Chapter 117 – Su Xin’s Decision

My Rebirth Legend Without Ads

“Ladies and gentlemen, this afternoon, the President of the Republic of Huaxia, Hua Guocheng, met with the top three winners of the National High School Computer Competition in the Zhongnanhai conference hall to offer his congratulations and deliver a speech. President Hua stated that the world today is advancing continuously through scientific and technological progress. It is an era that belongs to high-tech talents. Our youth must begin cultivating scientific knowledge early, study diligently, and establish a strong scientific outlook to strive for the future of Huaxia. President Hua also emphasized that the future belongs to the youth, and the future of Huaxia will be supported by the younger generation. The country will continue to invest heavily in fields such as computer science, working together to realize the rejuvenation of the Huaxia nation...”

“Look! That’s Xiao Qiang, and there’s Chu Qitong and Su Xin too! Look at them shaking hands and taking pictures with the President! I’m so envious,” Zhang Jing said, her face filled with admiration as she stared at the TV screen showing me and Chu Qitong smiling. Chu Qitong, dressed in a camisole nightgown, lay sideways on the sand like a sleeping beauty, captivating and enchanting. Next to her, Su Xin wore a faint smile, her gaze fixed on the three people on the screen. Yes, there were three people — and I would never forget Song Jie, standing in the middle.

“Ah, Xiao Qiang finally met him. I’m really afraid Song Jie will do something bad to Xiao Qiang… Sister Zhang Jing, do you think Xiao Qiang will be safe in the capital? I’m so worried that if he beats Song Jie, Song Jie will get angry…” Su Xin’s brows furrowed deeply. She knew exactly what kind of person Song Jie was. Ever since she was tricked by her father to go to the capital during National Day, she had met this man — outwardly stunning, but inwardly petty and narrow-minded. Su Xin hadn’t known that Song Jie possessed such talent in computer science and had accidentally ended up competing on the same stage as me, only to be defeated. When she called me, she warned me to be careful around Song Jie.

“Well, worrying won’t help. Xiao Qiang and the others will be back tomorrow. Once they return to C City, Song Jie won’t be able to scheme against Xiao Qiang anymore, right?” Zhang Jing gently comforted the anxious young beauty beside her, her voice excited. “Xiao Qiang will be back tomorrow. Our plan can finally be set into motion. I can’t wait to see the day when Xia Wang Construction goes bankrupt. I want Xia Fugui to taste the retribution he deserves!”

“Yes, it will definitely happen. I’m looking forward to that day too, Sister Zhang Jing…” Su Xin’s eyes suddenly gleamed softly as she smiled. “Honestly, tell me honestly — do you like Xiao Qiang?”

“S-Su Xin? Why would you ask such a silly question? There’s no way… How could I possibly like Xiao Qiang, who’s younger than me? No way, Su Xin, don’t misunderstand, I really just…” Zhang Jing became flustered the moment she heard the question, stumbling over her words, unable to organize her thoughts.

“Don’t bother explaining. Just by looking at your expression, it’s obvious. Actually, it’s not abnormal for you to like Xiao Qiang. He’s so impressive, your boss, and he saved you. If I were you, I’d like him too. Women always like outstanding men, don’t they?” Su Xin smiled wryly, a hint of a sigh escaping her lips. “Actually, I know Qitong likes Xiao Qiang too. That girl thinks I haven’t noticed, but her recent absent-minded behavior has already betrayed her feelings, even if she pretends otherwise.”

Zhang Jing blushed deeply at Su Xin’s words, shyly twisting her purple nightgown. “Su Xin, please stop. I admit I do like Xiao Qiang… But you mustn’t misunderstand—I’m not going to compete with you for him. Honestly, I don’t have the qualifications or ability to win him over. I know in my heart the one he likes has always been you, Chu Qitong. No woman can take him away from you. So, please don’t worry about me, I…”

“Pfft!” Seeing Zhang Jing’s anxious yet helpless expression, Su Xin suddenly burst out laughing. She mischievously touched Zhang Jing’s smooth and fragrant chin and chuckled, “I’m just kidding, sister. Why are you so nervous?”

“Oh, you dare to make fun of me? I’ll get you back for this!” Zhang Jing finally realized and shyly teased Su Xin, tickling her so much that Su Xin laughed uncontrollably, pleading for mercy.

“Sister… Haha, okay, I’m sorry! Please forgive me…” Under Su Xin’s repeated pleas, Zhang Jing finally withdrew her hands with a smile, giving Su Xin a moment to catch her breath. The two exchanged glances and giggled again. Both were stunning beauties — one pure and innocent, the other mature and elegant. It was truly a pity that such a blooming scene went unappreciated in the room.

After a moment of steady breathing, Su Xin’s expression darkened slightly. “Honestly, sister, I know you love Xiao Qiang deeply, but because of me, you can’t have his love. Actually, I don’t mind if Xiao Qiang loves you. He’s a good man, a very charming and successful man. I know many girls will like him in the future. I’m not jealous—if more girls like him, it only proves how outstanding he is. So, Sister Zhang, if you like Xiao Qiang, love him wholeheartedly. I won’t mind.”

“Su Xin? Are you out of your mind?” Zhang Jing was stunned by Su Xin’s words, staring at her for a long while before touching her forehead to check for a fever, then shocked. “How could you be willing to share your boyfriend with everyone? What are you thinking?”

“Heh, I’m pretty smart,” Su Xin rolled her eyes and said seriously, “Xiao Qiang is my man and the one I love deeply. But I also know he is loved by many women. He’s outstanding and charismatic. I shouldn’t keep him tied down all the time. This time, I realized he needs many connections and resources to deal with Song Jie. I’m doing this for myself too. The women around Xiao Qiang, like Chu Qitong and some in the future, will be those who can help him in his career or other aspects. I want to share Xiao Qiang with everyone, not monopolize him alone and let him face enemies by himself.”

“Su Xin, are you really willing to let me… have the right to love Xiao Qiang?” Zhang Jing’s expression was full of emotion and excitement. She knew exactly what Su Xin’s words meant. She had always liked Xiao Qiang but refrained from pursuing him because of Su Xin. Now, hearing this felt like a heavy stone lifted from her heart, suddenly enlightened! No words could express her complex feelings of joy, excitement, and hope. She grasped Su Xin’s small hand and trembled as she said, “Su Xin… you are such a good woman. I don’t even know how to thank you… Thank you, truly thank you!”

“No need for thanks. Don’t forget, we’re good sisters. You and Qitong will both become Xiao Qiang’s women. I’m just going with the flow. I also want you both to help Xiao Qiang well, so he can go farther and become stronger in life. My man will always be the strongest. With your help, he’ll thrive,” Su Xin gently wiped the tears from Zhang Jing’s eyes and smiled. “Alright, sister, it’s late. Let’s go back to our rooms and sleep.”

“Yeah, Su Xin, I will always stay by Xiao Qiang’s side, silently guarding him forever!” Zhang Jing nodded firmly, her eyes shining with hope for the future.
