Ruan Danchen, “...”

In the past, why had she not felt that his personality was in fact so irritating when she listened to the description given by Song Yu?

After Qi Chenglin opened the door for her, he passed the keys back to her and left. However, Ruan Danchen could not ignore the glance that he had given her before he left. She did not understand the meaning behind his glance, which made her nervous about it. She felt that he had known about something, and it made her feel uncomfortable and scared.

Ruan Danchen dipped her head. She buried her face into her palms and started to tremble.

...

...

While the Qi family was happily celebrating for the wedding, the Jian family was having a different atmosphere.

Zhou Mingyan was sitting on the sofa at home. Her hand was holding onto a cellphone while cursing and swearing, “That bastard. He hasn’t come home since he left the court two days ago. When he didn’t come home the day before yesterday, I thought that he was just trying to keep his dignity by throwing a tantrum. I thought that he was just trying to win over me while avoiding me at the same time. I thought the reason he did not return was so he wouldn’t feel ashamed about it, or he just felt embarrassed. All right then, I let him off the hook. However, as a result, he did not come home yesterday and hasn’t come back today either! Tell me! What is he doing? Is he going against us now?

“Tell me, what is he trying to do?!” Zhou Mingyan raised her hand, which was holding onto the phone, and gesticulated frantically. “That stupid thing. Two days ago, he even said those things about us in the faces of those reporters and the Qi family. Is he now siding with other people instead of us? What is he doing? He’s even gone to the extent of apologizing to the Qi family. He apologized to Qi Chengyue on behalf of us! What right does he have to do that? Is he trying to please the Qi family?! Is he feeling that it’s a pity to miss the opportunity to have Qi Chengyue as his daughter-in-law?! Because of her, he even wanted to divorce me!”

Zhou Mingyan was furious, which made her spit while cursing. Her neck was tense, and blue veins had even appeared on her wrinkled neck.

Her neck was tensed while shouting with her pale and anxious face. “Is it because he had had his eyes on Qi Chengyue? That shameful thing! He might have kept his mouth shut most of the time but the truth is, he is just a goody-goody! To be more accurate, he is just a good-for-nothing! If I hadn’t been supporting this family, he would have gotten himself bullied by the others a long time ago already! So, am I or am I not unreasonable?! If I was gentle and soft, who would stand up and be responsible then? The temperamental personality that I have now is caused by him! It is due to his irresponsibility! But now, he is blaming me in return for it! What’s worse, he even shouted in public that he is going to divorce me!”

As Zhou Mingyan was talking, she felt that she had been treated unfairly. Her eyes were red and her hand kept wiping away the tears that did not seem to be stopping. She sobbed and said, “All these years, I’ve been constantly busying myself and worrying for this family. I’ve always been willing to do anything, so that the family will benefit from it. Even if it means doing something shameful, I’ll not care about it too. In the eyes of other people, I’m a person who has no shame, a shrew. But, I could care less about it! It’s all right, because I know that I’m doing all these for the sake of the family! But, Jian Shibo, who is he to describe me in such a bad way! If he was capable of supporting the family, would I have become a person like this?

“Who in the world doesn’t want to be gentle and soft? Who in the world doesn’t want to be like Lin Daiyu and be cared for by the man? I also want to be like Xia Wenna, who has nothing to do every day and doesn’t need to worry about anything. I want to be like her, who can spend some money when she’s bored, or play cards in her free time. If I could have a life similar to hers, I would also be gentle and soft. If I had had a life like hers, I would also be smiling every day. If I had had a life like hers, I would also be the elegant lady who has the money to spend. However, he blames me now in return for what I’ve done. What kind of person a wife will be, is determined by the capability of the husband. However, he dislikes me instead, when he is the one who is lacking the ability to support the family!”

Jian Yi, who had been sitting beside her, was also irritated by her complaints. However, he remained silent with a frown. He did not interrupt Zhou Mingyan.

He understood Zhou Mingyan well. He must allow Zhou Mingyan to express herself when she was in this kind of situation. He must listen to her complaints. If he had interrupted her with his opinions, there would be no end to her talk.

Suddenly, Zhou Mingyan stopped like a gun that had stopped shooting. She stood up and pointed at the entrance of the living room, yelling, “Jian Shibo, you are finally back! What happened? Is it because you have finished spending your money? If you don’t even have the ability to support yourself, why are you acting as if you have?!”

Jian Shibo pursed his lips. He looked like he had not been sleeping these past two days. Both of his eyes were red while his jaw was clenched.

He looked at Zhou Mingyan, it was unknown if he was in anger or disappointment.

