Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation
Chapter 89 Cold Violence
"Zixuan, I have good news for you! Those scammers have been convicted! Most of the money they cheated from you has been recovered, and they will be deported after they finish serving their sentences!" This news of mine gave the depressed Rong Zixuan a little comfort, and a smile finally appeared on his face that had been frowning for many days.
"real!"
"Why did I lie to you!"
"That's great!" Rong Zixuan excitedly hugged me and spun around.
"Put me down! I'm dizzy!"
After Rong Zixuan put me down, I was still a little dizzy and couldn't walk steadily, so I fell on the sofa.
"That's so satisfying! Let's go out and play tomorrow! We haven't been out together for a long time!"
"Okay! Oops! No, I almost forgot something!"
"What's going on? Leave it for now, let's go out and play!"
"Have you forgotten? Professor Rodrigo's daughter is getting married tomorrow! We already promised her, we can't go back on our word!"
"Oh, that's right! I almost forgot about it! I even vowed to go! So we'll have to put our travel plans on hold for now!"
We put our family's travel plans on hold and dressed up to attend the wedding of Professor Rodrigo's daughter the next day. Professor Rodrigo's daughter Mary and her husband Gary were a perfect match. One was a nurse and the other a doctor, and it was said that they fell in love over time.
I attended an authentic foreign wedding and was deeply moved by the open and unabashed love. The couple shared their courtship story and touching moments in front of all their friends and family, bringing tears to my eyes. Their families and friends also exchanged words, wishing the couple a happy marriage. The atmosphere was relaxed and joyful, with everyone singing and dancing, chatting and making new friends.
Rong Zixuan and I were dancing when a couple came over to say hello. I recognized them as Mr. Los, Zero's vice president.
"Hello!" Los shook hands warmly. Rong Zixuan and I shook hands with him and his wife in turn.
"Is this your husband?" Los asked Rong Zixuan.
"Yes, this is my husband Rong Zixuan."
"You have an excellent wife! So excellent that I'm a little jealous! I've always wanted to see what Wei Qing's husband would be like, and today I saw that he's very handsome!"
Rong Zixuan smiled awkwardly.
"Los, are you also good friends with Professor Rodrigo?" Seeing that Rong Zixuan didn't respond, I quickly found a topic to resolve the situation.
"No, I'm good friends with the groom Gary's father! Old Gary is my ophthalmologist, and he's an excellent doctor! His son, Gary Jr., has inherited his legacy and is also very good!"
"Then it seems that the Gary family is all very talented! The training of doctors is very rigorous!"
"Hahaha! Of course! Then what does your husband do?" Los looked at Rong Zixuan.
"I started my own business!" This time Rong Zixuan took the initiative to answer his question.
"What's your name and what do you do?"
"It's called Xuanming Technology," Rong Zixuan said guiltily.
"Oh my! So that company is yours!" At this time, a bearded man came over.
"Who are you?" I looked at him puzzled.
"My name is Paul. I'm a judge. I'm the one who handled the Xuanming Technology fraud case," the bearded man said kindly.
"I've heard about that case too. The amount involved is huge," said Los' wife.
"My wife, Jo, is an accountant and likes to read financial news," Los explained. "But how could someone as smart as you be fooled?" Los looked at me with a smile again.
"No! It was her husband who was deceived, not her!" Paul said from the side.
"I thought, you are so smart, who can cheat you! It's already very good that you don't cheat others! Hahahaha!" Luoyang Si laughed heartily, but Rong Zixuan's face was ashen.
"It doesn't matter. This matter has passed and the liar has received the punishment he deserved. We don't need to discuss it so much!" I tried to change the subject so that Rong Zixuan would not be so embarrassed.
"The amount of money involved this time is huge. It's the first time I've encountered such a huge amount in all my years as a judge! You should be more careful about your husband. He looks honest, and scammers like to cheat people like him!" Paul continued.
"My husband is an excellent IT engineer. He is usually very cautious. It was mainly because of a traitor who betrayed him this time, and the insiders and outsiders colluded with each other, so he was deceived. Moreover, the scammer's tricks are very sophisticated. If it were me, I can't guarantee that I won't be deceived!" I tried to rescue Rong Zixuan.
But the foreigners clearly didn't notice Rong Zixuan's expression. The more they talked, the darker his face became. Rong Zixuan made an excuse to leave first, and I followed suit. When we got home, Rong Zixuan's face was still very heavy, and he didn't say a word.
"What's wrong? Are you angry?" I hugged his shoulders and comforted him.
"Can you be happy if others say you are incompetent and stupid in front of you?" Rong Zixuan said angrily.
"That's not what they meant! Foreigners tend to speak more directly, and this isn't your first day dealing with them."
"But I'm just very unhappy!" Rong Zixuan's face was as puffy as a pufferfish.
“Don’t be angry…”
I was just about to say something to comfort him, but he shook my hand away forcefully, "You don't need to comfort me! You are a star and the focus wherever you go. I don't want to go out with you anymore!" After that, he got up and went upstairs.
I was confused. I was clearly trying to comfort him, so how could I have angered him? Did I say something wrong? However, since he was just angry at a few foreigners, I just assumed he was angry, so I didn't argue with him or take it to heart.
Before bed, I tried to check on him to see if he'd calmed down, but he completely resisted my touch. The next morning, he left without saying a word, and when he came back, he didn't speak to me either. His attitude towards me remained cold for the next few days. I approached him, but he ignored me. I couldn't stand this cold shoulder anymore, and I finally lost my temper.
"Rong Zixuan! Please stop using the cold shoulder! If you're unhappy about something, just tell me. It's better for us to have a fight than for you to use the cold shoulder! Only communication can solve problems. How can I know what's wrong with me if you don't say anything?"
But Rong Zixuan only glanced at me and left the room, ignoring my request. If hard tactics didn't work, I'd try soft tactics. I found an opportunity and brought the egg yolk pastry Auntie had made to him.
"Zixuan, look! Freshly baked egg yolk pastries! Want to try one?" Rong Zixuan simply glanced at me before getting up and leaving. The days that followed were the same. Whether I raged at him or flirted with him, he ignored me. He refused to communicate, and I had no idea what he was thinking, nor could I resolve his issues. Over time, I gradually grew accustomed to this kind of life.
