Chapter 229: Led Me To Meet The Most Beautiful Person In My Entire Life
Ning Qing looked at the weak back profile of the girl. She slowly shook her head as she said, “Xiao Yi, you obviously know that I am not. Never ever suspect the entire world just because of one person.”
This was a scary thought, and it would ruin Li Yi.
One that believed that the world did not have love, would spend the rest of her life alone.
Li Yi did not speak again. Ning Qing looked at the girl’s shoulder starting to shake again, the small hand that she held tightly into a fist by her side was hitting herself again and again, and she was sobbing.
Ning Qing walked forward and hugged the girl’s shoulders. “Li Yi, if you want to cry, let it all out then.”
Li Yi was back facing Ning Qing as she lifted her gaze up, but the tears in her eyes could not stop. The worst time in life is when hope is all gone. The tears seemed to dry in the previous second, but in the next second, the tears start falling down again.
“Director Ning, what did…you say? How could he…do this to me? What did I do wrong? He actually went…I will never forgive him.”
The girl let out a scattered cry, and she was crying too anxiously, unable to control herself. Even the words that she wanted to say were all in blocks.
Ning Qing understood. The more naïve a person was, the more cruel they would become as their hearts harden.
“Xiao Yi, you asked me why. Then let me answer you, because you don’t understand men, and you do not know how to love. You gave up on your studies because of a man, and you gave up the prime time of your youth to accompany him on the streets. Did you think that were giving him the best love? That is wrong; you were not loving him. You were engaging in game theory.
“You have lost in your strategy in this game, so you are left with nothing. You gave up on yourself because of a man. You still have not learned how to love yourself well and how to let a man love you. What will it take for you to love someone else?
“Xiao Yi, never ever forget: Before loving a man, you have to first love yourself.”
Li Yi heard her words and started to sob uncontrollably. She slowly turned around and hugged Ning Qing while she said, “Director Ning… Director Ning…”
She had left the mountains and followed Liu Wenlong to come to this foreign city. Eight years of her loyalty and love for him had all been exchanged for a stranger whom had barely known for half a month…
Her life was such a failure.
Ning Qing was right. She never really loved herself.
Ning Qing gently caressed her hair as she said, “Xiao Yi, don’t cry anymore. Since you are unable to forgive him, then start over afresh, and don’t let him become a guest in your life. Not every relationship on earth succeeds and bears fruit in the end. Life is just like going on a holiday taking the bus. You will never know if you will be able to meet the best scenery in your life at the next stop.”
Li Yi shook her head as she said, “It won’t happen, it can’t happen anymore. None of you know, I was actually…in the past…”
“Shh, don’t say it.” Ning Qing gently interrupted her words, and the tears in her eyes rolled out, her voice was gentle as the wind in spring. “Xiao Yi, don’t say it out loud. Treat it as a secret in the bottom of your heart. The people now have more liberal thoughts. Many things are just about that layer of flesh. Do not wallow in self pity and do not fear, we would never need to plead guilty for the perpetrator. As long as you are brave enough to walk on, as long as you shut your eyes, the pain will be over in a moment. After you open your eyes again, life still continues on, and you still have your own freedom. No one can use their own moral compass and gaze to kidnap you.
“That person you once loved — you have worked hard, and the people who have yet to fall in love with you would not mind this. As long as your heart is clean, you have a fresh future in this world.”
Li Yi was sobbing beyond words. In the span of 2 years, she had nightmares every day. She did not dare let Older Brother Ah Long touch her, and she was afraid that he would realize the fact that she was no longer clean anymore.
The people from the mountains were all conservative in their mind-sets, and a girl like her would be thrown to the pig sty.
She was not confident, and she was fearful. She was unable to wake up from her nightmare.
At this moment now, she felt relieved and free.
Still, it hurt so much.
Li Yi let go of Ning Qing and wiped her own tears away. “Director Ning, what should I do right now? I slit my wrists trying to attempt suicide. I felt that I really almost died. Now, I don’t want to die anymore. I suddenly realized that I have been living such a poor life in the past, but I have been living like this for the past 24 years. I don’t know how else to live.”
Ning Qing stretched out her hand to wipe the tears off her face, and she slowly curled up the corners of her lips. She had a gentle smile on her face while she said, “Xiao Yi, go overseas then. Leave this sad place behind, and let the hurt in your heart dissolve with time, and although you’re carrying your load with you, you can start all over again. You are still young; you still have time.”
“Going overseas?” Li Yi’s gaze was all in a daze as she said, “This is the furthest place that I’ve ever gone. Can I do it?”
“Going overseas will be very tough. Li Yi, are you afraid of going through difficulties?”
Li Yi shook her head while she said, “When I was together with…we both had it tough together, only that I did it for him in the past. Could I actually do it for myself right now?”
Ning Qing nodded her head and she took out a huge envelope from her bag, “Xiao Yi, this are the tickets and passport. After you go to England, there will be a person there to receive you. I have prepared a place for you stay, and the things that you would need, like clothes and food. After you have settled down there and attend university, work hard on learning a foreign language. Don’t you like to make dolls? Do not ever forget our dream about the big cloth doll. I believe that you can do it.”
Li Yi’s tears rolled down her cheeks once again. This time, it was because she was moved. She took the envelope in her hand and nodded her head firmly. “I will. Director Ning, thank you.”
…
Ning Qing sent Li Yi off to the airport. As they walked into the main doors of the airport, Xiao Zhou bent down by Ning Qing’s ears as she whispered a few words.
Ning Qing looked at Li Yi’s tiny face as she said, “Xiao Yi, Liu Wenlong did not listen to my instructions, and he secretly flew over here. He is on the way here now, do you want to look at him for the last time?”
