C23 (1/2)

Upon seeing He Qingyu leave with large strides, he couldn't help but walk out. Clenching his fists tightly, he walked towards Zhou Xuan Qing, who was still dazed on the spot. As he approached, he raised his hand and swung it.

”Pah!” A resounding slapping sound could be heard in the quiet dance room as the defenseless Zhou Xuanqing was thrown into a daze.

Her face burned so much that she nearly burst into tears. He forced himself to endure it and raised his head to look at Ji Yun, who had appeared here for some reason. He pursed his lips but didn't say anything.

She was thinking about what she should say to retrieve this slap.

Looking at the bright red handprint on Zhou Xuan Qing's face, Ji Yun felt a little relieved. He pursed his lips and looked at Ye Zichen with disdain, ”You should look at yourself in the mirror and see who you are. Is my Ah Yu also something you can think about?”

He looked just like his wife, scolding Little San. Zhou Xuan Qing's lips curved up in a faint smile, mocking back the humiliation he had suffered. ”Your Ah Yu, as far as I know, CEO He is still a bachelor.”

”You …” Ji Yun was so angry that he wanted to slap her again, but his palm missed and missed. He put it down helplessly and said word by word, ”You don't have to worry about that. I'm the perfect match for Ah Yu's sect. A childhood friend.” Our families have long agreed to the marriage between the two of us. ”

Although Ji Yun felt that there was no need to say all this to a lowly character like Zhou Xuanqing, she still said it out loud. Her goal was to let everyone know that she was definitely He Qingyu's wife.

Seeing Ji Yun speak so confidently, although Zhou Xuan Qing's heart ached, his face revealed a faint smile. ”Oh, is that so?” Then shouldn't I congratulate you in advance for having an early relationship with President He? ”

Ji Yun could tell that Zhou Xuanqing was mocking her. She took a deep breath, and her expression suddenly turned gentle and amiable. ”Miss Zhou, I think I should advise you on who can provoke and who cannot be provoked.” He changed the topic and said, ”It's a pity that a person can't even see their own identity clearly.”

Originally, Zhou Xueqing still had some confidence in returning the favor. He thought about his father who was still lying in the hospital, and the huge debt that he had to pay off by selling himself. She suddenly felt that she was just as Ji Yun said, unable to clearly see her identity.

He didn't even have his freedom. As his mistress, what could he say to refute that?

Looking at Zhou Xueqing, who had suddenly quieted down and no longer dared to argue with him, Han Sanhe felt a sense of unease in his heart. Ji Yun opened her mouth and let out a light laugh. With both hands on her chest, she said proudly, ”You've thought it through? ”Seems like he's not that stupid after all.”

Zhou Xuanqing clenched his fists in pain, but he dared not retort. She was afraid that if the woman in front of her became jealous and did something to her, what should she do?

Especially since it might involve the Zhou family in the end, it was something that could not be allowed to happen no matter what. She deceived her parents with lies and did not tell them that she was being someone else's mistress.

The current her simply didn't have the ability to withstand any kind of damage.

Zhou Xuanqing's forbearance made Ji Yun feel that she could be even more cruel. Who told this woman, who came out of nowhere, to actually dare to be embraced by He Qingyu? This was something that she had yearned for day and night. She had liked He Qingyu for so long that she hadn't even held a hand with him …

Yes.

How could this woman, who was nothing at all, be embraced by He Qingyu?

This was something she could not accept.

He Qingyu took the elevator back to the top floor. When he saw that Ji Yun's seat was empty, he frowned slightly and looked towards his brother He Qingyu.

He Qing Yun picked up the red wine in front of him and tasted it. With a look of disappointment, he said, ”She's the same as you. She's using the same excuse as you to leave. When she returns, she claims to have left beforehand.”

When He Qingyu heard this, he nodded his head without a trace of doubt.

He Qing Yun saw that his expression was not depressed, as if he was in a bad mood. He poured out the red wine in front of him and handed the bottle over to He Qingyu, ”It's been a long time since we've had a drink together, why not have a good one tonight?”

In his mind, he was still wondering if He Qingyu would be able to return to the villa today. Hearing his words, He Qingyu did not refuse. He reached out to grab the bottle of wine and poured himself a full cup.

Then, he emptied his stomach in one gulp.

Seeing this, He Qing Yi played the role of his elder brother to persuade him, ”Ah Yu, drinking like this will harm your body. Come, let's eat the dishes here first and drink while we eat. ”

He Qingyu poured another cup and was about to finish it when he lowered his head to look at the seemingly rich and delicate dishes on the table. However, he felt that he had no appetite at all. He shook his head and said, ”I'm not hungry. I suddenly miss the dishes that Aunt Lan cooked.”

Aunt Lan had been a babysitter in the He family for almost thirty years. When He Qing Yi heard He Qing Yu say that name, his eyes flashed unnoticeably. He smiled faintly and said, ”You still remember Aunt Lan. I thought you had lost track of the He family's home after coming back from abroad to take over the company.”

In the face of these words, He Qingyu had no words to refute. He raised his glass and drank all the red wine inside in one gulp before saying dejectedly, ”The He family's appearance hasn't changed, but the people inside have.”

Usually, He Qingyu always appeared to be amiable and courteous, but he was also indifferent and distant. People could not figure out what they were thinking and would never say something like that.

Looking at He Qingyu who was drinking two large glasses of red wine at the opposite side, He Qingyu guessed that it was because of the alcohol that he had let down his guard. He actually spoke his mind and smiled faintly, thinking that the wine was truly a good thing. He raised his wine cup and said, ”I'll take it as you talking nonsense when you're drunk. Didn't we agree that we're going to drink together? Why are you so focused on drinking by yourself?”

There was a hint of reproach in his words. He Qingyu looked at the wine cup that was being raised. Without saying anything else, he picked up the cup that he had just filled and lightly touched it.

The two brothers raised their heads and downed the wine in one gulp, but the expressions on their faces were completely different.
