Chapter 157: A Woman's Stratagem
Ruikang hadn't figured out how to explain to the big family outside, he lowered his head in annoyance, Hu Xiaofen's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said loudly: "Ruikang, this is our child!" I didn't lie to you, look at his eyebrows, is it very similar to you?! ”
Her voice is much higher than common sense, Zhou Ruikang knows her intentions, she wants everyone outside the door to hear, and her angry cheeks are bulging, but he also understands in his heart that the time to settle accounts has come, the storm that should come will always come, and the debts that should be repaid must always be repaid.
Ruikang hugged the child, walked to the door of the study, and opened the door in silence.
Everyone poured into the study, and the questions were higher and higher, only Cheng Jiaqi leaned against the bookcase, looking at this scene coldly, her husband once again held the child born with another woman, hehe, she just looked at Hu Xiaofen roughly, with a good face, a well-proportioned figure, a face of ambition and fighting spirit, she looked at Ruikang's eyes were full of possession, it was obvious that she loved him, and she wanted to possess this man.
Jiaqi raised her eyes again and looked at Ruikang, who was holding the child tightly, he looked very troubled and painful, but the hand holding the child was so firm, her heart was sad for a while, she knew that Ruikang's heart had accepted the child.
She couldn't help but think of Mei Ruojun who was far away in Beijing, hehe, poor herself, poor Mei Ruojun, more than ten years of struggle, entanglement, jealousy, like a ridiculous farce, and finally there was another Hu Xiaofen.
"Ruikang, who is this girl? Who is the baby you are holding? What is the relationship with you? Mrs. Cheng was more nervous than her daughter, urging Zhou Ruikang to make things clear.
Master Zhou also guessed most of it in his heart, looking at the pink and interesting little boy in Ruikang's arms, he was very happy in his heart, but because of the second elder of the Cheng family, it was not good to recognize each other immediately.
Ruikang sighed, handed the child back to Hu Xiaofen, and said, "You go, I won't accept you." ”
Hu Xiaofen was stunned for a moment, and her brain immediately began to spin rapidly, and she stayed for two seconds, and suddenly hid her face and cried: "I know you won't accept me, I know I'm not worthy of you, but, but the child is always the blood of your Zhou family, can you bear to let him wander outside and be bullied?" ”
"Ruikang! What the hell is going on? Mrs. Cheng had already pulled off her face, and Master Cheng was in a wheelchair, trembling with anger, and raised her hand with difficulty and pointed at Ruikang.
Ruikang sat weakly in the sofa chair next to him and whispered, "I'm sorry, Dad, Mother, Jiaqi, this kid ...... It's mine. ”
"What!" Mrs. Cheng's face turned pale with anger, and her lips trembled and said, "Zhou Ruikang, you, are you worthy of our Jiaqi?" ”
Old Man Cheng was just panting there, and his mouth seemed to be about to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
Master Zhou hurriedly came up to play the round: "In-laws, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I think Ruikang is young and ignorant, and he just did something wrong for a while." ”
Master Zhou looked at the little baby boy was completely overjoyed, his face couldn't hide the joy, his eyes narrowed, his mouth couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he couldn't help but step forward from Hu Xiaofen's arms, carefully picked up the little baby, hugged it tightly in his arms, looked at it carefully, and sure enough, the child's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Ruikang, pink and tender, very cute, and couldn't help but kiss it.
When Hu Xiaofen saw Master Zhou's expression, she was even more sure in her heart, stood up, deliberately walked to Master Zhou's side, teased the child and said, "Call grandpa!" This is Grandpa! ”
The child hadn't recovered from the fright, and his tears hadn't dried yet, just burping and sobbing.
Master Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll shout after a while." Hehe. ”
Zhou Ruikang looked at his father's joyful appearance, remembering the scene of Nian An being thrown to the ground, it was a cone of pain, he had nothing to say, his life was like a farce, a mess, he sat in the sofa chair in pain, supported the armrests, supported his forehead, and shook his head gently.
