Chapter 90 Marriage Fraud
◎When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy◎
Zhao Xiangwan said: "For women, it is best to stay away from anything that makes them feel hesitant and uneasy. Trust your intuition, which can often save lives."
After hearing this, all the girls in the dormitory became nervous.
Zhang Yalan said: "Zhao Xiangwan is right. In the cases we heard about in class, many female murders actually had clues at the beginning and could be detected in advance."
Wu Ruxin thought thoughtfully: "My mother also felt something was wrong, so she suspected that my brother was my father's biological son. Facts have proved that her suspicion was correct."
Meng Annan became increasingly uneasy. He took the candied haws out of his mouth, stared into Zhao Xiangwan's eyes and asked, "Then can you help me analyze what's wrong with my cousin's boyfriend?"
Wu Ruxin blurted out: "That's great! It seems too good to be true!"
This time, Zhang Yalan didn't cover her mouth, but nodded and said, "Yes, even your cousin feels uneasy, I guess there is something wrong with this man."
Meng Annan was very confused: "With an introducer and a formal job, both parents can visit at any time, what problem can there be?"
Yes, emotional cheaters will not reveal all their personal information. This man works in a magazine and has a formal position. It is impossible for him to resign easily. There is an introducer who is known to both parties. Both sides know each other's family conditions and know each other well. What problems can there be?
Zhao Xiangwan said: "Too perfect to be true. In this case, your cousin is right to hesitate. To understand a man, don't look at his strengths first, you have to look at his weaknesses first. Know the worst side of the other person. If you can accept this side, then consider whether to enter into marriage. So far, maybe your cousin hasn't found any flaws in the other person, so she is hesitant, right?"
After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Xiangwan continued, "Also, progressing too quickly is also a problem. Usually, when two people are dating, they need a process of getting to know each other. Not only does your cousin need to understand, but the man also needs to understand. Building a family is a serious matter, and the more outstanding people are, the more cautious they are, because they value their reputation. The man talked about marriage with your cousin after dating for less than two months. This... anyone would hesitate, right?"
Meng Annan exclaimed, "Yes, yes, yes. No wonder I felt uncomfortable after listening to what my cousin said. I can't tell why, but I just couldn't sleep. This matter was always on my mind."
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "This is a woman's intuition, or sixth sense. Although you can't tell the specific reason, you just feel that something is wrong. When encountering such a situation, you must be cautious, cautious, and cautious again."
Zhao Xiangwan had absolute say in the dormitory. Hearing what she said, Meng Annan took out a pen and paper without saying anything and began to write an application, preparing to ask the class teacher to apply for leaving the school. Halfway through, she was a little unsure and raised her head to ask, "Sisters, what should I write as the reason for leaving the school? I can't say that I'm helping my cousin to identify her boyfriend, right?"
Wu Ruxin gave her some advice: "Just write that your cousin is sick and alone in the hospital, and you have to go and accompany her."
Meng Annan didn't dare to lie, and hesitated before writing: "But, my cousin is not sick."
Zhang Yalan said firmly: "I am sick, love sickness."
Meng Annan was not stunned. He chuckled and began to write the application seriously.
The next afternoon, Meng Annan was allowed to leave school smoothly. At eight o'clock in the evening, Meng Annan returned to the dormitory with a troubled look on his face.
The other three roommates who had been waiting for her for a long time hurriedly dragged her to sit down and asked anxiously: "How is it? Did you see him? How is it? Is there any problem?"
Meng Annan frowned and took a long breath. He glanced at Zhang Yalan, Wu Ruxin, and Zhao Xiangwan, and thought for a moment, "I can't really tell."
Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyes and looked at Meng Annan, and said softly: "Don't be anxious, talk slowly, we will help you with some ideas together."
Meng Annan frowned and slowly shared what happened today and his own feelings with his roommate.
This afternoon, Meng An Nan left the school and found Gong Anyi in the kindergarten. He then said he wanted to meet the man. Gong Anyi grew up with Meng An Nan and trusted her very much. She was also hesitant, so when she heard the request, she immediately called the man and made an appointment to have dinner together.
