Chapter 14: Chewing the Root of the Tongue

I didn't wait for Pei Shaobei to react, I turned around and slammed the door with a "bang". The movement was like flowing water, I leaned against the door with my waist crossed, my whole heart was pounding in a panic, but my mood was inexplicably happy.

It seemed that all the troubles and problems were solved, and I took a shower and fell asleep in a good mood, but my whole head was extremely excited, and I don't know what it was because of it.

For the first time, he gained the upper hand in front of Pei Shaobei, or did he let the moral bondage in his heart be released?

I can't tell, and I don't want to delve into it, because some kind of panic will emerge with this kind of investigation, and I will be timid and empty.

In a person's world, once this feeling is strong, it must bring terrible consequences, and the one-night stand after drinking and the inexplicable refusal yesterday are the facts.

Pei Shaobei never came to me again, and after two days of worry, I stayed at home again, but this time the mood was completely different from the last time, so I didn't make myself very bad.

Cooking soup, reading books, listening to music, those expensive scary face masks also came in handy, and I looked at myself in the mirror in good spirits, and I was in a good mood and almost flew up.

This state made me desperate to step out of the house, so I looked at the weather outside and called Sister Yu.

Sister Yu's language was vague, but I heard the voice of a strange man, and immediately laughed and teased her, and hung up the phone.

It's not spring, but it can be full of flowers. It's not that love collapses in your world, and there is a dead silence everywhere else.

I felt hope and courage coming with the sun, so warm, so beautiful.

I went to the supermarket to buy some food and took a taxi to my parents' clothing store, it was Sunday, but there were not many people in the store, and the sporadic customers made the second elder's face a little bad.

I think the main reason for their bad looks is because of me.

I smiled brightly, my voice was sweet, and I knew I was right when I looked at the happy smiles on my parents' faces.

I forced them to close the door and dragged them all the way home, cooking a table full of dishes.

I poured my father a glass of wine, and when I looked up, I saw his red eyes, and my nose couldn't help but sour.

"Dad, I'm sorry!"

Before I came, I told myself more than once that I would come back to see them in the best condition, and it seemed that I would not be able to do it.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's okay!"

My father reached out and patted my head, and I looked at the white strands that had suddenly grown out of his black hair, and my heart was uncomfortable, and he just took a glass of wine and drank it all.

"We've grown up sooner or later!"

When I first got married, Lin Dong often came to my parents' place for dinner, and then he began to come once and a half a month on the grounds that he was busy with work, and finally only came to sit for a while during the Chinese New Year.

I once told countless lies in front of my parents for him and for my marriage, but now that I think about it, I am really unfilial!

A meal, so many years of forbearance and grievances swallowed into the stomach, my father drank too much, took my hand and babbled nonsense, and finally was dragged back to the bedroom by my mother, I was afraid that my mother would talk again, so I took advantage of this gap to open the door and leave.

It's already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm nervous and orderly at this time of the week, but now......

I have to admit that my longing for that pulpit was far stronger than I thought I was, and a kind of idleness rose from the bottom of my heart.

I went shopping, went to the bookstore, and bought new music discs and a few books related to the professional courses. These things will keep my days at home from being boring and I will have an expectation of when I will go back to school, at least not far from that podium.

I suddenly heard what Pei Shaobei said, is it self-deception or is he deceiving? It seems that I am most accustomed to self-deception!

Laughing self-deprecatingly, he stepped into the community, but saw the person he least wanted to see.

"It's really unlucky, Mom, we have to look at the yellow calendar when we go out in the future, otherwise we will always meet some people who are eyesore, which will not only affect the mood but also be detrimental to the growth of the baby!" Zhang Jiajia stroked his stomach with a provocative face.

Liu Juan held a coat in her hand and hugged Zhang Jiajia's arm, looking a little cautious.

Sure enough, the wicked have their own wicked grinding!

"Hmph, a chicken that can't lay eggs is indeed not conducive to the development of my eldest grandson!" Liu Juan's voice was even more harsh, and a few aunts in the pavilion immediately looked at me with good things, my face was a little red, and I gritted my teeth and said: "Why are you still here?" I warn you, this is my home, if you dare to come over and mess around again, I will call the police!"

"Cut, you report!" Zhang Jiajia raised his chin and raised his finger to a circle, "There are so many households up and down this community, all of them are your Gu Wan's home? Hmph, why didn't I know that you were so wealthy? If that's the case, why did you cry and tear your face over a small house when you divorced? How inconsistent with your rich temperament!"

I was stunned, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that you came here for a walk?"

