Chapter 71: Let Me Hold for a While
I didn't see the things in Zhou Mingchuan's hand clearly, but when I got closer, I realized that what he was holding was actually our wedding photos that were placed on the bedside table before.
My marriage to him was simple, and the only memorial was a few wedding photos, which I always regarded as a treasure at that time, but the last time I left here, I didn't even take a single one with me when I packed my things.
He didn't look up again except for the previous glance, and it wasn't until I walked up to him that he looked up at me and asked, "Why did this happen between us? Didn't we say that we would be together for the rest of our lives?"
I looked at him fixedly, "The life we agreed on ended early when you decided to accept Meng Shuwei, and I am sad about this result, but the truth cannot be changed." ”
"You've really changed. Zhou Mingchuan put down the photo frame and stood up, "You would never be so calm before, let alone so ruthless." ”
"You don't know that I was forced by you, do you? After I knew I had children, I secretly fantasized that maybe we could still be possible, but unfortunately you extinguished all my hopes. ”
Jin Yebai guessed not wrong at all, the reason why he escaped from the battle and got up from the operating table that time was because I thought I could start over with Zhou Mingchuan.
I was really willing to forgive all his mistakes for the sake of this hard-won child, but unfortunately we missed it in the end.
"That child ......" Zhou Mingchuan's voice was very low, and he became more and more sad, "We used to hope to have a child of our own, I even thought about the name a lot, and I was going to take it out for you to pick when you have it, but it's a pity that ......"
"Since I chose Meng Shuwei, let's live with her well in the future, what I can't do, she can do it!" I turned around and finally said, "In the matter of property, I did go too far, but I don't regret it." ”
After speaking, I walked out quickly, cold, my waist suddenly tightened, and Zhou Mingchuan hugged me tightly from behind.
My body stiffened, a feeling that was once very familiar, and the memories swept over me like a flood of beasts, and my nose was sore, and I quickly closed my eyes, afraid that tears would fall.
As early as when Jin Yebai called me just now, I was about to take it anymore, and I was forced to make these choices to my former lover and the closest person, I was really heartbroken, but I still had to pretend to be strong, making people feel that I didn't care at all.
"Wife, let me hug you again, I know I'm sorry for you, but I really love you, and I don't know why things got out of hand, and I ended up like this, and I feel so sad. Zhou Mingchuan rested his chin on my head and whispered hoarsely.
Hearing him call me wife again, I finally couldn't hold back, and warm tears rolled down my face, stinging my heart and shattering all my pretenses.
I reached out and tried to forcibly break his hands around my waist, but he grabbed my hands and whispered in my ear, "Let me hold for a while, just for a while, I'm afraid I won't have a chance again." ”
"You let go of me, I'm not your wife anymore, don't scream, let alone take advantage of me, Mu Chi is outside, as long as I scream, he will come in." "I was confined to him in my arms, struggling weakly.
Zhou Mingchuan exhaled in my ear, "Meng Lu, don't believe Li Muchi, I dare to guarantee that he must have a purpose in approaching you, he was trying to snatch you away from me at the beginning, so as to prove that he is better than me." ”
Of course, I thought that Li Muchi approached me with an impure purpose, so I always kept an eye on him, and even when I invited him to sit in the apartment, I always guarded against him and put my mobile phone within reach.
However, I believe in Jin Yebai very much, he intends to match me and Li Muchi, which is enough to show that he approves of this man, but I really don't have the heart to think about feelings now.
I can let go of Zhou Mingchuan, but I definitely can't let go of Jin Yebai!
"Thank you for your kindness, but it's none of your business. "I was hugged by Zhou Mingchuan for too long and too tightly, I couldn't break free, and it was impossible to really call Li Muchi to come in, so that he could see this scene, so I had to use an inhumane method to lift my foot and step on the surface of his foot.
I was wearing mid-heeled shoes today, and the force I used was not small, and when I stepped down, he immediately sighed in pain, but he didn't let go of me in pain, but instead grabbed my waist and picked me up, and strode to the bed.
"Hey, what are you going to do?" I didn't dare to scream loudly in this situation, for fear of recruiting Li Muchi in to see this scene, but if he forced me like that time, then I would definitely kill him!
He didn't speak, just gently put me on the bed, and then pressed me up, his eyes full of love, so thick that he could hardly melt away.
"Mu ......" I was about to call Li Muchi when I opened it, Zhou Mingchuan's hot and humid lips had quickly pressed up, blocking my words in my throat.
His kiss was the one I knew best, less domineering than the last time, but more helpless, and he was cautious and trembling, as if he was afraid that I would bite his tongue.
Forget it, let's just think this is a realistic version of kissing goodbye, no matter how much we once loved each other, whether he really has the so-called love for me now, I will cooperate with him to kiss this time.
Between my lips and teeth, I closed my eyes, but suddenly remembered the scene when Jin Yebai kissed me in the car, I was really fallen at that time, and now, I am facing Zhou Mingchuan, my former husband, I still think of him.
"Okay!" Just when he was forgetting to kiss, I stretched out my hand and easily pushed him away, "Zhou Mingchuan, this is the last time, we will be strangers in the future!"