Gong Anyi's boyfriend is Qu Youzhe, 26 years old, who doesn't smoke or drink, has no bad habits, and is very punctual. They agreed to have dinner at 6pm, but he arrived ten minutes early. When he saw the two sisters, he immediately stood up and was very polite.
Qu Youzhe was wearing a blue shirt with white stripes, a dark blue jacket, black pants, black leather shoes, and a mechanical watch on his left wrist. He held his left hand under his right wrist, stretched out his hand to Meng Annan, and said with a smile, "Hello, Meng Annan, right? I often hear An Yi mention you. I'm Qu Youzhe, your cousin's suitor."
Meng Annan was wearing sportswear, maintaining her usual neat style. She reached out her hand and shook hands with Qu Youzhe, feeling that his hand was very soft.
"Just like a woman's hand, soft and silky." This was Meng Annan's first impression to his roommates.
This time, it was Zhao Xiangwan who interrupted and asked a few details: "Did you see his nails? Are they neatly trimmed? Is there any dirt?"
Meng Annan thought for a moment: "It seems that she has left some nails, but they are trimmed very round, and each nail is like a shell, much more delicate than mine."
Four girls in the dormitory stretched out their hands at the same time. They had pink little hands with neat and clean nails, but they didn't have long nails because they had to do physical training every day, so they kept their nails bald.
Meng Annan glanced at his short and thick fingers and sighed, "Alas, my hands are useless. It's uglier than yours, but it's too much to be uglier than Qu Youzhe's hands."
Zhao Xiangwan asked again: "Does he have a beard?"
Meng Annan shook his head: "He must have just shaved, his face is quite smooth. He has a fair face, crooked eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips. He really looks like the type my cousin likes. His clothes are very clean, and you can tell that he is a hygienic person. When I got close, I could smell a pleasant scent. I don't know if it's the smell of shaving water, shampoo, soap, or something else."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Is it possible that it is the smell of perfume?"
Meng Annan was a little stunned: "Perfume? Do men also spray perfume? That's impossible."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled: "Some men, especially Western men, will spray perfume in social occasions."
The other three girls shuddered at the same time.
In dormitory 316, no girl wears perfume.
A man lives a more refined life than a woman? How can a woman feel embarrassed about this?
After getting the answer he wanted, Zhao Xiangwan said, "Okay, I have no questions, please continue."
Meng Annan continued.
Gong Anyi arranged dinner at a western restaurant. The music was playing, the decoration was western-style, and the tableware was beautiful and elegant. Qu Youzhe carefully ordered steak, red wine, and fruit salad for everyone. During the meal, he listened attentively and answered politely, and his performance was impeccable.
Gong Anyi likes children, so Qu Youzhe asked her whether there were any troublesome children in the class she taught today, whether they were well-behaved, what she taught them, and whether it was hard work.
Meng Annan was a tomboy, so Qu Youzhe asked her concernedly what homework she had at school, whether she had any training, and when the sports meet would start.
Seeing that Meng Annan was not very good at using Western knife and fork, Qu Youzhe patiently and carefully taught her how to hold the fork in her left hand and the knife in her right hand, cut the steak into small pieces and then eat it with the fork.
Meng Annan also asked him some questions.
Which school did you go to, what major did you study, when did you graduate, why did you work for a magazine, have you ever talked to a friend before, what do you like to do, what are your daily hobbies, what housing did you get from your company, what are your plans for the future...
Meng Annan asked detailed questions, but Qu Youzhe didn't look unhappy at all and answered them one by one.
Hearing this, Wu Ruxin couldn't help but be curious: "What kind of sports does he like?"
Meng Annan said: "He said he would play tennis occasionally."
"Tennis? There aren't many tennis courts in our Star City, right? Where can he play?"
"I asked him, and he said there is a tennis court at Santai Road Primary School. He would go there to play tennis when he is free."
"An elementary school actually has a tennis court? This elementary school is pretty high-end."
