Chapter 448: An Apology
After hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Li Rongpeng hemmed and hawed and looked at him, ”Yes, that’s what a man is, yes, it’s killing me, but it doesn’t change anything. Besides, who told you that nothing happened last night? What should have happened has happened, now Zishan is my person, even her underwear was bought by me, or I put it on her ……”
He deliberately angry Jiang Tao, is to let Zi Shan look at Jiang Tao as a man’s careful eyes, to confirm that Jiang Tao and other men are no different, Zi Shan eyes Jiang Tao’s good is just false, is her own in lying to themselves, all the good is nothing more than her own whitewash out.
After losing confidence in Jiang Tao and men, he, Li Rongpeng, can have the opportunity to enter the house. He naturally has his own way to make Zi Shan believe in him, even if he is not a good person, but also to become a true villain in Zi Shan’s heart – at least, he will not lie to her – the fact that is not so doesn’t matter.
Jiang Tao slammed his fist into his face again, causing his nose to bleed, “Shut your mouth.” After he finished speaking, he didn’t care if Li Rongpeng shut up or not, and punched after punched, but this time he punched Li Rongpeng’s stomach, and after he stopped, he stared at Li Rongpeng’s eyes, “I know what you want to do.”
“Aren’t you just trying to use last night’s incident to provoke my relationship with Zi Shan? I can tell you plainly now, even if what happened last night, even if everything you said is true, so what? The person Zi Shan loves is me, and the person she’s going to marry is me – everything last night was something she didn’t want, something she was forced to do.”
“She’s a victim, and as her lover, her husband, her partner, all I should do is to guard her, give her support, love her more than before, care for her more tenderly than before, and because she’s been hurt, all the more reason for me to love and support her twice as much, so that she’ll know that none of that was her fault.”
He gave Li Rongpeng another punch, “If you really hurt Zi Shan, I will not do anything about you now just the same, but I will not make empty promises, I will kill you when I say I will, because, the one who is in the wrong is you not Zi Shan, and I will not let Zi Shan suffer your mistakes. That, is what makes a man. You, really can’t be considered a man, full of filth, judging others by yourself.”
No longer talking nonsense with Li Rongpeng, he walked to Zi Shan’s side and extended his hand, “Let’s go.”
Zi Shan looked at his eyes, saw sincerity in his eyes, knew that what he said was true – he cared not about what happened last night, only he only cared if she was hurt, even if Li Rongpeng hurt her last night, today Jiang Tao would not dislike her.
He is lucky to get such a real man’s love, no matter what will happen in the future, Zi Shan knows that she will not change her mind again – all her life, she can not fall in love with another man.
Even if a better man than Jiang Tao existed and appeared in front of her eyes, the result would be the same, for no reason at all, simply because she loved Jiang Tao, only Jiang Tao.
“I was thinking during yesterday, what kind of happiness it would be to open my eyes and say good morning to you this morning.” She reached out to hold Jiang Tao’s hand but didn’t stand up, “But I didn’t think of waking up today but it seems like a nightmare, but ……”
Jiang Tao smiled faintly, “What I wanted was also to say good morning to you this morning and then have breakfast with you and the baby, even though I wasn’t by your side when you woke up, I still wanted to say good morning to you. Nothing can stop us, Vixen.”
Zixan nodded and stood up hard, “Yes, nothing can stop us.”
Li Rongpeng suddenly reached out and restrained Jiang Tao at once, looking at Zi Shan he shouted, “Have you forgotten that he was with another woman last night? He’s talking nicely now, it’s just to get you to let him off the hook, to get you to do what he says – to make it clear to you that last night’s fault wasn’t his, and that you should just pretend that nothing happened.”
“But everything happened, only Jiang Tao treated it as if nothing had happened, he made a show of coming to you to say what morning, made a show of saying a few sweet words to coax you, for the sake of just not wanting you to pursue the fact that he was with that woman last night.”
His eyes widened, “Zixan, use your head, why didn’t he say anything about what he did last night, why didn’t he say anything about who he was with last night – he and that woman are old acquaintances, Zixan! He’s protecting that woman by not saying anything, don’t you understand?”
Jiang Tao was about to speak when Zi Shan shook her head at him, “You don’t have to speak.” Looking to Li Rongpeng she took two steps forward, “You let go of Jiang Tao. I don’t think you want to use force to solve it, just like what you’re doing to Jiang Tao right now, even if you have the strength so what, even if you hold down Jiang Tao are you even a winner?”
Li Rongpeng let go of Jiang Tao, because he knew that Zi Shan was right, a lot of things in the world is not a big fist can be divided into winners and losers, and it is not that he beat Jiang Tao to the ground, beat him half dead, or even beat him to death even if he won, he stared at Zi Shan’s eyes, “What I said is the truth, he Jiang Tao did not mention half a word from the beginning to the end, that is, he wanted to avoid this matter. ”
Zi Shan looked into his eyes, “What makes you think that something must have happened last night? Did you see it with your own eyes? Also, so what if it happened, that woman is nothing more than a substitute for me, in Jiang Tao’s heart he thinks that person is me.”
