Chapter 87 Revenge of the Past Life
"Shen Xiliu, are you crazy?"
Tonight's birthday party was held in the banquet hall. Qi Yan stayed with Jiang Yuqing, who was feeling unwell, on one side. He wanted to finish early and go back to rest, but Shen Xiliu and You Yi came up to him. He thought they were just saying hello, but they suddenly mentioned Gu Yanxing.
Qi Yan and Jiang Yuqing were both stunned. Qi Yan subconsciously looked at Jiang Yuqing, worried that his emotions might fluctuate.
Shen Xiliu noticed his movements, his expression as cold as ever. You Yi beside him asked curiously, "I heard that you three grew up together?"
"Not really. At most we played together when we were kids, but not long after that we went our separate ways." Jiang Yuqing was a little surprised, but didn't take it too seriously. He wouldn't get nervous even when the other person mentioned Gu Yanxing's name.
They chatted for a while, and it was normal at first. They just asked a few questions casually, and somehow they mentioned the case of Gu's enterprise producing and selling fake and inferior drugs, and also talked about the case that Gu Yanxing drove his car and hit the Yi family couple's car not long ago, resulting in one death and one injury...
At this point, Jiang Yuqing's smile disappeared, as if she had guessed that the visitor had ill intentions. Without waiting for You Yi to continue speaking, she made an excuse of feeling unwell and went to the lounge.
"We are already on the high seas, Qi Yan, do you think the Shen family is going to do anything to us?"
But Yi Yang married Shen Xiangting. If they bring down the Yi family, will the Shen family really not cause trouble? Perhaps because he had stayed at sea for too long, coupled with the severe sudden vomiting last night, Jiang Yuqing was now a little listless and had wild thoughts.
Qi Yan comforted him: "Don't think too much. Our country adheres to the principle of personal jurisdiction, and it is the same no matter where you are." Shen Xiliu would not do such a thing.
"That's right. The Shen family isn't stupid." Jiang Yuqing also felt that he was overthinking. After careful consideration, he suspected that the other party was deliberately giving them psychological hints. Before real revenge comes, constant worry about when the revenge will happen will accumulate anxiety and cause psychological burden.
Qi Yan chatted with him for a few words, and inexplicably recalled that last night in the casino, the people at the card game talked about what Chen Xiliu had done. He frowned unconsciously. So was Chen Xiliu treating them as "fish" to fish?
Thinking of this, Qi Yan was also a little irritated. He did not leave with Jiang Yuqing. He went to the smoking room to smoke two cigarettes, returned to the banquet hall, and found Shen Xiliu in a corner: "Come with me."
Tomorrow is the last day, and Qi Yan doesn’t want to drag it on any longer, no matter what the matter is.
He pulled Chen Xiliu onto the open deck. The night breeze was a little cold, and Qi Yan was considering how to start the conversation.
Shen Xiliu's eyes fell on Qi Yan's hand holding his wrist. He placed the red wine glass he had forgotten to put down on the round table beside him and said with a half-smile, "Didn't we agree to keep a distance from each other?"
Staring at Shen Xiliu in front of him, Qi Yan felt a little strange and a little familiar. He was different from the one he met in the early morning. He was more heavy and restrained, as if all his emotional fluctuations were concealed perfectly. Only his eyes were as dangerous as a poisonous snake, entwined around him coldly and deadly, and terrifyingly calm.
Qi Yan let go of his hand: "Chen Xiliu, what are you angry about?"
"Angry?" Shen Xiliu slowly adjusted his cuffs, smoothing out the wrinkles gracefully. The emerald cufflinks were like a mysterious deep pool, emitting a glittering green light. "I'm not angry, but you seem a little irritated. Why, don't you like me appearing near Jiang Yuqing?"
Qi Yan frowned and did not answer the question: "Why did you suddenly mention Gu Yanxing just now?" Shen Xiliu probably didn't know the relationship between Gu Yanxing and Jiang Yuqing, so there was no reason to involve him.
Shen Xiliu took a light step and moved closer to Qi Yan, looking up at him, with a faint smile still on his lips, but a bottomless coldness in his eyes, as if he could see through Qi Yan's thoughts.
"Qi Yan, there are no real secrets in this world. As long as you are willing to investigate, you will know that Jiang Yuqing likes Gu Yanxing, right?"
"..." Qi Yan was silent for a moment, his eyes gradually became cold, "This has nothing to do with you, don't get close to him."
How can it not be related? I like you, you like Jiang Yuqing, Jiang Yuqing likes Gu Yanxing, but Gu Yanxing died, leaving behind such a big trouble.
Shen Xiliu carefully studied Qi Yan's expression, and a flash of hostility flashed across his eyes: "Don't get close to him? Qi Yan, who are you to say such a thing?"
"If I insist on getting close to him, what can you do?" Shen Xiliu sneered.
Qi Yan felt suffocated by Shen Xiliu's familiar arrogant look and the oppressive feeling around him, as if he was back in that embarrassing situation again, with his neck being strangled by an invisible big hand, and every breath became extremely difficult.
