Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency!

Chang Jingqiu was not looking down on the general public. On the matching of family status, since the Qi family did not mind, she had nothing to say about it. Considering the precedence of Song Yu’s example, the Qi family probably would not care.

However, Ruan Danchen’s identity, wasn’t that just disgusting?

Turning away someone from an honorable and reasonable background, just to get married to Ruan Danchen.

A wedding also involves the in-laws. Presented with a shameless woman the likes of Liu Ronghua, how would the Qi family be at peace?

“That’s not all, if it’s only about her identity, I would not be this unwilling. When I went to look for Qi Chenglin, how did I know he was married? Then Ruan Danchen had to accuse me of being a mistress, and she did so by baiting me to twist my words while hiding her identity, just to make a fool of me. After that showing off her relationship with Qi Chenglin in my face, with all her words filled with insults,” mid-sentence, Change Jingqiu started to cry, “Moreover, she was saying all those things in the first floor’s main hall in Qilin. That place was full of people coming and going, with so many of Qilin’s employees, and the front desk girls were just listening on the side. After I left, won’t this incident spread all over Qilin, even to our circles? Who knows what those people talked about behind my back.”

“She ruined my reputation.” Chang Jingqiu continued to cry, rubbing her tears with the back of her hands, looking pitiable, “Now that I think about it, I’m not sure if she was doing it on purpose, intentionally say all those stuff in front of others to slander against me just to take revenge on me. I didn’t know that Qi Chenglin was married, how could she treat me like that.”

Grandmother Chang grew more furious as she listened. “That’s over the line. With that kind of personality, how can she marry into Qi family!”

Based on Chang Qingqiu’s description, Ruan Danchen was many levels below her granddaughter. To think that Qi Chenglin would choose someone like that over her own granddaughter, Grandmother Qi feel aggrieved in her heart and that grievance could not find an outlet.

“It’s because of her acting skills. It took her so much effort to leech onto Qi Chenglin. In order to have the Qi family accept her and to get Qi Chenglin’s heart, she must have put on a gentle and generous facade, while revealing her despicable and mean personality behind their backs. Grandma, after some thoughts, I think she might have had a grudge on me since high school. However, I was still young and ignorant so I did not realize it. Now that I’ve grown up, stepping into society and started to slowly understand the way this world works, it’s starting to make sense.”

“Isn’t our family rich? I transferred schools midway, so on the third year of high school, I did not enter into Jixia High School, but instead, went to a public school. At that time, Chen Libai and I were the only ones with good family background. I was also quite popular. It would seem that Ruan Danchen did not like me much all the while, but during that time she was keeping a low profile in the class, keeping to herself. It may be due to her mother’s issue, she had quite the inferiority complex. At that time most people in our school knew about her mother’s incident, so her relationship with the students were not close. I did not realize it then, but now that I think about it, she treated me more coldly compared to anyone else. Whenever I initiated a conversation with her, she always ignored me, and even the way she looked at me was always cold.”

“Hmph!” Grandmother Chang harrumphed. “That’s her being envious, jealous! Behaving that way from such a young age, now that she’s grown up, at her current age, it’s no surprise that she turned out to be like you said. Especially with a mother without self-respect like Liu Ronghua, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, the daughter can’t be any better.”

Chang Jingqiu sniffled with her nose full of snot, finally stopping her tears, and said with puffy eyes, “If Qi Chenglin chose someone great, I wouldn’t mind. If he can’t recognize my value, that’s his loss, but to find someone like Ruan Danchen, how can accept it? Qi Chenglin and the whole Qi family is obviously tricked by Ruan Danchen. I don’t want to be a mistress, but I really want Qi Chenglin to see through Ruan Danchen’s real personality. I can’t allow him to be scammed by Ruan Danchen for his whole life.”

Chang Qingqiu did not go into detail, but Grandmother Chang understood fully. No matter what she said, Qi Chenglin was the Prince Charming in Chang Qingqiu’s life.

Now that Qi Chenglin was married to Ruan Danchen, by Chang Qingqiu’s perspective, it was as though casting pearls before swine.

Chang Qingqiu’s respect and veneration of Qi Chenglin could not accept that a woman like Ruan Danchen is destroying her Prince Charming’s image.