"That's right. Santai Road is where the municipal party committee is located. Government agencies are concentrated here, and the primary school is very beautiful."
Zhao Xiangwan was a little absent-minded when he heard "Santai Road Primary School". Yesterday, Liu Liangju mentioned the murder case. Did it happen at Santai Road Primary School?
Zhao Xiangwan shook his head, thinking it was probably just a coincidence.
Meng Annan's cousin talked about a guy who occasionally went to elementary school to play tennis. What does this have to do with the murder case? Xing City is only so big, and it is normal for some of their movements to overlap.
Wu Ruxin was a little confused: "Meng, didn't you say he looked like a weak scholar? Why does he like playing tennis? Tennis is a very strenuous sport, and the racket is very heavy. Most people's arms would hurt after just a few swings."
Meng Annan thought about it carefully: "Did I say he looked like a weak scholar? I don't think so."
Zhang Yalan said confidently, "You didn't say it, but from your cousin's description and your words, I also have this feeling. What soft hands, handsome face, love of hygiene, long nails, attentive and considerate... Such a man gives me the feeling of a weak scholar. But now you tell us that he likes to play tennis, which is really inconsistent, don't you think?"
Meng Annan suddenly realized: "Yes! This is what I have always found strange. He is like a perfect character created according to the public's aesthetic taste. He loves sports, loves cleanliness, understands women, and is cultured. But some advantages are actually contradictory, right? People who love sports, like me, are more casual and don't love cleanliness so much. They are always moving and sweating. Who would be patient enough to change and wash clothes all the time, let alone grow nails, such as nail care and other details? It is impossible to live such a delicate life."
Zhang Yalan continued to ask him: "You have been talking about his strengths, what about his weaknesses? Are there any?"
Meng Annan thought for a long time and shook his head: "Really not. He is gentle, considerate, attentive, generous, polite, and speaks in a voice that is neither too high nor too low. He always asks just the right questions, neither offending you nor making you feel interested in talking."
Oh, so perfect?
Anyway, no one believes it.
There is no such thing as a perfect person in this world.
Zhang Yalan's eyes widened. "Impossible! I am so outstanding, but I have the shortcoming of being impulsive. I don't think before I speak, I don't care about others very much, and even my mother rarely praises me. If it weren't for classmate Zhao's criticism and help, I wouldn't even know that my mother was seriously injured."
Earlier, when Wu Ruxin heard Zhang Yalan say "I'm so outstanding", she rolled her eyes, but after hearing her sincere words, she was moved and continued her words: "That's right! My mother is outstanding, right? But she is too loyal and tolerant, which has encouraged my father's arrogance. My sister is outstanding, right? But she also has the problem of being too principled and not knowing how to adapt. As for me..."
Wu Ruxin hesitated for a moment, obviously not wanting to admit her shortcomings.
Zhang Yalan said it for her: "You are selfish and petty. You can't stand others being more prominent than you."
Wu Ruxin blushed and groaned, "Well, I'm trying hard to change."
Zhao Xiangwan couldn't help laughing when she heard the sisters in the dormitory criticizing and self-criticizing each other.
Zhao Xiangwan knows very well what her shortcomings are. She says that she prefers to be ignorant, but in fact she cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. She has a sharp personality and is very clear about right and wrong. She is not enthusiastic or thoughtful, and her actions are too individual. The first impression she gives people is that she is difficult to approach.
Someone as innocent, beautiful, and warm as Ji Zhao also has autism, speech disorders, and problems with not communicating with others.
But how come Qu Youzhe doesn’t have any flaws at all?
Zhang Yalan said, "Is it possible that he likes your cousin very much, so he tries hard to show himself and hides his shortcomings?"
Wu Ruxin also agreed with this view: "That's right. When in love, men must show their strengths. Who would openly expose their weaknesses?"
Meng Annan asked, "Do you mean that we have to learn it slowly?"
Zhang Yalan and Wu Ruxin said in unison: "That's right~"
The three of them looked at Zhao Xiangwan at the same time: "Zhao, what do you think we should do?"
