Looking at the man in front of him, Shen Qingli looked unhappy.
She didn't want to say anything more to him.
"Zhou Yanchen, we are all adults, can you please stop being so boring!" Shen Qingli glared at the man in front of her, her heart full of annoyance and helplessness.
After a long and arduous effort, she finally got her life back on track. However, this man appeared in front of her from time to time, directly disrupting her peaceful life.
Zhou Yanchen noticed her emotional fluctuations and quickly explained: "I just bought some gifts for the children. This is what I promised them before.
You know, as adults, we have to set a good example of honesty and trustworthiness for children. We can't lie to them."
Hearing this, Shen Qingli widened his eyes and asked angrily: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier that you bought it for Dabao and Xiaobao?"
Zhou Yanchen smiled bitterly, "If I told you in advance, would you still be willing to take me there?" The answer was obviously no.
"No!" Shen Qingli answered without hesitation.
Faced with such a firm attitude, Zhou Yanchen shrugged helplessly, "So I can only say that."
At this moment, Shen Qingli caught a glimpse of several people walking towards this side.
She didn't want to continue to tangle with Zhou Yanchen, so she said decisively: "I will definitely not accept these gifts, you quickly take all the toys back."
After saying this, she walked straight forward without looking back.
Looking at her gradually receding back, Zhou Yanchen shouted: "Shen Qingli, do you want me to take you home?
Also, about the kids... don't you want to tell me something?"
"After all, I am the father of the child..."
Hearing this, Shen Qingli was struck by lightning, and her steps suddenly stopped. She turned around without hesitation and interrupted what he was about to say, "Zhou Yanchen, that's enough!"
Then, with her hair flying in the wind, she rushed towards him like a gust of wind and rain, her beautiful eyes burning with rage, and she asked loudly:
"What do you want to say? Are you still trying to say that you are the father of this child?"
"Zhou Yanchen, I'm telling you clearly, these children have nothing to do with you!"
Her voice became louder and louder, as if she wanted to vent all the anger and grievances in her heart.
"You'd better put away your unrealistic fantasies!" Shen Qingli became more and more angry as he spoke, his chest heaving violently.
"Also, give me all this crap you bought. I don't want it!"
She pointed to a pile of items on the ground and said mercilessly.
Zhou Yanchen had no idea that what he had just said would seriously offend her bottom line. He was at a loss for a moment and hurriedly explained:
"Shen Qingli, please stop getting so excited. I really don't have any bad intentions."
But at this moment Shen Qingli was already shrouded in fear. She was afraid that one day Zhou Yanchen would suddenly change his mind and forcibly take the child away from her.
She pressed him again in a fierce voice: "Do you want to take those things away? If not, I will throw them all in the trash can."
Hearing this, Zhou Yanchen's eyes sank slightly, he frowned, and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Shen Qingli, is it really necessary to do this?
I just bought some small toys for the kids, and other than that, I didn’t do anything else.”
Shen Qingli's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he shouted loudly: "It is necessary."
However, facing her excited reaction, Zhou Yanchen stood there motionless as if he was under a spell.
Shen Qingli turned around abruptly and walked hurriedly forward.
She walked to the bag on the ground, bent down without hesitation, picked it up, and ran straight to the trash can without looking back.
At this time, Zhou Yanchen's face was still as gloomy as water, and his solemn expression made him look as stiff as a sculpture.
He stood there quietly, his mind replaying what he had just said, wondering what he had said to make her so angry.
After Shen Qingli came to the trash can, he mercilessly threw the bag in his hand into the can.
With a crackling sound, all the items inside were scattered, but even so, the anger in her heart seemed not to have subsided.
On the other side, Zhou Yanchen saw Shen Qingli standing next to the trash can without moving, so he finally took a deep breath, slowly spread his legs, and approached her step by step with heavy steps as if he was filled with lead.
After coming behind Shen Qingli, Zhou Yanchen stopped and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault this time. I promise I will never assert myself again."
"It's late. You should go back."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Qingli turned around without hesitation and walked straight forward without even looking at Zhou Yanchen again.
The moment she turned around, two lines of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes uncontrollably, quickly blurring her vision.
As she walked quickly, she prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Zhou Yanchen would completely disappear from her life and never appear again.
Zhou Yanchen was still standing there in a daze, his eyes fixed on Shen Qingli's receding figure until the figure completely merged into the night and no trace of her could be seen anymore.
He pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
The faint light from the cigarette butts illuminated his sad face, and at this moment, his brows were filled with a myriad of sorrow and helplessness.
What should he do to ease their relationship?
Zhou Yanchen had already realized that he had hurt her too deeply, too deeply.
He hated himself too.
…
For Su Xinyao, these few days are like a nightmare.
The calls from debt collectors flooded in like a tide, almost drowning her.
Every phone call was a heavy blow to her spirit, almost making her collapse.
All the wealth she had worked hard to accumulate over the years had now been lost. The balance in her bank account had gone to zero, and she was not even able to take out a penny.
What's worse is that the Su family's company is now teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.
The capital chain was broken, orders dropped sharply, employees were panicked... Various problems followed one after another, like an invisible net that tightly bound the entire Su family, making it difficult to escape.
The family only had a little money, which seemed insignificant in the face of such huge pressure.
And what about Su Mo? This once stable man has been drinking to drown his sorrows lately, and he always goes home drunk.
However, he did not bring any comfort back home. Instead, he beat up his family members under the influence of alcohol.
All of a sudden, the originally warm and harmonious family became a mess, filled with endless quarrels and violence.
Faced with such a desperate situation, Su Xinyao felt that she had no way out.
Faced with various pressures, she finally made up her mind to make the hidden secret public.
She called a well-known reporter in Beijing and claimed that she had shocking information about Zhou Yanchen.
However, she put forward a condition that he must summon all reporters in Beijing to attend a grand press conference.
Only then will she reveal the secret.
