As the sky dawned, in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Chantilla Hotel, the curtains were drawn tightly, and only the vague outlines of everything in the room could be seen.
"Sheng Nuan, please don't..."
A black figure suddenly sat up from the bed, breathing rapidly and chaotically. In the darkness, his eyes were panicked.
After a while, he finally calmed down and the figure finally moved.
He raised his hand and used the touch screen to open the curtains. When the sun emerged, a few rays of light shone into the room, adding a little warmth to the cold room.
The man's handsome and beautiful facial features were concealed by the cold pressure of his eyebrows. He raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows, letting out a long breath.
It's that dream again.
Every dream is as clear as if it happened yesterday, but in the real world, a full five years have passed.
He reached out and took out the necklace from under the pillow, and gently rubbed it with his fingertips... It had been five years.
The past five years seemed to have passed very slowly. From the difficult situation when he returned home, he gathered power bit by bit. With the help of his grandfather, he finally took the Qing family into his hands again... and at the same time sent the nominal cousin to prison.
.
The kidnapping of his biological parents more than 20 years ago and the poisoning after he returned to the Qing family were all due to the handiwork of this good cousin.
Qing Yanchuan had already been executed last year, and just three months after Qing Yanchuan was executed, the old man left Hexi.
When he left, his face was peaceful, because his grandson was back...the people who harmed his son and daughter-in-law have also paid for their lives, and the Qing family has been returned to his grandson's hands. The old man has nothing to let go of.
Ye Nanxuan sent away his grandfather, whom he had only known for less than four years, and became a loner again.
But no one would think that he was lonely... In the eyes of everyone, the new head of the Qing family was young but tough. After dealing with several forces within the Qing family that tried to challenge him without bloodshed, no one dared to look down upon him.
This young leader.
In the eyes of others, he is a decisive and cold-blooded plutocrat, with financial resources and power that can almost call the shots. He makes every plan in the business without making a mistake, and is indifferent and distant in his interactions with people in his circle.
He is like the most powerful and sophisticated yet cold and ruthless machine, intimidating everyone.
But no one knows that when he dreams back at midnight, he will also be panicked and desperate, and he will wake up again and again, tossing and turning, and heartbroken...
The necklace under the pillow has been with him for five years. Five years ago, he personally led people to search that entire sea area for a full sixty days, even though the Leslie family had already held a ceremony for Ivy Norman in country y.
After the funeral, he still refused to believe it.
For sixty days, he looked pale and thin and lived like a ghost...until his grandfather slapped him awake and took him home.
After he recovered, he personally went to the exchange to redeem the necklace she had sold to help him raise money for the surgery. It was only then that he realized that at that time, her own situation was also precarious.
Her parents are fighting to the death in Country Y. She is alone in the country and has no one to rely on, and she has to beware of dangers that may arise at any time.
That's when she rescued him from the underground boxing ring alone with a gun.
She sold the jewelry that her mother had left to her as a way to survive in the future to help him raise money to save his mother, but she never told him about her own difficulties or that her own life was in danger at any time.
It was also at that time that he saw her photo on the scrolling screen of the wishing wall in the milk tea shop...
It turned out that she had been here before when he was waiting stubbornly alone that day.
She was angry with him and called him a fool with a straight face... But after she finished scolding, she regretted it and left another sentence, saying that he was the best person in the world...
What's wrong with him... She accompanied him through the most difficult time, but he couldn't even protect her.
For the past five years, Ye Nanxuan has been thinking every day whether she would have died if he hadn't kicked her out that night...
Grandpa once told him to let go and that he was not to blame.
He wanted to protect her...
At that time, he himself was poisoned, and the surroundings were even more dangerous. He was afraid that the people who wanted to deal with him would attack her, and he didn't want her to be in danger because of him... But the result was that he pushed her to death with his own hands...
For five years, every time he dreamed of her jumping off the cliff at midnight, it was a heart-breaking experience, but he stubbornly refused to let go...
The alarm clock rang, and Ye Nanxuan got up and started to wash up.
Not long after, the special elevator door of Haishi Qingshi branch opened, and Ye Nanxuan walked out of it wearing a dark gray suit. The assistant behind him followed him and quickly read him today's schedule.
