Upon seeing He Qingyu leave with large strides, he couldn't help but walk out. Clenching his fists tightly, he walked towards Zhou Xuan Qing, who was still dazed on the spot. As he approached, he raised his hand and swung it.
"Pah!" A resounding slapping sound could be heard in the quiet dance room as the defenseless Zhou Xuanqing was thrown into a daze.
Her face burned so much that she nearly burst into tears. He forced himself to endure it and raised his head to look at Ji Yun, who had appeared here for some reason. He pursed his lips but didn't say anything.
She was thinking about what she should say to retrieve this slap.
Looking at the bright red handprint on Zhou Xuan Qing's face, Ji Yun felt a little relieved. He pursed his lips and looked at Ye Zichen with disdain, "You should look at yourself in the mirror and see who you are. Is my Ah Yu also something you can think about?"
He looked just like his wife, scolding Little San. Zhou Xuan Qing's lips curved up in a faint smile, mocking back the humiliation he had suffered. "Your Ah Yu, as far as I know, CEO He is still a bachelor."
"You …" Ji Yun was so angry that he wanted to slap her again, but his palm missed and missed. He put it down helplessly and said word by word, "You don't have to worry about that. I'm the perfect match for Ah Yu's sect. A childhood friend." Our families have long agreed to the marriage between the two of us. "
Although Ji Yun felt that there was no need to say all this to a lowly character like Zhou Xuanqing, she still said it out loud. Her goal was to let everyone know that she was definitely He Qingyu's wife.
Seeing Ji Yun speak so confidently, although Zhou Xuan Qing's heart ached, his face revealed a faint smile. "Oh, is that so?" Then shouldn't I congratulate you in advance for having an early relationship with President He? "
Ji Yun could tell that Zhou Xuanqing was mocking her. She took a deep breath, and her expression suddenly turned gentle and amiable. "Miss Zhou, I think I should advise you on who can provoke and who cannot be provoked." He changed the topic and said, "It's a pity that a person can't even see their own identity clearly."
Originally, Zhou Xueqing still had some confidence in returning the favor. He thought about his father who was still lying in the hospital, and the huge debt that he had to pay off by selling himself. She suddenly felt that she was just as Ji Yun said, unable to clearly see her identity.
He didn't even have his freedom. As his mistress, what could he say to refute that?
Looking at Zhou Xueqing, who had suddenly quieted down and no longer dared to argue with him, Han Sanhe felt a sense of unease in his heart. Ji Yun opened her mouth and let out a light laugh. With both hands on her chest, she said proudly, "You've thought it through? "Seems like he's not that stupid after all."
Zhou Xuanqing clenched his fists in pain, but he dared not retort. She was afraid that if the woman in front of her became jealous and did something to her, what should she do?
Especially since it might involve the Zhou family in the end, it was something that could not be allowed to happen no matter what. She deceived her parents with lies and did not tell them that she was being someone else's mistress.
The current her simply didn't have the ability to withstand any kind of damage.
Zhou Xuanqing's forbearance made Ji Yun feel that she could be even more cruel. Who told this woman, who came out of nowhere, to actually dare to be embraced by He Qingyu? This was something that she had yearned for day and night. She had liked He Qingyu for so long that she hadn't even held a hand with him …
Yes.
How could this woman, who was nothing at all, be embraced by He Qingyu?
This was something she could not accept.
He Qingyu took the elevator back to the top floor. When he saw that Ji Yun's seat was empty, he frowned slightly and looked towards his brother He Qingyu.
He Qing Yun picked up the red wine in front of him and tasted it. With a look of disappointment, he said, "She's the same as you. She's using the same excuse as you to leave. When she returns, she claims to have left beforehand."
When He Qingyu heard this, he nodded his head without a trace of doubt.
He Qing Yun saw that his expression was not depressed, as if he was in a bad mood. He poured out the red wine in front of him and handed the bottle over to He Qingyu, "It's been a long time since we've had a drink together, why not have a good one tonight?"
In his mind, he was still wondering if He Qingyu would be able to return to the villa today. Hearing his words, He Qingyu did not refuse. He reached out to grab the bottle of wine and poured himself a full cup.
Then, he emptied his stomach in one gulp.
Seeing this, He Qing Yi played the role of his elder brother to persuade him, "Ah Yu, drinking like this will harm your body. Come, let's eat the dishes here first and drink while we eat. "
He Qingyu poured another cup and was about to finish it when he lowered his head to look at the seemingly rich and delicate dishes on the table. However, he felt that he had no appetite at all. He shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry. I suddenly miss the dishes that Aunt Lan cooked."
