Chapter 81 - Even A Dog Can Bite Viciously (1/2)
At that moment, Zhiyuan's gaze was icier than the Arctic. He looked so dangerous and cold with the murderous intent in his eyes as if he would strangle Xiaosi right this moment.
Instead of answering him, he landed another punch in his face that harshly tilted it on the other side. A small cut appeared on his cheek with a thin line of blood trickling by.
Xiaosi's relaxed demeanor vanished as he turned just as cold as Zhiyuan. They both stood face to face and he narrowed his eyes. ”This is where it stops, Mr. Han Zhiyuan.”
Zhiyuan took a threatening step towards him. ”No Zhu Xiaosi. This is where I will end it once and for all. You started it seven years back by forcing yourself on Caihong that night.”
His eyes slightly widened in surprise.
”I will end this cycle of pain and suffering seven years later.”
Xiaosi quickly connected the dots. It was An Meiying who told him.
Xiaosi dangerously smiled. ”So, you finally got your answer.”
”No Xiaosi. I haven't got my answers. I have yet to know how the man who I treated like my best friend and brother could be so disgusting? How did my best friend with whom I laughed and shared everything could forcefully sleep with a woman and ruin her dignity? Was I so blind in trusting you? Was I so foolish that I couldn't see your true colors all that time?”
He pulled his shirt and his jaw clenched in anger. ”When did Zhu Xiaosi become a man who disrespected a woman like that? You turned out to be a snake hiding his fangs from Caihong and me, and you let them out on that graduation party night, didn't you?”
Xiaosi silently heard his outburst.
Zhiyuan angrily laughed. ”And you dare to say that you came back for revenge? Do you want to destroy me? It should be me destroying your fucking life for raping Caihong! She trusted you as her friend, Xiaosi!”
Just then, Caihong and Xinyi rushed in the room and saw the whole mess. Xiaosi was injured while Xinyi noticed the faint marks on Zhiyuan's knuckles. That just said how hard he hit him.
She ran up to his side and clutched his arm. ”Zhiyuan, what happened? Why are you suddenly…”
Xinyi was taken aback to see him so angry. She felt the danger and alarm surrounding him.
Caihong saw the bruises and cut on his face and froze.
Xiaosi burst into laughter. ”My dear wife. It seems that our secret isn't a secret anymore.”
She froze.
”W-what?”
”Haha. Your ex-boyfriend knows of what happened seven years back between us.”
Xinyi frowned. She looked at Zhiyuan and hesitated.
”Zhiyuan…can you please tell me what happened?”
Caihong paled more and more. She trembled as sweat trickled down her forehead.
He knows... Zhiyuan knows…
Impossible. How can Zhiyuan know anything!?
That night was a thorn in her heart and now Zhiyuan knew that ugly side of hers.
Xinyi urged. ”Zhiyuan. What did Mrs. An say to you that got you so angry?”
”Ask Mr. Zhu Xiaosi. Let him tell you what happened.”
Silence.
”What's wrong, Xiaosi? Why aren't you saying anything now? Why are you so quiet? Why aren't you admitting that you had forcibly slept with Caihong that night!?”
Xinyi froze. Her head jerked towards Caihong and saw her trembling and shaking as she held her arms and hugged herself.
”That's why she left China without saying anything! First, you slept with her and then you forced her to marry you.”
Xinyi was aghast.
Suddenly, she recalled the conversation she had with Xiaosi.
”You loved Caihong?”
”As much as you loved Zhiyuan.”
She looked at him in disbelief.
Did he do that because he felt jealous of Zhiyuan so he…
Xiaosi said, ”Why are you so angry? Are you shocked that you who treated me as your underling took away your woman from you? Is it that unbelievable?”
”Underling? Are you drunk?”
”Mr. Han. You can stop your acting now. Really. You should have become an actor instead of a CEO. The whole college knew how you treated me as your dog just because you belonged to a wealthy family. Why would you bother befriending a poor and orphan like me?”
