Chapter 124: Preferring to Love, Clinging to Hate
Chapter 124: Preferring to Love, Clinging to Hate
The air was frozen and clearly solidified, yet it seemed as if something was stirring and restless.
Lu Tian sensitively noticed the strong smell of gunpowder lingering between the father and son.
She frowned slightly: "What's wrong, A Yan, what are you doing?"
We had clearly agreed before to let her handle it.
Besides, she has already decided not to divorce. Anyway, she can live the same way now and in the future as she did before.
Just treat it as her being unreasonable.
After all, most marriages are like this. When they break down, there will be a quarrel. After the quarrel, most people will eventually compromise due to various helplessness and just muddle through. In fact, it is no big deal.
But Qi Chenyan's current reaction was a little beyond her expectations.
Qi Chenyan didn't answer her, but just looked at Qi Muci.
Qi Muci's eyes fell on the divorce agreement that Qi Chenyan slapped in front of him. He glanced at it calmly and curled his lips coldly: "You are the first one who forced your parents to divorce."
Qi Chenyan suppressed all his emotions and curled his lips: "That's right, after all, you are not the first one to force your son to divorce."
After a pause, he said, "However, you are the first one to send the video to your daughter-in-law."
Qi Muci's eyes narrowed and he looked up at Qi Chenyan.
Qi Chenyan looked him in the eye without hesitation. Seeing the shock in his eyes, he smiled without any warmth: "Why, you didn't expect Xingxing to tell me, right? You thought she and I were the same as you guys, right?"
Qi Muci's lips were almost pursed into a line, and his hands subconsciously clenched.
Lu Tian was curious: "What video?"
Qi Muci's eyelashes drooped.
"Does father dare to say it?"
Qi Chenyan said sarcastically: "Do you dare to tell my mother what video you sent to Xingxing using her phone?"
Lu Tian's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she immediately stood up and went to the living room to look for her cell phone, which should have been thrown on the sofa.
I just clicked on the record and there was nothing.
She was silent for a few seconds, walked back to the restaurant, and asked Qi Muci: "What did you send to Xingxing?"
After a moment, Qi Muci raised his eyes and said calmly, "It's not a video, it's just some sound."
"sound?"
Lu Tian was a little confused: "What sound?"
Qi Muci's eyelashes moved slightly, his Adam's apple rolled uncontrollably, and finally he sneered inexplicably: "Tiantian, what else could it be? It's just some sounds when we're intimate."
Qi Chenyan closed his eyes weakly.
Lu Tian's head was already buzzing.
She even felt that she probably didn't hear clearly what Qi Muci said?
The sound of intimacy?
She stared at Qi Muci closely, trying to see through what he was thinking, but she found that she couldn't.
He just looked at her, as if what he did was just a very insignificant thing to him.
Lu Tian's breathing gradually became rapid, and her voice trembled uncontrollably: "Do you know what you are doing?"
Qi Muci looked at her calmly: "Of course I know, I said that I will not accept the Bo family as the daughter-in-law of my Qi family."
"So, you're even willing to resort to this method?"
Lu Tian's fingers were shaking as she gripped the phone. "When did you record this? What did you want to do by sending it to Xingxing? Are you using my... to threaten her?"
Qi Muci: "You've been with me since you were 18, when do you think I recorded it?"
The meaning was very clear, and perhaps even he himself could not explain it, because he probably recorded a lot while she was not paying attention.
"You know, I've been with you since I was 18."
Lu Tian suddenly found it ridiculous. "Sure enough, when people are young, their brains tend to get filled with water and they turn themselves into a joke."
"joke?"
Qi Muci's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Lu Tian, I think I'm the joke."
He leaned back in his chair. "Do you think I don't know why you came back? Why did you suddenly say you didn't want a divorce? Isn't it because I threatened Shi Xing? Are you worried about the impact on Bo?"
Qi Chenyan clenched his hands tightly.
Sure enough, just as Xingxing said, he would think so.
The more he keeps digging himself into this dead end, the crazier he will become.
Lu Tian frowned: "I have said more than once that I have no romantic feelings for Bo Jinran. I don't like him, and I didn't come back because of him."
"Do you think I will believe it?"
Qi Muci stared at her: "If I hadn't threatened Shi Xing, would you have come back?"
"will not."
Lu Tian said without hesitation, "I really can't."
She couldn't help but curl her lips and smiled sarcastically: "But do you think I was forced to come back because of Bo Jinran?"
