Qin Haoshan hadn't expected Gu Nianzhi to be so smart and immediately guess who he was talking about.
His mouth froze, and his eyes bulged as he stared at Gu Nianzhi, unable to say a word.
Seeing his dumbfounded expression, everyone knew that Gu Nianzhi had guessed correctly.
Xie Qingying was so angry that the veins on her forehead popped. She took a step forward and whispered, "Did Wen Shouyi teach you to lie to me just now?!"
Qin Haoshan pursed his lips and refused to speak again.
Gu Nianzhi nodded with a sneer. "Okay, looks like she can't wait any longer. I told everyone to have a good New Year, but she's been pestering me all day and sizing me up. I really can't deal with her, can I? "
As a lawyer, Wen Shouyi was very good at playing on the edge of the law.
She kept making moves and making mistakes, but she was always walking in the gray area on the edge of the law.
It was too difficult to catch her off guard.
Gu Nianzhi sometimes wanted to set her up, but she quickly suppressed that thought.
As a legal practitioner, if she gave up self-discipline, the consequences would be more serious than ordinary people who didn't know the law.
Xie Qingying wasn't as calm as Gu Nianzhi.
Because this matter had crossed her bottom line.
She walked to the door without saying a word, took out her phone, and dialed Wen Shouyi's number.
Wen Shouyi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of her luxurious penthouse with a glass of wine in her hand, waiting for Qin Haoshan's news.
When she heard her phone ring, she quickly took it out and saw that it was Xie Qingying's number.
Wen Shouyi narrowed her eyes.
She didn't like Xie Qingying now, very much.
However, she was very surprised that Xie Qingying would call her on the 15th of the first lunar month.
Wen Shouyi slowly unlocked her phone and answered the call.
Before she could say hello, Xie Qingying's furious voice came from the other end of the line. "Wen Shouyi! Aren't you afraid of retribution for coming up with such a vicious idea?! "
Wen Shouyi's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! Did that idiot Qin Haoshan betray her?!
How was that possible?!
Wen Shouyi's mind raced, and she immediately said, "Is it Miss Xie? Did you call the wrong number? I had an all-nighter meeting yesterday and just woke up today. I don't understand what you're talking about. "
"You don't understand?" Xie Qingying sneered and mimicked Qin Haoshan's tone. "She won't mislead me! She worked hard for the Qin Family. She didn't even have a good New Year. She had meetings all the time, thinking of ways to save grandfather and aunt! On the other hand, you, the granddaughter of the Qin Family, went crazy and sent your own family to prison! '— Wen Shouyi, do you know who said this? You're the one Qin Haoshan mentioned, the one who hasn't had a good New Year and has been in meetings all the time? "
Wen Shouyi gritted her teeth so hard that they almost broke.
Sure enough, it was Qin Haoshan, that incompetent fellow who only knew how to spoil things …
She suppressed her anger and said gently, "Miss Xie, I think there must be some misunderstanding. Why don't you let Qin Haoshan talk to me? I'll ask him what happened. "
Xie Qingying saw that Wen Shouyi still refused to admit it, so she didn't want to continue arguing with her.
Holding the phone, she said word by word, "Wen Shouyi, I have no grudge against you, but you used such a vicious method to humiliate me. I'm not going to let you off!"
"Listen, I, Xie Qingying, am not a good person. Don't expect me to swallow my pride just because I suffered a loss! "
Xie Qingying then hung up the phone.
She didn't want to go back to the restaurant and face Qin Haoshan's hateful face.
Holding the phone, Xie Qingying walked a few steps to the entrance of Xiangxuehai Clubhouse and called He Zhichu again.
He Zhichu was on duty at a garrison under the Fragrant Hills in the Imperial Capital.
He wouldn't go home until after today.
This place was quite close to Xiangxuehai Clubhouse.
When he looked up, he could see the direction of Xiangxuehai Clubhouse. He could also imagine who was eating there today and what they ordered …
He had specifically instructed the kitchen not to add onions to all the dishes today.
So when he heard his phone ring and saw that it was Xie Qingying, he didn't hesitate to answer it.
"Is this Qingying? What is it? Did Nianzhi and the others come to Xiangxuehai? "He Zhichu held a cigarette in his hand as he stood in the open space in front of the barracks.
When Xie Qingying heard He Zhichu's cold voice, her restless heart gradually calmed down.
She took a deep breath and said with a smile, "… I miss you. I want to see you."
He Zhichu flicked the ash off his cigarette and looked at the withered grass on the ground. He said dryly, "I get off work in an hour. I'll pick you up then. "
"But I want to see you now," Xie Qingying said stubbornly. "I have something else to tell you."