Aunt Lan had been a babysitter in the He family for almost thirty years. When He Qing Yi heard He Qing Yu say that name, his eyes flashed unnoticeably. He smiled faintly and said, "You still remember Aunt Lan. I thought you had lost track of the He family's home after coming back from abroad to take over the company."
In the face of these words, He Qingyu had no words to refute. He raised his glass and drank all the red wine inside in one gulp before saying dejectedly, "The He family's appearance hasn't changed, but the people inside have."
Usually, He Qingyu always appeared to be amiable and courteous, but he was also indifferent and distant. People could not figure out what they were thinking and would never say something like that.
Looking at He Qingyu who was drinking two large glasses of red wine at the opposite side, He Qingyu guessed that it was because of the alcohol that he had let down his guard. He actually spoke his mind and smiled faintly, thinking that the wine was truly a good thing. He raised his wine cup and said, "I'll take it as you talking nonsense when you're drunk. Didn't we agree that we're going to drink together? Why are you so focused on drinking by yourself?"
There was a hint of reproach in his words. He Qingyu looked at the wine cup that was being raised. Without saying anything else, he picked up the cup that he had just filled and lightly touched it.
The two brothers raised their heads and downed the wine in one gulp, but the expressions on their faces were completely different.
After that, the mood of the unable to find an outlet, Helian Qingyu regardless of the alcohol to drink very fierce. Ignoring Helian Qing's interception, he ordered bottle after bottle of wine, and finally drank a few bottles of brandy.
Only after seeing He Qingyu completely drunk on the dining table did he take out his phone. He had already sent a message to Ji Yun, who had told him not to come back, to call. He said that he had a very good way to help her get rid of the obstructions.
Although Ji Yun felt that He Qingyu's change in attitude was suspicious, he still believed her.
Zhou Xuanqing, who had been humiliated by Ji Yun until he returned to his villa, was sitting alone on the stairs.
She stared at the marble floor, her mind in a state of confusion, as if she had been stabbed.
He sat there for a long time. Until late at night, she had yet to see He Qingyu return.
The unhappiness in his heart couldn't help but grow greater and greater.
The villa was huge, with only her inside and outside. At this moment, she was willing to have He Qingyu stand in front of her and scold her and mock her, but she also didn't want to be left alone in such a quiet place.
On a night like this, the silence was truly terrible.
But in the end, the person he wanted to wait for still hadn't returned …
When the drunk He Qingyu woke up, he found himself lying on the bed in the He family courtyard. He lifted his hand to pick his hair and got out of bed. Because he had drunk too much last night, he could not help but feel a bit uncomfortable.
Walking out of his room, he went downstairs to find his older brother, He Qingru, sitting on the sofa. In his hands was the newspaper he had delivered this morning, and he was currently reading it carefully.
This scene seemed very comfortable and at ease at home.
He Qingyu put his hand in his pocket and walked to the opposite side to sit down. He politely said, "I drank too much last night. Many thanks to big brother for bringing me back."
When he found the time to look up from the newspaper, He Qing Yi looked over and joked, "The one sending you back is my assistant, I don't have the ability to send you back."
He Qingyu was somewhat surprised that such self-deprecating words would come out of his brother's mouth. He could not remember how long it had been since the two brothers had sat down face to face.
Breakfast was soon served, and He Qingyu raised his chopsticks to taste it. It tasted good, but it didn't have the familiar feeling that she remembered. He asked, "Oh yes, brother. I've been up for so long, why haven't I seen Aunt Lan?"
After eating breakfast, He Qing Ning paused for a moment before replying casually, "Aunt Lan said that she wanted to go back to her hometown to have a look. After she applied for leave half a month ago, she still hasn't returned."
When He Qingyu heard this, he slightly frowned. Looking towards the butler who had been guarding by the side all this while, "Butler Xu, is what my brother said true? "Did Aunt Lan really leave to go home half a month ago?"
Steward Xu glanced at He Qing Ning who had lowered her head to eat, smiling respectfully as he replied, "Yes, Second Young Master. Aunt Lan had asked for a leave of absence from Madam half a month ago, and had not returned since her departure. "
Based on his understanding of Aunt Lan's character, He Qingyu always felt that this matter was suspicious. However, he had no idea what was so suspicious about it. He asked again, "Oh, so it's like that! "Did Aunt Lan call back? I miss her cooking."
