Chapter 236 - Song Chuyi Was Furious

“Alright, I don’t want to disturb your lady gathering.” Li Shaobin placed his hands behind his head, interlocking his fingers. “Right, my subordinates investigated the matter just now. It was Zhao Zhu who colluded with CEO Qi and the other old fellows to give Guan Ying a hard time. They spiked Guan Ying’s drink just now but she didn’t drink it, so they wanted to use force. Along with them were three other new artistes and two models from Shang Wei. They were all told beforehand. Fu Yu, your company culture is too bad, ganging up on someone like that.”

“I will go back and settle it. I owe you a favor for this time,” Fu Yu said with a frown. “I’ll have to trouble you to send them back; I’m going to settle the matter on Zhao Zhu’s side.”

“Go ahead. However, Zhao Zhu dares to be so cocky now also because she’s about to get married to Xin Ziao in October,” Li Shaobin said and glanced at Ruan Yang.

Hmph, this woman who made use of him.

Ruan Yang lowered her head and pressed her lips together.

When they got into Li Shaobin’s car and were on their way back, Changqing sat at the front while Ruan Yang and the others sat behind. It was in the wee hours and everyone was exhausted.

“Aye, you haven’t said why you’re getting a divorce with Old Song,” Li Shaobin said.

“Don’t tell me you don’t know.” Changqing glanced at him. “You and Song Yunyang… weren’t all of you from the same school?”

Li Shaobin suddenly understood. Old Song ultimately couldn’t keep it under wraps. “Actually, there’s no need for a divorce. I feel that Old Song still has you in his heart.”

“You’re his brother—of course you’d put in a good word for him.” Jiang Duoyao smacked the back of his seat forcefully.

Li Shaobin’s hand trembled from the shock. Only women and vile characters were hard to deal with. He had better avoid the topic. He asked Changqing with rumination, “How does it feel like to fight?”

Changqing thought for a while with a bitter face and said, “I just thought that the man probably hadn’t cleaned his ears for a very long time. When I was biting his ear, it was quite smelly.”

Li Shaobin: “…”

Is that the point?

When he took them to Ruan Yang’s apartment, Changqing reminded him once again, “Don’t you tell Song Chuyi; don’t say it. if you tell him, I’ll ignore you.”

What a threat.

Li Shaobin pressed his lips together.

He drove home and went straight to bed.

He had no idea how long he slept for when he felt someone pulling his arm forcefully, waking him up.

“Who is it? Waking me up from my sleep, looking for a beating…” When Li Shaobin got a clear look of Song Chuyi’s gloomy face, his words were stuck in his throat. “Old Song, you… what are you doing here?”

“Why don’t you tell me? I’ve been calling you all morning.” Song Chuyi’s face sank. “Are you still my brother? Yesterday, Changqing and the rest were beaten up at Northern Latitude. It was such a huge matter and you were there. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Li Shaobin was guilty. Now, his sleepiness was all gone regardless of how tired he was. “Isn’t it just because… I was thinking that you must’ve slept seeing how it was so late? I wanted to give you a call when I woke up. Aye. But, how did you find out?”

“I got to the hospital early in the morning and my colleagues and patients at the hospital were talking about it. How could I not know?” Thinking of Changqing’s face that was beaten up so horribly to endure, Song Chuyi was furious. “There were even videos on Weibo. Weren’t they badly beaten up? Was it serious? Who did it? Why didn’t you send them to my hospital after that? Where is she now?”

“Er…” Li Shaobin scratched the back of his head in distress. “They were treated at a hospital near Northern Latitude and were wrapped up. They’re… alright. Their lives aren’t in danger. I’ve also dealt with the people who beat them up.”

Hearing that, Song Chuyi’s expression didn’t change for the better. It became worse.

“I… could it be that I did wrong?” Li Shaobin felt pins and needles from Song Chuyi’s staring. He propped himself up.

“I’m Changqing’s husband. Shouldn’t you have told me this immediately and allowed me to settle it?” Song Chuyi started expressionlessly.

Li Shaobin scratched his pitifully short hair. “Old Song, don’t tell me you want to show your heroic, saving the damsel in distress side in front of your wife or settle the score for her to prove your charm?”

Song Chuyi: “…”

Li Shaobin suddenly wanted to laugh out loud. To think that Old Song was so childish too. “Old Song, you’re so scheming. However, I’m so sorry, last night, I was the one who saved the damsel in distress. Haha, you have no idea how much those few women admire me.”

Song Chuyi couldn’t listen on. He couldn’t resist the urge and opened his wardrobe. When he saw that it was filled with only black, the corner of his lips twitched. So it was like this indeed…

“Aye, what are you doing, opening my wardrobe.” Li Shaobin was embarrassed.

“You’re getting better. Put on your clothes quickly and take me to them. I took an urgent leave to leave work now; I have limited time.” Song Chuyi frowned and picked up a set of clothes, throwing it at him. “Put these on while you walk.”

“Hey, that’s enough.” Li Shaobin sounded like he was gritting his teeth. Who could put on their clothes while walking? “I promised Changqing to not tell you.”

Song Chuyi squinted. Very well. He had finally said the real reason. “Are you my brother or her friend? Don’t forget that if I didn’t risk my life to save you then, you wouldn’t have seen the sun a very long time ago.”

