Chapter 72 Passerby A
"Pearl, are you single now?"
Since some things have already been said, we should ask more clearly.
"Yes, I'm single."
At this moment, Bai Zhenzhu had completely forgotten about Shi Jin, Qin Shen, and Fu Nansheng.
Once you reunite with your beloved, will you still care about the fate of the cannon fodder?
"I came back to China this time just for you. I want to pursue you, I want to be with you..."
White Pearl stared at him in disbelief, unaware that her appearance resembled a newborn fawn in a mountain stream, with clear, round black eyes and a pitiful look.
"Senior, you're not kidding, are you? I..."
"Pearl, I know it might seem abrupt and strange to say this now, but I genuinely like you and want to be with you. You can think about it carefully before giving me an answer..."
Actually, Bai Zhenzhu really wanted to answer immediately, but that would make her seem unreserved, so she nodded shyly and murmured, "Okay, senior, I'll consider it."
Hearing Bai Zhenzhu say she would consider it, Su Yizheng wasn't too surprised, as if everything was within his expectations, but he was actually in a better mood.
He then ordered several bottles of good wine for everyone to drink.
...
When Jin rushed to the bar's private room, he saw through the glass door that Bai Zhenzhu was singing a duet with a refined and cultured gentleman.
The song was none other than Adele's "Someone Like You," whose meaning remains unclear...
No, at this moment it is no longer a song with an ambiguous meaning, but a song that is too clear.
Shi Jin stared intently at the two people inside. Bai Zhenzhu looked up at the man with eyes full of affection, while the man never took his eyes off Bai Zhenzhu's face for a moment.
His eyes darkened, as if a raging fire was burning within them, reaching right into his eyes.
Anger and resentment quickly gathered in his chest; he was like a trapped wild beast, wanting to break free of its cage and find its lost freedom.
White Pearl, you abandoned me for this man?
In what ways is he better than me?
Is he richer than me?
Is he more handsome than me?
Does he like you more than I do?
You belong to me, you can't like other men!
Shi Jin slammed the door of the private room open with a "bang," his hands in his pockets, his eyes bloodshot, looking like he wanted to devour someone.
The first person to see Shi Jin was Liu Bing, who shouted unfriendly, "Who are you!"
Shi Jin ignored him and went straight to Bai Zhenzhu.
Bai Zhenzhu was still engrossed in singing her duet with Su Yizheng and had no idea that a dangerous person was approaching.
Just as she was about to sing the last line, the microphone was suddenly snatched away, and her voice was instantly drowned out by the loud accompaniment.
She turned around angrily to see who was playing this prank.
And then I saw a face that shouldn't have been there.
"Shi Jin? What are you doing here?!"
She made no attempt to hide the resentment and disgust in her tone.
At this moment, Su Yizheng also turned his head and looked over, then naturally pulled Bai Zhenzhu into his arms, asking with a hint of displeasure, "Who are you? Who let you in!"
Shi Jin glared angrily at the spot where the two were touching. Even though they were separated by clothes, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.
"White Pearl, who is he? Is he your latest prey?" he said with a contemptuous and disdainful tone.
This put Bai Zhenzhu, who had just reunited with her beloved, in a very awkward position.
She glared at him fiercely, suppressing her anger, and said, "This is none of your business!"
"None of my business? White Pearl, when you were seducing me, teasing me, and kissing me, why didn't you say it had nothing to do with me!"
Shi Jin did it on purpose, and deliberately said the word "dear" very loudly, as if afraid that Su Yizheng would not hear it.
And Su Yizheng did indeed hear it clearly in its entirety.
He looked at Bai Zhenzhu with some hurt, and the image of Bai Zhenzhu kissing Shi Jin suddenly flashed through his mind, and the vines of jealousy grew wildly in his heart.
But he knew that during the five years he was away, he had no right to interfere with who Bai Zhenzhu was with, as long as Bai Zhenzhu belonged only to him from now on.
So he quickly composed himself and pulled Bai Zhenzhu into a tight embrace, asserting domineeringly, "Bai Zhenzhu is my girlfriend now. You have no right to comment. I advise you to leave here immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Shi Jin was enraged by the word "girlfriend" that Su Yizheng mentioned.
His fists were already clenched, and he swung them to punch Su Yizheng in the face.
Bai Zhenzhu immediately sensed what Shi Jin was about to do, so she bravely stepped in front of Su Yizheng, spreading her arms wide and angrily shouting, "Shi Jin! Stop!"
That act of standing up for him remained a thorn in Shi Jin's heart for many years to come, one that could neither be pulled out nor destroyed.
His shoulders slumped, his arms hung down naturally, and he looked weak and powerless.
His eyes were slightly red, and he could only mumble a few words in his throat, as if he were carrying the betrayal and disappointment of the whole world on his shoulders.
"Shi Jin, I'm only saying this one last time: it's over between us. Please don't bother me anymore!"
He felt like a joke, having come to find Bai Zhenzhu with high hopes, only to be thoroughly humiliated.
Only now did he finally understand what heartbreak and unbearable pain meant.
But he was the high and mighty heir of the Shi family, and his pride wouldn't allow him to lower himself and beg to stay again.
So he snorted coldly and replied with feigned nonchalance, "Fine, Bai Zhenzhu, it's over. Even if you kneel down and beg me to come back to you someday, I won't even glance at you again! From now on, Bai Zhenzhu, in my eyes, you're just a nobody!"
He thought that making harsh words would make him feel relieved, but the anxiety and heartbreak in his heart made him unable to control himself.
it hurts!
It felt like something had violently struck my chest, and even my soul seemed to ache.
Bai Zhenzhu was more than happy for Shi Jin to say those words. "Very well, from now on, in my eyes you, Shi Jin, will just be a nobody!"
