Chapter 28: Do you want to run with the ball with me?
The pain of the slap was transmitted to Qin Bilan's cheek. She turned around and saw Shi Huai suddenly appear behind her.
When Shi Huai saw everyone in the box coming out, he simply said a few words to Zhou Jibai and hurried back to the box. As a result, he heard Qin Bilan actually provocatively bullying her sister-in-law.
Do you really think she is dead?
Ruoyu saw that Shi Huai actually slapped Qin Bilan, and was afraid that this ancestor would have a miscarriage, so she quickly stood up and blocked Shi Huai's way.
Shi Huai took a deep breath, a look of anger on his face as he pointed at Qin Bilan's face: "You graduated from a prestigious university, you're an elite returnee, you have such a pretty face and such a smart mind, why don't you do something else, why do you have to interfere in other people's marriages?"
Qin Bilan gnashed her teeth, unbendingly angry, and yelled at Shi Huai, "I'm interfering in other people's relationships? It's Ruoyu herself who's unworthy of Zhou Xu. Was there even the slightest mistake in what I said?"
"Do you need to tell me whether Ruoyu is worthy or not? After all, they are a legal couple. As long as they don't divorce, you are just a mistress who can't be shown in public! And are your words necessarily true? If Ruoyu showed Zhou Xu these photos and messages you sent, how would Zhou Xu react?"
Qin Bilan snorted, looking completely fearless, as if she and Zhou Xu had already worked together.
"You'd better show it to Zhou Xu. Don't blame me for not reminding you not to humiliate yourself then."
While saying this, he had actually shifted some of his attention to Ruoyu's mobile phone on the dining table.
Qin Bilan picked up the kettle on the table and was about to pour it on Ruoyu's cell phone.
At the critical moment, Ruoyu was one step faster than her and protected the phone tightly with her own hands. Before she could dodge, boiling hot water poured on the back of Ruoyu's hand.
"Ah!" Ruoyu screamed in pain.
Seeing that Qin Bilan didn't stop, Shi Huai took a step forward and grabbed Qin Bilan's hair.
"Ah! You bitch, let go!"
The two screams attracted the attention of people outside the box.
When Zhou Xu heard Ruoyu's scream of pain, he immediately went to the box and saw this scene.
Ruoyu was trying to mediate, thinking that Shihuai was still pregnant, and it would be terrible if anything happened to her and the baby in her belly.
Shi Huai pulled Qin Bilan's hair and pressed her face on the table.
It's only been less than ten minutes and the box is already in chaos?
Zhou Xu noticed that the back of Ruoyu's hand was red and swollen from the hot water, so he immediately stepped forward and distanced the few people from each other.
Zhou Xu held Ruoyu in his arms, frowning as he looked at Qin Bilan who was gasping for breath.
Qin Bilan was the first to complain, tears streaming down her face. "Boss Zhou, you have to stand up for me. Your wife and your sister-in-law teamed up to bully me."
Zhou Xu lowered her eyes and exchanged a glance with Ruoyu. For some reason, as she leaned into Zhou Xu's arms, a feeling of grievance, anger, and unwillingness surged up at the same time. She choked and said, "I didn't!"
Ruoyu bit her lower lip, her mind was in a mess.
As soon as she saw Zhou Xu's face, the words Qin Bilan said to herself echoed in her ears, and she wanted to be alone.
Ruoyu took out the phone she had been protecting and handed it to Zhou Xu. Her rosy eyes were covered with a layer of water. "Zhou Xu, what is the relationship between you and Qin Bilan? Don't you have anything to explain to me?"
Zhou Xu frowned tightly, "She's just my secretary."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruoyu closed her eyes and shed a tear. She pushed Zhou Xu away, turned around and ran out of the box.
Cheng Ling, Yu Liangwen, and Shi Huai stood aside, gasping for air and simultaneously spitting at Zhou Xu: "Scumbag."
Zhou Xu was confused and looked at the three people who were cursing him as a scumbag with some bewilderment.
But he didn't have the mood or time to care about that now. He picked up the coat that Ruoyu left on the dining chair, ran out of the box and chased after his wife.
There were only four of them left in the box.
Shi Huai looked at Qin Bilan who was glaring at him angrily, tilted his head and looked at her innocently.
