Chapter Seventy-Eight: Just a Pawn That Can Be Abandoned at Any Time
This matter, even if it wasn't done by Ren Yurong, he couldn't get rid of it.
Zhou He's face was slightly pale, and without waiting for Xu Yuanning to speak, he laughed at himself again, lowered his head, and said: "Senior brother, didn't you see it at all, it was never me who they wanted to call back for dinner." ”
I tried so hard to force her to go back, but it was because she still had value to use. For example, marrying the Xu family.
"Ah He......" Xu Yuanning's voice was slightly hoarse, and he wanted to say something, but the words were blocked in his throat.
He knows, and where will he not know. It's just because of my own selfishness, so I pretend not to know.
Zhou He squeezed out a smile and continued: "Senior brother, the Ren family is not as good as before, and it is just a drag to you. And I'm just a pawn that can be given up at any time. ”
In their eyes, she is nothing more than a tool for marriage. can be the icing on the cake, and it will never be a charcoal for her.
Zhou He's voice was a little sad in it. Said calmly and rationally.
Xu Yuanning's voice was so astringent that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
Zhou He's thin figure was blurry in the gradually brightening light, smiled at Xu Yuanning sideways, and said softly: "Senior brother, I will only be a burden." ”
She didn't look like she was talking about herself at all, but like an outsider.
Xu Yuanning was speechless for a while.
The two didn't speak for a while, and Zhou He sat down on the ground next to him. After a long time, she said softly: "Senior brother, I am with Cheng Wei." ”
When they first got together, she planned to tell Xu Yuanning. But he never opened his mouth.
Xu Yuanning's heart was full of mixed feelings, and he knew that Zhou Yuanning's wisdom and sobriety had surpassed his peers. To make such a decision, I must have made some plans in advance.
He wanted to reach out and pat Zhou He's head, but in the end he didn't move. He whispered, "It must be good." ”
Zhou He said softly, thank you, senior brother.
The two sat down for a while, Xu Yuanning stood up, returned to his usual appearance, and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”
At this time, it was still very early, and Zhou He said that he would just go back. Xu Yuanning didn't let her, and insisted on sending her to the door of the dormitory.
At about eleven o'clock in the evening, it was raining lightly outside. The lights were turned off in the dormitory and it was quiet. There was only the sound of raindrops clattering on the windowsill.
Zhou He somehow caught a cold and had a runny nose. When I got up in the morning, I took a cold powder from He Mi and drank it, but the effect was not great.
Li Peiyuan, who hadn't seen him for a long time over the weekend, called, saying that he was outside the school.
Zhou He took a coat and hurriedly went out, Li Peiyuan carried a big bag of things in his hand, and when he saw Zhou He, he said: "I'm almost sick to my stomach when I eat in the cafeteria, so I bought vegetables and went to the apartment to cook them." ”
Zhou He responded and asked, "Have you been busy lately?"
Li Peiyuan nodded and said, "Fortunately, there are personnel transfers, and there are a lot of things." Now that I'm done, I can take a break. ”
Zhou He sighed and asked, "Then are you going back to Kyoto?"
"Back. Already bought a ticket for tomorrow. Li Peiyuan replied, then looked at Zhou He and asked, "How are you doing?"
Zhou He said that it was okay now. She originally wanted to ask about the matter between him and Miss Han, but after hesitating for a while, she still didn't ask.
Li Peiyuan didn't come to the apartment much, but he found a part-time worker to clean it regularly, and the apartment was clean and spotless.
Zhou He originally planned to cook some dishes from Kyoto for Li Peiyuan, but he didn't let him because it was troublesome, and it was suitable for eating hot pot when it rained, so he asked Zhou He to make hot pot.
Li Peiyuan is not as uncannibalistic as Zhou He imagined, and he helped choose the dishes when Zhou He was playing with the bottom of the pot.
The two of them talked together, and when they were eating, Li Peiyuan suddenly asked, "Have the people from the Ren family looked for you?"
Zhou Ji didn't tell him about the post, saying, "No." ”
Li Peiyuan didn't know if he knew about the post, so he was silent for a while, and said, "If they look for you, call me, and I will talk to them." ”
Zhou He, the daughter, is dispensable for the Ren family. will bow down and look for her small, but it's because it's profitable.
Although Ren Yurong and Li Ying are divorced, although the two families have had little contact over the years, they have not torn their faces. Zhou Ji will not let Li Peiyuan embarrass her. But in order to reassure him, he nodded and agreed.
Li Peiyuan smiled slightly, gave her vegetables, and asked her to eat more, she was too thin.
Zhou He looked at the dishes in the bowl, hesitated slightly, and still asked, "Uncle, ...... you and Miss Han?"
