After hearing Qin Zhiyouâs words today, he took a long time to calm down.
After the preliminary phase of the Siyi Companyâs case, his studio quickly took on other projects.
In the evening, he was engaged in a voice call with his colleagues. He remained silent for a long time. Two of the designers were arguing about a data issue and were talking over each other. Neither was willing to admit defeat. One of them looked to Qin Zhigu for support, called out: âSimpson, what do you think? Is my plan better, or is Joeâs plan more suitable? Simpson, Simpson?â
Qin Zhigu was drawn into the conversation, but the first thing he said was: âXixi, I was wrong â¦â
The two on the phone were speechless, the argument interrupted, and naturally there was no further quarrel. One of them said, âForget it, letâs talk about it at work tomorrow.â
Qin Zhigu didnât care and immediately hung up the phone. He put his mobile phone on the bedside table, leaning back against the backrest of the chair and placing his hands behind his head.
The door of his room was not tightly closed, not intentionally though. But he indeed heard the sound of Qin Zhiyou storming out and Lu Weixi throwing a pillow.
Moreover⦠How is it that Qin Zhiyouâs words just now are so similar to the words that misunderstood the relationship between Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou?
He still remembers the Lantern Festival five years ago.
At that time, Bai Changyou and Luâs mother had divorced after several months of quarrel.
The divorce of Lu Weixiâs parents changed her from a lively and cheerful person to a silent and unsociable one. Furthermore, the woman who interfered with her parentsâ relationship, namely Caiâs mother, led to a breakup between her and Cai Yiren.
As for Cai Yiren, she invariably claimed, âI didnât know, these things are adultsâ business. I really know nothing.â Qin Zhigu was caught in the middle, with his own girlfriend on one side and a close friend on the other. Under normal circumstances, he would certainly support his girlfriend.
However, since an incident on the Qixi Festival last year, there had been a slight rift between him and Lu Weixi. He was waiting for her to explain, but she was silent. Later, she accused Cai Yiren and her mother of betrayal, calling Caiâs mother a mistress, the culprit for home-wrecking. Cai Yiren never defended herself, but only looked tearful and accepted all the criticism without a fight, which easily aroused menâs sympathy.
Maybe Caiâs mother was to blame, but what does this have to do with Cai Yiren? Lu Weixi ruthlessly scolded her. It might be acceptable once or twice and people could understand that she was venting her emotions, but as it happened over and over, people did not speak out but started to sympathize with the âinnocentâ Cai Yiren who was getting drawn into the issue.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Under these circumstances, Qin Zhigu was repeatedly âremindedâ that Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou were very close!
That was the brilliance of Cai Yiren then. She reminded Qin Zhigu, not only the one time on last yearâs Qixi Festival, but also indirectly through his roommates. His roommates were young and impassioned, and they hated the idea of being cheated by a girlfriend. So, every time they actively cooperated with Cai Yirenâs pace, helping her expose Lu Weixi as the unfaithful woman having an affair with two men!
And the Lantern Festival five years ago was the second day of the new semester.
Qin Zhigu would remember it for his whole life, his upper bunk roommate told him he saw Qin Zhiyou taking Lu Weixi home that day.
Of course, Qin Zhigu knew where Lu Weixi lived, so he rushed over. But when he got there, he witnessed a shocking scene!
