The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Chapter 200 Zhao Yuan and Chen Yuanxi Hurt Each Other with Words

After receiving Wang Zhengjuan’s wedding invitation, Chen Yuanxi met Wang Wankun and his wife again. He only showed them the video in the laptop, which showed Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan’s life in Shanghai.

“Are you sure you are going to destroy your daughter’s happiness by yourselves?” asked Chen Yuanxi.

Wang Wankun and Rao Yu looked at each other, and nodded at the same time. “This stupid mistake of the two girls should be corrected now. When Juan’er gets married and has children, she will know that what we’re going to do is good for her.”

“Well, I won’t say more. Give me what I want,” said Chen Yuanxi.

“Juan’er is not married. She hasn’t got the marriage certificate,” said Rao Yu.

“Do you know the end of the sheeple? They usually will be killed by either side. Since I can monitor Wang Zhengjuan, I also can do what I want to her.” Chen Yuanxi pounded the table heavily.

“Give me what I want in three days, or your daughter will be dead! By the way, I needn’t Wang Chang’s address now. He’s dead. Mo Qian did it!” Chen Yuanxi said, got up, and left.

Two days later, a package was sent to Chen Yuanxi’s house.

Zhang Dong scanned the package for a while, but he was still uneasy. He asked Chen Yuanxi to return to his bedroom. Then he put the package into the explosion-proof box and opened it.

Inside were Wang Wankun’s and Rao Yu’s confession, signatures, as well as the recordings and videos of various cases.

“Zhengjuan, put off the wedding for half a month. When you meet something important soon, please contact me.” Chen Yuanxi immediately called Wang Zhengjuan when he received the package.

Wang Zhengjuan agreed. The hardest time had passed, and the rest was no longer important to her. But the so-called important event Chen Yuanxi said did puzzle her for some time. When the important event really came, she was unprepared. And obviously, Chen Yuanxi was clearly aware of all this!

A few days later, Wang Zhengjuan called Chen Yuanxi and angrily scolded, “Chen Yuanxi, didn’t you say that you would ensure my parents’ safety? How could they be kidnapped?”

“The kidnapper said he wanted you to get married, right? He also sent you the video of your parents, right? He also threatened you not to call the police, right?” “That’s all the Mo Family can do,” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.

“You... can you still laugh?”

“Fortunately, you didn’t call the police. You can get married now. Your parents will be OK. Don’t worry,” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.

“Chen Yuanxi, how can I believe you?” asked Wang Zhengjuan.

“You have to believe me. Hold the wedding ceremony several days later. Didn’t you prepare everything before? Or you can try to call the police.” One could not feel Chen Yuanxi’s emotion from his voice. Wang Zhengjuan threw away the phone. For the first time in her life, she fell on the table, holding her and Zhou Nannan’s old photos and crying.

Wang Zhengjuan’s wedding was a great show.

Maybe it took her husband more than ten years to get her, so he wanted to tell the whole world about it.

Many students could not show up, because the invitation was so unexpected, but Zhao Yuan wanted to invite Chen Yuanxi to go with him.

“I have something else to do. Please... give my best wishes to them. Besides, send more people to look after Nannan,” said Chen Yuanxi.

“Nannan will attend Zhengjuan’s wedding and... be the bridesmaid.” Zhao Yuan looked a little sad.

“It’s like their own wedding, isn’t it?” Chen Yuanxi said with a smile.

Chen Yuanxi gawked at the live show of the wedding ceremony. Accidentally, he enlarged Zhou Nannan’s facial expression and immediately turned off the video.

“Wenxi?” Zhang Dong came to him and said, “You...”

“I’m okay!” Chen Yuanxi said, looking at the tissue delivered by Zhang Dong in fear. He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself. Tears had already flowed to his cheeks at some time.

“Zhang Dong, I could have done better, right?” asked Chen Yuanxi.

“If there had been a chance,” Zhang Dong said as he could not help but get close to Chen Yuanxi. He wiped the tears for him and said, “You even don’t know you are crying. Wenxi, I really hope that one day, you can cry and laugh at any time. Looking at you now, I feel...” Zhang Dong said and suddenly felt sad. He turned around and went on, “Wenxi, what else can I do besides being by your side?”

“Nothing, there’s nothing you need to do.” Chen Yuanxi calmed down. His cell phone rang again. It was Wang Wankun who called him.

“You said you would keep us safe,” said Wang Wankun.

“Aren’t you safe now?”

“But Boss Mo let me go, because he knew my daughter was married.”

“It means you are safer. You can continue to work for the Mo Family in the future.”

“You said you could help me and my wife go to America!”

“There are so many people to go to America that you are not in the plan for the time being.”

“Chen Yuanxi! You!”

“Perform the following tasks the Mo Family will give you. Remember not to get involved in the criminal cases. When the final battle comes in the future, I will help you apply for commutation because of your contribution.” After that, Chen Yuanxi hung up.

