Chapter 602: Chapter 604: Visiting the Set (4)

Qin Zhigu, consumed with fury, clutching at Cai Yiren’s shoulders, shook her violently, “Since when! When did they start! Tell me!”

Cai Yiren was frightened, she had never seen Qin Zhigu like this before, like an infuriated lion, a wild beast!

She murmured in a tremor, “It…It was from the end of last semester…”

Last semester, which would mean after the Qixi Festival. However, from their interactions during the Qixi Festival, contact must have been initiated before.

Just how long had he been out of the loop, when did they start, and why had it spread all around school?

Recalling the roommate who had passed on the news today, the way he looked at Qin Zhigu, fury intertwined with a tinge of sympathy. Sympathy? Of course, sympathy! His girlfriend had been snatched away, and the whole school knew about it! How could you not sympathize?

And at this time, Cai Yiren managed to add fuel to the flame, “No matter what the rumors are, I don’t believe them. Wei Hui once told me she despises mistresses, and hates those colluding with them. She’s a person with a strong sense of justice. Now she’s your girlfriend, how could she have any relationship with Qin Zhiyou? Maybe the rumors are wrong?”

“Wrong? This is genetic!” Qin Zhigu raged to himself, letting loose his tongue, “She took after her father, straddling two boats! You Bai family, are all full of corruption, taking after each other, all nothing more than refuse!”

“I didn’t!” Cai Yiren’s face paled in an instant, “”I…I do like you, but I never entertained thoughts of being a mistress. You and Wei Hui are my best friends. Even if Wei Hui and I have conflicts due to family matters, I still hope for you two to make peace. I…I never thought of replacing her…”

As she spoke, tears started to force their way out of her eyes.

Qin Zhigu had no tolerance left to listen to her, giving her a fierce shove, forcing her to the ground, not even bothering to cast a sidelong glance, walking out on her right there.

He stormed back all the way home, and in the living room, Bai Changyou and Madame Cai were also getting ready to leave. Seeing him return alone, they looked slightly perplexed, “Where’s Yiren?”

Without responding to them, Qin Zhigu had been about to step inside when he heard the sound of a car outside.

Qin Zhigu froze on the spot as if someone had hit a trigger point, motionless as he turned his head towards the door.

As predicted, it was Quin Zhiyou who arrived at the doorway, parking his car in the garage, hands in pocket, with his shirt buttoned haphazardly. If not for the fancy suit, he would have been the perfect replica of a common hooligan.

Nevertheless, there’s an old saying, bad boys are the ones women fall for.

When Qin Zhiyou popped out of his car, he was even whistling offbeat, barely managing to stand upright, “Yo, everyone’s here, welcoming me, aren’t you?”

Qin Weijian had never approved of his nephew, who was lax and careless. Back in the day, he could still command some form of authority over Qin Zhiyou, lowering his face in fury, “What kind of attire is that? Can’t even stand up right, going out bringing shame upon the Qin family! On top of that, what’s the story behind your slapped cheek?”

“Oh, this?” Quin Zhiyou unapologetically rubbed his wound, grinning, “Naturally, a woman slapped it. A wild, feisty woman.”

As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on Qin Zhigu. The look he never understood in the past, he now comprehended completely: That was mockery!
