In fact, when I said this, I regretted it, what kind of person is Lin Yutang and what is the relationship between me, and what kind of person is Chen Qingchuan looking for now, and what is the relationship with me.
I'm an ex-wife, and my identity is embarrassing, so I shouldn't have interfered in this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that today I not only interfered, but also intervened.
Sure enough, as soon as my words came out, Chen Qingchuan turned to look at me, his expression changed, and he asked in a cold tone: "Who told you this?" β
In fact, I don't know the truth of the matter, but Chen Lina's words have always been true, I can't guess whether he knows, I looked at him, was silent for a few seconds and said: "It was someone else who told me, I just told you." β
I turned around to leave, but Chen Qingchuan grabbed my hand.
I stopped and turned to look at him.
Chen Qingchuan said: "No matter who you listen to this kind of thing, in short, I tell you very clearly, who Yutang is, I know very well in my heart, I hope you don't misunderstand her and slander her because of a few prejudices against her." β
I didn't expect him to think so, and I immediately retorted, "I didn't!" I don't know what kind of person she is, but something-"
Chen Qingchuan interrupted me and said, "Some things are even facts, but they are all her past, what right do I have to mind her past?" And I'm happy with her now, and it doesn't matter to me what kind of person she used to be. β
His eyes fell on me: "Moreover, I can accept your past, let alone Yutang's?" β
The corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, and before I could react from his words, he put down my hand and was about to walk towards the bathroom, I didn't know which of my tendons was wrong, I rushed over to block him again and said, "Is it?" Do I have a bad record? You Chen Qingchuan is very fond of picking up other people's rags, and you say it nicely, you are generous and tolerant, and you don't care, but you can't say it well, aren't people like you habitually picking up other people's broken shoes? For example, me, yes, you can accept me, let alone Lin Yutang's-"
Before I finished speaking, the next second I let out a scream, Chen Qingchuan suddenly dragged me into the bathroom, pressed me to death on the sink, I stared at him with a frightened face, his hand pinched my shoulder, trembling, trembling, his expression looked terrible, his face was terrifying.
I don't know if he hasn't rested well recently, I looked at his eyes carefully, and found that the red bloodshot in his eyes was far more scary than I imagined, he looked into my eyes, I thought he could speak, but who knows, he just tightened his face, his breath rose and fell, and the force in his hand was so heavy that it seemed to crush me.
When I said those words, I basically regretted it, and at this time, I looked at him how dare he talk nonsense and move indiscriminately.
I leaned against the sink and looked at him defensively and fearfully.
He looked at me for a long time, but finally said nothing, let go of me calmly, took a few steps back and said, "You can go." β
His head seemed to ache, and he leaned against the door tiredly, his head tilted up, his eyes closed.
The words just now were indeed a bit excessive, I secretly looked at Chen Qingchuan, his eyebrows formed a Sichuan character, and the whole person leaned against the door and there was no movement.
Faced with such a situation, I felt a little guilty, and I wanted to say something, but I was repeatedly struggling with whether to say sorry.
Chen Qingchuan, who was leaning against the door, opened his eyes, he looked at me, and I subconsciously took a small step back.
Chen Qingchuan got up from the door, straightened up, looked at me with a smile, and then turned around and left from the bathroom.
His clothes were still falling on the ground, and he didn't ask for them, and walked away a little unsteadily.
I stood there, didn't move, after a long time, I picked up the clothes on the ground, just put them on the hanger, I thought about it and quickly went out of the room, chased downstairs, but when I walked downstairs, Jin's mother and aunt were all sitting there looking at me, and the car outside the door was gone.
I stood there stunned for a few seconds.
Auntie pushed Jin Ma over, Jin Ma looked at me but just sighed, she shook her head and said to Auntie, "It's better to push me into the house to rest." β
When my aunt heard this, she said yes, passed by me, and pushed Mother Jin back to the room.
I stood there for a few seconds, slightly annoyed.
I think I can't talk nonsense, why is it still the same as before, I feel a little headache.
Lin Yutang and Chen Qingchuan's affairs are really out of control.
I sighed.
This meal was naturally in the soup, Chen Qingchuan left the old house without eating, and Jin's mother probably knew that the two of us had a quarrel, so she was even less in the mood to eat.
Naturally, I didn't stay long and went straight home.
After returning home, I thought about it all night, but I still felt that I was a little too much, and at eleven o'clock I simply rolled over from the bed and decided to go to Chen Qingchuan to apologize or explain.
As soon as this thought popped up, I couldn't contain it, I simply rolled over from the bed, and then called Chen Qingchuan, no surprise, no one answered there.
