Marriage first and love later: Wife is hard to chase

Chapter 166
"That's right." The old housekeeper smiled wryly, as if he wasn't surprised by Duan Shuqi's question at all. That's true. The relationship between Bai Zhen and Gao Qinchuan, the master of the Gao family, was always pointed out by outsiders, and Duan Shuqi was even suspected Shu Qi is the illegitimate daughter of Bai Zhen and some messed up person, and these things are the talk of ladies after dinner.

But as one of the few people who knew the truth, the old butler was very clear about the incident at the beginning, but he never stood up to argue with others. After all, the people involved in this incident are too complicated, and the ups and downs are not what they are now. People speak clearly.

As a child, there was nothing wrong with what Duan Shuqi did. After all, the injustice and humiliation Bai Zhen suffered back then cannot be summed up in a few sentences.

"In that case, I'll tell you what happened back then, and it's just a wish." The old housekeeper pondered for a moment, and began to tell.

When Bai Zhen was only in her 20s, her appearance was very eye-catching, a bit more beautiful than Duan Shuqi and Duan Shunian today, but her temperament was somewhat similar, gentle and not fond of disputes.

At that time, Bai Zhen and Duan Mingyang, the fathers of the sisters of the Duan family, were in love with each other. They got married not long after they fell in love, and their married life was quite harmonious and happy.

Not long after, due to business contacts, Duan Mingyang and Bai Zhen met Gao Qinchuan. The master of the Gao family fell in love with Bai Zhen at first sight, but he didn't show it. After all, no matter how beautiful she is, she is someone else's wife.

Not only is Bai Zhen outstanding in appearance, but her talents and abilities are also very different from ordinary women. In terms of business, Bai Zhen will often make decisions on Duan Mingyang's behalf, meeting clients and negotiating business on his behalf.

Gao Qinchuan was also fortunate enough to have a few lunches or drink a few cups of coffee alone with Bai Zhen, but this is not enough to be a reason for those people to catch rumors, so how did the initial rumors spread?
"This is also what confuses me." Duan Shuqi frowned, "If I didn't believe in my mother, maybe I would really believe the rumors with various evidences. If it was just because of meeting the client alone, Gao Qinchuan is not the only one who admires my mother and meets her alone? Why is it him..."

"Where did this rumor come from, or was it deliberately fabricated by someone with a heart?" Duan Shuqi looked at the old housekeeper's half-smile expression, seemed to understand something suddenly, and couldn't help blurting out.

"This starts with another incident more than 20 years ago..."

More than 20 years ago, Bai Zhen and Zhong Yuhua met on the university campus, and later became good friends. Bai Zhen also met Duan Mingyang at that time. The two of them often invite Zhong Yuhua to dinner together. They come and go, and the three of them are familiar with each other.

However, the kind and innocent Bai Zhen didn't know at the time that there was a wild wolf lurking beside her that was trying to take away her food.

"Zhong Yuhua! Didn't she marry Uncle Duan Qi!" Duan Shuqi exclaimed, "How could it be Zhong Yuhua? Mother treated her so well."

That's right, Zhong Yuhua has secretly fallen in love with Duan Mingyang's boyfriend since she first met Duan Mingyang. She has high confidence in her figure and appearance, so every time she is asked out by Bai Zhen to eat together, She will deliberately dress herself up before going out.

However, despite this, Duan Mingyang's gaze never fell on Zhong Yuhua. For Zhong Yuhua, Duan Mingyang almost labeled her as "a friend of his lover". Zhong Yuhua and Bai Zhen seemed to have a very deep friendship. I have that kind of thought about myself.

After a while, Zhong Yuhua finally couldn't bear her temper anymore, she was ready to take the initiative, so there was another party of three, Bai Zhen was tricked by Zhong Yuhua to go out to buy water, leaving only Zhong Yuhua and Duan Mingyang, Zhong Yuhua decided to ask Duan Mingyang Confession.

Before confessing, Zhong Yuhua originally wanted to use some inadvertent hints as an introduction, so she took a chopstick and put it into Duan Mingyang's bowl, but Duan Mingyang thanked her very solemnly, and then took a chopstick in return The dishes were put into Zhong Yuhua's bowl.

It's just that I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the dish that Duan Mingyang picked up happens to be a dish that Bai Zhen likes but Zhong Yuhua hates.

Zhong Yuhua bit the bullet and swallowed the food, and then prepared to show his love directly without making any foreshadowing.So she said to Duan Mingyang: "Mingyang, I like you, can you stay with me?"

However, this sentence scared Duan Mingyang into a panic, and he quickly said: "No, no, the person I like is Zhenzhen, and the one who wants to marry and be together for a lifetime is also Zhenzhen. You are still young, Yuhua, so you don't understand."

However, this sentence happened to be heard by Bai Zhen who was walking over, and her brain exploded. With her intelligence, she could easily understand what happened. She looked at Zhong Yuhua with puzzled and confused eyes. angry, sad...

Fortunately, Duan Mingyang's words reassured Bai Zhen, and the relationship between the two of them was not so easy to break up.

And what about Zhong Yuhua?I confessed to a man who has a girlfriend, but his real girlfriend witnessed the whole process of being rejected. How can such a situation make her not embarrassed or resentful?

Since then, Zhong Yuhua has held a lot of hostility towards Bai Zhen in every aspect of her life. Bai Zhen felt that this hostility came from inexplicable, but thinking of the former friendship, she turned a blind eye to it. Until she graduated from university, she and Duan Mingyang We got married smoothly.

Not long after the marriage, the news about Bai Zhen and Gao Qinchuan was widely circulated. From the very beginning, "Bai Zhen and Gao Qinchuan had an affair in private" intensified, and finally it became "Bai Zhen was once in love with Gao Qinchuan, several abortions".

Undoubtedly, whether it was word of mouth at the beginning, or everyone talking about it in the end, Zhong Yuhua contributed to it.

"Zhong Yuhua is so shameless!" Duan Shuqi could hardly contain the anger in her heart, her eyes were staring, her eyes were red, "I won't give up if I can't snatch other men's men, but I want to ruin my mother's life!"

"Miss Duan, please calm down your emotions. After all, there are still some things that have not been finished. You might as well wait until the story is over before letting you vent, okay?" the old butler said in a gentle voice.

As one of the few people who have seen Gao Qinchuan's feelings for Bai Zhen with his own eyes, the old housekeeper also felt aggrieved by Bai Zhen's grievances, but he was powerless to prevent the tragedy from happening many years ago. Miss Nian is happy together.