“Now only do I know that in your eyes, I’ve been such a useless crap all along. Then, it’s been so unfair for you to live with me all these years. I should not have married you in the first place. Since you think that I’m a curse, I should have left you with the rich people. Then, you could have been a rich man’s wife and enjoyed your life. In fact, it’s me who have caused you to lose the chance like that!” cried Jian Shibo ironically. He laughed while nodding his head slightly.

Zhou Mingyan gritted her teeth. She bit the bullet and said, “Since you know your mistake, don’t act harshly from now on!”

“There’s no need to.” Jian Shibo stared with his bloodshot eyes and said, ” Your grievance will be put to an end today. From now on, you won’t be living with me anymore. I’m back today to pack my things and leave. By the way, you kept the other family register, right? Next Monday, bring the family register along and wait at the entrance of Municipal Bureau of Civil Affairs. The moment they start their work, we’ll go and register the divorce.”

Zhou Mingyan froze. She did not expect Jian Shibo to be serious about it this time. Had he already made up his mind to get a divorce with her?

In fact, Jian Shibo had never mentioned about divorce all these years.

Zhou Mingyan shivered. She was starting to feel scared.

At this moment, Jian Shibo had already gone into his bedroom and took out a hand luggage from the bottom of the wardrobe. He took out his clothes and thrust them into the luggage without folding.

He heard footsteps stomping and the next thing he saw at the corner of his eye, was Zhou Mingyan rushing into the bedroom.

“Jian Shibo, do you really want a divorce?” Zhou Mingyan’s tone was more polite now. She was not as arrogant as before.

Jian Shibo did not raise his head. He continued to pack his things. He spoke coldly, “That day, you were the one who mentioned divorce in the first place. Since you are also dissatisfied with me and think that I’ve ruined your whole life, I’m willing to give up and set you free. Then, you can live comfortably and stop struggling to deal with a disappointment like me.”

“I...I didn’t mean it like that. Jian Shibo, you’re not a young man anymore. Why are you making such a fuss? If you behave well, I will turn a blind eye to what has happened. I won’t be angry at you anymore.” Zhou Mingyan was really starting to be anxious about it. Her tone was softer than before.

“There’s no need to,” said Jian Shibo coldly, still not looking at her. “I don’t need your forgiveness.”

He shoved the last of his clothes into the luggage. Finally, he stood up. “Zhou Mingyan, now you are still insisting that you’ve done nothing wrong. You’re even thinking that the one who should be forgiving is you. You are really hopeless. I’m definitely going to divorce you, no matter what you say.”

“Lao Jian! What are you talking about?!” Zhou Mingyan went closer to him. “We are already an old couple. Quarrels are common, but there’s no such thing as a sudden divorce due to conflicts. That day...What I’ve said that day was out of anger. I’m not serious about the divorce. Lao Jian, I know I have a bad temper, I’ll change. We’ve already been married for so many years, our son has already become an adult. We’re also going to have our grandchild soon. Why should we divorce in such a time?”

Zhou Mingyan grabbed Jian Shibo’s arms. “Lao Jian, I’ve done wrong. Please forgive me. It’s really not a big deal, there’s really no need for a divorce!”

Jian Shibo chuckled. “You know that you’ve done wrong? How can you be wrong? Everything that you’ve done is for the family. I’m a piece of crap! If it’s not because of me, you wouldn’t have to stand up and support this family. I did not expect you to see me as a person like this in your eyes. Since you have been looking down on me, why would you still want to continue your struggling life with me?”

He did not expect that the wife he had been living with all these years, had been looking down on him. He thought that he had always been the one tolerating. He did not expect Zhou Mingyan to be tolerating him at the same time.

Jian Shibo broke free from her hand. When Zhou Mingyan realized that Jian Shibo had already made up his mind to leave, she was anxious. She rushed out of the room and came back in with Jian Yi. “Jian Yi, Jian Yi. Quick, give advice to your dad. Why does he want to divorce suddenly? We are already at this stage of life where we’ve been married for so many years. What should I do if he wants to divorce all of a sudden? Lao Jian, I know that I’m always making you angry and very straightforward. However, the things that I’ve just said was out of anger, don’t treat them seriously! We have been husband and wife for so many years, what should I do if you suddenly dump me?”

“Dad, everything can be discussed,” said Jian Yi. He was feeling irritated. Qi Chengyue had recently divorced him and he did not get any benefit from it. Suddenly, Guan Xiaolin’s family side seemed to be hesitant in keeping their promise too.

Besides, when he went out to look for a job, there was no company who was willing to hire him. The Qi family had definitely passed on their message to them.

Plus, due to his pride, he was not willing to go to the companies that were not as big as Qilin. He did not want to be an ordinary employee when he had been a department manager in Qilin.

He had had enough to worry about. However, his parents were now creating another problem for him.

