Chapter 48: Biting
Hua Jingjing and I argued for a few words and then fell into silence again.
Hua Jingjing ignored me out of spite, but I was just thinking about something that was very confusing and needed to calm down and sort it out. I suddenly wanted to smoke, so I touched my pocket and remembered that I had already finished the pack of cigarettes from outside. My own pack, along with the clothes I was wearing, was thrown into the trunk of the car.
I realized that it was time to return the clothes I was wearing, which were worth more than 200,000 yuan, to Hua Jingjing. Wearing such expensive things, I had to worry all the time that if they got a hole, I wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it.
I said to the driver, "Master Axi, could you please get out of the car and open the rear hood? I need to get something." Axi was about to nod in agreement when Hua Jingjing realized what I was going to do and immediately said, "Axi, don't open the hood. Just sit there and don't move."
I had no choice but to say, "Boss Hua, I want to wear my own clothes again. Although the high-end clothes you bought are scary expensive, they are not as comfortable as my old clothes. Besides, the party is over, and I don't need to wear these brand-name clothes just to save face. I'd better return them all to you. Otherwise, if they get torn , I can't afford to pay for it!"
Hua Jingjing snorted and said, "Do you really think I want you to return these things? Don't you think about it? All these clothes were bought according to your size. Who else in the world can wear them except you? What use would I have if you return these to me? I don't want them anymore, so you keep them!"
I got angry when I heard that and said, "Didn't we agree on this? These clothes were not bought for me. They were used by you and your classmate to show off your wealth to your boyfriend. And you promised me that I would return all of them to you, so I agreed to wear these things. How come you are going to cancel everything right after the incident?"
Hua Jingjing had nothing to say. She did say those words, and she couldn't deny it. She could only say angrily, "Okay, okay, if you want to return it, then go ahead. Anyway, things I don't need are garbage. Ah Xi, throw all the clothes that Mr. Tang takes off into the trash can. Don't keep any of them."
Ah Xi seemed to be a very smart man. He had long seen that his lady was quarreling with her lover and that what she said was just angry words and could not be taken seriously. So he kept silent and pretended not to hear anything. He just agreed to whatever the lady told him to do, but never thought about really doing it.
I didn't know, and asked in shock and incomprehension, "Throw it away? You threw away clothes worth more than 200,000 yuan after only wearing them once? What a shameful waste! With your behavior, even if you become the chairman of the board in the future, you will eventually squander the Hua family's assets."
Hua Jingjing said angrily, "Waste? I can't wear these clothes. What's the difference between throwing them at home and throwing them in the trash? What right do you have to say that I'm a spendthrift? I... I hate it most when people say I'm a spendthrift. No matter what, I want you to take back what you said, otherwise I won't return those clothes to you. Let's see if you want to wear the clothes I bought for you home."
This... woman! She was so unreasonable that it was beyond common sense. I said with a smile, "Aren't you a spendthrift? You bought so many things in the hospital, but you only used a few of them? Most of them were thrown away, right? For your inexplicable vindictiveness, you spent a huge amount of money to buy these famous brands. Before I bought them, I told you that I didn't want them and I would return them all to you. But you still bought them. Spending so much money on such a boring thing, isn't it a waste?"
Hua Jingjing's face turned blue and red after hearing this. She couldn't hold back her pride anymore and gritted her teeth and said, "You still want to say more? You... I hate you so much. Believe it or not, if you make me angry, I will... I will bite you!"
I was stunned for a moment. Although Hua Jingjing and I were always quarreling, and Hua Jingjing had said all kinds of harsh words when I made her angry, she had never used the word "bite you". In my opinion, only couples or lovers who were quarreling would use this word, right?
I subconsciously asked, "Bite? Can you?"
Hua Jingjing grabbed my hand on impulse and bit it. I felt a sharp pain on the back of my hand. I was not prepared for her to bite me. By the time I reacted, it was too late. I quickly pulled my hand out of her mouth. I saw streams of blood oozing out from the broken skin. I was shocked and angry. I didn't expect that this lawless rich girl would actually bite people, and she bit so hard that blood came out. I was so angry that I shouted, "What's wrong with you? You really bite people? I really... I have never seen a woman like you!"
Hua Jingjing was also impulsive and didn't consider the consequences. When she saw the blood on the back of my hand, she was also terrified. Her face turned pale and she couldn't speak. At this moment, the blood from the wound on my hand has dripped into the car along my fingertips. It seems that the wound is not shallow. I am afraid that it will not be good if I don't treat it. Fortunately, I don't know if it is God's will, I am now at the gate of the People's Hospital, as if I knew that I would be injured.
I cursed again, "I'm unlucky to meet a vicious woman like you! Starting tomorrow, you should find a secretary and don't count on me." Then I opened the door and ran straight to the emergency room of the hospital.
Hua Jingjing got out of the car without saying a word and ran after me. I covered my wound, turned around suddenly, and still shouted: "Why are you following me? Stay away from me, I'm afraid of you, okay?"
