Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 641 - 501: The Young Man Known as the Stock God
Qin Hui...
Su Xiaomeng took a deep breath, got out of bed, and didn’t rush.
She put on her shoes, went to wash up, applied skincare products, and even combed her hair.
When leaving the bedroom, Qin Hui was discussing life and studies at the University of Bath with her mother.
Su Xiaomeng couldn’t help but notice that during her mother’s stay in London for these past few days, she had been inquiring, intentionally or unintentionally, about every detail of her life and studies.
She originally thought that after getting married, her mother would have fewer worries about her, but it turns out that in these years of marriage, she’s actually made her mother worry even more.
"Xiao Meng, why are you standing there? Your classmate is here to see you."
Su’s mother said when she saw Su Xiaomeng standing by the side hall.
Bai Sixian only knew that Qin Hui was Xiaomeng’s classmate and didn’t know about Qin Hui’s relationship with Eric, nor that Qin Hui was actually present on the day of that horrific event.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hui quickly turned around, and there was a fleeting moment of evasiveness and teasing in her eyes when meeting Su Xiaomeng’s gaze, but immediately after...
She raised her hand and waved,
"Hi, Xiao Meng..."
Su Xiaomeng’s smile was a bit forced.
Qin Hui noticed but could only deliberately ignore it.
Xiaomeng walked over and asked her mother,
"Aren’t Shuangshuang and Huanghuang home?"
"Lily and Claire took them to the supermarket; the siblings insisted on going. Maybe they have something they want to buy."
"Oh."
Su’s mother got up,
"You two chat, I’ll prepare lunch. Xiao Hui, stay for lunch, okay?"
Qin Hui nodded and agreed outright,
"Sure."
Su’s mother went into the kitchen, leaving Su Xiaomeng and Qin Hui in the living room,
"Want some fruit? The TV remote is in the drawer of the coffee table, watch whatever you like—"
"Xiao Meng, I’m here today to say goodbye to you."
"..."
Qin Hui had lost a lot of weight. She was already thin, and now her chin was as sharp as a celebrity’s.
Su Xiaomeng looked at her with a slight astonishment, her large, clear eyes watching her...
Qin Hui chuckled and pointed at a large suitcase beside her,
"Look, I’ve packed my luggage, my flight’s tonight." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Spring break is almost over, if you leave now, won’t you be back soon?"
"I’m not coming back anymore. I’ve already completed the withdrawal formalities, and neither London nor Bath will see me again."
She said with a beaming smile, as if making this decision was easy.
The surprise on Su Xiaomeng’s face slowly faded, only to be replaced by an indescribable gloom...
"How’s your foot?"
"...It’s much better."
"That’s good! Surviving a disaster, there’s sure to be good fortune! Xiao Meng, you will definitely become an extremely outstanding woman in the future!"
"...Thank you."
"Why do you look so gloomy..."
Qin Hui pursed her lips, her forced bright smile becoming stiffer under Su Xiaomeng’s somewhat cold response.
"I... I thought you would replace Cherry and be with Eric..."
Su Xiaomeng’s words were uncertain...
She knew she had underestimated Qin Hui, which led her to think this way.
Qin Hui didn’t mind much but softened her stiff expression, and gently said,
"How could I be with him? Over a hundred lives, such a heavy guilt, I... I can’t bear it with him."
"..."
"I admit, when he abandoned Chu Jiao to save me, a hint of thrill crossed my mind, thinking it was a kind of revenge on Chu Jiao."
"But later, seeing the follow-up developments, the horrific scenes, the despairing scenes... I didn’t feel even a bit of relief."
Qin Hui’s shoulder trembled slightly as she recalled that nightmare.
It’s a memory that a survivor can never forget.
"Every time I think of you and your two adorable children, who almost died in that disaster, I feel dread."
"The remaining bit of fancy and unwillingness towards Eric, the part that made me feel as if he was the only one, also vanished..."
