Gossip and Intercession (2)
The few of them got into the car and prepared to go back to the office first. Shan Yatong didn’t talk about the scandal in the car. Instead, he played the game on his cell phone and prepared to play the block stack game to the end. As for other things, apologies, he couldn’t remember.
Xiao Qishen looked warmly at Shan Yatong’s profile. He thought that he was really crazy that when he heard about the scandal between him and Shan Yatong, the first thing he thought of was not trouble but happiness. He was glad that it was only him that found out that Shan Yatong was the former Jing Anjue. This feeling was like a secret that only belonged to the two of them. No one else found it, and the sour sweetness made him feel satisfied. He thought that he had really fallen into it.
The car drove into the underground parking lot of Sky Crown. As soon as Shan Yatong got out of the car, he was stopped by someone. He squinted at the woman in front of him and threw his phone to Xiao Qishen who was standing next to him. He frowned slightly. “What do you want to do?”
Wei Xiaoyi looked at him with a pale face. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Shan Yatong’s wrist. “Yatong, help me. I really can’t do anything about it. I can only look for you. I know that I’ve let you down in the past, but on account of our many years of friendship, just help me this time, okay?”
“Many years of friendship?” Shan Yatong raised an eyebrow. “What relationship do we have?” If there was really a relationship, how could the original owner of this body resort to suicide? It was fine if they didn’t have such a relationship, but he wasn’t kind enough to help unrelated people.
“Just treat it as if I’m begging you. I really don’t want to live like before. I’m already afraid of living without anything. I can’t lose everything I have now. I can’t,” Wei Xiaoyi exclaimed incoherently. Her sharp nails have already left a bloody mark on the back of Shan Yatong’s hand.
When Xiao Qishen saw the bloodstains on the back of Shan Yatong’s hands, his gentlemanly demeanor flew into outer space. He pushed Wei Xiaoyi away with one hand and stood between the two. “Madam Ma, please pay attention to your manners.”
“Manners?!” Wei Xiaoyi looked at Xiao Qishen and laughed sarcastically, “So it’s you, so it’s you…” She looked at Shan Yatong with mockery and contempt in her eyes. “I thought those rumors were fake. I didn’t expect that… It’s really disgusting. No wonder you can treat me so coldly now. So you’re with a man. A man and a man, really disgusting.”
Xiao Qishen frowned. If she wasn’t a woman, he would have punched her long ago. “Pa!” The ear-piercing slapping sound was especially clear in the parking lot. Wei Xiaoyi looked at Shan Yatong in disbelief as if she didn’t know the person in front of her.
“Woman, I’m not a gentleman. Your words make me very unhappy, so I’ll make you feel even more disgusted.” Shan Yatong looked at the woman in front of him expressionlessly. “Before you say these words, you should think about whether Shan Yatong has done anything wrong to you and whether you still have the face to ask me for help. Back then, it was you who abandoned everything to marry an old man. Now that he’s bankrupt, you’re asking me to help you. In your eyes, what kind of existence is Shan Yatong? Is it not you that’s disgusting?”
Wei Xiaoyi stared blankly at Shan Yatong, unable to say a word.
Shan Yatong glanced at Xiao Qishen. “What’s going on between Xiao Qishen and I has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with whether or not we help you. As for homosexuality…” He paused. “Although I don’t think love is something that can be trusted, it doesn’t have to be gender-specific. Your words don’t insult me, but those who are in love with someone of the same sex. I can’t tell you much about it. I don’t like women like you either, but your words and actions today have made people unhappy. I don’t want to see you again. Of course, if you want to do anything, I welcome you. But it’s best if you don’t get involved with him.” Shan Yatong pointed at Xiao Qishen. “You can’t afford to offend him. He’s the Second Young Master of the Xiao family. You’ll end up worse off if you offend him.”
It was rare to say so much. Shan Yatong no longer looked at Wei Xiaoyi and said to the three behind him, “Let’s go.”
The three of them walked more than 10 meters away when they suddenly heard Wei Xiaoyi’s voice behind them.
“Shan Yatong, I’m sorry.”
Shan Yatong stopped and turned to look at the woman standing under the light. Her expression was apologetic, she didn’t look as ferocious as before. She also looked a bit beautiful in such a calm manner when she tilted her head.
“I’ll tell Chairman Tang about this.”
Wei Xiaoyi was stunned and choked. “Thank you?” The two words sounded extremely broken.
Shan Yatong didn’t turn around this time. He just waved his hand, indicating that she didn’t need to.
Wei Xiaoyi’s eyes reddened. She raised her head to prevent tears from flowing down. Suddenly, she broke into tears and smiled. “He’s clearly a soft-hearted guy…”
In the elevator, Xiao Qishen glanced at Shan Yatong from the corner of his eye. Didn’t he hate that woman just now, so why was he planning to help her again?
“The people from the orphanage are all afraid of poverty. She just wants to live a better life.” Yatong looked at the number on the screen, suddenly opening his mouth.
The three people behind him were silent. They all remembered that Shan Yatong had also come from that place. Perhaps they wouldn’t be able to understand the pain.
When the elevator door opened, Xiao Qishen walked to Shan Yatong’s side with a smile on his face. All he had to do was stand by his side. Everything else had nothing to do with him.