“It’s needless.” Jian Shibo was also disappointed with his son. Since Jian Yi was young, Jian Shibo had always been proud of him. Jian Yi had never made Jian Shibo worry about his studies or work. He had been solving problems by himself all along.

Therefore, when Jian Shibo was in the company, he had been proud of Jian Yi. Even when he was at his old friends’ gathering, he would also be proud of Jian Yi.

Then, he realized that Jian Yi had been playing dirty tricks to achieve his success. Jian Shibo was disappointed. However, he did not utter a word about it.

He drew the drawer and took his pay card. When Zhou Mingyan saw that Jian Shibo was starting to deal with financial matters, her eyes turned red anxiously.

“Jian Shibo, what are you doing?!” Zhou Mingyan plunged at Jian Shibo and clung onto his arm.

“What is it?! I’m just taking my pay card!” Jian Shibo broke free from her and slid his pay card into his pocket. “This is the money that I’ve earned myself. Why can’t I take it?”

“You!” Zhou Mingyan was shivering in anger. “Jian Shibo, you have made up your mind about the divorce, haven’t you? No matter what I say, you won’t change your mind again, will you?”

Jian Shibo did not speak, but his expression showed it all.

“Alright. This is your pay, you take it. But you can never touch the passbook in the house. This is the only savings for our family. Our son’s and my savings are in it. Don’t you ever think about taking it away from us!” said Zhou Mingyan. “This house is bought by our son, you can never divide it equally with me! If you want a divorce, you’ll only leave with these old clothes of yours and your pay card. Don’t you ever think about anything else in the house! When you can only leave like that, do you still want a divorce?”

At this moment, only did Jian Shibo see Zhou Mingyang’s true colors. After staring at Zhou Mingyan for a long time, he smiled and shook his head disappointedly. It was a sarcastic smile.

Without speaking a word, he took his things and left.

Zhou Mingyan shivered when she heard the door being shut with a bang. All of a sudden, she burst out crying. She screamed and collapsed to the floor, and both her hands could not stop slapping the floor. “He wants a divorce. He wants a divorce! Waah!”

The words that she had spoken to Jian Shibo, they were just to scare him. She just wanted to make it clear to him that he would not be benefiting anything from the divorce. She just wanted to threaten him from having a divorce with her. However, she did not expect that Jian Shibo was still willing to leave with the pay card only.

Jian Shibo had a low salary, which was too little for him to live. Not to mention, it was also insufficient for him to pay a one-month rent in B city. He would only be able to find a room in Sixth Ring road.

“Jian Yi, Jian Yi. Help your mom, help me. What should we do? You dad has really made up his mind to divorce me!” Zhou Mingyan was crying with her tears streaming down her face. She sniveled, unable to breathe with her stuffy nose. Breathing with her mouth, she said, “We should never divorce, we cannot divorce! Jian Yi, find your dad and tell him about it! Persuade him, can you?”

While looking at Zhou Mingyan, Jian Yi could not help but feel irritated. Tears were running down her face endlessly. However, he had no choice but to control his anger. He said in a deep voice, “I know, I’ll go and persuade him. Wait for my news at home. Don’t think too much.”

“Okay okay okay!” answered Zhou Mingyan hastily. She stood up, but her face was still buried in her hands.

Jian Yi took the car keys and left to seek for Jian Shibo.

...

...

At night, Qi Chengzhi threw an appreciation party at Red Roof Club. He had invited his group of friends which included Yan Beicheng.

Qi Chengji and Ruan Danchen were already drunk. Therefore, they could not make it. Qi Chengji was his brother, he could definitely care less about his absence. As for Ruan Danchen, Song Yu would need to treat her to a meal another day. Being the bridesmaid for today was not an easy task.

After Qi Chenglin had sent Ruan Danchen back home, he came to Red Roof Club too. He did not say a word about Ruan Danchen’s incident.

During the day, all of the Great Eight Families’ elderly were at the wedding. Therefore, they did not go beyond measure to tease the bride and groom.

Now, there was no elderly watching over them anymore. Besides, since all of them were close to each other, Yan Beicheng and the others had let go of themselves.

It was a wedding day today, even Qi Chengzhi did not refuse to take part in their games. As long as their requests were not beyond measure, he would accept their challenges.

Qi Chengzhi sat on the sofa and put down his wine glass. He was getting a little tipsy because of Yan Beicheng and the others. They had been encouraging him to drink. Now, his fair and charming face was starting to go pink.

When Qi Chengzhi got close to Song Yu, Song Yu could smell the alcohol on him other than the familiar clean scent of his. However, she could not differentiate which type of liquor it was.

Yan Beicheng and the others had been making him drink different types of liquor. Beer, red wine, white wine, whiskey, all of them were included.