Maybe anyone, anything will go in the opposite direction to the extreme, at this time, Zhou Ruikang has a kind of idea of breaking the can and breaking the can, everything has gone out of control, what else can he do? Drove Hu Xiaofen's mother and son away? It's impossible to look at my father's appearance. Whatever, let everyone do what they want.
Master Zhou walked up to the second elder of the Cheng family with the child in his arms and said: "In-laws, I know that this matter is not in accordance with the rules, it stands to reason that Ruikang should first ask for Jiaqi's consent before marrying his aunt's wife, but you see, this is ...... This...... The children have all been born, how can it be the blood of our Zhou family...... In-laws, Jiaqi will always be the eldest daughter-in-law of our Zhou family, and she is Ruikang's original partner, this is a fact that will not change, you don't have to worry, Ruikang is a loving and righteous person, and he will not live up to Jiaqi. ”
"Affectionate and righteous? Jiaqi has been waiting for him for seven years, and now this kind of thing is happening? Don't say hello to our Jiaqi, your Zhou family is too bullying. Thinking that her daughter had been snubbed for so many years, Mrs. Cheng burst into tears angrily: "I think that at the beginning, I would get engaged and withdraw from the marriage, and I would have reversed myself, I knew that this marriage was not good, if it wasn't for Jiaqi's insistence, I wouldn't have agreed." Now, sure enough, ......" Mrs. Cheng glared at Ruikang angrily. Ruikang just kept his head down and didn't say anything.
In the gorgeous study, there was silence, except for the sound of children sobbing and hiccups. After a while, Master Cheng sat in a wheelchair and muttered a few words to Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng frowned, thought for a moment, nodded, and said helplessly: "My master said, Jiaqi is already a member of your Zhou family, and let your Zhou family handle the affairs of your Zhou family." ”
The second elder of the Cheng family said this, in fact, he has agreed to Concubine Ruikang, they are all from the older generation, Master Cheng also had two aunts and wives when he was young, but he died one after another, so he has no objection to taking concubines, besides, the children are all born, and they don't accept the house, and they go outside to make noise, which is not a decent thing, but will discredit his daughter's reputation.
Mrs. Cheng pushed Master Cheng's wheelchair, slowly walked out of the study, and when she passed by the bookcase, she glanced at her daughter Jiaqi regretfully, patted her daughter's hand, and sobbed: "Daughter, my mother knows your grievances, but the matter has come to this, so be generous." ”
Jiaqi was very calm, patted her mother's hand in turn and said, smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, mother, you push your father back to the room first." I'll take care of my own business. ”
Mrs. Cheng sighed, shook her head, and pushed Master Cheng away.
There was silence in the study again, and Master Zhou held the baby and asked Hu Xiaofen: "Have you chosen a name?" ”
Hu Xiaofen said with a smile: "I only gave a nickname, called Rui Rui, and I also followed the name of Ruikang." Let's wait for grandpa to pick it up. ”
When Zhou Ruikang heard her say this, he only felt goosebumps all over his body, snorted coldly, patted his thigh, stood up without saying a word, raised his leg and walked out of the study.
"Ruikang!" Master Zhou stopped him, after all, it was his father who called him, and Ruikang had to stop.
"How are you going to settle Miss Hu?"
"I don't know, you can do it yourself, I'll stay in a hotel." Ruikang ignored them and walked out alone.
"What!" Hu Xiaofen was shocked, if Ruikang is gone, how will his follow-up charm plan be implemented? She wanted to catch up and shout to stop him, but Zhou Ruikang had already walked out of the study quickly and disappeared.
Master Zhou sighed, comforted Hu Xiaofen and said, "You don't have to pay attention to him, he has had this temper since he was a child, I will find a chance to talk to him." ”
The child started crying again, Master Zhou hurriedly coaxed him distressedly, Hu Xiaofen said with some embarrassment: "I think he is hungry, and I don't have enough milk......"
"Oh oh oh, it's okay, I'll find someone to buy milk powder right away." said that he was really happy to carry the child out of the study and find the servants to buy milk powder.
In the study, it was suddenly quieter, and only Cheng Jiaqi and Hu Xiaofen were left.
