Chapter 27: Soft bun, can be ravaged by anyone
There was a crisp "click" sound, and the sound of chopsticks falling on the porcelain bowl was heard. Ruoyu bent down in panic to pick up a chopstick that had slipped to the ground.
When Ruoyu heard Cheng Ling say this, her face turned pale.
So Zhou Xu and Qin Bilan had been together in college? It was only because Qin Bilan chose to go abroad that the two lost contact.
Did Zhou Xu marry me to forget his ex?
Shi Huai frowned, supported Ruoyu steadily, and gave her a new pair of chopsticks.
However, Ruoyu no longer had any appetite. She lowered her eyelashes, clutched the tablecloth under the table and stopped talking.
Cheng Ling didn't expect Ruoyu to react so strongly. He quickly explained, "But I asked Zhou Xu about it back then, and he said it was just secretly filmed and circulated on a forum. Zhou Xu is married to you now, so it's impossible for him to be with Qin Bilan."
Ruoyu's mind is now full of the photos and text messages Qin Bilan sent her.
Zhou Xu needs someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him and share the same frequency, not someone like you who has no value.
Shi Huai felt that Cheng Ling was getting more and more confused, so she asked directly, "Did Big Brother and Qin Bilan date in college?"
Cheng Ling: "When we were in college, he said he had never dated..."
But when Qin Bilan was in college, she frequently appeared next to Zhou Xu.
Cheng Ling didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.
Ruoyu let out a long breath and forced a smile: "I'm fine, Shihuai."
Shi Huai held Ruoyu's hand tightly, looked at Cheng Ling, and spoke clearly, "Assistant Cheng, you don't have to hide anything for Zhou Xu. If you don't want to ruin your brother and sister-in-law's marriage, you shouldn't hide anything for him."
Cheng Ling: "Oh, Madam Zhou Er, I really didn't mean to hide anything for Zhou Xu."
"Zhou Xu did tell me in college that she wasn't dating Qin Bilan, but Qin Bilan pestered Zhou Xu every day. Now that she's back in China, the first thing she does is apply for the position of Zhou Xu's secretary. I think her motives are not pure, so I want you to keep a close eye on her."
Cheng Ling couldn't bear the blame for ruining Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou's marriage, so he said everything he wanted to say in one breath.
Things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, but Ruoyu still felt uncomfortable.
Zhou Xu was a stubborn person, and there were things he wouldn't say no matter who forced him to. Cheng Ling also mentioned that Qin Bilan and Zhou Xu were inseparable throughout college.
The messages sent by Qin Bilan were enough to prove that she and Zhou Xu had an unknown ambiguous past during their college years.
Ruoyu nodded slightly, pretending to be calm and indifferent, "Okay, I understand. I will take care of it myself."
Shi Huai saw that Ruoyu was swallowing her grievances again, and felt sorry for her sister-in-law.
Just as she was about to speak, the door of the box was suddenly opened.
Three people walked in from the door, they were Zhou Xu, Qin Bilan, and a handsome man.
The man's eyes couldn't help but fall on Shi Huai from the moment he entered the room. But Shi Huai didn't pay attention to him, instead his heart was focused on Ruo Yu.
Zhou Xu and Qin Bilan appeared at the same time. Ruoyu raised her eyes slightly, then quickly lowered them without even saying hello to Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu sat next to Ruoyu calmly and asked her if she was full.
Ruoyu nodded slightly, still not even looking at him.
Another man sat next to Shi Huai, while Qin Bilan sat opposite Zhou Xu.
She smiled and looked at Cheng Ling: "Cheng Ling, you are so disloyal. I have been working at Haoting Group for almost two months, and you haven't even treated me to a meal."
Cheng Ling tutted his words: "Can you compare with my sister-in-law?"
Qin Bilan was choked by Cheng Ling's words and secretly clenched her fists.
Why can't she compare with Ruoyu?
How is she not better than Ruoyu?
Qin Bilan secretly glared at Ruoyu viciously, and this scene happened to be caught by Shi Huai.
Shi Huai placed a dish in Ruoyu's bowl and chuckled softly, "Secretary Qin, order whatever you want. Don't just covet the dishes that others at the table have already ordered."
The smell of gunpowder spread throughout the box, and Qin Bilan felt the irony in Shi Huai's words.
