The meal ended in the lively atmosphere of Peng Yu, Chen Ziang and Jiang Yuzhou, the secret jealousy of Qiao Li and Chen Ziyan, and the show of affection between Qiao Chu and Fu Zhen. After the meal, several people chatted in the banquet hall to digest the food, and Qiao Chu walked out of the hall to go to the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, she looked up and saw a tall and strong figure leaning against the wall in front of the corridor, with a cigarette in his hand, puffing away.
——It’s Peng Yu.
If Peng Yu was sunny and cheerful just now, he seemed a little gloomy at this moment, like the two extreme sides of light and shadow, turning from light to shadow.
Qiao Chu frowned slightly, nodded at him politely, and was about to walk past him and return to the banquet hall, but before she took two steps, Peng Yu's voice rang out from behind her.
"Ms. Qiao, please stay."
His tone was no longer as bright and clear as before, but had a more casual tone.
Qiao Chu turned around and looked at him with confusion.
Peng Yu took a deep puff of his cigarette, flicked the butt away, and then walked towards Qiao Chu, standing one step in front of her. He said, "Miss Qiao, I have something to say to you."
"What?" Qiao Chu was surprised. They were strangers, right? They had never met before today, what could they talk about?
Peng Yu looked at her beautiful face and had to admit that this girl was indeed too beautiful. She was indeed fascinating. Even he felt a little moved. He calmed down and said straight to the point: "You and Fu Zhen are not suitable. I hope you can leave him."
Leave Fu Zhen?
Qiao Chu was extremely surprised. She didn't expect to hear these words from a stranger. Moreover, this person changed his expression too quickly, right? Just now she was praising Fu Zhen for his good taste in finding a girlfriend, how come she was asked to leave Fu Zhen in the blink of an eye?
What is going on?
However, no matter what the situation is, Qiao Chu will never allow others to dictate his feelings, let alone an unrelated stranger.
She flatly refused, "I'm sorry, I can't obey your order." She looked up and looked directly into Peng Yu's eyes, questioning, "What identity and position do you have to say these things to me? Does the relationship between me and Fu Zhen have anything to do with you?"
Qiao Chu thought this person was simply inexplicable. "Does your family live by the sea? Aren't you meddling too much?"
"You..." Peng Yu choked and defended himself, "I just don't want Fu Zhen to be entangled with a girl like you! Who is Fu Zhen, and what are you? Don't rely on your looks to think about things you shouldn't think about. Be careful not to play with fire!"
"Something I shouldn't think about? You mean Fu Zhen? Ha, you have a strong sense of justice." Qiao Chu sneered, "Then what kind of identity do you think is enough to covet Fu Zhen? A young lady like Chen Ziyan?"
Sure enough, Peng Yu's face changed, Qiao Chu put on a mocking smile, and then said: "I advise you to wake up. What era is this? The Qing Dynasty has been dead for a long time. Don't have those feudal ideas. I, Qiao Chu, don't need any identity, because I am good enough. I am worthy of anyone, not to mention that Fu Zhen and I love each other. You are really a villain in vain!"
After Qiao Chu finished speaking, he was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned away.
Peng Yu was speechless after being scolded by her. He was unwilling to lose face instead of achieving his goal. He ran to Qiao Chu in one step, blocked her way, and said angrily: "I am a villain in vain? How noble do you think you are! I have seen many girls like you, using their pretty faces and sexy bodies to get around rich people, dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family every day, thinking about squeezing into the upper class. Your sister Qiao Li is one of them! Do you think I can't see it? How much can she like Chen Ziang? What she likes is money! Aren't you sisters? Born by the same mother, how big is the difference? You are just more skillful. You can charm Fu Zhen, which is indeed much better than your sister. However, I tell you, girls like you who have no status and no background are destined to become playthings of the upper class. Once Fu Zhen gets tired of you, you can just wait to be abandoned!"
Peng Yu became more and more excited. He kept approaching Qiao Chu and swore like a psychopath. Qiao Chu kept backing away and finally retreated to the wall. She couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"What?" Peng Yu raised a wicked smile and said frivolously, "I don't want to do anything. I just want to see what the face that can charm Fu Zhen looks like. When I look at it from a close distance... it's really tender..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Qiao Chu's face, but Qiao Chu slapped it away mercilessly and scolded, "Please be respectful!"
"Respect? A girl like you is not qualified to talk about respect with me!" As he said that, Peng Yu stretched out his hand again and tried to make a move, but was suddenly pulled away by the big hand that stretched out from behind him. Then a heavy punch landed on his face, causing him to stagger.
Qiao Chu looked up and saw that it was Jiang Yuzhou. She was relieved immediately. She quickly ran to Jiang Yuzhou. Jiang Yuzhou looked at her and asked worriedly, "Xiao Qiao, are you okay?"
