Chapter 217 Love belongs to you
"Zhang Long, please stop dwelling on this matter, okay?" Qi Tongwei's voice was filled with a hint of pleading.
"No! You must break up with Cuicui completely and never make your wife sad again!" Zhang Long was determined. His face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were wide open as if they were about to spit fire.
"Zhang Long, don't go too far! There's really nothing going on between Cuicui and me. Do you think it's fun to keep harping on it like this?" Qi Tongwei also became anxious and raised his voice.
Zhang Long took a step forward, his finger almost poking Qi Tongwei's nose, "Nothing? Then why do people see you two together so often? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Qi Tongwei pushed Zhang Long's hand away and said, "That's all coincidence! Don't just believe everything you hear and accuse me of something!"
Zhang Long sneered, "Coincidence? How can there be so many coincidences? Qi Tongwei, if you don't give me a promise today, I will never let it go!"
Qi Tongwei glared at Zhang Long, "What do you want? I've already told you I'll be careful, what else do you want to force me to do?"
"It's very simple. You swear in front of me that you will never have any contact with Cuicui again. Otherwise, I will let your wife know!" Zhang Long's voice was sharp and harsh.
Qi Tongwei was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Zhang Long, we have been friends for so many years, and you actually threaten me with this? Do you still have any conscience?"
"Conscience? I'm doing this for your own good and for the good of your wife! If you behave yourself, would you be afraid of my threats?" Zhang Long did not give in at all.
The two refused to give in to each other and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
People passing by looked at him sideways, but no one dared to step forward to persuade him.
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. "Zhang Long, can we calm down and talk it out? It's not good for anyone if you keep making a fuss like this."
Zhang Long was still excited, "There's nothing to say, just give me a definite answer!"
Qi Tongwei shook his head helplessly, "I really just treat Cuicui as an ordinary friend. I can't do anything about her having a crush on me, but I have never responded to her, and I have never done anything to let my wife down."
"Don't try that on me!" Zhang Long interrupted him loudly, "If you really cared about your wife, you wouldn't let this happen!"
Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Long, do you really have to do this to the extreme?"
"You forced me to do this!" Zhang Long roared.
Just then, Qi Tongwei's cell phone suddenly rang. He looked and saw that it was his wife Liang Lu calling.
His face turned very ugly in an instant, and he hesitated, not knowing whether he should answer it.
Zhang Long sneered when he saw this: "Don't you dare answer it? Are you afraid that your wife will know?"
Qi Tongwei glared at Zhang Long fiercely, but finally answered the phone.
"Hello, Tongwei, where are you?" Liang Lu's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qi Tongwei tried his best to keep his voice calm, "I have something to do outside, I will be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei looked at Zhang Long, his eyes full of helplessness and pain, "Zhang Long, we have been friends for so many years, you really can't do this to me, there is really nothing between Cuicui and me, she has a crush on me, but I have always rejected it, why do you have to hold on to it?"
Zhang Long folded his hands in front of his chest and sneered at Qi Tongwei, "Humph, Qi Tongwei, don't play the emotional card with me here. The evidence is irrefutable now, and you can't quibble."
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger. "Zhang Long, think about it carefully. When have I not helped you before? When you were in trouble, when was it not me who was the first to stand up for you? We have been through so many ups and downs together. When have I, as your big brother, ever treated you unfairly?"
Zhang Long was unmoved, with a sneer still on his face, "Qi Tongwei, this is a different time. You made a mistake this time, and I can't just sit back and watch."
Qi Tongwei raised his voice, "What did I do wrong? I've already said that I didn't have any thoughts or actions that crossed the line towards Cuicui, why don't you believe me?"
Zhang Long's eyes revealed a hint of pride, "Qi Tongwei, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Cuicui is young and beautiful, how could you not be tempted? Now that I've discovered it, you're denying it in every possible way."
Qi Tongwei was so angry that he stamped his feet. "Zhang Long, you are totally unreasonable! I have always treated you as a brother and sincerely. I didn't expect that you would treat me like this for such a fictitious thing. Check your conscience and see if you can live with it."
Zhang Long curled his lips and said, "Don't talk to me about conscience. If you really have a conscience, you won't be entangled with Cuicui."
Qi Tongwei's voice was trembling. "Zhang Long, you really disappoint me. We used to drink and chat together, and work hard for our dreams together. Have you forgotten those days?"
Zhang Long's eyes flickered slightly, but soon returned to indifference, "That's all in the past. Now that you are not clean, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Qi Tongwei stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Long's arm tightly. "Zhang Long, I beg you, let me go this time. I promise to draw a clear line between Cuicui and me in the future and never let this happen again."
Zhang Long shook off Qi Tongwei's hand and said, "It's too late! What's the point of saying this now? Unless you do as I say, break up with Cuicui completely, and promise me that you won't do it again, I will definitely tell your wife about this."
Qi Tongwei sat on the ground in despair, "Zhang Long, you are pushing me into a dead end."
Zhang Long looked down at Qi Tongwei, "You asked for this. It's your own fault. You couldn't control yourself and gave others the opportunity."
At this time, Qi Tongwei's heart was filled with regret and helplessness.
He looked at Zhang Long's arrogant and conceited appearance, anger burning in his heart, but was suppressed by deep helplessness.
"Zhang Long, I have explained to you countless times that Cuicui and I are innocent. Why don't you believe me?"
Qi Tongwei's voice trembled with anger and his eyes were bloodshot.
Zhang Long sneered, "Qi Tongwei, do you think I will believe your lies? The evidence is in front of you, and you still want to quibble?"
Qi Tongwei clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. "Zhang Long, are you really going to push me into a dead end? I've already said that I will handle my relationship with Cuicui properly, why are you still holding on to me?"
"Deal with it? Humph, I see you don't want to deal with it at all. Qi Tongwei, don't think I don't know what's in your mind." Zhang Long continued to mock.
Qi Tongwei's chest rose and fell violently. "Zhang Long, I have always regarded you as a brother. I didn't expect you to be so heartless. What did I do wrong to make you treat me like this?"
Zhang Long burst into laughter. "What did you do wrong? You know it in your heart. You betrayed your family and the trust of your friends."
