Chapter 805 There's No Repentance
As soon as she finished speaking, the fork she threw flew directly into Xu Chen's face. The sharp edge of the fork grazed his handsome face. Although it didn't draw blood, the edge of the fork grazed his face hard enough to break the skin.
The moment the fork struck his face, Xu Chen's expression darkened considerably: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, I only asked a few questions, and your wife is already this agitated? Is this how you treat your guests?!"
Their way of hospitality is to throw forks at the guests' faces.
Moreover, even if he fell in love with Wen Qingyi, that was between him and Nan Chu. Why should she, an outsider, get angry here?
"Xu Chen, stop trying to divert attention." Bo Jinyan had seen their conflict clearly: "If you hadn't come over early this morning to question Xiao Ruo, how could Xiao Ruo have acted so drastically?"
It all started because of him.
How dare they turn the tables on him here?
Do you really think he's blind and can't see anything?
Xu Chen, however, didn't think he had done anything wrong: "So, she threw a fork at my face, and that was my fault? Cousin, in my heart you've always been the epitome of rationality and clarity. When did you become so unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
"Alright, have you had enough?" Bo Jinyan was too lazy to argue with him any longer and said impatiently, "Xiao Ruo has already answered your question. How much longer are you going to keep bothering us here? If you're so capable, go find Gong Lian directly! What's the use of coming to us?"
He already knew Wen Qingyi was with Gong Lian, so why didn't he go to find Gong Lian instead of Xiao Ruo?
Is Xiao Ruo easy to bully?
Xu Chen fell silent instantly, but the look in his eyes clearly showed that he didn't want to leave.
"Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll have my bodyguards take you away!" Bo Jinyan finally gave the order to leave, his eyes revealing a hint of impatience, clearly showing that he had no patience left.
Xu Chen could tell that if he didn't leave soon, his cousin would kick him out, so he quickly and sheepishly left.
After he left, Sang Ruo lost her appetite for breakfast and prepared to get up and go to work at the studio.
"Xiao Ruo, what exactly did you say to Gong Lian in the ward that day? Why did his attitude change so drastically?" Bo Jinyan suddenly asked.
His words successfully made Sang Ruo stop in her tracks: "I just wanted to discourage him that day, who knew he would actually take it seriously?"
What she said in the hospital room that day was simply that she didn't want him to continue bothering her like this. She wanted him to stay with Wen Qingyi so that he would change his mind about Wen Qingyi and she wouldn't have to be bothered by him anymore.
Who would have thought that Gong Lian would actually get together with Wen Qingyi so quickly?
"So you threatened Gong Lian, making him continue to be with Wen Qingyi, in exchange for the right to stay by your side?" Bo Jinyan thought of the day he saw Gong Lian leaving outside the ward: "How could he not take it seriously when you said that?"
If it were him, he would have taken it seriously too.
Because compared to losing, burying one's head in the sand and putting on an act are clearly more suitable for him.
Sang Ruo slowly turned around and stared at him intently: "So, all of this is my fault? I made a wrong move?"
She was so annoyed by Gong Lian's harassment that she said those words in a fit of anger, but she didn't expect Gong Lian to be so efficient.
He actually got back together with Wen Qingyi.
“I didn’t say it was your fault, but I think you shouldn’t interfere in their affairs.” Bo Jinyan sighed. “After all, it was Gong Lian’s own choice, and we have no right to interfere.”
As a result, her actions were not only easily discovered, but also easily misunderstood.
That's a bit too presumptuous.
Sang Ruo also regretted her impulsive actions at the time: "I realized the problem later, but it was too late. Gong Lian had already gotten back together with Wen Qingyi. What could I do?"
There are all kinds of medicines available for sale in this world, but there's no medicine for regret.
She also regretted it.
But what's done is done, and it's too late to say anything now.
"Alright, Xiaoruo, I'm not blaming you. I'm just advising you not to say things you shouldn't." Bo Jinyan knew that she hadn't meant to do it, so he couldn't be too harsh on her.
The only hope is that this reunion between Gong Lian and Wen Qingyi will not turn them into opposing forces again.
Otherwise, the situation will revert to what it was before.
...
On the other side, at the Gong family villa.
Gong Lian was working in his study upstairs when the butler suddenly knocked on his door: "Butler, what is it?"
"Mr. Gong, there is a Mr. Xu outside who wants to see you." The butler said to him respectfully, "Mr. Gong, would you like to see him?"
Is your surname Xu?
This surname successfully made Gong Lian look up from a pile of documents: "Surname Xu? Xu Chen?"
"Mr. Gong, do you know him?"
The butler was surprised by his acquaintance and was about to speak when he heard Gong Lian's calm voice: "Let him in."
"yes."
As the butler brought Xu Chen in from downstairs, Gong Lian followed closely behind.
As soon as Xu Chen entered the room, he rushed up to Gong Lian and demanded, "Gong Lian, where is Qingyi? Where is Qingyi? Did you hide her?"
Qingyi?
"If you care about her so much, why don't you go find her?" Gong Lian glanced at him indifferently, his tone flat: "What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen became even more certain that he was the one who hid Wen Qingyi: "I came here because I was looking for Qingyi. After all, you're her fiancé, aren't you? Who else would I look for if not you?"
“You’re wrong. I’m her ex-fiancé,” Gong Lian emphasized, his eyes fixed on him. “We’ve broken off our engagement and have no connection whatsoever. You can’t assume I’m hiding her just because I dated Wen Qingyi in the past. Why don’t you go find Bo Jinyan?”
"Maybe he's the one who hid Wen Qingyi?"
Xu Chen couldn't help but sneer: "Don't try to fool me. I just came from Bo Jinyan's place. There's no trace of Qingyi there. I've been looking for her for half a month, and I still can't find her. Who else could it be but you?!"
Moreover, Qingyi had already called him privately to explain that she was at the Gong family's house, yet Gong Lian still tried to shift the blame to his cousin.
Do you really think he's blind? Can't he see anything?
"So what do you want with Wen Qingyi?" Gong Lian accused him, neither admitting nor denying, maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface: "You can't just come looking for someone for no reason, can you? There has to be a reason, right?"
He's always the kind of guy who only shows up when he needs something, so I wonder if Xu Chen is that type of man too.
