Chapter 176: Decent
She had heard Chen Man say that after she and Su Muhang got married, she secretly rented the house back.
Because it carries the memories of her and Sisi for several years, she has feelings for it.
promised to take a taxi to the hotel where he parked yesterday, put Xingxing on the safety seat, and went to the place where Chen Man rented before with the mentality of giving it a try.
knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response from inside, and just when Xu Xu thought that Chen Man was not there, the door opened from the inside.
Xu Yu didn't see Chen Man, looked down and saw Sisi's cute little face.
"Godmother, how did you know we were here? Tell my mother, I don't know what's wrong with her, and she's been crying since she came here, and she said we're going to live here in the future. Sisi said with a worried face.
Xu promised to know that Chen Man must have said these words because of that photo, and pulled out a smile, "Sisi, don't worry, it's good for your aunt to talk to your mother, and you can play with your brother." ”
While talking, Xu Promise walked in, put Xingxing in front of the living room table, and let him hold on to the table to practice walking.
When Chen Man heard his daughter's words, he knew that the promise was coming, and he was a little surprised that the promise could find here, but he didn't come out to greet him.
Xu Promise pushed open the door and saw Chen Man standing in front of the window, his back arrogant and straight.
Promise closed the door and cleared his throat, "Manman, please trust me, things are not what you imagined. ”
Hearing the voice of the promise and thinking of that photo, Chen Man's heart ached.
She never imagined that one day, she and Promise would have such a scene.
Thinking of the countless times that Xu has promised to help her countless times, she is really grateful for Xu Xu and regards Xu as the most important friend in her life.
No matter what she asked her for, she could give it to her without hesitation, but why should she be entangled with Su Muhang after she got married?
Chen Man turned around slowly, looking at Xu Promise with a cold gaze, "You said that the kissing photo of my husband and my best friend appeared in the Jiangcheng Express, what should I think?" ”
This is the first time that Xu Yu has seen Chen Man's cold and detached gaze on her, and the pain in her heart is no lighter than the one given to her by Gu Moyan.
"Manman, we've been friends for so many years, do you think I'm going to do something that makes you sad?"
Looking at Xu Promise's eyes full of pain, Chen Man's eyes showed unbearability, "Okay, I'll give you a chance to explain, why do you say there is such a photo?" ”
"If you read the newspaper, you should also see the photos of Xingxing and Tong Xue celebrating their birthdays together."
After being reminded of the promise, Chen Man remembered the photo, yesterday was Xingxing's birthday, and Xingxing didn't celebrate his birthday with the promise.
"Gu Moyan is so hateful, on the first birthday of Xingxing, he actually took Xingxing away to spend it with Tong Xue? It's too much. Chen Man said angrily.
Seeing Chen Man's grievances for her, Xu Yu felt sour in his heart, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Who said it wasn't, yesterday was the first birthday in Xingxing's life, as a mother, of course, I hope to spend it with my children, but he took Xingxing and other women together, I can't accept this fact, I looked for it in the hotel club in Manjiang City, and was treated as a thief by the hotel people, just Su Muhang was also there, he helped me out of the siege, saying that there are many people and great power, he and I will look for it together, it will be faster, I want to find Xingxing as soon as possible, so I didn't refuse his kindness......"
Xu Promise told him a rough overview of what happened, and looked at Chen Man sincerely, "Manman, I swear to you with my life, I will never betray the friendship between us, if there is a betrayal, I will be ...... by God." ”
Chen Man quickly covered his promised lips, and said with distressed eyes: "Fool, don't talk nonsense, I believe in you, I believe that you will never betray our friendship." ”
She really believed in the promise, but she didn't believe in Su Muhang.
Even the promise can find here, but Su Muhang didn't come to her, which shows that in Su Muhang's heart, she is not important at all.
Xu Promise looked at Chen Man gratefully, "Manman, thank you for believing in me." ”
"You fool, what happened so seriously yesterday, why didn't you tell me, how uncomfortable you must be alone, didn't you sleep all night last night?" Chen Man asked distressedly.