Butler Xu shook his head, "No."
He Qingyu felt that this was even more strange. However, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't returned to his villa that night. He wondered if Zhou Xuanqing would think too much about it. He immediately shifted his attention to other things and stopped caring about Aunt Lan's problem.
In a villa in the suburbs, Zhou Xuanqing, who had not slept for the entire night, was driving out with two panda eyes, intending to head to the office.
When they were about to leave, they received a call from Qiao saying that Yang Qianqian had disappeared after going out to the bathroom last night.
Zhou Xuanqing blamed Little Qiao for not telling him about this until now. Little Qiao explained that Yang Qianqian had experienced similar situations in the past. However, it turned out to be a prank created by Yang Qianqian.
They thought that, just like last time, Yang Qianqian purposely disappeared to scare them.
Until today, Yang Qianqian still couldn't get through to the company. It was only then that they woke up. Something had happened.
Anxious, the few of them immediately called Zhou Xuan Qing, who had also left early the previous night. He wanted to ask if Zhou Xuanqing knew where Yang Qianqian was.
After the call connected, Zhou Xuan Qing's reaction made the girls understand. Zhou Xuanqing was completely oblivious to Yang Qianqian's disappearance.
A perfectly fine person disappeared into thin air from one of the best hotels in Bingcheng. Simply saying such a thing was enough to cause one to be astonished.
Calling the police required a person to disappear for 24 hours before he could report the incident. After thinking hard for a long time, Zhou Xuan Qing could only call He Qing Yu for help.
Ye Zichen took out his phone and clicked on the contact number. Just as he was about to press a number, his phone suddenly rang.
As Zhou Xuanqing looked at the caller ID, he realized that it was an unfamiliar number. Having experienced the threat of loan sharks on the phone, she felt a little uneasy and frowned slightly before pressing the answer button.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

I've been up for so long, why haven't I seen Aunt Lan?"After eating breakfast, He Qing Ning paused for a moment before replying casually, "Aunt Lan said that she wanted to go back to her hometown to have a look. After she applied for leave half a month ago, she still hasn't returned."When He Qingyu heard this, he slightly frowned. Looking towards the butler who had been guarding by the side all this while, "Butler Xu, is what my brother said true? "Did Aunt Lan really leave to go home half a month ago?"Steward Xu glanced at He Qing Ning who had lowered her head to eat, smiling respectfully as he replied, "Yes, Second Young Master. Aunt Lan had asked for a leave of absence from Madam half a month ago, and had not returned since her departure. "Based on his understanding of Aunt Lan's character, He Qingyu always felt that this matter was suspicious. However, he had no idea what was so suspicious about it. He asked again, "Oh, so it's like that! "Did Aunt Lan call back? I miss her cooking."Butler Xu shook his head, "No."He Qingyu felt that this was even more strange. However, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't returned to his villa that night. He wondered if Zhou Xuanqing would think too much about it. He immediately shifted his attention to other things and stopped caring about Aunt Lan's problem.In a villa in the suburbs, Zhou Xuanqing, who had not slept for the entire night, was driving out with two panda eyes, intending to head to the office.When they were about to leave, they received a call from Qiao saying that Yang Qianqian had disappeared after going out to the bathroom last night.Zhou Xuanqing blamed Little Qiao for not telling him about this until now. Little Qiao explained that Yang Qianqian had experienced similar situations in the past. However, it turned out to be a prank created by Yang Qianqian.They thought that, just like last time, Yang Qianqian purposely disappeared to scare them.Until today, Yang Qianqian still couldn't get through to the company. It was only then that they woke up. Something had happened.Anxious, the few of them immediately called Zhou Xuan Qing, who had also left early the previous night. He wanted to ask if Zhou Xuanqing knew where Yang Qianqian was.After the call connected, Zhou Xuan Qing's reaction made the girls understand. Zhou Xuanqing was completely oblivious to Yang Qianqian's disappearance.A perfectly fine person disappeared into thin air from one of the best hotels in Bingcheng. Simply saying such a thing was enough to cause one to be astonished.Calling the police required a person to disappear for 24 hours before he could report the incident. After thinking hard for a long time, Zhou Xuan Qing could only call He Qing Yu for help.Ye Zichen took out his phone and clicked on the contact number. Just as he was about to press a number, his phone suddenly rang.As Zhou Xuanqing looked at the caller ID, he realized that it was an unfamiliar number. Having experienced the threat of loan sharks on the phone, she felt a little uneasy and frowned slightly before pressing the answer button.