After the girls lived together for a year, they started to address each other in various ways. At first, they called each other by their given names, Zhao Xiangwan and Zhang Yalan. Later, when they got to know each other well, they started to call each other by their given names, Wanwan and Lanlan. Later, when they got to know each other well, they became informal and found the overlapping names too complicated. It was more convenient to call each other by their given names, which only had one word and was simple. It just so happened that the four girls in 316 had different last names, so they ended up like this now - Zhao Xiangwan, Wanwan, Zhao. Whatever they called depended on their mood.
Zhao Xiangwan did not give a direct answer, but continued to ask: "He is so outstanding, so his requirements for his partner must be very high, right?"
Meng Annan said, "No, Qu Youzhe doesn't have high requirements for his partner. He told my cousin that as long as she is gentle and manages the household, takes care of her husband and children, it will be fine. If she wants to work, then she can continue to work. If she doesn't want to work, then she can get married and be a housewife, which is also fine."
Zhao Xiangwan spread his hands: "In other words, your cousin's biggest role for him is doing housework and giving birth to children?"
Meng Annan was stunned: "It seems like that." However, many men are like this. They choose a spouse for the purpose of getting married, having children, and settling down a family.
Zhao Xiangwan asked again: "Have you asked him why he likes your cousin?"
Meng Annan tilted his head: "He said he fell in love with my cousin at first sight. You have also seen my cousin, she is gentle and loves to laugh, like a little bird, and you can tell at first glance that she has a good temper, and she is quite popular with men."
Zhao Xiangwan: "Besides her good personality, what else attracted him to your cousin?"
Meng Annan: "My cousin loves to laugh, often interacts with children, speaks very gently, and especially likes to compliment people. She is kind, filial to her parents, and friendly to colleagues. Qu Youzhe must like her."
Zhang Yalan asked curiously, "After talking about the advantages for so long, what are the disadvantages of your cousin?"
Meng Annan thought for a moment: "My cousin is not tall and a little fat, which is what she is most dissatisfied with. To be honest, judging from her appearance alone, my cousin is not as pretty as Qu Youzhe, and she is not as good at dressing up as him."
Meng Annan's description was already a bit biased. Zhao Xiangwan had met Gong Anyi before. She was gentle and likable, but her appearance was ordinary.
This is quite interesting.
Generally speaking, men value beauty. A perfect man like Qu Youzhe would naturally want to find a beautiful one. So why did he fall for Gong Anyi?
There are two possibilities.
First, Qu Youzhe knows very well what kind of woman he wants and does not care about appearance. Or maybe it can be said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Qu Youzhe just likes slightly plump and gentle women like Gong Anyi.
Second, Qu Youzhe had big problems, so he lowered the conditions and found someone who was a little worse so that he could be easier to control.
Thinking of Gong Anyi's hesitation and Meng Annan's intuition, Zhao Xiangwan gave a suggestion: "To be safe, break up as soon as possible."
Meng Annan admired Zhao Xiangwan's decisiveness the most. He slapped his thigh and said, "I thought so too!"
After the fun was over, Meng Annan said, "But you have to give a reasonable reason. You don't know that everyone around my cousin is praising her. They are all envious and say that my cousin is blessed in her previous life. With her conditions, she can find such a perfect man. They are urging her to get married quickly and hold him tightly. They also want her to buy leather shoes for the matchmaker."
Zhang Yalan snorted: "We haven't gotten married yet, why buy you leather shoes?" According to local customs, newlyweds have to give a pair of shoes to the matchmaker to express their gratitude for the other party's hard work and concern.
Women are very emotional and easily influenced by the environment. Gong Anyi was still somewhat sober at first, but she was also somewhat tempted when the people around her fell to the ground and praised Qu Youzhe. If Meng Annan hadn't taken the initiative to come to her, Gong Anyi would have already planned to accept Qu Youzhe's proposal.
"Reason?" Zhao Xiangwan asked, "Contact your cousin and ask her to find time for me to meet this Qu Youzhe."
