Chapter 561: Playing Hard to Get, Retreating to Advance
"How can it be."
Faced with Qin Lingzheng's series of soul-searching questions, Bai Yuan did not hesitate this time. Almost as soon as Qin Lingzheng fell, she gave a clear answer.
It's not "let's talk about it later" nor is it endless silence.
Just four words: "How is it possible?"
How can it be?
It's impossible!
The marriage between Bai Yuan and Pei Jin was for addition rather than subtraction.
It is no exaggeration to say that Bai Yuan has a lot of male friends, even 10% more than female friends.
After all, most of the people who got into trouble when they were young were boys. Once they got into trouble, it was a serious disaster that was unforgivable, and they would be punished immediately by being caned and their parents would be beaten up. It was not unfair at all.
Girls of the same age tend to be more modest and would not do such shameless things.
Therefore, the number of men who come to her and ask her to help mediate family conflicts has always remained high.
If you get into small troubles when you are young, you will get into big troubles when you grow up.
Bai Yuan helped them resolve hundreds of family disputes, big and small. One can imagine the value of the title "Sister Yuan".
The favors have been extended, but it is not time to reap the rewards yet.
At this time, Qin Lingzheng's words really reminded Bai Yuan.
Pei Jin complained about her close relationship with Qin Lingzheng, and the deeper meaning was that he was complaining about her contact with the opposite sex.
Today he would not like me helping the drunk Qin Lingzheng home, and tomorrow he would naturally not like me helping other friends of the opposite sex.
If the price of marrying Pei Jin is to "avoid friends of the opposite sex", her circle of contacts will be narrowed, and she may even become estranged from the families behind her friends of the opposite sex - after all, her friends will inherit the family business when they grow up.
Then there would be no meaning for her to marry Pei Jin.
In other words, she would not make such a great sacrifice for Pei Jin.
To her, Pei Jin and the Pei family are not that important.
This precedent cannot and will not be set.
Without looking at Pei Jin's obviously stunned reaction, Bai Yuan seemed to be talking to Qin Lingzheng, but in fact he was talking to Pei Jin:
"Don't think too much. We are of course friends. You can come to me anytime you want. The door of the Bai family is always open to you."
Seeing Pei Jin, who was about to smoke with anger, Qin Lingzheng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and then quickly flattened it, saying in embarrassment:
"But……"
He turned his head and glanced at Pei Jin with lingering fear, as if he was having a fierce inner struggle.
"Your fiancé seems very unhappy. I feel like he doesn't welcome me."
As he spoke, Qin Lingzheng seemed to have made up his mind and struggled to stand up from Bai Yuan and walk on his own.
"You guys quarreled because of me, it's all my fault. I'm so useless that I drank until I was dizzy and needed you to take me home..."
"If he doesn't agree, then forget it. I can go back by myself... too. Don't send Bai Yuan off. I'm asking too much. You can go with him. Just let me... walk back slowly by myself. It's the same."
As Qin Lingzheng spoke, he actually let go of Bai Yuan and stood up on his own.
But he didn't hold on for two seconds before he staggered and almost fell, and fell on Bai Yuan. But he pretended to be strong and struggled to stand up again.
Even though Bai Yuan was quick to help him, he still stubbornly pushed Bai Yuan's hand away, as if he was afraid of something, and glanced towards Pei Jin again.
"Since you have a fiancé, I won't bother you anymore. He is right..."
Qin Lingzheng chuckled and said self-deprecatingly: "...It's inappropriate."
When he heard the words "how is it possible", Pei Jin originally wanted to lose his temper with Bai Yuan, with the idea that he had to sort out the relationship today, so he wanted to have a big fight.
But when Qin Lingzheng took the initiative to take all the blame on himself, Pei Jin's heart tightened and he thought to himself that something was wrong. He immediately became alert and developed a deep sense of crisis.
Qin Lingzheng's words seemed to be a sign of weakness, as if he was actively giving in in the battle between him and himself, not daring to look directly at the enemy.
But in fact it is a step backward to advance!
It was too late to discover the trick at this time.
On one side is myself, who is arrogant and domineering, has no understanding of Bai Yuan's difficulties, and only knows how to make trouble and demand an explanation.
On one side is the childhood sweetheart Jieyuhua, who is considerate, takes all the blame on herself, doesn't get too entangled, and is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed just by looking at her.
Normal people know where their hearts should lean.
There is no harm without comparison.
It would be better if there was no comparison, because the control group had already been formed, and Pei Jin's self-esteem and arrogance, which he was proud of, were neither as considerate as Qin Lingzheng, nor as sensible as Qin Lingzheng, and he would not act like a spoiled child to please others.
On the other hand, Qin Lingzheng never said a word against Pei Jin from beginning to end, nor did he pay attention to his provocation. He just stuck to Bai Yuan, acting coquettishly and aggrieved, but always maintained the necessary sense of propriety.
It is easy to tell who is right and who is wrong.
Pei Jin was trampled into the dust by Qin Lingzheng in an instant. The outcome was set and Bai Yuan's attitude had already been formed. No matter how he struggled and explained, he could not turn things around.
As expected, after Bai Yuan heard Qin Lingzheng's hypocritical crying last words, he suddenly looked up at him.
When Bai Yuan's gaze fell on him, Pei Jin subconsciously stiffened his back.
"Pei Jin."
When his name was called, it was as if a gun was pressed against his head. Pei Jin just wanted to shrink his neck like a dog being scolded by his owner, but his strong self-esteem forced him to stay where he was, and his back straightened even more.
It seemed that no matter what Bai Yuan said next, he would not bend down to it, nor would he give in at all.
Bai Yuan looked at Pei Jin's clenched fists that were shaking constantly, and saw his attitude that seemed to indicate that he was determined to fight to the end, and pronounced:
"go back."
She asked me to go back?
Pei Jin looked at Bai Yuan in disbelief and understood her choice.
"You want to send him home, but you want me to go back alone?!"
"Between him and me, you still decisively chose your white moonlight, right?!"
"But I am obviously your fiancé, the one you chose and the one you favor!!!"
"Okay, okay, okay..." Pei Jin laughed in anger, saying "Okay" three times in a row, glared at Qin Lingzheng, the instigator of all this, and faced Bai Yuan's gaze, "You really think I care? Go back if you want!!!"
"Bai Yuan, don't regret sending me away tonight!"
After saying that, he walked straight over, bumped Qin Lingzheng hard with his shoulder, passed by him, and walked in the opposite direction without looking back, leaving only a resolute back.
After fighting with Pei Jin for such a long time, Qin Lingzheng was already mostly sober and his consciousness was much clearer.
The secret joy he felt when Bai Yuan chose him almost ruined his plan.
Even though his heart was consumed by joy, Qin Lingzheng did not let it get to his head.
He looked at Pei Jin's departing back with concern, half lowered his head, and began to advise:
"He just left like that? It's all my fault. I don't know what I did to make him unhappy."
"He must have misunderstood our relationship."
"Bai Yuan, don't worry about me, go back and comfort him..."
