Chapter 85 Never to be seen again in this life
It has to be said that Hao Kexuan's timing was really good.
It was lunchtime, and a group of young and beautiful girls in sportswear were standing at the Pei family's door, calling out to them, which attracted a lot of attention.
Many people, disregarding the fact that they might be frozen by Pei Jiuyan's "ice block," rushed over with their lunchboxes and bowls in hand.
Even the boldest sister-in-law ran over like a thief and asked, "What's wrong? What happened? What happened?"
Fortunately, although the athletes in the sports team were all lively and cheerful girls, they were not without cunning. They knew that if this matter were to be told, it would only affect Hao Ke's reputation, so no one answered and just kept knocking on the door.
Hearing the increasing noise outside, even the most timid Chi Donglin dared not remain a coward any longer. This was Pei Jiuyan's house; if he caused a conflict between Qin Suisui and Pei Jiuyan, the brothers would probably be unable to remain friends.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out, intending to bring Hao Ke in.
But Hao Ke was crying and looked panicked, not knowing what to do. The short-haired girl from before volunteered to stay with her.
With too many onlookers, Chi Donglin didn't want to argue further and could only nod in agreement.
Before leaving, the other athletes shouted to Hao Ke, "Ke Ke, don't be afraid! If you can't reach an agreement, come back to us. We'll back you up!"
Hearing this, Qin Suisui in the courtyard couldn't help but laugh. Hao Ke had clearly taken the straightforward and masculine route in Beijing before, so how did he become a charming and innocent girl on Qiongtan Island? He really switched roles with ease.
Pei Jiuyan glanced at Qin Suisui, who was sneering, and felt a little nervous: "Wife, this has nothing to do with me. After Yunlai and I parted ways with you this morning, we found Donglin at Hao Ke's rented house and quickly brought him back. We didn't do anything else!"
Qin Suisui glared at him, but before she could speak, she heard the short-haired girl's surprised voice: "Commander Pei, what are you doing here?"
Pei Jiuyan's face instantly turned icy again, and he nodded coldly: "This is my home."
Qin Suisui looked over and saw that the previously tense expression on her face had suddenly turned into a shy one: "So this is Commander Pei's house. We thought..."
After speaking, he suddenly noticed Qin Suisui standing next to Pei Jiuyan and remembered what she had said outside. His expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Ahem, Comrade Song Ye, let's get down to business first." Seeing that the situation was not right, Song Yunlai immediately changed the subject.
The short-haired girl's name is Song Ye. She is the captain of the track and field team of the provincial sports team. The military region and the sports team had previously held a joint event, so they knew each other.
Song Ye glanced at Hao Ke, who was still crying beside him, and knew what the purpose of their visit was. He went straight to the point: "You, as his good brothers, must know about the matter between Comrade Chi Donglin and our Ke Ke. Even though they are childhood sweethearts, something like this has happened."
She blushed slightly at this point, but still forced herself to continue: "In short, it's cowardly to do something and not take responsibility. Coco doesn't have any friends here, so our track and field team will definitely stand up for her. What should we do about this? You guys need to come up with a plan."
"You can't say that. What do you mean by 'daring to do it but not daring to admit it'? We from Donglin also said that he passed out after drinking some alcohol last night. How can someone who is unconscious do anything? So what you're thinking definitely didn't happen!"
Song Yunlai was so eager to defend his good brother that he didn't care about the girls present.
Song Ye coughed, and Qin Suisui choked for a moment.
Song Yunlai didn't notice at all, he was only focused on comforting Hao Ke who was crying with her head down: "Ke Ke, we grew up together wearing open-crotch pants. Let alone sleeping in the same place, we've even slept in the same bed together. If you make a big fuss now, it won't do you or Dong Lin any good."
Hao Ke remained unmoved by Song Yunlai's words, only covering her face and crying.
Song Ye grew anxious: "Comrade Song Yunlai, that's not how it works. You just said it was something that happened when you were little. You're all grown up now, how can you still do that? Besides, our Coco said that her clothes are all..."
"I swear I didn't do anything!" Chi Donglin quickly denied.
Hearing his rebuttal, Hao Ke looked at him in disbelief, her eyes filled with hurt: "Ugh, Donglin, what do you mean? Are you saying I orchestrated this all along?"
Chi Donglin had a headache; the tug-of-war between morality and emotion was causing him immense pain. Before he lost consciousness, he hadn't done anything, but after losing consciousness... he probably couldn't do anything either, right? He wasn't stupid; if he admitted to this, it would become a stain on his reputation for the rest of his life.
The two sides were deadlocked. Qin Suisui held up a bottle of medicine in her hand, weighing it up and down, and broke the silence: "Actually, it's very simple to know whether something happened or not. I have a medicine here that can be used for physical examination. Just put a drop of this medicine in water, and have Comrade Hao Ke draw a little blood from her fingertip, and you'll know immediately. This is a good thing that I got from that professor in Changbai Mountain last time. It's a new drug that their research group just developed. Comrade Hao Ke, don't be afraid, I'm here to give you justice..."
After she finished speaking, she dripped a drop of golden liquid from the medicine bottle into a bowl of water, then took a small knife and walked towards Hao Ke with a sinister smile.