I knew that he would not answer my phone at all at this time, so I contacted him on the messaging software and explained to him that those words were all angry words, as for his fiancΓ©e Lin Yutang, I apologized to him, I shouldn't talk nonsense. I
But when the words of apology were sent, there was no response, and I actually had a bold idea, that is, to find Chen Qingchuan.
I grabbed a piece of clothing and hurriedly put it on, and walked outside.
After locking the door, taking the elevator downstairs, and trotting out of the neighborhood to stand on the side of the road, I regretted it.
Where do I go to find him? I don't even know where he lives now, where can I go, and he should have Lin Yutang at home, if he gets there, what can I say when I see her?
I can't even find a suitable excuse for him now, I'm really reckless.
I somehow felt a little ridiculous.
After thinking about it, I decided to go home, but after two steps, I stopped again, and just then a taxi stopped in front of me, and the driver's head poked out of the window and asked me if I wanted to take a taxi.
I hesitated for a few seconds, and I didn't know what I thought, so I opened the door and gave his driver an address.
I almost blurted out that address.
When the driver heard this, he smiled and asked, "Miss, where do you live?" β
I didn't say anything, but when he saw that I didn't want to make small talk, he started the car and drove to the address I had reported.
My head was so cluttered that I stared out the window of the car in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but the car stopped, and the driver said to me, "Miss, is this this the place?" β
I came back to my senses and looked out of the car, yes, I had already arrived downstairs where Chen Qingchuan once lived.
I quickly took out the fare from my pocket and gave it to the driver, and then I got out of the car, I looked up at the floor of the building in front of me, and by this time all the lights were almost all off, I didn't care so much, I just walked in, and then took the elevator upstairs.
After the elevator door opened, I stopped in front of one door.
The door was closed, and there was no light in it, so I reached out and pressed the doorbell, and it was so short that I barely expected anyone to open it.
At this moment, the door opened, I was startled, and immediately looked up to see that the person standing at the door was Lin Yutang.
I was stunned, she was stunned, she looked at me.
The worst scenario still appeared, I stood in front of her a little helpless, she also frowned and looked at me, and asked in a surprised and unfamiliar tone: "It's so late, you... Is there something wrong? β
I immediately said, "Oh, you're living here now?" I thought there was no one here, I came here to pick up something. β
I was making an excuse in a panic, Lin Yutang was wearing pajamas, she looked at me puzzled and asked, "Something?" β
After she finished speaking, she thought of something, probably knowing that I should have been here before, or lived in this house, and it was not strange that there was something here.
She said, "What did you leave here?" I'll help you get it? But when she had finished speaking, she stepped out of the way and said, "Why don't you come in and get it?" I don't know where you want it is, but I don't think I have anything from you. β
In fact, I have rarely been here, let alone things, and it is even more unlikely that something will fall here, but since I have found such an excuse, it looks like it is naturally pretended, after Lin Yutang got out of the door, I walked in, I thought I would see Chen Qingchuan, but I didn't find his voice inside, the house was very quiet, as if Lin Yutang was alone at home.
At this time, Lin Yutang, who was following me, said: "Qingchuan still has something to do today, and he hasn't returned, if you are here to find him, why don't you wait here?" β
Lin Yutang's tone was tentative, and I immediately said, "Oh, no, I really just came over and took things and left." β
I went to the guest room, I didn't expect that there were a few things here that I had a little memory, I took something and came out of the guest room, I smiled at Lin Yutang and said: "This is my parents' favorite ornament, so I want to take it from here, but I didn't expect you to live here." β
The ornament was extremely ordinary, just a glass crystal ball.
Lin Yutang glanced down, she smiled and said, "There shouldn't be anything else, right?" β
I said, "No." β
Lin Yutang answered me another question, she said: "This is Qingchuan's house, and we naturally live here." β
Her words were full of hostility, but there was no hostility on her face, it was as if she had thought too much, but no matter how she listened to it, it was not right.
I looked at her.
She smiled and met my gaze.
I smiled and said, "If you get your hands on something, then I'll go first." β
Lin Yutang said: "I'll send you." β
I immediately stopped and turned to her, "No, you don't have to send me, I know the way here, and I've been here many times." β
Regarding my rebuttal, Lin Yutang just smiled and did not speak.
I didn't want to stay here any longer, so I said to her, "Don't bother Miss Lin, then I'll go first." β
She didn't stay, and said directly: "Okay, then you go slowly." β
I smiled, and walked away from her.
And Lin Yutang didn't send me again, and after I got out of the house, he closed the door directly.
