Chapter 1346 A Man’s Responsibility and Dignity

Fortunately, Zai An arrived in time and his lawyer bailed Qi Yao out. As for Qi Yao's beating by the police, the police explained it as a necessary auxiliary measure during the trial.

This incident attracted widespread attention from the society at that time. In the following one or two months, Qi Yao was summoned by the court several times. However, when the evidence that reported Qi Yao was presented in court for notarization, it was full of errors and omissions. In short, the results of rounds of trials were that Qi Yao had nothing to do with the incident and that he was not involved in the illegal black market transactions.

Seventeen only found out after the incident was over that it was the last time Qi Yao went. Seventeen was waiting outside when Qi Yao came out.

Qi Yao stood on the steps and looked at Shiqi, who was looking at him from the bottom of the steps with a smile on his face.

Qi Yao sighed heavily, walked down the stairs with extremely heavy steps, and stood in front of Shiqi, his face full of shame.

"I'm sorry for making you worry." Qi Yao's eyes softened, he was too embarrassed to see his relatives again.

I did something and tried to hide it with a fluke mentality, thinking that no one would find out. Little did I know that one day of happiness will be followed by another of suffering. If I had persisted a little longer, even if I had borrowed more, I would not have lost my reputation.

He had made a mistake, and now his entire family was worried about him, and everyone was forced to follow him in deceiving the public. The remorse he endured alone was enough, but now he was dragging his entire family down with him, and even asking others to help him make false testimony. Watching the defense lawyer's persuasive arguments in court, he felt not only a sense of relief, but also regret.

Seventeen smiled and touched Qi Yao's face.

"Don't be like this, we are husband and wife." Seventeen's eyes were full of heartache as he looked at Qi Yao, "Is it true that no matter how much a man loves a woman, he will never tell her about his hardships and difficulties?"

If he had told the truth, and not lied to her, how could she have insisted on buying that house in the first place? The furniture was all high-end custom-made, not to mention the decoration. She said he could use her money, but he took it all on himself.

But he said that this was the man's responsibility. Since ancient times, when a woman married, her daily life should be taken care of by her husband's family. A capable man would not let a woman worry about accommodation and livelihood. A man with dignity would not ask a woman for a penny.

Seventeen knew that although Qi Yao had a gentle personality, he was actually stubborn. If he could really afford it, she would certainly not offend him.

She had originally planned to make up for the money he had to pay for the house and furniture if he couldn't, but he had already paid it. How he had raised the money, she really didn't know.

Qi Yao smiled bitterly, raised his hand to tuck the hair by Shiqi's ear, and after a long moment, he looked up at the pale sky and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Seventeen looked at Qi Yao's bitter face. He should be happy that he was okay, but he kept frowning.

"Qi Yao." Seventeen called softly.

Qi Yao took two steps, turned sideways to look at Shiqi, and suddenly slowly let go of her hand. His eyes were a little red, and the two of them looked at each other.

Seventeen walked towards Qi Yao, looked at him distressedly, and asked softly, "Don't you have anything to tell me?"

Qi Yao lowered his eyes. What was he saying? He was making money through dishonest means. He was asking him to know that he was indeed involved in black market transactions? He was asking him to perform illegal surgeries? He was asking him to say that all the testimony and evidence in court were false, fabricated by someone he had asked? He was asking him to say that the judge was so obviously biased in her favor because of the "favor" requested by Mr. Zhuang San?

"Yes, I am a dark person, I am not upright..." Qi Yao's voice was low and hard to understand, with a heavy and turbid breath, and the words he uttered seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"That's not it!" Seventeen interrupted angrily, looking at Qi Yao.

Seventeen bit her lip, "You know what? You disappoint me so much, so much!"

She thought they were honest with each other, and Zhou Haoyu had lied to her out of betrayal. Why would he lie to her here with Qi Yao? Why would he do such a thing instead of telling her about his difficulties? Why did he have to hold on?

"There is one thing about you that makes me really, really dislike you, really, really hate you! You're just like Zhou Haoyu, just like him!" Seventeen's voice was choked with sobs as he raised his hand to wipe away his tears, trying to calm the sudden sadness.

It was probably because I thought about those deceptive lies that I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yao's eyes dimmed and his face darkened suddenly, like a layer of frost on the snow in early winter, revealing endless sadness and heartbreaking sorrow.

Seventeen calmed himself down so that he could finish his sentence.

"Zhou Haoyu is just like you. Even after we got married, we kept things very separate. He didn't bother telling me about his business, his company, his difficulties, and he didn't bother asking my dad for help. Haha... But he was so disdainful yet he accepted it. Isn't that like getting something for nothing? I really don't understand why you're like this! If we weren't married, you wouldn't have to tell me anything you did, your difficulties, or anything about you. But aren't we married? Why are you so disdainful of my things? Is it because I'm embarrassed to spend my parents' money?"

Qi Yao remained silent. It wasn't a question of money, it was simply a man's responsibility and dignity.

Ultimately, if a man cannot even meet his basic needs in life, it means he is incompetent.

Qi Yao suddenly turned around and left. Shiqi quickly followed him, reached out to hold Qi Yao's hand, and burst into tears.

"I hate you being so silent. Are you going to leave like this?"

Qi Yao took a long breath and said after a long while, "If you ask for a divorce, I agree."

He made a mistake first, and he didn't expect this to happen when he did it, but now...

This proud man had always lived on thin ice, knowing how much attention and stares he had received, and how hard it had been. Now he was dragging his entire family down with him, and he wasn't just navigating this himself.

The whole family is busy with his affairs, bearing false witness for him, and bearing the condemnation of conscience for him. What virtue and ability does he have?

I don't ask for his career to be at its peak, but at least he can't make any mistakes. But today...

I no longer have the face to face anyone, let alone be worthy of being the wife of truth, goodness and beauty.

Seventeen was stunned when he heard this. He stood there for a long time without reacting. What did he mean?

"You mean, you want to get a divorce because of this?" Seventeen ran in front of Qi Yao, looked at him in disbelief and asked again.

"I'm not worthy of you..."

Before he could finish his words, Seventeen raised his hand and slapped Qi Yao hard in the face. "How can you say such things? Are you still a man? You're going to get a divorce? Do you have any sense of responsibility?"

After Seventeen finished crying and yelling, he rushed towards Qi Yao and hugged him tightly.
