Chapter Twenty-Three: I Can Swear
Seeing that Ran Xixi and Zhan Xingchuan didn't speak, Qiao Sijie hesitated a little, but still took the initiative to say: "I'll send Xi Xi back, she didn't rest well last night." ”
After saying that, he turned his head to look at her and whispered, "Go upstairs and go sleep for a while." ”
Ran Xixi put down the water glass in his hand, and did not answer, but looked at Zhan Xingchuan coldly, and asked in an unkind tone: "What are you doing at my house?" According to the original divorce agreement, you can come to see Rui Rui twice a month, but you must finalize the time and place with me one day in advance. If you don't leave, don't blame me for driving people away!"
The people around were quite surprised when they saw her fierce voice.
Except, of course, for two men who know the inside story.
"You forgot to take something with you last night, I'll bring it back for you and see if there's anything missing. ”
Zhan Xingchuan turned around, took the handbag that Ran Xixi had left in the room, and handed it to her.
She didn't react at all, she didn't even look at it, his hand had to stop in mid-air, and finally, Zhan Xingchuan put things on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
"Let's talk, I mean, talk individually. ”
Zhan Xingchuan patiently stood up straight, and then glanced at Qiao Sijie next to him as if he was inadvertent.
He had been here for most of the night before he finally waited for her to come back safe and sound, and now he was naturally anxious to have a good talk with her, in the absence of anyone else, especially Qiao Sijie.
"There's nothing to talk about between me and you, if you have to say anything, just say it here. No one here is more qualified to stand here than you. ”
Ran Xixi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke up, because she hadn't slept all night, her face was too pale, and her eyes were a little red and swollen.
Zhan Xingchuan took a step forward, stopped talking, hesitated for a few seconds, and still asked, "Why did you leave the hotel last night?" I went to look for you, but you are already gone. ”
She was startled, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of annoyance: "You sent someone to follow me? How do you know that I am in the hotel? Zhan Xingchuan, why do you still have the face to follow me? You scum!"
Ran Xixi really couldn't understand that after what happened last night, he dared to do this.
"I didn't, and if I had sent someone to follow you, I wouldn't have been looking for you on the street for hours like a headless fly. If it hadn't been for Ah Shan's call, I'd ......"
She coldly interrupted Zhan Xingchuan: "It turns out that the two of them have told you." I originally thought that this little couple was simple and kind, and since they promised me, they would not come to you again. Unexpectedly, I saw the wrong person again. ”
After speaking, Ran Xixi pinned his face to the side vigorously.
Glancing at Qiao Sijie who was standing next to him again, Zhan Xingchuan said helplessly: "What happened last night, I can explain to you well why I returned to the 'even' ...... with her."
Although he was reluctant to talk about his private affairs in front of Qiao Sijie, due to the special situation, Zhan Xingchuan had no choice but to take the initiative to talk about last night's incident, trying to explain to Ran Xixi that he had not happened to Qiao Rachel.
I thought that Ran Xixi would refuse to listen, but unexpectedly, she didn't say a word, her hands were clenched into fists, placed on her legs, her upper body sat up straight, and the whole person was in a stiff state.
"I had a party last night, I met her at a drinking party, she took the initiative to show me goodwill, and said that she is under a lot of pressure now, and Qiao Yanne is very disappointed in her. Later, I had two drinks with her, and my head was a little dizzy, and when I came to my senses, I was already in the car, and I found that she had followed the car. ”
Although he was telling the truth, mentioning his entanglement with Qiao Rachel in person still made Zhan Xingchuan feel a little ashamed.
Without waiting for Ran Xixi to speak, Qiao Sijie, who had not spoken, suddenly asked with a surprised face: "Yanne, could it be that you were with ...... last night?" What the hell are you ......?"
In the early hours of the morning, Qiao Sijie was still working overtime in the company, and suddenly received a call from Ran Xixi, and it was from a landline.
On the phone, her tone didn't sound right, he kept asking her what happened, Ran Xixi didn't say much, only asked him if he could come over and bring her a set of women's clothes by the way.
Qiao Sijie asked for the address and found that it was a hotel, so he was even more worried, so he immediately went to buy a set of clothes, hurried to the hotel to pick her up, and took her back to his apartment.
Under his repeated questioning, Ran Xixi was only willing to tell him that Zhan Xingchuan had an affair with another woman, and she inadvertently broke it, so she could only leave in a hurry, so that she was so embarrassed that she didn't even bring money and mobile phones, but fortunately she met a friend on the road and helped her open a room.
As for who the woman was, she didn't say, and Qiao Sijie didn't ask much. He was not interested in Zhan Xingchuan and the woman's messing around at all, but as soon as he heard his brother's name at this moment, he naturally couldn't stay out of the matter anymore, and he had to ask clearly on the spot.
