Chapter 1109 - 1081: Qian Buys a Car
"Of course, although you might never meet another man with Mingyi’s qualities in your lifetime, as long as you work earnestly, eventually there will be a man suitable for you. Even if you take ten thousand steps back and don’t have a good marriage, having a successful career is also possible. And if you don’t have a great career, living a safe and peaceful life is also a form of happiness."
Qian summed up her thoughts in the most precise sentence, "Some people will never figure out their lives even if they are reborn a hundred times. A cow brought to Beijing remains a cow and cannot become a unicorn. Don’t think you have the kind of skills mentioned in novels; those are just made up to fool people."
"Is peace and safety really happiness?" Wang Xiaohong murmured Qian’s words.
Qian stood up, "I’ve said all that I should, whether you can comprehend it is up to you. Actually, regretting the past is the most meaningless behavior, because time never stops moving forward. When you regret the past, time also slips away in the regret. Instead of pondering endlessly about being reborn and restarting from a vague place, why not think about how to earnestly live well now and in the future."
Having said that, regardless of Wang Xiaohong’s expression, Qian strode out of the room.
Stepping outside and looking at the clouds in the sky, she curled her lips and murmured.
"We women who strive hard and keep fighting can’t afford to be reborn. There’s no spare quota for you all."
A person with low intelligence and inability to understand things—even if they are reborn ten thousand times, what’s the use? What’s more, even if someone with a problematic worldview and poor morals is reborn and can endure in silence and repent, their core values remain unchanged and they will still be unlucky.
Mentality determines everything. Someone who sees the world as distorted, who views everyone around them as the extreme—even if reborn, they’ll end up fighting tirelessly their whole life.
After coming out, Qian suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, what was the answer to the villain’s last question?" This matter seemed resolved to Qian, but the only thing she didn’t understand was that mysterious last question when outsmarting the villain.
"I haven’t figured that out either. His answer to the last question was Qio Yu Xuan."
"... Who?!" Qian had thought about this.
That person asked her who gave her life. Qian considered several answers like her mother and lousy father, and even Xiaoqiang because without Xiaoqiang, she wouldn’t have her current personality and everything.
But unexpectedly, the answer turned out to be Qio Yu Xuan.
"Why did he write this?" Qian was puzzled.
"I don’t know either. I thought about it for a long time but couldn’t figure it out. Unfortunately, they say that guy’s state is unstable now, and he’s constantly shouting about ghosts, probably impossible to get anything from his mouth," Yu Minglang said regretfully.
"Could it be that guy knows Qio Yu Xuan?" Qian immediately thought of this.
"I’ve investigated. The large enterprise he was with once collaborated with Qio Yu Xuan on a project, and as a senior executive, he must have met Qio Yu Xuan." Yu Minglang had researched this matter long before Qian woke up, investigating everything that needed to be investigated.
"Perhaps he is suggesting that I’m not yet at the level, and only by seeking further study from Qio Yu Xuan can I elevate further?" Qian could only think of this.
Yu Minglang felt something seemed off, but couldn’t find a better reason apart from this.
"Maybe. That guy’s thinking isn’t like ordinary people anyway. Someone obsessed with philosophy can commit so many heartless acts; his existence is inherently unusual."
"Exactly, no need to think too much about him. It’s not much related to us anyway. That guy will ultimately have to pay with his life."
Qian didn’t want to dwell on this problem much. To her, this episode had finally passed, and a new Chapter of life was about to start.
Fall passed, winter came, a few months went by, and winter arrived at the blink of an eye.
As the peak season for car sales, various major automakers in Lishi held a large-scale auto show, featuring not only numerous commuting cars but also some luxury brands. What’s more captivating than the chic, lightly dressed models is the kilometer-long test drive zone set up outside the exhibition hall, offering the chance to personally test drive luxury cars, enticing many people to try.
A gray LH Land Rover raced through the test track and stopped. The car door opened, and a tall, handsome man in a gray wool coat stepped out, inviting a woman in a puffy down jacket from the passenger seat.
"Is this car good?" Qian tugged at her thick down jacket, enviably and jealously glanced at how stylish Yu Minglang dressed in his coat. This guy insisted on bundling her up like this to let her out, yet he dressed so sharply—in clothes she personally chose and bought, matching her tastes and fit him well indeed, but he looked too handsome, which was distressing for Qian.
She regretted dressing him so dashingly, feeling like numerous young women had been stealing glances at him along the way.
The tough-guy aura cultivated from long work hours made him stand out even in casual attire during his downtime. At the bustling car show, he couldn’t be overshadowed. There were quite a few men eyeballing Qian as well; her vibrant face couldn’t be hidden under the puffy jacket, drawing attention alongside her husband.
However, they did not come here just for showing off. With the upcoming holiday season, Qian wanted to get herself a new car.
"It’s pretty good." Yu Minglang caressed the car. His eyes revealed that this top-tier SUV with a price exceeding 2 million suited him well.
The sales consultant beside saw this scene and quickly approached, pouring out a slew of data on the car. This luxury brand, newly introduced to the mainland two years ago, wasn’t cheap, with buyers typically being well-off. Despite their young age, Qian and Yu Minglang exuded an air of elegance, clearly not ordinary people, making the sales consultant eager not to miss this opportunity to pitch a sale.
Encountering a consumer like Yu Minglang was a stroke of bad luck; regardless of the consultant’s impressive talk, Yu Minglang had only two words: "Pretty good."
Qian conscientiously listened and occasionally asked a few questions.
Once they asked enough, Qian turned to Yu Minglang, "You don’t like Hummers anymore?"
"The civilian version of the Hummer is just a showpiece. This car’s original design was to be a general-purpose military platform. For practical use, this one is better. It’ll be convenient in the future for things like mountain climbing, river crossing, or slope driving."
The sales consultant’s smile widened, just when he thought he’d made a sale, only to hear Yu Minglang say.
"Honey, let’s go. Haven’t you already decided to buy a BMW 5-series? I see it’s cleared up over there, let’s go pay and handle the paperwork."
His heart cracked in eight pieces! The sales consultant realized that the client’s purchase decision had long been made!
