Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 549 - 547: The Past

Xiao Qing was taken aback. "I didn’t know you like drinking."

"Huh?"

"I just thought you felt like drinking when thinking of... drinking. But you can’t drink cold water first thing in the morning, and since you wanted it right away, I prepared the smell for you."

Qin Huaixin suddenly realized, "So that’s how it is!"

Xiao Qing sat beside her, fell silent for a moment, then took the initiative to speak, "Xin’er, how long have we known each other? Including the days I don’t remember, how long has it been?"

Qin Huaixin thought about it and shook her head, "We’ve known each other since high school and were at the same university. If I were to calculate it specifically, I don’t really remember the time either."

"Tell me about the things between us."

"Are you sure you want to listen?" Besides their joint craziness, every time they were together, they could turn a conversation into a comedic routine. There wasn’t much to talk about those things. However, when they were together, there were things about the people around them that could be shared, like Si Nanchen, for instance.

Xiao Qing nodded affirmatively at her, "Go ahead, think of it as listening to a story."

"You want to know even if it’s related to Si Nanchen?"

Xiao Qing immediately shook her head, "I heard that there was a twisted fate between him and me. I don’t want to remember anything that has happened with him at all." She knew that having just one man in her life was enough.

The corners of Qin Huaixin’s mouth twitched silently, "Right after you and he confirmed your relationship, he ran off. So, nothing happened between you two, and to talk about feelings, there really weren’t any."

"...Then why does he always come to pester me?"

Qin Huaixin leaned back on the sofa, "He’s just not willing to give up. Seeing you with amnesia, he wanted to try his luck, who knew your amnesia would make you even more repulsed by him."

Xiao Qing: "..."

"Oh, I even forgot to tell you. Dean Hua said that the orphanage is getting better and better and asked me to visit. If she knew you were still alive and had found your biological parents, she would be overjoyed."

"Dean Hua? The orphanage?" Xiao Qing’s brow furrowed into a "川" shape, "What does that have to do with me?"

Qin Huaixin smacked her forehead in annoyance, "Look at me, I keep forgetting. You’re an orphan. Dean Hua said they found you at the doorstep of the orphanage when you were very young, probably still in swaddling clothes."

"!!!" Xiao Qing’s eyes widened in shock, unblinkingly staring at Qin Huaixin, waiting for what came next.

All Qin Huaixin did was continue, "Didn’t your parents tell you about this?"

Xiao Qing thought for a while, then realized that whenever her parents and Xiao Anze brought up this subject, they would vaguely gloss over it and wouldn’t go into detail with her.

The only explanation was that she was mixed up with another child and was luckily found by Xiao Anze, who had gone to donate blood.

Xiao Qing couldn’t believe it; she had actually believed such a flawed rationale!

The Xiao Family at the time was an entity just like the Lu Family in the Empire; how could they have gone to donate blood so readily?

"My parents didn’t go into details."

Qin Huaixin fell silent.

Xiao Qing asked again, "Was I in a car accident with Lu Jinyang five years ago? Do you know the reason?"

She saw Qin Huaixin’s complexion turn several shades paler upon hearing this.

"Xin’er, what’s wrong with you?"

Xiao Qing noticed something off and looked at her with concern.

After a while, Qin Huaixin waved her off, "It’s nothing. It’s just some sad thoughts came to mind."

"If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to say, it’s not..."

Qin Huaixin cut her off, "No, I think the reason President Lu didn’t tell you is because he wanted me to tell you personally."
