Chapter 577 - A Foregone Conclusion
In the elegant room that they stayed last time, Zhang Hai looks at this handsome man in front of him and gets angrier.
The world is so unfair that some people try their best to get what they can’t get all their lives, while others get it effortlessly.
It’s like the man in front of him has a very beautiful appearance, a prominent background, money, and power!
That explains why Zhang Hai has made great efforts to realize his dream.
It is no wonder that Jing Shu falls in love with others so quickly because Beitang Xiu has the conditions for women to be fascinated.
In particular, he looks at Beitang Xiu’s smile and feels very uncomfortable
“Do you like Jing Shu?” Zhang Hai asks Beitang Xiu directly.
Beitang Xiu is happier, “Jing Shu is a good girl and everyone likes her.”
“Beitang Xiu, don’t talk nonsense to me. I am a bit of a boor and have a bad temper. You know what questions I’ll ask you.”
Beitang Xiu hesitates and has a meaningful smile on his face, “Zhang Hai, in fact, this question should be asked by me.”
“!” Zhang Hai didn’t expect Beitang Xiu to ask himself and gets very nervous. After a while, he still cannot answer.
Does he like Jing Shu?
Like? Of course, but he treats her like a sister.
“Jing Shu is a person around my sister-in-law. I follow my boss, so what do you think?”
“I have said I don’t understand.” Beitang Xiu stretches his finger and points to Zhang Hai’s heart, “I have to ask you about this question. What kind of love is it? Friends.h.i.+p, or love between a man and a woman.”
“Jing Shu is my little sister!” As if he is enlightened by someone, Zhang Hai blurts out, “I treat her like my own sister! So that’s all!”
“Ha-ha…” Beitang Xiu has a laugh, “Commander, don’t be so excited. I am just asking you casually. Now I understand that Jing Shu is just a sister to you.”
Zhang Hai frowns, “What do you mean?”
“If it’s just the friends.h.i.+p between a brother and a sister, then I know what I should respond to you in this negotiation.”
Zhang Hai is speechless as if something is suppressed in his heart. He hesitates for a long time before saying, “If… I mean if… We don’t have the relations.h.i.+p of siblings.”
“And then I’m your rival in love.” Before Zhang Hai finishes, Beitang Xiu stops laughing. His answer is almost word for word.
A rival in love!
Zhang Hai’s heart seems to be beaten hard by something. He feels very painful and clenches his teeth. This kind of pain is more severe than the feeling of being injured on the battlefield.
Seeing that Zhang Hai feels uncomfortable, Beitang Xiu is sure, “I have heard that you have a girlfriend. It seems that her name is Christine, and she is also a subordinate of Mrs. Xia. Am I right?”
Zhang Hai wants to ask how Beitang Xiu knows that, but when he wants to ask, he thinks of Beitang Xiu’s background. He is mingling along with both circles as gangs and the police, and he can know everything easily.
“Yes. Christine is my girlfriend now.”
“Congratulations. You can also conquer the heart of a woman like Christine who pays equal attention to beauty and wisdom, which shows that you are very capable, Commander.” After saying that, Beitang Xiu changes his tone, “Zhang Hai, since you have a girlfriend, you should be kind to her wholeheartedly. Other women have their own destinies. Don’t be distracted.”
Taking a breath, Zhang Hai says angrily, “Beitang Xiu, it’s not your turn to teach me how to behave and do things!”
“Sorry, maybe you have misunderstood me. I didn’t mean that. I said if you just had a brother and sister relations.h.i.+p with her, then I could respect you as my eldest brother. But if other feelings are included,” Beitang Xiu becomes very serious, “then I will take vicious measures.”
Beitang Xiu specially emphasizes the words “vicious measures”. Zhang Hai feels an invisible pressure and clenches his hands, “So, do you like Jing Shu?”
“For the time being, yes.”
After hearing that, Zhang Hai who has been suppressing his anger finally can no longer contain it. He stands up, points to Beitang Xiu, and says, “Beitang Xiu, Jing Shu is a good girl. You have multiple ident.i.ties. I don’t allow you to be with her!”
“It’s not up to you! Only Jing Shu can make this decision. Why are you excited?”
“With your ident.i.ty and ability, you can get any woman. Why do you choose Jing Shu? Can you let her go?”
Beitang Xiu has a gentle smile, “How do you know that I will not be happy with Jing Shu? What makes you think I won’t treat Jing Shu well?”
“As for you who was born with golden spoons and prominent background, love is too easy for you to get. You don’t know how to cherish it at all.”
“Really?” Beitang Xiu narrows his eyes, stands up, and looks straight at Zhang Hai, “So, what do you know about these people like me? Are you thinking that after I get Jing Shu, I will abandon her?”
Beitang Xiu’s meaning is very clear. Zhang Hai thinks about it for a while and then nods, “Yes! I’ve seen too many of these things…”
“Yes, you’re right. This is what many playboys do, but it doesn’t mean I’m like them.”
Zhang Hai sneers, “What you said is very nice. But how can you prove it?”
