The shock, astonishment, disbelief and embarrassment in Yan Ce's scarlet eyes were all mixed together at this moment, making him unresponsive.
After a long time, he weakly let go of Huo Qi's collar, turned around and looked at Yan Qiang behind him.
"...Is everything he said true?"
Yan Ce's voice no longer sounded like his.
Yan Qiang's face was devoid of any color, as pale as a piece of paper.
Things that Huo Qi had buried deep in her heart were revealed to the public even though she was unwilling to do so, and the tall building behind her collapsed.
A ruin.
All the fantasies she had about him were like knives, stabbing into her heart one by one.
Does it hurt?
It hurts.
But the pain was too much, and it was actually a little numb.
"I listen to you, I want to listen to you." Yan Ce stared at Yan Qiang and kept repeating, "Tell me, is it true?!"
"it is true."
Yan Qiang's voice was hoarse, and her slight movement of raising her head made her body sway uncontrollably for a few moments before she managed to stand still.
She didn't look at Huo Qi, her bright eyes were so numb that there was almost no emotion at the moment.
She looked at Yan Ce and said, "Brother, let's go home."
She said it too calmly.
She walked forward with weak steps, took Yan Ce's arm, and repeated calmly: "Go home, I will tell you everything when I go home."
Yan Ce shook off her hand.
Caught off guard, Yan Qiang lost her balance and fell straight backwards.
Yan Ce subconsciously pulled her back.
But Huo Qi reacted faster. Before Yan Ce touched Yan Qiang, he had already put his arm around her waist and brought her into his arms.
The strong gesture stimulated Yan Ce.
He punched Huo Qi in the face.
"I kill you!"
He was overwhelmed with anger and just wanted to fight Huo Qi desperately.
The unprepared Huo Qi received a heavy punch from him.
His expression suddenly turned cold and stern.
One hand hooked Yan Qiang's belt and turned her around to protect her. The other hand firmly grabbed Yan Ce's fist that was swinging again, pulled it back, raised his feet and pushed his knees hard.
With Yan Ce groaning, Huo Qi pushed him away, raised his long legs and kicked him hard.
Yan Ce took several steps back.
"enough!"
Yan Qiang's shout caused the entire living room to become silent instantly.
She violently broke away from Huo Qi. Even though her steps were staggering, she still strode forward, pulled out Yan Ce's arm and dragged it out.
"Let go!"
Yan Ce gritted his teeth and turned his head to stare at Huo Qi hatefully, wishing he could kill him with his eye knife.
The pride of his life collapsed this night!
He firmly refused to believe all this. Huo Qi must have forced her!
That must be it!
Huo Qi was standing in the living room.
Even though the collar of the shirt is loose and not so ironed, he still looks arrogant.
Those dark eyes were burning with suppressed anger.
He looked at Yan Qiang.
Looking at the staggering steps and the decisive figure leaving, the fire in his eyes burned more and more wildly.
The person who was in his arms just now has pushed him away.
Again, I pushed him away.
Yan Qiang is still struggling to pull Yan Ce.
"Let go! Did you hear me when I told you to let go?! Yan Qiang, let go!"
Yan Ce yelled through gritted teeth.
Yan Qiang's steps faltered.
She held Yan Ce tightly with her fingertips. No tears could be seen on that pale face, and even in her eyes, there was only a light red afterglow.
After being extremely angry, I became fearless.
She turned her head to look at Yan Ce and asked calmly: "Will you be relieved of your hatred if I die?"
Yan Ce suddenly paused.
He turned his head and looked at Yan Qiang in disbelief.
"Obviously you are running the company, you are obviously the one who turned the tide and brought the Yan family back on track, which was on the verge of destruction. You are obviously talented and talented. You work hard day and night, and you win one project after another for the company. You have led the company to prosperity, but just because I slept with him, all your efforts and achievements have been completely denied. The person you should hate is not him, but me."
"no……"
"yes!"
Yan Qiang's hand was still holding him tightly, saying word by word, "It's me who has disgraced the Yan family. It's me who's sorry for you. It's okay if you hate me. I was the one who begged him in the first place. It has nothing to do with him. You If you want to hit me, hit me."