"I really can't sleep, so I took the medicine you gave me, the calming effect of the medicine is really good, I fell asleep when I took it for less than half a day, and I want to thank you for giving me a chance to sleep well, I haven't had a good night's sleep for almost a month." Promise the word of gratitude with a grateful gaze.
"Although it is a sedative medicine, you should not take too much, it is a medicine that is poisonous, and if you eat too much, you will be dependent!" Chen Man said with a serious gaze.
Promise nodded, "I know, I won't eat more." ”
Chen Man sighed lightly, "Gu Moyan has gone too far now, what are you going to do?" ”
At the mention of Gu Moyan, a deep pain flashed in Xu Yue's eyes, "I, him and I, have signed a divorce." ”
Chen Man looked at Xu Promise in shock, "What?" Divorced so soon? Didn't you say that you love him very much, will do everything you can to keep him, and will definitely not divorce? ”
A bitter smile appeared on Xu Nuo's delicate face, "Manman, I overestimate my ability to bear it too much, I thought that no matter what he did, I would not waver in my determination to be with him, when I woke up all over Jiangcheng yesterday, I found out that I would rather leave him than have no children, and continue to entangle with him, I am still embarrassed and sad, so I don't want to be entangled anymore." ”
"Divorce or not, in a family without love, the child will not be happy, you take him, but you can make him grow up happily, what are you going to do next? But don't worry, the child support given to you by Gu Moyan should be enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing, you have taken care of Gu Moyan all these years, and you have to manage the company, it's really too hard, take a few years of rest, and when you wake up and grow up, it's not too late to go out to work when you can go to kindergarten. ”
"I didn't ask him for a penny except to wake up, oh, and take the little car I bought with my own salary!" Xu Yu lowered his head a little weakly, not daring to look at Chen Man's eyes.
She knew that for the sake of her self-esteem and pride, she chose to leave the house without any money, Chen Man would definitely be very angry, saying that she would die to save face and suffer crimes, and she was used to living a superior life since she was a child, and she didn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt were.
Sure enough, Chen Man looked at the promise with shocked eyes, and looked at the promise with an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel.
"Promise, are you too stupid? Digu Group has so much money, you and Gu Moyan divorced, even if you don't have branch property, you don't even want child support, you really haven't had a hard life, I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, how will you live in the future? ”
promised to know that Chen Man, who had lived a hard life since he was a child, had the most say in his perception of money, and he also knew that if she divorced if she didn't want anything, the road in the future would be very difficult.
But she wanted to see, how hard it was to walk?
Promise felt that with her ability to work, it should not be a problem to feed her and wake up!
"Of course I know the importance of money, but I want to leave with dignity, for a long time, you don't have to worry about me, I can definitely live a good life." Xu Yu shook Chen Man's hand and smiled.
"Leave with dignity, and it won't take long for you to find that face is the most useless thing in the world, you can't fill your hunger when you're hungry, and you can't keep warm when you're cold." Chen Man's eyes were helpless and distressed.
"I'll earn the bread myself, and I can buy the quilt myself, so trust me!" Xu Promise smiled confidently.
"Being kicked out penniless, and still laughing, I really convince you, your house is worth the bank, where do you live now?"
"I won't be able to find a suitable house for a while, so I'll stay at the Manson Hotel next to your hospital for the time being, and then move in when I find a house."
Chen Man knew that it was a hotel, because it was next to the hospital, the asking price was not cheap, and the cheapest price was more than 300 yuan a night, which was nothing at all for the previous promise, but now she is out of the house, and every penny has to be spent.
"I'm more experienced than you in finding a house, I'll accompany you to find a house tomorrow, look for a job, and wait for this Spring Festival to find it!"
Xu Promise nodded, and said with a grateful smile in his eyes: "Okay, thank you, Manman!" ”
"Fool, thank you, if you hadn't been encouraging me and supporting me before, my life would have been unimaginably hard, but now that you are in trouble, I should help you."
