Chapter 26: Rob My Woman While I Was Absent?Translator: Wu YufanProofread by Liang Yaping

It was already about ten o’clock when Ji Xiaoli arrived at the bar by taxi. There were not many people on the road, but the nightclub must be very busy and noisy. On entering the bar, she felt immediately the smell of liquor and perfume from women’s body. She frowned slightly and went in. Qi Xiaoguang was really drunken today. When she arrived, Xiaoguang had lost consciousness and sat in her seat, crying heavily. She looked terribly embarrassed, crying and drinking with a bottle.

Ji Xiaoli couldn’t help shaking her head. What really happened? That made Xiaoguang out of control. She went to take away her wine bottle and pushed her hard with her elbow, “Xiaoguang, let’s stop drinking today and go home…” How stupid Zhao Weixing was to let her alone here at night! Although she was very angry, she must take Xiaoguang away. On seeing her, Qi Xiaoguang suddenly lost her control. Her hands got rid of her wrists, crying and shouting: “Xiaoli, I’m so sad, so sad! Would you like to have a drink with me? I’m so sad in my heart…”

They had been friends for so many years. Although Qi Xiaoguang’s personality was not perfect,and even a little grumpy, she always knew how to bear. Especially after marrying Zhao Weixing, in order to gain the favor of Zhao’s mother, she was more a daughter-in-law of Zhao’s family than a real Qi Xiaoguang herself. Looking at her good friend, Ji Xiaoli felt a heart-breaking pain. She dragged and shook her severely, “Stop! How many bottles have you drunk? Have a look! Red wine and white spirits mixed. No matter how sad you are, stop tossing yourself like this! Do you know that it will only be favorable for others and only torture yourself?”

It seemed that Qi Xiaoguang was a little awakened by her shake, but her stomach was becoming more and more uncomfortable. She covered her mouth, beginning to retch. Her eyes were empty, her hands grabbed Ji Xiaoli’s wrist and she cried, “Xiaoli, I really regret. If I didn’t insist on marrying Zhao Weixing at the beginning, maybe there would not be so many bad things at all. I feel that I’m so useless. I even dare not to scold back while being scolded by someone with her finger pointing at my nose. So cowardly!” She had endured two years since married Zhao Weixing. She was ridiculed all the time by Zhao’s mother, especially today she made her embarrassed in public. At that moment, Xiaoguang even wished that she could disappear from the world. She had never thought about suicide, but when she was pushed to the extremity, she would do anything possible, including committing suicide.

Ji Xiaoli sighed and patted her on the back: “Stop thinking about it. You can drink a little, but it’s harmful for your body to drink so much. What’s the matter between you and Zhao Weixing? I didn’t know anything between you. What happened this time?” Of course, Qi Xiaoguang avoided saying that there were always contradictions between them, but until today did they fall out completely.

Her mother-in-law disliked her all the time because Xiaoguang was from poor family without any background and temperament. Anyway, she thought that Qi Xiaoguang didn’t match her beloved son. So she often spoke ill of her with her sisters-in-law. Qi Xiaoguang had endured all of these, as long as these were not in public. She ignored her words deliberately. However, because of this, her mother-in-law teased her completely as a soft persimmon and often ordered her to do housework. At first, she did it in the absence of Zhao Weixing. Later, she would do these even in front of Zhao Weixing.

Today, her ‘kind’ mother-in-law even wanted to drive her away because she had not been pregnant for two years, and hoped that Zhao Weixing could marry a young lady from a rich family. However, Zhao Weixing was always a dutiful son. He seldom contradicted his mother face to face. Even if she was also there, he even didn’t say a word or give an explanation! Before marriage, he had promised to her that he would support and protect her, but after marriage, he did like this. It was very possible for Qi Xiaoguang to get disappointed, and now there was more than disappointment. She didn’t know if she could go on with such a life.

Hearing her words, Ji Xiaoli understood. This was the so-called marriage into a wealthy family. She was the same, maybe she would fall into the same awkward situation as Xiaoguang, which was absolutely opposite to her will. “Do you think it’s necessary for me to return to Zhao family?” Qi Xiaoguang forced a smile. It was not wise for Ji Xiaoli to comment on this couple. She sighed, “whatever, he doesn’t change his love for you. Although a stupid man like him is so disgusting, you still need to ask him about his opinion…”

“His opinion? I’m afraid that’s not his will, but my mother-in-law’s. I understood everything clearly today, and decided to live in my mother’s house in these days. If we really reach that blind alley in the future, I have nothing to say!” Ji Xiaoli didn’t say anything. Although their temperaments were not the same, they were still similar to each other to a large extent. In this case, even Ji Xiaoli would do the same.

“Well, let’s figure out Weixing’s attitude first. Do not be so pessimistic! Think something good about it.” Qi Xiaoguang covered her eyes, looking pale: “I want to go out to find a job first in these days. If I still stay at Zhao’s home all the time, I’m afraid my hands and feet will be wasted. I don’t fit for the life of a rich lady, but still live like a rice bug. I’m afraid that one day I can not support myself, right?” Ji Xiaoli nodded but said nothing more.