It was hinted that she wanted to steal someone else's love and become a mistress!
Just then, Zhou Xu's phone rang at an inopportune time.
He answered the phone and then looked at Shi Huai, "Shi Huai, come out with me."
It feels like being called out by the dean...
But he still listened to Zhou Xu, stood up and left the box with him.
Cheng Ling saw Zhou Xu and Shi Huai leave and followed them. He had to tell Zhou Xu what happened today and get this young man to transfer Qin Bilan away immediately.
Seeing that Zhou Xu and Cheng Lingshihuai had left, Yu Liangwen felt that it was a bit inappropriate for him to be here, and whispered: "I'll go out and take a look."
Then he left the box.
Now only Qin Bilan and Ruoyu are left in the box.
As soon as Zhou Xu and the others left, Qin Bilan sneered, "What Cheng Ling said just now was really interesting. How can I not compare to you?"
Ruoyu frowned slightly. She was not good at arguing with others and was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, tears would come out before her voice.
Seeing Ruoyu didn't say anything, Qin Bilan knew that she was a softie who could be bullied by anyone.
"Zhou Xu and I have known each other since college, and we've always had a good relationship." Qin Bilan's beautiful eyes fell on Ruoyu with great aggression, and she spoke slowly, "If I hadn't gone abroad for further studies, the position of Zhou's wife would not have been yours."
Ruoyu pursed her lips and looked up at Qin Bilan: "So the purpose of sending these photos and text messages to me is to force me to divorce Zhou Xu, right?"
Qin Bilan ruffled her wavy hair. "Ruoyu, you have a mediocre education. You haven't worked a single day since you married Zhou Xu. Besides giving birth to a daughter for Zhou Xu, what else have you done for him over the years?"
Ruoyu took a deep breath. She really hadn't done anything for Zhou Xu. But none of that was a reason for Qin Bilan to interfere in her and Zhou Xu's marriage.
"My marriage with Zhou Xu is none of your business."
Qin Bilan raised the corners of her lips and sighed slightly, "You know, ever since I returned to Zhou Xu, he's complained to me more than once about this marriage. You can't share anything with him, you're boring and uninteresting, and you're just a decorative vase next to him. Unlike me, I can help him share work responsibilities and we even have common topics to talk about."
"Zhou Xu and I have known each other for ten years. I know Zhou Xu better than you do and am more qualified to be by his side."
Qin Bilan's words were like sharp daggers piercing Ruoyu's heart again and again. Ruoyu was powerless to refute and could only lower her head in inferiority.
She was indeed a boring and uninteresting person, and she had nothing in common with Zhou Xu.
"Do you know what everyone around you thinks of Zhou Xu? He's a beautiful woman, but the only flaw is that he married a useless wife."
Sharp and harsh words fell on Ruoyu's ears, and tears welled up in her eyes. She forced herself not to cry: "Zhou, Zhou Xu didn't say this to me in person, so I won't believe you..."
She wanted to do her best to refute Qin Bilan's words. She had to be brave. Just like Shi Huai said, it doesn't matter who looks down on you, but you must never look down on yourself.
"Haven't you seen those photos?" Qin Bilan provoked Ruoyu's pain. She had posted a lot of photos these days, all of which were photos of her and Zhou Xu dating alone.
"Ruoyu, do you think Zhou Xu has feelings for you in this marriage?" Qin Bilan looked at Ruoyu with contempt as if she were looking at a poor creature.
"You know exactly why you and Zhou Xu got married. Zhou Xu agreed to his family's request so he could forget me. You are the one who got involved!"
She and Zhou Xu did get married for a hidden reason, and she got married quickly without asking about the details.
If she knew that Zhou Xu had a white moonlight in his heart that he could never forget, she would definitely not agree to this marriage... But now the matter is done, and Zhou Xu has already had a place in her heart.
"Ruoyu, if I were you, I would have divorced Zhou Xu long ago."
"But you are not me!" Ruoyu could no longer hold back. As soon as she said this, her tears began to fall like a broken pearl necklace. Now she desperately hoped that someone would come to help her and take her away from here.
Just as Ruoyu slowly raised her head and was about to say something, the door of the box suddenly opened.
Then with a "slap" sound, a crisp slap landed on Qin Bilan's cheek.
