92 Chapter 92 : Husband Listens (1/2)

Xiulan noticed the confusion on Hongqi's face. She quickly tried to explain to him. ”No. It's actually very personal. It's a war between me and Mao Zhilan. It all started when we were college students.” Xiulan muttered before shoving another whole piece of baby potato inside her mouth. She was slightly becoming calm again after admitting the root cause of this misunderstanding.

Though it was quite distasteful and sad in her part that he only thought it was a mere business rivalry. Even though it was just a business rivalry issue, he should at least think of his wife and help her, right? Why would he even help her rivals? She was a bit confused.

But the devious subconscious formed another theory to make her depress. It deceitfully kept whispering ”It just means he likes more money and power than understanding you. You are just a contracted wife for him to use, remember that.”

Her mood got worse and she silently sighed. Why was her mind so good in self-inflicting such bad thoughts?

Hongqi put down the wine glass and rested his arm on the grand table. He sharply looked at his wife and curiously asked ”Personal? How come it became personal? I never heard of this. How did you become rivals with Mrs. Mao?” He somewhat guessed that it was some petty catfight of the rich young ladies.

”It's because of Mao Fa Dai. He was the root cause of Mao Zhilan's hostility towards me.” Xiulan didn't go into full details yet since she doesn't want to mention that Mao Fa Dai liked her before.

”What about him?” Hongqi didn't like where this conversation is going. Why that man being mentioned in this? Was he the root cause of the two women's conflict?

He suddenly eyed his wife. It's impossible that she had to fight a woman for another man. But in case she did… that man would be very lucky and stupid enough not to pick her!

Well… Hongqi was thankful that person was an idiot for not pursuing Xiulan. If that person continued to pursue her, Hongqi wouldn't be married to her.

”Er… I don't know to properly say this…” Xiulan mumbled. If she says that Mao Fa Dai used to like her, it will come out as arrogant and conceited. She's not that type of person. How can she reveal this in the most humble way?

”My love, just spill it.” Hongqi got impatient. There's was already a dark tone in his voice.

Xiulan stared at Hongqi, measuring if he was in a bad mood or not. ”Uhm… Mr. Mao used to be my batch mate and classmate back in college. You cannot say that we were friends. There are just instances that we can comfortably talk with each other. An acquaintance.”

”There she goes again with male friends as acquaintances. She also said that about Mo Dejiang.” Hongqi subconsciously remarked. He doesn't know how many male hot shot friends that his wife have but all of them were considered as an acquaintance.

”What about Mrs. Mao?” Hongqi was really impatient. He wanted to hear all of them in an instant!

”Let me finish before you ask, okay? This impatient husband.” Xiulan frowned and sassily scolded him. She drank some water first before continuing her story.

”That evil woman, Zhilan was a student from another department. She really likes Mao Fa Dai a lot! She likes him so much that she tries to fight and scare away women who were close to him. Since she has that animalistic behavior, I got in a fight with her just because she caught me talking to Fa Dai multiple times. Duh, of course I would talk to him since we were classmates.”

”…” Hongqi was listening intently and can't seem to find any faults yet on how their conflict became serious and grave.

”Go on.” He let her continue and he discreetly sips on his wine glass.
