Chapter 84

But everyone can guess what happens next.

Li Qian said in panic: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

Man Shi's eyes were filled with hatred. "Whether it was or not, you know it clearly, don't you? If you hadn't used my parents to trick me back then, how could I have been so easily fooled!"

Yunzhe's eyes were filled with pain: "Impossible, Qianqian is not that kind of person, how could such a thing be possible..."

Li Qian hugged Yunzhe, "Zhe, don't believe her, she's lying."

Nan Tao felt sorry for Man Shi's experience and consoled her, "Everyone has encountered scumbags in their lives. Just think of it as being bitten by a dog."

Man Shi's vicissitudes of life eyes were stained with moisture, and she whispered, "Thank you."

Nan Tao patted Man Shi, then looked at the two people in front of her, hugging each other intimately, and said with disgust, "You two are so shameless."

Li Qian was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Who are you calling shameless?"

Nan Tao: "Isn't it? The other person already has a fiancée and is married, yet you still call the groom away on his wedding day. Do you really like being someone's mistress?"

Li Qian's face turned pale. "There's no first come, first served in relationships. Zhe likes me. There's true love between us."

Nan Tao raised her eyebrows. "That's a classic statement. You're meddling in other people's relationships, destroying their marriages, and yet you're still claiming true love. Are you really that shameless?"

Jiang Hui and Wen Manqing couldn't help laughing out loud, and Zhou Mei's eyes also showed a smile.

Nan Tao: "I'm telling you, you're so young, yet you're so despicable. You even used someone's parents to trick them into going to a hotel, harming their innocence. Why didn't the police arrest you?"

Li Qian's body was shaky and she was shaking all over.

Yunzhe said distressedly: "Qianqian, what's wrong with you?"

Nan Tao rolled her eyes. "What else could it be? I'm just scared and feeling guilty."

Yunzhe said angrily: "You are going too far!"

Nan Tao scratched her ears. "I say, how come you, a grown man, have no sense of judgment at all? You're being played around by the woman in your arms. Are you blind? The so-called cuckoldry was all orchestrated by the white lotus in your arms. Xiao Shi is the victim, but instead of avenging the victim, you feel sorry for the perpetrator. No wonder you two are a couple, you're truly a perfect match."

Yunzhe's face turned pale: "Impossible, Qianqian is not that kind of person."

Nan Tao chuckled, "You keep saying this over and over again. Do you truly believe she's not that kind of person, or are you afraid to face the cruel truth? You abandoned your bride on your wedding day for a vicious woman?"

Yunzhe's eyes were red, "Shut up!"

Nan Tao sighed, "Did I hit you where it hurts? Can't you accept this fact? Why, you only get angry at others, but you have the woman in your arms protecting you, so why don't you take it out on her? After all, she lied to you."

Yunzhe subconsciously looked at Li Qian in his arms. Somehow, his hand seemed to be burned and suddenly loosened.

Li Qian was originally leaning on Yunzhe's arms for comfort, but Yunzhe suddenly let go of her hand, and she lost her balance and fell flat on her face, kneeling in front of Manshi.

Nan Tao burst out laughing and said, "Oh, he knows he's wrong and kowtows to Xiao Shi to beg for forgiveness."

The corners of Man Shi's straight lips curled up into an upward arc. Looking at Li Qian who was kneeling in front of her, she said lightly, "You don't have to be so polite to me."

Nan Tao laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward, "Hahaha."

Jiang Hui, Wen Manqing and Zhou Mei couldn't help laughing.

Li Qian was trembling with humiliation, her face pale and ashen, as if she was about to die in the next second.

"Zhe~" Li Qian cried.

Yunzhe reached out to pull Li Qian, but when he met Manshi's cold eyes, he quickly withdrew his hand, "Qianqian, get up by yourself."

Li Qian's eyes turned red, and she pinched her palm unwillingly, saying painfully, "Do you believe what she said? You don't believe me?"

Yunzhe was confused now, "I didn't, I just..."