Combined with Meng Annan's description, Zhao Xiangwan was a little suspicious, but not sure.
Whether someone is loyal or treacherous, you can tell by reading his heart.
Meng Annan was overjoyed and jumped up happily, grabbing Zhao Xiangwan's arm: "Zhao, you are so nice! You understand micro-expression behavior, so it's absolutely no problem for you to judge it!"
Wu Ruxin and Zhang Yalan both laughed: "Yes, when we find a boyfriend in the future, we will let Zhao Xiangwan to judge him to see if he is sincere or not."
Zhao Xiangwan frowned and said, "I suggest you not to come to me. If I take action, it will probably be a big case."
The other three girls were shocked and speechless.
Zhao Xiangwan smiled softly, and the dormitory suddenly became lively. One by one, they rushed over and hit Zhao Xiangwan's shoulders: "I'll scare you!"
If I take action, it will be a big case.
When Zhao Xiangwan said this, he was just joking, but he didn't expect it to come true.
November weekend.
The autumn chill suddenly set in.
Zhao Xiangwan left the campus wearing a light grey sweater and dark blue jeans. Compared to the emerald green sweater and crimson coat she wore when she first entered school, her fashion sense has improved significantly.
We still decided to meet at that western restaurant. Qu Youzhe obviously liked this western atmosphere and enjoyed the process of teaching others how to use a knife and fork.
As soon as he sat down, Qu Youzhe called the waiter like a host: "Four steaks..."
Zhao Xiangwan did not follow the usual practice and interrupted him, asking the waiter: "Do you have a Chinese set meal? I am not used to using a knife and fork."
The waiter smiled politely: "Yes, we have various clay pot rice and set meals. You can take a look at the menu."
Zhao Xiangwan took the menu, discussed with Meng Annan, ordered two servings of chili fried pork clay pot rice, and asked the waiter to bring chopsticks. Then he looked at Qu Youzhe: "We have ordered, you and your cousin can order whatever you want."
Qu Youzhe didn't expect that this sophomore student in front of him was so resourceful. His eyes narrowed and his eyelids twitched slightly.
[This girl doesn't look easy to get along with. She's not as easy to control as An Yi and her cousin. I don't know what else An Yi is dissatisfied with. It would be fine if she asked her cousin to come over to judge, but today she dragged in another powerful character. ]
He was disgusted in his heart, but he was still polite and considerate: "Okay, I don't know what you young girls like, so it's fine for you to order by yourselves. An Yi, what do you want to eat? Chinese set meal or steak?"
Gong Anyi sat next to him and smiled softly: "I don't know much about Western food, so you decide."
Qu Youzhe was very satisfied with Gong Anyi's gentleness. He ordered two steaks, then put down the menu and turned to look at Zhao Xiangwan and Meng Annan who were sitting opposite him.
[Two female college students from the Public Security University, majoring in criminal investigation? Sounds intimidating. Unfortunately, they are pretty, but not the type that people like us can accept.]
Zhao Xiangwan narrowed his eyes. People like us? What kind of people?
A bad thought flashed through Zhao Xiangwan's mind, and he immediately became alert.
After ordering the food, there is boring waiting time.
Qu Youzhe crossed his hands over his chest. His voice was very attractive, low and a little hoarse, with a hint of baritone. He joked lightly, "My cousin brought another classmate here today. Is she worried about me? Do we need to have a three-court trial?"
Meng Annan smiled awkwardly: "No, no, no."
Gong Anyi was busy explaining, "It's not that I'm worried, I'm just curious. An An and her friends are usually very strict in school, so it's rare for them to come out. Zhao Xiangwan is An An's good friend, so they came out to play with me."
Qu Youzhe smiled, with the corners of his thin lips slightly raised. What a handsome boy.
[Jian Teng was right. He could achieve his goal of control by fabricating charges against her and asking her to explain herself.]
Control? What Zhao Xiangwan hated most was controlling people's hearts.
In this world, people’s hearts are unpredictable. Isn’t it good to respect each other? Why do we try to control others?
