Xu Tingyu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. For a moment, she stood there dumbfounded, unable to utter a single word.
Qi Ye quickly let go of her, stood beside her, and then turned to look at Qi Shifeng.
"Shifeng, you've seen and heard it all. We're deeply in love. All these years, it's just been a series of misunderstandings."
"This extreme measure was taken out of desperation. We never really meant to take your life. It must be a mistake during the execution by those people."
"Since you're here, it's just right. Let's sit down and have a good talk. You can discuss whatever compensation you want."
"If you can attend our wedding at the end of the month, it'll also put an end to the rumors outside about the rift between us brothers."
Qi Ye looked calm and composed. There was even a smile on his face as he said these words. With a simple phrase "a mistake," he completely shirked his responsibility.
It was as if he hadn't really intended to kill Qi Shifeng before, but just wanted to play a joke on him.
Xu Tingyu had been shocked by his shamelessness more than once, but this time, it seemed that she had also been dragged into his camp.
This made her angry and disgusted.
Just as she was about to speak, Qi Ye said indifferently again, "However, I won't let you see Youyou. It's a good thing for the child to forget you while she's still young."
As he said this, his eyes casually swept across Xu Tingyu's face.
She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Once again, he was using Youyou as a threat.
But she had no choice but to accept it.
Because if Qi Shifeng had lost his memory, Youyou's life and death were completely in Qi Ye's hands.
She tried her best to calm herself down and just looked at Qi Shifeng.
She didn't know what kind of expression to put on. Should it be sadness or should she cooperate with Qi Ye and show pride?
So she had to suppress all her emotions, like a doll whose soul had been taken away, just standing there blankly.
Qi Shifeng, who had been silent since just now, suddenly spoke up, "We can talk, but she's injured. Let's bandage her first."
Following this sentence, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Tingyu's hand.
She herself hadn't even noticed that when she smashed the window just now, due to excessive force, she had indeed got quite a few wounds on her hand.
Especially the tip of her index finger, which had been cut by something and was bleeding.
Because the wounds weren't very obvious, no one else had noticed.
Qi Ye's face immediately changed. He first glanced at Qi Shifeng warily, and then lowered his head to look at Xu Tingyu's hand.
The words he said were also full of sarcasm.
"Shifeng really has sharp eyes. He can see clearly even from such a distance. But then again, it makes me, the current boyfriend, seem a bit careless."
As he said this, he was about to reach for Xu Tingyu's hand.
But Xu Tingyu had regained her senses and avoided his outstretched hand. "It's okay. It doesn't hurt. Let's talk about business first."
Qi Shifeng's concern was real, but his cold eyes didn't seem to be fake either.
Compared to the pain in her heart, the pain in her finger was nothing.
Because of her avoidance, Qi Ye's face turned even paler.
But if he made a scene at this time, it would only be more embarrassing. So he smiled faintly and called Zhang Wan. "Take the wife to get bandaged."
He had been calling her "Miss Xu" before, but now in front of Qi Shifeng, he changed it to "wife." His intentions were self - evident.
Zhang Wan immediately walked over and supported Xu Tingyu's arm. "Wife, please come with me."
"I've said I don't need to be bandaged. Let's talk about business first."
Xu Tingyu still shook off the other person's touch and emphasized again with a pale face.
The atmosphere suddenly became even more oppressive.
Finally, it was Qi Ye who spoke first. "Fine. Let's go to the study first."
A group of people changed their "battlefield," but in the end, only Xu Tingyu, Qi Shifeng, and Qi Ye entered the study.
"Shifeng, it's actually good that you came. Sign the divorce application first."
As soon as they entered, Qi Ye first took two contracts from the cabinet.
No one knew how many copies of this divorce application had been sent to Qi Shifeng's side. But before he lost his memory, he had never given in and insisted on seeing Xu Tingyu first.
Who would have thought that fate was so cruel? Now he had seen her, but he couldn't remember.
Qi Shifeng glanced at the contract that was pushed over. "Qi Ye, aren't you going to explain?"
Qi Ye's movement paused for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on his face. "Explain what? Didn't you hear everything just now? Do I still need to explain?"
"You mean that you two knew each other and fell in love first, but she still had you in her heart, then married me and had a child with me. Is that right?"
Qi Shifeng was talking to Qi Ye, but his eyes were always on Xu Tingyu.
"You can understand it this way. If you don't believe me, I can also take you to see the photo wall that testifies to our relationship."
Qi Ye was very confident in this matter.
In fact, even if Qi Shifeng hadn't lost his memory, he would still have planted this thorn in his heart.
Because the fact was that he had met Xu Tingyu first, and the two of them had once strolled on the romantic streets.
"Your marriage was forced by the elders of the two families. It's just that we were not strong enough at that time and didn't dare to go against our families."
"Now, both you and I have the ability, and the old man is old. So it's time to let everything return to its original position."
He spoke with a faint smile, looking very self - assured and justifiable.
"The original position?" Qi Shifeng repeated with a cold smile and then looked at Xu Tingyu again. "Do you think so too?"
His attitude was so cold that when Xu Tingyu met his gaze, she felt cold all over.
But Qi Ye didn't give her a chance to speak at all. He directly said, "Of course. Our opinions are of course the same."
Qi Shifeng's emotions were quite stable. He looked at Qi Ye mockingly.
"But I want to hear her say it. Qi Ye, even if I've lost my memory, legally, we're still husband and wife."
"And you, whether from a legal or moral perspective, are a home - wrecker. At this time, when does a home - wrecker have the right to speak?"
He emphasized the word "home - wrecker" heavily.
Xu Tingyu, who had been very nervous all the time, for some reason, suddenly felt like laughing.
Even after losing his memory, Qi Shifeng was still sharp - tongued and domineering.
That was good. At least it showed that he hadn't been defeated by the statements in the news.
Qi Ye was not convinced.
The man's competitiveness reached its peak at this moment.
"To be precise, I'm not the home - wrecker. You're the latecomer, so you're the home - wrecker."
However, Qi Shifeng still sneered. "Really? But I have a marriage certificate. Is this what you call the latecomer surpassing the former?"
Qi Ye was extremely angry.
He had originally suspected whether Qi Shifeng had really lost his memory. But now, after hearing his words, he no longer doubted.
This was Qi Shifeng's character. He never concealed his possessiveness towards the things he had marked.
"Shifeng, I invited you in not to listen to your sarcasm. Since you want to talk, then speak properly."
