Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

"Mr. Qin, thank you for your willingness to cooperate with us this time. Please believe in our sincerity and strength. We will never let you down!"

"Of course."

"Mr. Qin, let's have a drink together. You are the absolute protagonist of the dinner tonight, so you must enjoy yourself."

"Cheers, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"Mr. Qin, there are too many people here. If there is still time later, I would be happy to arrange a more colorful party for you."

"Next time, definitely next time."

At the dinner, men were dressed in suits and women in dresses, and they were talking and laughing as they drank and chatted.

As the protagonist of tonight, Qin Luo was almost always surrounded by people from beginning to end, which made it impossible for him to realize his idea of ​​sneaking away with Chu Sijin and Chu Chu.

Fortunately, the two girls were taken care of by Li Meizhao, so they could get whatever they wanted to eat and play. Besides, everyone here knew their identities and would not approach them deliberately to avoid suspicion. Therefore, the two girls were not disturbed at all and could do whatever they wanted.

With the end of the summit, Qin Luo’s main purpose of coming to Los Angeles came to an end.

Of course, those partners really wanted to talk to him more, and it would be best if they could obtain more authorizations, but unfortunately Qin Luo did not intend to give them this opportunity.

After tonight, Qin Luo planned to let Li Mei be his guide and take him and the Chu sisters to visit some places worth seeing and playing in the local area. As for other things...

"Hello, Mr. Qin."

A soft female voice sounded, Qin Luo looked up and saw a charming woman with a kind smile on her face.

It’s not that his expression changed when he saw the beautiful woman, but because the other person was a compatriot with black eyes, black hair, yellow skin, and spoke Chinese.

"Hello," Qin Luo replied with a smile, "There are not many Chinese people here tonight, and even fewer women. What should I call them?"

Qin Luo's words were not meant to please the other party deliberately - there were indeed not many Chinese people here today. Apart from the top bosses who personally talked to Qin Luo at the summit, the people who later appeared at the dinner were all rich or noble. This woman looked young, but she could appear here, so she must have a high status and ability.

However, after hearing him ask her name, the woman did not introduce herself immediately. Instead, she hesitated for a while before stammering, "My last name is Cui... Cui Ying. I wonder if Mr. Qin has heard of my name?"

When saying this, Cui Ying was obviously a little guilty, and she didn't even dare to look Qin Luo in the eye, but she was secretly observing Qin Luo's reaction.

As for Qin Luo, when he heard her name, his original smile quickly disappeared, replaced by an undisguised gloom.

When Cui Ying saw this, she finally felt relieved.

She glanced in the direction of the Chu sisters without leaving a trace, and a bitter smile appeared on her face: "It seems that you have heard of me... Can you tell me, was it those two children who told you, or Chu Xiong or someone else?"

Qin Luo did not answer immediately, and his mood was a little complicated.

After learning about Cui Ying from the two sisters, he really wanted to get in touch with her, and he had been wondering if there was any hidden story behind what happened back then.

After all, from a normal person's perspective, it is really unacceptable that a biological mother would want to poison her own daughter.

In comparison, Qin Luo would rather believe that there might be some hidden secrets involved.

But he was afraid that this was just his wishful thinking. If what happened at the beginning was indeed as he had heard, then what happened after he came into contact with Cui Ying?

Punish her?
How severe should the punishment be? Should she kneel down and apologize? Should she deeply repent for what she did? Or should she simply disappear from the face of the earth?
It's simple to say and do, but Qin Luo is very clear that given the relationship between him and Chu Sijin, no matter what he does, it will be inappropriate. Even if he really wants to do it, he can't do it himself.

Then let her apologize to her daughter in person?
It seems even more unnecessary. After all, the incident happened a long time ago. It is true that Chu Sijin has been left with a psychological trauma, but at least it has improved now. If the psychological trauma is aggravated because of Cui Ying, it would be even more fucked up.

It seems that the best thing to do is to forget Cui Ying.

