Chapter 44: Pity
The week that Zhou Huaiyan took over the Gu family passed smoothly without any incident, and the time was too short, I don't know if Zhou Huaiyan transferred my property privately, but he came back to me every day unexpectedly this week, although because we don't have the right schedule, we can rarely touch it, but I will take this as Zhou Huaiyan's gratitude to me.
And what Zhou Huaiyan did this week, I don't know at all, Zheng Yuanqiao's sudden dismissal caused a lot of turmoil, in order to avoid the limelight, I didn't go to the company during this time, but I still learned from the assistant that Zhou Huaiyan first terminated a lot of unequal contracts with the Zhou family as soon as he took office, which was a relief to the Zhou family.
I'm not surprised that he's going to do that, he's thinking about his family.
In addition, the assistant also told me a lot about Zhou Huaiyan, so in fact, I don't need to explain to me superfluously from Wang's mother, I also know what he is doing when he returns to work overtime these days - probably because I suddenly kicked out Zheng Yuanqiao, which made him have a sense of crisis, and he worked very hard, he was so conscientious, but he really dispelled the idea of dismissing him.
The week that Zhou Huaiyan took over Gu's was also a week when I barely saw him in person, it was amazing, the two of them obviously lived in the same space, and they rarely even met a few times.
Wang's mother persuaded me to go to see Zhou Huaiyan, and even helped me prepare a meal, but I still refused, so I sent food to my husband at work like a little wife, which sounded very loving, but I didn't have to think about it to know what Zhou Huaiyan's reaction was, so in order not to be bored, I didn't go, there is also a canteen in the company, and I will definitely not be hungry.
So the days went by, and it felt like I handed over the two ends of the rope around my neck to Zhou Huaiyan, and I was now waiting for Zhou Huaiyan to tighten the rope.
And on such a day, it will soon come the day when Shen Changying and Li Yu will leave, and before leaving, I also feel that I want to invite them to a meal no matter how much I say.
When I told Shen Changying about this on the phone, he quickly agreed, but to my surprise, he asked me to bring Zhou Huai to the banquet.
"He wasn't here last time, so he can't talk about it if he doesn't come this time, right?" he said on the phone with a sneer.
I am also helpless, I know how much Shen Changying hates Zhou Huaiyan, and Zhou Huaiyan definitely doesn't want to meet them, so why should I make these two people unhappy.
For my refusal, Shen Changying snorted coldly, but he didn't have anything to do with me, he just said that he wouldn't come to eat my food.
I smiled, but still asked the assistant to arrange the hotel.
I didn't want Zhou Huaiyan to know about this matter, but I didn't expect him to ask me about Shen Changying when he came back in the evening.
"Is he leaving?"
Even knew the news that Shen Changying was leaving, and it could be regarded as keeping up with the trend.
"yes, what's wrong?"
“...... It's nothing. He had a strange look on his face, and after saying this, he said nothing more.
After being silent for a while, I realized that Zhou Huaiyan wanted to see Shen Changying?
“...... "I moved, leaned closer to him, and asked him, "I asked them to have dinner this weekend, and I thought it was a farewell to them, would you like to come along?"
Zhou Huaiyan glanced at me and didn't speak, I was a little disappointed, and thought he had refused.
Forget it, I wasn't expecting it anyway.
"What time is it?"
After a while, I heard Zhou Huaiyan ask.
I was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhou Huaiyan who bowed his head and ate supper, and couldn't help laughing.
On the weekend, I went out with Zhou Huaiyan, although I didn't come out of the same room, but being able to come out of the same door already made me feel like we were husband and wife as a family, and just like that, it already made me feel very satisfied.
And after arriving at the hotel, seeing Zhou Huaiyan beside me, Shen Changying was also stunned, seeing him like this, I was even more proud, and raised my eyebrows at him, meaning look, I still brought him over.
Shen Changying sneered at this and looked away.
So we made eye contact, but we didn't say anything.
The meal went well, and Li Yu only knew that I had beaten the child, and her tone was full of surprise and incomprehension, she said, "How can I beat it? Does the miscarriage hurt?"
Her sudden relationship made me a little uncomfortable, I looked up at Zhou Huaiyan, in fact, I don't want to mention this child much anymore, especially in front of Zhou Huaiyan, but Li Yu seemed to have to break the casserole and ask to the end, and asked me several questions in a row, which made me a little like doing popular science for a while.
"If there is a problem, there is no way, but it seems that it is better to be prepared to have children. ”
After asking me a question, Li Yu summed it up like this.
"Okay, you know everything you want to know, don't continue to poke other people's scars, it's sad enough that she didn't leave this child. At this time, Shen Changying came forward and said, but the timing was a little late, which made me a little suspicious that he deliberately asked Li Yu to ask me a bunch of things, and I couldn't help glaring at him.
But Shen Changying was indifferent at all.
Halfway through eating, Shen Changying got up and went to the bathroom, and after a while, I received a message from him, telling me to go out alone and not to be known by Li Yu and Zhou Huaiyan.
