Chapter 985 Thirty Years of War (1/2)

In the previous world, Qi Wang devoted everything he had to this country. In this place that was very similar to the world he originally lived in, Qi Wang was not worried that his actions would affect the development of the world. With his participation and help, this country developed at an incredible speed. The sleeping dragon woke up. With the help of thousands of people working together, it soared into the sky and soared into the sky, becoming an existence admired by all countries in the world.

Qi Wang did not need to get entangled with Li Wantao and Luo Shan. From the moment he entered the university, their fates had become two parallel lines that never intersected. As Qi Wang's fame grew, the pain they endured also increased.

They regretted every day, thinking that if they had not done the kind of thing that betrayed and hurt Qi Wang, now they could share his glory, they could stand by Qi Wang's side, and accompany him to be worshipped and admired by the world.

Unfortunately, there is no "if" in this world. Some things can be made up, but some things cannot be made up. They have become people from two different worlds with Qi Wang. No matter what, they can no longer reach the person who has become as blazing as the sun. They are left with nothing but regret.

Qi Wang was still young when he received the task completion reminder. He had a lot of things to do. The world was in ruins. He was too busy to pay attention to the two insignificant people. After the task was completed, he did not choose to leave this world, but continued to live as the original owner.

When Qi Wang was 101 years old, he was already very old. The world had become what they dreamed of. He closed his eyes in his home and slowly stopped breathing.

***

The spring in Jinling City is a bit hard to bear. The weather is hot and cold, and it is unpredictable. Yesterday was a sunny day, and the clothes on the body have been changed into thin spring clothes. The ladies of the wealthy families all put on beautiful Western dresses, and their curly hair was scattered behind them, with an elegance that was out of tune with this world.

However, the thin Western dresses had not been worn for two days, and a spring rain suddenly came, and the previously rising heat was all taken away by the rain. The ladies complained about the changeable weather while asking the servants to take out the thick clothes that had been put away and put them on again.

In a very elegant small courtyard in the Qi family compound, the beautiful girl lying on the bed was shaking constantly. Her beautiful face was covered with a strong fear, and she made an indistinct mumbling sound from her mouth.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl suddenly woke up from the nightmare, and at this time she was soaked in cold sweat all over her body.

The girl looked around in panic and found that she was not in that dirty and shabby room, and those who had harassed her were not there. She was wearing silk pajamas with dark patterns, and she had not felt the comfortable and close-fitting texture for a long time.

Wasn't she dead? She died in that dirty and terrible place, and no one even collected her bones. She was buried in a deep pit dug casually with other women who had the same fate as her.

The girl was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time for her to react.

She went back to the past, back to when she was seventeen years old, she was still the little lady of the Qi family who was pampered by thousands of people, and everything that was like a nightmare did not happen.

"It's great, it's really great..."

The girl was afraid that all this was a dream, so she bit her arm hard, and the piercing pain came. She was not dreaming, this was all real.

The girl looked down at the clear tooth mark on her arm that she had bitten, and suddenly laughed, but she couldn't help but let her tears fall from her eyes.

It was really great. Everything was back to normal. She swore that she would never let the past life repeat itself. She would hold on to everything she had and would not let that person who suddenly appeared take everything away from her.

Just as the girl was secretly swearing, someone knocked on the door of the room from outside, and a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Sixth Miss, it's getting late. Didn't you make an appointment with Miss Zhang to go out to listen to an opera? If you don't get up now, it will be too late."

Miss Zhang? Listen to an opera?

Qi Yutong's delicate little face showed a deep confusion. She frowned and thought for a long time, and finally remembered who Miss Zhang was.

Miss Zhang was the daughter of Director Zhang's family. She was born to the wife that Director Zhang later married. Few people in the upper class circle of Jinling were willing to play with her. Only Qi Yutong thought she was a good person, so she often played with her. The two often went in and out together. Because of Qi Yutong's relationship, Zhang Xinrui's position in the circle of wives and ladies rose a lot.

Zhang Xinrui is also one of the few true friends of Qi Yutong. In her previous life, when she was kicked out of the Qi family, Zhang Xinrui secretly helped her and helped her through the most difficult days.

But later, Director Zhang was assassinated, and the status of the Zhang family plummeted. Zhang Xinrui's mother took her back to her maternal grandparents' home, and the two broke off their relationship.

Later, the war broke out, Jinling City fell, and Qi Yutong was unable to escape...

The nightmare-like memories surged towards her like a tide, and Qi Yutong's face turned pale. She shook her head vigorously, shaking out all those memories.

She knew nothing in her previous life, so she ended up in such a tragic end. She had a chance to live again. This time, she knew the course of history and would definitely not repeat the same mistakes.

"Miss Six, Miss Six? Are you awake?"