"Xiao Meng, do you believe it? Liking or not liking, is just a thought away."
"I stopped liking him, and with just that thought, I was no longer moved by him."
Su Xiaomeng couldn’t make any judgments about the feelings between Qin Hui and Eric.
But for Qin Hui to give up her studies at Bath, to treat London as a kind of taboo... inevitably felt a bit regrettable.
"Let’s not talk about the past, okay?"
Qin Hui suggested, taking a deep breath.
"Okay."
Su Xiaomeng agreed.
The disaster that left no good memories for anyone was finally over.
Whether it was her or Qin Hui, they weren’t the instigators of the disaster, nor did they want to be perpetual victims.
"This isn’t a good place anyway, our own country is much better!"
Su Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows and joked with her!
"Exactly!"
Qin Hui stretched her arms, giving a big lazy stretch!
The two women around the same age looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.
Soon, Claire and Lily returned with Shuangshuang and Huanghuang, carrying two big bags of snacks!
Su’s mother prepared a sumptuous and delicious lunch, as a send-off for Qin Hui.
Lunch was eaten with great joy.
After lunch, Qin Hui was about to leave, her small figure dragging a big suitcase.
Su Xiaomeng, with her injured leg, couldn’t accompany her any further.
She watched Qin Hui leave... The departing figure looked carefree and happy.
But seeing that big suitcase, Xiaomeng felt it was incomparably heavy.
Before Qin Hui entered the elevator, she stopped and looked up at the ceiling, her lips moved, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.
After Qin Hui left, Su Xiaomeng also looked up at the ceiling...
Upstairs, there once lived their teacher.
A beautiful woman who pursued ultimate perfection her whole life, yet lost her young life in endless regret and helplessness.
Su Xiaomeng returned to her room.
Qin Hui was gone, Han Tan also hadn’t appeared since the terrorist attack.
Perhaps, the ordinary identity he used to disguise himself couldn’t be maintained any longer, so he also withdrew from school.
Eric hadn’t appeared yet.
Xiaomeng held the ring around her neck, the ring symbolizing the Windsor Royal Family, the key to billions in assets.
She knew well what to do, whether Eric came or not, it was actually irrelevant.

Three days later.
65% of Shengde Group’s shares changed hands, and the buyer remains unknown!
This was the headline from the most authoritative economic newspaper in the country.
On the fourth day.
It was rumored that within Shengde Group’s boardroom there was constant contention, and the largest shareholder still refused to reveal themselves!
Fifth day, sixth day...
When Shi Shengde was frantic inside his grand luxurious office.
Yin Shixiu was still going to the company during the day to handle important matters and returning home at night to be with his wife and children.
He had already become the largest shareholder of Shengde Group, yet he had no intention of taking responsibility for Shengde Group.
The big funds he invested in the acquisition, to him, seemed just like taking stacks of paper money from a Monopoly set.
The malicious dumping of shares drove Shengde Group’s stock to an unprecedented low.
The entire Shengde senior management quarrelled and tangled in the meeting room, thinking hard for solutions but achieving nothing...
Shi Shengde, with his bad temper, couldn’t tolerate some shareholders’ harsh words.
As a result, while Shi Shengde was still in conflict with shareholders, Yin Shixiu quietly signed several more stock transfer agreements of Shengde Group.
And all of these, by the time Shi Shengde realized, he was left with nothing but frustration!
However, once the stock transfer agreement is signed, it’s no longer so easy to keep the acquisition information confidential.
However, when Shi Shengde found out about the information on the acquirer, he was once again very upset!
"When did you offend the Zeng Family?"
Shi Yuancheng, upon hearing his son talk about the acquirer information, couldn’t help but frown and asked him.
Zeng Xiaocheng, a famous figure at the Wall Street Financial Center, known as the "Stock God," a young Chinese-American, the youngest grandson of Elder Zeng, only twenty-six this year.