Grandmother Chang let out a long sigh and patted Chang Qingqiu’s back in consolation, “I can understand your feelings. To see such a good boy like Qi Chenglin to be tricked by Ruan Danchen, even I feel that it’s unfair. We must definitely not be a mistress. Tearing apart another family is also something we should not do. However, if it’s possible to have Qi Chenglin see Ruan Danchen’s true face and have him rid himself of such a despicable woman, that will be great. Of course, if Qi Chenglin already knew Ruan Danchen’s true face, yet pick her without a care of all consequences, then our hands are tied. We have done what we could.”

Chang Qingqiu nodded her head depressively. Grandmother Chang hugged her, consoling, “Isn’t Grandma’s birthday coming up? I will ask your uncle to send an invitation to the Qi family. They will have to give your grandmother some respect, they will come. At that time, I’ll personally talk to that Ruan Danchen.”

Chang Qingqiu was not afraid that her lies would be revealed since she already told Grandmother Chang that Ruan Danchen was two-faced. With that she had no fear that Grandmother Chang will feel that Ruan Danchen was likeable after meeting with her.

Rather, Grandmother Chang might even think that Ruan Danchen’s acting skills were just too good.

“Oh yeah, Grandma, there’s something else.” Chang Qingqiu lifted her head from Grandmother Chang’s embrace, frowning slightly. “Ruan Danchen claims that Qi Chenglin’s son is her biological son. Do you think they have been together back then?”

“Hmph, if that’s true, how old was Ruan Danchen when she was pregnant?” Grandmother Chang pouted, feeling even more annoyed.

“She’s the same age as me,” Chang Qingqiu said obediently.

“That means she’s only 19 years old when she was pregnant?” Grandmother Chang glared, already disliking Ruan Danchen even more before they even met. “Having a child for another man at 19 years old, what kind of morals! At that time she must have held onto Qi Chenglin unwilling to let go, yet somehow broke up afterwards.”

“Regardless, they are now together again.” Chang Qingqiu said. “I’m afraid Ruan Danchen is using the child to grab hold of Qi Chenglin. I heard the Qi family adored Qi Chenglin’s son greatly. If Ruan Danchen is really the biological mother, they might extend that love for his son over to her.”

Grandmother Chang groaned for a moment, then ruffled Chang Qingqiu’s hair, “alright, don’t think too much. This terrible incident has made you feel depressed. Take the afternoon off and go take a nap. You’ll feel better after a nap.”

Chang Qingqiu obediently nodded and stood up with droopy shoulders. Seeing her made her way upstairs dejectedly, Grandmother Chang felt aggrieved.

Chang Qingqiu went back to her room, sat on the bed and frowned in deep thought.

When she was bringing Ruan Danchen’s matter to Grandmother Chang, she thoguht of something.

Back then Qi Chenglin was engaged to Shen Zhijing, then later cancelled the engagement, and later without any notice brought a son back to the Qi family. Now Ruan Danchen suddenly appears and claimed that she was the biological mother.

Chang Qingqiu frowned as she paced within the room. Was this matter somehow related to Shen Zhijing?

No matter how you put it, Shen Zhijing was one of the persons involved in this.

After some thoughts, Chang Qingqiu took out a phone from her bag and gave Xia Zishan a call, “Zishan, are you close to Shen Zhijing?”

“A little. We have met a few times. What’s the matter?” Xia Zishan asked in confusion.

“Oh, nothing much. Invite her over for some fun when if she’s free,” Chang Qingqiu replied.

Xia Zishan was dumbfounded, and asked out of curiosity, “I don’t think you have met Shen Zhijing before right? Why do you suddenly want to meet her?”

“It’s just some minor things, no need to let her know. Just treat it as getting to know each other through some fun times. Be natural.” Chang Qingqiu said. “Don’t tell her that I’m trying to know her.”

“What’s going on?” Chang Jingqiu’s mysterious behavior was making Xia Zishan more and more curious.

“Don’t ask. Think of it as helping a friend,” Chang Qingqiu was getting a little impatient, but she did not want to voice it out.

“Sure, it’s just a small matter, nothing I can’t help with,” replied Xia Zishan. When it comes to Chen Libai’s matters, Chang Qingqiu was quite helpful. With Chang Qingqiu’s request being nothing too difficult, she would naturally agree to help.

“Let me see, how about tomorrow? I’ll give her a call and ask her out for dinner and karaoke. I’ll call along a few friends too. That should look more natural, and I’m sure she won’t think too much about it.”

“Alright, you take care of it,” Chang Qingqiu replied.

“Okay then, I’ll call her and make an appointment with her,” Xia Zishan said.