She wanted to ask him if he had confessed to her eldest uncle, but before the words could be spoken, Li Peiyuan said, "I'll deal with it, don't worry." ”
After eating, Li Peiyuan took out two more movie tickets. said that it was given to him by a colleague and that he wanted to take her to the movies.
The movie is a comedy and it's infectious. Zhou He was a little absent-minded, and he was distracted from time to time.
Li Peiyuan also didn't take a serious look, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After watching the movie, he heard Zhou He say that he wanted to go back to the house, so he drove her back. He, as before, did not enter the house. But when he got out of the car, he was silent for a while, and asked, "Ahe, you and Cheng Wei are not suitable." ”
Zhou He's back stiffened, and he quickly turned around. The streetlights stretched her shadow long.
Li Peiyuan paused slightly, and then said: "His background is not just a businessman. ”
She was with Cheng Wei and did not deliberately hide it. Li Peiyuan paid attention to Hehuan Street, knowing that it was a matter of time.
Zhou He didn't speak, and after a long while, a little smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips, leaned against the slightly damp wall, and said softly: "Little uncle, do you know where I first met him?"
Li Peiyuan was slightly stunned.
Zhou He didn't wait for him to speak, and continued: "Outside Hehuan Street, I was robbed. He walked up to me with a black umbrella and pulled me out of the mud. At that time, in my eyes, he was like a god who fell from the sky. ”
Although a long time has passed, that scene is still clearly in my mind.
Zhou He was slightly in a trance, and continued: "Maybe there will be no result. But not everything will come to an end, right, uncle?"
She looked at Li Peiyuan's clear eyes, as if she could reflect his figure.
Li Peiyuan's throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't speak for a while. After more than ten seconds, he said, "Yes." ”
This is the end of this topic, Zhou He looked at the time, and said, "I went in little uncle, you can go back too." ”
Li Peiyuan responded with a hello and motioned for her to go in. He didn't leave immediately, but took out his cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, and smoked it outside.
It was still rainy outside on Sunday, and Zhou He got up in the morning and stood at the window. The room was empty, and my heart ached.
She had to find something to do for herself, so she hurried downstairs and cleaned up. I went to the vegetable market again, bought chicken and made soup, and planned to send him some later.
It was already evening when she sent it over, and she was supposed to send it back to the apartment, but when she called on the way, she learned that Cheng Wei was not in the apartment. He's on the company's side.
Zhou He hesitated a little and took the car to Cheng Wei's company.
Cheng Wei is no longer there, and the person who came out to pick her up is Li Jing. He looked like he was smiling and not smiling, and said, "Mr. Cheng has a temporary entertainment, let me send you over." ”
Zhou Hezao was used to him like this, and said thank you.
Li actually smiled coldly and got into the car.
I don't know where Cheng Wei is socializing, Li actually took Zhou He around and took her to a club. looked at the time and said, "Mr. Cheng is upstairs, waiting for him here." ”
With that, he walked to the corner of the hall and sat down on the couch.
Zhou He had no choice but to follow, and the thermos bucket she was carrying in her hand was quite eye-catching, attracting a lot of attention.
Li is a frequent customer here, and he is familiar with the waiter manager. He obviously deliberately wanted to embarrass him, and a sneer hung on his lips all the time.
The waiter did not dare to offend her, and poured water for him, but did not pour it for Zhou He.
Zhou Ji didn't care, and tried his best to let himself sit naturally under the inquiring gaze of everyone.
Her face was calm, and after sitting for a while, she glanced at her and beckoned to the manager. He asked, "Is Miss Zeng here today?"
The manager looked flattering and said, "Here, she's not feeling well these days, and she should be resting at this time." ”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Jing's mouth, and he said, "Mr. Cheng can't drink more recently, she is very careful, let her go over with her." She was in Mr. Cheng's eye. ”
His tone was slow. Apparently deliberately.
The manager answered yes and hurried upstairs.
Li actually flipped over the magazine in his hand, looked at Zhou He with a smile, and said, "Socialize, these are inevitable, Miss Zhou won't mind, right?"
He apparently did it on purpose.
Zhou He was still calm and said, "I don't mind. ”
She was obviously not satisfied with what she said, a sneer appeared on her face, and she said in a weird manner: "I can't see that Miss Zhou is quite generous." ”
After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, stopped caring about Zhouhe, and flipped through the magazine in his hand. The magazine was finished by him in a few clicks, and he didn't care about it, and soon got up and went upstairs.
He was obviously deliberately hanging Zhou He, who sat in the hall for more than an hour, and still didn't see Cheng Wei come down.
