"For the sake of us being husband and wife, I hope you won't make things difficult for me anymore, okay?" I softened my attitude and said to Jin Han.
Because I know that Jin Han will really do some shameless things.
I just hope it can make him relent.
"Why didn't you save some face for me because we were husband and wife?" Jin Han's voice dropped and he asked me coldly.
I was stunned, "What?"
"I have told you countless times not to have anything to do with Zhou Yanli, otherwise I will become the laughing stock of others. What did you do? Have you forgotten?" Jin Han looked up at me with hatred for me in his eyes. .
It's hatred. I've seen indifference, anger, ruthlessness, and sarcasm in his eyes, but it's rare to see such hatred and disgust.
Even during the five years we were married, he never looked at me like this.
So it was because of Zhou Yanli and I being together that he felt that he had lost face and was ridiculed by the outside world that he might have been a cuckold early on.
But he never thought that during the five years of our marriage, he had affairs with so many women, and my head had long been said to be a prairie.
But now I don't continue to hate Jin Han because of those things. I have already let go of it.
"Before we divorced, Zhou Yanli and I were innocent and had no ambiguity. What other people say is their business and I don't care, but you can't blame me because of other people's nonsense!" I replied.
Jin Han didn't believe it at all, not to mention he didn't believe it now. He had already become suspicious of Zhou Yanli and me before we divorced.
Now that I am finally together with Zhou Yanli, it seems that those suspicions in his heart have been confirmed, and he wants to put all the sins on me.
He sneered disdainfully, "What's the use of what you said? I only listen to what other people say."
I'm really pissed off by this guy. Why is he so insistent on blaming me?
"Then what do you want me to do?" I endured the anger in my heart and wanted to ask him clearly. Is it really just for me to help him convince Zhang Xiuqian to sell him the painting?
Jin Han showed a satisfied smile and said, "I'm just waiting for your words. Don't forget that I'm still your creditor."
"I haven't forgotten. Do you want me to convince my master to sell you the painting and then offset all my debts?" I thought that was what he meant. At least he wasn't threatening me with my father.
Jin Han was a little surprised at first, as if he was surprised by my answer, and then he smiled coldly, "Is your understanding so poor now? I said, if you are unwilling to help me, your father will be the one to suffer."
"In addition to threatening me with my father, what else will you do?" I asked angrily, "Aren't you going to get engaged to Nan Yu? The dispute between us should end here!"
"Although I'm getting engaged to Nan Yu, it doesn't mean the grudge between us is over. Shu Wanyi, I will settle things with you slowly." When Jin Han said the last few words, It feels a bit like gritting one's teeth.
The atmosphere between the two of us became more and more tense. I was quickly thinking about how to deal with Jin Han next and make him stop targeting me.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, the door was pushed open again.
Zhou Yanli walked in with a small cake in his hand. He originally had a faint smile on his face, but after seeing Jin Han, his expression turned pale.
My heart was hanging because I didn't expect Zhou Yanli to come here suddenly.
"Zhou Yanli, why are you here?" I immediately stood up and took the small cake from Zhou Yanli's hand, asking with some anxiety.
After Zhou Yanli saw the anxiety on my face, he smiled, as if to make me less nervous, "I made this little cake myself and brought it here for you to try."
Zhou Yanli has always been very good at making pastries, and the shape alone is very beautiful, no less than the cakes made by cake shops outside.
After placing the small cake, I opened it directly. In order not to displease Zhou Yanli, I immediately cut a piece of cake and tasted it. Then my eyes lit up and I praised, "It's delicious! Thank you!"
"As long as you like it. I remember that you prefer taro flavor, so you use taro cream." Zhou Yanli saw that I seemed to like this little cake, and the smile on his face became gentler.
I nodded, ignored Jin Han, and simply cut a piece of cake for Zhou Yanli, and the two of us ate together as if no one else was watching.
Jin Han watched from the side, his eyes as cold as ice, acting as a bystander without emotion or warmth.
Halfway through eating, Zhou Yanli reached over and gently wiped the cream from the corner of my mouth.
"Sorry, I'm really hungry." I was a little embarrassed and quickly took a piece of paper to wipe the corners of my mouth.
"It's okay, I think it's cute." Zhou Yanli shook his head and didn't think I was making a fool of myself.
The deep affection between the two of us turned Jin Han beside him into a sculpture. Finally he couldn't sit down anymore. He stood up, arranged his clothes casually, and said to me indifferently, "You said what I said?" Think it over carefully.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
After Jin Han left, Zhou Yanli asked me, "What was it that he asked you to consider just now?"
I put down the cake in my hand and my mood hit rock bottom. I told Zhou Yanli exactly what Jin Han had threatened me just now.
Rather than being threatened by Jin Han, it is better to rely on Zhou Yanli. He will find a way to face it with me.
Zhou Yanli frowned after hearing what I said, "He is so shameless, and he still threatens you now."
I nodded in agreement, Jin Han is a shameless scumbag.
But now I have to figure out how to stop him from continuing to attack my dad. If I can find evidence that proves my dad's innocence in a short period of time, then Jin Han's threat can be ignored.
"Zhou Yanli, will you help me?" I asked shamelessly. I couldn't think of any other way now but to take the initiative to ask him for help.
Zhou Yanli didn't hesitate at all, "Of course, I will face and solve this problem with you."
I knew he would definitely accompany me, but I didn't want him to help me before, and I didn't want us to end up tied together because of our kindness, but now Jin Han has pushed me too hard, and I can only do this.
My behavior may be a bit like Xiang Qing in the previous life. I feel a little disgusted with myself for doing this, but my reason is telling me that I must do this.
In order to express my inner feelings, I took the initiative to hug Zhou Yanli, holding his waist tightly with both hands, "Thank you."
