Chapter 154 Zhai Yijing Breaks Contract
After Chu Ye received the call from the bodyguards, he immediately told them to wait for Chu Rouxuan downstairs and help her make the two men tell the truth in public. He hurried downstairs holding Lu Qingxi, but unexpectedly met Xiao Lan and Jimo Tan.
Jimo Chen's eyes were firm and deep. He blocked Chu Ye's way and signaled him to hand Lu Qingxi over to him. Chu Ye saw Jimo Chen's unquestionable eyes. Although he felt a little reluctant, he also understood that the current situation did not allow him to delay any longer.
Xiao Lan also spoke, her voice calm and firm: "Chu Ye, you should hand Qingqing over to her boyfriend." Hearing the word "boyfriend", Chu Ye felt a burning pain in his heart, as if he was stabbed by something.
He was silent for a while, then he slowly and carefully handed Lu Qingxi in his arms to Jimo Tan. After Jimo Tan took Lu Qingxi, he whispered "thank you" to Chu Ye, then turned and left.
Chu Ye felt mixed emotions watching Jimo Chu and Lu Qingxi leave. He was relieved that Lu Qingxi was being taken care of, but also felt lost that he could no longer protect her. But he knew that from now on, he had to work hard to get Lu Qingxi to slowly approach him.
Chu Ye stood there for a long time, with mixed emotions in his heart. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to walk to the hall. His purpose was clear, he wanted to supervise the two men to tell the truth in front of everyone and seek justice for Lu Qingxi.
After Han Xin hurried back to the banquet, she saw the two men at a glance and her face turned pale instantly. Her hand unconsciously clenched Zhai Xingchen's arm, and the strength was so great that Zhai Xingchen felt pain and frowned. Zhai Xingchen turned his head to look at Han Xin and found that her eyes were fixed on the two men. He immediately realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the two men said what Han Xin told them to do under everyone's gaze. Han's father's face suddenly turned ugly. He didn't expect Han Xin to do such a thing at his birthday party, and he didn't expect to be exposed on the spot. In order to protect his daughter's face, he wanted to have the two men dragged out, but Zhai Yijing stood up.
Zhai Yijing walked in front of the crowd and said with a firm look: "It is better to make this matter clear in public." Han's father looked at him in confusion, trying to signal with his eyes that he should give him some face, but Zhai Yijing was unmoved.
He announced directly: "The marriage between the Han family and the Zhai family is cancelled from now on." As soon as this was said, the whole audience was in an uproar. Han's father's face became even uglier, but he knew that Zhai Yijing always kept his word, and it was irreversible at this time. Zhai Yijing continued: "Moreover, the Zhai family will not have any business dealings with the Han family in the future." After saying this, he turned around and left the banquet.
Zhai Xingchen looked at Zhai Yijing's departing back, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He knew very well that the interests between the Han family and the Zhai family were complicated and it was not easy to completely cut them off. Moreover, severing the interest relationship with the Han family would undoubtedly have a certain impact on the Zhai family. However, he did not expect that Zhai Yijing would make such a resolute decision, completely disregarding the interests of the family.
He turned to look at Han Xin who had already broken down and cried, and couldn't help but feel a little complicated. Originally, she thought Han Xin could successfully drag Xiao Lan into the water and make Xiao Lan a victim of this incident. But unexpectedly, Han Xin's plan failed so badly, and she herself fell into trouble.
Zhai Xingchen pretended to be sad as well and went forward to comfort Han Xin. His voice was gentle and full of sympathy, but his heart was calm. He knew that Han Xin was of no use for the time being.
After comforting Han Xin, Zhai Xingchen turned and left. He still had some questions in his mind that needed to be answered.
After Zhai Xingchen returned home, he originally planned to find Zhai Yijing to ask what happened, but to his surprise, he did not see his brother at home. He tried to call his brother's office, but the phone came with a prompt tone that no one answered. This made him feel a little strange, because his brother was rarely away from the company, let alone not answering the phone.
Zhai Xingchen suddenly thought of the bracelet on Lu Qingxi's hand. He immediately asked the servant at home whether Lu Qingxi had returned, but the answer he got was no. This made him seem to understand why he couldn't find his brother.
At this moment, Zhai Yijing, who was missed by Zhai Xingchen, was in his own private hospital, waiting for Lu Qingxi to wake up with Xiao Lan and Jimo Chu.
After receiving the doctor's confirmation that Lu Qingxi was fine, the three of them went to the accompanying room next door to rest. Before Zhai Yijing closed the door, Xiao Lan whispered a few words, and Zhai Yijing almost stayed awake all night after hearing those words.
The next morning, after Zhai Yijing woke up, he passed by Lu Qingxi's ward. He stood at the door and quietly looked at Lu Qingxi lying on the bed. The sunlight shone through the window on her face, making her look like a sleeping beauty. Zhai Yijing looked at her for a full half an hour before reluctantly leaving the ward.
The dusty Zhai Yijing pushed open the office door, his eyes flashing with tiredness but determination. He thought the office would be quiet, but unexpectedly found Zhai Xingchen sitting on the sofa, quietly waiting for him. Zhai Yijing's face flashed an unnatural expression, obviously he didn't expect Xingchen to wait here.
Zhai Xingchen looked at Zhai Yijing who opened the door and asked straight to the point: "Brother, why did you announce in public yesterday that you were canceling the marriage with the Han family?" His voice vaguely revealed his disapproval of this matter.
Zhai Yijing sighed softly and replied calmly: "Because the Han family is in a mess, Han Xin's cruelty is a bit too much. Besides, I know you don't like Han Xin, don't you?" Although his tone was calm, it concealed deep helplessness and determination.
However, Zhai Xingchen was not someone who could be easily fooled. He keenly smelled the faint smell of disinfectant on his brother, and immediately realized that things were not that simple. He stared closely at Zhai Yijing's eyes, trying to find more clues from them.
Zhai Yijing was also aware of Zhai Xingchen's suspicion of him, but he didn't intend to explain too much. He did know that his actions yesterday were a bit impulsive, but when he received the text message from Xiao Lan about the Han family's attack on Lu Qingxi, his anger and worry surged like a tide, and he only wanted the Han family to pay the price for it.
He knew that his actions might have caused some minor troubles to the family, but he did not regret it. After all, he could not just sit there and watch Lu Qingxi get hurt. However, he did not want Zhai Xingchen to know about his special feelings for Lu Qingxi. He planned to bear this feeling alone and did not want anyone else to get involved.
So, he gently patted Zhai Xingchen's shoulder, signaling him not to ask any more questions. Although Zhai Xingchen was unwilling, he also knew his brother's temper. Since his brother had made a decision, he would not change it easily. So, he had to choose to leave temporarily to give his brother some space to deal with the matter.