She didn't wait any longer, and was about to leave, when suddenly there was a commotion in the hall. I don't know why, but the two groups of people in the hall fought.
For a moment, the people in the hall fled in all directions, and the sound of screaming and swearing filled the hall.
Zhou He was squeezed, obviously he was leaving, but he was squeezed inside.
The two groups of people were carrying things and smashing them around, and the slag of the glass bottle splashed on the back of Zhou He's hand, and a small cut immediately appeared on his hand.
She wasn't familiar with this area, and she was forced into a corner and didn't even know where to go.
At this time, Li was like a ghost and didn't know where to come out. He was not in a hurry to leave, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, took out a cigarette and smoked it, snorted, and said, "Miss Zhou's face is so pale, she won't faint, right?"
Zhou He pursed his lips slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern." ”
"You're welcome. Li actually said a word, and said slowly: "If Miss Zhou can't even adapt to this kind of scene, it's best to stay away from Mr. Cheng." Didn't Miss Zhou hear what we said that day? ”
He obviously wanted to make Zhou He retreat.
Zhou He said without raising his head: "Don't worry about it." Seeing that a group of people had made trouble on the other side, she immediately went outside.
Li actually followed her slowly and walked outside.
It was already half an hour after Cheng Wei came down, and the farce was over. It didn't affect the upstairs. Seeing Zhou He standing outside, he looked at the time and walked over quickly. His brows furrowed, and he asked, "Why did you come here when did you come?"
It turned out that he didn't know that she was coming.
Before Zhou He could speak, Li actually said, "I want to call you, Miss Zhou said that you are socializing, please don't disturb you." ”
He told this lie without even blinking an eye.
Cheng Wei glanced at him, took the thermos box in Zhou He's hand, and said, "Don't wait in the future, call me directly." ”
Zhou He nodded. She looked at the time and said, "You're busy, I'll go back first." ”
Cheng Wei raised his wrist to look at the time and said, "I'll send you." ”
The client didn't come down with him, apparently not yet. Zhou He hurriedly said: "No, I'll just go back by myself." There's still a car here. ”
Cheng Wei didn't listen to her at all, and stretched out his hand to ask Li for the car keys.
"You can't drive after drinking, I'll send Miss Zhou back. He was becoming more and more respectful.
"Yes, the customer is still waiting for you. Mr. Li will just send me. Zhou He also said.
Cheng Wei's brows furrowed slightly, but he still nodded. Let Li actually drive slower and be careful on the road. asked Zhou He to call him again.
Zhou He smiled and agreed, and got into the car under Cheng Wei's sight.
Li Jing's goal has been achieved, and he didn't say anything weird when he went back. Sent Zhou He to the door of the house and left.
Zhou He was inexplicably tired, stood at the door for a while, and then walked inside.
As soon as she entered the house, she noticed that something was wrong. But it was too late to get out, and something hard behind her was pressed against her waist. A hoarse voice rang out and said, "If you don't want to die, don't make a sound." ”
No matter how hoarse this voice was, Zhou He could also hear that it was Luo Kaiwen.
Zhou He was still calm and didn't move, but asked coldly, "How did you get in?"
She had checked the door when she left, and neither lock was broken.
Luo Kaiwen was anxious and said, "You don't care how the I got in." Where is Qi Jingran? Call her to me!"
He said that the knife in his hand moved forward, and his expression was hideous and terrifying in the darkness.
He actually had the face to look for Qi Jingran, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhou He's lips, and said, "Do you think I might know where she is?"
Luo Kaiwen was moving anxiously, and said: "You don't play tricks on me, if you don't know where she is taking it, who knows? You must have instructed her to hide." If it weren't for you, how could she leave me?"
He hates. Dare to come over this time, I came to find Qi Jingran to reunite.
After speaking, without waiting for Zhou He to speak, he said viciously: "Call her immediately and let her come to see me." Otherwise, I'll kill you here!"
"I don't know where she is. Zhou He said expressionlessly.
"You didn't know you could call her!" said Luo Kaiwen through gritted teeth.
As soon as his voice fell, the mobile phone in Zhou He's pocket vibrated with a whin.
Luo Kaiwen was startled, the tip of the knife was pressed tightly against Zhou He, and said, "Who called?" Take it out. ”
Zhou He didn't say a word and took out his mobile phone.
Luo Kaiwen probably hoped that this call was made by Qi Jingran, so he immediately came over to take a look. Zhou He took advantage of this opportunity and crashed into him with all his might.
Luo Kaiwen didn't prevent her from making a move, and he was knocked to a stumbling side. Zhou He was about to run immediately, but Luo Kaiwen's movements were very fast at this time, and he suddenly pounced, hugged Zhou He's legs, and dragged her to the ground.
