Huayu96: My Thirty Years of a Prodigal Son

The security door closed, and Sister Zhao's footsteps gradually faded away in the hallway.

Qin Sheng leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his temples.

Just then, the door to the second bedroom creaked open.

It's Yuan Quan.

Just now in the bedroom, she had been listening to the conversation between the two people outside, her ear pressed against the door.

With a complicated expression and red-rimmed eyes, Yuan Quan stood before Qin Sheng and couldn't help but question him:

"Qin Sheng, how could you treat Ali like this?"

Qin Sheng looked up at her expressionlessly.

"How could I have treated Zeng Li so badly?"

"She likes you so much, you're all she thinks about."

Even though you're the one who made the mistake, she's willing to forgive you.

As long as you lower your head and promise not to do it again, that's fine.

Why are you so cold and heartless towards her?

Yuan Quan's voice trembled slightly; at this moment, her heart was filled with guilt.

Although by a twist of fate, Zeng Li only recognized Qin Sheng and did not recognize that the woman with Qin Sheng was her.

But she couldn't fool herself.

In the end, she was the one who stole her best friend's man.

She and her best friend's man went to a hotel.

I thought that if I kept it a secret, everything would be fine.

Unexpectedly, the incident still occurred.

At this moment, Yuan Quan had only one thought in her mind.

She was willing to withdraw, only hoping that Qin Sheng and Zeng Li could reconcile and return to normal.

"Qin Sheng, let's not do this anymore. I'll never bother you again."

Yuan Quan sat down next to Qin Sheng, grabbed his arm, and pleaded in her voice.

"Go apologize to Ali, coax her back, and make sure you two are okay again, okay? I'm begging you."

Looking at Yuan Quan's face full of guilt, Qin Sheng remained silent for a moment before gently pulling his arm away.

"no."

Yuan Quan looked at Qin Sheng with a mixture of despair and confusion.

"Why? Why is this happening? It was just a small act of infidelity, and Ali was willing to forgive you, so why are you the one being so stubborn now?"

Qin Sheng said calmly, "This shows that you don't know me well enough."

I am indeed a scumbag, and I will definitely do it again in the future, either with you or with someone else.

Therefore, rather than being caught and hurt by Zeng Li again later, it's better to clarify things now.

If you can accept it, stay together; if you can't, part ways amicably.

"You..." Yuan Quan was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time, pointing at Qin Sheng.

What are you so defiant about? You cheated on your partner and you're so self-righteous about it?

But seeing Qin Sheng's cold expression, Yuan Quan knew she couldn't persuade him.

Standing up, Yuan Quan turned and left the room; she was going to find Zeng Li.

After leaving home, Yuan Quan found a public phone and called Zeng Li.

"Hello, Yuan Quan..."

Zeng Li's voice was terribly hoarse.

Hearing this voice, Yuan Quan felt even more guilty.

"Ali, where are you? I heard about what happened between you two from Qin Sheng, I'm coming to find you now."

Half an hour later, Yuan Quan found Zeng Li.

The door opened, and Zeng Li's hair was disheveled, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Yuan Quan was heartbroken and hugged Zeng Li tightly.

Zeng Li leaned on Yuan Quan's shoulder, and the tears that had been held back burst forth again.

Assistant Zhang poured Yuan Quan a glass of water and then tactfully left.

In this situation, her best option is to remain invisible.

Afterwards, Sister Zhao will definitely have to give herself a big red envelope.

Inside the room, the two sat down on the edge of the bed.

Zeng Li hugged Yuan Quan again and began to tell her about her grievances.

Yuan Quan felt extremely heartbroken upon hearing this. She really wanted to tell Zeng Li, "It's not you who's wrong, it's me!"

But she couldn't say.

Talking about this now will only make Zeng Li more devastated.

Knowing Qin Sheng's tough stance, Yuan Quan tried to persuade Zeng Li.

"Ah Li, to be honest, actually... this kind of thing is quite common in the entertainment industry."

Men, especially men like Qin Sheng who are rich, famous, and talented, face too many temptations from the outside world.

It's understandable that he couldn't control himself for a moment; don't take it too seriously.

Zeng Li sobbed, "Sister Zhao also told me the same thing. I can actually forgive him, as long as he doesn't do it again."

Yuan Quan, do you think my request is too much?

Yuan Quan gave a bitter smile.

To be fair, this requirement is not high at all.

She even felt that Zeng Li was very magnanimous.

But I didn't expect Qin Sheng to be so tough and cold-blooded in this matter.

Forgiveness is not an option; you must accept it!

Can these women accept this?

But there was no way around it; Qin Sheng was simply too outstanding.

Unless absolutely necessary, I really don't want Zeng Li and Qin Sheng to be separated.

So she could only try to persuade her.

"Ali, it hasn't been easy for you and Qin Sheng to get to where you are today. He's always been so good to you. If this is his only flaw, you should just let it go and forgive him."

Zeng Li's face began to turn pale.

Staring at Yuan Quan, Zeng Li asked in a trembling voice, "Yuan Quan, you just came from home. Did you hear something from Qin Sheng?"

Yuan Quan was speechless.

Zeng Li's tears started flowing again.

"Can't he even promise not to do it again?"

Yuan Quan remained silent.

Silence is the best answer, and Zeng Li understood.

Overwhelmed by sadness and grievance, Zeng Li could no longer hold back and burst into tears again.

As she cried, there was another knock on the door.

Yuan Quan went to open the door, and it was Sister Zhao.

Sister Zhao glanced at Yuan Quan, said nothing, and walked directly to Zeng Li, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

"Ah Li, I just went to see Qin Sheng."

Zeng Li suddenly raised his head and looked at Sister Zhao as if he had grasped a lifeline.

"Sister Zhao, what did Qin Sheng say? Did he promise not to do it again?"

Sister Zhao sighed as she looked at Zeng Li's expectant expression.

"He asked me to tell you that if you can accept him as he is now, then make up; if you can't, then it's a pity."

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Zeng Li slumped back onto the bed, utterly dejected.

"He...he really said that?"

Sister Zhao nodded.

Tears welled up instantly, and Zeng Li covered her face, her shoulders shaking violently.

Why!

She had already conceded so much; all she needed was a casual promise from him, and she could pretend nothing had happened!

But he wouldn't even lie to himself!

Does he even care about himself?

Seeing Zeng Li break down in tears, Sister Zhao didn't try to comfort her anymore.

Given the attitudes of both sides, I'm too lazy to try to persuade them anymore.

Let them divide it up first.

Wait a few months, until both sides have calmed down, then you can use some methods to mediate.

Standing up, Sister Zhao gave Yuan Quan a few instructions to keep an eye on Zeng Li, then opened the door and left.

After Sister Zhao left, Yuan Quan hugged Zeng Li and kept patting her back, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

Then, the situation remained deadlocked.

Zeng Li never went home again, and he lived in hotels for both work and life.

Qin Sheng did not call Zeng Li again.

The two seemed to have become strangers overnight.
