Upon hearing this, Chen Dongze's smile faltered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and replied, "I know."
Song Qingbin showed no sign of anything amiss on his face. He said, "Let's go."
Han Bailan sat back in the back seat, and Song Qingbin pressed down on the pedal, propelling the car forward.
Chen Dongze followed behind on his bicycle at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
So what if you're married?
A marriage without love is like a tomb. If Song Lan is willing to divorce, he will have the opportunity to get back together with her and treat her even better, without caring about her previous marriage.
After all, he was partly responsible for her marrying someone else.
Thinking of this, Chen Dongze couldn't help but regret his past actions. Why didn't he appear when she needed him most? Why did he so easily believe and care about those rumors?
So much so that she married another man and had no further relationship with him.
Feeling frustrated and regretful has had no effect so far.
He only hopes that she still cares about their past relationship and the unhappiness of their married life, so that she might end her current marriage and he will have a chance to rekindle their old romance.
A dark glint flashed in Chen Dongze's eyes as he mentally prepared to take a good look at his rival and see what kind of person he was that had married the girl he liked!
Qin Yanzheng was pushed into the neighboring courtyard by Wu Dong, which was the home of Cui Xingwang and Zheng Laidi. He was unaware that someone regarded him as a rival in love and wanted to compare him with him.
"you……"
Seeing Wu Dong pushing Qin Yanzheng in front of him, Cui Xingwang was filled with complicated feelings. Although he did not know Qin Yanzheng and Qin Yanzheng, he knew that the two of them were from the same family as Song Lan and knew why they had come to find him at this time.
To be honest, Cui Xingwang knew his wife fairly well, but even with all that knowledge, he never imagined that Zheng Laidi, his wife, would do something so harmful to others and herself.
They wanted to ruin someone's job based on just a rumor, and at the same time, they were planning to have their daughter, Siya, take over the position.
Who does she think she is?
Does Zheng Laidi have the final say on everything?
Why don't they think that even if the person involved in the rumors loses their job, the vacant position will be decided by the leaders, and they certainly won't give the job opportunity to their family just because she made such a fuss?
That would have been fine, but what Cui Xingwang found most embarrassing and incomprehensible was why Zheng Laidi didn't stop in time when she learned that Song Lan was the person mentioned in the rumors.
Have you forgotten what he said before, that the other party's family background is probably not simple?
That stupid woman, she never learns from her mistakes, she has no sense of propriety at all. All her fussing and making a scene has resulted in Comrade Song being perfectly fine and going to work as usual, while she has ended up in the police station receiving three days of ideological education and labor reform, and has also caused him to lose face in front of his colleagues.
Just wait and see how that stupid woman Zheng Laidi will settle the score when she gets back!
"My surname is Qin, and I live next door."
Qin Yanzheng's eyes were still covered by a white veil. He judged Cui Xingwang's location by his voice, then faced him and continued, "You are the master of this house, right?"
"Yes. My surname is Cui, and I am Zheng Laidi's husband."
Cui Xingwang responded and, out of politeness, introduced himself.
"Now you should know why I came to find you."
Before Cui Xingwang could speak, Qin Yanzheng continued, "Logically speaking, our two families are neighbors, and we haven't been here long enough to offend anyone in your family."
But your spouse has repeatedly caused trouble for my family. First, they fabricated rumors to slander me, and now they've spoken rudely to my wife. In your opinion, shouldn't I be given an explanation for this?
“It was indeed my wife’s fault, and I apologize to you. After she is released from the police station, I will have a good talk with her, and then she will apologize to your husband in person.”
Although Qin Yanzheng's eyes were covered by a white veil and he was sitting in a wheelchair, it did not affect his outstanding temperament in the slightest. In addition, his aura was so powerful that Cui Xingwang felt an inexplicable pressure coming towards him.
Cold sweat beaded on Cui Xingwang's forehead. He felt that his stupid wife had really kicked a hornet's nest. He had thought that Song Lan had a good family background, but now the woman in front of him seemed to have a similarly good family background.
Otherwise, the aura and imposing presence he exudes are definitely not something that can be cultivated by an ordinary family.
Arrogant and aloof, indifferent and distant, yet dignified and full of righteousness, Cui Xingwang couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he thought of Qin Yanzheng, who was a deputy factory director parachuted in from the capital.
Could he have come from a wealthy family in Beijing?
As he made this guess, he lowered his stance even further and said, "Comrade Qin, I know that all the blame lies with my wife. She's brainless and delusional, wanting things that don't belong to her. Talk to Comrade Song and tell her not to be angry. I will definitely give her an explanation another day!"
“You should teach your son in public and your wife in private. I hope you will keep your word. Otherwise, with your wife’s way of speaking and acting, it’s not just her who will lose face in public.”
Qin Yanzheng spoke indifferently, his handsome face showing no emotion whatsoever.
"Comrade Qin, you're right. My wife does need to be properly taught."
Cui Xingwang smiled apologetically.
"Let's go back."
Ignoring the other person, Qin Yanzheng turned his head, and two words escaped his lips.
There is no doubt that he was speaking to Wu Dong.
"Um."
Wu Dong responded and pushed Qin Yanzheng away.
Cui Xingwang escorted the two to the courtyard gate, his heart seething with hatred for Zheng Laidi.
That damned, stupid woman! She caused all this trouble herself, yet she expects him to act like a coward in front of others!
Grinding his teeth silently, Cui Xingwang turned and returned to the courtyard.
"Brother-in-law?"
Song Qingbin, pushing his bicycle, spotted Wu Dong pushing Qin Yanzheng. He remembered his parents mentioning that his brother-in-law was currently blind and had a leg injury that prevented him from walking normally.
Based on these two points, upon suddenly seeing Qin Yanzheng, one would naturally associate him with one's own brother-in-law. However, to avoid mistaking him for someone else, one's tone inevitably carried a hint of probing.
Wu Dong was pushing Qin Yanzheng and was about to enter the courtyard when they heard Song Qingbin's voice, and both of them felt puzzled.
Brother-in-law?
Was someone calling him? That was what Qin Yanzheng was thinking.
Wu Dong asked directly, "Who are you looking for, comrade?" Could this be Comrade Song's elder brother?
"Song Lan, I'm looking for Song Lan. She's my younger sister, and I'm her older brother."
Song Qingbin responded with a smile.
Han Bailan stood beside Song Qingbin. She was stunned by Qin Yanzheng's handsome face. Even though Qin Yanzheng's eyes were covered by a white veil and he was sitting in a wheelchair, he was still so handsome that it was impossible to look away.
His posture was upright and composed, and his temperament was proud and aloof, like a noble young master raised in an ancient family!
Is he the husband of that vixen Song Lan?
Han Bailan thought to herself, "I hope it's not true!"
"Hello, brother. I am Song Lan's lover. My name is Qin Yanzheng."
