Chapter 573 Send You Back
She sat up and said, "Get up and wash up. I'll make breakfast."
At the dining table, the two of them ate breakfast quietly, but the atmosphere was no longer as cold as before, but a rare warmth.
"I'm going to the studio today." Ji Wan finished the last sip of milk and wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"I'll take you there." Chi Wenyan stood up and took her bag and his car keys naturally. "It's just on our way."
Ji Wan glanced at him and didn't refuse.
"good."
The car stopped smoothly downstairs of the studio.
As soon as Ji Wan unbuckled his seat belt, he saw a familiar figure standing at the door, looking around anxiously.
"Feng Lou?"
She pushed open the car door and got out. "Why are you here?"
When Feng Lou saw her, a gentle smile appeared on his face and he walked over quickly.
"Xiao Wan, I have something I want to talk to you about..."
Before he could finish his words, the driver's door opened.
Chi Wenyan got out of the car, and when his eyes fell on Feng Lou's face, his originally gentle expression instantly froze into ice.
It was a poisonous coldness, carrying with it undisguised scrutiny and hostility.
Feng Lou also noticed him, the smile on his face froze slightly, and he looked at Ji Wan with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Who is this?"
Chi Wenyan didn't wait for Ji Wan to introduce himself. He took a step forward with his long legs and stood directly in front of Ji Wan.
He was very tall, and a strong sense of oppression instantly enveloped Feng Lou.
"Feng Lou."
Chi Wenyan opened his mouth and pronounced the name. His tone was devoid of warmth but full of sarcasm.
Ji Wan was stunned.
Do they know each other?
Feng Lou's expression changed. He forced himself to remain calm and asked, "Do we know each other?"
"Heh." Chi Wenyan pulled the corner of his mouth, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"You don't know me, but I know you."
He took a step forward, his eyes like knives, cutting into Feng Lou's heart with every word he spoke.
"After all, we share half the same, dirty blood."
With a loud bang.
Ji Wan’s mind exploded.
She looked at the two men facing each other in disbelief.
"Chi Wenyan, what are you talking about?"
Feng Lou's face turned pale.
His hands, hanging at his sides, were clenched into fists.
Seeing his reaction, Chi Wenyan's contempt deepened.
"What? My good father's illegitimate son came to my wife. Is he trying to act out some kind of grand family recognition drama?"
"Chi Wenyan!" Feng Lou finally couldn't help but yelled, "Watch your mouth!"
"Clean?" Chi Wenyan's eyes became more and more ferocious, as if he wanted to eat him alive. "You and your mother are both unworthy of this word!"
"you!"
Seeing that the tension between the two was growing stronger, Ji Wan suddenly rushed in between them and separated them.
"Shut up, everyone!"
She first glared at Chi Wenyan, then turned to Feng Lou, whose face was pale, and her voice was trembling.
"Is what he said true?"
"Feng Lou, you are his father's..."
She couldn't bring herself to ask the word "illegitimate child".
Feng Lou's lips moved a few times, but he couldn't utter a word.
His face, which always wore a gentle smile, now lost all its color, leaving only an embarrassing paleness.
Under Chi Wenyan's gaze that almost tortured him to death, he avoided Ji Wan's sight, his Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and finally, he squeezed out a word from his throat almost inaudibly.
"yes."
One word, but it weighs a thousand pounds.
Ji Wan's heart sank and his body shook uncontrollably.
It’s actually true.
This partner, who has always been gentle, polite and talented, turned out to be Chi Wenyan's half-brother.
It's that illegitimate child that everyone despises.
Chi Wenyan looked at her shocked expression and felt a surge of anger in his heart.
He took a step forward and pulled Ji Wan behind him with a strong movement, without a trace of gentleness.
"Stay away from him."
His voice was cold as ice as ice, and he was talking to Ji Wan, but his eyes were fixed on Feng Lou, full of warning.
Ji Wan staggered when he was pulled by him, and when he came to his senses, his brows were tightly furrowed.
"Chi Wenyan, what are you doing?"
"What am I doing?" Chi Wenyan sneered, pointing at Feng Lou, "I told you to stay away from people like that, didn't you hear me?"
His tone was domineering and brooked no room for argument.
Feng Lou's body was as stiff as a sculpture. The knuckles of his fists hanging at his sides were white, and his nails were deeply embedded in his palms.
Ji Wan looked at his humiliated expression, then at Chi Wenyan's aggressive attitude, and the shock in his heart was slowly replaced by a sense of absurdity.
She broke free from Chi Wenyan's hand.
"This is my studio, and Feng Lou is my partner."
"Partner?" Chi Wenyan's voice rose, his anger no longer suppressed. "Ji Wan, clear your mind a little. Do you know who he is? He's the son of a mistress, a shady person. You're working with him? Don't you think it's dirty?"
Every word and sentence was like a poisoned knife, not only stabbing Feng Lou's heart, but also making Ji Wan's face increasingly ugly.
"Do you have to be so harsh in your words?"
"That's unpleasant?" Chi Wenyan laughed angrily, "What did I say that wasn't true? Or are you going to quarrel with me over an illegitimate child?"
He took a step forward and stared at her, "Are you protecting him?"
These two words instantly dropped the air, which had just warmed up, to freezing point.
Ji Wan felt a pain in his heart when he saw the coldness in his eyes.
She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself sane.
"I'm not defending him, I'm just discussing the matter objectively. Feng Lou is very talented and very important to the studio. I can't just fire an important employee because of the grudges between you two generations ago!"
"So, you choose him and not me?" Chi Wenyan's eyes turned completely cold, and all the warmth disappeared.
"This isn't a multiple-choice question!" Ji Wan was also furious. "Chi Wenyan, can you please be reasonable? Public is public, private is private! Why are you taking your anger out on my work?"
"Good, good! Public is public, private is private!"
Chi Wenyan laughed in anger. He stared at Ji Wan, with disappointment and violence in his eyes.
"I'm going to put this here today."
"Either he or I, or I or him."
"You choose."
After saying that, he no longer looked at Ji Wan, nor paid any attention to the man who made him so disgusted.
He turned around suddenly, opened the car door and got in.
The engine roared loudly, and the black car rushed out like an arrow, raising a cloud of dust and disappearing at the end of the street.
Only Ji Wan and Feng Lou were left, frozen in place.
The air was still filled with the strong smell of gunpowder and those cold words.
Ji Wan stood there, looking at the direction where the car disappeared, his hands and feet cold.
The relationship that had finally been eased was shattered once again.
The roar of the car engine completely disappeared at the corner of the street.