He Zhichu was a bit curious when he heard how serious she was, as if she couldn't wait even a minute.
He looked at his watch. There was still an hour before his shift.
He couldn't leave the base, but Xie Qingying could come to the reception room for a while.
He Zhichu said, "Then come down. I'll wait for you at the entrance."
"Okay." Xie Qingying's heart warmed, but she was also uneasy.
She wanted this moment to last longer. If He Zhichu couldn't accept her past, then she wouldn't have such a good time in the future.
Xie Qingying went in to get her bag and called other managers to deal with Qin Haoshan's matter. She hurried out of Xiangxuehai Clubhouse and went to the base at the foot of the mountain to see He Zhichu.
He Zhichu was wearing a well-ironed winter military coat. He leaned against the wall of the barracks and smoked.
The sky above Xiangshan was very blue, without a trace of impurity.
The winter sun was bright, and the tree in front of the barracks was only left with the trunk. The leaves had all fallen.
He Zhichu stood under the withered tree. His slender figure was like the tree, with the word "lonely" written on it.
Xie Qingying's heart softened when she saw He Zhichu like this.
She really loved him, but she used to love him so much that she idolized him.
She loved him so much that she never thought she would be with him.
She still lived like a normal person and looked at him from afar, hoping that he could live a happy life with the person he loved.
She had envied Gu Nianzhi, but she had never been jealous.
But now, she actually had the chance to grow old with the person she loved deeply …
This change in identity and mentality made her realize that her secret love had become real. She no longer loved him like a fan worshipped her idol. Instead, she loved him like he was her own man.
She didn't want to lose him, but the first prerequisite for them to love each other was to be honest with each other.
Hiding anything in their relationship would be a ticking time bomb in the future.
Xie Qingying wanted to be with He Zhichu forever, so there couldn't be any trauma between them.
He Zhichu looked up and saw a tall, voluptuous woman standing opposite the entrance of the base.
It was Xie Qingying, who looked nervous.
He Zhichu calmly waved his hand. "Qingying, come here."
Xie Qingying seemed to be summoned and walked over like she was possessed.
He Zhichu took her hand and led her to the small reception room of the base.
This reception room was specially used by relatives and friends who came to visit.
It was right at the entrance of the barracks.
…
Xie Qingying sat on the sofa in the small reception room. He Zhichu placed a bottle of juice in front of her and asked with a smile, "How's the clubhouse? Is it lively today? Are you ready for the lantern show tonight? "
"It's all ready. There are a lot of people today, and it's very lively." Xie Qingying was extremely nervous. She answered He Zhichu's questions mechanically. She didn't dare to look at his sparkling almond-shaped eyes anymore.
"What's wrong? Qingying? "He Zhichu leaned forward." You're a little absent-minded. Is there trouble at the clubhouse? "
After a pause, He Zhichu asked, "… Who did Nianzhi come with? Is it because they're in trouble? "
Xie Qingying looked up at He Zhichu and said slowly, "They're fine. It's not a big problem. It's already been resolved. I came to confess something to you. "
Xie Qingying's fingers unconsciously dug into the corner of the conference table. She lowered her head and mustered up her courage to say, "Young Master He, I used to have a boyfriend, but we broke up a long time ago …"
She didn't dare look He Zhichu in the eyes.
She was afraid to see disappointment, anger, and pain in his eyes. She couldn't bear any of them.
If she had known that she would still have a chance to be with him, she would have kept her chastity until she was 30 …
But there were no ifs in life.
Xie Qingying didn't hear He Zhichu's words, so she could only bite the bullet and continue, "I've always had a crush on you, but I couldn't see hope. In order to get out of this hopeless crush, I dated a man who pursued me for a year when I was studying abroad. "
He Zhichu chuckled and took a tissue from the conference table to wipe the sweat off her forehead. He said aloofly, "That's it? I thought it was something big. "
"Don't you care?" Xie Qingying raised her head abruptly and stammered, "I, I, I … I used to be a couple with him … we … we …"
"There's no need to say anymore." He Zhichu gently covered her mouth. His palm was dry and warm, which was a huge contrast to his cold voice.
He said, "I also used to have a fiancée. You have an ex-boyfriend. We're all adults. What does it matter?"
He Zhichu was already 30 years old, and Xie Qingying was also 27 or 28 years old.
"Really? You really don't care? "Xie Qingying asked in surprise.
He Zhichu stroked her hair and asked softly, "Do you still love him now?"
"No, I don't love him at all." Xie Qingying shook her head like a rattle. "In fact, he was the one who broke up with me because he felt that I didn't love him that much."
