When Tang Beibei ran up to Ruan Qi, she heard her cry and roar, âHow can I be his mistress? We are in a serious relationship!â
Ruan Qiâs mother reprimanded, âBut that man has a fiancee. Donât you know
that?â
Ruan Qi was puzzled. âHow do you know he has a fiancee?â
Ruan Qi told her mother a few days ago that she had a boyfriend and even showed her mother a photo of him, hoping to get her motherâs blessings.
However, when her mother saw the photo, she was very unhappy and told
Ruan Qi to study hard and not be in any romantic relationship.
Ruan Qi argued with her at that time, saying that she was an adult and could be in a relationship.
It was also because of that fight that Ruan Qi didnât get her household register.
Song Zhou even discussed with her after that to find an excuse to visit her mother. Ruan Qi thought about her motherâs attitude and did not let him go. But she didnât expect her mother to know about Song Zhouâs fiancee.
Ruan Qiâs mother passed Ruan Qi her phone. âThis man is on the news. He has a fiancee and theyâre very close. Qiqi, have you been deceived?
Ruan Qi looked at her motherâs phone. It was really a photo of Song Zhou; he was hugging Mi Qing.
Ruan Qi squeezed the phone and gritted her teeth.
Song Zhou!
She turned to leave, but her mother stopped her and told her earnestly, âQiqi, listen to Mom and break up with that man. Heâs lying to you about your relationship. Heâs a bad person.
âWe donât even know what happened in this photo.â
âIs there even a need to investigate? Itâs obvious that he is a two-timing scumbag.â
Ruan Qiâs mother continued angrily, âQiqi, I sent you here to get a tertiary education, but why are you still so stupid? How can you fall for a scumbag?
Whatâs the point of going to university when you are like this?â
Ruan Qi took a deep breath and emphasized, âTil tell you again. This man will never lie to me. The matter hasnât been investigated. Besides, Iâm an adult and I can do my own thing. Stop interfering.
Ruan Qiâs mother was furious. She growled, âStop interfering? Do you want to wait until you are pregnant before you regret it?â
âQiqi, tell Mom honestly. Did that man trick you into sleeping with him?â Ruan Qi was annoyed. âMind your own business. I can handle my own affairs.â Since Ruan Qi didnât answer her motherâs question, she took it as a yes.
âRuan Qi, how can you have so little respect for yourself and give your innocence away without good reason? Is this how I raised you?â
Ruan Qi laughed suddenly as she thought about her biological father with a
hint of sadness in her eyes. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow did you raise me? You taught me that a man without money isnât worthy of marriage or love!â
âWhy donât you go and interfere in your sonâs life? Iâll take care of my own business. Donât worry. Even if I died outside, I wouldnât expect you to collect my corpse!â
Ruan Qiâs mother was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed speechlessly at her daughter for a long time.
Ruan Qi rubbed her cheek as she said, âI owe you this slap. Iâm an adult now, so
I donât need you to be my guardian.â
Ruan Qi turned to leave, but her mother tried to stop her. âQiqi, Mom has been too impulsive. Donât be angry with me. I tried to reason with you, but you wouldnât listen.â
âQiqi, Iâve met more people and seen more things than you. You are not seeing things clearly. That man isnât a good man. He doesnât deserve you. Donât be stubborn.â
Ruan Qi opened Fu Jinâs car door and turned to look at her biological mother.
She paused for a few seconds and then said, âYou look down on my fatherâs feelings for you and want to live the life of a rich lady. But Iâm different from you. Iâm not afraid of hard work. I want true love!â
Ruan Qi got into the car without hesitation and slammed the door shut. As the car started moving, Tang Beibei turned to look at Ruan Qiâs mother, who was still standing by the roadside. She then looked at Ruan Qiâs red eyes and held her slightly cold hand.
âDonât worry. Itâll be alright.â
Ruan Qi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a choked voice, âShe didnât want my father and brought me to her new home but didnât care about me at all. Sheâs talking to me about love? How laughable!â
Tang Beibei didnât know how to comfort Ruan Qi. She looked at Fu Jin, who didnât know what to say either. He drove to the dance studio in silence.