"Chen Xiliu, do you have to make such a scene?" Qi Yan was so annoyed that he didn't want to look at his face. He leaned on the railing, looked at the sea, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it irritably.
"Cough cough!" The smell of smoke was blown to Shen Xiliu's face by the wind. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose and coughed a few times. He obviously couldn't smell the smoke.
Qi Yan glanced at him, bit the cigarette, and impatiently took two steps to the right, letting the smoke blow in another direction.
Shen Xiliu was finally able to take a breath. He stared at Qi Yan's back, his expression relaxed for a moment, and then continued: "Qi Yan, you should say this to yourself. Haven't you had enough of this period of time? Am I really so sorry to you?"
"You want to take revenge on me, but I let you tease me. You wanted to take action against the Yi family, steal the information, and send me away. Did I say anything? Do you think I really don't know anything? I'm not that stupid. If I hadn't deliberately cooperated, do you think the downfall of the Yi family would have been so smooth?" Is he so stupid in Qi Yan's eyes? Do you think that by sending him abroad and monitoring his cell phone, you can prevent him from contacting the country?
"Qi Yan, except for you, no one can use me, and no one can get away with it after using me."
Shen Xiliu wanted to remain calm while speaking, but the anger in his heart made him unable to control himself and reveal a hint of resentment. Shen Xiliu really didn't understand. From his perspective, he only did two things wrong. One was that during the contract period, he treated Qi Yan badly, ignoring and hurting his feelings; the other was that he became an accomplice in destroying his right hand.
After starting over, Shen Xiliu thought that he had kept a low profile. No matter how Qi Yan abused and retaliated against him, he had no complaints. He endured it countless times, watching him kiss and make out with others, and trying hard to control his emotions, for fear of hurting Qi Yan.
But three months have passed, and Qi Yan has done nothing but use him. When the deadline is up tomorrow, Shen Xiliu is sure that Qi Yan will never look back at him again!
“Qi Yan, now except for my hand, I don’t owe you anything.” Shen Xiliu picked up the red wine glass he had just placed and poured the red wine into the sea. With a click, he smashed the glass directly, and the glass fragments flew everywhere, and the edge of the glass became sharp. "If your hand can't be healed, I can compensate you with another one."
Qi Yan reacted quickly and grabbed his wrist, snatching the broken red wine glass, with shock and anger still in his eyes: "Chen Xiliu, are you crazy?!"
He starts to hurt himself when he disagrees with something. Doesn't he fear the pain now?
"I'm normal." Shen Xiliu looked at him calmly, his eyes as vicious as a dormant poisonous snake. If Qi Yan didn't stop him in time, he would not hesitate to stab the broken cup into his right hand and give Qi Yan one hand.
"No, you're mentally ill." Qi Yan took a deep breath, stomped out the cigarette on the ground, and felt a chill on his back. "Chen Xiliu, stop making trouble. Can't you end it in a decent way? If you are not willing to let me use you during this period of time and want to retaliate against me, I will let you do it. Don't make trouble to this extent. It's too ugly..."
"Qi Yan, how far are you going to deceive yourself?" Chen Xiliu had had enough of his evasion and stared at him coldly, "You know that I like you, you know that I won't retaliate against you, you know that I just want to be with you, why can't you give me a chance? There are obviously not so many problems between us. As long as you are willing to be with me, all problems can be solved!"
“…”
Qi Yan seemed to be frozen by his words and could not utter anything.
Seeing this, Shen Xiliu calmed down, restrained his strong aura, and said to him in a soft voice: "Qi Yan, you know very well that I only like you. Even what I said at the banquet was just a lie told in anger. I never regarded you as..."
"Why?" Qi Yan repeated these words clearly, interrupting Shen Xiliu's hypocritical words, "Chen Xiliu, you ask me why?"
He stared at Shen Xiliu, his eyes gradually becoming terrifying, making Shen Xiliu feel a little frightened for no reason. His heart was frantically ringing an alarm, telling him to run away quickly and not to listen any more, otherwise he would regret it. But Shen Xiliu couldn't move at all.
"Ha." Qi Yan laughed, "Chen Xiliu, you have the nerve to ask me why?"
"Why, don't you know how much I hate you during this time?"
Qi Yan no longer chose to retreat. He leaned on the railing with one hand, bent over and moved closer, looking at Shen Xiliu's face with amusement.
"Chen Xiliu, do you know how disgusting I feel every time I'm with you? I almost vomited several times. Although you have a good-looking face and always look noble and patient, which easily makes people want to conquer you, I'm not interested when I think of what you did to me."
"If you hadn't given me 10 million at the beginning, making me feel embarrassed to break the contract, and if you hadn't also wanted to get information about the Yi family from you, I wouldn't have been able to hold on. And from the beginning, I had to pretend to be gentle and coax you, which was so tiring. I really wanted to give up. And you don't think that I will forgive you after you take revenge, right?"
Qi Yan thought it was ridiculous, but staring at his face full of disbelief, he showed a pleased expression: "Don't be so naive, Shen Xiliu, the hurt is real and it won't go away so easily. You once used me as a stand-in for Yi Yang, whether it was true or not, it made me so sick that I rushed into the toilet and vomited. Guess how I felt at the time?"