He has a human face, but he does things that are not human!
Who is Jian Teng?
Zhao Xiangwan heard what he was thinking and smiled, "Editor Qu Youzhe, right? I came here today to interrogate you. Do you dare to accept the interrogation of our criminal investigation students?"
You want me to keep proving myself, but I won't let you do that!
Qu Youzhe's eyelids twitched again and his pupils shrank.
[Zhao Xiangwan? You are just a young girl in her twenties. How can you have the guts to interrogate me? You are totally ignorant! You seem to be a little girl who doesn't know how to be humble. I will show you my charm today.]
Qu Youzhe put down his hands and leaned back on the chair, smiling and looking relaxed: "Come on, real gold is not afraid of fire, I am sincere to An Yi, there is nothing I can't tell you."
Gong Anyi felt a little embarrassed when she heard him say "sincerely" in front of everyone. She quietly touched his arm and said in a low voice, "What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense to the sisters."
When Gong Anyi's arm touched Qu Youzhe's arm, Zhao Xiangwan noticed that his body stiffened and his eyes were a little wandering, as if he was... enduring?
This is not the right reaction!
The body never lies; it is always more honest than the heart.
If you are in love, if you really like her, you will desire physical contact with her and want to be with her all the time.
Zhao Xiangwan finally realized where the incongruity was - this man was not sincere to Gong Anyi! He was avoiding Gong Anyi's physical contact.
Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were as fast as lightning as he stared at Qu Youzhe.
Having gone through countless interrogations, she has a certain power in her eyes that scares those with guilty consciences and makes them run away.
Qu Youzhe couldn't stand the gaze, so he turned to look at Meng Annan and said self-deprecatingly, "Do you students at the Public Security University have to practice interrogating prisoners? I see your classmate's eyes are so sharp, as if I am a criminal. Isn't this... not very polite?"
Gong Anyi felt a little uneasy, and winked at Meng Annan, asking her to take care of Zhao Xiangwan and not to make Qu Youzhe unhappy.
Before Meng Annan could say anything, Qu Youzhe started to laugh: "It's okay, I'm clear-minded, please."
Zhao Xiang looked him up and down and asked: "When did you graduate?"
“88.”
“Four years of work?”
"Yes."
"Have you always worked at the magazine?"
"Yes."
"Title, position?"
"Editor, no post."
“How are you getting along with your colleagues?”
"Not bad."
"Does the unit have rooms available?"
"I live in a single dormitory now. If I get married, I can apply for housing."
“How many girlfriends have you dated?”
"No, I am very cautious about relationships and I only met An Yi through an introduction."
These are all objective conditions, and Qu Youzhe did not intend to hide them, and answered them fluently. Zhao Xiangwan had already learned about these situations from Meng Annan, and now asking was just to loosen his muscles.
When asked this question, Zhao Xiangwan's eyes dimmed and his speech speed suddenly increased.
"Do you live alone or with your parents?"
"I live alone."
“Do you buy and wash your own clothes?”
"Yes."
“Do you wash your hair and take a shower every day?”
"Yes, I prefer cleanliness."
Zhao Xiangwan sniffed the faint scent of perfume in the air: "Do you like perfume?"
Qu Youzhe was stunned for a moment.
[I used a little bit of men's cologne, how did he smell it? Don't girls like this scent? Why did she ask this? Did she discover something?]
"It should be the smell of shaving water, right?"
Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are lying."
Qu Youzhe felt inexplicably angry as if he was being verbally attacked: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Xiangwan said: "I have a very sensitive nose. This scent is mainly based on the sweet and fresh scent of citrus, with orange blossom, rosa canna and lavender. Men usually don't spray perfume, but pour the perfume into their hands, pat their hands lightly, and then pat it gently on their neck or body, so the fragrance on your palms and neck is more intense."
Qu Youzhe was exposed for using perfume, and for some reason he felt a bit weird.
He took a deep breath and turned to Gong Anyi to explain: "I like perfume and occasionally use some men's perfume. I wonder if you can accept it?"