At this moment, a man from the front nodded and bowed to greet me.
"Mr. Qing, Mr. Qing, I have waited for you..."
Ye Nanxuan has officially changed his name to Qing Nanxan. After all, he is the leader of the Qing family, so he uses the Qing family's surname and the name given to him by his adoptive mother.
Knowing that Qing, a young chaebol, had come to Haishi, many people wanted to meet him, secretly or openly. It was extremely difficult to make an appointment to meet him.
Ye Nanxuan was blocked in his path and looked at him coldly.
The assistant quickly introduced: "Mr. Qing, this is Mr. Zhao from Hengxing Media. He has made an appointment in advance...but the appointment time is after the half-hour morning meeting."
Zhao Mu laughed with some embarrassment: "I was a little excited at the thought of meeting Mr. Qing. I accidentally came early, so I took the liberty of doing so."
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"Is it really you? Ye Nanxuan?"
Sheng Mian is now the leading actress of Hengxing Media and is gaining momentum, so Zhao Mu brought her along.
Qing's young CEO is low-key and mysterious. Even financial magazines don't want to be published. When he is occasionally photographed secretly, his face is far away... The public does not know his true appearance.
Sheng Mian had seen a photo before, and at that time she felt that the profile looked very similar to her former high school classmate Ye Nanxuan. Even the name "Qingnanxan" was only one letter different, but she couldn't believe it.
Really a person.
A notoriously poor student in high school suddenly transformed into the helmsman of the Qing family chaebol.
This is simply a fantasy...
Sheng Mian couldn't hold it back, or her deliberate low voice attracted several glances, and Ye Nanxuan also looked over coldly.
Sheng Mian quickly said: "I, I am Sheng Mian. We were in the same high school before. I wonder if you still remember."
Shengmian...
The expression in Ye Nanxuan's eyes suddenly tightened, he paused, and then he said calmly: "Sheng Nuan... is your cousin?"
It seemed like it took a lot of effort to say that name out of his mouth, but no one could see the strangeness in Ye Nanxuan.
Opposite me, Sheng Mian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the original rumors.
Sheng Nuan was said to have dumped Ye Nanxuan before she disappeared... At that time, many people in the school knew that Ye Nanxan was teased by Sheng Nuan, and even after being dumped, she would run to deliver breakfast to her every day, and even go to school in the heavy rain.
It was very humbling to wait for her for several hours.
Sheng Mian suddenly regretted her new relationship with Ye Nanxuan.
What if he gets angry at her because of Sheng Nuan?
Zhao Mu's eyes were full of surprise: "Mianmian knows Mr. Qing?"
Seeing that she couldn't escape, Sheng Mian could only force a smile and said: "I was lucky enough to go to the same school as Mr. Qing..."
Zhao Mu was still shouting "fate", while Sheng Mian carefully observed Ye Nanxuan's expression and said thoughtfully: "We are relatives, but we lost contact five years ago and have no contact in the past few years.
Pass……"
Ye Nanxan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his tone suddenly returned to a cold tone: "Really?"
After saying that, he was about to take a step forward...
Zhao Mu thought he could get in touch with Sheng Mian, but he didn't expect that the big boss would suddenly leave again. He quickly chased after him: "Mr. Qing, Mr. Qing, I'll tell you about Xingxing in the meeting later."
You are so noble, I..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ye Nanxuan quietly.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm here for business, not charity..."
Zhao Mu suddenly froze, and the smile on his face could hardly be maintained. He wanted to say something else, but the person behind Ye Nanxuan stopped him without any explanation. He could only watch the young chaebol leave with air-conditioning all over his body.
He and Sheng Nuan returned to the reception room outside to wait for their appointment time...
Sitting on the sofa, Zhao Mu spoke in a low voice: "Mianmian, whether the company can survive this time or not, I'm afraid it depends on you."
Sheng Mian raised her head and met Zhao Mu's meaningful gaze: "Since you and Mr. Qing are old classmates, then seize this opportunity... As long as you can get Mr. Qing to nod, from now on, the company's resources will be your choice.
"
Sheng Mian's eyes flashed brightly, and then she pursed her lips: "I...I will try my best."
