C44 (1/2)
The orange light of the table lamp could only envelop a small circle of space with himself as the center. Chai Nuannuan's face was partially hidden in the darkness.
The words came out of my mouth, startling me.
”Who told you that?”
”When I first came to night, there was a security guard who was drunk everyday. He would often pull the little girl who had just arrived at night to chat, and he said that he was a relative of the President Qi.”
”Relatives?”
Chai Nuannuan nodded her head, ”He went around saying that President Qi's wife killed President Qi's first love, if there is anyone else who wants to snatch President Qi from her, she will definitely not let them off.”
At that time, many of the people who had thoughts about the President Qi were all scared by him and retreated.
”How did Qi Zuo react?”
Even if what he said was true, he wouldn't allow such a character to discredit him, right?
”There's no reaction, right …” Not long after, the security guard was dismissed. People came and went in the dark of the night, and no one brought up these matters anymore. ”
After Chai Nuannuan finished speaking, she looked at me with a face full of worry, ”I don't know how much of a lie his words are. Xiaomo, you'd better be careful.”
”Also, since President Qi managed to build a place like Nightfall into his current size, I'm sure that he isn't a simple character …”
I patted her shoulder. ”Don't worry, I'll be careful.”
This conversation made both of us worry deeply. Lying on the soft pillow, I recalled every single detail from when I first met Qi Zuo.
Mrs. Chee seemed to be nothing more than a vague figure who had never been seen before, and he never once mentioned her, which made my impression of her go close to nothing for a while.
Until the banquet at the Soong Family, at the mouth of the Mrs. Lee who had riled up against me, this person suddenly had flesh and blood. This is probably the first time I have truly realized how much damage my actions with Qi Zuo would cause to her, who doesn't know the truth.
”Warm.”
”Hmm?”
”Have you seen Qi Zuo's wife?”
In the darkness, she thought for a while, ”I have seen her a few times. A few years ago, she would occasionally come to President Qi at night, and then she would slowly disappear.”
”She …” ”What does he look like?”
”I only managed to hold back a few glances. You know, she definitely wouldn't come over to greet us …”
”What does it look like? Is it very fierce?”
”Not really. He looked very gentle and gentle, and he spoke in a very soft voice. ”Then...” It's very typical of the women in Jiangnan, right? ”
I curled my lips. ”This doesn't match what you just said at all.”
She nudged me under the covers.
”Do you lack a string? Do bad people always write their thoughts on their forehead?”
With her identity, if she really wanted to do something to you, she wouldn't need to do it herself.
What Chai Nuannuan said made sense. Wasn't it also a trend in TV shows to not bark when biting people?
But maybe it was because I felt too sorry for her and subconsciously rejected such negative thoughts.
”I just feel that I can't completely believe the rumors and spread them. In the end, everyone heard about someone else. Look at how the rumors are spreading about me in the dark of the night.
Chai Nuannuan paused for a second.
”It's also possible.”
”But it's better to be careful. There are some people in the world who, if they fall deeply in love with another person, would really dare to do anything for the other person. ”
After a few more days of rest, Soong Shulan had already made an appointment with me early in the morning to come out.
He said that he would take Chai Nuannuan and I to see something that would absolutely ”surprise” everyone.