Hu Xiaofen looked at Cheng Jiaqi, and she was still taken aback, she originally thought that Zhou Ruikang had snubbed Cheng Jiaqi all the year round, it must be because Cheng Jiaqi was mediocre in appearance, or traditional and conservative, and could not match Ruikang, but she didn't expect Cheng Jiaqi to be dignified and elegant, noble and generous, dressed elegantly and decently, and she was compared on the spot, but fortunately, she had youth and a son, so she subconsciously straightened her chest, sat up straight, cleared her throat, and shouted: "Sister Cheng? ”
Jiaqi stepped forward and smiled faintly: "We don't need to be sisters, you can call me Jiaqi." I have received your letters. ”
Hu Xiaofen stood up, a little embarrassed, and then said to Jiaqi with pity: "No, no, no, we are respectful and humble, I still have to call you sister, I'm sorry, I think my letter made you sad." If it weren't for this child, I would never bother my sister, and I wouldn't dare to think anything wrong, everything I did was for this child. ”
"Congratulations!" Jiaqi chuckled, and could hear her constantly emphasizing her child, glancing at her and asking, "How did you find this?" ”
"This ...... It was Song Yuanyang, Mr. Song's wife, Helen who told me. She knew that I was alone in the United States with children, and she had no support, and she took pity on me...... That's why ...... Tell me. Hu Xiaofen lowered her head and shed tears aggrievedly.
Jiaqi shook her head, very strange, she was jealous of Mei Ruojun, but she was not jealous of Hu Xiaofen, she even sympathized with Hu Xiaofen, maybe she, like Hu Xiaofen, was just a person who had ever gotten Ruikang, but never got his heart.
Jiaqi patted her hand, frowned lightly and said, "Okay, this is the end of the matter, since you are here, let's stay." The child is still so young, and he always needs someone to take care of him. I'll hire a babysitter tomorrow to help you take care of the kids, and I'll arrange a girl for you to serve you. ”
Hu Xiaofen raised her eyes excitedly, looked at Jiaqi gratefully, Jiaqi shook her head, and took Hu Xiaofen to familiarize herself with the path and house in the mansion.
Passing by, he didn't even look at the two of them, went straight to the gate, got into the car, and walked away.
Hu Xiaofen still wanted to catch up, but Cheng Jiaqi smiled bitterly: "Don't chase it, he won't come back." ”
Hu Xiaofen turned around and looked at Jiaqi in disappointment, Cheng Jiaqi shook his head and said, "You and I are not the ones who can keep him." ”
"Isn't that the vixen?"
"What vixen?" Jiaqi looked at her strangely as she led her upstairs.
"Doesn't my sister know that vixen surnamed Mei?" Hu Xiaofen gritted her teeth and said.
Cheng Jiaqi stopped, turned her head and looked at her with a little surprise: "Do you know Mei Ruojun?" ”
"Yes, I've read Ruikang's letter to her."
"What? Did Ruikang write a letter to Mei Ruojun? ”
"Yes, but I didn't get the letters out." Hu Xiaofen said a little proudly.
Cheng Jiaqi frowned and groaned secretly, shaking her head, she didn't know what it was like, she always thought that Ruikang had not written to Mei Ruojun, thinking that in the passage of time, Ruikang's infatuation with Ruojun would gradually disappear, so she had been waiting for him for seven years with luck, hoping that Ruikang could start over with her. It turned out that Ruikang wrote a letter to Ruojun because Hu Xiaofen was obstructed and could not send it...... She sighed heavily.
Hu Xiaofen destroyed Ruikang's letter to Ruojun, and he and Master Zhou did not mention Ruojun's whereabouts, so Ruikang and Ruojun were blocked alive. Cheng Jiaqi had mixed feelings in her heart, and felt that she was a little sorry for Ruojun and Ruikang, but after thinking about it, she was the rightful Mrs. Zhou Ruikang, why did she want to fulfill her rival? No, she won't tell Ruikang Ruojun's whereabouts, she won't...... She held her head high and walked up the steps in the posture of a hostess.
