Chapter 10 Chapter 10 I don’t like that I keep my student ID card…
Too lazy to deal with Li Wenyin, Zhao Qingshi simply went to the next city with his friends and took a boat out to sea for fishing. After receiving Zhao Wen's call, Zhao Qingshi lost interest in fishing, threw away his fishing rod, took off his sunglasses, and lay on the deck.
The bright sun shone on his gloomy face, and his friend beside him suppressed a laugh: "You're getting married soon, why is Young Master Zhao still so depressed?"
Zhao Qingshi was annoyed and kicked Gu Suyan, "Can't you be quiet?"
Gu Suyan shrugged, "Qiu Boyu has set up a game at the villa. Do you want to invite Li Wenyin?"
He sat down. "If you ask me, you should just bear with it for now. Hiding every day is not a big deal. It's just bribery of the people around you. After this incident, she probably won't dare to do it again. Besides, if you leave her alone like this, aren't you afraid that Li Chengan will cause trouble for you?"
Zhao Qingshi was not interested in paying attention to him.
Well, no one paid any attention to him. Gu Suyan pretended to be hurt and suddenly asked, "Who is that girl?"
Zhao Qingshi raised his eyelids: "Want to know?"
"Of course, I've never met anyone who could catch your attention." He was very interested.
Zhao Qingshi replied lazily: "Call me daddy."
"Dad." This "Dad" sounded particularly smooth. Zhao Qingshi sneered, "Good son."
…
Zhao Qingshi took a private plane back to Yitong. As soon as he landed in Yitong, he was stopped by the bodyguards sent by Zhao Wen. Gu Suyan laughed loudly: "Your father is serious, brother, I wish you good luck."
Zhao Qingshi said calmly, "Get lost."
The atmosphere in Guanlan Lake Villa was tense. The Zhao family father and son were on edge. Zhou Xunying was caught in the middle, calmly sipping her tea.
"Qingshi, when did you start dating her?"
"Which one are you talking about?" Zhao Qingshi asked with a smile, not caring about anything serious.
"This girl is the second daughter of the Ruan family, right?" Zhou Xunying had some impression. "Was it the night we had dinner with the Ruan family?"
"That's not right." She came to her senses and asked, "Did she also bite the teeth marks on your wrist?"
The old couple sang in unison, and Zhao Wen concluded: "Are you in love?"
“…”
"Yes, a good relationship has been destroyed by you. Do you feel guilty?" Zhao Qingshi smiled faintly.
Zhao Wen frowned: "Then why didn't you say it at the time." He is definitely not a father who only cares about his own interests. On the contrary, he pays more attention to the happiness of his children. At that time, the two families also had a marriage certificate. If he knew about this situation, he would definitely not agree to marry into the Li family.
"We had a fight, I'm too lazy to talk about it." Zhao Qingshi made up a lie to cover up.
Zhao Wen and Zhao Qingshi weren't close father and son, and he never asked about Zhao Qingshi's personal life. But this time, he was surprisingly concerned: "Do you still like him?"
Zhao Qingshi raised his eyes upon hearing this, a hint of surprise on his face, and sneered, "Why would you keep someone's student ID card if you don't like me?"
"But Wen Yin..." Zhao Wen was embarrassed. Xun Ying saw what he was thinking and suddenly said, "Qingshi, Mom doesn't like the Ruan family's daughter. You should give up this idea."
Zhao Qingshi's expression faded.
"Since it's over, that's the past. Wen Yin is your fiancée, and your wedding is in three days. You can't be so willful and irresponsible."
"Xun Ying, this is a matter of great importance to the child's life, perhaps..."
"What do you want to say?" Xun Ying glanced at him coldly, "You want to say that if you hadn't married into my family back then, you would be living happily with that woman now, loving each other. I am the one who blocked your happiness, right?"
"Xun Ying, it's been so many years since that happened. You know I didn't mean that." Zhao Wen frowned. "Why do you always have to argue with me about these things?"
"Do I really want to argue with you?" Xun Ying said excitedly. "Ask your son yourself if you've fulfilled your responsibilities as a husband and father over the years. If I weren't still sitting here, the group would have been handed over to Zhao Yaozi long ago."
"What does this have to do with Yaozi? Do you really dislike her?" Zhao Wen was really tired. "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. I won't interfere with my son's marriage. You have the final say."
After saying that, Zhao Wen didn't want to stay any longer and went upstairs.
When Xun Ying handed Ruan Xiangyi's student ID to Zhao Qing, she returned to her usual good wife and mother self: "Explain this matter to Wen Yin. She is a good child. Don't let her down."
Zhao Qingshi looked at her indifferently and was silent for a moment: "Mom, don't worry, I won't regret this marriage."
