Chapter 257: The Reason Why Zhan Yanxun Treats Qiao Weiwei Specially
"Jiang Qianhui, we've already gone so far as to get a divorce, isn't that enough? How much more do you want to punish me? I've already explained what happened with Qiao Weiwei to you, it was an accident."
He actually used the words "punish him" to describe punishing him.
Jiang Qianhui's red lips curved slightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes as she said, "I never intended to punish you, I just wanted to... take revenge on you."
The words "punish him" made me think it was just a lovers' quarrel. But all she felt for him was revenge!
Seeing the look of disgust in Jiang Qianhui's eyes, Zhan Yanxun suddenly felt suffocated.
why?
"What kind of hatred is enough to make you look at me with such disgust?"
Zhan Yanxun truly didn't understand. He knew he was wrong. But did things really have to come to this?
Jiang Qianhui scoffed coldly. How dare he ask her what kind of hatred made her despise him so much?
"Then we need to ask you what exactly you did?"
Zhan Yanxun felt a tightness in his chest. He hadn't wanted to explain, but he knew that things had come to this point, and he had to.
"That night, I was drugged by my mother. Your relationship with my mother was already tense, and I didn't want it to get worse, so I didn't tell you. As for Qiao Weiwei, it was only that one time, and I didn't have any romantic feelings for her!"
"Whether you have those kinds of feelings for her or not is none of my business, Mr. Gu. We're already divorced. Your mother drugged you with good intentions, wanting a child. Isn't everything fine now? Qiao Weiwei is pregnant. You three can live happily together."
Jiang Qianhui spoke casually with a smile, but in reality, every word she uttered was like a knife piercing Zhan Yanxun's heart.
Even when they got their divorce certificate, Zhan Yanxun didn't think he would lose Jiang Qianhui, because he knew how much Jiang Qianhui loved him. He thought Jiang Qianhui would regret the divorce, but he never expected that not long after their divorce, she would marry Gu Xunjing.
"I made Qiao Weiwei abort the child in her belly. I won't let that child disgust you anymore."
"You having sex with her is disgusting enough to me, I don't care about the child or not."
Jiang Qianhui's eyes were icy cold, and every word she spoke was firm and resolute!
"I've explained myself to this extent, why won't you forgive me? Is it really because of Gu Xunjing? What do I lack compared to him? He's just a spoiled brat."
"At least he won't kill me and my whole family for another woman like you did!"
Seeing Zhan Yanxun's innocent questioning look, she finally couldn't hold back this time. In her previous life, he had personally killed her and her entire family. Could he really erase it all just because he couldn't remember in this life?
You know what? She really hated it when he looked at her with that innocent, questioning gaze, as if she were the victim.
Why? She was the one who cried every night and broke down, she was the one who repented at her parents' graves, and she was the one he killed with his own hands.
Why should someone who started this be questioned innocently?
Jiang Qianhui's hateful gaze made Zhan Yanxun panic, and her words were enough to shock him.
"Jiang Qianhui, what are you talking about? When did I personally kill you and cause the death of your whole family?"
“I had a dream. In the dream, you fell in love with Qiao Weiwei, and you were hopelessly in love with her. You wanted to divorce me, but I refused. You forced me to do it, and I was unwilling to accept it, so you killed me and caused the death of my whole family. When I woke up, I found that it was just a dream. I think this is probably a hint from God to me.”
A dream? He had that dream too. Zhan Yanxun's eyes suddenly filled with panic. Because he had also had that dream, in which he killed Jiang Qianhui with a gun, though he didn't know why.
Could it be, as Jiang Qianhui said, that it was for Qiao Weiwei? How could that be?
"You're overthinking it. My relationship with Qiao Weiwei is only that of a superior and subordinate. I've never had any romantic feelings for her."
Jiang Qianhui chuckled. "Men's words are truly deceitful."
I might as well lay it all out today, since I don't want to see that innocent look in his eyes anymore.
"You say you have no feelings for him? Don't you find that ridiculous? She only has a high school diploma, yet you gave her special treatment to get her a job at the Zhan Group."
You are Zhan Yanxun, always strict and intolerant of any flaws. Do you dare say you treat her the same as everyone else? Ridiculous. I've already said it: you can admit your favoritism towards her, you can even admit your love for her is unrequited. Now I've made way for you two; we're divorced. You can openly admit you love her. Why lie to me and deceive yourself?”
"Since you know I have high standards, why do you think I would fall in love with Qiao Weiwei? The reason I take extra care of Qiao Weiwei is because..."
Zhan Yanxun suddenly ripped off a necklace from his neck.
Jiang Qianhui recognized this necklace; it was Zhan Yanxun's most treasured necklace. In her previous life, she discovered that Qiao Weiwei also had one, and she was so jealous that she almost went crazy.
"Before I took over the Zhan Group, I spent two years on the border battlefield. I had a good brother who risked his life for me, but he couldn't come back because he was trying to save me. I brought his ashes back with my own hands. He told me that he had a half-sister and asked me to take care of her. Qiao Weiwei is his sister."
Even after many years, Jiang Qianhui could still sense the fluctuation in Zhan Yanxun's emotions when he brought up this matter. She used to think that Zhan Yanxun's gaze towards Qiao Weiwei was very different.
Sometimes she felt as if he was looking at someone else through Qiao Weiwei, but more often than not, that look made her jealous.
She thought that Zhan Yanxun's special treatment of Qiao Weiwei, as he said, was only because of her talent, but she never expected that there was another hidden reason.
"Your good brother asked you to take care of his sister, not to take care of her in bed."
Jiang Qianhui's words were like a knife piercing Zhan Yanxun's heart.
"I was drugged, it wasn't intentional."
"Whether you did it on purpose or not, since Qiao Weiwei is your benefactor's sister and you've already gotten her pregnant, you should take even more responsibility for her. I don't want us to be enemies to the death. Qiao Weiwei is already pregnant, so it's best if she gives birth to the child and the three of you can live happily together. Let's consider this a reconciliation with the past."
How can there be reconciliation?
It's just that she's pregnant now and doesn't want to get entangled with him.
Zhan Yanxun's hands clenched tightly. Why could she speak so casually? He truly didn't want to recall that past experience, their days in the prisoner-of-war camp. Those days of humiliation and abuse—he didn't want to talk about it at all. But he convinced himself that he had to explain to Jiang Qianhui. Yet why was Jiang Qianhui so nonchalant, so indifferent?
"Why are you so indifferent now? Is it because of Gu Xunjing?"