“As for the reasons for not mentioning it, there are many reasons, such as he doesn’t want to mention it because I don’t want to hear it, or mentioning it here or something like that, but it will never be the kind of reason you said. I believe Jiang Tao, I love Jiang Tao as he treats me.” Zi Shan looked at Li Rongpeng, “So, you are destined to be a loser and can never win.”
Li Rongpeng stared at Zi Shan in disbelief, he could not imagine that things happened completely out of his expectation, ever since Jiang Tao entered the door, everything was out of control, not at all according to his way of thinking.
“I know, you thought nothing happened last night, hey, women are women, when they don’t dare to face it, they embellish it, so that they can make themselves much better isn’t it? But you have to realize that even if it was better that’s not true, that’s not true. Nothing about last night is going to change.”
He waved his arm, “Zisan, don’t fool yourself anymore, and don’t be led by Jiang Tao anymore, he is simply defending that woman, otherwise, he should have told you everything a long time ago, why would he need to perform to in front of you? In this way, he got the complete initiative.”
Jiang Tao spoke faintly, “It’s also true that nothing happened last night.” Speaking here he looked at Zi Shan and said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Zi Shan. Last night, I drank too much – now that I think about it, the reason why Feng Dayong showed up and made a toast should be at his behest.”
Li Rongpeng smiled, “Of course. I just got his son out of the way, oh, not kidnapping just got him a very authoritative doctor to look at his illness, and Feng Dayong did what I asked because he was grateful to me. If not for him, you really wouldn’t have gotten drunk like that.”
He was smug: “There’s another thing you don’t know, you’re not the only one in Blue Water City who knows journalists, there are journalists who have good friendships, and so do I. Well, the toasts from the journalists yesterday were very enthusiastic, weren’t they? You’re happy that so many people are willing to wish you well, right? It’s just that you’d never have guessed that they’re my people.”
Zi Shan and Jiang Tao looked at each other, no one said anything but neither of them were angry or sad, just as Jiang Tao would support Zi Shan when she was hurt, Zi Shan wouldn’t be harsh on Jiang Tao in this matter – she trusted Jiang Tao and knew that Jiang Tao’s heart was in the rest.
Jiang Tao spoke again, “I’m sorry, Zi Shan. Because you believe in me, love me, and don’t blame me, I feel even more guilty.” He looked at Li Rongpeng, “I have never hated someone so much, and you are the person I hate the most.”
Li Rongpeng laughed out loud, “It’s a great honor.” What could make him happier than now? Looking at Jiang Tao’s guilt – Jiang Tao is just as capable as the heavens, he can’t change everything that happened last night, he looked at Jiang Tao, “Zi Shan doesn’t blame you, but you really have the face to continue to stay by Zi Shan’s side.”
Although things are different from what he thought, but there is nothing wrong with changing it slightly, in short, as long as the final result is Zishan and Li Rongpeng breaking up, then his purpose is achieved.
Zishan said angrily, “Li Rongpeng, don’t think you can succeed, Jiang Tao, if you dare ……”
Jiang Tao shook his head and shook it again, “I don’t dare, and I don’t want to leave you, Zi Shan, because I simply can’t do it anymore to leave you and the baby, that’s not something I’m capable of, so I won’t say something irresponsible like that.”
Zi Shan glared at him, although Jiang Tao apologized, but her heart was always strange, feeling that things would never be the same as hearing this on the surface now.
“Why would I defend that woman, yes, I do know her, but I won’t defend her, she’s right downstairs in your house, if you want to meet her live and see.” Jiang Tao looked at Li Rongpeng: “You have miscalculated every step of the way, the reason is actually very simple, that is, you are too selfish in your heart to only have yourself, and you simply don’t know what is called love.”
He shrugged his shoulders, “You think you can turn Zishan and I against each other through this arrangement? How is it possible, we are not children’s family, if we are a few years younger there may be misunderstandings, there are a few days of gripping our hearts and livers, but in the end we will still be together, because I love Zishan and Zishan loves me.”
“You forgot to include both of our loves, that’s why you lost it all, Li Rongpeng.” Jiang Tao took a long breath and shook his head as he watched Li Rongpeng walk over to the glass door, “You’re not just now remembering why I came alone, are you? Speaking as a lawyer, my strengths definitely don’t lie in beating people up, coming barehanded wasn’t to save Zi Shan at all.”
Li Rongpeng’s face changed slightly, “You brought someone?” He was actually most worried that Jiang Tao had called the police, and because he was too worried he didn’t dare to ask.