The woman's urging voice came from outside the door again. Qi Yutong came back to her senses and said hurriedly: "I'm awake, go down and tell the driver to get ready. I'll go out after I finish washing up."

After hearing her words, the woman outside the door responded and turned away. Qi Yutong got up from the bed and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Qi Yutong looked at the flawless girl in the mirror and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face.

She was born very beautiful, and her beauty was unmatched by her other two sisters. In the past, both of them were very jealous of her appearance because she was always favored by those young men, and many literati and talented people would write poems to praise her beauty. When she was in school, she often received love letters, which was a treatment that neither of her two sisters had.

In fact, the appearance of the two sisters could not be said to be ugly, but because she was in front of them, with her beauty as a comparison, the two were immediately suppressed by her and dimmed.

So they were very jealous of her and would make trouble for her from time to time, but because of the existence of the eldest brother, they did not dare to make big moves, and only dared to make some small moves behind her back.

Thinking of her eldest brother, Qi Yutong's expression became trance.

The eldest brother actually loved her very much. The age difference between the two was a bit big. The eldest brother was eight years older than her. He treated her like a daughter and would send her any good things. Many of her things were the first in Jinling City, and no one else had such treatment as her.

But later, a large part of her tragedy was caused by this elder brother. Qi Yutong's mood was very complicated, but if she hated this elder brother, it was not to that extent. After all, she was the first to make a mistake. If what she did had not broken the elder brother's bottom line, he would have always protected her. After all, the elder brother always loved her very much...

Qi Yutong's expression became dazed. She didn't come out of the bathroom until she felt a little cold. She wrapped herself in a bath towel and went to the closet to choose clothes.

There were a lot of clothes in her closet, most of which were bought for her by her elder brother. Those clothes were very beautiful, which made her originally outstanding appearance more beautiful. Every time she wore these clothes, she would become the focus of the crowd. Everyone would involuntarily notice her and forget who the real host of the banquet was.

But in the dark memories of her previous life, Qi Yutong didn't like these gorgeous clothes very much. She picked and chose for a long time and finally found a plain dress.

This dress was altered by her mother. The dress she bought was too complicated and gorgeous. She felt it was cumbersome, but she really liked the style. Her mother altered the dress for her overnight, retaining the original style to the maximum extent, but without the cumbersome pendants. It became refreshing and simple. Paired with the diamond necklace given by her eldest brother for her sixteenth birthday, it was simple but elegant, and also suppressed her outstanding appearance.

After putting on this outfit, the girl in the floor-length mirror had a little more gentleness. Qi Yutong looked at herself in the mirror, slightly curled the corners of her mouth, and a little more light smile appeared on her face.

By the time she had packed up and came out, it was already half an hour later. The maids who had been waiting outside the house had been waiting. When they saw Qi Yutong coming out, they bowed to her and asked respectfully, "Sixth Miss, breakfast is ready. Do you want to eat?"

Qi Yutong shook her head and said, "No, I'm going to my mother's place for dinner."

As she said that, she waved to the maids, asking them not to follow her, and she walked quickly out of the small courtyard.

The courtyard where Qi Yutong lived was not far from the main courtyard. Although the courtyard was not big, it was indeed carefully decorated by her mother. Not to mention her two sisters, even the courtyards of her second and third brothers could not compare to hers.

Qi Yutong walked briskly towards the hospital. It didn't take long for her to arrive. The maids and servants here all knew her. Everyone was very discerning and no one stopped her. Qi Yutong had no obstacles all the way and soon arrived at the restaurant in the upper room.

The dining table in the room was already filled with delicious food. A gentle woman in an indigo cheongsam was sitting next to the table reading a book. When she heard the footsteps of someone coming in, she put down the book in her hand, looked up, and saw Qi Yutong walking in.

After seeing Qi Yutong, the woman's face bloomed with a bright smile. She waved to Qi Yutong, motioning her to come to her.

Qi Yutong came over obediently. The maid next to her moved a chair to the position next to the woman with good eyesight. Qi Yutong sat down, then leaned over and snuggled into the arms of the gentle-looking woman.

"Mother, I miss you so much."

As she said this, Qi Yutong felt her eyes sour. She sniffed and tried to suppress her tears, not letting herself cry in front of the woman.

She kept telling herself that the things in the previous life had not happened yet, and everything had the opportunity to change. She would not let those bad things happen, and her mother would always be healthy...

Qin Minyan patted Qi Yutong's back and realized that her daughter's mood seemed not right. She asked softly: "Tongtong, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? I'll call Dr. Wang. Take a look."

Qi Yutong shook his head gently and said dullly: "Mom, I'm not sick, I just had a dream. I dreamed that my mother didn't want me anymore. I cried for a long time and asked my mother to look back at me, but she refused to look back. ,I am so sad……"

As she spoke, Qi Yutong's voice was choked with sobs, because she knew that it was not a dream, but everything that really happened. In her previous life, Qin Minyan finally gave up on her and refused to see her until she died. On her side...