During dance practice, Ruan Qi made a few mistakes and Tang Beibei asked her to take a break.
Ruan Qi was not in the mood to dance at all. She picked up her phone and found a quiet place to call Song Zhou.
Song Zhou was still confused when he heard her ask him about the news online. He opened his phone to check and saw his photo. His handsome face darkened.
âThe night before last, Mi Qing said that she was drunk and asked me to pick her up. I didnât expect things to turn out like this.â
Ruan Qi scoffed. âDidnât Mi Qing agree to cancel your engagement? Why did she tell the media that sheâs your fiancee? Song Zhou, donât you owe me an explanation?â
Her grave tone made Song Zhou panic.
âIâll ask her and get an explanation. Ruan Qi, please don tâ¦
âStop. If you canât resolve this, I wonât let you off!â Ruan Qi hung up the phone and rubbed her cheek. She tongued the inside of her cheeks, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Song Zhouâs heart sank when he heard the call disconnected tone on his phone. He tried to call Mi Qing, but he couldnât reach her.
He gritted his teeth and drove to Mi Qingâs hotel to find her.
He knocked on her door, but there was no answer.
He went to ask the hotel staff and found out that Mi Qing had gone out. He waited for almost two hours before Mi Qing came back.
He caught her at her door and was about to ask her when Mi Qing said with a smile, âLetâs talk inside. Iâm a celebrity. It wonât look good if Iâm followed and photographed.â
Song Zhou tried his best to respect her and followed her into her room.
He was about to speak when Mi Qing said, âBrother Song Zhou, Iâm sorry. I had no choice. Someone took photos and videos of us and posted them online. I said that you are my fiance to protect my reputation.â
Song Zhou frowned. âYou should have discussed it with me. It isnât just about you.â
Mi Qing revealed an especially aggrieved look. âIâm sorry, Brother Song Zhou. I panicked. I really know my mistake now.â
Song Zhou took a deep breath and discussed patiently with her.
âAlright, if you know your mistake, go to the media and clarify that weâve already called off our engagement.â
Mi Qing hesitated. âItâs not impossible for me to clarify things, but Brother Song Zhou, I need your help. If you do me this favor, Iâll clarify things for you.â âWhat favor do you need?â
Mi Qing replied with a smile, âJack is getting engaged to another woman. I would like you to accompany me to his wedding and then tell him that I found a better man after leaving him.â
âBrother Song Zhou, just put on an act with me to help me regain face. After that, Iâll cooperate with you and clarify that we have nothing to do with each other.â
Song Zhou gritted his teeth. âMi Qing, enough is enough. You must clarify this matter as soon as possible!â
Mi Qing sat on the sofa coquettishly. She blinked and tears fell. âWhy are you yelling at me? Iâve already said that Hl clarify things, but you need to give me time.â
âI said yesterday that we are engaged. You want me to deny our relationship today? Wouldnât I be slapping my own face? How can I face the media in the future?â
âIâve already agreed to cancel our engagement. It doesnât matter as long as you know that those public opinions are fake.â
Song Zhouâs head hurt as Mi Qing cried. He massaged his forehead and said, âMi Qing, the situation is different now. Your behavior is making my woman suffer!â
âYou canât bear to let her suffer, but can you bear to let me suffer?
âBrother Song Zhou, youâre too cruel. I saved your life once. What did that woman do for you?â
-If she didnât do anything and doesnât trust you because of some public opinion, then her love for you wonât stand the test of time.
Song Zhou looked at her and wanted to speak, but Mi Qing sobbed, âBrother Song Zhou, give me two more days. After you go with me to Jackâs engagement ceremony, Iâll clarify things.â
âIf Ruan Qi got upset with you over such a small matter, Iâll give her a call to explain.â
âThose public opinions are all fake. Itâs just a public relations strategy to protect my reputation. I will beg her not to be angry with you..â
