Chapter 473: 473
Chapter 473 You Really Hate Him?

As a Chinese saying went, even a day together as husband and wife meant endless devotion for the rest of your life . Zhao Anzhi and Qin Changxing had been married for forty years . They used to be two love birds in the first twenty years, but acted like enemies in the latter twenty years . At the moment, they seemed to have simply forgotten they were still married .

Qin Changxing chose to become a monk twenty years back in the Nanchan Temple . Even as a monk, he still suffered from the sad feelings about his marriage . His wife Zhao Anzhi had not attempted to contact him since then . In other words, he had not seen his wife in twenty years . The only accessible information about his wife came from his younger brother, Qin Changan, and through other friends who went to visit him sometimes .

Even Qin Changxing himself had no idea that he had any children until a couple years back when Qin Changan went to see him and told him about a daughter he had not known about before . Qin Changxing was shocked and still for quite a while . He asked for more details and then he burst out crying tears of joy .

Qin Changan was of course telling the truth to his elder brother . This was quite important . She was Qin Changxing’s only daughter and Qin Changan’s niece, a part of the Qin Family . Qin Changxing and his wife used to be a DINK family . It was quite an accident that when Qin Changxing decided to become a monk, Zhao Anzhi found out that she was pregnant, but she didn’t tell her husband . The Qin Family was at the very center of a series of hurricane-like difficulties . Zhao Anzhi didn’t want to trouble his husband anymore, so she took their daughter to Canada .

The girl had become a young lady as years passed . She had just gotten her Master’s degree the year before, to later begin to work in the North American Branch of Qin Changan’s company . This was a secret only known by Qin Changan, Zhao Anzhi and her families . Not even Qin Ran had a clue about her cousin .

Qin Changxing had been sitting in the yard for quite a long time . Moon was in the sky and breeze swept through the willows . A young monk came to him and said, “Senior Uncle, it’s cold in the spring night . It’s time to go back and have some rest . ” This young monk used to be quite an outstanding young man . He even had a PhD on Architecture, but he chose to become a monk after being out of love .

Qin Changxing made a gesture asking him to leave him be . He just wanted to be alone . The young monk sighed and left .

After a while, an elder monk approached Qin Changxing and said, “Junior Brother, I’ve never seen you like this . ”

“Senior Brother, am I wrong?” Qin Changxing asked . He had been thinking about this all day long .

This elder monk was the abbot of the temple, a well-known master of Buddhism in Mount Wutai . But he didn’t care about the things that happened outside the temple . The elder monk smiled and said, “Right or wrong, only you have the real answer . No one else does . You’ve already found your own answer, right? Junior Brother, you have stayed in this temple for years, but I think you never left your past behind . I have no idea what your past is like, but I know Buddhism . If you don’t release those things dragging you down, the time you’ve spent in the temple would have been meaningless . ”

“Thank you, Senior Brother . I’ll think about it carefully,” Qin Changxing said and nodded . He knew why his wife had visited him . She had returned to see THAT young man, the one who had been taken away by Old Master Qin . There was no other reason . Zhao Changan gave him two essential pieces of information: First of all, that young man represented the future of the Qin Family; secondly, his brother Qin Changan had never mentioned this to him . And he was also thinking about what Qin Changan had told him in his last visit—their father died .

Obviously, Sheng’er had been home .

When Sheng’er was taken away, the Qin Family was in its largest chaos . Although Qin Sheng returned at a time when the Qin Family was like the sun in broad daylight—quite influential, it was hard to say when the next downfall would come . The only consistent thing in the world was change . With continuous reforms in the new era, the upstart was eager to strike at people who came from old money . The Qin Family was among those of old money who were targeted . That was why Qin Changxing was worried .

Zhao Anzhi saw Qin Changxing and left Mount Wutai, returning to Beijing by car . She had gone there directly from the airport and had yet to see anyone else . Before she arrived, she had a lot to say to her husband, but those words faded away once she stood in front of him, face to face .

Zhao Anzhi reached Beijing and settled at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel close to the Qin Family’s siheyuan . She used to live in her parents’ place or the Qin Family’s siheyuan whenever she visited Beijing . This time she chose another place to live since she had something to take care of .

The Qin Family had been living in that siheyuan for several generations . But the siheyuan had been sold when the family was in crisis . A couple of years after the crisis, Qin Changan bought it back and repaired it when his business endeavors became successful .

Zhao Anzhi entered the hotel suite . A girl in gray pajamas was washing her face in the bathroom . She was sleepy and her hair was a mess .

“Mom?” The girl heard the door opening .

