Cai Yiren was left speechless by Qin Zhiyou’s words, her face turned red instantly. She looked at Lu Weixi in shock, then turned to Qin Zhigu with a pleading look in her eyes.

Cai Yiren used to be bullied often, but back then, Lu Weixi was always there to protect her. Anytime someone picked on Cai Yiren, she retaliated. After Cai Yiren started dating Qin Zhigu, she tagged along with them like a tail. When she was bullied, the two of them would step in.

But now, she had a fallout with Lu Weixi, and she’d also broken up with Qin Zhigu. Lu Weixi wouldn’t stepped in for her, and it appeared Qin Zhigu wouldn’t either.

In recent years, Cai Yiren had replaced Lu Weixi’s position, praised frequently both in and out of the company. She’d lived comfortably and seemed to have forgotten that although Lu Weixi was no longer the Bai Family’s young lady, she was still Qin Zhiyou’s wife and the mistress of the Hanhai Group.

Even if Lu Weixi wasn’t valued anymore, Qin Zhiyou wouldn’t let anyone disrespect her. A man’s wife is his honor.

Offending Lu Weixi meant offending Qin Zhiyou. Qin Zhiyou wasn’t as easy to reason with as Qin Zhigu. If someone annoys him, he’d make sure they pay dearly!

Besides, Qin Zhiyou was the one who had bought this boat; he certainly had the right to kick her off it.

Seeing Cai Yiren unmoved, Qin Zhiyou called for Secretary Wang, reprimanding him seriously, “What kind of operation are you running? Do you want to be reassigned to the Africa project? How could such a lowly, suspicious woman appear on a maiden voyage? How did she get an invitation? Find out who’s responsible and charge them with negligence!”

Secretary Wang was frightened, quickly nodding and assuring, “Don’t worry, Mr. Qin, I’ll look into it immediately!”

This sudden turn of events caused everyone in the restaurant to look their way. Cai Yiren’s face went from red to white. She never expected a simple, incendiary comment to bring such a backlash from Qin Zhiyou!

Immediately, her expression fell, and, just like before, she started sobbing softly in an unassuming manner, “I’m sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have meddled in Weixi’s affairs.”

Even at this point, she somehow managed to involve Lu Weixi, implying that Qin Zhiyou was angry due to redirected anger towards Lu Weixi.

Qin Zhiyou scoffed, tossed his napkin on the table, and rose from his seat. He wasn’t going to let Cai Yiren’s words throw him off balance. He never had a soft spot for women, nor would he refrain from confronting a woman who seemed pitiful.

Sorry, he played by his rules, and anyone he didn’t like was in for trouble!

If Cai Yiren had said those words about him, he might have let it slide, but daring to insult his beloved Xixi—she was just asking for trouble!

“I’m not eating anymore, let’s go. This is making me lose my appetite.”

If it weren’t for the fact that they were on a ship and already in international waters, he would have definitely kicked Cai Yiren off.

As Qin Zhiyou rose, everyone at the table was taken aback.

Lu Weixi also got up. She had no good feelings towards Cai Yiren, and of course wouldn’t make herself uncomfortable to save face for her. If she didn’t want to stay, she would just leave.

Qin Zhiyou walked a few steps ahead, then stopped and turned back. He reached out his hand and Lu Weixi understood instantly. She placed her small hand in his larger one, intertwining their fingers tightly.

As he was leaving, Qin Zhiyou couldn’t help but mock, “Qin Zhigu, your taste in women is rather questionable; you even like this kind of trash..”