Qiao Chu shook his head: "It's okay, thanks to you for coming."
Qiao Chu didn't expect that Peng Yu was so perverted. He wanted to touch her in broad daylight. It was really disgusting.
Jiang Yuzhou looked at her frightened little face and felt a sense of fear in his heart. He had just come out to use the bathroom and saw from afar that Peng Yu pushed Qiao Chu into a corner and tried to do something indecent. He was worse than a beast!
When he thought that if he had not happened to show up, Qiao Chu might have been hurt, he became furious. At this moment, Peng Yu, who was knocked down by a punch, stood up from the ground, and Jiang Yuzhou rushed up again. The two of them immediately wrestled into a ball, and it was difficult to tell who was who for a while.
The two men fought fiercely, their eyes were bloodshot, and neither of them gave in. The noise soon alarmed several people who were chatting in the banquet hall. Fu Zhen heard the crackling sound outside, and thought that Qiao Chu was still outside, so he ran out to check.
Jiang Yuzhou and Peng Yu were fighting each other with punches and kicks. Qiao Chu was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Fu Zhen quickly took her away from the danger zone and checked her up and down nervously, "Xiao Qiao, are you okay?"
Qiao Chu shook her head: "I'm fine." She looked at the two people who were still fighting and said anxiously: "Yu Zhou..."
After confirming that Qiao Chu was fine, Fu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. He told Qiao Chu to stay where he was, then walked to Peng Yu and Jiang Yuzhou and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
The two men stopped fighting at this point. Both of them had bruises on their bodies, their clothes were torn, and they looked extremely miserable. Peng Yu wiped the blood from his nose and regained his sunny and cheerful appearance. He complained to Fu Zhen, "Fu Zhen, your friend is too cruel. I was just joking. Is it necessary to be so persistent?"
Fu Zhen's face was as gloomy as water, and his brows were tightly furrowed. He knew Jiang Yuzhou. Although Jiang Yuzhou was the son of an official, he was simple, straightforward and aboveboard. He was not someone who liked to make trouble for no reason, and he would not easily resort to violence.
He turned his puzzled eyes to Jiang Yuzhou, silently asking the reason, but Jiang Yuzhou just lowered his head and remained silent.
His silence made Peng Yu even more arrogant. He then said to Fu Zhen, "Fu Zhen, what kind of friend do you have? He is so rude. Look at what he did to me."
His face was so ugly that Qiao Chu could no longer bear it. Her anger was instantly ignited. She walked straight to Peng Yu and slapped him with all her strength.
Snap—the crisp sound echoed in the corridor, and all the onlookers were stunned, including Jiang Yuzhou who had remained silent just now. No one expected her to suddenly attack.
"You..." Peng Yu covered his burning face and looked at her in disbelief. He didn't expect that he would be beaten by a girl in front of so many people. He immediately felt ashamed. He was about to explode, but saw Fu Zhen behind Qiao Chu. After thinking about it, he forced himself to endure it.
However, he could endure it, but Qiao Chu couldn't. This person was really too much. She changed her hand and slapped Peng Yu on the other side of his face. Seeing the bright red fingerprints on his face, she said bitterly, "I always thought that hitting someone was uncivilized, but today I realized that people who are worse than beasts should be treated in uncivilized ways. I hit you today to teach you an unforgettable lesson. Remember, not all pretty girls have to throw themselves at you. Please respect others and yourself. Those who are in heat anytime and anywhere... they are beasts!"
"you……"
"Qiao Chu, what right do you have to hit someone?" Chen Ziyan rushed up from behind, walked in front of Qiao Chu, and questioned, "You are too barbaric, aren't you?"
"I'm barbaric? He touched me, so can't I hit him?" Qiao Chu asked back with confidence.
"You..." Chen Ziyan said angrily, "You are talking nonsense! Peng Yu is not that kind of person!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was pushed away by someone. Then a figure quickly stepped forward and kicked Peng Yu, who had just stood firm, away. Qiao Chu was shocked and turned around quickly. She saw that Fu Zhen's face was ashen, his eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, and he looked furious.
He kicked with all his strength, and Peng Yu was kicked nearly ten meters away, and he didn't stop until he hit the bathroom door.
Boom——
His body hit the solid wooden door heavily, and then fell heavily to the ground.
"ah--"
He rolled on the ground in pain...
Fu Zhen put his foot down, then picked up the wooden shelf next to him, rushed forward, and smashed it hard on Peng Yu. The high-quality shelf immediately scattered, and wood chips flew. Fu Zhen held the shelf's only remaining foot and kept hitting Peng Yu. The crackling sound and Peng Yu's screams echoed in the corridor, which was extremely creepy to hear.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. They looked at the mad Fu Zhen, not knowing what to do for a moment, and just stood there in a daze.