Chen Man was worried about the promise, so he had to go to see the environment of the hotel together.
The two drove separately and arrived at the hotel one after the other.
Xu Promise hugged and woke up, Chen Man took Sisi by the hand, and as soon as the four of them walked to the hotel, a staff member walked up to Xu Promise.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xu, our hotel can't provide you with housing, this is your luggage and money."
Chen Man said with a displeased expression: "Your hotel opens the door to do business, why can't you let Xu Promise live?" ”
"I'm sorry, this is an order passed down by the leader, we are just carrying out the order, please don't embarrass us." The staff said with a guilty expression.
"Call your leader, and I'll ask him why?"
Looking at the cold air on Chen Man's body, this kind of Chen Man made Xu Promise feel a little strange, Chen Man was gentle and touching at any time in the past, but now it invisibly gives people a sense of distance.
Thinking of Su Muhang in the past, only when facing her, he would smile sunny and warm, and he was as cold as frost when facing others, and he was described as a man with facial paralysis by people who didn't know him.
It seems that during the period of living with Su Muhang, Chen Man was also assimilated by Su Muhang unconsciously.
"Manman, let's go!" Xu promised to take the salute and deposit from the staff, "I know who won't let me live." ”
In this Jiangcheng, apart from Gu Moyan, there will be no second person who embarrasses her like this.
Seeing that Xu Promise was holding Xingxing and carrying the gift box, Chen Man hurriedly chased after him, "Nuo Nuo, who won't let you live?" As he spoke, he took the gift box in his hand.
Walking out of the hotel and looking at the already dark sky outside, a heavy pain flashed in Xu Yue's eyes, "He said to let me leave Jiangcheng, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless that he wouldn't even let our mother and son stay in the hotel." ”
"Is it Gu Moyan?" Chen Man's eyes were shocked and angry, "He's really too much, just force you to divorce, and drive you out of Jiangcheng?" What an out-and-out scumbag, Nuonuo, don't be afraid, if you stay at my house tonight, I don't believe he is so capable! ”
"No need, I'll go check out other hotels!" Promise to refuse without thinking about it.
Chen Man knew that Xu Yu didn't want her to misunderstand, so he kept his distance from Su Muhang.
"Nuo Nuo, it was me who was wrong before, you are such a good and upright person, I shouldn't doubt you like that, I made such a fuss this morning, Mu Hang must think that I am a cautious person, please give me a chance, let me help you, and let Mu Hang change my impression of me, okay? I asked you to live with me at home, not for you, but for you to help me make a good impression in front of Mu Hang, Nuonuo, please, okay? ”
Chen Man knew that if he promised to live at her house, he would not agree, so he changed his persuasion method.
Sure enough, hearing Chen Man say this, Xu Promise had a look of hesitation on his face.
Of course, she hopes that Chen Man will have a happy marriage, not like her, who once fell in love to the point of ignoring life and death, but now that she is divorced, she is so indifferent and ruthless that she forces you to die.
"Okay!"
After agreeing to Chen Man, he regretted the promise a little, and always felt that the decision to go to Chen Man's house to live at this time was wrong.
But if she regretted what she promised, she was afraid that Chen Man would be unhappy.
……
When Su Muhang returned home and pushed the door open, he heard his daughter's crisp voice.
"Brother, my Peppa Pig is for you to play, do you like it?"
Brother?
Got a guest at home?
Su Muhang changed his shoes faster, walked out of the hallway, and saw that in the dollhouse, Sisi and Xingxing were playing, which made Su Muhang's eyes startled.
How could Wake Up be here?
"Mu Hang, you're back!" Chen Man's gentle voice sounded.
Su Muhang looked for prestige and saw Chen Man standing in the kitchen, while next to her stood Promise.
Xu Yu smiled a little awkwardly at Su Muhang, and sure enough, her decision was wrong.
