Fang Qingtian, on the other hand, stared fixedly at Old Fang as the latter walked away with the Safety Talisman in his hand. He was so angry that he vomited blood and felt pained. This old man didn’t know the true value of this thing. If he did, he wouldn’t dare treat this Safety Talisman so casually.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know what had happened. After Qi Zhenbai left last night, she hadn’t slept much. When she got home, she was about to go back to her room to rest.
She placed her phone on the table and deliberately set the ringtone on, afraid that she would miss Qi Zhenbai’s call.
In the capital, Qi Zhenbai didn’t sleep the entire night. He went to the police station to bail Feng Yuanlin out. After not seeing Feng Yuanlin for a while, the other party had an unkempt beard, his eyes were bloodshot and bruised, and he had lost a lot of weight.
He had Feng Yuanlin sit in the passenger seat, then went to a nearby shop to buy a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of water. He took out one cigarette himself, lit it and took a deep puff in a practiced manner. He leaned against the car and flicked away the cigarette ash.
Feng Yuanlin also took out a cigarette, lit it and took a breath. Neither of them said anything.
Qi Zhenbai knew a lot of things, but there were also some things he didn’t. One of them was how to offer comfort, which he wasn’t good at. After a while, he suddenly said, “What on earth happened last night?”
Feng Yuanlin finished his cigarette and threw it to the ground before he said, “Zhenbai, maybe you and Yan Yan will have to congratulate me in a few days. I’m getting married!”
Qi Zhenbai: …
Without waiting for Qi Zhenbai to speak, Feng Yuanlin continued, “Ask Yan Yan when she’ll be returning to the capital. She can be the maid of honor.”
Qi Zhenbai finished his cigarette and took out another one. As soon as he lit it, he remembered that his wife said that she didn’t like the smell of smoke, so he immediately put out the cigarette and asked calmly, “Matchmaking? Who is the other party? Should I look into her?”
Feng Yuanlin refused. “No need. You and Yan Yan are quite familiar with her. It’s Qin Qing. She’s pregnant, and my parents know about it! They want me to take responsibility!”
When he said that, Feng Yuanlin’s face was uncharacteristically mocking and gloomy.
Qi Zhenbai’s hand paused. Hearing the name “Qin Qing,” his expression subconsciously darkened.
He didn’t think that his childhood friend was someone who would go back on his word. Since he had broken up with that woman, Qin Qing, back then, it had naturally been a clean break. Looking at Feng Yuanlin’s mocking and gloomy face, he was obviously unhappy about marrying Qin Qing. Thinking of how Yuanlin had lost control and gotten into a fight last night, he felt that this had something to do with his marriage to Qin Qing. Could it be that this kid knew about Qin Qing cheating on him?
Qi Zhenbai examined Feng Yuanlin with a sharp gaze and didn’t say anything for a long while. Feng Yuanlin curled his lip and looked at Zhenbai. “Why aren’t you congratulating me?”
Qi Zhenbai remained calm and collected. “Why? Do you still have feelings for that Qin woman? She might not necessarily suit you!”
Feng Yuanlin’s expression was a little lost as he looked into the distance. “The more time we spend with each other, the more I feel that we walk different paths. But she’s already pregnant. Even if I don’t want to, my parents won’t agree!”
Qi Zhenbai wanted to say that the child might not be Feng Yuanlin’s, and his face turned cold at the thought of how fickle that woman was.
Feng Yuanlin said faintly, “Zhenbai, speaking of which, I admire her abilities more and more now. Not only did she figure out my family background, she also used underhanded methods to get pregnant with my child. In the blink of an eye, she got along with my mother and colluded with my mother to force me to marry her. Back then, she was the one who said that I couldn’t give her the life she wanted and wanted to break up with me. Now, she’s the one forcing me to marry her! It can only be said that I never really knew this woman!”
