Chapter 354 Qin Jingru’s Suspicion (2)
Qin Jingru was a little scared by his look, but she still plucked up her courage and tried to break free from Xu Damao's restraints.
However, Xu Damao did not give Qin Jingru a chance to continue questioning. He pulled her hand hard and held it tightly in his palm, so hard that she almost cried out in pain.
He widened his eyes, and there was a fierce light flashing in his pupils, as if he wanted to swallow Qin Jingru whole. The corners of his mouth curled up into a hideous smile, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twisted unnaturally, revealing his inner anger and dissatisfaction.
He approached Qin Jingru and said in a low and cold voice: "Qin Huairu, remember this, don't mention this matter again. This is our secret. If you dare to leak even a word, I guarantee that you will not end well."
His words were full of threats and intimidation, and every word cut into Qin Jingru's heart like a cold blade. She felt a surge of fear rising from the bottom of her heart, and her body trembled involuntarily.
After Xu Damao finished speaking, he suddenly let go of his hand. Qin Jingru seemed to be liberated. She quickly broke free from Xu Damao's restraints, stepped back a few steps, and kept a certain distance from him. She was panting, with fear and anxiety written all over her face.
Just now, she said the wrong thing and almost said that thing out loud. Now thinking back, Qin Jingru felt a little scared. She knew that she should not anger Xu Damao again, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Xu Damao's anger subsided a little when he saw Qin Jingru's frightened look. He didn't want to make things too awkward, after all, they still had common interests to protect.
So Xu Damao took a deep breath and calmed down his inner anger. He tried to make his expression look calm and sincere.
He turned his head and looked directly into Qin Jingru's eyes, trying to make his tone sound gentler: "What's going on with you today? Don't you know why I went to the He family?"
Qin Jingru was a little scared at first, but when she heard what Xu Damao said, the grievance in her heart immediately surged up. She raised her head, her eyes slightly red, and her voice trembled a little:
"What should I know? Every time you go to the He family, you have ulterior motives. You either want to plot against him or you want to meet that vixen Yu Haitang."
When Xu Damao heard this, he frowned and showed a hint of displeasure on his face. But he quickly controlled his emotions and patiently explained to Qin Jingru:
"What are you thinking? Yu Haitang hasn't married yet, why should I go to see her? I went to the He family to help sincerely. I want He Yuzhu to get married as soon as possible so that I can carry out my opportunities normally."
Qin Jingru was slightly stunned after hearing Xu Damao's explanation, and seemed to be a little overwhelmed by his words. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and a trace of confusion and embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and her voice became weaker:
"Really...really? I heard from my sister..." Qin Jingru was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized that she had let the cat out of the bag. She suddenly covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of regret.
Xu Damao noticed her reaction and his heart tightened. He knew that Qin Jingru might have heard something, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Xu Damao took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calmer: "Jingru, did you hear anything? Did someone say something to you?" He stared into Qin Jingru's eyes, trying to see something from her expression.
Qin Jingru felt a little guilty when Xu Damao looked at her. She lowered her head and dared not look directly into his eyes. After a while, she mustered up the courage and whispered:
"My sister said...she said you must have some shameful thoughts about Haitang, otherwise you wouldn't be so concerned about He Yuzhu's wedding."
After saying this, Qin Jingru buried her head deeply in her chest, her hands tightly clasped the corners of her clothes, as if this could give her a sense of security.
She didn't dare to look up at Xu Damao's reaction, fearing that his gentle face would hide anger and disappointment. Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed to jump out of her chest.
When Xu Damao heard Qin Jingru mention Qin Huairu, he could not help but feel angry. He did not expect Qin Huairu to be so provocative and even say bad things about him behind his back.
He tried to calm himself down and not let his anger cloud his mind. He knew that the most important thing now was to calm Qin Jingru's emotions and not let her be swayed by the outside world.
He took a deep breath, walked to Qin Jingru, gently held her hand, and said softly: "Jingru, you have to believe me. Yu Haitang and I are just colleagues, and there is no shameful intention.
Qin Huairu is unhappy with her own life, so she wants to sow discord between us. Don't think too much about it, what she said is nonsense."
Xu Damao's voice was full of firmness and tenderness, which made Qin Jingru feel relieved. She raised her head and looked into Xu Damao's eyes, which were gleaming with tears. She nodded gently, indicating that she believed in Xu Damao's words.
Xu Damao was relieved to see Qin Jingru's mood stabilized. He knew that he had to go to the He family to deal with the matter as soon as possible and could not waste any more time.
So he stood up, patted Qin Jingru on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, it's getting late, I have to go to the He family. You don't have to worry about me, I will take care of it." After that, Xu Damao turned and walked towards the door.
