I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 563 I Like You the Most

After the photo was passed around among everyone, Su Chengyi put it in his shirt pocket.

Several people took the elevator to the underground garage. Uncle Gao stood at the outside and coughed, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Su Chengyi noticed his abnormality, first glanced at Chu Qingmian, and then asked:
"Uncle Gao, what's the matter?"

Uncle Gao followed his gaze and glanced at his young lady cautiously.

It wasn't until the elevator dinged that it had reached the garage that he had to say:
"Miss, Madam arranged for me to come and pick you up."

“I remember I said I wasn’t going back.”

It was rare for Chu Qingmian to put away his smile and show no expression like this, and his tone was also cold and clear, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, so the lady said, let me wait until you want to go back. She will wait too, and so will the other employees in the company."

After saying this, Uncle Gao took out his sunglasses from his pocket and put them on again with an unnatural look.

This is blatant moral kidnapping.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the elevator frowned, but since it was the other party's parents' matter, no one spoke.

But Xu Yang still nudged Su Chengyi with his elbow and gave him a look that said "I really admire this guy."

The latter crossed his arms and did not react. He just looked at the person involved, Miss Chu, whose expression suddenly darkened.

"Okay, let's wait."

Chu Qingmian stretched out his hand to block the elevator door that was about to close automatically, and was the first to walk out.

"Miss!"

Uncle Gao followed with a big step forward, and because he was hugging the huge Lego box, he looked a little funny.

The two of them walked out one after the other, and the remaining people in the elevator looked at each other, sighing in their hearts:
It’s so pitiful for the workers who are caught between these contradictions.

The key point is that this contradiction is not an ordinary contradiction, but a contradiction between the capitalist inheritance rights and the long-accumulated childhood and even adult shadows of the mother and daughter.

This is simply horrifying, and absolutely no one in the world is willing to get involved.

Su Chengyi felt that Uncle Gao, who usually looked very tall and majestic, now looked much weaker.

"What to do?"

Xu Yang scratched his head and asked.

"It's nothing. We can't say anything about this matter. Mianmian has to handle it herself."

Han Bing sighed and pressed the elevator door open button unhappily.

"Let's go."

Miss Chu and Uncle Gao in front had already walked to the side of the car and seemed to be talking. The rest of the people stopped consciously and waited at a distance where they could not hear the conversation clearly.

"Ms. Wei is really a competent and reliable mother."

Seeing Chu Qingmian's rare serious expression in the distance, Han Bing snorted coldly and couldn't help but stand up for her.

"I haven't taken care of Mianmian for a single day since she was born, but she knows to pick the fruits when they are ripe."

"That's right! It's just that Sister Mian has a good temper. If it were me, I would never call her mother. What kind of mother is she if she doesn't raise her child?"

Xu Yang punched the air and continued indignantly:
"Although my mother controls me like crazy, at least I know she loves me very much."

"In a family like Sister Mian's, everyone probably has their own difficulties."

Hearing his friends' anger rising rapidly, Lin Tong responded cautiously.

"That's true."

Xu Yang nodded in agreement.

“I heard from my father that the Chu family is a little different from other families because it is very traditional in nature, has many people, and has various branch systems, which is super complicated.

Although the Chu family suppressed the news about Sister Mian's twin brother who died young, many people still knew about it. Some people vaguely spread rumors that Sister Mian killed him."

Before Xu Yang could finish his words, Han Bing punched him in the back.

“What are you talking about!!”

"Why did you hit me? I didn't say that. My dad heard it from someone else!"

Xu Yang covered the place where he was hit and said with a sad face.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes to hide his thoughts.

If even an outsider like Xu Yang's father knew about it, then the spread of such a "rumor" must be very wide. In other words, Miss Chu grew up in such an environment of public opinion.

On the surface, she seems to be rich and beautiful. She is the only daughter of the Chu family and the apple of the eye. It seems that she can have anything she wants.

In fact, she had been without a mother since she was a child and was brought up by a nanny and a housekeeper. The entire family was scrutinizing her and she was also accused by outsiders of having killed her own younger brother.

"."

