"Don't mention Yin Ziyuan anymore. He cheated on me, so we broke up." Her confession soon attracted her parents' attention.
In an instant, the annoyance on Yun Xiaofang's face was replaced by shock. However, in the next second, she was overwhelmed by rage.
"That bastard has the audacity to cheat on you?" Yun Xiaofang had been educating people all her life. No matter how angry she was, Qi Mei had never heard her curse.
But now, Yun Xiaofang's words kept ringing in her ears. "We never complained that he didn't have a house in the capital, nor did we complain that he was not a local and didn't have any connections here. I was still discussing with your dad that when you got married in the future, we would buy you a house as long as he was a nice person. But he cheated on you? My daughter is beautiful, well-educated, and has a good job. He profited a lot from being with you. He must be blind to cheat on you! Asshole!"
Yun Xiaofang kept scolding. She was completely agitated by his affair.
Qi Mei chuckled as she listened.
Her parents looked at her, thinking that she had gone crazy from the shock.
"I just didn't expect that I was so perfect in your eyes," Qi Mei explained.
Yun Xiaofang didn't know what to say.
"Don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry over such a person," Qi Mei comforted her.
"When did that happen?" asked Yun Xiaofang.
"About half a month ago," Qi Mei replied after calculating.
"Then why didn't you tell us earlier? And you're still hiding it from us? If I had known it, why would I have mentioned him? That's disgusting!" Yun Xiaofang raised her voice.
Qi Mei was silent. She didn't say anything earlier because she felt embarrassed. She had high self-esteem since she was young and had grown up smoothly. It was the first time in her life that she had been so embarrassed. Sometimes, she felt ridiculous at the thought of it. The person who had an affair didn't mind becoming publicly known, but on the contrary, she, who had been cheated on, was still trying to hide it. She felt even more humiliated.
Qi Sheng reached out and tugged at Yun Xiaofang's sleeve under the table, indicating for her to stop asking.
Yun Xiaofang took a deep breath. "It's good that we know who he is before it's too late so that you can cut your losses in time. My colleagues and friends are still asking me about you. Everyone knows that you are outstanding. Who he thinks he is? Without him, you'll find someone better."
Qi Mei was about to give a nod. Indeed, she had already found one who surpassed Yin Ziyuan in all aspects. But then she heard Yun Xiaofang say indignantly, "I'll ask my old friends tomorrow. You can go on a blind date in a few days. Sure enough, we have to find someone we know very well."
Qi Mei, who was eating the bird's nest, choked and coughed repeatedly. Qi Sheng quickly got up and pulled out a tissue for her.
"No need," Qi Mei flatly refused.
Yun Xiaofang was about to retort when Qi Sheng said, "She's just not in the mood to go on a blind date after what happened. Just wait a little longer. She knows what to do."
Qi Mei nodded silently. She did know what she was doing. She settled the lifetime business in one step and was married now. However, she knew that this was not a good time to talk about this matter, so she obediently shut up.
After dinner, Qi Mei took out her phone and clicked on Song Bojian's profile picture.
[I received the takeout food. Thank you.]
She put down her phone and smiled knowingly. After telling her parents what happened between her and Yin Ziyuan, she found that her mental burden seemed to have been lifted a lot. As for when she would confess about their marriage, it was up to fate.
It was a dreamless night.
The next morning, Qi Mei was woken up and rushed out to catch the subway. But when she passed by the Song family's house, she saw the black Maybach parked by the roadside again.
She hesitated, wondering if she should say hello to Song Bojian. Then, she heard a voice behind her. "Qi Mei!" She looked up and saw Song Bojian, who was wearing casual clothes, slowly walking out of the door.
She smiled. "What a coincidence. Ha-ha. Good morning."
"No, it's not." He stared at her, his lips curving into a smile.
She got confused. Did he say it wasn't a coincidence? Then he was…
"I was waiting for you." He directly eliminated her doubts. "I'll send you to the company," he said calmly.
He took in the shocked expression on her face and reminded her word by word, "Do you need me to go back and bring our marriage certificate here?"
Her immediate reaction was that he had really amazing acting skills because, for her, the main reason they got married was to make Grandma Xiao happy and rest assured.
Of course, this was only her one-sided thought.