Zhan Xingchuan glanced at him and immediately brushed it off: "I didn't do anything, I can swear that she will leave no more than ten minutes after entering the door." Then I immediately asked the driver to pick me up, looked for Xi Xi everywhere, and didn't come back until the middle of the night. Both the driver and Da Chen can testify for me, and if you don't believe me, you can also check the surveillance video of the club. ”
"Whether it's the driver or the people in the clubhouse, they're all your people, how can they not do things for you with your money? As for the surveillance video, depending on your means, it is not difficult to make trouble. ”
With a faint sneer, Ran Xixi shook his head nonchalantly, as if he was not interested in Zhan Xingchuan's words at all, let alone seek verification.
However, Qiao Sijie was a little excited, he stared at Zhan Xingchuan, his eyes did not blink, his expression was unprecedentedly serious, and he continued to ask: "What is the situation? Why are you with her?
Anyway, Rachel Joe is now Qiao Yanne's wife, his brother-in-law, and the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, and her every move will affect the reputation of the Qiao family. If she really got involved with other men, once the matter got out, it would be a strong harm to the Qiao family and Qiao Yanne.
Therefore, as soon as Qiao Sijie heard the news, he immediately became nervous.
"You're not qualified to ask me in that tone! Nothing happened to me or her!Mr. Joe, I think you'd better leave now and not affect our conversation......"
Zhan Xingchuan's suppressed anger finally erupted, he felt that if Ran Xixi came to question him, it would be forgivable, but what kind of green onion is he, why is he screaming at himself here!
What's more, it was obviously Joe Rachel who took the initiative to come to him to give him a hug, and it was not him who coveted someone else's wife.
"Don't worry, if you're interested in other people's wives, I can't do it anyway. On the other hand, some people do bad things in the name of friendship! It seems that they are really unseemly. Mr. Joe, do you say yes?"
He raised an eyebrow at a slanted angle, his tone full of provocation.
"You! You don't refer to Sang and scold Huai here! Zhan Xingchuan, I will investigate this matter, if you are innocent, I will not wronged you. But if you do do something ugly, I will never let you go!"
Qiao Sijie, who has always rarely been angry, also started a fire, although he and Qiao Yanne had a quarrel over the family property, but it was always his biological brother, the stakes were high, he would not sit idly by and let others ride on the heads of Qiao's family to shit and pee!
"Okay, I'm afraid that you won't check, you must check it well, so that you can pay me justice! Also, remember to go back and tell your brother, let him take care of his wife, and don't let that woman make a fuss outside all day long......"
Because Zhan Xingchuan had no ghost in his heart, he was even more arrogant, so he simply got into trouble with Qiao Sijie.
"Enough is enough! Shut up!
Ran Xixi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly burst out with a scream, successfully making the two men stop talking, and no one dared to say anything more.
After a pause, she looked at Qiao Sijie, and her tone was as calm as possible: "Sijie, I'm fine, you can go back quickly." ”
Maybe he was really anxious to find out what happened last night, Qiao Sijie didn't insist anymore, he nodded to Ran Xixi, told her a few words, and left in a hurry.
In the living room, there were only two people left, Ran Xixi and Zhan Xingchuan.
Sister-in-law Chen and Sister Li were both upstairs with Zhan Ruijue, ostensibly playing with him, but in fact, they were afraid that he would run downstairs and accidentally hear the adults' disputes.
Determined that Zhan Ruijue would not go downstairs, Ran Xixi directly had a showdown with Zhan Xingchuan: "I plan to take Rui Rui abroad, according to the current laws in China, I am Rui Rui's guardian, and I have the right to decide where to take him to live." If you have any objections to the matter, you can have lawyers on both sides talk to you. ”
He was stunned, he didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Although Zhan Xingchuan knew that Ran Xixi would definitely be furious because of last night's misunderstanding, he didn't expect that she would want to take the child away!
"I disagree. You should know very well that as long as I don't agree, no one can take Rui Rui away. ”
After the first few seconds of surprise, Zhan Xingchuan quickly reacted, he immediately refused, and told Ran Xixi to stop dreaming.
She wasn't surprised when he said that.
"I'm not consulting with you, I'm informing you. It doesn't matter if you don't allow it, I can call the police and even apply for a writ of habeas corpus. ”
Ran Xixi thought about it, she could take Zhan Ruijue to participate in that refresher class with her, and wait for the half-year study period to expire, and then return to France to settle down.
"Call the police?"
As soon as he heard these two words, Zhan Xingchuan couldn't help but let out a sneer, and he was just about to speak, when his mobile phone suddenly rang.
Glancing at the caller number, he immediately picked it up and hurried into the distance, as if he didn't want others to hear the call.
