Chapter 2 Resoluteness

When I woke up late at night, I was so hungry!

She remembered that she hadn't eaten anything all day, and suddenly remembered the leek-stuffed dumplings she used to love.

He was so disgusted with leeks that he couldn't even smell them.

She hesitated for a moment, but soon stopped caring: he wouldn't accompany her to eat, so what did it matter if she ate alone?

She quietly changed her clothes, quietly walked out of the room, and quietly walked out of the house, but was startled by the driver standing in the yard.

"Ma'am, where are you going?"

She calmed down her frightened little heart a little, turned around gracefully, and smiled with the smile that a housewife should have: "It's just right, I'm going to use the car!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

The driver hesitated a little and said, "I'll send you, right?" ”

She agreed.

When she waited for the once familiar shop to open and waited for the second half of the night, she was warmly welcomed by the familiar shopkeeper.

Eating the familiar taste that she had not seen for a long time, she suddenly felt a kind of ritual baptism, and her more than three years of married life seemed to suddenly become a vague and profound dream, and she was reborn after waking up from the dream.

"Miss Tan." The proprietress personally gave her the last plate of stir-fried and a small glass of Xinghua spring liquor that she liked, sat down and looked at her like a daughter looking back at the door, and said kindly: "I haven't seen you here for more than three years!" I'm glad to know that you're married, and you're married to the young CEO of the Zhao Group. On TV, you are like a pair of golden boys and girls, especially on the right side! ”

She accepted it with a smile and didn't complain to anyone. From childhood to adulthood, as the only heir of the Tan family, she understood from her father's words and deeds that complaining is just a catharsis for the weak, and it is useless. She said, "Thank you." Has your business been good in the past few years? ”

The proprietress smiled: "It's okay." A small business, which can't survive or starve, is not bigger than you. ”

She laughed: "But I don't know how much I envy you!" ”

When other guests came, the proprietress said to her a little reluctantly: "It's rare to see you, you ...... see it." Miss Tan, eat slowly, I'll go say hello, ah? ”

She knew that for the proprietress, she was flattered that a daughter like her was willing to come to eat in such a small restaurant, and she was almost relieved to treat her as a relative. She smiled and said, "It's okay, I will come as often as I did in the future, as before." Let's go and greet the guests first. ”

The proprietress was really happy: "Really? That's great! Then I'll go over first, what's not enough, call me, I'll give you a twenty-fold discount! ”

She smiled and nodded, watching the proprietress leave. Money, of course, she will not give less, but for her insignificant change, it is the hard-earned money of the proprietress and his wife who get up early and are greedy for darkness. She nodded, just accepting the friendship, and also respecting the kindness of the proprietress .

The driver offered to go home, but she wanted to go to the gallery she had once known to see. The driver euphemistically threatened her: "If Mr. Zhao knows........"

"If he wants to know something, you can tell him." She didn't budge, "By car, or the car stays, you can go back." ”

It's just the first time in history. In the past, as long as the driver or maid mentioned Zhao Jingdong, she could basically be subdued to their wishes. This is how she is gradually besieged by a pair of invisible hands, waiting in sight.

The driver was stunned for a moment and reluctantly started the car.

The gallery has changed owners, but many of the paintings on display are still old friends. She looked at them as they were polished shiny but could not hide their loneliness, like lifeless elves. She suddenly took a deep breath, and felt ridiculous for these paintings and for herself: how can the glamorous appearance compete with the indifference of the people around her? Is the disheartenness hidden under the brilliant brilliance the greatest sorrow?

In the end, she spent a few hours going to the mall, brushed out hundreds of thousands, bought something she really liked, and even changed into a set on the spot, and then threw the old clothes into the trash can on the side of the road without hesitation, and put the old jewelry in the jewelry store to sell on consignment, but the wedding ring made her hesitate. Yes, she still loves him, even though he dismisses her, even though she doesn't want to put up with it anymore! She kept the ring, but took it off.

When he returned home, without exception, he was nowhere to be seen, but she didn't care anymore, this marriage had long since existed in name only, and home was no different from a hotel outside for him, perhaps not as attractive as a hotel.

She ordered the servant as a matter of course: "Aunt Zhang, send the things into my room, and in addition, dispose of the old ones." ”

Aunt Zhang was shocked, just when the driver brought in a large pile of paper bags, Aunt Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "What's the situation?" Is the wife evil? ”

The driver left without saying anything, and Aunt Zhang had no choice but to comply, but there was obvious disapproval in her expression.

In fact, she was not so arrogant when she was a young lady in the Tan family, but Aunt Wang, who came here with her from the Tan family, had long been excluded, and Aunt Zhang was used to treating her as an ornament, and she didn't need to change the situation by some forceful means, and it was impossible to be herself in this family. Sometimes, offense is the best defense! She looked in the mirror admiring her new outfit and was ready.