The girl’s voice finally relieved Zhao Anzhi’s mind; her frown faded away . She felt quite at ease as she replied, “Yaya, you just got up, right? I’m sorry for the jet lag . ”

The girl didn’t answer her before she went out of the bathroom . “I’m just too tired for working overtime these days . I’m OK . Jet lag is nothing . Don’t worry, Mom . ”

“Just dress up, then . We’ll have dinner with your uncle and auntie later . ” Zhao Anzhi lay on the sofa and began to reply to messages in her cellphone .

Yaya frowned and said, “I’d like to visit Uncle Changan . I have a lot to report to him . The staff in North America is full of idiots . What a way to ruin everything . ”

“No work today, honey . Don’t become a workaholic . Humph, just like a true Qin Family member would act, huh? You’re worrying too much for your Uncle Changan,” Zhao Anzhi said .

Yaya was the very daughter of Zhao Anzhi and Qin Changxing . She was beautiful thanks to the good genes from the Qin Family . Her face was quite charming; she looked kind of like Qin Ran .

Yaya rarely went back to China . It was during her teens when she visited her mother country for the first time and was introduced to all those relatives . She returned to China a few times after that . Zhao Anzhi, though, didn’t want her daughter to become a “banana”—a person of yellow Asian skin but being white inside . Yaya was raised with traditional Chinese culture, and she could speak very good Chinese . Besides, she was also fluent in French and German .

“Mom, you saw him, right?” Yaya asked with her mind stirring . She knew it . Her mother must have gone to see that man, her father . She had no feelings for him since she had never met him, except for his pictures . She was more familiar with her uncle, whom she had met and seen several times . Even when her mother asked her whether she wanted to see him, she refused . She just didn’t know what to say to him . The only connection between them their blood ties .

Zhao Anzhi nodded and said, “Yes, I did . I felt disappointed . He used to be energetic and positive, but now… He’s nothing but an old monk . He’s not the man I used to know anymore . ”

Yaya could imagine what her father looked like from her mother’s description, so she didn’t want to see him at all . She didn’t hate him, and she never did, not once . He had just been absent in her life . By then, it was meaningless to disturb each other’s lives . She would have recognized him as her father if he had acted as one for even one day during the time of her growth . But the truth was bitter .

“Mom, do you still hate him?” Yaya asked, wondering about the answer .

Zhao Anzhi answered without a second thought, “Of course, I hate him . Why not?”

Yaya continued, “Really? Are you telling me the truth? Or are you lying? I know your answer, Mom . You still love him, right?”

Zhao Anzhi fell silent .

Anyway, they were husband and wife, they never divorced . She had left for Canada and remained there all those years . If she really hated him, she would have divorced him . She still remembered how positive and brilliant Qin Changxing was when he was young; and how he achieved such a successful career . Everybody admired him . She loved THAT Qin Changxing .

But what about then? Her love came to an end the moment her husband chose to become a monk in a Buddhist temple . She only felt hatred when that happened . But the love and the hatred were both present in her mind . She lived in an eternal contradiction . That was why she had been escaping, avoiding to see him . Qin Changxing escaped from reality, and she escaped from her husband .

Yaya saw her mother, whose mind was wandering, and didn’t ask any more questions . She returned to China to report about her work in North America to her uncle, and to see her two cousins, Uncle Changan’s daughter and son . She was quite excited about that .

Qin Changan, though, had no idea that his sister-in-law had arrived in Beijing . For some reasons, his sister-in-law had to return to do something . After all, Qin Changan had promised to give Yaya a share of the company’s stock .

Qin Sheng, however, arrived in Xi’an with Chang Baji and Hao Lei . Hao Lei didn’t inform his parents of his return, since he wasn’t planning to visit them . He and Chang Baji would both live at the Hyatt Hotel, which was near the Jindi Furong Shijia, Qin Ran’s place .

First they sent Qin Sheng to the Jindi Furong Shijia, and then went to check in at the hotel . Qin Sheng told Hao Lei about his plan, including the people he would see this day and the next day, including the special arrangements for dinner . Chang Baji also had his mission . That was to get in touch with the businessman who used to be his boss in Xi’an, to be ready to help if it was needed .

Qin Sheng had informed Auntie Wang and Xin Xin in advance that he was back in Xi’an, that was why Xin Xin had also returned to Xi’an the night before . Auntie Wang and Xin Xin were both waiting for Qin Sheng at home, anxious and with anticipation . Without Qin Sheng, they had no idea about what to do with the current situation . They had been waiting for this day for years .

Qin Changan’s promise gave Qin Sheng the confidence to settle the matters in Xi’an . He would surely encounter resistance, but Qin Sheng was unstoppable at the moment .