When I received this news, I rolled my eyes, what else did I have to say to me alone? But I can also guess what he deliberately avoided Li Yu and Zhou Huaiyan and wanted to say to me, and I can also guess that it is nothing more than a warning and reminder, telling me not to be deceived by Zhou Huaiyan's temporary appearance, he must be pretending, in order to let me relax my vigilance...... Yunyun.
In fact, I don't need him to remind me, I will always have such a voice in my heart, telling me that Zhou Huaiyan will not really fall in love with me, and even some of his behaviors are deliberately made, in order to give me the illusion that "he may have fallen in love with me".
I sighed softly, and at this time I also found out that Zhou Huaiyan has always disliked and hated me, which has brought a bad effect, that is, I can't easily believe that he will fall in love with me, even if he falls in love with me one day, I may not believe it in my heart.
I sighed helplessly, it seems that if this continues, I can't wait for the day when I want the result, maybe returning him to Gu Wanxin is the best result between the three of us.
I didn't agree, and after a while, Shen Changying came in from outside with a dark face, Li Yu felt that his face was wrong, and asked him what was wrong, Shen Changying said in a cold tone It's nothing.
I deliberately didn't look at Shen Changying's face, I guess I was staring at me deadly, I wanted to stare out of my body.
Anyway, the meal was finished smoothly, and after it was over, we parted ways, and after Shen Changying and Li Yu left in the car, Zhou Huaiyan told me that he was going back to Zhou's house tonight.
I took it for granted that he would go back with me, I was stunned for a moment when I heard him say this, it was false to say that I was not disappointed, and I suddenly reacted, how could I take it for granted that he would go back with me?
But I also know how busy Zhou Huaiyan has been for more than a week, and I don't have time to go back to Zhou's house, and I can't always lock him up and not let him see his family, although he never said it in front of me, but I know how much he cares about his family, so I didn't say anything, and said to him: "Okay." Then I watched him get into the car and leave.
So Wang's mother was very surprised to see me come back alone, and when she saw me, she immediately asked me where Zhou Huaiyan went, and I told her that he had gone home.
"Going home?" Wang Ma was still confused, "Which home?"
I was stunned when Wang Ma said this, she originally regarded me here as Zhou Huaiyan's home? How could it be, I sarcastically hooked the corner of my lower lip, his home is only the Zhou family.
"Then Miss, why didn't you go with you?" After hearing my answer, Wang's mother was even more anxious, "Sir, his house, isn't it your mother-in-law's house? That is also your home, why can't you go with you?"
Mother Wang's words really made me feel empowered, indeed, the Zhou family is my mother-in-law's family at this level, but let me go back with Zhou Huaiyan? I really don't know what kind of bloody wind it will be, in order not to block Zhou Huaiyan, I still don't know each other at all.
"But what if the gentleman doesn't come back?"
Wang's mother said another sentence to my heart, and I lost the calmness I had just now.
That's right, now Zhou Huaiyan has nothing to rely on me, he can go back if he wants to go back now, I don't even have the handle to threaten him to come back, if he doesn't come back, will I still come to the door to ask for someone?
Just thinking about it makes me feel chills.
"Go now," Wang Ma saw my emotions and spared no effort to persuade me, "You can still catch up with you now, just say that you have something to delay, and bring some gifts, they will not diswelcome you." ”
As she spoke, Wang's mother urged me to set off, which made me hesitate a little, should I go?
"Forget it, I'll see if he'll be willing to come back to me. ”
Mother Wang couldn't do anything about my reaction, sighed lightly, and had no choice but to turn around and get busy.
But although I said this, I was still panicked in my heart, sitting on the sofa, I began to think back to what kind of expression and tone Zhou Huaiyan had when he told me that he wanted to go back, had he been thinking about it for a long time?
I even pushed his room open to see if he had cleaned up the traces he had left in order to never come back.
And thinking about it like this, I also found out coldly that Zhou Huaiyan left this time and didn't tell me when he would come back.
"Miss go to bed early, it's not early. At two o'clock in the morning, when my mother saw that I was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, she couldn't help but come over to persuade me, and said, "It's impossible for Mr. to come back in the middle of the night." ”
I smiled at her, of course I knew that Zhou Huaiyan would not come back in the middle of the night, he returned to Zhou's house, at least it would take a night to come back, but I just couldn't help it, and I couldn't sleep, so I just sat in the place where I could see him come back at a glance, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, I was so pitiful, Wang Ma came out to see me several times worriedly.
"It's okay, I just don't feel sleepy, you can rest early, don't worry about me. I smiled at Wang's mother and said.
Wang's mother was full of worry, but she couldn't persuade me, so she found a blanket for me and told me not to catch a cold.
I smiled and thanked her.
And I thought I wasn't sleepy at all, but when I fell asleep unconsciously, when I opened my eyes, I happened to see Zhou Huaiyan appear in my field of vision.
"Ouch......" I heard him sigh softly, and then I saw him crouch down and reach out and touch my head.
