Wu Yilan could tolerate it, but Song Ge couldn't. She clenched her fists and stood up, shouting at Hou Chenyi, "Hou Chenyi, are you even human! She's still..."
Before Song Ge could finish her words, the door of the private room was kicked open. Song Ge saw a man who seemed like a god striding in. It was none other than Zhai Cheng.
At the sight of Zhai Cheng, all the grievances in Song Ge's heart welled up. She could no longer hold back her tears and cried out Zhai Cheng's name.
Zhai Cheng gave a soft grunt and scanned the room. The two bodyguards behind him drove the others out.
Only Song Ge and the others were left in the private room. Zhai Cheng stared at Hou Chenyi with red - rimmed eyes. "Making your pregnant wife accompany guests to drink. Are you even human!" Zhai Cheng gritted his teeth and said.
Zhai Cheng protected Song Ge behind him. His back was so broad that it blocked Song Ge's view. She shrank behind Zhai Cheng, not knowing what was happening.
All she could hear were the sounds of fighting and Wu Yilan's cries. The scene was out of control for a while.
When they got home, Song Ge learned that the bodyguards Zhai Cheng brought had beaten Hou Chenyi up.
Hou Chenyi had never had a good impression of Zhai Cheng. After being beaten up in public, he harbored even more hatred. He gritted his teeth, looked at the scabbed wound on his face, and spat.
Zhai Cheng, I will repay the humiliation I suffered today a hundredfold. Just you wait, Zhai Cheng. I will make you die a miserable death.
This injury was nothing.
Hou Chenyi laughed maniacally. His whole life had been filled with hatred. Because he was an illegitimate child, he was not valued. Because he was an illegitimate child, he couldn't take over the company. Because he was an illegitimate child, he was scolded...
He had already gotten used to all these!
He had never forgotten the pain these people had brought to him, his father, his mother, Zhai Cheng...
He remembered them all clearly.
"Mr. Hou, here are the phone numbers and information of Zhai's senior executives."
A subordinate brought in a list of information about Zhai's senior executives. Hou Chenyi touched the wound on his lips, winced, and then said, "Oh, just put it there."
The subordinate closed the door. Hou Chenyi opened the folder and looked through it carefully. The anger in his eyes only grew stronger. Zhai Cheng, I will start from those around you and destroy everything you have.
Soon, Hou Chenyi set his target - Chen Wei. Chen Wei was just one of the senior executives of Zhai's. Hou Chenyi chose her mainly because she had once betrayed Zhai's.
Once a betrayer, always a betrayer. All Chen Wei wanted was money and power. As long as he could fulfill her wishes, she would surely switch from working for Zhai Cheng to working for him.
Hou Chenyi stared at Chen Wei's phone number and rolled his eyes. "Hello, is this Manager Chen Wei?"
Hou Chenyi successfully contacted Chen Wei, and Chen Wei also agreed to work for him. Chen Wei stole Zhai's business partners for Hou Chenyi, and Hou Chenyi contacted some old acquaintances to poach Zhai Cheng's business partners.
Just when Hou Chenyi thought everything was going according to his plan, a subordinate sent a message saying that Chen Wei had been arrested, and the business partners who had promised to cooperate with him still chose Zhai Cheng.
"Why? Why?" Hou Chenyi roared.
The door of the office was opened, and Wu Yilan came in crying. "Chenyi, stop. You can't defeat Zhai Cheng."
Wu Yilan's makeup was all smeared from crying. After Hou Chenyi contacted Chen Wei, she had guessed his intention. She secretly told Song Ge, not for any other reason but just to prevent Hou Chenyi from going too crazy.
She just wanted to live a simple and peaceful life with Hou Chenyi!
"What should I stop? What are you doing here?" Hou Chenyi looked at her with disgust.
"I'm your wife!" Wu Yilan said sadly, holding her belly. "There's your child in my belly! Chenyi, have you forgotten how you promised me before?"
"So what if I've forgotten?" Hou Chenyi lowered his head and smiled. Suddenly, as if he had just remembered something, he stood up from his seat and walked quickly to Wu Yilan.
"Right, aren't you Song Ge's best friend? You have such a good relationship with Song Ge. You must be able to steal Zhai's company's information from Song Ge, right?" Hou Chenyi's features were distorted.
He no longer looked like the gentle and elegant gentleman. The man who was once as gentle as jade in her memory overlapped with the man with distorted features in front of her. It was clearly the same face, but he was a completely different person.
She loved Hou Chenyi, but not the one in front of her.
"Chenyi, calm down."
Wu Yilan cried and held Hou Chenyi's hand. She thought maybe it wasn't that Hou Chenyi had changed. Maybe she had never really known him from the start.
All the ugliness and shamelessness hidden beneath his skin, and she had only seen the good side. Song Ge was right. She really regretted it. The man in front of her was not a good match.
"Am I not calm?" Hou Chenyi sneered coldly and shook off Wu Yilan's hand. "That's enough. If you won't help me, just leave. Don't get in my way."
Hou Chenyi looked at her with disgust, touched his forehead, and scoffed.
"Chenyi, I'm doing this for your own good!"
Wu Yilan covered her chest with one hand and reached out for Hou Chenyi's shoulder with the other.
"That's enough." Hou Chenyi grabbed Wu Yilan's shoulders with both hands. "I've had enough. Get out of here right now."
"I won't, I won't..."
Wu Yilan was crying so hard that her vision was blurred. She waved her hands randomly in the air but couldn't catch Hou Chenyi's figure.
"Get out of here! You're so annoying!"
Hou Chenyi gave a hard push, and Wu Yilan fell to the ground.
He saw that blood was starting to pool under Wu Yilan. Before Hou Chenyi could react, Song Ge had rushed in.
"Yilan, Yilan, what's wrong with you?" Song Ge patted Wu Yilan's face and gently lifted her head. Wu Yilan groaned a couple of times and pointed at her lower body. "Song Ge, my child."
"The child..."
Song Ge followed the finger and looked at the floor. The large patches of red on the ground stabbed her eyes. "I'll call an ambulance for you." Song Ge sniffed, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at Hou Chenyi, who was standing there in a daze.
"Call an ambulance!"
Only then did Hou Chenyi react. He let out an "oh", took out his phone, and dialed the number.
It was too late. The child was still lost.
Wu Yilan was crying bitterly. Her face was pale, and there was no light in her eyes.
"Right, Song Ge, where's Hou Chenyi?"
"Yilan, wake up. Hou Chenyi doesn't love you at all! He hasn't come to see you even once since you were hospitalized!" Song Ge held her best friend's shoulders. It was better to suffer a long - term pain than a short - term one. It was a good thing for Wu Yilan to wake up earlier.
The Hou Chenyi that Wu Yilan loved didn't exist at all. It was just an illusion woven by Hou Chenyi's lies, like a bubble that couldn't be touched. Once touched, it would burst. It seemed real, but it was as illusory as a dream.