Hao Ke was so frightened that she forgot to cry. She immediately jumped up from her chair and hid behind Song Ye: "I don't want to, I don't want to be bled, take it away, take it away!"
Qin Suisui patiently reassured her, "It won't hurt, it'll only take a drop of blood, it'll be over soon."
Hao Ke finally burst into tears. She looked at Chi Donglin and said, "Brother Donglin, if you don't want to marry me, fine, but why humiliate me like this? I... I might as well die!"
Her intense reaction precisely demonstrates that nothing actually happened last night. No one present was a fool, and they didn't react to Hao Ke's threats of suicide.
Only Qin Suisui added coldly, "Even if you're dead, as long as your body hasn't stiffened, you can still be examined."
Hao Ke was furious: "Qin Suisui, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me? Actually, you didn't like me from the first moment you met me, and you didn't want to be friends with me, did you?"
Qin Suisui nodded: "I thought my dislike for you was obvious, but I didn't expect you to be so blind."
Hao Ke stomped her feet, about to cover her face and cry again, when Qin Suisui brandished a small knife in front of her: "If you keep crying at my house, I'll hold a funeral for you!"
Hao Ke really couldn't stay here anymore. After stomping his feet, covering his face, and crying his heart out, he said, "Brother Donglin, I understand what you mean. Let's pretend yesterday's events never happened. We... will never see each other again in this life." Then he turned and ran away.
This sob story seemed to work particularly well on Chi Donglin. As soon as Hao Ke ran away, Chi Donglin immediately got up and chased after her.
Song Ye was also anxious to catch up with Hao Ke, but before leaving, she couldn't help but rebuke Qin Suisui: "Comrade Qin, right? You're a woman too. Now that Ke Ke is in this situation, how come you have no sympathy at all?"
Qin Suisui turned the knife towards her: "Would you have any sympathy for someone who wants to steal your man? You like Pei Jiuyan, don't you? Coincidentally, Hao Ke also liked Pei Jiuyan before, and even tried to force me to divorce my wife so she could have him."
Don't think she didn't see it. When Song Ye came in, she saw the shyness on Pei Jiuyan's face and the joy in her eyes. We're all women, what couldn't she see?
She had heard the women in the compound talk about it before. Half of the girls in the military arts troupe were Pei Jiuyan's "guests" and the other half were Song Yunlai's "moon worshippers." One was like a flower on a high mountain, untouchable, while the other was like the sun shining brightly all over the world. There were also some girls who were captivated by Chi Donglin's humor and wit, but in the end, most young girls still valued looks more.
Looking back now, Song Ye was also Pei Jiuyan's "inner circle." I really didn't expect that Pei Jiuyan's charm would extend to the sports team.
Song Ye hadn't expected Qin Suisui to be so blunt. Her face flushed red and then pale, but the amount of information in Qin Suisui's words was overwhelming, and Song Ye felt her mind go blank. What did she mean by Hao Ke also liking Pei Jiuyan? What did she mean by Hao Ke trying to force her to divorce her husband and make way for her? Wasn't Hao Ke dating Chi Donglin? Wait, so she was Pei Jiuyan's lover...
Seeing Qin Suisui begin her indiscriminate attacks, Pei Jiuyan realized that his wife was angry.
He quickly gave Song Yunlai a wink, and Song Yunlai immediately understood. He walked up to Song Ye and said, "Comrade Song Ye, Hao Ke and the others have all left. Let's go out and take a look, so they don't start any more arguments."
Song Ye snapped out of his daze, nodded immediately, glanced at Pei Jiuyan, and then quickly followed Song Yunlai out.
Pei Jiuyan stepped forward with a pounding heart and took the small knife from Qin Suisui's hand: "Wife, come on, give me the knife. What are you doing playing with a knife, you little kid?"
Qin Suisui held the knife in her hand, waving it left and right: "Commander Pei is really charming. Even the girls from the sports team next door are infatuated with you."
Pei Jiuyan immediately raised his hands and swore, "Wife, I swear, apart from the social gathering I went to with my work unit, I have never seen that woman alone! I don't even know her name!"
"Oh? A social gathering? I didn't know your unit had so many activities. I wonder how many times Commander Pei has participated?"
Pei Jiuyan felt like he had shot himself in the foot. Why did he bring this up in the first place?
He didn't lower his hand as he swore: "Only that one time, Commander Jia gave me a military order to go, and I left in less than ten minutes!"
In fact, the reason that social gathering was successful was because they had Pei Jiuyan and Song Yunlai on their side; otherwise, other organizations would not have been willing to have a social gathering with this group of dark-skinned, rough-around-the-edges guys.
Qin Suisui naturally knew that Pei Jiuyan was single before she arrived. The talk of a childhood betrothal between the two families was merely a verbal agreement, which could be voided at any time. Pei Jiuyan's honest explanation, coupled with Song Ye's unmoved expression today, suggested he genuinely didn't remember her.
Seeing that his wife's expression softened, Pei Jiuyan was about to take the knife again, but Qin Suisui was like an eel. She twisted her body out of his arms and slid out. With a flick of her arm, the small knife in her hand flew out and accurately stuck into the ground.
Pei Jiuyan was startled, just as Qin Suisui parted her red lips slightly: "What do you think of choosing this piece of land?"