They then ended the call.

...

The news of Ruan Danchen personally going downstairs to confront her love rival spread quickly and got to Qi Chenglin’s ears. Even the words used by Ruan Danchen on Chang Qingqiu brought to his knowledge.

Why would he know about it?

If was none other than the girls impatiently chatting with others, spreading the news that the director’s wife allied with the General Manager’s wife to fight with a mistress in full details. Ruan Danchen and Song Yu’s words were all repeated word for word.

When Jiang Yuan came to notify him, Qi Chenglin was laughing uncontrollably while listening. He felt that the way Ruan Danchen talked with Chang Qingqiu had a similar effect to Qi Youxuan in the way that it will make someone speechless.

After work, Qi Chenglin went directly to the design department’s door and waited for Ruan Danchen.

At first Ruan Danchen still had some unfinished work, but it was not worth going overtime or bringing it home, so she decided to finish it right here as it would only take another five or six minutes.

However with Qi Chenglin standing there at the door, everyone was heavily pressured.

Manager Zou had to stay for overtime that night so he took his mug and walked towards the pantry, wanting to get some coffee, yet unexpectedly ran into Qi Chenglin the moment he exited the door.

“General Manager!” Manager Zou panicked and blurted.

“Chill, I’m just waiting for Danchen,” Qi Chenglin said, making Manager Zou more nervous.

From his vantage point, Ruan Danchen kept working with her head down, not raising her head at all and continued to be oblivious to his presence.

“General Manager, please wait a moment, I’ll go notify Mrs. General Manager,” Manager Zou did not mind the troublesome title of ‘Mrs. General Manager’, but rather said it in all seriousness.

Without waiting for Qi Chenglin’s affirmation, Manager Zou had walked back with his empty mug.

He walked up to Ruan Danchen’s desk, then asked in a polite manner, “Mrs. General Manager, you’re not going back yet?”

It took Ruan Danchen quite some time before she realized that Manager Zou was speaking to her. She was not used to being addressed this way, especially in this office and Manager Zou being her superior.

Ruan Danchen raised her head and touched the tip of her nose with a pen, then said uncomfortably, “Manager Zou, how you have addressed me and talked to me in the past, you should interact with me in the same way in the future. All these Mrs. General Manager and ‘You’[1], I feel very pressured when you address me like that during working hours.”

“...” Manager Zou hesitated for some time before he spoke, “With a Manager’s spouse working under me, I’m feeling pressured too.”

“...” Ruan Danchen noticed that extremely stern facial expression on Manager Zou’s face, then sighed, “then let’s make a deal. In private you can call me Mrs. General Manager all you like, but during working hours we address each other based on our seniority. Will that work? You see, even if I’m the General Manager’s wife, our company does not have a position of Mrs. General Manager. During working hours, you are my superior. We’ll just handle this professionally, okay?”

Manager Zou gritted his teeth, then reluctantly agreed, “Alright.”

Ruan Danchen smiled, “What do you need me for?”

“Oh right, the General Manager is waiting for you right outside,” Manager Zou quickly replied after he remembered the reason he looked for Ruan Danchen.

Ruan Danchen looked over and saw that Qi Chenglin was waiting outside. She had forgotten about the time while working. She quickly called out to Qi Chenglin, “You wait a minute, I’ll pack up now.”

To have Qi Chenglin waiting outside for her to finish her work, she felt greatly pressured.

At that moment she could really empathize with Manager Zou’s feelings.

As she was busy packing up, Qi Chenglin got tired and walked right in. He looked at her draft that was almost finished, “How much left?”

“It’s just five minutes of work. I’ll bring it home to finish it,” Ruan Danchen said and packed everything.

She followed Qi Chenglin and left the office. When they arrived at the carpark, she saw from afar his black Mercedes-Benz.

At that moment, Xiao Yang got out of the car and stood to the front car. The back car window wound down and Lil’ Qi Youxuan’s head poked out from the car.

During Winter time, Ruan Danchen insisted that he put on a hat while being outdoors. That day he went to Jade Field Park with Guan Liya. When Xiao Yang brought him over from Jade Field PArk, Guan Liya also insisted for him to put on his hat.

That was why he did not style his hair that day. The soft and fine hair stuck to his head smoothly, making him look even cuter than usual.

“Daddy, Mommy!” Qi Youxuan immediately waved at them, causing the other coworkers in the parking lot to look over. Seeing Qi Youxuan’s cuteness, they all could not help but smile.

