A person was sitting at the table and a pot came from the sky.
Zu Qi didn’t expect that Xue Yanjing’s magical brain circuit could pull him into the water just because he was sitting there watching the excitement.
Zu Qi subconsciously wanted to refute, but he circled around and changed his words: “Uncle Xue, didn’t you like Sun Fei very much? After the divorce, you can be with Sun Fei openly, and other people won’t also stab you in the back, let alone say that Sun Fei and Xue Hao are third parties and illegitimate children.”
Sun Fei was hiding not far away and eavesdropping on the conversation in the dining room. When she heard Zu Qi say this, she suddenly saw a bright path in front of her eyes, and her long-dejected expression inexplicably had a little more color.
She looked at Xue Yanjing expectantly.
However, Sun Fei didn’t hear it, but Xue Yanjing heard the implication of Zu Qi’s words. He dared to think that this little bastard was beating around the bush and scolding him for cheating with Sun Fei and giving birth to a son.
“If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!” A furious Xue Yanjing slapped the table and stood up, “Don’t think that with Xue Jue protecting you, I won’t dare to do anything to you. As long as I, Xue Yanjing, am still here, if you have a breath, don’t even think about stepping into the door of our Xue family!”
Zu Qi’s face full of black lines: “…” Now I have not only stepped into the door of your Xue family, but also sat at your Xue family’s dining table to eat.
However, these words were just thoughts in Zu Qi’s mind. If Xue Yanjing was really pushed into a hurry and made to do something crazy, Butler Zhang next to him might not be able to stop him.
Zu Qi was extremely calm, but Weng Yuxiang couldn’t listen anymore. She stood up suddenly and glared at Xue Yanjing: “You come at me and still have a temper. What’s the point of venting on an innocent person? I think Xiao Qi is right. If you like Sun Fei so much, why don’t you marry her? It will just give your illegitimate son a name.”
Xue Yanjing turned to look at Weng Yuxiang, and then opened his eyes in disbelief: “Do you really want a divorce?”
Weng Yuxiang’s face was cold. She glanced at Sun Fei who was eavesdropping from behind a flower pot not far away: “I have endured thirty years which was long enough. How many thirty years can a person have in his life? Xue Yanjing, I gave up my work and ideals and worked hard to maintain this family, and I feel I have a clear conscience. The sorry person in the family has always been you!”
The last words were almost shouted by Weng Yuxiang. Her eyes couldn’t stop turning red, and even her vision was covered with a layer of blur. She felt confused, but she held back the possibility of crying.
Xue Yanjing was stunned by Weng Yuxiang’s roar, and it took him a long time to break out of his dazed state.
“Yuxiang…” Xue Yanjing looked moved and stretched out his hand to pull Weng Yuxiang, “It’s all my fault that I didn’t resist temptation before and did that bastardly thing. I know I was wrong. From now on, we, husband and wife, and Xiao Jue will have a good life, okay? Okay?”
Weng Yuxiang turned to avoid Xue Yanjing’s hand, her movements as fast as if she were avoiding a terrifying monster.
Before Weng Yuxiang could say anything, a deep voice from across the room suddenly interrupted what Xue Yanjing was about to say.
“Not good.”
Zu Qi looked up and followed the voice, and saw Xue Jue, wearing a black custom-made suit, walking over slowly. His handsome face was covered with a thin layer of ice, and his whole body exuded an obvious low pressure.
“Xiao Jue, you’re back…” Xue Yanjing forced an awkward smile. He had planned to come over when Xue Jue was not at home, but he didn’t expect that Xue Jue would come back early.
Xue Jue said nothing, taking off his coat and tie and handing them to Butler Zhang beside him, while looking at Xue Yanjing coolly.
Xue Yanjing’s scalp became numb due to Xue Jue’s meaningful gaze. He couldn’t help but rub the goosebumps on his arms, and the fear of Xue Jue deepened in his heart.
It had only been ten days since they last met, and his eldest son’s thoughts seemed even more elusive. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his face.
Until he got closer, Xue Jue, who was only wearing a white shirt, pulled up the chair next to Zu Qi and sat down. Then he slightly rolled up his cuffs twice, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and prepared to eat.
Looking up, he saw Xue Yanjing and Weng Yuxiang standing blankly in front of the dining table. Then Xue Jue raised his chin with a cold expression.
“Everyone, please sit down.”
Xue Yanjing, whose whole body was tense like a string, quickly sat down on the chair as if he had been granted amnesty. Weng Yuxiang sighed and sat down silently.
This meal was quite depressing. Xue Yanjing was the only one who kept talking non-stop throughout the whole meal, but no one at the dinner table listened to what he was talking about.
Weng Yuxiang and Zu Qi’s heads were almost buried in their rice bowls. In comparison, Xue Jue was too calm. Not only did he keep picking up dishes for Zu Qi, but he also kept telling him to eat more.
After the meal, the servants came to clear the table, and Zu Qi saw a familiar figure among these people.
Why was Sun Fei here?
Zu Qi remembered that Sun Fei was assigned by Butler Zhang to clean doors and windows. Her daily working hours were irregular and she rarely appeared in front of Zu Qi and Weng Yuxiang.
“Sun Fei.” Butler Zhang suddenly said, then walked forward and pointed to the other side of the dining table, “That side hasn’t been wiped clean yet.”