Li Qian got up from the ground and acted as strong as a little white flower. Every time she showed this expression in the past, Yun Zhe would unconditionally side with her, and this time was no exception.

"Zhe~We..."

Yunzhe took two steps back to avoid Li Qian's outstretched hand.

Li Qian couldn't believe it. The tears in her eyes finally flowed out. She seemed to be on the verge of collapse after a great blow. "Do you really believe what she said? I have been by your side for so many years. How could you do this to me!"

Yunzhe said painfully: "Qianqian, give me some time."

Li Qian was very flustered and stepped forward to hug Yunzhe's waist. "I'll give you time, but don't make me wait too long."

Yunzhe sighed, as if compromising, raised his hand to stroke Li Qian's head, and said soothingly: "I'm sorry for putting you in trouble."

Li Qian breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head, "I love you and I won't feel wronged. No matter what your final decision is, I will always be by your side."

Nan Tao let out an exaggerated "wow," "If you didn't know, you'd think it was a farewell between life and death." Then she tilted her head to express her confusion: "Since you'll always be by his side, why did you leave him behind to study abroad?"

Yunzhe's hand that was touching Li Qian's head froze and stopped in mid-air. He looked down at Li Qian, as if waiting.

Li Qian was about to go crazy with Nan Tao. She had almost been appeased, but she brought up the issue that they had been deliberately avoiding: was she and this B&B incompatible?

Li Qian made a weak expression of sadness and exhaustion, "Zhe, let's go back to the room first."

Yunzhe pursed his lips and remained motionless.

Wen Manqing: "Why don't you say it in front of everyone? Do you think we will see through your lies?"

Li Qian's body was shaking, her fingers trembling with anger. She pointed at Wen Manqing's gentle and beautiful face, jealous and angry, "You, you..."

Wen Manqing said gently, "I'm listening."

Li Qian: “…”

Yunzhe closed his eyes and said, "Talk about it here. I want to know too."

Li Qian looked at Yunzhe and felt a huge panic. She was afraid that a bad answer would burst the bubble between them. She kept looking around and saying something else vaguely.

Yunzhe said disappointedly, "Is that all?"

Li Qian stepped forward and grabbed Yunzhe's hand.

Yunzhe brushed it away, took two steps back, and looked at Li Qian with red eyes. His expression was complicated, showing love, fatigue, and a hint of imperceptible displeasure.

Li Qian was very sensitive to emotions and cried fearfully, "You know, my family forced me to go abroad. I had no choice. I love you, Zhe, but they are my parents. What can I do? Didn't Manshi abandon you between her parents and you? I was just..."

Yunzhe's face suddenly changed and he subconsciously looked at Manshi.

Manshi's eyes were cold and sarcastic.

Yunzhe couldn't hear Li Qian's explanation. His heart and eyes were filled with guilt towards Manshi. He opened his mouth and said, "Xiaoshi, I... I didn't mean to force your parents to commit suicide by jumping off the building. I was just very angry about your betrayal. I didn't expect that suppressing the company would be too much for them to bear. I..."

Hearing about her parents, Manshi's emotionless eyes were filled with hatred. She raised her hand and slapped Yunzhe hard in the face, "You owe me this!"

Yunzhe tilted his head to the side and said bitterly, "I'm sorry."

When Li Qian saw Yunzhe being beaten, she screamed and hurried forward to touch Yunzhe's left cheek which was hit because of heartache.

Yunzhe avoided Li Qian's actions.

Nan Tao was originally just watching the show, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but get angry, "What? You also killed Xiao Shi's parents? You scumbag!"

Wen Manqing's usual gentle expression disappeared, and he said with disgust: "I didn't expect there would be such a person."

Jiang Hui frowned: "It was you who cheated on Bai Yueguang first, and Xiaoshi was the victim. How dare you suppress Xiaoshi's parents' company?"

Zhou Mei: "Scum!"

Yunzhe said painfully: "I don't know..."