Thinking of this, Su Chengyi suddenly felt a slight dull pain in his heart. He raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qingmian in the distance.

She had already taken the phone from Uncle Gao, her lips slightly pursed, her expression indifferent and cold.

"It's hard to imagine that even though she grew up in such a hawkish and wolves-like family, Sister Mian is still such a kind person."

Lin Tong selected a very suitable word from the vocabulary to describe it.

The eagle looks and the wolf looks back, how true it is.

From Chu Qingmian's perspective, the whole world is probably full of traps on the road to growth. If you are not careful, you will give others a chance to criticize you, and the story will be exaggerated and become a topic of conversation after dinner.

"Who said it wasn't? Seriously, if it were me, I would have grown up to be a vicious woman by the age of eight! Kill, kill, kill these people!!!"

Han Bing said through gritted teeth.

It was obvious that she was capable of doing such a thing.

Among the remaining three boys, Su Chengyi would definitely not stand this humiliation. He would throw the hot potato of the so-called "heir" eight hundred meters away without any psychological burden, and leave this mess to others to clean up slowly.

Although Dacongming is very smart, he is not at all timid when it comes to key issues. Once he gets stubborn, ten oxen can't pull him back.

But then again, if the heir of the Chu family is very smart, everyone might consciously start looking for another way out as soon as possible.

Lin Tong is a good-tempered person who is willing to accept whatever comes his way, but when it comes to matters of principle, although he lacks the momentum, he will never give in.

Even though Hou Xiaohong and his gang bullied him so badly back then, he managed to hold on simply because of his determination to "study hard and repay his sister".

Everyone can do it, but Chu Qingmian can’t. She just grew up obediently like this.

Thinking of this, Su Chengyi couldn't help but sigh softly.

Sometimes it is really hard to understand the so-called "gentleness" of human beings.

The same goes for Chen Jinzhi and Chu Qingmian.

The two were born in completely different environments, but the growth process was not easy for both of them.

But, they all became so-called "gentle" people.

For the first time in his life, Su Chengyi felt that gentleness was not a compliment. In order to obtain such a trait, too much suffering had to be hidden behind it.

At this time, the call on the other end seemed to have ended. Chu Qingmian stuffed the phone into Uncle Gao's suit pocket and walked towards Su Chengyi.

"Okay, Su Chengyi, let's go. Do you want to go see the house?"

Her smiling face showed no trace of the scene when she was making the phone call just now.

Su Chengyi glanced at Uncle Gao, who was still standing in the same position. From his stiff expression, it could be seen that the problem had not actually been solved. "What's the matter?"

So instead of answering the question, he asked this.

Chu Qingmian's smile soon became so shallow that her dimples disappeared.

After a while, she lowered her eyes and explained in front of her friends' inquiring gazes:

"My mother said that tonight's matter is very important. If I don't go back to deal with it, it would be like throwing away the hard work of everyone in the company. I have no sense of responsibility at all. I am not worthy of running such a large company. I am an adult but I still can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant."

She mechanically repeated what Wei Peilan had just said.

Before she finished speaking, Su Chengyi covered her mouth with his palm and nodded:
"Okay."

It was just some PUA's usual rhetoric, magnifying a small matter into something as big as a huge matter. Chu Qingmian had no idea how many huge pots like this he had to bear since he was a child.

"Damn it, didn't you work hard from dawn to dusk to build Wake Up Entertainment? What is she talking about?"

As her best friend, Han Bing was the first one who couldn't help but curse.

"That is to say, even if she doesn't care about anything, Wake Up Entertainment is still awesome!!"

Xu Yang shouted unconvincedly.

Only Lin Tong added weakly:
"Sister Mian, don't take these words to heart."

"Don't worry, I won't take it to heart."

Chu Qingmian smiled slightly, shook his head and said:

"No matter what she says, whether she is irresponsible, unworthy of running Wake Up Entertainment, or unable to distinguish between the important and the trivial, I accept it."

"I just said, yes, I am full of flaws. I can't become an emotionless work machine like her. My biological daughter has celebrated her 18th birthday, and she has never attended once, and has never said a word of happy birthday."

