Qin Zhen turned around and saw Chi Ming approaching, though he could not determine when he had come over.
Chi Mingâs gaze appeared calm, but his demeanor was forceful enough to be impossible to ignore. His eyes shifted from Qin Zhen and landed on Shen Qingyue. With his long-fingered hand lifted slightly and a soft, familiar tone, he said, âQingyue, come here.â
Hearing Chi Ming address Shen Qingyue so intimately, with the couple displaying subtle familiarity with each other, Qin Zhen felt thoroughly uncomfortable.
Understanding that Chi Ming was helping her out, Shen Qingyue did not hesitate. She took a step forward and walked towards Chi Ming. âHave you greeted your friends?â
âYes. They came early and have already left, â Chi Ming replied casually.
Qin Zhenâs eyes, directed at the two, seemed icy. âYour relationship is getting closer by the day. I almost forgot, you even had an abortion together. Naturally, your relationship is something others canât match.â He clenched his teeth, pausing between each word, âTruly shameless. How could the Shen family produce a daughter like you?â
Shen Qingyueâs face turned cold. âAbortion? Spare me your filthy mouth. The education of the Shen family canât be compared to the shamelessness of your Qin family!â
âStill pretending to be clueless? You went to the hospital for an abortion in the middle of the night, Ling Bingâer saw you! I even have your medical report in my hands. Youâre not going to admit it?â
At his words, Shen Qingyue recalled something and stared at Qin Zhen as though he were an idiot. âThat was someone with a special status. She couldnât be registered. I was helping her out⦠Forget it, why bother explaining to you? Even if you had the brains to discern right from wrong, you wouldnât be uttering such nonsense.â
Qin Zhen sneered. âDo you think Iâd believe that?â
âBelieve it or not, itâs none of my business,â Shen Qingyue could not be bothered with him any longer. She grabbed Chi Mingâs sleeve and said, âLetâs go. â
Qin Zhenâs eyes blazed as if on fire, a breath trapped between his chest and his throat. She was the one who had no shame, the one who did those things, and now she acted like this. Who did she think she was? Watching the two walk away, Qin Zhenâs anger caused him to kick the wall, leaving a footprint on it.
At that moment, a waiter happened to approach, probably new, frowning and saying, âSir, damaging hotel property maliciously requires compensation. Youâve dirtied our wall. Please come with meâ¦
Qin Zhen was speechless.
Private room.
Seeing Shen Qingyue return, Tang Fangmo hurried over, âI saw Qin Zhen come back with an unpleasant face. Did he say anything to you? Did he bully you?â Shen Qingyue casually replied, âItâs fine, weâre done talking.â
Seeing that she did not seem to be lying, Tang Fangmo felt somewhat relieved. âItâs good he knows whatâs good for him. If he dares to touch you, Iâll give up my future. I wonât let him off easily.â
Shen Qingyue joked, âThen why didnât I see you do that before?â
âWhen was that?â Tang Fangmoâs expression turned serious.
Seeing this, Shen Qingyue stopped teasing, âIt was about the incident between him and Wei Jiuâer, but itâs all in the past. Their reputations are ruined enough. I donât want anything to do with them anymore. Donât go looking for them.â She truly did not want any more connections with Qin Zhen. If it caused trouble for Tang Fangmo, it would not be worth it.
Tang Fangmo furrowed his brows, reluctantly agreeing with her.
Soon, he was called away by someone else.
Shen Qingyue was about to call Chi Ming to find a place to sit for a while when a lipstick fell beside her. She followed its trajectory and found Zhang Qianqian holding it. Perhaps due to recent embarrassment, Zhang Qianqian was now being very friendly to Shen Qingyue.
She smiled at Shen Qingyue, âMiss Shen, please stay put. Iâm just picking something up.â
Shen Qingyue did not say anything, but she also did not approach.
Zhang Qianqian crouched down to retrieve it. From Shen Qingyueâs angle, she could not quite make out Zhang Qianqianâs expression.
After Zhang Qianqian finished picking up the item, she stood up and smiled apologetically at Shen Qingyue. âIâm really sorry for inconveniencing you.â She was about to leave when someone suddenly blocked her way.
Chi Ming stared at her, his gaze devoid of warmth. âHand over your phone.â
Zhang Qianqian stiffened, pretending to be bold, âSir, please be mindful of your influence. Beware, I might accuse you of harassment.â She finished angrily and was about to leave.
But Chi Ming stopped her again, his voice deep, âIâm leaving you some dignity. Donât disgrace yourself further.â
Zhang Qianqian was intimidated by his aura, but she still clung tightly to her phone, showing no intention of letting go.
Shen Qingyue knew Chi Mingâs personality. He was not someone whoâd make a fuss over nothing. There must be something in Zhang Qianqianâs phoneâ¦.