Man Shi sneered, "Don't know what? Don't you know that they have poor psychological endurance? You pushed the Man family company into bankruptcy, and my parents sold their house and car, but couldn't pay off the bank loan. In the end, they couldn't bear it anymore and jumped off the building to commit suicide. You want to say you don't know? You want to say that this has nothing to do with you?"

Yunzhe closed his eyes in pain and said, "Stop talking."

Man Shi: "Oh, you know, that night Li Qian tricked me into a hotel room, and I saw you kissing her from the elevator. I asked you for help, but you turned a blind eye. I watched the elevator door close, and watched my only chance of being rescued disappear before my eyes!"

Yunzhe realized that something precious was about to be lost, and said in panic: "I, I don't know."

Manshi closed her eyes and said, "Your ignorance ruined everything I have."

Yunzhe was in extreme pain, growled, clenched his fists and smashed them hard against the wall.

Everyone was shocked.

Yunzhe's eyes were red as he cautiously walked up to Manshi and said humbly, "I was wrong. I can compensate you. Are you willing..."

Manshi interrupted Yunzhe, took two steps back, and said in a cold voice with disgust, "I don't want to. Stay away from me. I feel sick when I see you."

Yunzhe was hurt by Manshi's words, but when he saw the five finger marks on Manshi's face, he felt heartbroken and regretful. "Does it hurt? I..."

Manshi took two steps back.

When he was beaten by Li Qian before, he chose to swallow his anger because he didn't want to affect the business of the B&B owner. He was able to survive in Yunli City thanks to the care of the B&B owner, but later the situation got out of control, and he didn't want to disappoint Nan Tao and the others.

"Get out!" Man Shi's eyes were cold.

Yunzhe was devastated, like a defeated dog that had lost its home, pitiful and hateful.

Li Qian cried, "Zhe~I didn't do that. Manshi is lying. I didn't know anything about it."

Manshi sneered, "Put away your innocent expression. You know how vicious you are."

Li Qian was filled with grievances, "Why are you wrongly accusing me? Do you have any evidence?"

Man Shi was silent. If she had evidence, she would not allow others to throw dirty water on her. She also wanted to know who the man was that night who took away her virginity.

Later, when I went to the hotel to check the surveillance, the hotel manager said that the surveillance was damaged and there was no surveillance record.

It is obvious who is behind all this.

There will be no one else except Li Qian.

Li Qian added, "If you don't have any evidence, stop slandering me. I can sue you for spreading rumors."

Nan Tao: "Who knows if someone destroyed the evidence out of guilt? After all, doing this kind of thing will land you in jail."

Li Qian choked and couldn't say anything to refute. She glared at Nan Tao angrily.

Manshi gave Nantao a thankful smile, then her expression softened as she thought of something. She looked at Yunzhe and Manshi expressionlessly and warned them, "From now on, we'll keep our distance. Don't bother me, or I'll drag you down to hell, even if it means I'll destroy you."

After saying that, Manshi took the mop and bucket, turned around and left. Her clean and neat back seemed to be saying goodbye to the past, while also ruthlessly cutting off from the past.

Yunzhe looked at Manshi's decisive and resolute back, his heart tightened, and he raised his foot to chase after her, but was hugged by Li Qian around the waist.

Li Qian cried, "Zhe, let's change to another B&B."

Yunzhe stared at Li Qian and was silent for a while. "Let's go to the room first."

After saying that, he didn't even look at Li Qian and pushed the suitcase upstairs.

Li Qian followed Yunzhe crying.

Nan Tao, Jiang Hui and others sighed for a while, then returned to their respective positions and continued working.

Nan Tao was busy at the cashier counter, constantly entertaining customers.

Busy times always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is time for dinner in the evening.

Nan Tao stretched, tidied the table, pushed the chair away and stood up. She was about to call the children who were playing outside to come back for dinner when she looked up and saw a white-haired old lady outside the door. She pushed the door open and walked in with a little boy about three or four years old in her hand.

Nan Tao looked at the little boy's appearance with a look of shock on her face, unable to speak for a long time.

No way, this little boy actually looks 30% like Yunzhe. Anyone who sees him would say they are his biological son.