Li Yi froze, and her eyes quickly went blank. This was the man whom she had loved for 24 years.
“There is no need for that.” Li Yi shook her head, and she went forward to hug Ning Qing. “Ning Qing, can I address you like this?”
Ning Qing gave a gentle and sweet smile as she said, “Of course you can.”
Li Yi waved the envelope in her hand as she said,” Ning Qing, I am unable to express my thanks in word., I hope that there will be a day that I will be able to repay you, and I still need to thank you again. I will be leaving now.”
“Okay, I will wait for you. But first, you have to lead your own life to the best you can.”
Li Yi nodded her head, “I definitely will!”
Li Yi turned to leave.
At this moment, a large group of journalists swarmed into the airport from outside, and Liu Wenlong was in the middle of the group of journalists. Liu Wenlong rushed over here.
“Xiao Yi!” Liu Wenlong stood in the main hall and screamed with his entire heart towards Li Yi’s back profile. “Xiao Yi, where are you going to? Don’t you want me anymore?”
Li Yi stopped in her tracks.
At this moment, the journalists crowded Li Yi, and everyone handed the microphone over to her, “Miss Li, regarding the matter where Liu Wenlong was caught having an affair, can you tell us something?”
The tears were circling around in Li Yi’s eyes. She placed her two hands together and bowed her head. “I hope everything will come to an end. I have already let go of everything. Also, this matter has led me to meet the most beautiful person that I have ever met in my entire life. Ning Qing, thank you. We will meet again if fate decides.”
Li Yi took brisk steps to the customs area, and the airport security blocked everyone else outside. Li Yi disappeared from view.
Liu Wenlong saw that Li Yi was unwilling to look at him before she left, and the man who was 5ft 7 inches, knelt down in the main hall with a loud bang, and he used both hands to cup his face. He was crying pitifully.
The journalists observed the scene on hand and everyone looked at each other’s expressions. This tough man from Dongbei was sobbing uncontrollably, and that explained everything. There was no need for them to interview him any further.
Everyone looked towards the distance away. Ning Qing stood at a corner of the main hall. There were 6 or 7 bodyguards beside her, and Xiao Zhou was standing behind her. She had the demeanor of a big boss.
She still had a pair of big sunglasses on her face. Both of her hands were at her sides, and her small waist was straight and upright. She quietly looked at Liu Wenlong who was kneeling down, and did not say anything. A meticulous journalist noticed there were wet marks on Ning Qing’s face.
The amount of time that Liu Wenlong cried for. Ning Qing accompanied him to stand for however long, and the journalists also waited along with them.
About 10 minutes later, Liu Wenlong stopped crying. He stood up feeling lost, and he slowly walked towards Ning Qing.
Ning Qing turned around, and brought Liu Wenlong away without saying a single word.
The journalist watched Ning Qing from afar, and after she made a turn, all that the journalists were left with was her cold, experienced wind that her sleeve had blown towards them.
They could not tell which part of Ning Qing had changed. It was probably the last sentence that Li Yi said, directing her words to the most beautiful person that she had ever met in her entire life, or it was probably Liu Wenlong following behind her without a single word. It was probably her graceful and calm demeanour in handling the entire matter, or maybe it was the air surrounding her that was like that of a queen…
This new director that started her own studio was changing everyday. She was like an attractive rose, and she was slowly going into full bloom.
…
Liu Wenlong sat in the back of the limo. Ning Qing and Xiao Zhou sat in the front, and Lu Shaoming temporarily went back to Guang Qing.
Xiao Zhou, who sat in the front, asked Ning Qing, “Ning Qing, do you think Li Yi can adapt to life overseas and be able to lead a good life?”
Ning Qing took off her sunglasses, and her eyes were red rimmed as she looked outside the window. She nodded her head as she said, “She definitely can. A person like Xiao Yi, the more naïve she is in her thinking, the more direct she would be. After she has made up her mind, she will break down her boundaries and be able to start afresh.”
“Yeah.” Xiao Zhou nodded her head, and she emotionally said, “At that time, I was still very jealous of Liu Wenlong and Li Yi. I thought that they were well matched with one another. I did not think a thing like this would happen. Li Yi has made her own decisions so quickly and definitely; she was not even willing to see Liu Wenlong for the last time. I think this is the best punishment for Liu Wenlong.”
Ning Qing shook her head as she said, “No, Li Yi still loves Liu Wenlong deeply inside her heart. Not seeing him is the best kind of hidden love that Li Yi could give him.”
“Why do you say that?” Xiao Zhou did not understand.
Ning Qing slowly said, “A person like Liu Wenlong has been living with himself as the centre of the world for the past 20 plus years. As a proud and arrogant figure, I believe that if Li Yi were to tell him that she had exchanged her body to make him the champion of the audition program, Liu Wenlong would be ruined.”
Xiao Zhou understood, and she let out a sigh. She had a smile on her face as she said, “No matter what, Ning Qing, we seem to conclude this matter well. The next thing we should be thinking about is how to get our reputation back again. Ning Qing, what do you plan to do?”
Ning Qing laughed for a while, and she buried her soft back into the seat as she said, “We don’t have to do anything temporarily. Wait for me to inform you.”
“Okay.” Xiao Zhou was full of confidence as she said, “Then Ning Qing, should we resume filming?”
“There is no need for that. We’re not the ones who should be in a hurry. Let us wait for others to come looking for us before we think of our next plan.”
“Then Ning Qing, where do you want to go now?”
“Hmm, I am so exhausted after being so busy these past few days. Take me to Guang Qing. I want to go look for Shaoming.”
…
When Ning Qing went to Guang Qing, Lu Shaoming was in the middle of a meeting. When she was in his office waiting for him, she felt drowsy, so she curled up in his sofa to catch forty winks. She fell asleep in the end.