She grabbed Yan Ce's hand and slapped her face hard.
Yan Ce was startled.
He subconsciously withdrew his hand, interrupting this absurd and ridiculous behavior.
"Are you crazy?"
With a look of disbelief on his face, he pointed at Huo Qi and asked Yan Qiang, "You still defend a man who drove you away in the middle of the night and asked you to follow him blindly? Are you blind or blind?"
Huo Qi's face suddenly darkened.
He strode forward, grabbed Yan Qiang and pulled her directly to him. In front of Yan Ce, he held her chin and lowered his head to kiss her.
Yan Qiang struggled, but Huo Qi kissed her more and more fiercely.
Until "pop", another slap hit Huo Qi's face.
This was the second slap she had slapped him today.
Huo Qi didn't move.
Yan Qiang took two steps back and opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to speak.
The palms of my hands are still numb.
She subconsciously squeezed her palms, already preparing for the worst.
Huo Qi moved his cheeks and his voice was so cold it could turn into ice.
"Get out!"
Yan Ce was stunned for a moment, but suddenly he heard Huo Qi yelling for him to get lost. He wanted to step forward and scream again, but was pulled back by Yan Qiang again.
"time to go."
She turned around and pulled Yan Ce out with all her strength.
The palms of my hands were still burning.
It was as if an arrow was shooting at her back. Her slender back was stiff, and she walked out step by step, not daring to look back.
The living room became quiet for a moment.
Empty.
Huo Qi stood there, with a terrifyingly dark face, and a gloom in his eyes that could overturn a building.
Until the footsteps became farther and farther away and disappeared into the night.
The phone rang again.
Looking at the word "Ruan Yin" on the screen, he hung up the phone, pulled open the collar of his shirt angrily, turned around and strode upstairs.
…
"explain!"
Sitting in the car, Yan Ce was still livid, unwilling to accept the reality of tonight.
Yan Qiang was very quiet.
She looked at the time and estimated that Liang Xun would be here soon. Instead of explaining, she asked, "Did Ruan Yin ask you to come?"
Yan Ce paused slightly and looked at her with a cold face, "Can't I come?"
"Then have you ever thought about why she asked you to come?" Yan Qiang did not avoid Yan Ce's gaze, "Guess, what does she want?"
Ruan Yin and Huo Qi have both been on trending searches, and it is impossible for Yan Ce not to know about them.
"What did you ask him for?"
Yan Ce refused to give in.
"Today is the anniversary of Huo Shiqing's death. Aunt Su asked Ruan Yin to go to Wan'an Mountain, but she was humiliated and driven away at the cemetery."
Yan Qiang looked at Yan Ce, "She thinks I did this. She wants to take revenge on me for the humiliation and embarrassment she suffered today."
"You know that's not what I'm asking!"
Yan Ce was irritable.
If he knew what happened on Wan'an Mountain today, he would definitely not show up at the gate of Jingyuan tonight.
But it's too late to say anything now.
"Didn't he say everything? The Yan family was already in danger at that time. Everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie and stab the Yan family." Yan Qiang said, "I begged him to protect the Yan family."
The words "preserve the Yan family" are too general, but they have a clear meaning.
Keep it safe, keep it safe.
Yan Ce suddenly became silent.
Yan Qiang's cell phone rang.
It was Liang Xun calling.
Yan Qiang did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Yan Ce, "Brother, you can hate me, but this matter has nothing to do with Huo Qi. We each get what we need. I don't regret the decision I made, and I don't want to do anything for it." To defend myself, I just stood from my perspective, from my perspective as a child, and wanted to do my part. I couldn't save dad, but I don't want to lose you and mom, or lose this family."
After saying that, she opened the door and got out of the car.
"Where are you going?!" Yan Ce reached out and grabbed her wrist. His whole body was in a mess. "You want to go back?"
"I'm not looking for him."
Yan Qiang broke away from his hand, "I only asked for one day's leave from the crew, and I have to take an early flight back to Qingzhou. My agent has come to pick me up, and I won't go home with you. You drive carefully by yourself."
The person who had turned around turned back again.
She looked at Yan Ce in the car, pursed her lips, and said, "Stop looking for him. If you can, just pretend that nothing happened tonight."