Zhang Dong curiously asked, “You... got something for nothing, didn’t you?”

“Maybe I did.”

Chen Yuanxi said and deleted the microblog that had been put the other day.

A few days ago, on the Qingming Festival, Chen Yuanxi asked Zheng Kai to do something. He knew that Hong Xuan would appear there. The letter brought to Hong Xuan said, “Try your best to delay the kidnapping of Wang Wankun and don’t stop until I write down OK on my microblog.”

“I have got two pieces of evidence, but there is almost no evidence related to Chen Tianjiao. I wonder whether Uncle Hong Xuan has found any evidence in recent years. And if he has found, who did he give the evidence to?”

Chen Yuanxi thought about it for a long time. Suddenly, he was enlightened. “Mo Qian seems to be at odds with Chen Tianjiao. What if I target at Chen Tianjiao?”

That night, Zhao Yuan asked Chen Yuanxi to go to his residence.

“Don’t question me anymore. I know what you will ask,” said Chen Yuanxi.

“You have cheated both Wang Zhengjuan and her parents, haven’t you?” Zhao Yuan asked.

“So what? Her father and mother have stewed in their own juice. They will run their course in the Mo Family, which is none of my business. Enough, don’t bother me with these little things. I can’t think of any other way to get the evidence of Chen Tianjiao now. Tell me, do you have any idea?” asked Chen Yuanxi.

“Yuanxi, they and us... are the same. Wasn’t there any other way? At least, we should have a discussion in advance. Maybe there would be a better way,” said Zhao Yuan.

Chen Yuanxi kept silent.

“Can’t you work a little harder and help them...” At today’s wedding, Zhao Yuan could not bear to see Zhou Nannan’s eyes.

In the past six years, Lin Wenxi did not know how hard the couple had gone, but Zhao Yuan felt the same.

Zhou Nannan wanted to accompany Wang Zhengjuan to go abroad for further study, but her parents strongly opposed it. Under great pressure, Wang Zhengjuan gave up the admission to university and stayed with Zhou Nannan. Even if their families did not provide them with money, they supported each other and worked hard for part-time jobs until graduation.

But after graduation, they knew that the outside world was not as gentle and uncontested as the university. Dreams are beautiful, but the reality is very cruel. Here, Wang Zhengjuan could not declare sovereignty over Zhou Nannan to anyone anymore. Both of them were excellent. When they faced with boys who liked them, they were upset and it often took pains to get rid of those boys. Sometimes, because of their own helplessness and misunderstanding, they were angry with each other and their relationship got further and further apart. Finally, the two chose to give up the coexistence of social life and their work. Since then Zhou Nannan worked at home, while Wang Zhengjuan opened a taekwondo club with the help of Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin. After painstaking management, they opened a coffee shop that Zhou Nannan most wanted to own.

During that time, the men living in dormitory 216 and women living in dormitory 419 almost assembled every day to renovate the shop. Zheng Kai was responsible for the fire safety. Zhou Nannan and Wang Xiang were responsible for the overall decoration and layout of the shop. Zhao Yuan, Shu Xiaoman, and Chen Wanxin tried their best to attract customers and find employees. Zhang An’an assisted in advertising.

Since Lin Wenxi left, in addition to working hard for BC Company, Chen Wanxin had been trying to find a way to repair the relationship with her college classmates. Although because of what had happened, Zhao Yuan and Shu Xiaoman hated Chen Wanxin, and Wang Xiang and Zhou Nannan also were indifferent to her at that time, they still maintained a semblance of peace. In the past few years, they had been fighting for their own lives, making it difficult for classmates to get together again. Struggling in the society, people were like the friendless wind. Because of that chance, they reunited and once again felt the friendships with classmates that they had not experienced for years, and thus so many things had faded away.

In the eyes of others, they were elites who were financial dependent. Only Zhao Yuan knew that the joys, sorrows, pains, and difficulties they had experienced, which he also bore in mind and was proud of. He believed that by the time Lin Wenxi and he met again, both of them would have avenged. At that time, they could take up the wine cup and chat merrily and talk about all kinds of these years under the starry sky and moon in a remote village. The water was silent and they would not complain about the sorrow.

It could be said that Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan bore Zhao Yuan’s yearning for life in the future. No matter how the world changed, Zhao Yuan always had such hope in his mind. With the expectations for them, the longing for Lin Wenxi, and the deep hatred in his heart, Zhao Yuan was able to hold on until now and had not turned crazy.

If Wang Zhengjuan had not bitten her tongue when she was drinking in pain, and if she had not been out of control, cried and said everything to Zhao Yuan in private when she saw Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan would never know that it was Lin Wenxi who destroyed all this, who he regarded as the last ideal town.

“It wouldn’t be like this if Wenxi has other ways. He’s sad, too! Today, he...” Zhang Dong finally could not help saying.

“Stop!” Chen Yuanxi frowned and stopped Zhang Dong. “Let’s discuss how to investigate Chen Tianjiao...”