"Secretary Qin, are you using these despicable tactics to force Ruoyu to initiate a divorce from Zhou Xu?"
"Isn't what I said the truth? Ruoyu is just a woman with low education and no ability. Zhou Xu will hate her sooner or later. It's better for me to say it in advance and give her freedom as soon as possible." Until now, Qin Bilan still looked down on Ruoyu with a condescending attitude.
Shi Huai walked forward slowly and locked eyes with Qin Bilan. "What qualifications do you have to judge Ruoyu? Because you were Zhou Xu's college classmate? Because you were Zhou Xu's secretary?"
"Just because you are willing to belittle yourself, do you think that everyone will belittle their own value like you?" Shi Huai raised his hand high again.
Qin Bilan widened her eyes. Just when she thought Shi Huai was going to slap her, she saw Shi Huai's slap lightly on her shoulder.
"You have such a high level of education, such intelligence, courage and foresight, yet you insist on interfering in other people's marriages and becoming a man's mistress. I think you're the more pitiful one. I won't hit you anymore, just take care of yourself."
Qin Bilan was slightly stunned.
Shi Huai also praised her, which she really didn't expect. But this praise did not make her very happy, instead it was like a thousand slaps in the face, making her extremely embarrassed.
Having said that, Shi Huai picked up the phone on the table and turned away.
Cheng Ling and Yu Liangwen stayed where they were, watching Shi Huai leave, without even glancing at Qin Bilan, and left one after another.
The weather has turned cooler recently, and Jiang'an is located to the north, so the temperature drops much lower at night than during the day.
As soon as he went outside, the cold air made Shi Huai gasp.
Cheng Ling gave Shi Huai a thumbs up, "As expected of Master Zhou Er's wife, she's as eloquent as he is."
Shi Huai couldn't help but think of Zhou Jibai's mouth.
She still had a long way to go before she could catch up with Zhou Jibai.
But she felt really sorry for Zhou Jibai. She and her sister-in-law decided to come to Jiang'an at the last minute and forgot to inform Zhou Jibai.
My phone was being used for other things at the time, so I turned it on airplane mode to avoid being disturbed.
Zhou Jibai was so anxious that he couldn't get through to himself. Later, he finally got through to Zhou Xu and found out her location.
"I'll drive you back to the hotel." Cheng Ling offered.
Shi Huai agreed.
When he was about to go to the parking space, Cheng Ling suddenly remembered that his car keys were left in the box.
"Look at my memory. Wait a minute, I'm going back to the box to get the key."
After saying that, Cheng Ling turned and ran away, leaving Shi Huai and Yu Liangwen standing there.
Seeing that Shi Huai still didn't recognize him, Yu Liangwen took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere, "It seems that you really don't remember me."
Shi Huai was obviously stunned when he heard Yu Liangwen's words. He pointed at himself and then at Yu Liangwen, and asked doubtfully, "Eh? Do I know you?"
Yu Liangwen smiled helplessly: "Jingchang University, School of Arts, Junior Sister Shi Huai. I was the senior who helped you with your luggage when school started."
Shi Huai was stunned, still couldn't remember who the person in front of him was.
After all... she had a lot of luggage at the time, and many seniors helped her carry it.
Seeing that Shi Huai still had no recollection of him, Yu Liangwen sighed again, "When the school was closed and you were punished for climbing over the wall, who helped you erase it?"
When this is mentioned, Shi Huai has an impression!
She immediately smiled, "Senior Yu!!"
Yu Liangwen chuckled: "Finally recognized me."
When Shi Huai was in college, he had countless suitors, and Yu Liangwen was actually one of them.
At first, I added Shi Huai on WeChat to help her with her luggage. We often played games together and said good morning and good night to each other.
When he was a freshman, the school was closed for a period of time. Yu Liangwen happened to be a member of the student union, and he would often conduct surprise inspections to see if anyone was climbing over the wall or climbing the back mountain to leave the school.
Shi Huai was caught several times and he always asked him to help him erase his name.
This person was a lifesaver for Shi Huai! During her freshman year, she kept in touch with Yu Liangwen and would treat him to milk tea and chicken pot to thank him for saving her life.
But later Yu Liangwen graduated from university and could no longer come to school often, so the two gradually lost contact.
