Chapter 322 I'll Take Your Dog's Life
She lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, it's all my fault. I've dragged everyone into this. I'm so sorry, I'll take responsibility."
"Take responsibility? What responsibility are you going to take? Aren't you surrounded by enough men already? You still want to seduce Fisher? Yan Zuozuo, you shameless woman!" Qin Yun raised her voice.
Yan Zuozuo frowned: "Miss Qin, I will take responsibility for my mistake, but please watch your words."
"Did I say something wrong? You know perfectly well how much these men like you, yet you still put on that pitiful, disgusting act. Yan Zuozuo, you really know how to seduce men! I may not be as good as you, but I'm warning you, if you dare to have any more designs on Fisher, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Ms. Qin, I've tolerated your tantrum here because I know you're in a bad mood. But please stop now. My relationship with the director is purely professional; we're friends, nothing as sordid as you make it out to be!"
"Stop pretending in front of me. I'm not one of those men. Stop with your tricks! If you really don't want to seduce Fisher, and you know he's interested in you, why don't you leave? Don't you love your husband? Are you willing to let him get angry because of you? I think you're just a slut, wishing you could cuckold your man a few more times!"
Snapped!
Without even thinking, Yan Zuozuo slapped Qin Yun across the face, "Watch your mouth!"
Qin Yun covered her face, looking at Yan Zuozuo in disbelief. How dare this bitch hit her? She gritted her teeth in hatred and was about to fight back when she suddenly saw a figure at the door of the ward. A cunning smile appeared on her lips.
Chi Moqing's mother is outside. Perfect, let her know just how shameless Yan Zuozuo really is!
Qin Yun stared intently at Yan Zuozuo: "Are you just getting angry out of embarrassment? You dare to do it but not admit it? Fisher, Stephen, Yi Fanxi, Ou Luhan, your men really keep coming one after another, Yan Zuozuo. When are you finally going to stop cheating on President Chi? Is it because you're insatiable and President Chi can't satisfy you, so you..."
Snapped!
Another slap landed on Qin Yun's face, stinging with pain. Qin Yun never expected that Yan Zuozuo would dare to slap her a second time. She glared at her angrily, "Yan Zuozuo, I'll fight you to the death!" With that, she pounced on Yan Zuozuo.
With a cracking sound, like bones breaking, followed by a gasp, Qin Yun's face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead. Sometime during the night, Ou Luhan had grabbed Qin Yun's arm with such force that she couldn't break free.
"You! What are you doing... Let me go!" Qin Yun cried out in pain.
Ou Luhan sneered: "I, the Third Young Master Ou, have always liked and cherished women, but some women are just disgusting. Qin Yun, out of consideration for our past acquaintance, I'll spare your life today. If you dare to spout nonsense again and cause trouble here, I'll take your dog's life!"
Ou Luhan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a powerful and intimidating quality!
Qin Yun looked at him and couldn't help but shiver. No wonder he was the infamous Third Young Master Ou; his temper was truly terrifying. She knew very well that Ou Luhan wasn't just talking casually, but was serious.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her voice trembled, "You...you can't touch me...I'm Fisher's girlfriend, show...show some respect..."
Ou Luhan sneered, "You really know how to flatter yourself. If you want to be Fisher's girlfriend, you'll have to ask him if he wants you!" After saying that, he let go and shoved Qin Yun hard.
Qin Yun staggered back a few steps, clutching her hand that had been gripped so hard, and glared fiercely at Yan Zuozuo. "Don't be so smug, just you wait! You know what you've done, and President Chi will find out about your dirty deeds sooner or later!" With that, she pushed open the door and left.
However, the moment the ward door opened, she saw Chi's mother standing there, her face ashen. Yan Zuozuo gasped sharply. Could her mother-in-law have actually believed Qin Yun's words?
"mom……"
Chi's mother glanced at Ou Luhan and said, "Young Master Ou, please leave for a moment. I have something to say to Zuo Zuo."
Ou Luhan was taken aback: "Auntie, don't listen to that woman's nonsense, Zuo Zuo and I..."
"Don't say anything, just get out!" Chi's mother interrupted Ou Luhan.
Ou Luhan glanced at Yan Zuozuo with concern before leaving.
In the ward, only Yan Zuozuo and Chi's mother remained. Yan Zuozuo licked her lips, feeling a little nervous. "Mom, we're all friends. It's not like what Qin Yun said. Mo Qing knows all about these things. I swear..."
"Then why did she single you out to slander?" Mother Chi interrupted her sharply, staring at her with cold eyes.
Yan Zuozuo felt a chill run through her: "I can't explain it clearly, but I really don't have any messy relationships with anyone, really, Mom, you have to believe me."
As Yan Zuozuo spoke, she reached out to grasp Chi's mother's arm, but she shook her off, looking disappointed. "Zuozuo, do you remember when your ex-boyfriend came to see you? It was also at the hospital. At that time, I, as your mother, stood firmly on your side. But now, I can't believe your words. Can you tell me why?"
Yan Zuozuo was taken aback; her mother-in-law didn't believe her!