Li Shaobin opened his mouth helplessly. “But what on earth is going on between you and Yunyang? I feel that if you can’t forget Yunyang or if you haven’t thought of how you should deal with it, you shouldn’t be with Yan Changqing for the time being. Now that she knows it all, this would be unfair to her too. Those women are quite real but are also quite pitiful. Men don’t even take them seriously.”

Song Chuyi was silent for a while. He continued to pull Li Shaobin along. “Who said I don’t take her seriously? She’s my wife. Tell me who bullied them last night later. I’ll go and beat them up again.”

“Then you’ll have to make trouble with Zhao Zhu.” Li Shaobin said, “This was all planned by Zhao Zhu.”

Song Chuyi frowned. “Why is it that b*tch again?”

Li Shaobin: “…”

He never would’ve thought that Old Song would call someone a “b*tch”.

When Li Shaobin’s car drove to Ruan Yang’s apartment, Song Chuyi wasn’t surprised.

After they went up, Li Shaobin pressed the doorbell while Song Chuyi hid by the side.

When Ruan Yang woke up and was on the phone with her assistant, she heard the doorbell and went over to the peephole to take a look. When she saw Li Shaobin, she opened the door with a frown. “What are you doing here?”

Li Shaobin blinked. Song Chuyi walked out from the side.

Ruan Yang’s face changed and she quickly closed the door. Song Chuyi reached his hand out to block her and walked in with large strides.

“Hey, Mr. Song, I don’t welcome you here,” Ruan Yang said coldly.

“Where is Changqing?” Song Chuyi turned around to ask.

“Not with me.” Ruan Yang pushed him out.

Song Chuyi glanced at the familiar sandals by the side and lifted his feet to go upstairs.

Ruan Yang quickly followed him up. Li Shaobin pulled her back guiltily.

“Don’t pull me.” Ruan Yang stared at him furiously. “What did you promise us last night? How can you men go back on your words? To think that I thought you weren’t bad last night. I never thought that you would be so sly. Don’t they say that people in the triad business mean what they say? How are you leading your brothers by not keeping your words…”

Li Shaobin shuffled back from her words.

Women couldn’t be hit or scolded. “Aye, I saved you girls last night, after all. If it weren’t for me, you girls would’ve really been beaten to death. Let me tell you—CEO Qi and his gang are quite powerful in Northern City. Normal people wouldn’t dare to offend them.”

Ruan Yang’s face suddenly stiffened a little. However, she recovered quickly. “Saving us was one matter, but now, Song Chuyi has totally cast Changqing aside after having another woman. You two are friends. You’ve long known Song Chuyi’s motive for marrying Changqing, right? Jackals of the same tribe.”

Li Shaobin stared wide-eyed.

At that time, Changqing’s shriek came from upstairs.

The two looked up. Changqing, who was still in her pyjamas, was carried by Song Chuyi on his shoulder. Changqing’s arms and legs waved about, clawing and kicking his back.

Song Chuyi grabbed her two claws and walked uprightly towards the door and even instructed Li Shaobin, “Help me block them. I’ll chat with her for a while and will send her up later.”

Ruan Yang was about to rush up in a huff. Li Shaobin stood by the door with a bitter face to block her. He tried to dig out the lines from the drama serials he watched with his old grandmother from the past and said, “Don’t worry, Old Song won’t eat her up. They’re husband and wife after all. As the saying goes, one would rather tear down a temple than destroy a marriage, right? Also, you forced a kiss on me previously and I didn’t even make trouble with you for taking advantage of me. Do you know how precious my lips are? There are so many women who want to kiss them but can’t…”

Jiang Duoyao and Guan Ying happened to walk over and hear that line. The two of them jumped.

Ruan Yang’s pretty face twitched. She slammed the door shut, shutting the person outside.

Jiang Duoyao blinked. Her expression was weird and dazed. “Ruan Yang, when did your taste become so different?”

Ruan Yang: “…”

At the carpark, Song Chuyi threw Changqing straight in the car and switched on the interior lights.

“Song Chuyi, I want to divorce you. Divorce. How dare you treat me like this? What do you take me for? Goods?” Changqing pointed at him angrily.

Song Chuyi held onto her finger and pulled her to his chest, looking at the wounds on her face closely. “Why didn’t you tell me you were going to fight? Take a look at yourself? Such amateurish skills yet you dare to fight? Does it hurt?”

His voice was too deep and sounded solemn, yet there was a trace of gentleness.

Changqing subconsciously recalled the helplessness of last night. Her eyes reddened and she turned her face away. “I’m not in pain. What would be the point of telling you? You were probably hugging your first love in bed, being all lovey-dovey.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Song Chuyi chided softly. “I can’t even handle just you, a torturous little vixen. Where would I have the thoughts to look for other women?”

“You know it yourself.” Changqing moved her arms stubbornly and tried to struggle free. However, her struggles instead pulled on her wounds and she almost cried from the pain. “Enough. You know very well that I’m injured, yet you’re still treating me like this.”

“I’m afraid you’ll leave. I’ve been looking everywhere for you these days.” Song Chuyi sighed softly and frowned. “Changqing, can we talk calmly?”