At this moment, Sun Fei’s face turned red with shame. She originally just wanted to hide behind the table. She just wanted to secretly glance at Xue Yanjing in the dark before leaving, but before leaving, she was caught by Sister Zhou, who was also a maid, and was forced to come over to help clear the table.
Sun Fei had always looked beautiful and charming in front of Xue Yanjing. When had she ever been so disgraced?
She wished she could find a hole in the ground immediately and hide her face tightly with the veil, preventing Xue Yanjing from seeing anything.
But the reality was that she had to follow Butler Zhang’s instructions, take the rag and head to the other side of the dining table, which was also the direction where Xue Yanjing and Weng Yuxiang were sitting.
Unexpectedly, just after taking a few steps, Sun Fei suddenly tripped on something under her feet.
When she suddenly reacted, her uncontrollable body had already fallen straight forward – but what greeted her was not the cold hard floor, but a soft chest. Sun Fei quickly raised her head, only to realize that her whole body had been thrown into Xue Yanjing’s arms.
Looking at Xue Yanjing’s face so close, Sun Fei’s mind flashed through the grievances and difficulties she had received over the past few days, and her eyes and nose suddenly became sore at the same time.
“Husband…”
Sun Fei shouted with a trembling cry, and immediately sad tears burst out of her eyes, falling continuously like beads with broken strings.
Zu Qi and Weng Yuxiang watched helplessly as Sun Fei hugged Xue Yanjing and cried out of breath. They looked at each other and were speechless.
In the past, Sun Fei’s crying appearance could be described as “pear blossoms with rain”, but now she had a sallow complexion and a sluggish look, as if she was an oil lamp that was about to burn out. No matter how you look at it, she could not be described as “beautiful”.
Zu Qi turned his head and saw Xue Jue sitting on the chair with his arms folded. He looked at this scene with gusto. He immediately understood that the maid who dared to trip Sun Fei just now was specially arranged by him.
After feeling Zu Qi’s gaze, Xue Jue raised his eyebrows, approached Zu Qi and asked in a low voice: “What do you think he will do?”
Zu Qi raised his eyes and looked at Sun Fei, who had hugged Xue Yanjing tightly with a strange expression, then replied: “Perhaps he will plead with you on behalf of Sun Fei.”
After all, Sun Fei was his lover who gave birth to a son for him, and Zu Qi felt that Xue Yanjing would not seriously abandon her.
Hearing this, Xue Jue shook his head slightly, and said with a half-smile, “You don’t understand him very well.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Yanjing, who was getting angry, pushed Sun Fei away who was leaning on him, and his strength was so great that Sun Fei was caught off guard and knocked her head on the table leg, grimacing in pain.
A trace of obvious disgust appeared in Xue Yanjing’s eyes, and he reached out to pat the clothes stained by the rag in Sun Fei’s hand, the anger in his tone almost bursting out.
“Don’t you have eyes? How can you do something so clumsy? Even idiots are more useful than you!”
Sun Fei covered the back of her head in severe pain and stared at Xue Yanjing with despair. It took her a long time to digest Xue Yanjing’s unpleasant words. Then her whole face was soaked with tears.
“How can you say that to me?!” Sun Fei cried.
“Who made you so stupid?” Xue Yanjing insulted her unceremoniously, “You can’t even do something as simple as cleaning the table. You only waste food in this world. You are such a waste!”
Sun Fei was already crying in tears, then she threw the rag to the ground, got up and ran out of the dining room crying.
Xue Yanjing watched Sun Fei’s running figure eagerly, and unconsciously pursed his lips. There was some hesitation in his eyes, but he still did not chase after her.
Not long after, Xue Yanjing followed Xue Jue to the study room to talk about things. Weng Yuxiang was not in a good mood and returned to the bedroom early.
Zu Qi was the only one sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and scrolling through Weibo on his mobile phone. It wasn’t until ten o’clock in the evening that he yawned sleepily, then turned off the TV and went back to his room to sleep.
Zu Qi’s sleep was very deep, and it would be difficult to wake him up unless there was a particularly violent noise. However, he had a very uneasy sleep tonight, dreaming intermittently, and any sound outside the window would wake him up.
He didn’t know how long it took, but Zu Qi suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his abdomen.
Zu Qi, who was still dazed just now, suddenly woke up. He covered his stomach with difficulty. In just one minute, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Maybe he was about to give birth…
Zu Qi gritted his teeth and endured the pain that kept coming like a wave.
He had no experience in this area and had never even seen other people’s pregnancy and childbirth processes. He didn’t know how to relieve the pain, so he could only endure it and at the same time pick up his mobile phone and dial Xue Jue’s number.
The beep rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Zu Qi’s face was covered in cold sweat, his mouth was slightly open and he was gasping for air. He felt like he could hardly breathe, and the pain in his abdomen was like a sharp needle pricking his brain nerves.
He couldn’t even do basic thinking…
He used his last strength to dial Weng Yuxiang’s number, and the call was quickly answered.
“I…I have a stomachache…” Zu Qi’s voice was hoarse, and the hand holding the phone was trembling.
Weng Yuxiang suddenly became nervous. She hurriedly got out of bed, put on her clothes and ran out of the bedroom. She consoled him with some confusion: “Xiao Qi, don’t panic, relax. I’ll be right here. Just hold on!”