“Ah—ah—”
Peng Yu's screams became weaker and weaker, but Fu Zhen still did not stop. Bright red blood flowed from Peng Yu's body, staining the clean ground red. His voice became weaker and weaker...
Everyone then woke up as if from a dream and rushed forward to separate the fight. It couldn't be said to be a fight, it was simply a one-sided beating. They just stepped forward to dissuade Fu Zhen.
"Fu Zhen, calm down!"
"Fu Zhen, stop it, you're going to beat him to death!"
"Wuwuwu——Brother Jinzhi, please stop it!"
Fu Zhen had already lost his mind. So many people came forward but failed to stop him. Just when everyone was at a loss, Qiao Chu rushed forward, hugged Fu Zhen's waist and shouted, "Jinzhi, stop!"
This sentence was more useful than a hundred other sentences. Fu Zhen finally stopped. He threw away the stick in his hand and reluctantly kicked Peng Yu, who was lying on the ground like mud. He looked up at Chen Ziang and said coldly, "I don't want to see him again! Make him disappear!"
Chen Ziang nodded quickly. Everyone was frightened by the gloomy expression on Fu Zhen's face and dared not say a word, let alone check whether Peng Yu on the ground was dead or alive.
Fu Zhen straightened his messy collar and turned to Qiao Chu, regaining his calm look. He took Qiao Chu's hand and left without looking back.
It was not until his figure completely disappeared that Chen Ziang hurried to Peng Yu to check his injuries. Seeing that he was only seriously injured and still had a breath, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to carry him to the hospital for treatment. Afterwards, the birthday party ended in a bad mood.
After everyone left, Chen Ziang called Chen Ziyan and asked sternly, "Ziyan, what role did you play in today's incident?"
Chen Ziyan looked confused: "What function? What does it have to do with me?"
After hearing her words, Chen Ziang suddenly became furious: "Stop pretending to be innocent here! You have been like this since you were a child, do you think you can hide it from me? I was wondering how Peng Yu knew that I was here to celebrate Fu Zhen's birthday, and he insisted on following me. It turns out that it was all arranged by you! I should have known that he has been chasing you and trying to please you since he was a child. Your words are more useful than an imperial decree! He wouldn't be so stupid as to take advantage of Qiao Chu for no reason. It must be you who instructed him to do so. How could you be so confused!"
"Yes, I ordered it!" Chen Ziyan saw that she was exposed, so she simply admitted it, "How could I be confused? I want to get Brother Jinzhi back! I can't give Brother Jinzhi to anyone else, he is mine!"
"He's yours? Has he ever paid attention to you? Has he ever said he likes you? Why are you so wishful?!"
"Brother, you are my real brother, how can you say that to me!" Chen Ziyan screamed, "You have changed. You have always supported me and Brother Jinzhi. I am not wishful thinking. If it weren't for Qiao Chu, one day, Brother Jinzhi would be mine!"
Chen Ziang rubbed his forehead with a headache. This sister is hopeless. Her family's doting made her more and more paranoid and unwilling to listen to advice. "Fu Zhen is a person. He has his own thoughts. You can't force him to have feelings. If he doesn't want to, no matter what means you use, it will be in vain. Besides, you shouldn't involve innocent people. Peng Yu is in this state now, what should we do? Fu Zhen has already said that he should disappear forever. How can you let him gain a foothold in Beijing in the future?"
"I..." Chen Ziyan felt a little guilty when she mentioned Peng Yu. She didn't expect things to turn out like this. She just wanted Peng Yu to embarrass Qiao Chu and seduce her if necessary. She didn't want it to turn out like this...
Chen Ziang sighed: "Alas - Zi Yan, I hope you can learn from this lesson. You have seen that Qiao Chu is not that kind of casual girl. She is Fu Zhen's serious girlfriend. You have also seen how much Fu Zhen cares about her. Don't anger Fu Zhen, otherwise our family will suffer."
care? Chen Ziyan shook her head frantically: "No! Brother Jinzhi was just bewitched by her for a moment. He will dump her after a while when he gets tired of her. He doesn't care at all..."
"Zi Yan!" Chen Ziang interrupted her loudly, piercing her unrealistic fantasy, "Why don't you understand? Since Grandpa Fu's generation, every generation of their Fu family has been infatuated! Grandpa Fu, Uncle Fu, which one of them is not devoted to his partner and loyal to him until death? The infatuation of their Fu family is well-known. Fu Zhen is definitely serious about Qiao Chu. If nothing unexpected happens, he will never change his mind in his life!"
"No, I don't believe it!" Chen Ziyan kept shaking her head and even blocked her ears with her hands, refusing to listen to anything else. "Brother Jinzhi must be mine!"
