Qin Zheng stared at the woman in front of him, whom he had only been apart from for seven months, but they were so alienated that they seemed to have been separated for seven years.
Undeniably.
Both he and she had changed.
Ji Xiaoli was no longer the sweetheart who liked clinging to him, and she looked at him more indifferently than a stranger did!
Qin Zheng felt heartache.
Although it was him who decided to break up first, he regretted now. Compared with the little girl who did not know how to dress up herself before, she seemed to have been different, so beautiful and charming now.
But he had chosen Ji Xuewei.
"If it"s all right, I"ll go now."Ji Xiaoli had nothing to reminisce with the man, and she didn"t think that men and women could be simple friends without any s.e.xual thought after breaking up.
She was so averse to that.
"Wait." He went toward her and grabbed her wrist in a trance, as if he recollected that night before they broke up.
"Qin Zheng! Is it true? Do you really fall in love with Xuewei?"
"Qin Zheng! Please tell me why, and what does the four years mean to you? Who on earth am I in your eyes?"
"Qin Zheng, I am really just the adopted daughter of Ji family and I even don"t know where my natural parents are...But I know that I can not compare with the status of Ji Xuewei. She is professor Ji"s biological daughter, and you two make a great match! Just because of that, you abandoned me?"
"Since this is your choice, I will never pester you!"
Qin Zheng did not know whether he should force a smile. In the following seven months, whenever they met, she always kept away from him, keeping her promise.
"Never pester him again!"
"Xiaoli, do you still hate me? So you don"t want to see me or talk to me?"Ji Xiaoli raised her eyes, wearing a sneer on her lips: "Why should I hate you? Hating a person is such a waste of time and energy, and we broke up as early as half a year ago. You have your Ji Xuewei. Without you, I am not unable to live..."
"You are n.o.body."
"Without you, I can have someone else!"
Qin Zheng paled,"Why are you here? I just came back from a business trip, and instead of coming home, I came here. If it wasn"t for me, why did you come here?"
Qin Zheng and Qin Zhenyang had a good relations.h.i.+p. Qin Zhenyang was the youngest son of the Qin family and a senior officer of the army. Qin Zheng admired him most.
Many people in the family were in the army. When it came to the generation of Qin Zhenyang, the Qin family had mainly gone into business. Qin Zhenyang was often reticent and acted uprightly. As long as he came back from the business trip, Qin Zheng rarely went home but chose to spend a night at this villa.
It was beyond his expectation to meet Ji Xiaoli here.
Ji Xiaoli seemed to listen to a joke. The sneer in her eyes could not be hidden,"You and I have gotten along with each other for such a long time, and you must know my character. Do you think that I will break into the villa just for a man who betrayed me before, even running the risk of being arrested by the security guard as an offender?"
Qin Zheng could not say a word at one time.
It was true that the security system here was so rigorous that it was impossible for a woman to break into.
The only possibility could be...
Qin Zheng"s eyes popped, and his eyebrows tightly frowned. He looked her up and down, as if to judge whether his thought was right.
Ji Xiaoli did not want to waste time on him any more. She cast off his hand that was grabbing her wrist, and ran downstairs.
"Miss, breakfast is ready."
Not long ago, she might eat some. But with the entanglement of Qin Zheng, she had no appet.i.te and went out.
The driver was ready for her.
"This is Mr. Qin"s order. Wherever Miss wants to go you can ask Uncle Zhou to send you there."Ji Xiaoli did not refuse and got into the car at once, for she was in the suburbs and few cars would pa.s.s by.
When Qin Zheng arrived downstairs, the car had been far away. His face didn"t look well, then he found the old lady w.a.n.g who was enjoying the suns.h.i.+ne outside the garden,"Aunt w.a.n.g, do you learn about the woman who went out just now?"
w.a.n.g merrily wobbled the cane chair, and her eyes, which were made hard to open because of suns.h.i.+ne, glanced at Qin Zheng with a smile. She knew Qin Zheyang and Qin Zheng had a good relations.h.i.+p, but also remembered Mr. Qin had said that this thing should not be known by the old man now.
"My young master, you must have guessed something by yourself, can"t you? Although I don"t tell you, you know...Please don"t tell the old man this thing, Mr. Qin doesn"t want him to know for the time being."
Qin Zheng"s face became worse.
He remembered that she seemed to come out from his uncle"s room, and if he saw rightly, there was a red hickey on her neck...
Last night.
Did she stay with Uncle?
His uncle, who used to have no interest in woman, unexpectedly spent a night with his ex-girlfriend...Qin Zheng could not accept this truth but had to.
He didn"t know how Ji Xiaoli intertwined with Qin Zhenyang, such an offish man...but anger burnt in his heart and could not be abreacted.
"Young master, I learned that you would get engaged by the end of this year. Congratulations!" w.a.n.g was particularly interested in young people"s marriage, because it was festive for the old.
Qin Zheng thought of Ji Xuewei.
He became more restless. He got used to comparing the two sisters: one was tender while the other was outgoing; one was submissive while the other was individualistic.
But now, the former tender Ji Xiaoli treated him as coldly as a stranger. At the same time the outgoing individualistic Ji Xuewei showed her bad temper, being coquettish and clingy all day long. He felt a little disgusted. "Indeterminately, no one is sure what will happen at the end of this year..."
Click.
Ji Xiaoli opened the door with key, then she found Dad, mum and Ji Xuewei all sat on the couch.
Professor Ji"s face was bad. He glanced at her without a word. Fang Youlan avoided talking about what she had done to Ji Xiaoli, and coldly put down the magazine, "Where did you go last night? You are so daring that you spent the night outside even before marrying! In this way, in the future your husband must be p.i.s.sed off!"
Ji Xiaoli had clearly understood what really happened last night.
The villains even censured her first, but that meant nothing to her.
She silently laid down her handbag, and was ready to return to her room for a rest. Suddenly, Ji Xuewei shouted and pointed at Ji Xiaoli"s neck. Her eyes seemed to have seen something extraordinary, full of viciousness and excitement.
"Dad, look! There is hickey on her neck! Last night she must have fooled around with a man!"
