My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 583: Is the Pattern Too Small?

"Well, well, isn’t this Yang Qi, the best student in our class? How have you fallen so far that you’re sitting at a small table? Is no one showing you any respect?" Miao Yue said sarcastically. "You all are really something. Our class whiz finally attends a reunion, and you still bully him!"

"Yueyue, don’t bother with him. Come sit over here by Brother Liao. You remember Liao Fusheng, don’t you?" Qin Shuang walked over, pulled Miao Yue by the hand, and sat her down next to Liao Fusheng. "Brother Liao is a big shot now, running a major business in Sea City. He’s second only to Brother Tao and Sister Xue from our class."

"Brother Liao, I actually had a crush on you back in college!" To get money, Miao Yue truly had no shame. In college, she first liked Yang Qi, but after he rejected her, she got together with Chen Chong. When had she ever liked Liao Fusheng? She spouts these lies without even thinking them through.

"Get lost!" Liao Fusheng violently shook her arm off. "I don’t know you. You’re a pretty woman, but you have no integrity. Don’t think I’m clueless. You were the one who indirectly recommended Li Qiutong to Yang Qi, weren’t you? And just as I thought, trouble followed."

Miao Yue was mortified. Her attempt to curry favor had completely backfired.

Yang Qi was stunned. He genuinely didn’t know that Li Qiutong had any connection to this Miao Yue. He had assumed Jiang Shan was the one who introduced them.

"Little Qi, this is my fault," Liao Fusheng sighed. "Back then, Miao Yue wanted revenge on you, so she found this Li Qiutong and introduced her to you. I investigated Li Qiutong later and discovered she seemed to be connected to a nefarious Sect. Unfortunately, by then you were already deeply in love and had married her, so I didn’t think it was right for me to ruin your marriage. If I had known what would happen later, I really should have told you. I deeply regret it."

"It’s not your fault. Perhaps it was a tribulation I was fated to face," Yang Qi said with a smile. The past was in the past, and Li Qiutong had already paid the price she deserved. He couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it. However, he wasn’t going to let this matter with Miao Yue slide so easily.

"Miao Yue, I never thought you could be so malicious," Yang Qi said, giving her a cold glance. "Your life is over!"

"Yang Qi, you good-for-nothing! Your woman ran off, and you’re blaming Miao Yue for it? You’re pathetic," Qin Shuang cursed. "All you know how to do is threaten women! You fail at everything you try. Your company went bankrupt, and your woman ran off with another man. Why don’t you just go die? You have no shame at all. Your parents should be disgraced to have a child like you! Oh, I almost forgot, you’re an orphan with no mother or father!"

A murderous glint flashed in Yang Qi’s eyes. "Qin Shuang, I thought since we were classmates, I could just ignore your vicious words like they were farts. But you should not have insulted my parents! Even though my parents aren’t with me, I firmly believe they had a special reason. Besides, if it weren’t for them, I would have died long ago! The real disgrace to their parents is a wretch like you!"

Qin Shuang was a shrew to begin with, and hearing Yang Qi insult her sent her into a fury. "You dare curse me? Believe it or not, I can find someone to kill you! A bankrupt loser, a cuckolded orphan... your very presence here disgusts everyone and brings us all shame! If I were you, I would’ve smashed my head against a wall and died long ago!"

SLAP!

Before she could finish, Liao Fusheng slapped her squarely across the face. "Bitch, did you think I wouldn’t dare hit you? Who gave you the right to bully my brother? So what if he went bankrupt? He’s still a hundred times better than a whore like you who sells her body! So what if his wife left him? Big deal, he’ll find someone better. Six-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged women are a dime a dozen! Say one more word like that, and believe it or not, I’ll beat you to death right now!"

Seeing Liao Fusheng act this way, Yang Qi was reminded of their college days, when Liao Fusheng had protected him just like this.

Chen Chong frowned and quickly interjected, "Qin Shuang, would it kill you to say a little less? Yang Qi is miserable enough, and you’re just piling on! Brother Liao, you shouldn’t be angry either. You know how Qin Shuang is; she just speaks her mind without a filter. Besides, Yang Qi isn’t entirely in the right here, either! He shouldn’t have hidden his situation from us. Life is so tough; if he had told us, we all could have helped out."

Yang Qi sneered. This Chen Chong is such a hypocrite, willing to sell out Qin Shuang just to get on Liao Fusheng’s good side. The things he said earlier were no less nasty than Qin Shuang’s words.

"Heh, find another woman? A down-and-out loser like him?" Miao Yue scoffed. "If you’re so capable, bring your girlfriend here for all of us to see."

The crowd chuckled. Yang Qi had offended these two women, and now he was really going to suffer for it.

Yang Qi gave Miao Yue a cool look. "Bring my girlfriend here? I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to show your face in public afterward."

Chen Chong sighed. "Yang Qi, I know you’re in a tough spot, but there’s no need to boast. We all know your situation! You couldn’t even get a girlfriend in college. What Miao Yue said wasn’t wrong, so why get so angry? You need to have some perspective!"

"Right, right, you need to have perspective!" others chimed in.

"Exactly. No wonder he went bankrupt and his woman ran off with another man. He has no perspective."

"Yang Qi, you got good grades, but you’re just too small-minded and petty. Forget about not having a girlfriend—even if you did, she’d probably leave you for someone else, and you’d get cuckolded all over again!"

"Hahaha..."

The entire crowd turned on Yang Qi, mocking him relentlessly. They all wanted to suck up to Chen Chong, so naturally, none of them would side with Yang Qi.

BANG!

Liao Fusheng slammed his hand on the table and roared, "To hell with your perspective! If I slapped every one of you, would you just smile and take it? Is that what you call perspective? You’re all a bunch of bastards! You’ve only been out in the real world for a few years, and you’ve already picked up these disgusting habits! Sucking up to the powerful and trampling on the weak... it’s sickening to watch!"

He stood up and walked over to Yang Qi’s side. "Little Qi, let’s go. This crappy reunion isn’t worth attending anyway."

Miao Yue continued her taunts. "Liao Fusheng, you’re wrong to say that. What did we say that was untrue? We can’t even speak the truth these days? A bankrupt loser dares to show up at this reunion? Young Master Chen never invited him. He’s just here to humiliate himself."

Chen Chong frowned. Has Miao Yue lost her mind?

Miao Yue pressed on, "Young Master Chen, why do you even care about Liao Fusheng? The ones we need to impress are Brother Tao and Sister Xue. Are you really taking these old college ties so seriously? I bet Brother Tao and Sister Xue don’t even remember them. Let them leave!"

Chen Chong thought about it and had to agree. With Liao Fusheng’s temper, keeping him around could backfire. It might be better to just let him go.