Zhao Yuan said angrily, “You only care about that! Isn’t Zhang Dong around you? Why don’t you ask for his idea?”

Zhang Dong said slowly, “Zhao Yuan, you shouldn’t be angry with Wenxi!”

“Zhang Dong, you’re not allowed to talk!” Zhao Yuan suddenly snapped, “Do you know how much effort I have made to solve your problems? If you can’t take good care of Wenxi, what are you staying with him for? For playing in the water?”

Chen Yuanxi looked at Zhao Yuan incredulously and said, “Zhao Yuan, who are you insulting?”

“I saw it all!” Zhao Yuan said in a cold voice.

“I was so happy that I was impolite to Wenxi at that time. I admit I didn’t control myself. But if you are angry, vent your anger on me. Wenxi is innocent!” Zhang Dong was a little worried.

“Zhao Yuan, do you know how many people you brought trouble to when you joined the Mo Family? How many girls did you use? When you pointed the knife at me, did you think about my feeling, even if you didn’t really want to hurt me?” Chen Yuanxi said in a cold voice, “Playing in the water? I’m afraid that you and Chen Wanxin have done it many times!”

“You... but what you are doing now will destroy their whole lives! Yuanxi, you didn’t attend the wedding, because you were afraid, weren’t you?” Zhao Yuan could not help but feel angry.

“What did you call me?” Chen Yuanxi could not help standing up, picked up the books on the desk, and threw them at Zhao Yuan’s head and face.

Zhao Yuan stood up and said as he dodged, “You’ve changed your name. Why can’t I call you like that!”

“Zhao Yuan! Get out of here!” Chen Yuanxi pointed at the door and shouted loudly.

“I won’t leave. I’m not like you!” said Zhao Yuan.

“Fine! I’ll leave!” Chen Yuanxi was so angry that he trembled all over and his eyes were full of tears.

“Lin Wenxi! Stop!” Zhao Yuan screamed and rushed up to hold Chen Yuanxi.

“Where are you going to this time? It was you who left every time! You left me to teach in rural areas! You ran away in an earthquake! You also left me when we went out together! At last, at last you left me another six years.”

“If you leave again, I’ll leave, too!”

Zhao Yuan hugged Chen Yuanxi tightly, and unexpectedly cried.

Zhang Dong turned his back and closed the door.

“Every time I left, it was because of you! Zhao Yuan... let me go!” On looking back on the past, Chen Yuanxi could not help crying and said, “I am Chen Yuanxi! Just as you said, I am Chen Yuanxi!”

Chen Yuanxi bit Zhao Yuan on the chest, who then suddenly trembled and released his hands, “At the beginning, you did the same to me...”

Chen Yuanxi let go of the door handle and said, “Probably, we have never been able to go the same way.”

“People who is close to you benefits first, right? He did that to you twice, but you can still keep him by your side...” Zhao Yuan suddenly felt despair in his heart and could not help crying out.

Chen Yuanxi sneered and said, “Zhao Yuan, aren’t you going to marry Chen Wanxin? You two swore again in front of your father’s grave, didn’t you? Hurry up and get the marriage certificate! It’s none of my business who you will marry!” On the night of Qingming Festival, Chen Yuanxi found that Zheng Kai’s mood was strange when he called him. As for the reason why Zheng Kai had worshiped Zhao Mingjiang in private, Chen Yuanxi did not dare to investigate.

“Wenxi, I’m sorry. It’s my fault...” It seemed that Zhao Yuan’s weakness had been attacked and he apologized to Lin Wenxi.

“I don’t want to hear about it. Anyway, it’s the best thing that you can still have sex with a woman, so you don’t have to go with me in the future...” Chen Yuanxi seemed to be crazy at the moment. He also did not understand why he was so angry. He seemed to lose control. He called Zhang Dong in, rushed up, and kissed him. Then he shouted to Zhao Yuan in tears, “Get married quickly! Go to get married! I’ll be with him!”

Seeing that Zhao Yuan did not respond, Chen Yuanxi suddenly stamped his feet, threw himself on Zhao Yuan, and beat him again. Then he broke things hysterically and ran away crying.

Zhao Yuan had been standing in the center of the house, with his fists clenched. Then he suddenly hit the wall severely for a while. And finally he ran to Chen Yuanxi’s house in a crazy way.

Zhao Yuan waited downstairs for a long time, but Chen Yuanxi did not come back. Then he sat at the door most of the night. During this period, Shu Xiaoman had been sending messages to him to discuss the affairs of listing on WeChat. Finally, Zhao Yuan had to buy a ticket and went back to City G that night.

At that moment, Chen Yuanxi, who was already drunk, and Zhang Dong were sitting side by side by the river.

Zhang Dong hugged Chen Yuanxi into his arms and covered him with his coat. At last, one did not have nightmares and fell asleep, and the other sat by the river for a night.