Qi Muci: "What else?"
Lu Tian took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and told him: "I did this because of A Yan, because of Xing Xing, because I don't want the Qi and Bo families to get too ugly, and I don't want you to be deceived by the An family. Qi Muci, do you think all this is because of Bo Jinran?"
"The An family you're talking about is my mother, right?"
Qi Muci found it inexplicably funny. "Lu Tian, I admit that when the Qi family was almost in trouble, it was your father who helped us. But no matter what, in the end, the Qi family was supported by my mother. And for so many years, you have been resentful of my mother and made things difficult for her. Have I ever said a word more?"
"Even my mother has always been tolerant and evasive towards you because she feels guilty towards you. This time, including A Yan, he wanted my mother to stay in the Buddhist temple and not come out, and I followed his lead.
But do you think, is this really what she should endure?
Lu Tian, you always say that the thorn in your heart is because I brought An Mingyao back home without telling you. But even if I really told you, would you be able to accept it, would you be able to endure it?
Given your personality, won't you end up having a huge conflict with An Mingyao?
So, whether I told you or not, the child couldn't be kept. When you're blaming others, have you ever considered your own problems? If you hadn't been so impulsive, and had asked me privately and discussed it first, instead of confronting and pressuring me in front of everyone, would this have happened?
Qi Muci looked at her with a cold expression, and spoke slowly, but each word was like a nail driving into Lu Tianxin's mouth, causing her excruciating pain.
He continued, "But I also admit that I was wrong back then. I shouldn't have kept it from you, and I didn't realize An Mingyao's feelings and was deceived by her. When she pushed you, I didn't react, causing you to lose your child and get hurt.
But I've done my best to make up for it, haven't I?
Your father had me beaten half to death. As soon as I recovered from my injuries, I rushed to the Lu family. I knelt outside the Lu family for a whole night. Do you know how much ridicule I faced at that time?
And this time, why do you think I was willing to lower my posture and kneel down without caring about my face? It’s because I know I was wrong and I know I should bear it.
What about you? Lu Tian, I have endured what I should have endured, but what have you paid for me and endured?
You ignore my efforts of more than 20 years and force me to sign the divorce agreement just because of Bo Jinran's cheap friendship that you didn't even dare to confess to him?
I tell you, that's impossible.
I can divorce me because you no longer love me, but if you want to divorce me because of Bo Jinran, that's absolutely impossible!"
Even Qi Chenyan, who thought he could accept a worse situation, couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart when he heard Qi Muci's words at this moment.
Lu Tian felt dizzy.
At this moment, Qi Muci was a complete stranger.
Or maybe, people are probably all like this. Only when they feel that their interests are truly infringed will they uncontrollably show their selfishness and reveal their true selves.
When he wants to take control of the initiative and regain his interests, he can start by talking about whether you spent an extra dime on him on the first day they met.
Her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a large hand, and a suffocating feeling surged up. She laughed self-deprecatingly, "Yes, I knew it a long time ago. You've been tiring me out for so many years. You're right. My child is lost. It's my own fault for not protecting her. I can't blame you."
But Qi Muci, was it me who begged you to kneel back then? Is it me who begged you to kneel now? For so many years, was it me who begged you to coax me? Now even this is my fault, right? It was me who embarrassed you, made you lose face, and tarnished the life of the dignified Qi family master? "
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and her voice was tense and raised at that moment: "But if you think I have wronged your mother, why didn't you say it earlier? Even if you stood up and said a word when I was arguing with her, even if you said "stop it and don't want to comfort me" when I was making a fuss, or even after I left the Qi family that year, you had some dignity and didn't kneel there pretending to be hypocritical all night. Do you think I, Lu Tian, would stay here with you for twenty years? "
Lu Tian couldn't tell how long it had been since she last cried.
The last time she cried was probably 15 years ago, when her father and mother passed away one after another on the same day.
However, at this moment, she couldn't control her tears at all. She stared at Qi Muci intently, breathing rapidly, closed her eyes, and finally said, "Qi Muci, as you wish."
She turned to leave, and Qi Muci said coldly: "Lu Tian, if you dare to leave, the things I sent to Shi Xing will be sent to Bo Jinran the next second. You can try."
Lu Tian paused.
But it seemed that at this moment, no matter what he said, it was not enough to surprise her.