Hua Jingjing looked apologetic, but her eyes revealed a sense of pride. She still let me scold her without saying a word, and she refused to leave no matter how I drove her away, insisting on following me. The blood on the back of my hand was flowing more and more, and I had no time to talk to her anymore.
In the emergency room, the nurse applied hemostatic medicine on me and tied it tightly with gauze. But the back of my hand still felt pain, which made me hate Hua Jingjing following me so much that I ignored her. After the bandage was completed, while the nurse was packing up the tools, I saw Hua Jingjing gently pulling the corner of my clothes in fear and trepidation like a child who had done something wrong. Her big, blinking eyes seemed to have something to say. I said unhappily, "What's the matter? Please don't bother me, okay!"
Hua Jingjing stretched out her right hand, and placed her white and tender little hand in front of me. I said, "Are you annoying? What do you want to do?" Hua Jingjing finally spoke, "I'll let you take a bite too, bite hard, it's okay, this way we're fair."
I sneered and said, "I'm not a dog. I won't bite anyone."
Hua Jingjing sneered and said, "You're so annoying. You called me a dog again. I'm sorry. I lost control because of what you said just now. I didn't expect to bite you so hard and make you bleed. But I really didn't mean it. If you feel you must get back at me, I'm here. It doesn't matter how you retaliate. As long as you feel better, don't resign, okay?"
I had completely lost my patience with her and no longer took her words seriously. I said seriously, "Hua Jingjing, even if you didn't bite me tonight, I would have resigned. These are two different things. To be honest, I have begun to stop hating you in the past two days. Although you used Cheng Jia to threaten me to do something I didn't want to do, I can feel that you no longer hate me as much as you did in the first two days when we met, and you treat me much better than before. My resignation has nothing to do with you. I have other reasons, and I have made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore."
Seeing that I was so determined and there was no room for negotiation, Hua Jingjing was so anxious that she kept rubbing her hands and said, "Why don't you think about it carefully again? You can show your skills in the company and fully display your talents, but if you go out on your own, what's the use of all the knowledge you have learned?"
I felt that I had made it clear enough and there was no need to repeat it. I walked out of the hospital and Hua Jingjing had to follow me. When we got to the Bentley, I turned around and said to Hua Jingjing, "Ask Master Xi to open the trunk. I'll change my clothes and go home by myself. You don't have to send me off. I'd better come to the company tomorrow because I have some personal belongings that I need to take with me."
Hua Jingjing was anxious, but she had no idea what to do. She wanted to threaten Tang Qian again, saying, "If you dare to resign, I will fire Cheng Jia too!" But she knew that if she did that, she might be able to keep Tang Qian, but the price would be that Tang Qian would look down on her for the rest of his life, which was not worth it. She also wanted to say, "Tang Qian! For my sake, stay!" But the timing, atmosphere, and location were not right, and saying that might backfire and make him more determined to leave!
Hua Jingjing was really worried and anxious. When she saw Tang Qian's firm and resolute eyes, she knew that it was impossible to keep him.
Hua Jingjing finally asked Ah Xi to come out and open the box lid helplessly. I took out my clothes and changed them in the car. Then I folded the brand-name clothes neatly one by one. After getting off the car, I solemnly handed the watch worth nearly five million back to Hua Jingjing, and then some small things such as lighters, all of which were handed over to Hua Jingjing. Hua Jingjing took them listlessly and did not check them carefully at all. Finally, I lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
Ah! So satisfying! The foreign cigarettes have a weird and choking taste, are extremely expensive but not good to smoke at all, really not as good as my own domestic cigarettes that cost ten yuan a pack, which are more comfortable to smoke.
I said goodbye to Hua Jingjing, and she hummed and said, "Come to the company tomorrow and talk about it. I hope you can change your mind."
I thanked the driver, Ah Xi, and then walked towards my home while smoking a cigarette. I remembered that I promised Qiu Jieqin that I would report the process to her, so I took out my cell phone and dialed her number.
The phone was ringing, but no one answered. At that moment, I really wanted to hear her voice immediately. For me, Qiu Jieqin was my safe haven. Tonight, I was first suspected by the big star Xu Shu for no reason, and was insulted with money. Then Hua Jingjing bit the back of my hand maliciously, and it still hurts. It can be said that I was hurt physically and mentally. Although as a man, this little hurt is nothing, I am very tired, my spirit is very tired, and I need warmth and comfort. Qiu Jieqin is my only harbor. She has everything I need.
"Hello!" The phone finally got through. "I was in the shower just now, halfway through, so I didn't hear it. What's going on? Is the party over?"
"it's over!"
"Is it interesting? Who wins, that woman's boyfriend or you?"
"It was so boring. It was a terrible night."
"From your tone, it sounds like you had a bad night?"
"Jie Qin, I really want to see you now, can I come over?"
"Of course! What's wrong with you?"
"Wait for me! I'll be there soon!"