"Can you not always be like this, looking very pitiful......"
When I heard him say this, my tears flowed instantly, and I reached out and grabbed his hand and said, "I am very pitiful, so how pitiful you are to pity me......"
I don't remember much about what happened later, but then I heard Wang's mother repeat that it was Zhou Huaiyan who carried me upstairs, and I grabbed his collar and cried very pitifully for a long time, because I refused to let Zhou Huaiyan leave, and finally Zhou Huaiyan had to hold me and wait for the doctor to come and hang up the potion for me - yes, after sitting in the cold late night, I had a fever that I was disappointed with.
Because of the fever, I don't remember many things very clearly, just like Wang's mother said, I only remember crying at the beginning, and then it was a blur, only pain and whiteness.
I haven't been sick for a long time, the last time I went to the hospital was for an abortion, so this time the fever came very fiercely, and it took me a week to get better, and after my head didn't hurt or runny nose, I finally realized how important it is to be healthy.
And during this week, Mother Wang naturally took care of me in every detail, and during this period, what she talked about the most was that she took it upon herself that day to not let anyone do anything at home, and kept the house quiet until Zhou Huaiyan came back and found me sleeping on the sofa.
She kept saying how gently Zhou Huaiyan picked me up from the sofa and sent me back to the bedroom, and how patient he was with me to get a needle, and how he comforted me in my ear when I cried out in pain from being pricked by needles.
I don't remember anything, so I let her make it up, and I have every reason to suspect that she is deliberately adding fuel to the vinegar to comfort me, because I was not a child who would cry because of the little pain of a needle, and it was like this since my mother was still alive, and she would praise me for being a brave little girl, unlike any other little girl.
But anyway, I got better after a serious illness, and Zhou Huaiyan didn't return to Zhou's house, and still returned to my house every night.
And on an ordinary day, Zhou Huaiyan suddenly handed me an invitation, I was stunned, took it and took a closer look only to find that it was an invitation to a dinner tomorrow night.
"You get ready, come with me tomorrow. ”
After handing me the invitation, he said.
As soon as he said this, I was even more surprised, Zhou Huaiyan meant to let me participate with him, but how could this be? Didn't he hate such an occasion the most? Or am I with him, isn't he afraid of being pointed at behind his back, saying that he is a man who lives under a woman's skirt?
"Gu Wanqing, have you ever thought about it, I have taken over the Gu family for half a month, and you haven't shown your face once, have you ever thought about what people outside will think?"
Perhaps a little offended by my gaze, Zhou Huaiyan said almost a little annoyed.
And as soon as he said this, I realized that I had been in "retreat" for half a month, which was really a long time, and it was no wonder that Zhou Huaiyan was in a hurry.
However, I have already handed over the power to Zhou Huaiyan, and people outside still like to talk about it, which really makes me helpless, it seems that the face that Zhou Huaiyan once lost by me will never get it back.
I felt sorry in my heart, so I was ready to save face for Zhou Huaiyan.
The dinner was held in a star-rated hotel, and when Zhou Huaiyan and I appeared at the dinner scene in pairs, I also felt the gaze from the surroundings, and I was a little in a trance, as if I hadn't received such a big attention before, right?
But I received a lot more attention than I thought, and it didn't take long for people to come up and care about where I had gone during this time.
"I had an illness some time ago," I explained with a smile, but it wasn't a lie, "and I rested at home for a while." ”
Whether it's a real illness or a fake illness, when they hear me say that, they naturally show concern.
After explaining and letting them know what was wrong with me, there were not so many people who came up to care about me anymore, and when I walked to the rest area to rest, I unconsciously heard them talking, and then I learned that I hadn't shown up for more than half a month, and it had been rumored outside that Zhou Huaiyan had snatched power from me, and in order to ensure his power, he put me under house arrest at home.
House arrest?
I have to admire their imagination, but following their imagination and thinking about it, I found that it is not a bad thing, if Zhou Huaiyan really will do it to put me under house arrest at home, every day the door is not given, no one is allowed to see, and he is the only one who can be seen...... It doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
"What are you thinking?"
And just when my mind was full of delusions, a familiar voice suddenly sounded next to me.
I was shocked, came back to my senses in an instant, and shifted my gaze to Zheng Yuanqiao, who appeared beside me.
He was also there, which I didn't expect, and as far as I know, this dinner is not low-grade, and he is also among the invitees, which means that he has really become a person in this circle.
I don't overdo it, I ignore him. At this point, I don't have anything to say to him.
"I finally saw you, speaking of which, I still made a bet with someone today to see if Zhou Huaiyan would bring you today, but it was quite unexpected to me, I thought that Zhou Huai Banquet tortured you, but I didn't expect you to look quite ruddy. ”
I didn't plan to pay attention to Zheng Yuanqiao, but he was so entangled that I couldn't help but glare at him.
Ruddy? It was raised by Wang's mother during her illness, right?
But I didn't bother to explain to him, so I just glared at him and walked straight forward.
