Chapter 134: Wrong, Completely Wrong

Shen Qingyue suddenly felt somewhat ridiculous. Qin Zhen actually didn’t remember. The memories she had cherished for so many years turned out to be just a solo performance for her alone. After a while, she spoke again, her throat a bit dry, “You made this with your own hands, and you don’t remember?”
“What are you talking about?” Qin Zhen was bewildered by Shen Qingyue’s inexplicable words. “Do you think I’m the kind of person who does crafts? And make a teddy bear with my own hands?”
“You can’t do crafts?” Shen Qingyue looked at him in shock, as if she was seeing
Qin Zhen for the first time. “You can’t do crafts? How is that possible… then, on
May 11th, ten years ago, did you stay at the Qin family’s estate in the suburbs?”
Qin Zhen frowned, “Who remembers something so far in the past… But ten years ago, that year, I was quite busy. I went to the neighboring province to participate in a math competition, came back and stayed for a few days, and then went into closed training again. Even during those few days I was back, I stayed at the old Qin family mansion…”
“Are you sure you’re not mistaking me for someone else?” Qin Zhen’s words struck Shen Qingyue like a bolt from the blue, making her suddenly realize something.
From the previous life to this one, over more than a decade, she had always had a doubt. Why did the boy who had given her so much warmth suddenly become so indifferent when they met again? But at that time, she didn’t pay attention to those details. She thought it was just that the boy had grown up and become shy… It was a youthful infatuation, and she had no time to consider anything else.
She only remembered that he had taught her how to make flower crowns, called her a princess… He was the first to rush out to protect her when she was bullied… He stood silently behind her when her parents’ anniversary came, accompanying her on a long, long walk… When she cried loudly, he gently patted her head and said, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
In fact, she had wondered why Qin Zhen wasn’t as gentle as he used to be, but she had never imagined that the warm-hearted boy from her childhood was not him at all? In that case, her previous life was truly a complete joke!
Qin Zhen noticed that her expression had become strange. “What’s wrong with you?”
Shen Qingyue snapped back to reality, looked deeply into his face, and did not say anything. She silently put the stuffed bear back into her bag, and turned and walked away.
Qin Zhen looked at her wooden back, and an inexplicable unease arose in his heart, as if something had completely disappeared at this moment.
He sat in a daze for a moment, and Wei Jiu’er pushed the door open again and asked, “Zhen, what did Qingyue say to you?”
“Some inexplicable things,” Oin Zhen replied as he lay down, carefully pondering Shen Qingyue’s words from earlier. She seemed to have mistaken a young man from ten years ago for him. Who was the person that she had remembered for so long? If he remembered correctly, Shen Qingyue suddenly had a good impression of him when he returned from a math competition ten years ago. At that time, he had thought it was another one of his fangirls…
So, the reality was completely different. Shen Qingyue had mistaken him for the young man from her memories, the one she originally liked, that unnamed young man. He was a substitute…
Thinking about this, Qin Zhen’s breath hitched, and his chest felt as if it were weighed down by a massive stone, heavy and suffocating. Should he have accepted that teddy bear earlier?
When she came out of the hospital, Shen Qingyue still looked somewhat dazed. Although she had let go of her feelings for Qin Zhen, the sudden realization that she had been liking the wrong person for over a decade was a heavy blow.
It was all wrong, completely wrong. She closed her eyes and suppressed the surging emotions. But even if she had mistaken the person, what could she do now? It was all in the past. That person, she had mistaken him at the beginning, which proved that she couldn’t find the real one…
At this moment, she received a message from Yu Zhuang, saying that Great Wall Construction was willing to participate in the cooperative construction of Project Suburb One and asked her to return to the company immediately.
Previously, the investments made by Changcheng Construction in several projects of the Shen Group had not yet generated profits, so it was surprising that they were reaching out to her again for further cooperation. When she returned to the company, Chen Jiang, the special assistant of Changcheng Construction, was already waiting for her in the meeting room.
Shen Qingyue walked in with a professional smile on her face. “Assistant Chen,
I apologize for keeping you waiting.”
Chen Jiang had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and was polite. “No problem, I just arrived myself.”
Shen Qingyue took a seat opposite Chen Jiang. “I heard that President Chi is here too. Why don’t I see him?”
“President Chi went to the restroom and will be back shortly,” Chen Jiang got to the point, “President Chi is very interested in the construction project of
Suburb One.. Would Miss Shen be willing to give us a chance to cooperate?”
