Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Can Eat and Sleep, Finished Two Big Plates of Food

Sang Qingran lay in the silent private room, not knowing how much time had passed, feeling very uncomfortable. He didn’t dare to dial the two numbers he most wanted to call.

To them, he was an intrusion.

Suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open, and his senior brother talked incessantly, “Qingran, what you said on the phone was so baffling, and then you hung up. I thought something had happened to you.”

However, when he saw Sang Qingran lying so dejectedly on the sofa, he was stunned for a moment.

In his memory, Qingran was always neatly dressed and appeared cold and detached, with no visible emotions, living a highly disciplined life.

Except for seriously ill patients, nothing could disrupt Qingran’s routine.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“It’s nothing.” Sang Qingran sat up straight, poured more alcohol into his glass, but this time he didn’t gulp it down; instead, he sipped slowly.

His senior brother couldn’t stand it anymore and snatched the glass from the table.

“Stop drinking, you can’t even handle liquor. Why force yourself?”

“You’re right, I really can’t, it’s not suitable. Why force myself.” Sang Qingran tilted his head back and laughed, tears sliding down his cheeks.

He should return to his former state, where nothing in his disciplined mind could ever return those he’d missed, and where making amends was futile.

All he could do was keep strengthening himself, so that when they needed help, he could support them.

His senior brother was troubled. “What’s really going on with you! Don’t be like this, tell me what’s wrong, and let your senior brother help you.”

“I don’t need any help, go home.” But Sang Qingran did not intend to answer the question. He stood up and staggered toward the door.

He really wasn’t suited to drinking; just a little had made his steps unsteady.

“Didn’t you already come to terms with your sister’s issue, knowing you can’t return to the past, deciding to silently watch over her and be content with her happiness?”

His senior brother hurriedly followed, truly puzzled, besides that issue, what else could affect Qingran’s emotions so deeply?

“I have nothing, no parents, no sister, no loved one.”

Sang Qingran felt that his whole life was filled with wrong choices, wrong actions.

“Try to see it differently, isn’t your mother doing much better now than before?”

“But I don’t need her now. She was absent when I needed a mother’s love the most. She made me torment myself between guilt and passion during the years I studied medicine.”

Sang Qingran felt he would never be able to let go of this, having grown up in an unloving family, receiving no support in his beloved field.

“It’s okay now, you’re doing well, you’re impressive, Doctor Sang, I can’t even compare with you now.” His senior brother wrapped an arm around his shoulder to comfort him.

“If… I hadn’t studied medicine, if I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t have found Qiaoqiao, nor would I have heard those misleading words. Would I not have had that falling out with Qiaoqiao?”

“And before, mother didn’t support my studying medicine. If I hadn’t gone, would she have been happy, treated me well, could it… have all been different?”

Right now, Sang Qingran’s mind was in turmoil. He hadn’t drunk much, yet the whole person felt dizzy.

“Qingran, life doesn’t have so many ifs. How do you know that the path you didn’t choose was the better one? At that age, even if you had listened to them, you might not have made choices that you wouldn’t regret later, do you understand?”

His senior brother supported Sang Qingran’s shoulder, never knowing before that Qingran could be so irrational.

Perhaps because his psychological defenses had collapsed, that loved person became the last straw that overwhelmed Qingran.

“You’re right.” Sang Qingran leaned on his senior brother’s shoulder and slowly closed his eyes.

He was too tired.

He just needed to sleep, and when he woke up the next day, the sun would rise as usual, and everything would get better.

Rose Entertainment

Chen Ling’s first youth idol web drama had just been scheduled when it was verbally attacked by haters even before its release.

“Someone like her as the lead actress? Are they crazy?”

“To be honest, Chen Ling can only dance and sing, let her act? Where does she get the acting skills? She must have paid for her role.”

“I was looking forward to this drama, but since Chen Ling is the lead actress, forget it, dropped before it even aired.”

“To the sister above, don’t give up just yet, at least wait until it’s broadcast and then leave a bad review before you go.”

Meng Jiahe saw this trend and wondered whether to find some marketing accounts to help clear the air, otherwise when you open the comment section, there wasn’t a single positive comment.

She thought about it and eventually decided against it. If people discovered they were buying followers or paying someone to clear Chen Ling’s name, the backlash would likely be even worse.

Recently, she dared not even open her company’s official account, as it was flooded with criticisms, and private messages were too numerous to count.

“How is Chen Ling doing?” Sang Qiao put down her phone, her fingertips lightly tapping on the desk.

“Pretty good, acting as if nothing happened, and she smiles a lot too,” Meng Jiahe couldn’t help but express her admiration at this point! The internet was full of insults, every curse word included, yet the person concerned did not even look at them, and did not care.

Such a strong mentality was indeed rare.

Hearing this, Sang Qiao hesitated a bit, “Could it be an act for you?”

“That shouldn’t be the case, her roommate told me that she was still binge-watching TV series last night, beaming with joy, and she even polished off two large plates of food.”

Meng Jiahe has been paying more attention to Chen Ling lately than even Shangguan Yuan had.

She was afraid that the unbearable curses online would depress Chen Ling, but she truly hadn’t anticipated that Chen Ling simply didn’t care, not even a bit curious.

If it were someone else, they would have definitely been tempted to check the comments, but Chen Ling really restrained herself firmly, no need, she simply didn’t log into her account.

“As long as she can eat, that’s fine,” Sang Qiao laughed but was surprised by the outcome.

“Qiaoqiao, I might need to take a leave this afternoon. If Shangguan Yuan looks for me, just tell him I went to discuss a partnership.”

“Alright, where are you going this afternoon?” Sang Qiao nodded lightly, her eyes fixed on Ah He.

Meng Jiahe knew she couldn’t deceive Sang Qiao, and not wanting to worry her, she honestly confessed, “I’m going back to the Meng family, I always have to give Elder Mrs. Meng an explanation.”

“Do you want me to come with you?” Sang Qiao raised her eyelids, her clear eyes thoughtful.

“No need, this time I want to clear things up, handle them cleanly, and don’t want them to disturb Shangguan Yuan. If you’re there, the Meng Family will be more restrained, making it hard to talk. Qiaoqiao, don’t worry, I definitely won’t let myself be bullied.”

Meng Jiahe forced a smile, feeling immensely relieved the moment she made the decision.

She wanted to be selfish for once, not always suppressing herself because of considering her mother’s feelings under Elder Mrs. Meng’s pressure.

“If there’s anything, call me anytime.” Sang Qiao bent the corners of her lips, her smile carrying a supportive tone.