Aunt Zhang struggled to bring everything in two trips, and complained presumptuously: "I said Mrs., why did you buy so many things, and the things at home are not enough for you to use?" If Mr. Zhao knew ........"

"He should know that it was his card that was swiped." She didn't even reply, "When you say that, I also think that there are too many annoying things at home, and I have to clean up well!" You go out first, I'll call you when you need to throw out the garbage. ”

Aunt Zhang opened her mouth in surprise, but it took five or six seconds before she spoke: "What do you mean by this?" We Mr. Zhao ........"

"If you Zhao have any opinions, you will tell me directly!" She interrupted her, and was ready to look at her "booty" one by one: "Get out." ”

Aunt Zhang said angrily: "I won't help you throw anything without Mr. Zhao's order, this family belongs to Mr. Zhao, and you don't have the right to call the shots!" With that, she turned and left.

"Wait!" She stopped Aunt Zhang, and walked up to her and said solemnly: "Home, I share it with him, if you don't fit in, go back to Zhao's house, so as not to be dismissed in the future and lose your face." After speaking, he looked at her fixedly for two seconds before saying, "Get out!" Then he ignored her.

For dinner, she ate with relish, just as happy as when she was single, and was no longer depressed by his absence.

Before the meal was finished, he came back drunk and looked at her deeply. She ignored it, he walked to the sofa dissatisfied, sat for a while, and then called her by name: "Tan Xinya!" ”

She ignored it and continued to enjoy her dinner. This small bar used to be the home bar where he enjoyed her company and careful service throughout the whole process, and now, she also wants to enjoy her carefully renovated small bar alone.

He couldn't wait for a response, glanced back, seemed to hesitate for half a second, and shouted domineeringly: "Tan Xinya, come over quickly!" ”

She said nonchalantly, "We'll talk about it when you're sober." - Aunt Zhang, help him back to the room, and clean the guest room. ”

Surprised and angry, he stood up and looked at her: "Are you evil? Come here! ”

She ate the peeled shrimp and wiped her hands to stand up. He smiled triumphantly and looked at his long-domesticated pet.

She walked straight past him, and his face changed suddenly, and he stepped forward and rudely pulled her by the arm and threw her against the wall, thinking he was in control of everything, and said, "Enough trouble, right?" I don't have much patience! ”

Her heart still hurt when she looked at his handsome face, but she smiled as if she were watching a farce. She raised her hand, gently stroked his smooth and stylish chin with the back of her fingers, and said softly, "Jingdong, let's separate for the time being, shall we?" ”

He looked at her in shock for a few seconds, grabbed her wrist in annoyance, and taunted her cruelly and disdainfully: "Don't you really like that beggar? Tan Xinya, you should know that I, Zhao Jingdong, have no shortage of women, and I have always kept your name because of my past feelings, so that you can see me often. What do you want to do now? Want to get away with it? I tell you, get out of this door, don't come to me again! As he spoke, he threw her in the direction of the stairs and commanded, "Don't go back to the room yet!" ”

Naturally, she was no match for him, and could only stagger at the mercy of his force. But after gaining a firm foothold, he said calmly and firmly: "For the sake of the prospects of the Zhao family and the Tan family, we will retain each other's dignity and be separated for a while, and then decide whether we will still be together." Of course, if you don't think it's necessary, you can go straight to the formalities! ”

As if hearing a joke, with deep disdain, he approached her step by step and unbuttoned his shirt: "Say what? OK, I know, you're so lonely! Am I not back with you? Obedient, OK? He picked her up and strode upstairs.

She tried hard to tear his back and couldn't make him stop, the smell of perfume mixed with his body made her nauseous to the point that she wanted to vomit, she couldn't bear to hit him hard and shouted: "Zhao Jingdong, let go of me!" Are you going to sacrifice hue for a future? You make me sick! ”

It wasn't just him who hurt him, but her words stung his pride, and he threw her down in anger, hitting her in pain. He pointed to her nose and said condescendingly, "Who do you think you are?" Do I need to please you? I just pity you! Good! If you like to make trouble, you can make trouble! If you want to beg me again after enough trouble, there is no door! Hum! He turned away without hesitation.

Aunt Zhang shrugged her shoulders gloating and left the living room, pretending that she didn't exist.

She sat on the ground, silently enduring the pain, her heart hurting more than her body! "Pathetic"? She loved him with all her heart for nineteen years, nine months and twelve days, and in exchange for his pity?! She smiled bitterly, but shed two lines of tears, got up silently, went back to the room silently, and silently swore: Zhao Jingdong, I don't accept your "pity" either, I want you to know that even if I die of heartache, I don't need your "pity"!