In the past, in the hospital, the three of them were often in the same ward, and they didn't feel embarrassed, but now they stay in the same room, but they don't even feel right to breathe.
Maybe the hospital and home are in a different environment, and in addition, she has just divorced and her identity is not the same, which causes her feelings!
"Promise, why are you here?" Su Muhang's voice couldn't be controlled by surprise.
"I asked her to come to our house for one night." Chen Man said with a smile.
Su Muhang glanced at Chen Man suspiciously, then looked at Xu Promise, and asked in a serious voice: "With your character, you will never live here if you are not forced to do it, what happened?" ”
Without waiting for Xu to answer, Chen Man said angrily: "It's all that Gu Moyan, he is really excessive, he hurt Nuo Nuo to nothing, just force her to divorce, and ask her to leave Jiangcheng, Nuo Nuo lives in a hotel, and he also lets people not let her live." ”
Although she promised to know that Chen Man was complaining about her, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she said her embarrassment so nakedly.
Su Muhang's handsome face was full of shock, anger and anger, and then he looked at Xu Promise with a calm gaze.
"Don't be afraid, even if you live here with peace of mind, I don't believe that Gu Moyan can be so domineering in Jiangcheng that he can cover the sky with one hand."
Seeing Su Muhang say this, Xu Yu hurriedly said: "I'll stay for one night today, and I'll go to find a house tomorrow, I'm not used to living in other people's families." ”
Su Muhang hurriedly said: "You just treat this place as your own home, don't feel restricted!" After speaking, he felt that Chen Man would be uncomfortable listening to it, and said again: "Chen Man told me about the previous things, if you didn't help their mother and daughter, their lives would be very difficult, and now that you are in trouble, no matter what we do for you, it should be, right, Chen Man?" ”
Su Muhang's expression of eagerness to express help to the promise made Chen Man feel very uncomfortable, but Chen Man still said with a smile: "What Mu Hang said is that I used to think that I couldn't repay your kindness in this life, but I didn't expect the world to change, so I had the opportunity to repay the favor, although this way of repaying the favor is not what we want to see, but since it happened, we have to face it, Nuo Nuo, before you find a house, you can live here with peace of mind, and you will wake up to accompany Sisi, and I don't have to worry about her watching TV at home every day and seeing her eyes bad!" ”
Seeing that Su Muhang and Chen Man both said this, they promised that they didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, she knew that if she persisted, they wouldn't let her leave.
She thought in her heart, she will go to find a house tomorrow, even if she can't find a house, she won't come to Chen Man's house again.
"The child still needs to have a companion, so she will be happier, Sisi is also so old, you can give her a younger brother and sister to accompany her." Promise smiled and changed the subject.
"Sisi often says that she wants us to give her a younger brother, but her requirements are too high, and she has to let us give birth to someone who is exactly as handsome as Xingxing, where do you think we can do this?" Chen Man smiled helplessly.
"What is the concept of handsomeness for children, as long as it is born by you, she likes it."
"Yes, but I think one is enough, if you have two children, you have to share your love with the other, and when the time comes, Sisi will feel wronged again, Mu Hang, are you right?"
A hint of nervousness flashed in Chen Man's eyes, although she said so, deep down she still hoped to have a second child between the two.
After all, Sisi was conceived without his knowledge when he was drunk, and the second child was the crystallization of their emotions.
Of course, even if she has a second child, she will not be partial, and she will be the same unreservedly Aisisi.
"You're right, one child is enough."
Although he had predicted the answer and really heard Su Muhang's answer, Chen Man still felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.
Xu Xu, who was standing with Chen Man, obviously felt the stiffness of Chen Man's body, and knew that Su Muhang's answer made her sad.
When a woman says she doesn't want a second child, it's not the same as hearing from a man that she doesn't want a second child, not to mention, it's still in front of her ex.
For the 99th time, he regretted agreeing to Chen Man's request to come here.
"Mu Hang, do you think these dishes are enough to eat at night? Would you like to add two more? Chen Man asked with a smile as he pointed to the side dishes prepared for cooking on the plate in front of him.