He was suddenly pushed away by me, and before he could speak, I had already quickly stood up, tidied up my clothes, walked outside quickly, opened the door, and Li Muchi was still standing outside.
I think he must have heard everything inside, and he didn't rush in, maybe it was just because I didn't call him, or maybe he could understand our mood at the moment, after all, he also knew my relationship with Zhou Mingchuan clearly.
Zhou Mingchuan followed, stretched out his hand to pull me, and suddenly heard Meng Shuwei scream, "What are you doing?"
Feng Shui takes turns, in the past I was the original partner, she was a junior, and at this moment, I am no longer Zhou Mingchuan's legal wife, but she regards herself as a future wife.
I dragged Li Muchi's hand and asked Zhou Mingchuan, "Have you packed up all your things?" ”
Zhou Mingchuan's hands stiffened in the void, and when he heard this, he looked at his family and asked, "Have you all finished packing up?" ”
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother nodded and said a word of hometown, and then Zhou Mingchuan walked over and walked all the way to Meng Shuwei, "You go back to your parents first, I'll send them to the station." ”
"No, you send me back first, and then send them to the station, can you rest assured that I have such a big belly? What if something happens on the road?" Meng Shuwei shouted.
"Then where are you letting my parents go now?" Zhou Mingchuan yelled unhappily, "I said I would move away a long time ago, and it was because of you that things were made like this, what do you want me to do in this moment?"
Zhou Mingchuan's parents have lived here for a few months, can't they even go to the station? There is a direct bus outside, I am a little helpless, secretly glad that they are no longer my in-laws.
Meng Shuwei also shouted unceremoniously, "You still have the face to blame me, if you didn't have the ability to even win your own house, would we be where we are today? Also, don't forget who is willing to take you in now, it's my parents, not your parents!"
We didn't speak, but the two of them quarreled, and the more they argued, the more fierce they became, I haven't been so noisy with Zhou Mingchuan in five years of marriage, and in the end, Meng Shuwei reached out to grab Zhou Mingchuan's face.
Her nails have always been deliberately left very long, so that she can do nail art, and with a claw like a claw like a white bone claw, a clear scratch appeared on Zhou Mingchuan's face.
I sighed secretly when I saw it, Zhou Mingchuan was destined to have a good life in the future with such a woman, I was really vicious, and I actually watched him jump into the fire pit.
The sofa in the living room had been lifted up, and Li Sisi was sitting on it, she had been impatient after waiting for so long, and immediately yelled at Zhou Mingchuan: "You can do whatever you want, but please discuss whether you want to quarrel or fight, go outside, we still have to clean up this garbage dump." ”
I also pulled Li Muchi over and sat down, looking at Zhou Mingchuan with cold eyes, he just threw me a look of help, I knew that he wanted me to keep his parents here temporarily, but do I really want to help him?
Lu Zhenting couldn't bear it anymore, and whispered to me: "You see that their things are all packed, or let them sit here for a while." ”
Li Sisi immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Why do you help everyone, you are panicked when you are full, right? Then don't eat at noon." ”
Li Muchi also said to me: "Meng Lu, what Mr. Lu said is right, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, or you can help him this time." ”
I didn't really plan to embarrass Zhou Mingchuan like this, but I couldn't find the steps down, since they gave me the steps together, I pushed the boat and said: "Zhou Mingchuan, you send her back first, your parents will stay here first." ”
Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by Li Sisi, she turned her head and glared at Zhou Mingchuan viciously, "What are you still doing in a daze, I'll give you two hours, if you don't come back by then, don't blame me for being rude, even if Meng Lu can't bear it, I will use a broom to drive people away!"
Zhou Mingchuan said a word to his parents, and then took Meng Shuwei's hand and dragged her out, "Now you are satisfied, I will send you back." ”
"I haven't taken my bag yet, so why don't you go get it for me. "Meng Shuwei has really become the queen mother, and she has turned Zhou Mingchuan into her little eunuch, and she is not embarrassed to drink at all.
Zhou Mingchuan quickly left with Meng Shuwei, I looked at the time, it was already noon, so I proposed to go out for lunch first, Li Sisi immediately responded, pulled Lu Zhenting and walked out.
Li Muchi and I followed, and when I was leaving, I glanced at Zhou Mingchuan's parents, and felt that it was not convenient to cook in such a messy place, so I said to them: "I will pack meals for you later, and come back, so don't go to cook." ”
Zhou's parents turned their heads and ignored me, looking like they had a lot of backbone.
Mother Zhou opened her mouth and didn't say a word, but I clearly noticed that her face changed slightly.
Zhao Xiaoyu replied to me, "Auntie, I want to eat chicken legs, can you buy me chicken legs?"
"Good. I smiled and walked away with Li Muchi.
Just because of Zhao Xiaoyu's sentence "Auntie, I want to eat chicken legs", I really ordered a plate of chicken when I ordered, and deliberately kept the chicken legs.
Because there was nothing else to do except let Li Muchi evaluate the price of the house, after eating, I asked Li Sisi and Lu Zhenting to leave first, and then Li Muchi and I went back with the packed meals.
