Chapter 72: 72, Disappearing, caught off guard
February 11th, sunny.
The Wancheng Group refused to be acquired by Era, however, Era has given an absolute order — they must take over Wancheng Group and so, they proceeded with a hostile acquisition.
February 15th, cloudy.
He lost in this bidding war. He came to see me, accusing me of providing false data which led him to make a grave mistake. We had a huge row and I’m somewhat regretful. I can’t tell if it was right or wrong of me to help him in the first place.
March 21st, sunny.
Over a month has passed without contact between us. He initiated contact today, apologizing to me. He said that he overreacted that day, but his apology felt insincere to me, as if he was being hypocritical.
April 8th, raining.
Today’s his birthday. We had a gathering and I overheard their conversation. Suddenly, everything I’ve done seems pointless. I want to go back to America, together with my sister.
April 15th, raining.
The rain has been pouring non-stop for a week, mirroring my mood. Tomorrow, I’m going to see Qinghuan, my sister. She is growing more and more beautiful yet still so well-behaved and likeable. In just a few more months, she’ll graduate. I am sure she will be happy in the future; I must ensure happiness for my sister, my only relative.
From then on, Pingdan stopped recording any affairs.
On April 16th, when he met with Song Qinghuan, he received a phone call. He hurriedly grabbed the phone, got in the car, and drove off, leaving his bag, with the notebook inside, at Song Qinghuan’s place.
Song Qinghuan called Pingdan, asking him to come and retrieve it because his wallet was also in the bag, but Pingdan was always busy.
He wasn’t worried about Song Qinghuan looking into it and asked her to keep it temporarily because the notebook had a lock.
Late on, as it neared graduation, Song Qinghuan started getting busy too. She didn’t contact Pingdan. She wanted to surprise her brother with the diploma after graduation.
However, what she didn’t expect was the surprise her brother gave her first.
Song Qinghuan closed the notebook and sighed lightly. Things in this world change unpredictably, just like her brother’s sudden disappearance.
Just like her sudden marriage to a stranger, where she doesn’t even know his full name, only that his family name is Shi.
Or perhaps one day, this man will suddenly present her with divorce papers, announcing they are no longer husband and wife starting from that moment.
Right now, all she hopes for is that one day, her brother will appear in front of her, smiling and calling her, “Huanhuan.”
Holding the notebook, Song Qinghuan sat still on the sofa for over an hour before receiving another call from Mei Jun.
Mei Jun asked Qinghuan to go shopping with her, and then spend the night together — she wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk.