When all of them were mixed and drank together, he would get drunk faster.

Qi Chengzhi got closer to Song Yu, putting his chin on her skinny shoulder this time. He could feel the hard bones on her shoulder.

He was getting light-headed due to the drinks. His dark eyes seemed to have been covered with a layer of fog when he observed the fair skin before him.

The skin on her neck was getting pinkish due to his breath. Above the neck was her fair and soft cheeks. They were smooth and fair, as if they had no pores. He loved what he saw.

He guided his gaze from the cheeks to her red ears. Her ears had gone red entirely and they looked juicy, like suet white jade with pinkish color.

Under the lights, he could see her soft and fine hair on the juicy ears of hers. Due to the lights, they looked like a white shade floating over her ears.

Qi Chengzhi’s heart melted because of what he saw. Both his hands sneaked around her waist and he brought her into his arms. He breathed in the scent on her body and felt dizzier due to it.

“Darling,” he spoke softly. His voice sounded deep and hoarse. He even dragged the last word as if he was whining. Plus, due to his deep voice and lightheadedness, he sounded sexy.

It was as if his call was a long and thin finger. She felt ticklish and her toes curled.

Qi Chengzhi watched the redness creeping up to Song Yu’s cheeks. He felt that the warmth on her cheeks was boiling the scent of her skin.

The room was rowdy. Therefore, no one had heard Qi Chengzhi speak.

However, his posture was starting to attract their attention. He was clinging onto Song Yu as if he was trying to get her attention. Everyone now had their eyes turned toward him and shock was written all over their faces.

Yan Beicheng and the others, even Qi Chenglin, as the younger brother of Qi Chengzhi, had never seen this side of Qi Chengzhi.

He was acting like a child, clinging himself onto Song Yu.

Qi Chengzhi was almost drunk now. Therefore, he did not notice the change in atmosphere. If he was not drunk, he would never do something like this in the faces of Yan Beicheng and the others, because he was afraid of hurting his image.

However, Song Yu noticed their stares and was embarrassed about it. Her face turned redder and could not make out a word.

Seeing that Song Yu was not reacting, Qi Chengzhi pressed his face closer to her, shaking her waist with his arms around her. “Darling, I’m calling for you. Why don’t you react?”

The room had been in complete silence ever since everyone’s attention was on him. Now, his words were clearly heard by all of them.

The manner, accent and the look of him seeking for attention, stunned everyone else.

Song Yu, “...”

Qi Chengzhi sighed softly and said, “I’m drunk today and will not have the energy to satisfy you tonight.”

“...” Song Yu seemed to have heard the explosion in her head. ‘Bang!’ Her entire face went red and burned.

“Ahem!” Qi Chenglin masked his chuckle by coughing into his fist.

Yan Beicheng laughed out loud with tears in his eyes. He took out his cellphone and took a picture of the drunk Qi Chengzhi. Unfortunately, he did not have the ability to predict the future. If he had known that Qi Chengzhi would be blurting out such a sentence, he would have recorded it.

However, Qi Chengzhi did not remember a thing the next morning. He had no memory of the incident last night.

After making the bed, he took out his cellphone and opened Wechat. As a result, he saw the picture Yan Beicheng had sent last night. In the picture, he was hugging Song Yu.

Qi Chengzhi raised his brows and asked, “Was this taken last night?”

After looking at the picture, Song Yu turned her gaze to him. “You don’t remember?”

Silently, Qi Chengzhi saved the picture to his album and kept the cellphone. “What have I done last night?”

Song Yu blushed and repeated what he had said last night.

Qi Chengzhi, “...”

Song Yu thought that he was being embarrassed about it. However, he pulled her into his arms.

“So, did I satisfy you last night?” he asked with hoarseness in his voice. He lowered his head and his gaze reached her cheeks. He brushed his soft, burning lips on the smooth skin beneath her eyes.

“Come on, let’s go down and have our breakfast.” Blushing, Song Yu pushed his chest away softly.

“No, have I or have I not satisfied you? It’s just a simple question with a simple answer.” Qi Chengzhi trapped her with his arms around her waist. “It’s simple. Just tell me and we won’t have to be late for our breakfast.”

“We are going back to the old mansion, aren’t we? Since we’ve already woken up late in the morning, we should be quicker.” Song Yu, who had her cheeks flushing, still did not answer him.

“We’ll leave after I hear your answer,” Qi Chengzhi insisted. He was not going to let go of her no matter what.

“Satisfied,” answered Song Yu softly. As she was going to push him away, he tightened his arms around her.

“How have I satisfied you?” asked Qi Chengzhi again.

Song Yu, “...”

Though he was drunk last night, his faculties were not affected. He had taken the chance to try everything when he was drunk.