It’s not that I don’t regret it, it’s that I can’t regret it.

Zhao Qingshi took Li Wenyin to the drinking party in Shanzang. As the host, Qiu Boyu came out to greet them personally: "I thought you weren't coming."
Li Wenyin took Zhao Qingshi's arm, smiled sweetly, and handed the gift over: "This is our opening gift, congratulations."
Qiu Boyu took it with a smile: "You're welcome. How about I take you for a walk?"
Qiu Bo acquired this mountain land three years ago, and only in the past two years did he come up with the idea of renovating it. He explained, "I'm planning to set up a mountain bike club on that vacant lot over there. This dirt lot would be a blast to ride on if we develop it."
"I think holding a wedding would be a good idea." Li Wenyin asked Zhao Qingshi, "What do you think?"
"As long as you like it."
Qiu Boyu paused and glanced at Zhao Qingshi: "Sure, there's a large lawn on the other side, but is there still time?"
"It's too late." She expressed a little regret.
Qiu Boyu lamented, "I missed it."
Qiu Boyu took them into the bar. His bar was not like the mixed crowds of people outside. The design inside was like an old historic building. The lighting was very well designed. There was no noisy internet music. Instead, the selected music was some pleasant and presentable piano music.
This is a private villa bar, and you need an invitation to enter. The people here tonight are all young ladies and gentlemen in the circle.
Ruan Lingyu took a cup of pig iron nails and sat in a booth chatting with He Wen. She glanced casually and saw Zhao Qingshi and Li Wenyin walk in.
He Wen looked in the direction he was looking and when he saw Li Wenyin standing next to the man, he curled his lips.
Ruan Lingyu and Li Wenyin knew each other. They used to study in the same international school and were in the same class, but they did not get along.
"I didn't expect it to be your mortal enemy." He Wen teased, "When we were in school, we competed for who was the campus beauty. Now we're grown up, we're competing for fiancé, but we still didn't win."
He opened his mouth and attacked: "Ruan Lingyu, you are really a wimp."
Ruan Lingyu raised her high heels and kicked him.
He Wen felt his legs go numb from being kicked, and he took a deep breath in pain, but he continued to act suicidal: "Gosh, are your shoes suitable for running a marathon? They're so thin, it hurts me to death."
He almost got kicked again, and he quickly ran away.
After Li Wenyin followed Zhao Qingshi to meet his friends, she sat on the sofa to rest. The waiter brought her a few small cakes. Looking at the men toasting each other under the lights not far away, she curled her lips in satisfaction. Women also have vanity, but she has everything. Sometimes she always feels that something is missing. Until she saw Zhao Qingshi, she understood that she lacked a man like him.
"When did you return to China?" Ruan Lingyu sat down without any hesitation. Although they had not seen each other for many years, the intensity of their confrontation had not diminished at all.
"Do I need to report to you?"
"Did your parents teach you how to be a good person?" Ruan Lingyu smiled.
"What do you want to say?" Li Wenyin finally raised her eyes and looked at her.
"Zhao Qingshi was originally my fiancé." Ruan Lingyu gritted her teeth when she mentioned this.
Li Wenyin was stunned for a moment. Her expression seemed as if she really didn't know. Then she smiled with relief, took a sip of wine and looked back at Zhao Qingshi, her eyes immersed. "So you asked your sister to seduce him?"
"My sister?" Ruan Lingyu suspected she was joking. "Have you met her?"
Ruan Xiangyi does not participate in these activities, and almost no one in the circle knows that she has a stepsister.
"Just continue sitting here." It was all in the past. She didn't like dwelling on the past. Li Wenyin raised her eyes and smiled, full of pride. "I'm going to go find my fiancé."
He took two steps and came back, looking as if he had just remembered something: "Our wedding is in three days, remember to come and watch the ceremony, there is no fee for gifts."
If the people present were not all acquaintances in the circle, Ruan Lingyu really wanted to pour the wine in her hand on her face.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
After calming down, she began to review what Li Wenyin had said. She seemed to have met Ruan Xiangyi and said that Ruan Xiangyi seduced Zhao Qingshi? Was she really not dreaming? How dare Ruan Xiangyi, that coward, take the initiative to seduce Zhao Qingshi?
Meanwhile, Gu Suyan teased Zhao Qingshi countless times that evening, saying to Qiu Boyu, "You didn't see how he was stopped by bodyguards at the airport yesterday. It makes me laugh to death just thinking about it now."
Qiu Boyu shook his head and put his hand on Zhao Qingshi's shoulder: "I think Miss Li is really sincere, so just give in."
"What if he doesn't obey?" Gu Suyan continued to laugh.