"I will never be such a person. No matter how many billions I lose due to my willful decision, it is just a number to me and has no meaning.

Today, I just want to celebrate my birthday with the boy I like."

After she finished speaking, she let out a sigh of relief.

I was a little nervous when I spoke into the receiver just now, but now that I repeat it, I am more determined in my thinking.

She wasn't wrong.

Su Chengyi looked at her expression and suddenly lowered his head and smiled.

He glanced at the people around him and gave Han Bing a look.

The other party reacted quickly and immediately pulled Xu Yang and Lin Tong towards Uncle Gao's position.

"Let's go."

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I haven't finished talking yet!"

Xu Yang still stood there and continued:
"Sister Mian, you are absolutely right, that's how it should be! Show them some of your strength, if you don't show your might, they will really think you are Hello Kitty! I tell you"

"Go away, you look sick!"

Han Bing pushed him speechlessly.

Lin Tong reacted quickly and also helped. With the efforts of the two, they were finally able to stuff Da Congming, who was still eager to eat, into the car.

So there were only two people left in the quiet underground garage.

Chu Qingmian didn’t know what Su Chengyi was going to say, so she raised her watery eyes and said “Hmm?”

Su Chengyi leaned forward slightly and said solemnly:
"Thank you."

"Why thank you?"

"Thank you for being so brave for me, but."

Su Chengyi changed the subject.

“Don’t do this just for me, Chu Qingmian, you have to prove that you are not someone she can mock at will.

What you need to fight for is not the capital to be with me, or to spend such an insignificant birthday with me, but the capital to be free. "

He spoke slowly, but pronounced each word firmly.

This is what he wanted to say to Chu Qingmian a long time ago. A momentary "willful resistance" might bring a short-term victory like tonight, but in the long run, it is of no help.

With Wei Peilan's personality, she would inflict the frustration she suffered from Chu Qingmian tenfold or a hundredfold on her innocent employees.

Xingxing Entertainment is Chu Qingmian's hard work. Su Chengyi doesn't want to see this neurotic woman ruin the eldest lady's debut work for her own selfish desires.

Chu Qingmian stared at him blankly, his pair of black and white eyes as calm as ever.

"This will be a difficult thing, because I'm afraid no one in your family has ever had the capital to be free. But I will always be by your side.

I now formally promise you that I will attend the family dinner you mentioned last time."

Su Chengyi reached out and gently touched her head.

"So, thank you for spending my birthday with me today. Let's celebrate midnight together on my next birthday."

He seldom spoke in such a gentle tone, and Chu Qingmian suddenly felt his eyes getting hot.

Even though she was scolded harshly by her own mother on the phone just now, denying her achievements and her personality, she didn't feel like crying at all.

Now she only felt the warmth of Su Chengyi's palm, but she felt that tears were about to burst out in the next second.

"But."

She sniffed, her tone filled with tears.

But I don't want to leave you alone.

Su Chengyi had roughly guessed what she hadn't finished saying, and he took out the Polaroid photo from his shirt pocket.

The two people in the photo are very close to each other, and you can tell at a glance that they are an intimate young couple. Even the dogs passing by would bark at them and say they are a good match.

"I'm not alone."

Su Chengyi smiled and put the photo back into his pocket with great care.

"It's really hard for you to grow up well, little monitor. No matter where you are, there is a place for you in my heart. You are always there with me."

The tears that Chu Qingmian had tried so hard to hold back finally burst out. Su Chengyi gave her a comforting hug, and her surging tears quickly wet the collar of her shirt.

Su Chengyi suddenly thought of the time when Miss Chu cried like this after he and Hou Xiaohong had a fight. That was also the first time he realized that tears could be so hot.

"sorry."

Chu Qingmian apologized with sobs.

"Ah."

Denying her apology at this time would only backfire, so Su Chengyi touched the back of her head.

"You cried so hard, are you going to show everyone your red eyes when you return to the company?"

"Never."

Chu Qingmian closed her eyes and rubbed his shoulder gently.

"I love you the most, Su Chengyi. I am the person who loves you the most in the whole world."
