Chapter 650: 650, Jianan, northbound
Song Qinghuan was slightly stunned.
Noticing her gaze, Si Jianan slightly raised the wine glass in his hand. His every action exuded the aura of a British gentleman.
With a slight frown, Song Qinghuan shifted her gaze away, not planning on dealing with this seemingly frivolous-appearing man.
Turning around and pretending not to acknowledge his greeting, Song Qinghuan walked over to Li Chengyun.
When Li Chengyun looked back at her, he subconsciously glanced at Si Jianan, whose gaze had been following Song Qinghuan.
“I want to go back and rest.” Song Qinghuan mentioned somewhat tiredly, pointing to her temples.
Li Chengyun checked the time and asked Song Qinghuan to wait for a moment before he could take her back to her place for rest.
Left with no choice, Song Qinghuan had to find a quiet place to sit down.
Si Jianan quickly approached her, holding up his glass in front of her with a devilish smile: “Song Qinghuan!”
Song Qinghuan was surprised as he had actually called her by name. When she was introduced earlier, he and Mo Liusha were absent, thus he could not have known her name. Furthermore, he should not have known her name was Song Qinghuan. After all, when Li Chengyun introduced her earlier, he mentioned her name within the Li family – Li Qiaoxi!
So, how did he know?
“You are…!” Although Song Qinghuan had doubts, she maintained a polite smile on her face.
Si Jianan cutely raised the corner of his mouth, “What, you don’t recognize me?”
Recognize him? She certainly didn’t recognize the tall, handsome man with a mischievous smile.
She had absolutely no recollection of this man.
Si Jianan sat down next to her: “Think again, you really don’t remember me?”
After eight years, he didn’t expect to meet Song Qinghuan again, and in Q City, at the Li Family home.
Si Jianan was well-known in Q City. He didn’t get famous for being a wealthy or high-ranking official’s child.
But because he built a network company from scratch and was bought out by Li Chengyun of the Li Family for two hundred million. He became a role model among his peers, a celebrity in Q City.
Most importantly, he was only 25 years old, handsome and alluring, making him a heartthrob to many socialites and rich young ladies.
Song Qinghuan shook her head, “I’m sorry, but I really don’t know you.”
“…” Si Jianan gave a faint smile, with a deep disappointment evident on his face.
However, reflecting further, it made sense. After all, he was no longer the skinny and weak youth from eight years ago. His current appearance differed greatly from then.
The most crucial detail was that he had changed his name.
He used to be known as Si Xiangbei, living in the poorest house with his poverty-stricken, sickly grandmother. Their desperate living condition had rendered him silent, timid and somewhat self-abasing.
Other than his grandmother, only one girl had ever shown him kindness.
When one hits rock bottom, any bit of empathy received is incredibly precious.
So all these years, he had kept a space in his heart for her, waiting for her appearance. Of course, it also contained shades of his adolescent sentiments—the vaguely heart-pounding feelings he used to have for her.
People always have a vivid memory of their first love.
In fact, after his life conditions improved, he tried to find her. However, he was unable to find that girl with whom he had shared a desk for a year, Song Qinghuan.