What he said was too harsh and too terrifying. Shen Xiliu felt embarrassed and terrified at the same time because his dignity was hurt. Moreover, Qi Yan had never stared at him with such disgust. The chill spread through his bones to his limbs and bones, and his whole body froze in place. Shen Xiliu shook his head subconsciously.
He tried to step back in fear, but his lower back was against the railing and he had no way to retreat.
"Qi Yan, stop talking, stop talking..."
"Don't be like this. It's rare for me to reveal my true feelings to you." Qi Yan smiled, trapped him in his arms, and said softly, "I really wanted to kill you at that time."
"!" These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Shen Xiliu's heart hard, making his brain go blank and his fingertips feel cold.
Qi Yan continued, as if a lover was whispering in his ear: "Later, when we were in the bar, you sent someone to pin me to the ground, helped Yi Yang to injure me, and destroyed one of my hands, guess what I was thinking at the time?"
"No! No! No!"
Shen Xiliu didn't expect Qi Yan to stare at him with such strong disgust in his eyes. His hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and even his emotions began to get out of control. He hurriedly explained, at a loss.
"I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to stop you. I didn't let the bodyguards hit you hard, I just stopped you. And because you were fighting too hard, they were worried about getting hurt, so they held you down. I wanted to stop it later, but the collar suddenly injected a large amount of inhibitors into my glands, which made me unable to move for a while. By the time I recovered, Yi Yang had already attacked you..."
"Haha, so many reasons." Qi Yan couldn't help but smile brightly, "Anyway, it's not your fault, that's right."
"It's okay. Don't worry about it. The past is over. There's no need to bring it up again or I'll be tormented again. The hurt caused by the past will never disappear. Don't worry about it. I can't forgive you anyway."
Qi Yan reached out and gently stroked Shen Xiliu's messy black hair, with an affectionate look on his face, but the words he spoke were extremely sharp and cold.
"I know. Actually, you have always looked down on me and thought I was dirty, so you always acted arrogantly. No matter what you do, you don't need to discuss it with me. You are not willing to touch me and have no interest in dealing with me. You can even throw the drinks I mix in my face. Anyway, after the contract is over, people like me will never have any intersection with you and there will be no exchange of interests."
His voice was gentle and ambiguous, but every word pierced his heart, like a basin of cold water poured on Shen Xiliu, making him soaked and cold to the bone. Fear and pain almost drowned him.
Shen Xiliu wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he was powerless to refute, because what Qi Yan said was true. Qi Yan knew everything, but he had never exposed the hypocritical illusion on the surface, and kept each other's dignity...
Qi Yan was still speaking slowly: "It's a good thing that you can control your emotions now, letting me play with you at will, and willing to cooperate with everything. Who would have thought that you would resist at the beginning? Haah, do you like me so much? I didn't expect that the always aloof and arrogant Shen San Shao would become so casual after falling in love with Alpha. It's surprising."
"Enough! Stop talking!" It's so harsh! Shen Xiliu was shaking with anger. Qi Yan's current attitude was almost exactly the same as the kind of scumbag he had imagined in the past. It was disgusting and disgusting...
“In fact, when it comes down to it, Shen Xiliu, you’re not much better. You act so noble all day long, but once you get in bed, you become that bitch.”
Qi Yan did not stop, he leaned close to Shen Xiliu's ear and pronounced the two words softly and ambiguously, his warm breath making the sensitive ears turn red.
Shen Xiliu was extremely embarrassed, his emotions were completely controlled by Qi Yan. He felt guilty and remorseful for the past, and also felt disgusted by Qi Yan's words that deliberately trampled on his self-esteem. His nails dug deeply into his palms, as if even his dignity was being trampled under Qi Yan's feet.
"Why do you cry so easily? Are these words so harsh? In my opinion, there is nothing more disgusting than being a stand-in for Yi Yang. You are really used to a life of luxury. In the environment I live in, there are many worse words than these."
"Chen Xiliu, actually you are right. We do not belong to the same world. Shen Xiliu, you should continue to maintain your previous noble and arrogant attitude and stare at me indifferently, just like watching a clown trying his best to make you laugh."
Qi Yan lowered his eyes and stared at the tears that Shen Xiliu had unconsciously shed. He ignored his fluctuating mood and said like a rogue, "Sure enough, no matter how powerful you are, you are just an omega who is so weak that he needs protection?"
Noticing something, he pulled open Shen Xiliu's collar and looked at the collar that kept flashing red lights, his expression gloomy: "Even the pheromones are out of control like this, how pitiful."
"Looks like I'll have to help you calm down again. Let's go, do it quickly before you lose control."
"Don't cry so hard. You should know that I am this kind of person. You are right to look down on me."
"People like us are really bad and like to play with people's hearts. As long as you give me the money, I will do everything I need to do."
"If you think what I said was harsh and that the revenge was too much, and you want to do something to me, it's up to you after the contract ends."