Yu Liangwen asked with concern, "How have you been lately? You should have graduated from university, right? Are you still staying in Changjing?"
Shi Huai thought that his life was quite exciting, after all, he had died once.
But what made Yu Liangwen very curious was how Shi Huai knew Zhou Xu and the others?
But it seems that Shi Huai should be acquainted with Mr. Zhou's wife. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so protective of Ruoyu, and he wouldn't even come all the way from Changjing to accompany Ruoyu to Jiang'an.
"I'm still in Changjing. But what are you doing now, senior? Are you still helping your father manage the company in Jiang'an?" Shi Huai blinked her gentle and beautiful eyes.
The moment Yu Liangwen looked at Shi Huai, his heart started beating faster again.
Her Adam's apple bulged, and a blush suddenly appeared on her ears. "I'm going back to Changjing this year. If there's a chance, we can have dinner together and catch up with old classmates."
It’s not like Shi Huai hasn’t been in love before, so how could he not understand what Yu Liangwen meant?
She had been able to tell that Yu Liangwen was interested in her since they were in school, but during a casual chat, Yu Liangwen had revealed that he was returning to his hometown, Jiang'an, to inherit the family business. Shi Huai, feeling insecure at the time, didn't want a long-distance relationship. So, she played dumb in Yu Liangwen's repeated attempts, delaying the relationship until he graduated, at which point they finally severed contact.
When I was young, I didn't like falling in love, but I loved playing with the innocent hearts of young people. Thinking of this, Shi Huai felt a pang of conscience being condemned.
But now is not the time for youth. Shi Huai showed the wedding ring on his right ring finger and said, "I'm married."
Hearing this, Yu Liangwen's brain suddenly froze, and a blank space filled his entire head.
Shi Huai cast his tender eyes on his belly again, "I just found out I'm pregnant."
Yu Liangwen's smile was frozen on his face. He opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.
After a long moment, he spoke again: "Congratulations."
"Thank you."
The topic is fixed here.
The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger. Shi Huai would occasionally glance at the Cantonese restaurant, wondering why Cheng Ling hadn't returned yet. She was about to freeze to death here.
Yu Liangwen noticed something was wrong with Shi Huai. Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes today, he quickly took off his coat and put it on her.
"It's windy at night, be careful not to catch a cold."
Shi Huai was about to refuse when he heard a cold and indifferent voice coming from in front of them.
"Thank you for your concern. She has a husband."
Under the street light, Zhou Jibai was wearing an exquisite and neat white shirt and suit pants, holding a black handmade custom suit in his hand. He walked towards Shi Huai with a capable and handsome look.
Zhou Jibai just got home from get off work and found that his wife was gone.
I couldn't find the person and couldn't get through on the phone. I chased my grandmother and asked her questions, only to find out that my wife had left me and my elder sister-in-law and went to Jiang'an.
Jiang An was so big that he couldn't get through to Shi Huai after getting off the plane, so he could only call Zhou Xu. Only then did he know Shi Huai's whereabouts, and he immediately came to the Cantonese restaurant.
As soon as I got out of the taxi, I saw Shi Huai talking and laughing with a man.
He also laughed, but he was angry.
Zhou Jibai didn't even glance at Yu Liangwen. He took off the coat he had draped over Shi Huai's shoulders and handed it back to Yu Liangwen. He then put his own suit on Shi Huai.
"Back to the hotel?"
Shi Huai: “Yeah.”
From the force with which Zhou Jibai threw the coat into his hand, Yu Liangwen could clearly sense the anger that Shi Huai's husband felt towards him.
Yu Liangwen looked at the two people's backs as they were about to leave and said softly, "Shi Huai, goodbye."
Hearing Yu Liangwen's farewell, Shi Huai turned around and looked at him with a sweet smile, her bright eyes like the stars shining in the night sky.
"Goodbye, senior."
Zhou Jibai's mouth twitched for a moment, and he turned back to look at Yu Liangwen, with a forced smile, and followed Shi Huai's example and shouted, "Goodbye, senior."
The two people walked farther and farther away, and after walking for a while, neither of them asked for a taxi.
The warmth in Zhou Jibai's eyes gradually cooled, and a solemn expression flashed across his face as he glanced at Shi Huai. "Have you read too many novels about domineering CEOs? Are you trying to run away with me with the ball?"
