Chapter 25 - Termination of Cooperation

Chapter 25 Termination of Cooperation

Du Ling started the car. The scenery outside the window flew by. The streetlights shone into the car. Du Ling raised her head and looked at Qin Zheng through the rearview mirror. Qin Zheng sat quietly in the back seat and turned her head to look at the brightly lit street. She lowered her head and her long hair covered her face. She looked a little lonely.

“Zheng Zheng.” Du Ling broke the silence. “Can you tell me why you like Xie Xun?”

Qin Zheng smiled helplessly. “Sister Ling, do you think I like his face too?”

“If I really thought that way, I wouldn’t have asked you again.” Du Ling was very guarded against Xie Xun, but she had to admit that his face was indeed rare. He was good-looking, but his facial features were exquisite. However, he didn’t have any femininity or gentleness. With such a face, let alone being liked by women, even men wouldn’t be able to walk away from him.

If Qin Zheng really coveted Xie Xun’s beauty, Du Ling would not be worried. However, she understood Qin Zheng… She was not a person who paid attention to the face. And that man, Xie Xun, was definitely not a good person. Only a silly girl like Qin Zheng would not be wary of him.

Du Ling sighed. “Zheng Zheng, I know he saved you, but this does not constitute a reason for you to like him so much.” Although it was wonderful to be a hero saving a damsel in distress, not everyone would accept this beauty.

Qin Zheng looked at the scenery outside the window. She said faintly: “These years, other than taking back the Qin Corporation, my life has no meaning. In order to take back the Qin Corporation, I chose the most suitable man for me, the one who could give me benefits. As long as he could help me take back the group, I would give anything. But Sister Ling, do you know? I don’t dare to think about what I will do after I really take back the Qin Corporation? I don’t dare to think about the future because I don’t have any expectations for the future. Or rather, I don’t know what will support me toward the future.”

When she was kidnapped, Qin Zheng even thought that it would be good if she died like this. Although she felt sorry for her deceased parents, it was too boring to live. “After I was kidnapped that day, I finally found an opportunity to call Lu Yixuan for help, but I heard that he and Su Mei’er were having s*x… Later on, the kidnappers found out that I was secretly making a call, so they threw my phone away. They even scolded me for quite a while. At that time, I felt that I was so stupid. Why did I call that scumbag Lu Yixuan when I had such a precious opportunity to call for help?”

Qin Zheng was so stupid that she started crying. Ever since her parents passed away, she had never cried again. As a qualified socialite, she could not shed tears at will. She had to pay attention to her image at all times. Even if she was unhappy, she had to maintain a smile. No matter how sad she was, she had to wear a mask of hypocrisy. She also had to constantly be on guard against her family members stabbing her in the back.

This kind of life was really too tiring.

When she was tied up as a hostage, Qin Zheng could not help but burst into tears. She felt that she was about to die anyway, so why did she still have to tie herself up? If she could not do this, then she could not do it?

She wanted to be herself to the fullest.

That was probably the most miserable and pleasurable cry she had ever cried in her life. She knew that she must have cried in a very ugly manner because the people who were locked up with her at that time looked at her with horror in their eyes. However, Qin Zheng did not care so much and completely let herself go. It was also at that moment that someone handed her a handkerchief. That person was Xie Xun.

Du Ling was stunned for a moment when she heard that. A hint of understanding flashed across her eyes. It turned out that Xie Xun was not the only one who saved her… Perhaps there was nothing wrong with Qin Zheng’s current state. She did what she wanted to do. There was no need to hide her true nature.

Halfway through the car, Qin Zheng suddenly said, “Sister Ling, I am prepared to cut off all cooperation between the company and the Lu Corporation.”

Previously, she had only terminated a small part of the cooperation. Now, she was going to cut off all of it.

“Cut off now?” Du Ling frowned slightly.

Qin Zheng’s eyes were sharp to the sky. “Does the Lu Corporation really think that our Qin family can’t do without them? These years, our two families have been cooperating in name, but the Qin Corporation has always been looking up at them. They have never treated us as partners. We are just cash machines.”

Du Ling was not surprised. They had discussed how to deal with the Lu Corporation before. “But didn’t you say that you would have to endure for another year and be fully prepared?”

“I really can’t continue to work with Lu Yixuan, this scumbag.” “Zheng Zheng, if you do this, the road ahead will be very difficult.”

Qin Zheng raised her head and smiled at Du Ling. “It doesn’t matter. Don’t I have Sister Ling to help me?”