“Why did Youxuan come along?” Ruan Danchen quickened her pace while asking Qi Chenglin.

“We’re getting the ring tonight, and I’m afraid he might be impatient at home, so I brought him along. We’ll just have our dinner outside as well.” Qi Chenglin held her hands, raised them, and then rubbed them. “We’re already married. I feel that I should put on a ring to avoid others mistaking me to be single.”

Qi Chenglin threw a look at her, that pair of black eyes full of warmth and gentleness, smiling, “Next time if any woman tries latch on to me, I don’t have to say much and just show them my left hand.”

“You know of the incident this afternoon?” Ruan Danchen put on a smile that did not look like a smile. Qi Chenglin felt that she was making fun of him for leaving her with such a mess, throwing so many love rivals for her to get rid of.

“Cough.” Qi Chenglin raised his head and looked upwards. “I did not expect her to be that smart to think of using you to enter the company.”

Unfortunately for Chang Qingqiu, her attempt at being a mistress ran right into the legitimate wife. Was that not looking for trouble?

Ruan Danchen harrumphed angrily. If not for him being too attractive, why would a woman take the initiative to come all the way to the company to find him?

Nowadays women can behave in a scary manner when they take the initiative. Discovering a man with good conditions, they would fight for him to no end.

Even though this incident was not Qi Chenglin’s fault, but to express her dissatisfaction of him being too attractive, she insisted to sit in the backseat with Qi Youxuan.

Qi Chenglin looked at her, feeling wronged. He did not purposely attract them.

However, since Ruan Danchen was angry, he did not dare to voice out. Instead, he secretly felt rather happy. The angrier she gets meant the more she cared for him. Later he would put in the extra effort to coax her. His heart was bubbling up with feeling of sweetness.

As he entertained those thoughts, the corner of his mouth started curling upwards, driving away happily.

Ruan Danchen saw Qi Chenglin’s lips curling upwards via the rear-view mirror, thought to herself that he seems to be in a good mood with her being angry. However, considering Qi Chenglin’s temper, she could somewhat guess the reason behind him being in a good mood and then could not help but smile.

Qi Chenglin’s brows twitched, his pair of black orbs smiling.

He thought to himself that his wife was just that cute and so understanding. Without needing any coaxing, her anger was gone just like that. Thinking about it, the smile on Qi Chenglin’s handsome face got even brighter. He was thinking that he could now legitimately and openly proclaim ‘my wife’. Just silently saying it to himself in his mind was already so exhilarating, he needs to find a chance to announce this loudly and feel the excitement.

Qi Youxuan had some snacks during the day while he was at Jade Park Field so he was not really hungry. Only after Ruan Danchen had made sure he was not hungry did she agree to Qi Chenglin’s suggestion to head to the shop for ring purchase first.

...

When they reached the store, Qi Chenglin picked a simple ring for himself. It’s just a simple round ring with no patterns or diamond inlays worn over his ring finger on his left hand, yet it looked extremely elegant on him.

His long slender fingers elegant and distinct, the ring simple and majestic.

After that, the manager went into the backroom, took out a tray from the safe with a ring on it. When the manager came out, he was surrounded front and back by two serious-faced bodyguards dressed in black.

Looking at the seriousness of the two bodyguard’s expression, Ruan Danchen felt greatly pressured. Even Qi Youxuan felt nervous and leaned in closer to Ruan Danchen’s leg.

The manager put the tray down and removed the flannel on top, revealing a little transparent box underneath.

It was obvious the box was made with some sort of anti-theft glass. Ruan Danchen did not know if there were any more technologically advanced and more amazing materials. The bottom bracket underneath the box came with a passworded lock.

Through the glass, Ruan Danchen could see a diamond ring within it. The blue diamond was more towards the hue of powder blue instead of a sharp blue color. The craftsmanship of the cut was exquisite, unlike the classy flair of modern craftsmanship. However, it looked more beautiful than any other ring out there.

This store’s brand was famous. Ruan Danchen had only ever heard of it. The commonly priced ring in this store was something she could afford, but would definitely be unwilling to buy. If it were the better looking designs, then she really could not afford them.

When she entered the store, Ruan Danchen felt a little dizzy. She felt that every design here had its own uniqueness, refined and beautiful.

However, after looking at that particular ring, the rest of the rings were incomparable.

Even though the band of this ring was not a complicated or rare design, but instead just a simple ring.