Just when I walked to the door of the house with Li Muchi talking and laughing, I suddenly froze, there was one more person in the living room, well, it was still a person who was cleaning up the mess on the ground, it was actually Zhou Lijuan.
Seeing me coming back, Zhao Xiaoyu immediately ran over with his little short legs, and shouted, "Auntie, where are my chicken legs?"
How I want to say, I am no longer your aunt, and you are not allowed to call me that in the future, but he is just a child who doesn't know anything about the world, and I said it in vain, so I didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Lijuan who walked towards me fixedly.
"Sister-in-law, you're back. "She called me sister-in-law like before, but she was less angry and more kind.
"Why are you here?" I handed her the food in my hand, "I have divorced your brother, don't call me sister-in-law in the future, I can't stand it!"
It's too hard to be her sister-in-law, it's better for me to draw a line with her, she's just a child like Zhao Xiaoyu, I'm sure she can understand what I mean.
"Oh, good. She took the food and put it on the coffee table, beckoning her parents to come over for dinner.
Zhao Xiaoyu immediately smiled when he saw the chicken leg that he bought for him, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw it, it's better to be a child, there won't be so many troubles, and a chicken leg can satisfy them.
Zhou Lijuan asked her mother to feed Zhao Xiaoyu and continued to clean up the house, while Li Muchi automatically walked away and began to inspect the house carefully.
I saw that the living room was really messy, and I couldn't clean it up for a while, so I said to Zhou Lijuan: "Don't bother to clean up, I'll find someone from the cleaning company to deal with it later." ”
Zhou Lijuan's movements froze for a moment, and she suddenly raised her eyes to look at me and said three words to me: "I'm sorry!"
I have been married to Zhou Mingchuan for five years, and this is the first time I heard her apologize to me, and I couldn't help but be stunned, is this still the poisonous tongue woman Zhou Lijuan I know?
In fact, I felt a little wrong when I first saw her, she was a lot haggard, and even her eyes were dim, I guess it might be because of Zhao Dekai's derailment.
In view of my relationship with her now, I didn't plan to ask her about Zhao Dekai, it's none of my business, I don't need to go back to this water, let's send their family away quickly.
I didn't answer her words, Gu Zi walked up to Li Muchi and asked him something about the house, and the most concerned thing was when I would get the money.
"Are you really in such a hurry? If you are too short on time, you will suffer a big loss in price, and it is not so easy to find a buyer if you want to pay in full. Li Muchi said.
"I know, but I'm in dire need of money right now, so sell as fast as you can, and it's okay if you have less money. "At this time, where can I take care of so much, thinking that Jin Yebai is going to give up the company, I feel reluctant and distressed for him.
"Okay, then I'll do it as soon as possible. Li Muchi nodded and continued to look at the house.
I saw that Zhou Lijuan was still silently cleaning up, so I also began to clean up, and in the end, even her mother followed to help, and the three women invisibly stood on the united front.
"That, sister-in-law......" Zhou Lijuan just wanted to call my sister-in-law, but reacted and quickly changed her words, "Miss Shu, my brother's child, will you give birth?"
"No!" I replied without thinking about it.
"Why? That's your child, too. Zhou Lijuan immediately asked.
"The child is gone, and it was killed by your new sister-in-law. "When I think of that child who died again, I don't feel much anymore.
"How could she do that! It's too much. Zhou Lijuan said angrily, and then asked me, "Does my brother know? Actually, if it weren't for the children, you wouldn't be like this." ”
"It's all gone, don't mention it again. "I don't want to talk about anything related to Zhou Mingchuan and the child, so I'll stop talking.
At this time, I don't have much feeling about the change in Zhou Lijuan's attitude, anyway, we are already people who have nothing to do with it, and it doesn't matter what she does to me.
Zhou's mother shouldn't have known that I had a child, and she seemed surprised when we talked about it, and opened her mouth several times to interrupt our conversation, but she was glared back by Zhou Lijuan's eyes.
After I shut up, she chatted with Zhou Lijuan, I didn't understand, I just silently cleaned up the mess on the side, and soon after I saw regret in her eyes.
Zhou Mingchuan rushed back within two hours, at this time the room was restored to its original appearance with the efforts of the three of us, he was a little surprised when he came in, I don't know if it was because of the cleanliness in front of him, or the silent cooperation of the three of us.
He handed me the key to the house, and soon picked up the big bag and went out with his family, because Li Muchi had already finished the assessment, and Li Muchi and I also went out together.
Everyone took the elevator downstairs together, went out of the hall together, and then parted ways, they went out to take the car, the scene was much more spectacular than the day when Zhou's mother brought Zhao Xiaoyu to come.
I got into the car directly with Li Muchi, and soon caught up with them, when I passed by Zhou Mingchuan, he glanced sideways at me, I didn't turn my face and pretended not to look at him, thinking that I was a stranger from now on.
Li Muchi sent me back to the apartment, and I asked him to eat out in the evening, and then the days were calm, and I began to submit my resume online, ready to find a job and start a new life.
