Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency!

After closing the door, she said while putting on her seatbelt, ”Thank you. Oh yes, I don’t know your…”

”My name is Chang Jingqiu. Just call me Xiao Chang or Jingqiu, whatever you like,” Chang Jingqiu said with a smile before driving off.

”Hehe, Jingqiu, thank you for today,” Liu Ronghua smiled and thanked.

”It’s not that big a deal. If I bump into someone I know, I won’t just let her stay out in the cold,” Chang Jingqiu remarked.

”Sigh, I’m so lucky to meet you here tonight, if not…” Liu Ronghua shook her head and smiled bitterly. ”Oh right, are you friends with Zhijing?”

Knowing that Liu Ronghua had a bad relationship with Shen Zhijing, Chang Jingqiu said, ”We met for the first time tonight. An ex-classmate of mine from high school knew her. We agreed to come and have dinner together, and my friend asked Miss Shen out too.”

”I see.” Liu Ronghua remained silent after saying that, and she began silently cooking up a plot.

Silence filled the car for quite some time, before Liu Ronghua finally spoke up, albeit awkwardly, ”Would you feel weird about Zhijing’s attitude toward me?”

Chang Jingqiu paused and said, ”Not really. Although Miss Shen didn’t talk about your relationship, but her attitude, I think I can understand why. This is the first time I met her, but I can see that she’s a very proud person.”

Chang Jingiqu said nothing further after making those remarks.

”She…doesn’t like me, and doesn’t look kindly on me,” Liu Ronghua said softly. ”I was shocked that you’d send me so willingly. I thought you were her friend and that you’d stand on her side.”

Chang Jingqiu smiled. ”That’s a private matter between the both of you. It’s not right for a third party like me to side on anyone. I can understand her thoughts and yours as well, so I don’t think anyone’s at fault here. The interaction has to come from yourself. I have no right to judge on things that happen at your home.”

”Sigh, if only Zhijng thinks like you. Jingqiu, I never expected you to be so rational,” Liu Ronghua said gratefully.

Chang Jingqiu smiled. ”Auntie, don’t say that.”

As the car was getting closer to Shen Residence, Liu Ronghua told her to stop about a couple of hundred meters away.

Liu Ronghua explained, ”If you stop at the door and Zhijng sees you, I’m worried it might affect the relationship between both of you.”

Chang Jingqiu nodded and left it at that. She merely took out her name card and handed it over to Liu Ronghua, ”Auntie, this is my name card. You can see my contact information there. If there’s anything you need me to help, just call me. Don’t worry.”

”Thank you.” Liu Ronghua seemed to be very happy when she took the name card, but still, she sighed, ”Speaking of which, I’ve lived here with Zhijing for nearly eight years, and I’ve known her far earlier than that. Still, the way she treats me could never compare to you, a girl whom I’ve just met.”

”Auntie, don’t say that. I feel like Miss Shen will one day come around,” Chang Jingqiu consoled.

”Hehe,” Liu Ronghua chuckled. Eight years passed and Shen Zhijing still did not to come around. How much longer did she need? ”I’m not thinking of all that anymore. So sorry to have bothered you tonight. It’s late and I had you take a detour just to send me.”

”No worries. It’s dark, so be careful,” Chang Jingqiu advised.

Liu Ronghua smiled and said not another word, save for a couple more thanks. She then got off the car.

Utilizing what little illumination from the streetlights, she glanced at Chang Jingqiu’s name card while walking, and a cold little twitch appeared on the corner of her lip.

In recent days, Ruan Danchen had been living a rather peaceful life. She went to work and got off work with Qi Chenglin, as husband-and-wife, while an adorable little Qi Youxuan awaited her when she came home. Once a week, they would gather at the manor, and from time to time she would even have a girls’ day with Song Yu and Qi Chengyue.