Qin Luo was originally thinking about whether or not to contact her before leaving, but he didn't expect that she would appear here and take the initiative to find him.

From her perspective, if she felt guilty or afraid after learning about her daughter's relationship with Qin Luo, she would not have taken the initiative to find Qin Luo. Now that she has taken the initiative to find him, does it mean that...what happened back then was indeed not as simple as it seemed?
Qin Luo's thoughts were in a mess, but he remained silent.

He looked at Cui Ying expressionlessly until she bit her lips involuntarily in nervousness. Then he finally said, "Let's go over there and talk."

He pointed to a corner where there were small and exquisite round tables and chairs, but not many people were willing to sit down and rest. After all, those who could appear here tonight were either rich or noble. Everyone wanted to seize the opportunity to chat and establish friendships with the people around them, so how could they be willing to sit down and rest?
It would be better to wait until you die and lie in the box. Then you will have plenty of time to rest.

After reaching the corner, Qin Luo sat down first, tapping the table with his fingers, looking at Cui Ying with a dim gaze.

"My feelings towards you are very complicated," he said softly, his tone flat and without any emotion: "On the one hand, I am very grateful that you brought Xiaojin, Liunian and Chuchu into this world, but on the other hand, I cannot forgive you for what you did to Xiaojin, unless..."

"I didn't do that! I can explain it!" Cui Ying suddenly interrupted, and this short sentence was exactly what Qin Luo wanted to hear most.

His eyes immediately lit up, and he stretched out his hand towards the chair in front of him: "Sit down first, and tell me about it."

Perhaps standing would help her stay awake, so Cui Ying did not sit down. She just bit her lip and said, "My mind is still a little confused. After all, I never thought that after Xiao Jin was taken away, I would have the chance to see her and Liu Nian..."

At this point, she suddenly paused, and then as if she remembered something, she said, "By the way, you just mentioned Chuchu... Who is Chuchu? I only have two daughters, Xiaojin and Liunian."

Qin Luo waved his hand: "I'll tell you about this later, you tell me your business first."

There was confusion in Cui Ying's eyes, but she did not try to get to the bottom of the matter. Instead, she fell into silence, as if she was thinking about what to say.

Qin Luo waited for five minutes before she finally sat down and then let out a long sigh.

"Ever since Xiao Jin was taken away, my personal freedom has been restricted. Although they didn't tie me up in a dark basement and lock me up like a prisoner, they have imprisoned me in a foreign country forever. I can't even leave Los Angeles. If I try to escape, bullets will fly around me from nowhere... It has been more than ten years. I have lived in fear every day for more than ten years, until recently..."

Cui Ying's first sentence made Qin Luo frown subconsciously, but he did not interrupt, but continued to listen quietly.

But Cui Ying was obviously not calm enough, and when she spoke again, the conversation turned directly to what happened more than 20 years ago.

"Chu Xiong and I got married 22 years ago. Not long after we got married, we had Xiao Jin and Liu Nian. At that time, our family was very happy, and I thought we would always be happy like this. But I didn't expect that one day when they were three years old, Chu Xiong suddenly asked me to divorce him."

"I will never forget that day. He threw Xiaojin and me out of the house like trash, yelling at us to get out and never come back. But no matter how much I cried and asked him what was wrong, he refused to answer me. In the end, he had Xiaojin and me put on a private plane and sent us directly to the United States."

"During the first few days after arriving in America, I kept hugging Xiao Jin and crying. Xiao Jin also kept crying and asking me what was wrong, why dad didn't want us anymore, and where Liu Nian had gone. But I didn't know how to answer her at all..."

At this point, Cui Ying became visibly agitated, and her eyes turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qin Luo still didn't say anything when he saw this. He just took out two tissues and handed them over, motioning her to continue.

"Thank you, sorry I'm a little excited..."

Cui Ying took the tissue and wiped her eyes, then took a deep breath and continued, "Chu Xiong has always loved me and the children. After I calmed down, I felt that he must have had some difficulties in doing this. He sent Xiao Jin and me away for our safety, and some things that happened later proved that my guess was correct."

