Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Fight
Someone noticed a scratch on the back of his hand and asked, "Is Mr. Zhao's hand okay? It looks like something scratched it."
There were two shallow scratches on the back of his hand. Zhao Qingshi raised his hand and smiled meaningfully: "There's a cat at home that's not very obedient."
They said, "Disobedient animals must be dealt with."
Deal with it? Dream on.
"No, my wife is very precious."
"Then there's no need to let it catch people."
"I'd love to."
No one said anything now, and everyone left in a huff. Normally, Zhao Qingshi would be the center of attention at such events, with other partners bringing their daughters to help connect him. However, since his marriage, he rarely attended private banquets unless he couldn't refuse.
He turned around and was about to leave the main venue, but suddenly saw someone and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Instead of meeting Ruan Xiangyi's love rival, I met my own love rival?
Not broken up yet? he thought.
He Manqi wore a strapless black sequined dress, draped with a silk scarf, and her tassel earrings swayed with her steps, dazzling the eyes. Next to her was Shen Huaimeng. In just two months, he looked much less like a poor student.
"What a coincidence." He Manqi raised the champagne in one hand and smiled at him. Seeing that he had no female companion, she asked, "Mrs. Zhao didn't come with you today?"
Zhao Qingshi glanced at the man beside him calmly, curled his lips and said, "She doesn't like this kind of occasion."
He Manqi said "oh". She didn't care whether Ruan Xiangyi came or not. She just wanted Shen Huaimeng to hear with his own ears that Ruan Xiangyi had already married, so there was no need to think about it.
After Zhao Qingshi spent the 120 million, who now doesn't know that Zhao Qingshi dotes on his wife to death? Before this, who had ever heard that the Ruan family had a second daughter named Ruan Xiangyi? She thought of his reaction when she mentioned this to Shen Huaimeng that day. He was shocked. In addition to disbelief, there was also a hint of regret.
What to regret?
Regret knowing it too late, she thought. Today she would help him know that Ruan Xiangyi had left him long ago.
"Did she really marry you?" Shen Huaimeng spoke at this time, and the expression on his face was also very interesting. Regret? Of course, there was, but more of it was worry. What right did he have to worry? Zhao Qingshi was not very satisfied. "Do you want me to call her? She just asked me when I would be back."
"No need." Shen Huaimeng shook his head and took a step forward. "Can I borrow your time to talk to you?"
Zhao Qingshi raised his eyebrows.
Leaving the main venue and coming to the corridor outside, Zhao Qingshi smiled and said, "Mr. Shen and Miss He seem to have a good relationship."
Shen Huaimeng was speechless.
"A few months ago, Aunt Lin told me Xiangyi was getting married and told me not to have any wishful thinking. At that time, the person she was going to marry was you, right?"
Zhao Qingshi raised his eyebrows. "Of course." This time, before he could even open his mouth, a flurry of punches struck him in the face. The fist landed on the corner of his mouth, tilting his face to the side.
Zhao Qingshi, who usually dresses neatly and meticulously, immediately had a look of disappointment on his face.
Zhao Qingshi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and fought back without any hesitation.
Shen Huaimeng's cheekbone was bruised, but he didn't care at all. He stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Qingshi's collar: "You forced her to do this, right? Otherwise, why would she be willing to marry you? She hasn't even graduated from college, how could you have the heart to do this to her!"
Zhao Qingshi grabbed his tie and pushed him against the wall, his arm around his neck. "Then what qualifications do you have to say such things to me?"
"I'm not qualified, but at least I won't hurt her! I won't force her to do anything she doesn't like!"
"Haven't you hurt her enough?" Zhao Qingshi sneered, thinking of the love letters locked in the cabinet. Although she said that they were excerpted from the Internet, it just happened that those words also expressed her mood at the time. How jealous, but she didn't cherish it at all. I really don't know who gave him the courage to say such things.
Zhao Qingshi had practiced fighting, and Shen Huaimeng, who was well-mannered and spent all day in the library, was no match for him and soon fell behind.
"The thing I regret most is listening to her mother. Her mother despised my identity and told me not to get close to her. Do you know how sad I was when I rejected her? You are just luckier than me, aren't you? If you were in the same situation as me, would you still have everything you have today?"
Shen Huaimeng looked depressed. Now he was no longer the same person as before, but he lacked a lot of vitality. He had lost the most important thing.
Zhao Qingshi let go of him, looked into his gradually vacant eyes, and sneered, "This is the difference between you and me. I will never hurt her because of someone else's one-sided words. You said you were helpless, but you didn't seem helpless when you chose He Man."
"Are you still thinking that if she hadn't married me or been with someone else, a silly girl like her would definitely still be waiting for you obediently right here, waiting for you to achieve success and fame, waiting for you to finally let go of your so-called pride?" Zhao Qingshi flexed his wrist and sneered, "What are you thinking? How could such a good thing happen? Even if I, Zhao Qingshi, weren't around, do you think she would be short of good men? Where did you get the confidence to keep her waiting for you? You must have been stupid from studying."
"No, she wouldn't. You must have forced her to marry you. You don't know how much she loves me." Shen Huaimeng fell into his own thoughts and murmured, "You will never understand her full love. How could she change her heart and fall in love with someone else in such a short time? She is not that kind of person!"
Zhao Qingshi's eyes were devoid of warmth, like looking at a pile of garbage, filled with disgust. He wasn't angry, but distressed. Who had misled Ruan Xiangyi to set her sights on such a man? She felt no guilt, only pride. Was it a particularly proud thing to show off how much she loved him in front of another man? In his opinion, this was the most foolish and inconsiderate behavior towards the woman.
"If I were you, I'd know better and leave now." His face was gloomy, and he suppressed anger in his chest. "You say this just to make me back off, but you've never considered her. If her situation is really as difficult as you think, will what you said cause her any trouble?"
At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang. Zhao Qingshi took a look and saw the caller's name. His cold eyes finally warmed up a little. He walked to the side and a gentle voice sounded: "Hmm?"
Ruan Xiangyi asked him on the phone when he would be back and if he could bring her some fruit when he came back.
Chen Huaimeng looked over. The man who had been so domineering just a moment ago now showed tenderness and affection just from his back. He heard him ask patiently. "Just grapes? How about strawberries? I remember you said you wanted grapefruit last time. Do you want some today? Are the cherries in the fridge almost gone? Okay, I'll bring them all back for you. You can pick them yourself. I might be a little while longer. If you're sleepy, go to bed first. Don't wait for me."
After the call, Zhao Qingshi touched the wound at the corner of his mouth, which was still quite painful. He was thinking about how to explain it. He turned around and found Shen Huaimeng staring at him.
There was no need to continue the conversation. Zhao Qingshi passed by him and gave him a final piece of advice: "She did love you back then, but now she has a new life. You should bless her. She will definitely be happy. She once told me that although some people can't be lovers, their friendship is deeper than love."
"In two days, you will receive a courier. Remember to check it then." After saying that, Zhao Qingshi left the corridor.
There was no heating in the corridor, and even though the cold wind couldn't blow in through the glass, Shen Huaimeng felt cold all over.
Zhao Qingshi left the venue directly. When he passed by a pharmacy, he went in and bought a bottle of medical alcohol and a Band-Aid. After putting it on, he found it too ugly and took it off, looking left and right in the rearview mirror.
How to say it?