Su Muhang took a look, "So many dishes are enough!" ”
"Okay, I'll start stir-frying, you go sit on the couch for a while, and you'll be ready for dinner soon." Chen Man said gently.
"You go with the children, I'll stir-fry." Su Muhang lowered his head and rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, walked into the kitchen sink to wash his hands, then picked up a spatula, heated the pan with oil, stir-fried the vegetables, and did it in one go.
Looking at Su Muhang's appearance of cooking, a touch of pain quickly flashed in Chen Man's eyes.
In the past few months of marriage, Su Muhang has never cooked a dinner, and as soon as he promised to come today, he took the initiative to ask for cooking.
Su Muhang, can you not show your love for the promise so obviously?
In the past, he promised to often enjoy the dishes made by Gu Moyan, but when he saw Su Muhang's skillful cooking action, he thought that he often cooked it for Chen Man, so he didn't think much about it, thinking that Chen Man said that he wanted Su Muhang to see her good, so he smiled and said: "You two husbands and wives are busy, so I will be a shopkeeper and wait for delicious food." After saying that, he turned around and walked to the dollhouse to play with the children.
Su Muhang burned the vegetables, put them on a plate, and said to Chen Man without raising his head: "Disperse, take it to the table." ”
After holding it for a while, seeing that Chen Man did not react, Su Muhang looked up at Chen Man and saw her standing there in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Su Muhang asked with concern.
Chen Man hurriedly recovered from the pain and hurriedly took the plate in Su Muhang's hand, "It's nothing, you continue to burn!" ”
Su Muhang obviously felt that something was wrong with Chen Man, but thinking that the promise was not far away, he didn't ask and continued to cook.
An hour later, the eight dishes were cooked as soon as they were cooked, and several people sat down at the table to eat, because there were children, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and there was no embarrassment at all.
After promising to eat a good meal, he took Xingxing to the guest room to sleep on the grounds that he was tired of waking up.
Chen Man arranged for Xu to sleep in the upstairs guest room, and Xu Yu didn't want to disturb them, so he insisted on living downstairs.
After Chen Man walked out of the room, he promised to lock the door.
Looking at the awakening sitting on the bed and playing, the first time to taste the life under the fence, it is very unpleasant.
Chen Man cleaned up the kitchen and went upstairs, and saw that Su Muhang was looking for something in the cabinet in his daughter's bedroom, and Sisi, who had already taken a bath, was sitting on the bed in pajamas and watching cartoons on the tablet.
"Looking for what?" Chen Man asked suspiciously.
Su Muhang said while looking for it: "The sheet in the downstairs guest room is a little hard to wake up, where did you put the rabbit blanket I bought for Sisi on a business trip from the UK last time?" Find it out and send it to Wake Up. ”
Chen Man felt a pain in his heart, the rabbit blanket was very beautiful and expensive, Sisi loved it very much, he was reluctant to use it, and said that he wanted to keep it well, and he actually wanted to take it for Xingxing.
Did he forget, was it a gift he gave to his daughter?
"Su Muhang, in front of his daughter? Can you not be so obvious? Chen Man's voice trembled and he snorted.
Su Muhang stopped looking for it and looked at Chen Man in confusion, "What do you mean?" ”
"What do I mean, you know very well in your heart, I know that you promised to divorce, and your heart is ready to move again, but now that I am still your wife, even if you don't care about my feelings, can you not show so eagerness and concern for others in front of Sisi?"
Chen Man's words made Su Muhang's face show a touch of shock, "Chen Man, what nonsense are you talking about?" You promised her to come to live in the house, she is now the most difficult time in her life, as a friend, you should comfort her and care for her, how can I be cranky because I care a little about waking up? In that case, why did you invite her to live in your house? ”
Why did you invite Promise to live in your home?
I probably want to see it with my own eyes, so that I can completely die!
Chen Man was shocked, how could she become so terrifying?
