Qin Mu took a shower in the bathroom and lay down on the bed. He wanted to give Tang Ning a call, but he threw his phone to the side. Since Tang Ning hated him, why should he still call her?
He even felt his actions were a little ridiculous. How could he go through so much trouble to love a woman without any regard for his dignity? Was it because of love?
However, was he really worthy of her love?
In his university days, he fell in love with Cui Han. He truly experienced the sweetness of love. Even at that time, like every warm and passionate boy, he secretly prepared birthday gifts for Cui Han, or planned a romantic trip for her.
However, 5 years ago, his father, the CEO of the Qin Corporation, suddenly died at a family gathering. He was very clear about his father's physical condition. After getting someone to examine him, he found out that someone had poisoned his father.
However, when their huge family gathered together, he could not find out who had done that to his father. He could only watch as everyone shed fake tears at the grieving gathering. Then, a fire broke out at the grieving gathering. His father's body was burned by the fire, and all the evidence of his death disappeared along with the fire.
He suffered a great blow when he lost his mother in the early years. At the same time, a war started in the Qin family. His uncles revealed their ferocious faces, showing their greed and malice. The young Qin Mu could not resist at all.
He would tell those things to the people closest to him, Cui Han. At that time, Cui Han had become his only emotional support.
However, 1 day, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Cui Han and her parents. They were actually discussing which child of the Qin family would have the right to inherit the company. At that moment, Cui Han's parents seemed to have asked Cui Han to choose the most likely successor of the Qin family as her boyfriend over the phone. Cui Han also agreed without hesitation.
All of his emotional support was destroyed in an instant, and he immediately broke up with Cui Han. Cui Han explained that she was doing it to deal with her parents, and those words were from her heart.
However, he saw a guilty look in Cui Han's eyes at that time. At the same time, he realized the cruelty in this world. That night, he quickly abandoned all his emotions and kept it to himself. He started to fight for the right of inheritance and established Black Valley. He eliminated all the members of the Qin family who were fighting for the right of inheritance.
In order to prove his sincerity, Cui Han even committed suicide several times, but she was saved in time.
He realized, when he looked at the dying Cui Han lying on the hospital bed, he could no longer feel any pity for her, let alone love her.
Qin Mu was surprised that his heart was as cold as ice. His heart could no longer ignite. He could not love anymore.
At the same time, he deeply hated himself until he met Tang Ning.
However, when he heard what Tang Ning said to him that day in the hospital room, he felt his heart shatter once again.
Perhaps, a person like him was not worthy to love her, nor was he worthy of her love.
However, he still did not plan to let Astral Group and the Tang family off his hook. He was not worthy of her love, but he could protect her.
Tang Ning stayed in the hospital for a few days. After her health gradually improved, she was released from the hospital.
Before she left, she stopped at the lobby of the hospital. It seemed, she was trying to find someone among the people in white coats. However, she never saw Qin Mu. Ever since she said those cruel words to Qin Mu, he had disappeared from the face of the Earth.
However, she felt that it was for the best. This was the best protection she could give Qin Mu.
Coincidentally, the holiday had ended, so she returned to the company to work. It was busy working as a financial staff. Numbers were like the sea as it drowned her, so she did not have time to think about anything else.
It was not until her boss arranged for her to go on a business trip to the branch office to check their accounts. However, Tang Ning could not find her identity card when she was trying to book the tickets. Suddenly, she remembered the day she fell into the water. After Qin Mu rescued her, they went to get a hotel room together. At that time, she was so cold that she was shivering. Thus, when the receptionist handed over her identity card, she stuffed it all into Qin Mu's hands.
She had thought of applying for an identity card at the last minute. In short, in the current era of big data, even if she did not bring her identity card with her, it would not affect anything.
However, this matter had been bothering her for a whole day. Until evening, she dialed Qin Mu's number because she inexplicably wanted to hear Qin Mu's voice again.
However, after Qin Mu picked up his phone, his voice did not come from the other end of the line. Instead, it was the sound of the waves crashing, accompanied by Qin Mu's painful and heavy breathing!
