Chapter 33: Broken
After Zhong Shu hung up the phone, he said to Xie Suichen, who was standing next to her, "I'm afraid you're going to go back to my house with me." ”
Xie Suichen waved his hand and said, "What's there, go home when you go home, the last time I saw your father at Xie Jinyang's wedding, I haven't had time to say a word to him, it's just right!" ”
Zhong Shu saw his sparse and ordinary appearance, and felt slightly guilty in his heart, although now everyone in the Xie family knows that they are husband and wife, but only the two of them know that they are just partners.
And he Xie Suichen already had a lot of troubles, but now he had to follow her to her house.
"I'm sorry." Zhong Shu said.
Xie Suichen saw her like this, and immediately replied: "It's okay, I'm sorry, Yuanyuan, don't forget, I'm your husband to go to your house to see your father, that's a matter of course, as the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law still wants to see her in-laws, let alone me!" ”
His words sounded very relaxed and leisurely, but for Zhong Shu, it still didn't seem to convince her.
Xie Suichen asked: "Why do you think that taking me to meet your father is a sorry thing for me, Yuanyuan, this is a very lucky thing for me." ”
Zhong Shu shook his head and said: "No, you don't understand, if I took you to meet my grandfather, I would definitely not be like this, but the other party is my father, Zhong Jianguo, that is a person I particularly hate, if nothing else, I can still see my stepmother Luo Yujuan when I go home." ”
Xie Suichen saw her appearance and knew that his father Zhong Jianguo and her stepmother Luo Yujuan should be two not very good people, if the two of them were very good, she would not be like this.
"Are you particularly afraid that the two of them will make things difficult for me?" Xie Suichen asked.
Zhong Shu nodded, Xie Suichen was right, she was really worried that Zhong Jianguo and Luo Yujuan would make things difficult for Xie Suichen.
"Yuanyuan, you know? I'm happy right now. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xie Suichen's mouth, his heart was really happy and happy at this moment, because Zhong Shu was worried that her father and stepmother would make things difficult for him, which meant that she cared about him very much, and was cared for by the girl she liked, which was a very happy thing.
"Xie Suichen, are you stupid? I told you that you might be troubled by my father and stepmother, and you still think you're happy, are you shaking? Zhong Shu said.
"What nonsense? I'm happy because I see that you care about me, anyway, why do you think your father and stepmother will make things difficult for me? I can understand your stepmother's troubles, doesn't your father love you either? Xie Suichen asked curiously.
Zhong Shu is Zhong Jianguo's biological daughter, Zhong Jianguo won't even hurt his own biological daughter, right?
"Do you know why my name is Zhong Shu and why my brother is called Zhong Li? He hated our mother, and he hated me and my brother. Zhong Shu said leisurely.
In fact, some of her experiences, she wanted to hide them a lot of the time, and didn't want to tell anyone, because she knew that even if she told others, others would just listen to them like stories, and no one would ever be able to feel the pain in her heart, so he didn't want to talk about it.
But when Xie Suichen was in front of her, she naturally wanted to tell these things.
"After my brother and I were brought back from the adoption center by him, although he gave us food and clothing, he also allowed Luo Yujuan to abuse us, every time Zhong Ning said that I bullied her, he didn't ask, he didn't check, he relied on all the responsibility on me." Zhong Shu's mind seemed to recall something a long, long time ago.
"I really don't understand, I don't understand, why? He wants to treat me like this, if he hates us, why should he take us back from the adoption center, since we have brought it back, we must take care of it, since we can't do it, we should be sent back again, we are not things that can be trampled on at will, we are human beings and have our own dignity! Zhong Shu said.
Her words seemed calm to Xie Suichen's ears, but in fact, there was a kind of anger and sadness hidden in her heart that did not erupt.
Xie Suichen slowly approached her, stretched out his hand and touched her head, looking at the always strong and arrogant like her eyes also showed a little tears, although there were very few, but after all, they also flowed out.
"It's all over, Yuanyuan......" he called her name in his ear over and over again.
He hoped that the warmth in his voice would dissipate the discomfort in her heart.
He tried to tell her several times that he was the little boy he had played well with her when he was a child, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say it.
What he is doing now is very dangerous, he wants to get back everything he has lost from Xie Linyue, and how Xie Linyue treated him, he has to return it to him from generation to generation.
He knew that the road he was going to take next would not be easy, and if she knew that he was the little boy she had seen playing well when she was a child, she would definitely not stand idly by if any accident or danger happened to him in the future.
And he just didn't want to see that she wouldn't stand idly by, he wanted her to put her in a dangerous situation, she would be like a bystander, she didn't have to be involved.
He had already thought of everything for her.
So he definitely wouldn't tell her about the two of them knowing each other when they were children, maybe in Zhong Shu's mind, she had long forgotten such a friend when she was a child.