It seems that Lin Yutang is really unhappy about me coming here in the middle of the night.
It was also because I was reckless and impulsive, and I came here on impulse, so I took the elevator and left again.
I wanted to go back, but when I got into a taxi, the driver asked me where I was going, and I hesitated.
Go home? But I didn't even think about going home at such a late hour, but where else could I go so late?
I looked at the sky outside that had completely settled, pondered for a while, and then said to the driver, "Let's go to Nan'an Villa." β
Then I got into the car, and after about a second or two of getting to the car, I reflected, "Why am I going?"
Am I crazy?
I immediately wanted to ask the driver to change the place, but the driver turned a corner and started driving towards the place I said. I put up with the words that came to my mouth and endured them again.
I simply sat in silence behind the car, thinking that there should be no one living there, that is the Xu family's property, after I divorced Chen Qingchuan, he should not go there again, his parents and his sister will definitely not live there anymore, it seems that it is nothing to go there.
Thinking of this, I simply sat there calmly and closed my eyes to rest, and let the driver drive.
It's okay to go over there and look at the house to pass the time.
It's quite far from here to the new house, it takes about half an hour to arrive, and when I arrived, I still gave the driver the money and got out of the car.
After the driver left, my first reaction was to look up at the house behind me, and sure enough, the whole villa was in darkness in the night, indicating that it was uninhabited.
The trees in the courtyard of the villa were so green that they covered most of the house, and I went up the steps and stopped at the gate.
The door is electronically locked and fingerprinted, and I haven't been here in two years, and I don't know if I'll be able to get in now.
I held the heart to give it a try, reached out and tried the fingerprint, almost another drop, the door opened instantly, but I was stunned for a few seconds in the face of such a situation, it turned out that the lock here was not changed, I was stunned there.
But soon I came back to my senses and pushed the door directly and walked in, it was dark inside, because I didn't turn on the lights, and I basically couldn't see anything, I groped around inside, and I touched the light switch, and the lights turned on instantly.
The inside was not as bad as expected, on the contrary, it was even clean, as if someone had cleaned it regularly, and there was no dust on the furniture.
I walked around the house, in fact, I don't know what I came here for, just subconsciously walked upstairs, arrived here very late, I entered a few rooms, found that they were quite tidy, and walked towards the bedroom, and when I arrived there I pushed the door open, it was still dark, I was very accurate to find the light switch, directly pressed on, I wanted to go to bed to rest,
But who knows, there was a person lying on the bed, I was so startled that I almost screamed, but fortunately, I restrained myself and immediately retreated.
The person lying on the bed didn't know if he wasn't awake or what, he was lying on his side and didn't move, and I couldn't see his face, only the person under the quilt.
I subconsciously walked towards the bed, I was a little unsure who lived here, and when I arrived at the bedside, the person I saw was Chen Qingchuan.
I didn't expect to see him here, didn't he live in the same apartment he used to have? How could it be in this bed.
He seemed to be asleep, and did not even react to my arrival, still lying there with his eyes closed.
At this time, I didn't know what to do, I stood there stunned for a few seconds, and after reacting, I turned around and left, but after taking two steps, the person lying on the bed actually said: "Water." β
I stood again, and I thought he was awake, so I looked back and saw that he was still lying there, as if in a dream.
I stood there and watched, and the tip of my nose was the strong smell of alcohol in the room.
I hesitated there again and again, but I quickly went downstairs to pour water for Chen Qingchuan, I thought it would be boiled, but who knew that the water in the kettle was hot.
I took the cup of water at just the right temperature and pondered, it doesn't look like no one lives here, could it be that Chen Qingchuan has always lived here?
But didn't Lin Yutang say that he didn't return? Then it stands to reason that you should live in that apartment.
I can't tell what the situation is, after pouring the water, I didn't go directly to the bedroom, but trotted and went to the study again, sure enough, there were a lot of documents piled up in it, and the lamp on the table was still on, and no one came to turn it off.
When I saw the study, I could basically conclude that he should have lived here for a long time, because he worked here, and there were obviously people in the study who came often.
I couldn't say how I felt when I stood there, and turned around and exited the study, I was about to turn around and go to the bedroom with water to Chen Qingchuan, but who knows, when I turned around, there was a person standing behind me.
It's an aunt with clothes draped over her shoulders and a sleepy face, an aunt who used to take care of me in this villa.
She didn't expect it, and neither did I, and we both stared blankly at each other.
