Chapter 184 - 184: Cheated Upon
"Seeing that you are Xiao Nan's sister, I found you a lot of high-quality film and television resources."
"Is this how you treat me?"
Zhang Qi said coldly.
He was 32 years old this year and had a strong and sturdy figure. He was loyal to his wife and loved her. He was serious and responsible in his work. He was also easy-going and tolerant when dealing with others. However, he had never thought that his most intimate lover would set such a trap to completely destroy him.
If he hadn't overheard the conspiracy at the beginning..,
if Gu Manxi hadn't warned him repeatedly..,
He wouldn't be able to clear his name no matter what he did.
"Uh... Zhang Qi, it's all a misunderstanding." Xiao Xue rolled her eyes and sat on the ground pitifully. "It's all my fault. I saw that you and my sister were in love and I was jealous... That's why I wanted to destroy your relationship."
At a time like this, Xiao Xue naturally knew what to do.
Zhang Qi was the Xiao family's money tree, and they could not afford to lose him.
Her uncle's house, second uncle's car, and her expensive cosmetics were all bought with Zhang Qi's money. With Zhang Qi, she, her sister, and her parents and relatives could live a good life.
Xiao Nan also knew that the plot had been exposed. She sobbed and walked to Zhang Qi's side, crying. "I'm sorry... I just love you too much, that's why I was deceived by my sister. Please don't be angry..."
Zhang Qi did not say a word.
Gu Manxi looked at Song Chen. Gu Manxi had experienced many things, and she could gradually see through the hypocrisy of women. She was worried that Zhang Qi would be fooled by sugar-coated bullets. Song Chen gave her a reassuring look.
"Alas, Zhang, I won't be impulsive next time." The one who spoke was Xiao Nan's cousin. He was in his thirties, a useless gangster who had yet to marry a wife. He was afraid that Zhang Qi would get suspicious, so he decided to play the family card. "Lil Nan takes care of the child every day. She's also tired, so she's letting her imagination run wild. For the sake of the child, let's put this matter behind us."
"Yes, the child is still young. You two shouldn't fight." On the other side, the uncle started to advise Zhang Qi to turn this big issue into a small one.
The manager, Wang Zhiwen, coughed slightly and showed a professional attitude. "Zhang Qi, this is your family matter. I don't want to get involved. I bumped into Xiao Nan on the way. Don't blow this matter up, it will affect your career."
The people around him tried to persuade him.
His son did not understand what was happening and happily went over to call his father.
However, the usually good man, Zhang Qi, did not move at all this time. In the face of his wife and children crying and his relatives trying to persuade him, Zhang Qi's tanned face was not moved at all. There was only coldness.
Zhang Qi said, "Why do you all take advantage of the honest folks?"
His voice trembled slightly. It was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.
Xiao Nan's eyes were full of tears. "Zhang Qi, I already said that it was a misunderstanding! I didn't scheme against you. We're husband and wife. I'm alone at home with Jiejie. Do you know how hard it is for me?"
Zhang Qi said, "Cousin, you're planning to take the betrothal gift money for your wife from me, right?"
His cousin let out a mumble and quickly denied it.
Zhang Qi said again, "Uncle, your son wants to change his car. Your family doesn't have any money, so you want to borrow from me, don't you?"
His uncle was embarrassed.
Zhang Qi said, "Xiao Xue, the cosmetics you asked me to buy for you are worth at least 80,000 if not 100,000."
Xiao Xue acted coquettishly. "Brother-in-law, I'm an actor, so I definitely want good cosmetics. I'll return the money to you when I earn some money."
Zhang Qi looked at his wife, Xiao Nan, and then at his manager, Wang Zhiwen.. He said calmly, "I've raised your son for five years. Aren't you going to thank me?"
