That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1199 The Shadow of the Devil

Hundreds of people in the banquet hall looked at Shi Jichao, with anger and ridicule in their eyes, feeling very relieved.

No matter how high Shi Jichao's level was, he couldn't laugh at this moment. Li Ye called him "shameless" in front of so many people. If he could still swallow it, he would be really shameless.

So he immediately retorted: "Ziqing is certainly very capable at work, but that doesn't mean she can take care of herself."

"Really?"

Li Ye made an exaggerated gesture and pointed at Jie Ruonan who was holding her younger brother in the audience.

"Then we have to talk about this little girl. She is the daughter of Comrade Xie. She came to our first branch factory a year earlier than Section Chief Zhou.

When the father and son came, everyone saw the girl's appearance. Her clothes were messy, her hair was messy, and she didn't like to talk. Of course, how could a grown man like Lao Jie take care of someone?

"But look at the present. Who wouldn't like such a pretty girl? Do you think Chief Zhou has no credit for this?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Xian Ruonan.

Xie Ruonan blushed a little, but still stood up and bowed to everyone around her.

"This kid is really good!"

"That's right! Look at the way he's dressed, he must be a child that is loved by someone."

Li Ye paused for a moment, and then continued, "And I've been to Old Jie's house more than once or twice. The house is very tidy, and her cooking skills are quite good. She works during the day and can take care of the family at night. Do you think she can't take care of herself?"

Seeing that Shi Jichao was trying to find another excuse to refute, Li Ye shouted directly: "If you want to say who in this world has taken care of Zhou Ziqing, it is only her parents. It was her parents who raised the child to adulthood. No one else is qualified to do so."

"."

There was silence for a few seconds, and then everyone started clapping.

If you want to have an argument in public, you must gain the empathy of the majority of people.

Only when you become a parent do you understand how difficult it is to raise a child. Those who came to the banquet were either children or parents. Li Ye’s last words would certainly resonate strongly with everyone.

In contrast, Shi Jichao's so-called "taking care of Zhou Ziqing for seven years" naturally became a joke.

"Shi Jichao was clearly taken care of by Ziqing in the past few years, but now he shamelessly says that he took care of Ziqing. How shameless!"

"You just realized how shameless he is. Let me tell you, after he divorced Ziqing, he actually wanted Ziqing to continue to take care of their family because that vixen didn't know how to take care of the children. She even said that she would not leave home even if they divorced, so that Ziqing could enjoy the love of her mother."

"Fuck, who told you that?"

"That time, Lao Zhou got drunk and cried and said that. We almost strangled that thing to death that night."

"Hey, Ziqing has finally gotten her due. She has her own child and a good job. I heard that she earns four to five thousand a year!"

"Not only that, a few days ago we were drinking with Lao Zhou, and Lao Zhou said that she had a bonus at the end of the year, which added up to more than 7,000 or 8,000 yuan. The couple earned more than 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a year.
What’s more important is that Ziqing is only in her thirties this year, but she is already the head of HR for a large company with 10,000 employees. Her future prospects are limitless.”

"Wow, Lao Zhou is really tight-lipped! He wouldn't tell anyone about such a big thing unless he was drunk."

"No, he wasn't drunk this time, he was just pretending to be drunk to show off."

"It's time to show off. I've been so pissed off in the past few years. Let me show off, too."

"Yes, you should show off. Shi Jichao is regretful. The girl he married now is a fickle woman and not a good person to live with. Hey, hey, hey, look, isn't that the vixen?"

"Where is it? Where is it? Oh my god, it's Lou Xinxia!"

Everyone at the table was an expert at gossiping. After hearing the noise, they all noticed seven or eight people who were walking in angrily from outside. The one in front was a young woman, who should be Shi Jichao's current wife, Lou Xinxia.

"Hiss, it looks like they are here to fight. No, I have to go and help. The people in the Zhou family are all soft-hearted. I think they will suffer."

"Come on! With Director Li here, how can Ziqing suffer any loss? Impossible."

"You're right. Although Deputy Director Li is young, he's a really nice guy. If Shi Jichao knew that this guy was here today, he probably wouldn't have bothered himself."

In a relationship like that between Shi Jichao and Zhou Ziqing, even the police would have trouble intervening, whether they were quarreling or fighting. But unfortunately, they met a fool like Li Ye today, and they really made a wrong calculation.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

The appearance of Lou Xinxia not only alarmed the guests attending the full moon banquet, but also alarmed Shi Jichao.

He had made a wrong calculation when he met Li Ye today, and was thinking about how to fight back! But his current wife suddenly came.

What’s even more terrifying is that the people behind his wife Lou Xinxia were actually Shi Jichao’s colleagues, including Director Liang that Lu Zhizhang had just mentioned.

Shi Jichao quickly walked over to stop Lou Xinxia, ​​and then asked sternly: "Why are you here? Who asked you to come?"

Lou Xinxia said angrily, "How dare you ask me this? Tell me first why you are here? Why are you here to attend a wedding banquet when someone is having a baby? What? Are you trying to rekindle your old love?"

"."

