Chapter 17：Forgiveness (1/2)

Qian Meigui felt that her relationship with Song Sheng was beyond repair, but she was glad that Song Ren forgave him. It was what their family needed.

Song Sheng stood and glanced at her, ”I'll be leaving now,” he said.

”What are you doing today?” she asked.

”I'm going back to the apartment to unpack what arrived today from England.”

Indeed, she remembered he went to England to exchange some business. But she did not know that he stayed there for some time as he travelled from country to country across Europe.

”Do you need any help?” she asked.

”No, it's all right,” he declined.

”I have nothing to do today,” she insisted.

Song Sheng exhaled deeply, ”All right,” he said, feeling defeated. Qian Meigui smiled to herself and followed him out of the door. They headed towards the gate, and she hopped into his Maybach.

Song Sheng turned on the radio with some light music playing, and they drove silently towards his apartment complex. When they arrived, it was a towering building with transparent windows and balconies.

Qian Meigui followed him into the building where they met with security. The security let them pass when he presented his residence card. The receptionist greeted him by name, ”Young Master Sheng.”

He informed security that Qian Meigui was his guest as visitors were typically not allowed to go in without the company of a resident.

Many wealthy, high profiled people and influencers lived in the same complex. Qian Meigui stepped into the elevator next to him when he scanned his card and pressed the button to the last floor.

When Qian Meigui and Song Sheng stepped out of the elevator, she glanced around the massive opened space, expecting to see halls for rooms, but the entire floor was his. She was accustomed to viewing grand houses, but to own an entire floor of an apartment complex was something she'd never seen before.

It had two levels, a bar, a kitchen and several rooms on both levels — most of the complex filled with unpackaged boxes around a few pieces of expensive furniture.

Qian Meigui was not sure how Song Sheng had owned so many things.

Song Sheng noticed her reaction and said, ”Most of my stuff came from my old apartment, while other things came from England. I have not been around much to do some unpacking.”

With everything that clouded his mind, Song Sheng kept busy with work. For days he contemplated leaving the country again, but when he saw Qian Meigui cry, he decided that he should stay. And when Song Ren forgave him, he felt that things were beginning to get better.

He has a new apartment, a new job, and his relationship with his family was steady, but some part of him still felt unsettled and doubted whether he made the right choice.
