Qi Mingyuan silently lowered his raised hand. After all, in the blink of an eye, there was no place on Qi Guangyao's face where he could touch him.
He felt melancholy in his heart. As he got older, his movements and reactions were not as quick as those of young people.
Qi Guangyao stared at the two people who slapped him with wide eyes in disbelief: Qi Shengzhi and a pretty girl with a strange face. The burning pain on his face reminded him that he had actually been slapped twice at the same time?!
He was in pain and annoyed, and he didn't bother to settle the score with the strange girl. He first angrily said to Qi Shengzhi:
"Brother, I'm standing up for you, and you hit me?!"
Qi Shengzhi looked at him coldly. The smile that was usually visible in his beautiful peach blossom eyes was gone. His voice was cold:
"Since you know I'm your brother, you should know she's your sister-in-law. Who taught you to talk to your sister-in-law so rudely?"
He may not recognize Qu Jingyun, but Qi Guangyao does have his father's blood. If he had not been taught astray by Qu Jingyun since childhood, he would not have such great malice towards his half-brother.
But the mother and daughter just regarded him as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. The huge Qi family just couldn't accommodate a little boy like him. Qu Jingyun had disliked him since he was a child. Because she wanted to create the image of a good wife and mother in front of Qi Mingyuan, she often used Qi Guangyao to frame him and disgust him.
The first thing Qi Shengzhi did after he grew up was to move out of the Qi family. The Qi family did not have the family affection he wanted, and he did not care about the wealth of the Qi family.
But he still underestimated Qu Jingyun's hostility towards him. Even though he expressed his disinterest in Qi Mingyuan's business from the beginning, she still set traps for him and set up defenses everywhere, destroying the already indifferent family relationship between them.
From then on, Qi Shengzhi realized that there was a life-and-death feud between him and Qu Jingyun.
As long as he exists, he is the biggest hidden danger to her, a shadow on the happy life of her family of three, and a stumbling block for her biological son Qi Guangyao to inherit the family property.
Since this is the case, there is no way to avoid it. There is no need to avoid it anymore. Qi Shengzhi no longer hides his edge. After several fights, Qu Jingyun and her son did not get any better. Instead, their lives became much more peaceful.
When Qu Jingyun saw Qi Guangyao being slapped, she wanted to rush up and grab Hua Qishengzhi and Shao Jingque's faces. However, just as she was about to move, she was held down by Qi Mingyuan beside her.
Qi Mingyuan's face was as gloomy as water, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes when he looked at Qi Shengzhi - no matter what, he had already lost face today, and it was rare to see Qi Shengzhi disciplining Qi Guangyao like an older brother, which was better than treating his younger brother like air as usual.
Qu Jingyun just thought that Qi Mingyuan was biased towards Qi Shengzhi and allowed Qi Shengzhi to slap Qi Guangyao in public. She felt so angry that she almost exploded!
But if she can't afford to offend Qi Shengzhi, can't she handle Shao Jingque? !
Qu Jingyun turned around and poured all his anger on Shao Jingque, raising his hand with his eyes wide open to hit back:
"Who the hell do you think you are?! Why did you hit my son?!"
Unexpectedly, before her raised hand could fall, it was grabbed by Yue Feiying.
Although Yue Feiying looked pale and thin, the strength in his hands was astonishing, and Qu Jingyun's eyebrows and nose were wrinkled in pain.
Looking at Yue Feiying's face again, it was uglier than when he had just called her names:
"Aunt Qu, please speak with respect. Jing Que is my guest. If you hit her in the face, you are hitting our Yue family in the face!"
Qu Jingyun was so angry she nearly exploded. Could it be that the Yue family's guest was more important than her son? Could anyone slap her son in the face?
She couldn't stand this kind of grievance any longer, so she just threw it all away and started crying to Qi Mingyuan:
"Mingyuan, Guangyao is also your son. Are you just going to watch others slap him? Shengzhi is his brother, so it's okay to teach him a lesson, but now any outsider can teach your son a lesson? Guangyao's reputation is not the face of the Qi family? Are you going to let us, mother and son, be bullied like this?"
Although Qu Jingyun was annoying when she threw a tantrum, what she said was right. He could teach Qi Mingyuan's son a lesson, and his brother Qi Shengzhi could also teach him a lesson, but it was absolutely not something an outsider could arbitrarily point fingers at, let alone slap him in the face in public.
Seeing Yue Feiying stepping forward to protect the strange girl behind her, Yue Jialiang also kept silent with a dark face. Qi Mingyuan did not want to cause unpleasantness with the Yue family at the wedding, so he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice:
"Feiying, since this girl is your guest, she is your friend. No matter how angry a young person is, he shouldn't just slap someone. Ask your friend to apologize to Guangyao, and let this matter end here. I won't pursue it."
Yue Feiying raised her eyebrows, but before she could say anything, Shao Jingque stood up:
"Of course I have to apologize, but he's the one apologizing to me!"
Qu Jingyun was so shocked by these words that she even forgot to cry. She thought Shao Jingque was completely crazy and wanted to tear her mouth apart - she hit someone and wanted them to apologize to her?!
Qi Guangyao, who had been stunned, finally reacted at this time. He didn't know this woman at all. Not only did he get slapped in vain, but she actually had the nerve to ask him to apologize?
"You hit me and you want me to apologize to you?! What right did you have to hit me?!"
Shao Jingque picked up the scattered photos on the table, stepped forward fearlessly, stood in front of Qi Guangyao, held the photos in front of him, and said word by word:
"Just because you insulted my fiancé, calling him a wild man and slandering his character! I'm telling you, my fiancé is a hero fighting the floods and disaster relief. He's not someone you can just spread rumors and slander at will!"
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar——
It turns out that the officer in the photo is the beautiful girl’s fiancé, no wonder she was angry!
Shao Jingque turned to the crowd, pointed at Lu Zhan in the photo and said:
"My name is Shao Jingque, and I'm a singer in the art troupe. His name is Lu Zhan, and he's a battalion commander in the 718th Army, and he's also my fiancé."
"Yue Feiying is my good friend. When the photo showed her going to see Lu Zhan, it was actually the beginning of our acquaintance. She enthusiastically helped us deliver letters. If it weren't for the sudden flood in Henan Province and Lu Zhan being ordered to go to the flood relief work, we would have been married by now."
"I don't know what motivation someone had for taking these photos and deliberately spreading them at her wedding. I believe everyone here can make their own judgment."
Hearing Shao Jingque come forward to explain for Yue Feiying, not only Qi Mingyuan, but also Yue Jialiang's expressions looked much better, thinking that they had really wronged their daughter before.
Everyone thought it was just a misunderstanding. With his fiancée testifying, what was there to doubt? No one would stand up for their rival.
Only Qu Jingyun sneered. If Shao Jingque could have a partner who was a battalion commander, would he have agreed to her blind date with Qi Shengzhi?
"You said you were Yue Feiying's good friend, so of course you were speaking for her. Birds of a feather flock together, and you lied so easily that you just stood up and pretended to be someone's fiancée. Who can prove that what you said was true?"
"I can prove it!"