After she shouted loudly, she rushed out of the door, leaving Chen Ziang standing there sighing helplessly.
Fu Zhen pulled Qiao Chu away from Yunshangyue. Without calling a driver, he kept walking along the roadside. His anger was obviously not subsided yet. The hand holding Qiao Chu was shaking constantly and his jaw was tense.
Qiao Chu just let him lead her forward without asking him where he was going. She just stayed with him quietly, waiting for him to calm down.
They walked like this for a long time, from the brightly lit high-rise buildings to the sparsely populated riverside. At this time, Fu Zhen finally stopped. He felt the cool breeze from the river, turned around suddenly, and hugged Qiao Chu tightly.
Unlike the gentleness and caution in the past, he hugged her extra tightly today, and his two arms locked Qiao Chu tightly like two iron chains, making her feel a little pressure and having difficulty breathing.
After a while, Fu Zhen spoke, his voice a little hoarse, "I'm sorry." Feeling the warm touch in his arms, his mood finally calmed down a little. He blamed himself and said, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged. It's my fault for not protecting you well. I won't do that again in the future... forgive me..."
Qiao Chu put her arm around his waist and rested her head on his hot chest, "Don't apologize, it's not your fault, it was just an accident."
Fu Zhen gently stroked her soft long hair, still unable to let go of what had just happened, "No, it's all my fault, I made you feel wronged, I really deserve to die..."
Qiao Chu put her hand on his thin lips, stopped him from saying the next word, and smiled softly at him, "Don't say unlucky words. Today is your birthday, you should be happy."
She thought about it and decided to change the subject, "I haven't given you your birthday present yet, guess what I prepared for you?"
Seeing her beautiful eyes sparkling with interest, Fu Zhen didn't want to spoil her fun, so he followed her wishes and asked, "What is it? I can't guess."
Qiao Chu took out a beautifully wrapped paper package from her bag and handed it to him, "It's a scarf! Haven't you always wanted one?"
In fact, Fu Zhen had already guessed that she would give him a scarf. After all, they had discussed it a few days ago. However, when he really got the scarf, he still felt happy.
He carefully opened the outer paper packaging, revealing a white scarf. The scarf was made of very fine thread, with no hair or patterns on it. It looked thin and ordinary. However, Fu Zhen was very happy. He touched the texture of the scarf as if it were a treasure, feeling the touch in his hands. Suddenly, he noticed a red mark on the bottom of the scarf. He thought it was a stain that he accidentally rubbed on, so he quickly patted it with his hand. However, after patting it several times, the stain did not go away. He was a little confused, so he held the scarf to the residual light of the street lamp by the river and took a closer look -
It turned out that it was not a stain at all, but the two words "Jinzhi" embroidered with red thread!
Fu Zhen looked up in surprise and looked at Qiao Chu, "Xiao Qiao, could this be..."
Qiao Chu nodded: "Well, I spent a few days knitting this for you, and I embroidered your name on it. How about it, are you happy?"
Fu Zhen stroked the two words "Jinzhi" on the scarf, as if he was stroking some priceless treasure, and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I like it very much!"
Seeing his joy was so obvious that it didn't seem fake, Qiao Chu breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you like it, I prepared it carefully. I just bought it casually for Jiang Yuzhou. Don't be jealous anymore."
Qiao Chu took the scarf, walked up to Fu Zhen and put it around his neck, nodding with satisfaction. She knew that this color suited her, and it was indeed the right color!
Seeing that Fu Zhen's expression had eased a lot, she slowly said, "Jinzhi, don't be angry. You just helped me teach the bad guy a lesson. This matter is over, okay?"
She was also very angry about what happened just now, but she had already taken revenge on the spot. Fu Zhen beat him up like that again. Peng Yu would probably not be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month. More importantly, she didn't want Fu Zhen to always be brooding over this matter.
When it comes to this matter, Fu Zhen is still angry. However, looking at Qiao Chu's worried eyes, he suppressed his anger. Fearing that he might scare her, he barely pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Well, I'll do as you say."
There is no need to tell Qiao Chu some things, he will solve them naturally.
Seeing him smile, Qiao Chu finally felt relieved. She patted his head approvingly and praised him, "So good!"
"Be good?" Fu Zhen narrowed his eyes. This girl was becoming more and more presumptuous. No man's head or woman's waist could be touched! "So am I rewarded for being so good?"
"What reward do you want? Didn't I just give you a Xiao Qiao brand warm scarf?"
"Then I also want a kiss from Little Joe..."
"You...how can you be so shameless!"
Qiao Chu blushed, quickly pushed him away and ran to the side.
Fu Zhen stretched out his big hand and pulled her back, locked her in his arms, lowered his head and grabbed her tender red lips...