It's good to forget, and you don't have to remember.
"Are you going to go home with me? Would you like to meet people I hate, to meet people who are more ruthless than tigers than lions? Zhong Shu said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Xie Suichen nodded and replied: "You said, we are partners, we are the ones who hand over the back to each other, since this is the case, then of course I can't let you go home alone, don't worry, I will accompany you back, no matter how difficult your father and your stepmother are, I will not be afraid, I am Xie Suichen, what can they do to me?" ”
Zhong Shu nodded, feeling a trace of warmth in her heart, and this warmth was enough to make her whole person soft.
She did have doubts about Xie Suichen's identity, but even if she was suspicious of him, in the process of getting along with him, she found that this person was still sincere and friendly when facing her.
He didn't mean to hurt her, so why should he defend him like an enemy?
He's right, they're partners, they're able to give each other's backs, and they need to trust each other.
"Thank you." Zhong Shu said sincerely.
After lunch. Zhong Shu and Xie Suichen arrived at the door of Zhong's house together.
Zhong Shu didn't even want to go back to this place, let alone bring any gifts back, the two of them stood at the door empty-handed, and after glancing at each other, Zhong Shu rang the doorbell.
The one who opened the door for him was the old nanny of the Zhong family, Aunt Yao.
Aunt Yao saw that it was Zhong Shu, and said with great joy: "Miss, you are back, come in." ”
Zhong Shu nodded, Aunt Yao was still very good to her in her impression.
And the reason for this is because her mother was very good to Aunt Yao when she was in the Zhong family, so Aunt Yao has always been very grateful for her mother's kindness to her.
The two walked in slowly and came to the living room, where Zhong Jianguo was watching TV.
Seeing Zhong Shu and Xie Suichen coming, he picked up the remote control on the small table in front of him and turned off the TV, and his face instantly turned black.
Zhong Shu came to him and called his father in a low voice.
Zhong Jianguo threw the remote control in his hand at her, and the remote control suddenly smashed into her face.
Xie Suichen immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
Zhong Shu shook his head, and his face changed.
"Do you remember that I am your father? I don't tell us when I get married, I really get bolder and bigger! Zhong Jianguo said solemnly.
"When have you been in charge of me, and why are you in charge of me now? Who are you to control me? Zhong Shu said coldly.
"What qualifications do I have to manage you, I'm your father, do you think I can manage you?" Zhong Jianguo said.
"You are embarrassed to say, you are my father doesn't know, and you think you are my stepfather, no matter what Zhong Ning says, you think it's my fault, in your heart Zhong Ning is your daughter, when did you treat me as your daughter!" Zhong Shu said.
"Say it again!" Zhong Jianguo was annoyed and angry, and stepped forward and raised his hand to hit Zhong Shu.
Xie Suichen immediately stepped forward, staring at Zhong Jianguo in front of him as cold as his eyes, Zhong Jianguo saw Xie Suichen's appearance, and was really taken aback by his temperament.
"What do you want to do? I'll teach my daughter, what do you do, outsiders don't interfere in our family's affairs, you have no qualifications to care! Zhong Jianguo said.
"She is my wife, of course I am qualified to take care of it, since he married me, it has nothing to do with your Zhong family, if you beat him, you have to see if I am willing!" Xie Suichen's words were quite domineering.
When Zhong Jianguo heard what he said, he didn't insist on fighting, and said: "I'll ask you, your sister and your brother-in-law Xie Jinyang were recorded and photographed in the police station, are you looking for those reporters?" ”
Zhong Shu walked out from behind Xie Suichen, looked at Zhong Jianguo and said: "That's right, those reporters are what I found, I just want everyone to know what kind of person she Zhong Ning is, I was bullied by her when I was young, it doesn't mean that I can always be bullied by her in my life, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone people!" ”
When her words fell, Zhong Jianguo slapped her in the face, an extremely loud slap, which made everyone present stunned.
Xie Suichen saw Zhong Jianguo slap Zhong Shu, stepped forward, pushed Zhong Jianguo far away, pulled Zhong Shu in front of him in front of him, and carefully checked her face, which was already a big red patch.
But this girl did not look weak in the slightest.
"How are you? You okay? Does it hurt? Xie Suichen asked with great distress.
Zhong Shu shook his head.
Turning his head to look, Zhong Jianguo, who had been pushed far away, Zhong Jianguo was carrying his back at this moment, and Luo Yujuan was supporting.
Luo Yujuan was also asking Zhong Jianguo if there was anything wrong, and after asking, she inserted her waist and came to them and said: "Zhong Shu, that is your father, you dare to treat him like this, aren't you afraid that others will say that you are not filial?" ”
Zhong Shu smiled faintly.
