Chapter 23: Qin Ruo Ying

Soon, an attendant served the beverages, and under Li Xiu Wen's persistent request, each one of them got a glass.
Putting down his glass, Zhao Yuan immediately asked with a ridiculing tone, "Chen Xi, you are so smart, your development now must be very good, right? You see, we are still old schoolmates, can you teach this old schoolmate a thing or two?"
Before Chen Xi could reply, Lin Xuan's face had already turned pale.
He did not even have the most basic courtesy. It seemed like Zhao Yuan clearly wanted to find a fault with Chen Xi.
That year, after getting rejected, Zhao Yuan sent a few people to investigate Chen Xi.
He then realized that he had even lost to a bastard who had to work part-time and rely on a scholarship to attend school.
Who is Zhao Yuan?
No matter his family background or whatever, he did not lose to Li Xiu Wen.

Behind Li Xiu Wen was a Lucrative Wen group, while he had Yuan Lang Group. Although the two were competitors, they were also business partners at the same time.
As for Chen Xi? He had nothing!
After graduating, Chen Xi went to work as a computer programmer for an unknown internet firm. His annual income could not even afford to buy Zhao Yuan's set of clothes.
However, this kind of lowly and no name bastard could even steal the heart of his goddess.
Thinking up till here, Zhao Yuan was so infuriated that he found it hard to suppress his emotions.
Lin Xuan worriedly glanced at Chen Xi.
However, Chen Xi laughed and calmly said, "I have not worked for a long time. My only job now is to stay at home and take care of the kid."
"Pu!"
Zhao Yuan was about to take a drink and upon hearing Chen Xi's words, he forcefully spat out a mouthful of water. Next, he used an extremely exaggerated tone and said, "Take care of the kid?"
"Sorry, sorry. My bad, it gave me quite a fright just now…"
Zhao Yuan immediately wiped to liquid off the table and suspiciously asked, "Isn't raising a kid a woman's job? Where's your wife?"
Once his sentence ended, the still confused Li Xiu Wen's face changed color.
"Enough!"
Lin Xuan sternly cut him off as she stood up and sternly berated him, "I cannot afford to accompany all these rich second generation heirs, you guys go have fun with yourselves!"
Upon saying that, she immediately dragged Chen Xi to leave with her.
Chen Xi softly patted her wrist and stood up with her. He looked at Lin Xuan and said, "It's fine, don't be angry. Let's go, it's also time to bring Nian Nian home to rest."
Lin Xuan still felt that she had not vented enough, and only after she gave Wang Lu a hateful glare, did she turn and walk towards the lift.
Looking at the situation, Fang Lei silently stood up, it seemed like she was about to leave with Lin Xuan.
"Xuan Xuan, don't go!"
Wang Lu worriedly glanced at Lin Xuan, she really did not think that things would turn out like this. It had been 6 to 7 years after their graduation, who would be so free to remember those past grievances.
Before the gathering even began, it had already ended.
Li Xiu Wen gave Zhao Yuan a look of blame before preparing to block Lin Xuan.

However, Zhao Yuan did not care anymore.
That resentment had swirled in his heart for a very long time and since it was quite rare to meet Chen Xi, Zhao Yuan felt that he would be letting himself down if he did not perform a bit.
Hence, he laid on the sofa and tilted his head while looking at the departing Chen Xi. He then loudly said to himself, "Well, you guys tell me, a big man has to stay at home every day just to take care of children, why is this so? Is it because his wife ran off with another man?"

"Hua La!"
After a dull sound, the long table beside Chen Xi suddenly broke in the middle. The wine bottles that were on the table crashed to the ground, covering the floor with several broken glass fragments.
This sudden commotion instantly surprised everyone on the balcony.
Carrying Nian Nian, Chen Xi turned around. He calmly looked at Zhao Yuan and asked word for word, "Do you have the gall to say it again?"
At that moment, Zhao Yuan felt that he had fallen into an ice house.
As if the blowing sea wind suddenly became a bone-piercing evil wind, Zhao Yuan instantly felt goosebumps all over his body and strands of hair stood on its ends.
Li Xiu Wen had been in huge situations before, hence, he could tell that something was wrong. He immediately blocked Chen Xi and continuously appeased him, “Zhao Yuan is drunk and he is just sprouting nonsense. Brother Chen Xi, don’t lower yourself to his level…”
However, Chen Xi ignored him and silently looked at Zhao Yuan.

Under Chen Xi's stare, Zhao Yuan slowly stood up.
Next, he suddenly spread out his arms as he slightly shrugged his shoulders. With a sneer, he looked at Chen Xi and asked, "Actually…I am very curious. Why would Qin Ruo Ying like a spineless coward such as yourself?"
When his words just ended, Chen Xi moved.

Li Xiu Wen felt his vision blurred as Chen Xi's image suddenly vanished from the spot.
"Bang!"
When he turned back and looked, Zhao Yuan was flying backwards like a broken ragdoll.
After flying for a full 2 to 3 meters, Zhao Yuan heavily crashed onto the fence.
If the glass was not made of stainless steel and reinforced glass, he would have plummeted to the ground floor, becoming a pile of meat paste.

Li Xiu Wen was stunned by the scene playing out in front of him.
He stared at Zhao Yuan in a daze, watching him sliding down the fence like mud and eventually, sitting limply on the floor.
Zhao Yuan lifelessly lowered his head as fresh blood continuously seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
Based on his current condition, he was almost at death's door.
A chilly thought instantly surfaced in his head.
Is…this even human?

He immediately ran towards Zhao Yuan and after analyzing his condition, he immediately shouted towards Wang Lu, "Hurry up and call! Call the ambulance!"
"Chen Xi, let's leave. Hurry."
When Lin Xuan saw the scene unfold, she was also stunned by it.
She only recovered when she heard Li Xiu Wen shouting for the police.
She quickly grabbed Chen Xi's arm and desperately dragged him out.
"Don't be scared, it's fine."
However, Chen Xi gently shook his head. His eyes did not contain a single trace of panic, only coldness.
Every dragon has a reverse scale, every wolf has a hidden thorn;
Those who peeped shall be killed and those who touch shall die.
Qin Ruo Ying.
These 3 words were his reverse scale.
Zhao Yuan could wantonly humiliate and disparage him however he liked. This was because Chen Xi could not be bothered to care.

After all, who would be so bored as to argue with an ant?
However, the only fault that Zhao Yuan committed was mentioning Qin Ruo Ying these 3 words.

… … …

Qin Ruo Ying, as if full of love.
Only when one is drunk do they truly know that it is a strong alcohol, only when one had fallen in love do they truly treasure love.
Long ago, carriages, horses and letters were extremely slow, one could only love one person in an entire lifetime.
Chen Xi was very fortunate, he was able to meet the best person at the best of times.
That year, they met.
That year, they became friends.

That year, they got married.
At the moment when they met, they had agreed to spend the rest of their lives together.
Hence, even if she was billions of miles away, Chen Xi would still find her back no matter what.
All for that moment, to meet her again.

… … …
He finally made it back after experiencing so many hardships. All he wanted to do was to spend a steady mortal life and to meet her one day with their daughter. However, some people just had to appear and create trouble.
Thinking up till here, Chen Xi could not help but glance at his daughter and realized that she was long asleep and had burrowed her small head in his chest.
They were outside for too long, which tired out the little kiddo.
"Let's go, it's time to go home."
