Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

"Is Yueyue at school, does anyone..." Qin Anyu paused before continuing, "chasing Yueyue?"

"Yes." Zhang Tingyu nodded,

Qin Anyu anxiously asked, "Who is it?"

"Cough." Zhang Tingyu cleared her throat, unexpectedly finding Qin Anyu to be so gossipy.

"Is it Meng Yanzhi?" Qin Anyu couldn't wait for the answer and guessed directly.

Zhang Tingyu looked at Qin Anyu in surprise and asked, "Sister An Yu, are you too incredible? Did you see what happened at school today?"

"No." Qin Anyu shook her head, then she asked, "Tingyu, how did Meng Yanzhi chase Yueyue today?"

Zhang Tingyu found it strange but considering Qin Anyu already knew about it and almost everyone in the school knew, even she, a student from another department knew, Qin Anyu could easily find out by asking anyone.

Therefore, Zhang Tingyu told Qin Anyu everything without hiding anything.

Qin Anyu's expression turned a bit odd, asking, "Meng Yanzhi just gave flowers, Yueyue refused and that was it?"

"Um." Zhang Tingyu nodded, adding, "But I've heard students saying that Meng Yanzhi plans to pursue Xiao Yue. Those who previously wanted to confess to Xiao Yue probably step back now."

"Oh, oh, oh, thank you, Tingyu." Qin Anyu returned home full of thoughts and as soon as she got home, she started calling Qin Anhao. After hearing it, Qin Anhao said, "Anyu, you don't need to intervene in this matter."

"Brother, this started because of me. How can I not intervene?" Qin Anyu pursed her lips, looking unhappy. She complained, "Does that Meng Yanzhi not know what sort of person he is? A toad wanting to eat swan meat."

"Anyu, even if his character is not good, he is still a Meng. Don't say this again," Qin Anhao seriously warned.

The Meng Family and Qin Family had a good relationship, after all, both families were in business and often interacted.

"I know." Qin Anyu replied impatiently, "Brother, just tell me, what should we do now?"

"Si Yu will handle it, you don't need to worry," Qin Anhao reminded, "Anyu, Chu Xuan is about to return to Jing City."

"..." Previously talkative, Qin Anyu became silent upon hearing the name 'Chu Xuan.'

"Anyu." Qin Anhao sighed, he carefully asked, "He has been waiting for you all this time."

Back then, Anyu was all about Chu Xuan, but...

"Brother, your surname is Qin, not Chu." Qin Anyu's words lacked enthusiasm as she made an excuse to take a shower and then hung up the phone.

Once the call ended, Qin Anyu's hand holding the phone didn't move.

He, he was actually returning to Jing City.

Qin Anyu felt complicated deep in her heart. She and Chu Xuan were childhood sweethearts, and she had always loved being with Chu Xuan, even determining that she would be his bride in the future.

When she was eighteen, she wanted to confess to Chu Xuan, but he clearly rejected her.

Unable to accept the rejection, Qin Anyu tried to drown her sorrows in alcohol. On her way home, she was targeted by others. By then, she was sober, and upon realizing those people intended to assault her, Qin Anyu nearly went mad.

Despaired and helpless, her clothes were being removed one after another...

She suddenly opened her eyes, gasping for breath, she chugged two glasses of cold water, took several deep breaths before finally calming down.

Since she stepped out of the shadows, she had long dared not think about those times.

Qin Anyu took a deep breath, pulled out the radio, and casually played something to listen to, feeling at least there was someone else in the room.

Qin Anyu's thoughts scattered once again. Back then, she had struggled to the point of despair. On the cold ground, her delicate skin was broken in many places, until someone rescued her.

Regrettably, she didn't know who rescued her. When the person threw a piece of clothing over her, she thought he was one of the people who hurt her. She bit hard into his left arm. Even now, she vaguely remembered the taste of blood and the man's angry curse.

"Are you a dog? I saved you, and you bit me!"

"I should have just not bothered saving you."

The man's voice sounded somewhat annoyed as he walked away, leaving Qin Anyu shrinking alone in a corner. She sneaked a peek at the man's silhouette, finding him exceptionally tall amid the darkness.

She staggered home, engulfed in fear.

When the Qin Family learned what happened, they immediately dealt with it. Those who intended to harm Qin Anyu were all adequately punished. Qin Anyu, as if she had locked her heart away, shut herself in her room day and night, silent.

Grandpa Qin and Qin Anhao were extremely worried and sought many doctors, but to no avail.

Qin Anhao knew it was because Chu Xuan had rejected Qin Anyu before, which led her to secretly drown her sorrows in alcohol, causing this incident. He fiercely beat up Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan endured the beating and then came immediately to propose, stating his willingness to marry Qin Anyu.

But, Qin Anyu no longer wanted to marry.

Chu Xuan vowed to take responsibility, and over the years, he truly hadn't been with any other woman.

Initially, Qin Anhao didn't blame Chu Xuan, but, unexpectedly, no one knew about this matter; both Chu Xuan and Anyu were at fault. If it wasn't for her disregard of her own safety in drinking outside, none of this would have happened.

Chu Xuan voluntarily shouldered this responsibility, and for many years, Qin Anhao had been watching, waiting for Chu Xuan. However, as for fate, no one can say for sure, and Qin Anhao could only observe from the sidelines.

Jing City, Yipin Inn.

Compared to the Yipin Inn in Wangjiang County, this one in Jing City was much more upscale, whether in terms of size or the interior decorations, it was top-notch. Even though it wasn't as developed as in the future, for this era, it was considered very characteristically decorated.

The place exuded an ancient charm and elegance, making it very comfortable to sit in the private rooms.

Tang Yue quietly asked, "Uncle Mo, do you also own shares here?"

"I own ten percent," Mo Siyu replied.

Tang Yue's beautiful almond eyes widened, and the joy at the bottom of her eyes could hardly be concealed.

"Xiao Yue, aren't you afraid that this place might run at a loss?" Mo Siyu asked in return, seeing how Tang Yue seemed so certain that Yipin Inn would definitely make money.

"Uncle Mo, not this place, nobody will lose money here. Besides, there are so many wealthy people nowadays," Tang Yue recalled a rare visit in the future, where the place was high-end and classy, and ordinary people couldn't even get in.

The customers of Yipin Inn were all dignitaries and nobles.

Such a place, it was a gold mine, there was no reason for it to lose money.
