Hearing this, Qin Ruanruan, who had been silent all this time, looked at Qiu Yuxin with gratitude, tears of excitement flashing in her eyes. She couldn't wait to explain to Cheng Qinqin:
"Comrade Cheng, please believe every word I say. I truly have never had the slightest thought of seducing Director Qiu! We are simply working partners, and it's inevitable that we'll have some interactions due to our daily business dealings.
Comrade Qiu is very good, but I have always had only respect for Director Qiu and never had any improper thoughts about him!"
Cheng Qinqin stared closely at Qin Runrun's eyes that were full of sincerity, and the anger that had been burning in her heart gradually subsided as if blown away by a breeze.
Why should she bother with this pair of scumbags and bitches? Wouldn't it be an insult to her own dignity to bother with them?
"Sister Qinqin, if you're willing, we can sit down and have a good talk calmly."
Seeing Qinqin's expression soften, Qin Ruanruan quickly continued, "Let's get everything out in the open and talk it out so we can clear up any unnecessary misunderstandings between us!"
After hearing this, Cheng Qinqin did not respond immediately, but fell into a brief silence.
After a long while, as if after careful consideration, she finally nodded slowly, indicating her agreement, because she knew very well that if she continued to argue endlessly like this, nothing would be solved.
Only by finding the source of the conflict can we resolve the dispute fundamentally.
At this moment, Qiu Yuxin, who had been quietly observing the development of the situation, suggested:
"Since everyone is willing to do so, why don't we go sit down in the courtyard and talk slowly."
Everyone expressed their agreement.
Qiu Sicheng and others then went to the courtyard together.
After everyone was seated, Qiu Sicheng was the first to break the silence, clearing his throat and saying:
"Here, first of all, please allow me to solemnly apologize to Comrade Qin Ruanruan on behalf of my wife. But at the same time, I also want to explain on my wife's behalf that this matter is indeed not entirely her fault. My wife has always been a kind-hearted and upright comrade. It's just that this time, for some reason, she was maliciously instigated by others, which led to such a big misunderstanding of me."
Qin Ruanruan is also very generous:
"Director Qiu, what's going on? How can you blame Sister Qinqin? If you want to blame someone, blame the person who sowed discord!"
Cheng Qinqin watched their clumsy performance coldly, and a sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, she had regained her usual composure, with a look of determination and resolve in her eyes. She slowly spoke:
"We're all smart people, so let's not play those empty tricks. I don't think there's any need to explain what's going on between you two.
Comrade Qiu Sicheng, since the feelings between us have disappeared like a mirage, after I return, I will naturally think carefully about how to choose my own life path in the future.
As for the relationship between you and Qin Ruanruan, I have no interest in digging into it, but I absolutely cannot willingly spend the rest of my life with someone like you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Sicheng immediately jumped up and down in panic, his face flushed red, and he shouted loudly:
"Qinqin, how could you say such hurtful words? Don't you even want to give me the most basic trust?"
In fact, Qiu Sicheng did have a deep affection for Qin Runrun in his heart, but when he was at the crossroads where his career prospects and personal interests were intertwined, after a fierce ideological struggle, he finally tilted the scales towards his wife Cheng Qinqin without hesitation.
After all, for him, realistic considerations far outweigh momentary emotional impulses.
He deeply understood that although love is as beautiful and moving as a dream, when faced with the tremendous pressure imposed by the cruel reality, this feeling seems as thin as a cicada's wing, so fragile that people can't bear to look at it, and it can be easily shattered into pieces.
What's worse is that the woman named Qin Ruanruan is actually far from being as perfect as he originally imagined.
There is also the key point that he must thoroughly investigate, such as how the relationship between him and Qin Ruanruan was accidentally leaked, what role Qin Ruanruan played in this whole incident, and how much influence she exerted.
Perhaps, Qin Ruanruan had many unspeakable problems from the very beginning.
"Why did I say this to you? Why do I no longer trust you? Isn't the reason obvious enough?"
Cheng Qinqin asked indifferently.
She always adheres to her own unique marriage principles - it doesn't matter if her future partner is ugly, dull or lacks outstanding abilities; but she will never tolerate the other party being indecisive or fickle.
And now, Qiu Sicheng has touched this insurmountable red line.
"Qinqin, please listen to me. Can we wait until we get home to discuss and resolve this matter?"
Qiu Sicheng's face was full of pleading, and he pleaded humbly.
"Okay, then I'll just do as you say for now and we'll figure it out when we get home."
Although she was still furious, Cheng Qinqin decided to save some face for Qiu Sicheng, considering that he was the biological father of her precious daughter.
"Okay, let's go back now." Qiu Sicheng quickly stood up and pulled Cheng Qinqin out.
In order to gain Cheng Qinqin's forgiveness and save his crumbling marriage and damaged reputation, Qiu Sicheng has thrown away all his self-esteem and pride.
As soon as he got home, he knelt in front of Cheng Qinqin without hesitation and kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead hitting the ground with a crisp and heavy sound, as if each kowtow carried his deep regret and self-blame.
At the same time, he solemnly swore to the sky:
"Heaven above, earth below, I, Qiu Sicheng, swear before God that from now on I will turn over a new leaf and never repeat my past mistakes. If I break this oath, I will suffer a fate worse than death!"
Cheng Qinqin did not believe in the oath. Facing Qiu Sicheng's pretense, she just looked at him coldly.
Qiu Sicheng was determined to completely calm the rage burning in Cheng Qinqin's heart.
"Qinqin, I know I did something wrong. Now you won't believe anything I say. In this situation, all I can say is, please wait and see what I will do next."
After saying that, Qiu Sicheng left.
Cheng Qinqin looked at Qiu Sicheng's back as he walked out, and really wanted to follow him and ask him what he wanted to do there.