In the 1990s, people were relatively traditional in their thinking. Men considered masculinity to be beautiful. Such behavior as applying perfume on the body was generally defined as "feminine". Qu Youzhe was exposed by Zhao Xiangwan. He was embarrassed and had to admit it and explain it to Gong Anyi.
Gong Anyi forced a smile: "Well, it's your hobby, I respect it."
Gong Anyi lives in a dormitory in kindergarten. She has no furniture except a bed, a bedside table, a desk and a simple wardrobe. She uses a bottle of vanishing cream to take care of her face.
When the two of them were together, they could smell a faint fragrance on him, but they thought it was the scent of soap left over from their recent shower, so they didn't say anything.
Perfume? Such a sophisticated, Western-style hobby feels so far away from me as a person who came from a small county town.
At this moment, Gong Anyi's desire to spend her life with Qu Youzhe began to waver.
It's not that I dislike Qu Youzhe wearing perfume, but I suddenly feel that our lifestyles are very different, and I don't know if we can get along in the future.
Because Zhao Xiangwan directly pointed out that he lied, the "gentle and refined" shell covering Qu Youzhe began to crack. He looked at Zhao Xiangwan, his attitude was no longer friendly, and he said coldly: "You, do you have any other questions?"
【Did she know something? No, that's impossible. I hid it so well, no one would know. Jian Teng said that as long as we don't tell anyone, no one would know. This is my personal emotional choice, what does it have to do with others? I read an article saying that people like us are born, determined by genes. I really work hard, really hard.】
The more Zhao Xiangwan listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
When I heard the name "Jian Teng" again, an inexplicable sense of vigilance rose from the bottom of my feet.
Who is Jian Teng? What does private emotional choice mean? What kind of people are "people like us"? !
Thinking of Qu Youzhe's rejection of Gong Anyi's body just now, Zhao Xiangwan could almost conclude one thing.
It was only a vague suspicion before, but now the suspicion has been confirmed.
How can there be such vicious people in this world!
Looking up at Qu Youzhe once again, from his neatly combed hair, clean and handsome face, to his black shirt, white suit, and striped tie without a speck of dirt, to his shiny black leather shoes and neatly trimmed and beautiful nails, Zhao Xiangwan let out a long sigh.
Sure enough, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
It is very unusual that such a perfect man wants to marry a young woman of average looks, gentleness and love to smile in such a short time.
He didn't love her at all. No, he didn't love any woman at all.
He is gay.
In the 1990s, people were traditional in their thinking. Even wearing perfume would be considered effeminate. So homosexuality was simply intolerable. If someone was found to be homosexual, his family, colleagues, and most people in society would look down on him. When he walked on the street, people would point fingers at him and say, "That's him. He's a shameless homosexual."
He is pretending. He is trying to make himself the ideal object for most girls, trying to make himself perfect and attract girls' hearts, so as to deceive them into agreeing to marry him and help him fulfill his need to continue his family line, hiding his true sexual orientation from the world.
To be honest, Zhao Xiangwan does not despise homosexuality.
As Qu Ruzhe said, homosexuality is determined by genes and is innate. He has no feelings towards women and cannot generate any impulse or joyful emotions.
However, in order to cover up himself, he deceived the feelings of an innocent girl, married her, and gave birth to a child. This kind of homosexuality is shameful, abominable, and damnable!
Zhao Xiangwan felt terrified whenever he thought about the fact that if Meng Annan hadn't felt something was wrong, and if he hadn't come over for this meal, the smiling and gentle Gong Anyi in front of him would have married a homosexual and would have had to endure his mental control.
Fortunately, there is still time.
Zhao Xiangwan suppressed his anger and refrained from physically engaging in a conflict.
Zhao Xiangwan's voice was very cold: "Qu Youzhe, do you love Gong Anyi?"
Qu Youzhe nodded: "Of course."
Zhao Xiangwan sneered, with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "Please hold her hand tightly and then tell me the answer."