Beitang Xiu purses his lips, and the depths of his eyes seem to be burning violently. He responds word by word, “I understood this truth when I was five years old.”
“Five?” Zhang Hai feels very disdainful and says, “What can you know at the age of five…”
“Family ma.s.sacre!”
Half an hour later, Zhang Hai and Beitang Xiu come out. Seeing that both of them are “intact”, Jing Shu takes a deep breath and walks to Zhang Hai, “Zhang Hai, what’s important for you to come to visit Mr. Beitang?”
Zhang Hai, holding back his anger in his heart, doesn’t answer Jing Shu’s question and turns his head.
Jing Shu is surprised. Seeing Zhang Hai’s face, Jing Shu guesses, “Mr. Beitang, did Zhang Hai embarra.s.s you?”
“How can you say that? Why do you care about other people?” Before Beitang Xiu answers, Zhang Hai complains.
Beitang Xiu laughs, “No, Zhang Hai is very nice, and he just came over to care about you.”
After hearing that, Zhang Hai immediately gets embarra.s.sed, “What are you talking about? She is cared for by someone. By the way, Beitang Xiu, I’m not your brother. Don’t call me that. We’re totally different.”
“Zhang Hai, Mr. Beitang said this because he thinks highly of you, and you should cherish it!” Beitang Xiu is very good and patient. Moreover, he is her master. As a saying goes, people should respect their master and the truth. There is no doubt that Jing Shu will definitely help her master.
“Who doesn’t cherish it? I have self-knowledge!”
“Zhang Hai.” Beitang Xiu raises his hands gently and softens his tone, “There are guests here. If you still have opinions on me, let’s go inside and solve it again? What do you think?”
Although Zhang Hai doesn’t want to, he looks around and finds that all the people sitting here are rich and prominent. He feels that it is really inappropriate for him to look like this.
It shows that he should have left, but he is reluctant to leave someone…
“Zhang Hai, have you seen Christine today?” Realizing that it is embarra.s.sing now, Jing Shu hurriedly changes the subject.
But as soon as she says this, her heart is sour.
Zhang Hai opens his mouth and closes it again. To be honest, looking at Jing Shu being taken away by Beitang Xiu, he is very disappointed.
After sending his boss and his sister-in-law back to the compound of the military region, he comes straight to the coffee shop.
At this moment, Zhang Hai’s mobile phone rings, and the number on the screen is from Christine.
Taking a glance at Jing Shu, Zhang Hai takes a sigh, “I’ll leave first. Jing Shu, don’t go back too late. If it is inconvenient, ask me to come and send you back.”
“No, I’ll send her back later. Zhang Hai, you’d better go to the hospital first, otherwise, your girlfriend will be worried.” It seems that Beitang Xiu knows what Zhang Hai is thinking about, and his words make Zhang Hai shut up.
Zhang Hai mercilessly stares at Beitang Xiu, wants to swear, but cannot find the reason to swear.
Now that Christine is his girlfriend, it is of course the most important thing for him to see his girlfriend. But when the word “girlfriend” comes out of Beitang Xiu’s mouth, he always feels that there is a thorn in his heart and he can’t dial it out.
Suddenly, he remembers Yi Yunrui’s warning, so he grits his teeth and turns around to leave.
Looking at Zhang Hai’s back, Jing Shu feels lost.
Christine… She is Zhang Hai’s girlfriend. She has been denying it. Until this moment, Zhang Hai doesn’t refute what Beitang Xiu said, and she finally knows that it is a foregone conclusion.
Her heart is very painful. She takes a deep breath, and her hands hold tightly into fists.
Her shoulder is patted gently. Looking up, she sees Beitang Xiu’s gentle eyes. She has an impulse to cry.
She wants to get into his arms and cry.
“You’re not feeling well? I don’t mind lending you a shoulder.”
She tries to control her emotions as if she makes a decision. She says word by word, “Mr. Beitang, I’m fine. Don’t worry. It’s getting late, and I’m going home.”
It is very simple to get into other people’s arms and cry. But in the face of such a n.o.ble person as Mr. Beitang, she doesn’t want to do this.
She doesn’t want Mr. Beitang to see her negative emotions.
She doesn’t want him to see her miserable look.
Taking a deep breath, Jing Shu turns away. She has barely taken a few steps when her hand is held. She is stunned and turns to look at Beitang Xiu in surprise, “Mr. Beitang, It’s not late. I can go back by myself. As there are still so many guests in the coffee shop, I won’t bother you.”
Beitang Xiu tightens his hand that is holding Jing Shu’s hand, comes over, and is going to take her away, “As for me, you are the most distinguished ‘guest’.”
Looking at Yi Yunrui carefully cutting the fruit and putting it on the plate, Xia Ning feels sweet.
She likes to do everything at home with her husband, but Yi Yunrui always keeps her out, so she can only watch.
In a pleasant mood.
At that moment, Xia Ning’s mobile phone rings, and she picks it up and frowns slightly.
