Chapter 281: 281, Passing side by side, responding indifferently
After getting on the plane, Song Qinghuan looked at Yu Yang with teary eyes and suddenly began crying on her shoulder.
While processing her papers, she didn’t see Song Qinghuan and Shi Yuhuan cross paths.
However, she was aware of Shi Yuhuan not leaving A City with them because Chen Tian had informed her that he and President Shi still had matters to attend to, and they planned to stay in Xiamen for two more days.
Therefore, Yu Yang thought that Song Qinghuan’s crying was due to her reluctance to part with Shi Yuhuan.
She consoled Song Qinghuan with slight disdain: “Please, it’s only two days apart, Erhuan, don’t be so clingy. You’ll see him in a couple of days, why are you crying like this, aren’t you embarrassed?”
Song Qinghuan didn’t have the energy to explain or the desire to justify anything to Yu Yang, she just cried even harder.
Yu Yang huffed: “So melodramatic!”.
Despite her impatience, she gently patted Song Qinghuan’s back to comfort her amidst the sobbing.
From that day onward, Song Qinghuan didn’t see Shi Yuhuan for a long time.
After staying in Xiamen for two days, Shi Yuhuan didn’t immediately return to A City. Instead, he flew off to a certain country in Europe.
At the start of this period, Song Qinghuan still thought about Shi Yuhuan constantly and how coldly he had treated her that day. However, as time passed, those thoughts gradually faded, and she no longer had time to dwell on these matters.
She used all her time and energy in investigating Tao Wenliang.
Her brother met with an accident after Tao Wenliang’s departure which meant that there must have been an insider in the company helping him.
She investigated everyone in the company who had a good relationship with Tao Wenliang and all the employees in the finance department at that time.
Her diligence paid off, as she found one very suspicious employee in the financial department.
He had resigned the day before Yan Pingdan met with the accident and left A City the next day after leaving Times Group.
Song Qinghuan desperately wanted to find him, but how could she in such a massive city, without power, clues, contacts, the ability to call the police?
It was a month later when she saw Shi Yuhuan again.
On a day when she was getting her courier from the lobby on the first floor, she saw Shi Yuhuan stepping into the building, trailed by two assistants.
Her body froze instantly, she dared not move an inch.
The bustling lobby suddenly fell into a still hush, as if a typhoon had swept through leaving an eerie silence.
Shi Yuhuan had noticed her, of course. He gave her a cool glance, his handsome face showing no emotions.
However, the expression in his deep eyes was not as indifferent as it was a month ago in Xiamen, they held a complex look that was difficult to fathom.
He moved his lips slightly but ultimately said nothing, leading his two assistants past her.
Contrary to Shi Yuhuan, his two assistants turned back to look at her, nodding slightly in greeting.
Standing in the bustling lobby, Song Qinghuan stood stupefied for a long while, like someone caught in the torrent of time, sensing a desolation that felt far removed from the glamorous world.
The encounter was the same as last time, as distant as strangers, he really did as she had wished.
Song Qinghuan lightly tugged at the collar of her clothes, she suddenly burst into laughter. Her laughter was full of subtle implications, a mixture of helplessness, self-mockery, and sighs.
She thought that this was probably how her interactions with Shi Yuhuan would be in the future.
They would be like strangers, affecting indifference, just passing by each other ~ ~
