Facing Jin Chuan's aggressiveness, Xue Weidong's attitude was calm.
He looked around and said with a smile, "Have you been waiting for a long time? We are all in the laboratory to serve Professor Jin. What is there to fight for? This is a bit funny."
Xue Weidong seemed to have grown a lot, and was no longer the young man who used to sweep the floor in the research institute timidly.
Following his orders, everyone started to move. Under the shock of Jin Chuan's gloomy face, only some people who came from Heilongjiang Province did not move. This realization gave Jin Chuan a headache. What was even more speechless was that he seemed to have never understood Xue Weidong.
Because of poverty, he instead formed a group with those who had climbed up from the bottom of society.
This is not a good thing.
Jin Chuan, who had always been careless about experiments, made a rare effort and took this experiment seriously. This matter concerned the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in Ning County. The people above attached great importance to it and hoped that these professors who were supplied with grain could research out good things. Even the Agricultural Bureau gave them special treatment.
After get off work, there was a dinner party with the Agriculture Bureau. As usual, Jin Chuan disdained to go to such places. His high profile made him not want to deal with these people at all. Perhaps stimulated by Xue Weidong, Jin Chuan went along this time, contrary to his usual behavior.
Seeing Xue Weidong and that group of people being so close to each other, and seeing those people being respectful to him on the surface but despising him in secret, Jin Chuan's depression seemed to condense into a ball in his chest.
He truly felt that he was completely fooled by Xue Weidong. After dinner, it was an unwritten rule that Xue Weidong would take the drunk Jin Chuan home. Xue Weidong was a flexible man. Even though he had just had a fight with Jin Chuan in the research institute during the day, he could still put his arm around the other's shoulders and take him home without changing his expression.
But Jin Chuan no longer had the mood to travel with him.
Xue Weidong was the first one who dared to stab his friend in the back!
Jin Chuan raised his hand and punched him hard in the face without showing any mercy.
"Xue Weidong, don't you ever forget who helped you when you were poor and helpless!"
Xue Weidong wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, his eyes flickering: "Of course I dare not forget."
"That's how you repay me!" The other party's frank attitude made Jin Chuan even more furious. He couldn't bear it any longer and grabbed Xue Weidong by the collar and started beating him. The other party didn't even fight back.
To be fair, apart from plagiarizing his work, Jin Chuan treated him very well in every aspect. He would even bring him things when he went on business trips. Sometimes Xue Weidong was even treated a little better than Gao Jianshe. However, all his efforts were rewarded with an ungrateful person. Jin Chuan was so angry that his eyes turned red.
His emotions were on the verge of collapse. He attacked Xue Weidong without hesitation, and said viciously: "Okay! Okay! How dare you step on me, Jin Chuan, to climb up! Then I will let you know what it feels like to fall from a high place! I underestimated you. You actually won over so many people. You are really a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
Facing Jin Chuan's fierce eyes, Xue Weidong added fearlessly: "Sorry, water flows to the low places, people go to the high places, this is my choice."
"I'm going to kill you, you bastard! Without me, Jin Chuan, who do you think you are?" Feeling fooled, Jin Chuan kicked him hard. Xue Weidong couldn't dodge in time and was kicked out. He struggled for a while before getting up. The look in his eyes when he looked at Jin Chuan had obviously changed.
He became cautious, as if considering whether to fight back. Otherwise, if he let Jin Chuan continue to beat him like this, he would die here sooner or later. Just when the atmosphere was tense, Jiang Xiaofei, who was preparing to pick up her boyfriend, arrived at the scene. She saw the wounds on Xue Weidong's face and the footprints on his clothes at a glance.
Look at Jin Chuan again, he is firing on all cylinders.
Jiang Xiaofei's eyes widened in an instant. She stood in front of Xue Weidong and said angrily, "Jin Chuan, how can you bully others like that?! Xue Weidong is my boyfriend, and he will be the son-in-law of the Jiang family in the future. As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog! You try to touch him again?! I'm really angry!"
Feeling the agitation of the person behind her, Jiang Xiaofei whispered to comfort him: "Be good, I didn't mean to say you are a dog, but you must scare that dog thing!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaofei coming, Jin Chuan regained some of his sanity. The intimacy between the two people and Jiang Xiaofei's preference for him seemed even more ironic to Jin Chuan. Even though he knew it might hurt Jiang Xiaofei, he still said it regardless.
"Xiao Fei, you are so naive. Can't you see through this poor boy's tricks? He can backstab me today and you tomorrow. Trying to please us is just a way for him to climb up the social ladder."
"What backstabbing? Isn't Weidong good enough to you? He works overtime all day long..."
"..."
Jin Chuan took a deep breath and chose to tell the truth: "He dated you just to please me."
"Jin Chuan, did you eat mushrooms?"
"Jiang Xiaofei, don't pretend you don't understand. In order to please Su Niannian, I took every shortcut, including asking Xue Weidong to be friends with you. He should have pursued Shen Luo, which would have been easier.
But this guy is very ambitious and chose you. I know all the details of your love. I taught him a lot of things. He will do anything to climb up. When he reaches a high position, I'm afraid he will abandon you at the first moment. Do you really dare to like such a person?"
Jiang Xiaofei's expression was stiff for a moment. She wanted to question Xue Weidong, but she felt like she had fallen into Jin Chuan's trap. This man had been more active than most people since he was in school. She pinched her fingertips into her palm and said with a forced smile, "Look at what you said. Can I be deceived by love? Love is voluntary and there is no regret after it is over. I understand, but these are not reasons for you to bully him, Jin Chuan, restrain yourself."
"Fool." With Jiang Xiaofei around, Jin Chuan could no longer take action.
But the other party's stubbornness was also quite a headache. Jin Chuan stared at Xue Weidong coldly, then turned and left. Xue Weidong felt the pain in his body belatedly. He subconsciously tried to hold Jiang Xiaofei's hand, but the latter dodged him.
The panic that came at that moment made Xue Weidong's voice tremble slightly: "Xiao Fei..."
"Is what Jin Chuan said true?"
Seeing that Xue Weidong didn't answer for a long time, Jiang Xiaofei said to herself: "As long as you explain, I will believe you."
Although Jiang Xiaofei is in love, she has her own pride. Xue Weidong has a hunch that if he admits that what happened back then was premeditated to cover up the true purpose of him and Su Niannian, Jiang Xiaofei will definitely be angry. The breakup that he had originally expected has now become the word that Xue Weidong is most reluctant to say.
He lied again: "He wants me to be with Shen Luo, but love is something that can never be controlled. Xiaofei, I have you in my heart, and I only want to give you the best..."