But now how can she dare to say that it happened in her previous life? Let’s just say it was a nightmare.

Qin Minyan patted Qi Yutong's back gently and soothed her emotions softly: "Tongtong, you are my daughter, how could I not want you? You were the child I gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy, and you were born on my body. How can I not love you as a piece of meat? I will never want you..."

However, after hearing this, Qi Yutong's body stiffened for a moment, and after a long time, her voice came out muffled.

"If I were not my mother's daughter, would my mother still like me so much?"

Qin Minyan was stunned for a moment, with a look of helplessness on her face.

Why does my daughter always have these strange fantasies? If she is not my daughter, then whose daughter could she be? It won't be like what was sung in the playbook, and he was replaced by a civet cat for a prince. Besides, it would be a male doll, so who would replace it with a daughter's family?

Thinking of this, Qin Minyan comforted her with a bit of a smile: "Don't worry, even if you are not my daughter, I will still love you. I have raised you for seventeen years, and you have grown up from a little dumpling." I have a beautiful girl, how much will I suffer if I kick you out? Just rest assured, I will never want you."

Qi Yutong sobbed, hugged Qin Minyan tightly, and whispered: "I will never leave my mother. Even if my mother drives me away, I will not leave. I will be like a mangy dog, always relying on my mother's side, all my life." I won’t leave you.”

Seeing that Qi Yutong seemed to be talking more and more outrageously, Qin Minyan patted her back and pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, okay, how old are you, and you are still acting like a baby here? Get up quickly, and put these breakfasts on the table right away It’s all cold, no one will care if you have a stomachache after eating it.”

At this time, Qi Yutong finally adjusted her mood. She reluctantly climbed up from Qin Minyan's arms. When she looked at the other party's doting eyes, Qi Yutong sniffed in embarrassment and said dullly: " Mother, don’t laugh at me, I’m not like this usually, it’s just because I had nightmares, so I..."

Naturally, Qin Minyan would not really be angry with Qi Yutong. She smiled and scratched Qi Yutong's nose, and said dotingly: "Let's eat. I know you are coming over today, so I specially asked someone to make your favorite food, stuffed osmanthus. The Bazhen cake and Bazhen cake are both freshly brought out. They are sweetened according to your taste. You can try them.”

Qi Yutong obediently picked up the chopsticks on the side and started eating.

In fact, it has been more than eight years since she had eaten such delicious food. After being kicked out of the Qi family, despite Zhang Xinrui's help, her life was still tight. Zhang Xinrui didn't have much pocket money, and she didn't have much money. I'm embarrassed to keep asking for it, so the cost of food and clothing cannot be compared with what it was at Qi's house.

Later, the war broke out and Jinling fell. It became a luxury to survive, let alone eat these good things.

Tasting these delicacies again, Qi Yutong's mood was very complicated. She almost tasted these delicacies in a pious manner, with a look of satisfaction on her face every time she took a bite.

It was strange to see her like this. Qin Minyan looked at Qi Yutong with a smile, feeling that she seemed a little different now.

While the mother and daughter were having a warm meal, the pattering of footsteps came from outside. It was the sound of military boots stepping on the bluestone ground.

After hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Qi Yutong's body froze instantly. The piece of chestnut cake he had just picked up with chopsticks rolled down. The soft pastry fell on the mahogany table, and several edges were knocked off in an instant. The corner fell softly on the table.

Qi Yutong held the chopsticks and looked up blankly. When she saw the man striding in from the door, she felt as if the blood in her body was about to freeze.

Even though she had made countless psychological preparations before coming, even though she kept telling herself not to be afraid, to act normal and not to make people suspicious, Qi Yutong still couldn't help it when she saw the man who indirectly caused her tragic ending in her previous life. trembled.

It seemed to be raining outside. The man did not hold an umbrella. The tawny military cap was stained by the rain, giving it a darker color. He came in with a faint mist of moisture, and the temperature in the room dropped because of his presence. A few points.

Qin Minyan didn't notice anything wrong with Qi Yutong. When the young man in military uniform came in, her attention was already drawn to him.

"Aqi, you're back!"

Qin Minyan's face showed a bit of surprise. She stood up and walked quickly towards the young man. She slapped the man's body with her plain hands a few times, and her voice was a little choked. Come.

"You also know that you have been gone for three months since you came back, and you didn't even send back a phone call or a telegram. I thought you forgot that you still have me as your mother."

Qi Wang allowed Qin Minyan to slap him. He did not dodge and looked at the other party with gentle eyes.

"Mom, I know I was wrong and I won't do it next time."