Zhao Qingshi curled his lips slightly and said, "Ayan, I heard that the piece of land you bid for has come to me."
Gu Suyan immediately put on a flattering face and said, "Brother, I was wrong. I wish you a happy wedding in advance."
The taste of tequila rolled up his throat. Zhao Qingshi pondered for a few seconds and said with a smile, "Even if there is no Li Wenyin, there will be Wang Wenyin and Bai Wenyin. It doesn't matter who I marry."
For a century-old family business like theirs, they are destined from birth to have no choice in marriage, and their marriage is nothing more than an embellishment of interests.
The two of them were silent for a moment by his words. Finally, Qiu Boyu disagreed, "This is a self-destructive choice. We were born into a pyramid. Money is just an embellishment for us. Whatever we want can be easily obtained. Besides, it's just a marriage. I won't compromise. I want to find a girl I like, regardless of background or family background. I have the ability to support her, not the inability to compromise with my family."
Zhao Qingshi raised his glass and said, "This is also an option. I wish you success."
Zhao Qingshi left the inner court and came out to the swimming pool. There was a barbecue grill by the pool and a few people gathered nearby. Zhao Qingshi sat down and planned to smoke a cigarette to suppress the pungent smell of the white orchid. Just as he took out the cigarette box, he heard a group of people next to him starting to make a fuss. He put the cigarette to his lips and heard the name "Ruan Xiangyi" the next second.
He Wen had been offended by Ruan Xiangyi for the past two days and was very angry. When a man is offended by a woman, he will start to slander her with dirty words.
"You haven't seen this girl before. She's very stubborn. I tried to be her driver out of kindness, but she didn't want me."
"Is it that they don't like you at all? Hahaha."
He Wen was ridiculed, which aroused his competitive spirit: "Bullshit! I don't even like her. She is nothing, a stepdaughter of nothing. Why is she pretending to be noble? She has nothing to show for it except her face."
"Do you think I'm sincere? You're overthinking it. I just want to play with her. I've never played with such a pure girl before." He Wen continued to brag after getting drunk, not noticing when someone stood behind him. "Her mother actually likes me. I heard from Ruan Lingyu that her mother wants to recruit me as her son-in-law. Son-in-law? It seems that she is not impossible..."
Before he could pronounce the last line, he was suddenly kicked into the swimming pool. He was kicked off the chair and rolled on the grass before falling in. He drank half a mouthful of water and stood up from the pool. His mind instantly cleared and he cursed loudly: "Which blind bastard kicked me!"
Soon, a group of people gathered by the swimming pool, and the people inside heard the noise and came out to watch the fun.
Zhao Qingshi squatted down slowly by the pool, staring down at He Wen, and asked softly, "I kicked him, do you have any objections?"
His tone was very gentle, and it was hard to tell what he disliked about He Wen.
He Wen didn't dare to provoke Zhao Qingshi. In today's situation, few people could afford to provoke him. He wiped his face and said, "Boss Zhao, did you misunderstand something?"
Zhao Qingshi smiled calmly and naturally: "There is no misunderstanding, I kicked you."
He Wen smiled bitterly: "Why?" He didn't remember offending this person...
Zhao Qingshi's smile gradually faded, and then his expression turned cold, and he stared at him sharply: "If I hear you gossiping about Ruan Xiangyi behind her back again, it won't be as simple as just entering the swimming pool."
He Wen was stunned...
A series of thoughts flashed through my mind quickly: I rely on you, I rely on you, I rely on you, I rely on you, I rely on you...
Was he talking about Ruan Xiangyi? Ruan Xiangyi? Why did he know Ruan Xiangyi? Was the person he was protecting Ruan Xiangyi?
Oh shit!
Zhao Qingshi frowned: "Did you hear that?"
He Wen nodded quickly: "I heard it, I heard it, I promise."
Zhao Qingshi left the pool. Ruan Lingyu squeezed through the crowd and came to the edge of the pool. She squatted down and asked gloatingly, "Hey, Master He is taking a bath? How did you offend him?"
"You fucking have to pull me up first!" He Wen yelled at her.
Ruan Lingyu resisted the urge to kick him back and said proudly, "If you are so capable, come up by yourself." After that, she walked away in her high heels, ignoring him.
Gu Suyan heard that Zhao Qingshi had kicked someone into the swimming pool, so he went to find the person involved and asked, "What did that person do to make you so angry?"
Zhao Qingshi's anger hadn't dissipated yet, and a low pressure surrounded him. He took the car keys and said, "Some of what I said doesn't make me happy, so I'll just kick you. Tell Boyu that I have something to do and I'm leaving first."
"Hey, Wen Yin..." he called him.
Zhao Qingshi turned a deaf ear to it.