The whole place was silent, everyone looked over, and Zhou Ziqing's father started shaking with anger again. Shi Jichao was scared.

If before coming here today, he was still thinking about making Zhou Ziqing look bad and venting the anger in his heart, now he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Because there was a man named Li Ye at the scene who was even more "sinister" than Shi Jichao, and he had used a lot of "distorted logic" to change the views of everyone at the scene.

Good people are often bullied. Zhou Ziqing's family members were very kind, but they were used to being bullied by Shi Jichao, so he was so arrogant.

But now, instead of laughing at Zhou Ziqing, everyone thinks that Zhou Ziqing is a very outstanding woman with a bright future, and that Shi Jichao is simply out of her league.

And now Lou Xinxia said that Shi Jichao wanted to get back together with Zhou Ziqing. Isn't this a second slap in the face after what Li Ye said?

What's more, someone from his own unit suddenly appeared here. If Li Ye used some sinister tricks again, he would bring shame to his unit.

So Shi Jichao immediately shouted in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get back here right now!"

But Lou Xinxia threw a tantrum on the spot: "Well, you want me to go back? If I go back, you can recognize your father-in-law again? After you married me, you still don't change your words, calling me father-in-law all the time, do you have any shame?"

"."

Shi Jichao only felt his head start to buzz.

When he and Lou Xinxia were passionately in love, she was cute and adorable. But he didn't expect that after she gave birth to a child, not only her figure had changed, but her temper had also changed. She was either jealous or throwing a tantrum.

However, Lou Xinxia gave birth to a son for Shi Jichao, and she used her son to control the whole family, causing chaos at home over the years.

It was at this time that Shi Jichao began to remember the good things about Zhou Ziqing. Otherwise, why would he continue to pester Zhou Ziqing after their divorce? In fact, he was just leaving a way out for himself.

If you really can't get along with Lou Xinxia, ​​then let her go and let Zhou Ziqing come back to be your son's stepmother.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ziqing suddenly announced that she was going to hold a full-month banquet for her son, which shattered Shi Jichao's fantasy. That's why he came here today with a rage to make trouble.

"Woooooo~"

Lou Xinxia suddenly started crying, cursing as she cried: "You are a deputy factory director, can't you be more decisive? You were almost beaten up today, but you still don't change your bad habits. How did she seduce you and make you obsessed with her?"

Shi Jichao was stunned for a moment: "I was almost beaten? When was I beaten?"

Lou Xinxia was also stunned: "Didn't you call Director Liang and tell us that you were about to be beaten to death and asked us to come here quickly?"

At this time, Director Liang, who had been hiding in the back watching the show, said awkwardly: "Someone just called our factory and said that you were beaten here. We were afraid that you would suffer, so we..."

Shi Jichao was stunned for several seconds, and suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Zhizhang, just in time to meet Lu Zhizhang's smiling face.

[Fuck, the barking dog really bites people. This smiling but dagger-hiding guy is even more cruel than Li Ye! ]

At this point, it was impossible for Shi Jichao not to figure out that Lu Zhizhang had just secretly notified their unit and called his wife and Director Liang and others over.

"Who said they were going to hit someone? Who was going to hit someone?"

Li Ye smiled secretly in his heart, but said with an unconvinced look on his face: "Deputy Director Shi, you saw that we have more people and you were afraid that we would bully you, so you called a group of friends to have a fight?"

Shi Jichao's face turned pale with anger, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "Deputy Director Li, I came here with good intentions to celebrate my child's full moon, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this. It's really rude."

"How are we being rude? You haven't sat down since you came in, so I can't even offer you a drink? Come on, let's sit down!"

Li Ye came up and tried to invite Shi Jichao to join him for a drink, but Shi Jichao was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly.

He's already feeling pissed off before he even sits down to drink. If he were to sit down and drink, wouldn't he be drunk to death?

At this time, Lou Xinxia also realized that something was wrong, and said to Li Ye: "Director, our old Shi doesn't drink all kinds of wine, but since he is here today, we have to give our share of money. Sister Zhou took good care of me in the past!"

Lou Xinxia took out five yuan, walked up to Zhou Ziqing, handed her the money and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Sister Zhou. If you had given birth to a child a few years earlier, Old Shi and I wouldn't have been together for a long time! Why couldn't you give birth to a child then?"

Li Ye was immediately shocked.

I didn't expect this woman to be even more disgusting than Shi Jichao.

Seeing that Zhou Ziqing's face turned pale with anger, Li Ye became bolder and immediately came over and said something obscene.

"Then I have to ask you and Deputy Director Shi about this matter. Sister Zhou is definitely able to give birth, so who was the problem in the first place?"

"."

After a few seconds of silence, the scene suddenly exploded.

Zhou Ziqing also looked at Li Ye in shock. Her perception of Li Ye seemed to be completely overturned in an instant.

Although Li Ye used to be ferocious, he was upright. He would first reason with others and then use his fists, and he always believed in convincing people with reason.

But now looking at the hideous smile on Li Ye's lips, it seemed to have a bit of the "shadow of the devil" mentioned in the novel.
