Chapter 374 - Bai Ziqi Was Courting Death (1/2)
Xie Hong was a very smart woman, so Wen Pintang chose her as Mrs. Wen.
“I can bring you the glory and respect, but I can’t give you love. If you like, we will register for marriage tomorrow.” This was what Wen Pintang said when they were about to marry. Xie Hong had thought that he would not fall in love with anyone. However, when she accidentally learned that at every Christmas, Wen Pintang would send gifts to someone in S City, she knew that a woman had already lived in his heart.
Later, she knew about Xin Qing. Xie Hong tried to find all the information about that woman. Then she was like a bystander, looking Wen Pintang stare at the woman he loved in the distance year after year but neither bother her nor forget her.
So, she also chose to be silent. It originally was a marriage without love; why bothered to care who he loved?
Looking at the man who slowly walked in the door, Xie Hong smiled and greeted him, “You are here!”
“Yeah,” Wen Pintang reached out and asked, “Where is Zeyu?”
Xie Hong took him by the arm. To outsiders, they seemed to be made for each other, just like a heaven-made couple when they stood there.
“Over there, your son is pleasing a girl!”
Wen Pintang saw two kids eating snacks on the sofa. The little boy flushed while peeking at the little girl. He smiled and said, “Jiang Rui’s daughter?”
“Yeah.” Xie Hong pointed to Chen Chen, who was standing beside Jiang Rui. “Her mom.”
“Let’s say hello to them!” Wen Pintang wore his usually gentle and warm smile, thinking of Xin Qing’s words.
He asked Xin Qing before if she had known Chen Chen’s identity, but Ying Qingcang stopped her from revealing the truth. However, when he left, Xin Qing once gave him a hint.
“Do you like playing mahjong?” Xin Qing asked him.
Wen Pintang smiled and said, “When do you have such a hobby?”
“Occasionally, I would play a few rounds of mahjong, and I really want to claim the pure character (“Wan” in Chinese) tiles to win.”
“I got it!”
Chen Chen was the daughter of Boss Wan. Wen Pintang remembered that the youngest daughter of Boss Wan never appeared in public. It was said that she disappeared more than ten years ago. In fact, Chen Chen’s identity was not important to him, but Xin Qing saw that he was worried about her, so she told him in that way that Chen Chen was one of her own.
Wen Pintang was somewhat pleased that at least Xin Qing cared about his feelings. If he had the opportunity of fair competition, Ying Qingcang would definitely lose to himself…
“Hello, I am Wen Pintang.” He stood in front of Chen Chen.
Chen Chen was being taken by Jiang Rui as the background, when she suddenly heard someone talk to her. Then she turned around in surprise, and saw a man smiling at her.
“Are you Mr. Wen?” She saw Xie Hong take the man by the arm and understood his identity.
Jiang Rui had already seen Wen Pintang early. He saw him take the initiative to talk to Chen Chen, frowning and turning around to say, “Have you already finished your things?” He showed a meaningful smile and said, “Fairly fast.”
“Yeah.” Wen Pintang looked at him, thinking that Jiang Rui probably did not know Chen Chen’s identity, well…
Xie Hong saw the two men seem to have something to say, taking Chen Chen away. “Let’s go there to eat and talk.”
Chen Chen looked up at Jiang Rui; glancing at her high-heeled shoes, Jiang Rui nodded.
When the two women walked away, Wen Pintang said, “She doesn’t seem to like you.”
“So what? She is my lawful wife.” Jiang Rui did not care. Anyway, as for his feelings about Chen Chen, he was just eager to investigate her now.
Wen Pintang glanced at him and said, “Don’t be so proud. The prouder you are in love, the more miserable ending you will have.”
“Like you?”
“I’ve never been allowed to play the game; how could I have a chance to lose?” Wen Pintang shook his head. With regard to Xin Qing, he did not even have the chance to lose…
Jiang Rui took a sip of red wine, and gave a questioning look all over Wen Pintang’s face. “I heard that your brother had returned to the Wen family, right?”
“Alas, ruin five companies in seven years. I really wonder if he had any brains in his head.” When it came to his younger brother, Wen Pintang was helpless.
Jiang Rui laughed contemptuously. “I believe you have inherited all the intelligence, leading to only water in his head.”
Chen Chen and Xie Hong were sitting beside their kids and chatting, and no one disturbed them. The persons who knew them, just nodded to say hello; as for those who didn’t know them, they didn’t dare to go up to them.
“Mom, I want to go to the bathroom.” Wen Zeyu said with a persistently red face. Tuan Zi jumped off the sofa and said, “I will go, too!”
Xie Hong took a kid in each hand, “Well, I see that you are not accustomed to the high-heeled shoes; you can just sit here, and I will lead them.”
Chen Chen nodded, and her ankles began to hurt. It was all Jiang Rui’s fault to let her accompany him. She took a glass of orange juice and leaned on the sofa. Today, she wore a long white dress made of brocade to emphasize her shapely body. Furthermore, the makeup made her more brightly glamorous, and many men were secretly stealing a glance at her.
Of course, there were always some daredevils to accost her.
“Mrs. Jiang.” A strange man sat down next to her.
Chen Chen quietly moved further from her, keeping a vigilant watch over the man.
“Don’t you remember me? We have met before,” Bai Ziqi wore a smile that he thought was charming and handsome, “at the Shuixie Restaurant.”
What? Chen Chen opened her mouth and made a gesture of shooting. With the corner of his mouth twitching, Bai Ziqi said, “You may not have mentioned that.”
“Well, will you come to revenge for your sister?” Chen Chen nervously gripped the glass in her hand, thinking that as long as the guy dared to hit her, she would kill him with the glass.
