Zhai Sheng stood up and leaned close to Wei De, whispering three words to him.
Wei De’s countenance changed instantly. He carried Wei Wei in his arms. “Hua Hua is right. It is late. I won’t disturb you. When there is a chance next time, I will visit again. We can have a meal and a good chat then.”
What was there to chat about?
It had to be about his relationship with Zhai Hua.
Old Master Zhai and Zhai Hua were surprised that Wei De was willing to leave. Zhai Yaohui was the only person who knew what Zhai Sheng told him just now to make him leave.
“Hua Hua, can you walk me to the door?” Wei De did not dare to ask Old Master Zhai or Zhai Yaohui to walk him to the door, but it was embarrassing for him to leave by himself. He had to get Zhai Hua to send him to the door.
“Alright…” Zhai Hua stood up. As long as Wei De was willing to leave with Wei Wei, she would not mind accommodating him.
“There is no need for that.” Zhai Sheng reached out to stop Zhai Hua. He had yet to change out of his shoes after he came back home from sending Qiao Nan. “I will walk him to the door.”
“You?!” Zhai Hua was shocked. “Are you serious?”
Zhai Sheng had better not start a fight with Wei De as soon as they left the house.
Wei De could not defeat Zhai Sheng. He would definitely be on the losing end. More importantly, Wei De carried Wei Wei in his arms. He had no way to fight back.
“Yes,” Zhai Sheng replied. “Let’s go.”
Wei De knitted his brows unwillingly, but he did not say anything. “Then… then I will have to trouble Regiment Commander Zhai.”
Zhai Sheng pursed his lips, an icy cold expression on his face. “You are welcome.”
Wei De had a lot to tell Zhai Hua, but he could not say anything to Zhai Sheng. He carried Wei Wei in his arms, trying not to feel so awkward.
They walked in silence until they stopped at Wei De’s car.
Wei De carried Wei Wei in his arms and smiled reluctantly. “Regiment Commander Zhai, my car is here. There is no need to send me further. We will have lots of chances to meet in the future. I hope that Regiment Commander Zhai will look out for me in the future.”
Under the cold moonlight, Zhai Sheng seemed to be as cold as snow. The hard stare in his eyes was like an unsheathed blade, giving off chilling stares. “Do you still remember the name that I said to you in the house just now?”
“Yes… yes. She is one of the comrades in the army. She used to be Regiment Commander Zhai’s fiancée…” What did Regiment Commander Zhai mean by mentioning Qiu Chenxi now?
He should not have panicked just now and should have maintained his composure. No matter what, no one would find out what happened.
He heard that Qiu Chenxi would be leaving Ping Cheng soon. By then, nobody would know what happened.
“She is never my fiancée. You should have heard that Qiu Qin was arrested. Before that, Qiu Chenxi met me and told me something very interesting. Do you think I should tell Zhai Hua about that?” He did not know his limitations. How dared he appear at the Zhai family’s residence without the slightest scruple? He was extremely daring!
“You should know better than me what kind of man Zhai Hua has fallen in love with. I will not say further. You should know what I mean.”
“…” Wei De wanted to say that no matter what Qiu Chenxi told Zhai Sheng, they were all lies. She was slandering him.
However, Zhai Sheng did not make things clear. If Wei De really said so, he would be exposing himself. Therefore, he did not dare to claim that he was innocent or to make a confession without duress.
“Regiment Commander Zhai, I don’t understand what you are saying. I don’t know what you mean by saying this.” In the end, Wei De had no other choice but to deny everything.
Back then, he merely told Qiu Chenxi about Qiao Nan’s relationship with Regiment Commander Zhai. He did not do anything else.
Qiu Chenxi targeted Qiao Nan because of her own reasons. It had nothing to do with other people.
Besides, there was no evidence to say that he was the person who introduced Qiu Chenxi and Chen Jun to each other. No one would dare to malign him without any proof. He could sue the other party for defamation!
Zhai Sheng was not surprised that Wei De would deny everything. There was no way that he would admit his involvement in everything
Zhai Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a flicker in his eyes. “It is alright that you do not understand. I will discuss with Zhai Hua to see what her views are on this. Qiu Chenxi is still alive. Even if she leaves Ping Cheng, it is not difficult to find her. We can always confront her about what happened.”
Zhai Sheng did not reveal that he had the cassette tape which was the crucial evidence.
Zhai Sheng did not really want to frighten Wei De or for him to ask for forgiveness.
If he really admitted his mistakes and confessed everything, it would be even more difficult for Wei De to break up with Zhai Hua.
He wanted Wei De to know that he was aware of what he had done and to alert him so that he would be in a fluster. People would usually make mistakes when they panicked and were in a hurry to defend themselves.
By then, it would be the right timing to deal him a serious blow.
Zhai Sheng had read a lot of books on psychology. He was happy to use psychological tactics on Wei De. He wanted to know how determined Wei De was in getting in through the back door with the help of the Zhai family.
“It is late. You should leave.”
After sounding him out and accomplishing what he had in mind, Zhai Sheng had no wish to waste his time on Wei De. He turned and walked off briskly, leaving Wei De to ponder over what happened.
Wei De locked his dark gaze on the back of Zhai Sheng as he walked off, his heart thumping loudly. He was shocked by Zhai Sheng’s words.
If it was in the past, he did not have to worry about Zhai Hua’s reaction to what Zhai Sheng said. She would not be suspicious of him. But he was not too sure of what Zhai Hua would think right now.
If Zhai Hua discovered that he was not the type of man that she was looking for and was the exact opposite instead, his road to success would be cut off forever.
Wei De put a sleeping Wei Wei on the back seat. His thoughts were racing as he made his way back home.
He remembered that a month ago, whenever Zhai Hua returned to Ping Cheng, although she did not share his bed, she would always stay with him in the house. Wei De felt gloomy that things had changed so much now.
There was no other road left for him now. If he wanted to succeed as soon as possible, the only method was to be intimate with Zhai Hua, and if possible, for her to be pregnant with his child!
At the thought of this, Wei De quickly made a call to his secretary. “Get me a few boxes of those sweet and sour wines that have a similar taste to juices but have a higher concentration of alcohol. They should make one drunk even from taking a small amount. Remember. You have to find it according to my requirements. If you do this well, I will give you a five hundred yuan red packet during the Lunar New Year.”