After a few seconds, she turned to look at him, cold as ice: "You can try it, Qi Muci, if you dare to post it, I guarantee that your mother in the Buddhist temple will not live beyond tomorrow!"
Qi Muci's pupils shrank slightly. Lu Tian's tears were still wet, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips: "Maybe you don't really care about her that much, but Qi Muci, we've been married for more than 20 years. Do you think you're the only one who can threaten me?"
She was not afraid at all and turned to leave. Qi Muci said in a cold tone: "Stop Madam."
The servants and bodyguards around them, who had already heard a big drama, instantly tensed up.
Just as the bodyguard was about to step forward, Qi Chenyan had already stepped in front of Lu Tian. He looked at those people without any emotion and said coldly, "Get lost!"
The bodyguards swallowed and hesitated for a moment.
To be honest, over the years, Qi Muci has spent less time in Kyoto, and most of the time they have been with Qi Chenyan.
The one they fear and respect the most is their prince.
Qi Muci gritted his teeth and looked at Qi Chenyan: "Qi Chenyan, are you sure you want to join her in the trouble?"
"Noisy?"
Qi Chenyan thought it was ridiculous: "I originally thought that my father was not stupid, but just impulsive."
He scoffed, "But now it seems that my father is much more stupid than I thought."
Qi Muci narrowed his eyes. Qi Chenyan met his gaze and chuckled sarcastically, "Don't worry, father. When you're admitted to the hospital, there will be many people rushing to pull out your oxygen tube. When that time comes, just don't regret it."
He put his arm around Lu Tian's shoulders and took her out.
When he reached the door, he turned around and looked at Qi Muci again: "Divorce agreement, father, please sign it early. I will ask Fang Yuan to pick it up tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he left. Not long after he left, he heard the sound of something breaking behind him.
Qi Chenyan didn't care and took Lu Tian out of the Qi family under the complicated gazes of the people around him.
He opened the passenger door and let her get in, then turned to the driver's seat.
Didn't leave immediately.
Qi Chenyan was silent, and Lu Tian was also silent. They sat there for a long time, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "Sorry."
Qi Chenyan turned to look at her, and she looked at him too, her eyebrows slightly curved, but tears welled up in her eyes. She whispered, "It's sad for Ah Yan to see his parents making such an ugly scene."
Qi Chenyan's Adam's apple rolled slowly, "No, actually as a parent, you are already very good."
He raised his hand, bent his knuckles, and brushed it across Lu Tian's face, sighing softly, "At least for the past twenty years, I have grown up in love."
No matter whether they were truly in love or just pretending, at least he had never noticed it over the years.
So he grew up very well.
Sound personality.
Although I may be obsessed with one person, I tend to love him rather than hate him.
Qi Chenyan took out a tissue and gave it to her, whispering, "Mom, I'll have someone send you back to the capital. Leave the things here to me."
Lu Tian closed her eyes and finally nodded.
She was indeed very tired.
More tired than ever before.
In order to avoid any further complications and as there was no time to arrange a private plane, Qi Chenyan asked someone to buy the nearest plane ticket and asked Fang Yuan to take people to personally send Lu Tian back to the imperial capital.
After sending her to the airport and watching her and Fang Yuan and others board the plane, he stood for a long time before turning around and going home.
It was almost 12 o'clock in the morning, and Shi Xing had been waiting for his news and call without sleeping.
Even Lu Li and Bo Yunyan were staying in the living room.
I feel inexplicably uneasy.
When Qi Chenyan came back, they all stood up subconsciously. Lu Li wanted to ask something, but seeing Qi Chenyan's pale and bloodless face, he swallowed his words.
Qi Chenyan didn't speak to them and walked straight to the bedroom. When Shi Xing heard the sound and opened the bedroom door, he was about to push the door open.
"Ayan, why are you back?"
Didn’t he say he would stay at the Lu family for one night?
Qi Chenyan lowered his eyes and looked at her. The girl had a delicate and beautiful face with fair complexion, and her clear eyes were full of worry.
He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he only called out her name.
"Star~"
His voice was very soft and hoarse.
His vision had been darkening for a long time, and at that moment he could no longer hold on and fell towards Shi Xing.
"Ayan——"
Shi Xing hugged him in panic, took a few steps back and almost fell down.
Fortunately, Lu Li was quick to help Qi Chenyan over.
Qi Chenyan has completely fallen into a coma.
He had no idea what was happening in the outside world, but had a long dream...