After my aunt saw that it was me, she immediately walked over to me and called in a trembling voice, "Madam." β
Her first reaction was to grab my hand, and I was holding a glass of water in my hand, but she was slightly excited by her movements, pushed out of my palm, and fell to the ground.
Auntie didn't care so much, but said excitedly, "Why are you back?" Why didn't you tell us when you came back, ma'am?! β
I was stunned, I didn't expect Chen Qingchuan to be here before, and now I didn't expect that the aunt who took care of me before would also be here, I looked at it in a daze for a few seconds.
When my aunt saw that I was standing there and did not move, she shook my hand and said, "Madam, you are talking!" β
I hurriedly replied, "IβI'll just come over and take a look, I thought there was no one here." β
When the aunt heard this, she immediately said, "Why is there no one here?" Sir has always lived here, and this house hasn't changed since you left here. β
This is the first time she saw me since I returned to China, she looked me up and down with joy and cried, and said, "Sir has drunk a lot of wine today, so I rested early, I just heard the sound upstairs and thought it was Mr. got up, but I didn't expect you to come here." β
It's a bit embarrassing, I don't know what to do in such a situation, but my intuition tells me, no, I can't stay here, and suddenly being here is really embarrassing and unexplainable.
I was stunned for a while, and then the very happy aunt said: "Auntie, I still have something to do, I have to go first, you go and get busy, really don't worry about me, I'll come here to have a look, I really didn't expect you to live here." β
I turned around and was about to leave, but before I had walked a few steps, I saw Chen Qingchuan in pajamas standing behind us.
The aunt didn't expect him to wake up, she immediately walked towards Chen Qingchuan again, and said with a smile: "Sir, are you awake?" She happily told him, "Madame is back!" β
I almost didn't dare to look up at Chen Qingchuan, although this property belonged to the Xu family, belonged to me, and had nothing to do with Chen Qingchuan, but at this time, my appearance was a little ridiculous, like a thief sneaking in, and Chen Qingchuan was the owner of the thief.
I think I must have had my head pumped tonight.
Chen Qingchuan looked at me standing here without saying a word, with a slightly cold expression.
I kept my head down, and suddenly no one spoke in the hallway.
The words that the aunt said with great joy did not get a response from Chen Qingchuan.
The atmosphere was very weird, my aunt noticed it, she looked back and forth between us, looked at it for a while, in order to end this strange atmosphere, I decided to speak, I said to my aunt: "I'll come and see, since you live here, then I won't bother, the house is empty here, it's good for someone to live, anyway, it's useless for me to take it, I won't bother much." β
After I finished speaking, I lowered my head and walked quickly and silently forward.
The staircase was behind Chen Qingchuan, so I had to pass by him to go down the stairs and leave here.
Chen Qingchuan, who was standing there in pajamas, looked at me and said, "Come to inspect the Xu family's property in the middle of the night?" He said with a smile: "I forgot that this house does belong to Miss Xu's name, but it seems that I am illegally occupying it." β
I stopped and looked up at him.
His face was very tired and a little pale, but his expression was still cold and arrogant.
I could hear the sarcasm in his words, and I didn't want to bother with him, so I kept walking, trying to pass him quickly.
But who knew that Chen Qingchuan actually clamped my wrist with his backhand, I was stunned and looked up at him.
He said to his aunt with a tense face, "Go down." β
Auntie didn't expect this to be the case, the more frightened she became, but she reacted very quickly, so she immediately nodded and said, "Okay." He hurried out of the hallway and went downstairs.
My wrist struggled in the palm of his hand, and I said, "You let go of me, Chen Qingchuan." β
But he didn't let go, he held on to my wrists, and dragged me to the bedroom, I was startled, struggled more and more fiercely, and shook his hand hard and said, "You let go of me!" Chen Qingchuan! Let go! β
But who knew that he threw me the bed with his backhand.
The bed was soft, I was almost thrown on top by him, the force of my body pressed down, and my whole body fell into the futon that still carried Chen Qingchuan's body temperature.
I immediately sat up and looked up at him.
Chen Qingchuan didn't look at me either, after throwing me on the bed, he didn't know where to find a pack of cigarettes, he sat down on the sofa not far away, then lit a cigarette for himself, sat there with his long legs folded, and said to me: "Say, what are you doing here, you suddenly came in the middle of the night to miss our past?" β
He had a cigarette in his fingertip and chuckled at me on the bed.
I don't know why I was a little annoyed, and my previous apologies for him were swept away.
I sneered: "You are really cheeky, I will come to my house, is there a problem?" But you still live in our house, don't you think you have a problem? How can I say that you live here and can't forget my ex-wife? β