"My eldest grandson can't always stay at home, isn't he still here to fight with you?" Liu Juan glanced at me, looked at the people around and watched the excitement and added, "Our Adong said, a second-hand goods that can't lay eggs, I don't want Jiajia and I to take it to heart, besides, our Adong is the director of the company, isn't it very simple to buy a house here!"

"Lin Dong bought a house here?" was more surprised and suspicious, with Lin Dong's income, it was impossible for him to afford a house here so quickly.

"What's the matter, can't I live if you live?" Zhang Jiajia's face was a little ugly, and I suddenly understood in my heart. It seems that Zhang Jiajia put pressure on Lin Dong and has to live here. As for whether to rent or buy, why bother.

"What kind of expression do you have?" Maybe the ridicule in my smile was too much, or maybe the other party was sensitive, Zhang Jiajia suddenly raised his hand and pushed me, I was defenseless, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

I took a deep breath and really didn't want to entangle with these people too much, so I straightened the book in my arms and left by mistake. Zhang Jiajia's irritable swearing and Liu Juan's urgent persuasion were faintly heard behind him.

I forgot about this little episode immediately, Pei Shaobei's non-disturbance also made me no longer on guard at all times, no longer deliberately dodging, but I still never met him.

Living in the same building, sometimes it's really like in the TV series, one to the left and the other to the right!

Occasionally, I went downstairs to throw out the garbage, pick up the parcel, or take a walk after dinner, and for three days in a row, I finally noticed something abnormal.

The aunts and aunts in the whole community, and even the housewives who are watching the babies at home, have inquisitive and disdainful expressions when they see me, the atmosphere of gossip comes to the face, and a woman's natural sixth sense is always very accurate, I almost immediately thought of Liu Juan!

On the evening of the fourth day, when I passed by the gazebo in the garden of the community, I heard Liu Juan's passionate words.

"Yes, it's Gu Wan on the ninth floor of Unit 3, it's my son's ex-wife, oops, what a university teacher, you don't know, that cheap woman can do anything unconscionable. On weekdays, my son is busy with work, and when she came back late at night, she actually went to the opposite room to hook up with a wild man, and accused my son of cheating.

"Can't have children?"

"No, can't give birth, the character is still so bad, what normal man is willing to marry a chicken that can't lay eggs, I think she can only be a stepmother for others!"

I felt uncomfortable, but I also knew that theorizing with a group of aunts had no effect at all, and this kind of thing would only get darker and darker. The hand hanging by my side slowly let go, trembling a little because of the force just now, I was about to leave, but suddenly a low, familiar male voice sounded behind me.

"If you say bad things about others behind your back, if the slandered person files a lawsuit, you can hold a court hearing in accordance with the law!"

I looked back and saw that Pei Shaobei was dressed in a suit that was as tall as a pine, walking slowly from the dim street lamp, with deep edges and corners and a steady temperament.

Several people chatting with Liu Juan laughed and laughed when they heard that they were going to go to court, and pulled Liu Juan's arm.

Liu Juan shook a fan and turned her head to look at it, without a trace of guilt for slandering others behind her back.

That's right, how can you expect someone who can make a fuss in courtrooms and schools like a shrew, and how can you expect her to know etiquette and shame.

"You want to scare me, huh, are all barristers convicted of people like this now? Besides, what I said is not the truth!"

"Do you know the facts very well in your heart? Lawyers pay attention to evidence and don't listen to stories! The mere fact of a wild man is enough for me to sue you for slandering other people's reputations! Believe it or not, but whether you do it or not, it's up to me!" Pei Shaobei replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

I suddenly admired him a little, in view of the shadow that Liu Juan caused to me, to be honest, I was a little stunned in my heart when I faced her, this may be the so-called Xiucai meets soldiers!

"Look at the way you two look at each other, dare to say that you don't have a personal relationship to kill me, I don't believe it!" Liu Juan's face was horizontal, and a pair of eyes looked back and forth at me and Pei Shaobei. "I'm surprised, you're a barrister, why do you fall in love with such a second-hand thing, or a second-hand thing that can't lay eggs!"

Liu Juan said this too harshly, and it was in front of Pei Shaobei. This is my weakness, it hurts when I touch it. Especially when facing Pei Shaobei.

I was almost immediately on the verge of running away, not even wanting to care about all the slander I had just heard.

At this moment, a strong arm suddenly reached out and grabbed my waist, forcing me to face it.

I raised my eyes and glared at Pei Shaobei with some annoyance, but the other party was calm.

"Who said that no one wants Gu Wan? Who said that she must be a stepmother with someone? I heard that your son is going to remarry, and I also sent an invitation to Wanwan, just right, our wedding date is also scheduled, and we will exchange gifts when the time comes!"