He had been prepared, and while swearing, he immediately took out a rope to tie Zhou He. said viciously: "If Qi Jingran doesn't appear, don't think about leaving." ”
The mobile phone vibrated on the ground, and he originally wanted to kick it to the side, but he temporarily changed his mind, picked it up and hung up the phone directly, and said, "Call Qi Jingran." ”
It was not convenient for the room to be dark, and he didn't worry that Zhou He would escape and be heard. The lights were turned on.
Zhou He was tied against the wall by him, and he closed his eyes without looking at him, and said expressionlessly: "I don't know her phone." ”
"Impossible!" Luo Kaiwen said, and immediately flipped up Zhou He's mobile phone.
There were not many people on Zhou He's mobile phone, Luo Kaiwen found the contact, and when he saw that there was really no Qi Jingran's phone, he became anxious, and the knife rested on Zhou He's neck, and said, "You must know where she is!"
His tone was steadfast.
Zhou He's expression did not change for a moment, and he said indifferently: "I'm sorry, I don't know." Even if I knew, do you think I might tell you?"
The corners of her lips curled up with mockery.
The knife in Luo Kaiwen's hand was thrown to the ground with a snap, and he knelt down in front of Zhou He, slapped his face vigorously, and said, "I was wrong, I wasn't human before." I'll beat myself to relieve your anger, you tell Jing Ran, it's okay to let her come back, I can't live without her, I really can't live without her. ”
His tears were cheap, and as he spoke, tears fell. This face became so fast that people were caught off guard, and Zhou He's face was blank, just looking at him coldly.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Luo Kaiwen kowtowed on the ground again and said, "I was wrong, I really know that I was wrong." I will definitely change it in the future, please let her come back, okay? I will definitely not make her sad again, if she wants to have a child, we will have it. I quit the pills and we had children. ”
His snot and tears fell down together, and he looked so sensational. Zhou He's face was indifferent, and he closed his eyes and leaned against it.
Luo Kaiwen took the sensational route now, and began to recall the bits and pieces of him and Qi Jingran. While talking, he scolded himself for being a ghost who lost his mind, so he didn't cherish her.
It's a pity that Zhou He is not Qi Jingran, and these performances are useless to her. Luo Kaiwen should have taken medicine, a handful of snot and tears, and his thinking was messy. I often skip to another paragraph while talking, but I don't get out of the bitter card.
He was completely immersed in his own world, talking incessantly, not caring what Zhou He was like.
Just as he was talking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Luo Kaiwen became nervous all of a sudden, stretched out his hand to wipe away the snot and tears on his face, stood up numbly, looked at Zhou He vigilantly, and said, "Did you call someone?"
Zhou He's hands and feet were tied, and it was impossible to make a phone call at all. As if he didn't realize it, he stretched out his hand and pulled Zhou He up, put the knife against her neck, and said, "You say, who is outside?"
He is like a mad dog now, Zhou He said coldly: "I didn't go out, how do I know who it is?"
Hearing the word out, Luo Kaiwen immediately became excited and said, "You can't go out." If you don't call her, don't even think about going anywhere. ”
His voice was muffled. As he spoke, he dragged Zhou He inside.
But before he could get far, the door opened. It was Cheng Wei who appeared at the door, and his eyes were deeply heavy.
Luo Kaiwen has been hanging out on Hehuan Street for a long time, where will he not know him. Seeing that his legs were half soft, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Don't come, if you dare to come, don't blame me for being polite." ”
Cheng Wei stopped and said in a deep voice: "Let go of her." ”
Luo Kaiwen shook his head desperately and said, "No, I won't let go! If Qi Jingran doesn't appear, I won't let people go! Don't push me into a hurry, push me into a hurry, I'll kill her first, and then kill myself!"
His teeth clenched, and the knife pressed tightly against Zhou He's throat.
Cheng Wei's fingers clenched tightly and said, "Let her go, I'll find out Qi Jingran." ”
Luo Kaiwen knew that once Zhou He was released, there would be no chips in his hand. He pulled Zhou He back and said, "You call her over." When I saw her, I let her go. ”
Cheng Wei's eyes locked on him, took out his mobile phone, made a call, and ordered: "Find out Qi Jingran." ”
Hearing this, Luo Kaiwen breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and stared at Cheng Wei motionlessly, afraid that he would come.
Cheng Wei quickly hung up the phone and put the phone back. said: "I have already called, and there will be news soon." I didn't bring anyone over, let her go, and I'll take you hostage. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and approached Luo Kaiwen step by step.
Luo Kaiwen was afraid of him, and his teeth chattered.
