Married to the Protagonist - Chapter 143

“She said she felt sorry for Guo Min and gave her this advice, but in reality, she’s just an idiot at law. I think she probably pins the reason for the miserable state of her marriage on Yan Cheng, that’s why she wanted revenge. It’s killing two birds with one stone, then he won’t come looking for trouble anymore. Just look, has her relationship with Huo Qidong improved after Zhou Chao’s death? It’s all her own fault to begin with.”

“But Yan Cheng did fool around a bit back then.” Qiao Fei mumbled the rest of these words to herself.

…

As the matter finally came to an end, everyone breathed sighs of relief.

After so many days of working overtime, it was rare they could finally get the day off on time. Everyone was happy and were in the mood for a dinner party.

“I’m not going.” Qiao Fei grabbed her bag and waved everyone goodbye.

The entire process had been so blunt and she didn’t even care about the ambiguous gazes of the crowd.

The trees and buildings outside the window were constantly brushing past.

Inch by inch the curtains of the night were pulled down and the evening breeze came blowing over, blowing away all of the gloom. Qiao Fei suddenly talked to Yan Cheng about Zhou Xue, and after that ended, she continued looking out the window, speaking out her views without any biases.

Since this has all happened she won’t say too much on the matter, but understanding the past was enough for her to have criticisms about Yan Cheng.

“Of course, it was all Zhou Xue’s own doing.”

Yan Chen laughed as he skillfully turned the steering wheel. “I admit that Sixth Brother could see through her intentions and also played along, but let’s not mention it anymore, This is all just black history in his eyes.”

After a pause, he continued a little dully, “What’s more, the one Zhou Xue likes is Huo Qidong. In a sense, she was just using Sixth Brother. If we really had to say who was right and who was wrong, I think it’s indistinguishable.”

Many things were indefinable in this world as the world was not fully black or white. Many parts fell into the grey region.

“Everyone has their problems, it’s just a question of whether it’s a big one or a small one.”

“And now, the one with the biggest problem is Zhou Xue. And, she doesn’t know how to watch herself either, so things will only grow worse and worse. In the end, she’ll even blame it on others.”

Men have never been too great about gossiping about the past.

But the matter was relating to his little brother so he would inevitably discuss it. After all, what must be said still had to be said.

“Let’s put this another way. Without Sixth Brother, then Zhou Xue would still rack her brains on how she was going to marry into the Huo family. In the end, the ending will not change.”

“Tsk, I just really didn’t expect her the one to be behind Zhou Chao’s murder.”

The circle in Beijing couldn’t be called small, but it wasn’t big either. Yan Chen and Huo Qidong were still people who will inevitably bump shoulders in the business world. There are some things he would see or hear, so he was naturally clear about some matters.

Qiao Fei twisted her head over and stared at the man’s profile. “Why?”

“Well, there’s no whys about it. As far as I know, Zhou Chao doesn’t treat Zhou Xue badly.”

“?????” Qiao Fei was even more confused now.

Yan Chen narrowed his eyes. He didn’t explain too much anymore and instead changed the topic. “By the way, why don’t I ask Sixth Brother to invite you out for a meal?”

Qiao Fei was stunned for a moment, but she understood what he meant. So, she didn’t really do anything. After a short pause, she shook her head. “No need.”

“Why not? He should meet his sister-in-law.”

“…”

So, the next day at six in the afternoon.

Yan Cheng really did invite his brother and future sister-in-law to dinner.

It was mainly Yan Chen who casually mentioned and outlined the causes and consequences of the case, and he immediately understood.

Inside the restaurant, there was a pretty girl playing a beautiful tune on her violin at the side, an easy piece to soothe the restless heart.

As Yan Cheng was involved for no reason, Qiao Fei thought it was necessary to clear up the matter to him. But of course, she couldn’t explain the case to him in too much detail.

Yan Chen thought that his Sixth Brother would be jumping onto the table in an outburst of anger.

Only, he didn’t expect Yan Cheng to not react strongly at all after finding out about the start and end of the case, including finding out about the culprit accusing him behind his back. He leisurely grabbed a piece of fish and plucked out the bones seriously, saying in a light voice, “Oh, well as long as things are fine now I guess.”
