Chapter 358: Chapter 0358: Who Let You In? Get Out!
Qi Shijie’s mother, Qi Jieyu, called him. Without even thinking, he could guess that it was definitely because he knelt on the ground and crawled three circles around Dongfang Shu like a dog.
After the call connected, before Qi Shijie could speak, Qi Jieyu’s voice transmitted through the receiver into Qi Shijie’s ears, "Shijie, are you alright?"
Qi Jieyu’s voice was filled with tension, anxiety, and concern.
Clearly, she was afraid that her son, having suffered such a great humiliation, might do something extreme.
Hearing Qi Jieyu’s concerned voice slowly warmed the coldness in Qi Shijie’s heart, "Mom, you already know!"
"Yes," Qi Jieyu took a deep breath, "Son, where are you now?"
"Mom, I’m fine, don’t worry about me. I can handle this blow!" Qi Shijie softly said, "Besides, if Han Xin could endure crawling between someone’s legs, why can’t I handle this small matter!"
"Kneeling in front of Dongfang Shu shouldn’t be considered too humiliating, right?" Qi Shijie said somewhat self-deprecatingly.
On the other end of the phone, Qi Jieyu felt a slight sourness in her heart upon hearing Qi Shijie’s words. She understood her own son better than anyone else.
Qi Shijie was a proud man. Now, being forced by Dongfang Shu to kneel on the ground like a dog, how could he possibly be alright!
But her son was sensible, and he wouldn’t let her worry much or be overly anxious.
"Shijie, you did very well this time," Qi Jieyu took a deep breath and said, "But Shijie, bear with it for now. Once mom frees up her hands, I’ll deal with Dongfang Shu!"
"Daring to make my son, Qi Jieyu’s son, kneel, I’ll make her life a living hell!"
"Mom, I want Dongfang Shu to become my plaything!" Qi Shijie’s eyes flashed with a dark light.
"Good, son, just endure for a bit longer. Once mom frees up her hands, I’ll definitely take care of that wretched woman, Dongfang Shu. I’ll personally deliver her to you, to be your plaything!" Qi Jieyu said sinisterly, "As for that little bastard who bet with you, mom will take care of him first!"
Qi Jieyu’s voice was filled with an unprecedented hatred.
She regarded Qi Shijie as the apple of her eye. Now, being humiliated by Ye Xunhuan and Dongfang Shu like this, how could she possibly let it go?
She couldn’t touch Dongfang Shu at the moment, but Ye Xunhuan was a different story.
Just a man who relied on a woman for his livelihood, she, Qi Jieyu, didn’t believe that Dongfang Shu would really dare to turn against her if she acted against him!
"Mom, he has recorded a video!"
"I’ll have someone retrieve it!" Qi Jieyu said emphatically, "Son, relax for a while recently, and call mom if you have any problems!"
"Mom, I want that little bastard to kneel in front of me!"
"Good, I’ll have someone bring him to you, repentant!"
Afterwards, Qi Shijie slowly hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Qi Shijie exhaled deeply and then lit a cigarette for himself.
He didn’t tell Qi Jieyu about Xu Mingzhe. Dealing with Dongfang Shu was already not a simple matter. Adding Xu Mingzhe would make it even more complicated!
So, he planned to wait for Qi Jieyu to take care of Dongfang Shu before making a move on Xu Mingzhe.
To make Xu Mingzhe understand the cost of scheming against him!
But was this matter really leaked by Xu Mingzhe?
Perhaps not likely!
How could the Widow Consort, feared by the entire Zhonghai province, not know the strategies of misleading and advancing secretly?
Besides, Qi Shijie and Xu Mingzhe were already at odds!
......
When Ye Xunhuan got back to the villa, it was already eight o’clock in the evening. Qiu Ruoxi was sitting on the sofa with a newspaper. When she saw Ye Xunhuan, she immediately put the newspaper aside and yelled towards the kitchen, "Mrs. Wang, stop what you’re doing, he’s back. Let’s eat!"
Hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan glanced at her and chuckled, "Baby wife, were you waiting to eat with me?"
Qiu Ruoxi, keeping a tight face and showing no emotion, said, "Who’s waiting for you? It’s Mrs. Wang who’s waiting for you, I’m waiting for Mrs. Wang!"
After hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s tongue-twisting words, Ye Xunhuan chuckled again. "You spoke that tongue twister quite well, but I still figured it out. You were waiting for me!"
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t bother to respond to Ye Xunhuan and just sat down at the dining table.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Wang laughingly said, "Young master, it’s actually the young lady who’s been waiting for you. I’ve just been keeping her company!"
Upon hearing Mrs. Wang’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s brows slightly furrowed. Although she was displeased with Mrs. Wang speaking like that, she knew it was all for the sake of her relationship with Ye Xunhuan, so she didn’t say much and just focused on eating.
The atmosphere at the dining table was really tense. Ye Xunhuan didn’t know what he had done to provoke her again, finding himself completely in a frosty situation.
Sitting next to Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan could even feel a chill as if a cold Siberian breeze was sweeping in!
After Qiu Ruoxi finished eating, she went upstairs without another word.
"Mrs. Wang, who provoked her?" Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but ask Mrs. Wang after Qiu Ruoxi had left.
"Young master, who else could provoke the young lady other than you?" Mrs. Wang said gently.
"Me?"
"Yes, young master. Although I don’t know what happened, the young lady has been in a bad mood since she got back," Mrs. Wang explained to Ye Xunhuan. "She said something about you going out causing trouble again and this time even poking a hole in the sky. She mentioned that you wouldn’t rest until you nearly kill yourself..."
"Isn’t life all about causing trouble?"
Mrs. Wang gave a bitter smile, "Young master, the young lady is worried about you. Did you get into trouble outside today...?"
"Sort of!"
"That’s it then, you got into trouble, and it seems not a small one either. How could the young lady be happy?" Mrs. Wang explained patiently. "The young lady is worried about you."
"But you didn’t call her once. The young lady has been here all day, and I’ve seen her take out her phone several times, probably to call you. But she probably didn’t want to lose face, so she puts it away every time she picks it up!"
Ye Xunhuan thought that besides when Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong were there, this woman would still call him; at other times, she must really need something.
"Girls’ pride can be quite delicate!" Mrs. Wang spoke calmly. "And young master, you came home so late without giving the young lady a heads-up, plus you’ve gone and invited trouble, do you think the young lady can be at ease?"
"You are her husband after all!" 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Hearing Mrs. Wang’s words, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but recall a saying: As long as they aren’t buried in the same grave, who’s whose husband? They’re all just temps!
Of course, he couldn’t say that to Mrs. Wang. At that moment, she was merely being kind and wanted to see him and Qiu Ruoxi happy together.
"Young master, I can see that the young lady is quite fond of you. If you put in more effort and irritate her less, you two can make up!"
"She’s interested in me?" Ye Xunhuan suddenly widened his eyes. "Then why is she still giving me the cold shoulder?"
"Women, they’re all like that!"
"Alright, well, young master, you should go see how the young lady is doing, she’s been worried about you all day!"
"Alright, I’ll go upstairs now!" Ye Xunhuan nodded and stood up to go upstairs.
When he arrived at the bedroom, he saw that Qiu Ruoxi was not there. He then headed to the study where, sure enough, he saw Qiu Ruoxi sitting at the desk, working intently.
As soon as she heard the door open, Qiu Ruoxi slowly turned her head and coldly swept him with her eyes, "Who let you in, get out!"