"Mom, I know that my marriage to Mo Qing has caused you a lot of trouble. But I really love him, and I have no relationship with anyone else besides him. I know that I did some things wrong, and I apologize."
Chi's mother waved her hand: "You should reflect on your actions. If only one or two people say that you are entangled with other men, that's one thing, but if many people say so, whose fault do you think it is?"
Yan Zuozuo paused, her eyes lowered, unsure of what to say. For a moment, the room fell silent. Yan Zuozuo felt breathless, as if someone were choking her, making it hard to breathe.
“Since Mo Qing isn’t here, I, as your mother, won’t make things difficult for you. Just focus on recovering. Mo Qing’s father is still at home, and I have to go back to take care of him.” After saying that, Chi’s mother walked out. As she was leaving, she sighed and said, “No matter how capable a woman is outside, she still has to return to her family in the end. Think about it carefully.”
Yan Zuozuo stiffened and stood there, feeling a tightness in her chest.
Fisher woke up the next day, but because the incident had alarmed the entire Bourbon family, he remained in France. Ivanci, who had broken a rib, was also kept behind by Adrian, who insisted that he recuperate in France.
They all urged Yan Zuozuo to stay, but she refused. After the doctor confirmed that she was fine and could be discharged, she went straight back to China. Because Fisher was temporarily unable to work, she and Song Yutong were in charge of the entire women's clothing department.
Qin Yun originally wanted to stay in France to take care of Fischer, but he refused. Furthermore, the entire Bourbon family didn't like her much, so she ultimately had no choice but to return to China.
Compared to Yan Zuozuo's insistence on leaving, Qin Yun's return to China felt like a complete loss of face, and she hated Yan Zuozuo even more. She called Fisher, requesting to rejoin Fan Hua Design, but Fisher refused again. Qin Yun was seething with anger, but had nowhere to vent her frustration.
She truly couldn't understand what was so special about Yan Zuozuo that made all the men fawn over her. She already enjoyed the utmost favor, so why was she still clinging to Fisher?
She hated her to death, wishing she could tear her to pieces!
Yan Zuozuo had only been working for a few days when the company received a major case and assigned it to her. However, the other party did not reveal their identity and, in order to gain Yan Zuozuo's trust, even sent out a high-ranking female leader who frequently appeared on television.
Yan Zuozuo wondered to herself who was so arrogant that even a city leader had personally come forward.
“Zuo Zuo, if you’re worried, I think you shouldn’t go. I’ll call the director, he’ll have a solution,” Song Yutong said.
Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "No, this is official business. Since it's a city leader involved, I'm sure they won't do anything to me. Don't worry."
Song Yutong frowned: "The other party must have a very powerful background. You can go, but I'll inform the director first, just in case anything unexpected happens."
Yan Zuozuo nodded: "Anyway, there are still a few days to prepare, so there's no rush." The main reason she accepted the case was that the person she was supposed to meet was in Germany, and she wanted to take the opportunity to go and see Chi Moqing.
Since a city leader was acting as the intermediary, she figured no one would harm her. Therefore, she agreed without hesitation. If everything went smoothly in Germany, she might actually be able to meet Chi Moqing.
The thought of meeting Chi Moqing filled Yan Zuozuo with excitement. However, the excitement was only temporary. After get off work, she returned alone to her cold and quiet home. Even when Chi Moqing wasn't home, the house would always be clean and cozy. If he got home early, he would even cook for her. But now, without him, everything felt empty, even the air seemed thin.
She curled up on the sofa. When did she become so used to having him in her life that she could no longer live without him?
Remembering what Chi's mother had told her, she suddenly realized that she had never been a good wife. In all the years of marriage, she had enjoyed and taken from him, but had never done anything for him.
He gave her everything every woman desires: warmth, security, and love. She believed that even if their roles were reversed, she couldn't match Chi Moqing's attentiveness and care. Heaven gave her a good husband, but she didn't cherish him.
Her eyes immediately welled up with tears. She made herself some instant noodles and sat on the sofa to watch TV. Although her eyes never left the television, her mind was elsewhere.
The room was filled with Chi Moqing's scent—fragrant and comforting, as if he were right beside her, gentle, doting, and protective…
She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, cold and wet. What had she done all these years of marriage? No wonder even her mother-in-law, who had always doted on her, no longer liked her, and now even she herself disliked herself.
The phone rang suddenly; it was Ou Luhan calling.
"Zuo Zuo, I heard you're going to Germany?" Ou Luhan asked as soon as she opened her mouth.
Yan Zuozuo nodded: "It's official business." Suddenly, she remembered the warning Ou Luhan had given her. Could it be that he was trying to stop her from going?
She pursed her lips and tentatively asked, "Am I not suitable to go there?"
She clenched her fists immediately. If she had really treated Chi Moqing badly in the past, she would rather not go!
"No, you can go if you want. But Zuo Zuo, promise me, without my arrangement, you absolutely must not meet with President Chi on your own. Remember that!"
Yan Zuozuo's heart skipped a beat: "Has something happened to Mo Qing?"