"The man who brought us to America claimed to be Chu Xiong's subordinate, but I had never seen him before. I didn't think much about it. After all, he has so many subordinates, how can I recognize them all? After he brought us to America, he arranged a villa for us to live in. He lived next door to us, but he would come to our house every day to take a look."

"He said that Chu Xiong asked him to stay there to take care of me and my daughter, but I know he was actually monitoring us. After all, if Chu Xiong really didn't want Xiao Jin and me anymore, why would he have someone take us to such a far place and arrange everything for us, and even arrange for someone to take care of us?"

"But I believed him on the surface and occasionally invited him to dinner to find out about Chuxiong's situation, but he refused to tell me anything. Then, about seven or eight days later, I invited him to dinner at home again, but Xiaojin fainted halfway through the meal. I realized that the man had tampered with the food, but I couldn't do anything and soon fainted too."

"When I woke up again, that person and Xiao Jin were gone. I searched for a long time and finally found Xiao Jin locked herself in the room. I cried and knocked on the door, but I could hear Xiao Jin crying from inside the room. She cried and said that I poisoned her and wanted to kill her. No matter what I said, she refused to believe it. I wanted to knock on the door, but that person suddenly appeared again, and brought a lot of people with him. They took me directly to the house next door and locked me up for a whole week."

"After that, I never saw Xiao Jin again. When I came out again, those people told me that Xiao Jin had been taken back by Chu Xiong..."

Qin Luo listened quietly to Cui Ying's every word, his expression sometimes confused and sometimes enlightened.

As far as he knew, Cui Ying and Chu Xiong divorced because of emotional problems. After that, Cui Ying took Chu Sijin and fled to the United States. Not long after, she remarried and wanted to poison Chu Sijin because she regarded her as a burden.

Theoretically, this statement has certain loopholes. After all, if Cui Ying really regarded Chu Sijin as a burden, why did she bring her along in the first place?
It can't be that Chu Xiong doesn't want her. After all, he can afford to support her, and he has kept his other daughter, so there is no need to send Chu Sijin away.

Now, after listening to Cui Ying's words, Qin Luo understood a lot.

Presumably, Chu Xiong had encountered something beyond his control. He was unable to solve the troubles he faced, so he had to consider the safety of his family first. However, his situation seemed to have become so bad that the other party took Cui Ying and Chu Sijin away as hostages. The reason why Chu Liunian was not taken away as well was probably to leave Chu Xiong a little hope, in case he had the idea of ​​fighting to the death.

In this case, it is no surprise that the person who appears to be protecting but is actually monitoring Cui Ying and Chu Sijin is Chu Xiong's enemy.

According to Cui Ying, they didn't encounter anything when they first came here. It was only a few days later that the poisoning occurred. And it wasn't just Chu Sijin who was poisoned, Cui Ying was also poisoned.

Qin Luo began to associate and guessed that something must have happened between Chu Xiong and his opponent in those days. The opponent was enraged and warned Chu Xiong in this way. Then Chu Xiong most likely gave in and made some kind of agreement with his opponent on the condition of bringing Chu Sijin back to his side.

As for Cui Ying...it is very likely that Chu Xiong chose to leave her in the United States to fend for herself after weighing the pros and cons. However, this was obviously not Chu Xiong's own will, but he had no choice but to make this choice.

However, Chu Xiong's opponent was obviously a steady one. Even though Cui Ying had been abandoned, he still kept her imprisoned in this foreign country for so many years, and achieved his own goal very smoothly. He threatened Chu Xiong's family and forced Chu Xiong to abdicate, secretly eroding the behemoth Chu Group.

Although Qin Luo didn't know how the other party could do all this, if he hadn't appeared, the Chu Group would probably have belonged to someone else now.

As for who that other person is...ha, do we need to guess?
Qin Luo's mind flashed with the man who affectionately called him "brother-in-law" when they first met, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you know Chu Yang?" (End of this chapter)
