Chapter 51 Xiaozhi, I want to talk to you alone.
Qi Yishan said that a client friend recently opened a new teahouse and asked her to come and support it, so she made an appointment with Qin Shuzhi to go together today.
When Qin Shuzhi arrived, Qi Yishan was already in the private room.
Upon entering the room, Qin Shuzhi saw her sitting at a tea table carved from a large tree stump, brewing tea.
"Wow, you're here pretty fast. Didn't you say you were only planning to come fifteen minutes ago?"
Qin Shuzhi went over and sat down opposite her. "I came from the Shi Group, so the journey is much shorter."
Qi Yishan handed her a cup of tea. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again, "I really didn't expect that your Mr. Shi would have such a background."
"I told you, you're destined for great wealth and high status, and you're destined to stay in this circle of the rich."
Qin Shuzhi: "..."
However, when the topic of Shi Yuanxing came up, she thought of something else.
"By the way, while I was on the way, the designer sent me two more design drafts. I glanced at them and felt that the design style this time was quite suitable for you. Send them to me and take a look."
This is a jewelry designer that Shi Yuanxing recommended to her. In the past two days, he has provided her with several design drawings of agate jewelry.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yishan immediately picked up her phone with great interest, "Really? Let me see."
"Is the first design... a necklace?"
Qin Shuzhi said, "Yes, it would be very suitable to use the large agate stone that Zhiheng gave you."
Speaking of Qin Zhiheng, Qi Yishan couldn't help but hum.
Qin Shuzhi took a sip of tea, looked at her like this, and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Are you still angry with him?"
How could I not be angry?
Qin Shuzhi, "Didn't you make him treat you to late-night snacks for a whole week after that night?"
"That's why I'm angry. I've gained three pounds, haven't you noticed?"
As Qi Yishan spoke, she excitedly stood up and spun around.
Qin Shuzhi looked at her and couldn't see where she had gained weight, but she still immediately sided with her, "Then this brat will have to pay for you to lose weight."
“It’s too cheap for him to pay me. I need him to go running with me every night. He can’t get away with anything less than ten kilometers.”
Qi Yishan loves sports; running 10 kilometers is a piece of cake for her, but...
Qin Shuzhi thought of her lazy younger brother who loved to lie down and play on his phone whenever he had free time...
Asking him to run ten kilometers every day would probably kill him.
Unable to bear it any longer, she picked up the purple clay teapot on the table and poured Qi Yishan a cup of tea, pleading, "Sister... could you give him a discount?"
Qi Yishan said with a generous air, "Alright, for your sake, I'll give him a 10% discount."
Qin Shuzhi: "..."
10% off?
It seems her favor isn't worth much.
As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
Thinking it was a waiter coming in to refill her water, Qi Yishan said, "Come in."
The door was pulled open, and Qi Yishan looked up, paused for a moment, and then her expression became quite complicated.
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
Qin Shuzhi, who had her back to the door, suddenly twitched her eyelids and then frowned in annoyance.
There is only one person that Qi Yishan can call "brother".
She knew who it was without even looking.
Qin Shuzhi gripped the teacup irritably, without turning around or saying a word.
Because she wasn't sure if he came here to see Qi Yishan or for something else.
As the sound of leather shoes drew closer, Qin Shuzhi caught a glimpse of someone stopping beside her.
"Please go out for a moment. I need to talk to her alone."
He said this to Qi Yishan.
Qi Yishan felt a headache coming on as she watched his gaze lingering on Qin Shuzhi.
She hadn't even settled the score with him for stealing her phone to meet up with Zhibao last time, and now he was doing it again.
"Brother, what have you been doing all day?"
Don't you usually work around the clock at the company?
Why are you so free now?
Shen Yichen turned to look at her, his calm voice carrying a commanding tone, "You go out first."
Just as Qi Yishan was about to speak, Qin Shuzhi, who was sitting there, spoke first.
"We can chat, but Yi and San can't leave."
She looked up at Shen Yichen with a blank expression.
In the past, she would have gotten up and left without saying a word, and would never have wasted a single word on him.
But thinking about how he actually went to cause trouble for Shi Yuanxing today, she felt really angry. There were some things she needed to clarify with him again.
When Shen Yichen met her cold gaze, his tone softened, "Xiao Zhi, I want to talk to you alone."
"First, I am married, so it is necessary for me to maintain a certain distance and sense of boundaries with men."
Qin Shuzhi glanced at him. "Secondly, I don't trust your character, so I need someone else to be present."
Who knows if he'll suddenly become violent and start hitting me again?
"If you don't want Yi San here, fine, then let a security guard come in from outside."
In short, she wouldn't be alone with him.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yichen's usually composed expression turned extremely unpleasant.
Does she think he's some kind of beast, that she has to be so wary of him?
Qi Yishan didn't expect Qin Shuzhi to bring out the security guards.
She imagined a gossipy security guard standing there watching her brother harass his ex-girlfriend, just watching the whole thing unfold...
emm~
If that's really the case, then her scumbag brother, the president of the Shen Group, really can't save face.
Seeing the two locked in a silent standoff, Qi Yishan sighed and compromised, saying, "I'll sit on the sofa over there for a while, you two can talk."
She gave the two of them some space to chat privately, and she didn't leave the room.
This means that the requirements of both sides have been met.
Once Qi Yishan left, only the two of them remained.
Qin Shuzhi didn't even stand up; she just looked up at Shen Yichen and said, "What do you want to say? Speak first."
Shen Yichen looked at her, his gaze softening, and the usually arrogant man slowly knelt down in front of her.
"I'm sorry, Xiaozhi, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me and come back to me. I'll do anything you want to make it up to you..."
Seeing him reach out to shake her hand, Qin Shuzhi quickly dodged and stood up to create distance between them.
"I told you, I will never forgive you."
Qin Shuzhi said coldly, "And please wake up, okay? I'm already married. You know that now too, my husband is the young master of the Shi family."
"So what?"
Shen Yichen stood up abruptly, realizing he had overdone it. He tried to suppress his emotions, "Does he really love you? With a family like the Shi family's, the only wedding house he bought for you was in Yushui Bay. Even the wedding ring, he made you pay for it. Do you really think he cares about you?"
"So you think love is something that can be measured in money?"
Qin Shuzhi looked at him with amusement.
"Yes, you did give me a lot of expensive things, but how many of those things did I like? When you spent a fortune to buy a wedding house in Banshan Longting, did you ever think about how long it would take to get from Banshan Longting to Yunying Middle School?"
Shen Yichen's pupils contracted sharply, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.
Qin Shuzhi told him, "Without traffic, the journey takes forty minutes."
However, the road from Banshan Longting to Yunying Middle School passes through at least three congested sections.
"The wedding room you chose is very luxurious and high-end, but did you choose it for me? No, you only chose it to save face and to match your status as the president of the Shen Group."
That's the difference between him and Shi Yuanxing.
Even if Shi Yuanxing's actions towards her were merely out of a sense of responsibility as a wife, he still considered every aspect of her life.
It's not that he can't afford a luxury villa; he chose to have their wedding home in Yushui Bay to accommodate her work.