Qu Youzhe looked at Zhao Xiangwan in disbelief, with panic flashing in his eyes.
Meng Annan widened his eyes and turned his gaze from Zhao Xiangwan to Qu Youzhe.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qu Youzhe gritted his teeth, slowly reached out his hand, and held Gong Anyi's hand. His hand was trembling slightly, and his muscles were tense.
His smile was very stiff, but he closed his eyes and tried to make himself say the answer he thought everyone was expecting: "I love Gong Anyi."
Zhao Xiangwan's eyes flashed coldly, and he pointed at his hand and looked at Meng Annan: "Did you notice that his body was stiff? He doesn't love your cousin."
Meng Annan stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and looked at Qu Youzhe fiercely.
She knew what was wrong! Qu Youzhe said he loved his cousin, but he had never held her hand or looked at her lovingly. He was polite and courteous, using gentleness to cover up the unfamiliarity of his actions.
Even Meng Annan, who had no experience in love, knew that this was wrong.
I used to think that Qu Youzhe was a traditional person who was unwilling to get close to others in public. But what about his eyes? Why was there no light in them?
Zhao Xiangwan never tells lies. She said that Qu Youzhe doesn't love her cousin, so he definitely doesn't love her. He doesn't love her, but he is in a hurry to get married. What on earth does he want to do?!
Meng Annan's gaze was too fierce, and Qu Youzhe was a little uneasy. He quickly adjusted his facial expression and smiled gently: "Xiao Zhao, isn't it a bit of an imposition for you to say that? It's not your turn to make a conclusion whether I love Anyi or not."
Zhao Xiangwan also stood up and looked down at the hateful man with a cold light in his eyes: "You know best what kind of person you are. Do you need me to say it out loud in public?"
Gong Anyi's hand was suddenly held by Qu Youzhe. Her heart beat fast and hard. After hearing the conversation between Zhao Xiangwan and Qu Youzhe, her mind was in a mess. What was going on? What did Zhao Xiangwan mean?
When Zhao Xiangwan said this, Qu Youzhe shuddered with fear. He pulled back his hands and rubbed them on his knees. His face turned pale and he pretended to be calm: "I don't know what you are talking about."
He turned his head and looked at Gong Anyi: "I am sincere to you and am willing to trust you with my life. I don't know why you are always suspicious. Since you don't want to, forget it, let's break up..."
Having said that, he was about to leave.
Gong Anyi grabbed his arm, a little bewildered: "Why did you break up?"
What exactly is going on? Gong Anyi is completely confused. It's just a few questions, exposing his perfume, which is nothing. Although she is a little hesitant about the marriage, she has not made up her mind to break up. This time, Qu Youzhe took the initiative to break up, Gong Anyi felt unwilling to accept it, and she must ask for clear information.
The woman's soft hand wrapped around his arm, and Qu Youzhe felt disgusted. He subconsciously waved his hand and pushed Gong Anyi away.
In a split second, Meng Annan made his move.
She punched Qu Youzhe in the face: "How dare you bully my cousin? I'll beat you to death!"
Qu Youzhe was hit in the left eye, and the pain was unbearable. He screamed, covered his eyes, and screamed: "You hit someone? You barbarian, you dare to hit someone!"
The noise was so loud that everyone in the restaurant looked over.
The waiter rushed over and asked: "What's the matter? What can I do for you?"
Zhao Xiangwan waved his hands: "It's okay."
The waiter didn't dare to say anything else and quietly stepped aside, but his eyes were still on this table.
Qu Youzhe was not angry, but he was very nervous. The tougher the other party's attitude was, the more afraid he was. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't go too far!"
Gong Anyi was a smart person. She noticed something was wrong and asked Zhao Xiangwan directly, "What's going on?"
Zhao Xiangwan said coldly: "Cousin Gong, he is cheating on her."
Meng Annan didn't understand: "Why cheat on her? What's wrong with him?"
Zhao Xiangwan whispered three words in her ear.
Meng Annan shuddered, stepped forward and punched Qu Youzhe in the face with two fists: "Shame on you!"
