Gu Qing doesn't love Li Shiying at all.

Originally, after digesting these days, Li Shiying had gradually accepted this fact and planned to put aside the thoughts of love and focus all her attention on business until she was successful and famous, and then pick up the relationship again. It's perfect, really perfect...

If Gu Qing hadn't suddenly appeared in front of her and thrown...

If it's five hundred thousand dollars that I don't need at all.

In an instant, indescribable doubts and puzzles pierced into Li Shiying's brain like silver needles, but there was no pain at all, only a blankness.

She has lost the ability to think, so how can she feel pain?

Perhaps a second had passed, or perhaps a very long time had passed before Li Shiying came back to her senses little by little. The pricking sensation finally came over her like a tide, as if she was in a small boat in the middle of the ocean. A wave of water would knock her over and slowly sink her into an endless, dark, suffocating abyss...

Calm down, Li Shiying, calm down.

Li Shiying kept repeating this sentence in her heart, and the watery eyes on her pretty face finally regained a little focus.

Then she began to frantically try to sort out her thoughts and logic in her mind.

Yes, yes, she should first find out where the 500,000 yuan came from...

She opened her mouth, and a bloody smell suddenly rushed up her throat, making her unable to make a sound.

At this moment, Li Shiying recalled the sports meet in high school, where she competed for the honor of the 1,500-meter race for the entire class.

She clearly remembered that when she was only one or two hundred meters away from completing the race, her throat felt exactly like this, as if the skin on her throat was being tortured.

Li Shiying suddenly thought that just now she saw Gu Qing opening and closing his mouth again and again but no sound came out. Did he feel the same as her at that time?

Li Shiying suddenly felt better.

Perhaps she thought that she still had a connection with Gu Qing.

At least it's the same in that we can't speak, isn't it?

In the end, Qingqing finally spoke. She should have endured the severe pain and said something.

Come on, come on, say something, you stupid mouth!
It was as if if I didn't say something, I would never have the chance to speak again...

Finally, Li Shiying tore open her throat like Gu Qing: "Qing, Qingqing..."

No, the voice is too low and Gu Qing can't hear it at all.

She should walk over, get in front of him and talk to him.

Li Shiying wanted to take a step forward, but found that her legs seemed to be filled with lead, as if she was weighed down by a heavy weight, and she couldn't move even a little.

A strong sour feeling surged from all over the body.

At this moment, Li Shiying seemed to be really back on the runway.

However, the difference was that she, who was originally in first place, seemed to be fixed in place. She could only watch her opponents behind her catch up with her, surpass her, and leave her far behind until she became the last one.

And those teachers and classmates who were waiting to greet her at the finish line with full of anticipation and excitement, all showed indescribable disappointment on their faces, and then turned and left the end of the runway.

The suffocating feeling of having others' hopes dashed filled Li Shiying's heart, but it was actually not that bad.

What really made her despair was that the last person standing there was Gu Qing.

But now, he seems to be leaving there too...

Driven by fear, Li Shiying regained control of her body and took a step forward.

However, before she could be happy, the group of people in front of her suddenly disappeared. She kept lowering her head, but in the end Gu Qing disappeared from her sight.

Then, what came into Li Shiying's eyes was an endless starry sky.

Even at the speed of light, what is transmitted is only the residual image of this starry sky from who knows how many years ago.

They are stars, always the same, unchanging, and existing there forever.

Perhaps one day, they will go out and die, but that will have nothing to do with these tiny humans who can only live for a hundred years at most.

But at this moment, this galaxy was flowing rapidly in front of Li Shiying, and the stars were shifting...

"what--"

Amidst the shock and screams of the crowd, Li Shiying fell backwards, taking with her the dozen-story sweet cake tower that collapsed!

The noise here was so loud that the adults in the other area heard it and looked over, and their hearts skipped a beat.

They are not afraid of any accidents that may have happened, but they are afraid that their children may be the cause of the accident.

If that happens, the relationships they have worked so hard to build might be in trouble.

"Everyone keep chatting, I'll go see what's going on."

A gentle voice sounded, like a clear spring, calming the restlessness in the hearts of many people.

Everyone looked up and saw that Li Qingyan was elegant and dignified in her black dress, but she did not seem to overshadow her mature face at all.

The only thing that was a little surprising was perhaps the facial features, which were not as gentle as her voice, but instead seemed extremely aggressive.

She seemed to have some similarities in temperament with Lin Yuwei who was present...

Eh?
Where is General Lin?

They subconsciously looked for Lin Yuwei, but couldn't find her in the corner where she was originally standing.

After expanding the search range, they finally found a beautiful figure as warm as fire in the area where their children were playing.

She stood there, still holding a glass of red wine in her delicate hands, and her red lips curled up in a beautiful arc, as if she had seen some wonderful scene.
