Meng Yunche was completely bewildered by Gu Qingyan's antics, having no idea what he was talking about. He stared blankly at Gu Qingyan, exclaiming speechlessly, "Qingyan, are you drunk? What? An'an knows she's in the mountains of Rongcheng? How could An'an possibly know?!"
"You're still pretending?" Gu Qingyan, drunk, leaned closer, staring intently at him, trying to confirm if he was lying. But under the influence of alcohol, the anger in his heart burned even brighter, and he raised his fist as he spoke.
"What am I pretending for? How can you blame me and An'an for your wife's disappearance?! This is ridiculous! I should have known better than to come!" Meng Yunche was also a little annoyed. He watched An'an leave angrily and wanted to follow her, but Gu Qingyan grabbed him and said some nonsensical things before trying to beat him up.
"Enough!" Si Mingyu stood up, clearing his throat with a hint of anger. His gaze towards Gu Qingyan grew colder, and his already furrowed brows deepened. Looking at Gu Qingyan's somewhat dazed expression, he said coldly:
"Qingyan, do you only use your brain when you're working? At other times, is your brain just for decoration?"
"What?" Gu Qingyan shook her head, which was not quite clear yet, and looked at Si Mingyu with some confusion.
"I said, are you brainless?!" Si Mingyu's usually gentle face was now tinged with anger. He couldn't hold back any longer as he watched Gu Qingyan drown her sorrows in alcohol. "Does drowning your sorrows in alcohol solve anything? The root of the problem between you and Zhi Qiu lies with you. I don't care if you admit it or not, but you haven't cherished her since she married you. You brought this situation upon yourself!"
"So? You want to compete with me?" Gu Qingyan smiled wryly. "Well, she did like you for many years. Who knows, all these years, you two might have..."
"Gu Qingyan!" Si Mingyu's face darkened, and he raised his voice in uncontrollable anger, "Don't give me that nonsense! After you married Zhi Qiu, we've always been completely innocent, we've never even been in contact. You know what happened back then, how could someone as stubborn as Zhi Qiu possibly have anything to do with me?"
What you're saying now is just an attempt to absolve yourself of responsibility and shift the blame onto her. If you're a man, take responsibility and sincerely apologize to Zhi Qiu! Fight for your happiness like a man; there's nothing shameful about bowing your head to the one you love!
"I apologized, but it was no use." Gu Qingyan wasn't angry at being scolded; he just said somewhat dejectedly.
"If I were Zhi Qiu, I wouldn't forgive you either!" Si Mingyu stabbed him in the heart again. "Put yourself in Zhi Qiu's shoes. You only moved into your house because Lu Jia was protecting her and for her safety. But what about you? You only cared about your own happiness and brought Xiao Wanqing back to your marital home! Zhi Qiu was pregnant. Tell me, how disappointed must she have been in you to hide her pregnancy and choose to hide in the mountains of Rongcheng rather than leave you!"
Gu Qingyan, you have no heart! You don't deserve Zhi Qiu at all!
Let me explain it to you. She was just kidnapped, and she suffered severe physical and mental trauma. Do you think she must have felt incredibly desperate during that time? Was she scared when she slept on a dark patch of grass? When we saw her, she looked so disheveled and miserable. Didn't you feel any heartache for her?
Even if you don't feel sorry for Zhi Qiu, don't you feel sorry for your own two children?
You know, Qingyan, I'd rather Zhi Qiu be with Lu Jia, at least she'd be safe and sound. I don't dare hope I'll ever have a chance to be with Zhi Qiu again; I just hope I can be there for her when she needs help, protecting her completely.
"Ha, you make it sound so noble, but don't think I don't know you still like her!" Gu Qingyan sneered and took another swig of wine.
"It is love." Si Mingyu smiled faintly and admitted softly, "But so what? No one says that liking someone means you have to be together. Doesn't liking someone mean wanting them to be happy?"
If she is truly happy and content, what does it matter if she's not by my side?
Not all beautiful things have to stay with me. Perhaps you should learn to let go.
I know Zhi Qiu has already had her lawyer send you the divorce papers, Qing Yan. Perhaps you should sign them.
"I insist on keeping her by my side!" Gu Qingyan sneered, glancing sideways at Si Mingyu. "Only the weak give way. What's mine is mine! I will never give it to anyone else!"
"Why force it? Qingyan, you had it before, but you didn't cherish it. The fate between you has run its course." Meng Yunche couldn't stand it anymore and offered some advice.
"Haven't you been forcing things too? If you hadn't kept pestering me, you and An'an would have broken up long ago!" Gu Qingyan retorted impatiently. "You have no right to advise me! Think about your own problems first."
"Indeed, I have been the one trying to maintain this relationship."
But Qingyan, our relationship has always consisted only of the two of us; there has never been a third person involved. I don't have a childhood sweetheart. And I will never neglect An'an for another woman. An'an will always be my number one priority, without exception.
But you are not.
Many things were prioritized over Shen Zhi Qiu.
Therefore, you have no right to shout here.
Losing her is your own fault!
After saying that, Meng Yunche stood up and walked towards the door while taking out his phone.
"Hey, An'an, where are you? I'm coming to find you..."