Qi Xiaoguang inhaled and forced a smile, “Well, so uncommon for us to come to a bar. Have a drink with me! It’s really a good feeling to be drunk. At least you don’t have to think about anything.” Ji Xiaoli looked at her hands shaking and moved her mouth: “Drink again? If I didn’t receive the call just now, I think you will not be able to leave here. How many bottles you’ve drunk!”

“Xiaoli?”

“Yes”

“No matter how, I hope that you can be beatific. Do not follow my pace…. But to be honest, these rich and powerful ladies are really too difficult to serve. Although you do well, she will find ways to find your faults.” Ji Xiaoli nodded, “I know.” Although she hadn’t been in touch with the aunts of Qin family, from Zhao family’s attitude, she vaguely knew the fastidious eyes of these ladies. Originally, she was such a woman without any background, just an ordinary person. If she was really disliked by these ladies, she could not wrong herself.

Life was to live, and it was others’ business to make difficulties, but it didn’t mean that she had to bear them blindly. Qi Xiaoguang burped with wine. Her steps were not stable, leaned on the bar stool and looked as if the whole person would fall down at any time. At least Ji Xiaoli was frightened by this. “Let me take you back. I think that you can’t walk steadily after drinking so much. Aunt may have slept. So if you don’t mind tonight, can you sleep with me?” Qi Xiaoguang smiled: “I have no problems, but will your husband drive me away…” “You worry too much!” Qi Xiaoguang jumped down from the bar stool, her legs fluttering, and the whole person was out of state. Ji Xiaoli barely supported her, but it’s hard for her to support such a girl who had drunk too much, with all her weight on her only.

“Are you sure you have never thought about losing some weight?” “Why should I need to lose weight? I’ve been trying to gain more weight recently. Only with the strength, can I get rid of oppression and make the decision? If I hate to see Zhao Weixing, I can punch him two fists!” “…” So cool! But it was still very hot in August and September. The wind at night was warm. Ji Xiaoli’s skin was damp with perspiration. Especially when she was supporting Qi Xiaoguang, the sweat on her forehead had already oozed. At this time, a hand stretched out to hold her who nearly fell down from the steps.

Ji Xiaoli looked back with astonishment, and suddenly she was a little stunned. “Qin Zheng?” Qi Xiaoguang also turned back when she heard this name, but her eyes were not as indifferent as Ji Xiaoli’s. When Qin Zheng abandoned Xiaoli, she witnessed the whole course. So she looked at Qin Zheng at this time just like looked at a heartless man.

Qin Zheng was embarrassed by Qi Xiaoguang’s sight. He nodded lightly when he heard her call, “Why are you still here until so late?” Ji Xiaoli hadn’t spoken yet, Qi Xiaoguang has said before her: “Why you are still here is the reason why we are here! Is there anything wrong?” Qin Zheng’s eyes were all focusing on Ji Xiaoli at this moment, as closely as the 502 glue…who knew that when he saw her again, his heart was still yearning.

When they separated, it was because he was drunken and slept with Ji Xuewei, which was seen by Ji Xiaoli. Then they had to break up. Until now, he found that he did not forget her at all, but she was married, how unfortunately! It was a bomb for him. She used to be his woman, but now, why? “Xiaoli, is it convenient for you to have a talk with me?” Qin Zheng’s eyes were struggling, painful and nostalgic.

Qi Xiaoguang glared at him with her drunken eyes. “What to talk about? Why do you not talk about it when you abandoned Xiaoli? Your hypocrisy now is so meaningless!” But it at least was something between themselves. Ji Xiaoli looked up at him and said, “we’ve finished saying what we should say half a year ago. What else do you want to tell me? And I just don’t want to hear some words. If you want to say those, you can tell that to Ji Xuewei. She is more willing to hear those than I am!”

“Xiaoli, I don’t say anything high-sounding. I just want to tell you that my heart has never changed in these years. I hope that you can give me a chance to make up for you. Xiaoli, it was really my fault in those days, but now I have awakened!” Awakened? How ludicrous this joke was, and it did happen at this moment.

“Too Late.” Now she was the wife of Qin Zhenyang, let alone his betrayal. It was impossible for her to forgive this man after such a betrayal. Women had obsession with cleaning, which she could affirm, and no one wanted to share a man with other women, at least she didn’t want! Ji Xiaoli looked into his eyes and queried coldly, “if you choose me now, what about Ji Xuewei? What’s about me if you abandon her? What will others think about me? Qin Zheng, there is only one chance. You’ve missed it, forever. Besides, I am married. Don’t say these words in front of me in the future.”

“Do you love him?” Ji Xiaoli was in a trance, then realized what he asked was Qin Zhenyang. “Is this important?”

“If you don’t love him, you can completely choose me again! I can give you whatever he can, everything the best. I will inherit Qin consortium in the future!”

Before finishing his words, Qin Zheng was thumped heavily on his left face, and his whole body stumbled to the ground. He covered his eyes angrily and looked up at the person. “Uncle?” Qin Zhenyang was wrathful, looking sullen. “Bastard! Do you still treat me as your uncle? I’ve told you that she was my woman, your aunt! Do you still want to take her away from me?”
